Chapter 664: Cuscuta Cousin 28
Fanfeng Courtyard.
"Why are you daydreaming? Didn't I say I would look at the picture album?"
Lady Fu looked at her sister-in-law in confusion.
Mrs. Fu seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Are you worried about my second brother?" Lady Fu thought about it and could only think of this reason. She consoled him, "The Duke said that in this battle with the Turks, they are no match for my second brother."
A few days after the imperial concubine entered the palace, a war broke out on the border, and Master Fu was sent out by the current emperor to suppress it. Several days have passed since then.
Madam Fu shook her head: "It's not my master's business."
"What's that?" asked the Duchess's wife.
Madam Fu hesitated, and finally gave up: "Did my sister-in-law show these albums to the prince?"
"Hmm?" The Duke's wife's eyes dimmed: "You met the prince."
Madam Fu nodded: "The prince said these people are not good enough."
"That kid specifically told you no? When did he become so concerned about this kind of thing--"
Before he could finish his words, the Lady of the Duke and Madam Fu II suddenly looked at each other, as if they had thought of something. They saw shock, confusion, and suspicion in each other's eyes.
-
A few days later.
"Prince!" Chang Ji hurried in from outside with an extremely ugly expression on his face.
Fu Jinmo was writing. Hearing this, he didn't even look at him.
"What's the matter?"
Chang Ji hurriedly cupped his hands, gritted his teeth, and said:
"Your subordinate, your subordinate heard from the maid in Fanfeng Courtyard that the Second Madam found a date for your cousin in Zhongcheng Building, and today!"
A drop of ink fell on the edict, and the entire paper was completely ruined.
Seeing this, Chang Ji quickly lowered his eyes. He obviously knew that his trip here was not in vain.
-
Over here, in the carriage.
"Aunt, aunt. What are we doing here today?" Sheng Huan held Madam Fu's hand, feeling a little confused.
Why did you suddenly say you wanted to leave the house?
Madam Fu and the Duke's wife looked at each other and quickly looked away. She patted her niece's hand and said, "Come out for a walk. Your cousin has entered the palace, and you have been staying at home these days without going out. Are you bored?"
Sheng Huan smiled and shook his head: "No, I'm not. You're here with me, Auntie."
"You are a mischievous ghost." Madam Fu nodded Sheng Huan's head.
"Madam, Madam, cousin, we've arrived at Zhongcheng Building." The coachman's voice was heard outside.
Before Sheng Huan could even think of any doubts, Madam Fu said, "Let's go have a meal. The food outside tastes a little different from the food in the mansion."
"Auntie is right."
Just as the three of them were about to enter the guest room, they happened to run into Fu Jingzhou and his colleagues.
"Mother, aunt, cousin." Fu Jingzhou introduced: "This is my colleague, Lin Zhaoheng."
Lin Zhaoheng, this year's new third place winner, is indeed very literary and a handsome scholar.
Fu Jingzhou introduced the person to his colleague again: "Zhao Heng, this is..."
Lin Zhaoheng raised his hand: "Zhaoheng greets both ladies, Miss Shen."
"Are you here to eat?"
Madam Fu II glanced at her sister-in-law and quickly asked her son, she never expected such a coincidence, how could they really meet, she hadn't decided on a date for her niece yet, this time she came out just for...
"Yes, mother, Zhao Heng and I happened to be passing by here."
The Duke's wife suddenly said, "We just happened to come here for dinner. Since we met, why don't we go together?"
Madam Fu's eyes twitched, and the Duke's wife gave her a look. Suddenly, the two of them seemed to understand something and fell silent.
Sheng Huan stood there, seemingly not understanding what was happening.
Anyway, in the end, everyone went into a guest room.
No one who had entered the guest room saw it. In the distance, a man in red happened to witness this scene. His hand holding the sword suddenly tightened.
The lazy smile in his eyes became heavy.
"Prince?" The subordinate looked in the direction his own prince was looking, but he saw nothing.
The corners of Xiao Ye Ze's lips straightened: "Go up."
-
In the guest room.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much and was in great spirits.
However, Fu Jingzhou always felt that there was something wrong with the expressions of his mother and aunt. Why were they looking at the door from time to time?
He looked at Sheng Huan with a questioning look.
Sheng Huan was confused. He held the chopsticks and shook his head slightly, pretending to know nothing.
"Eat quickly, Ying'er, this food is delicious." Mrs. Fu ignored the quarrel between the two siblings and happily served food to them.
-
At that time, downstairs, Fu Jinmo walked into Zhongcheng Building with a cold look on his body. The air pressure around him was extremely low, and people who passed by him wanted to run away as far as possible.
Chang Ji followed behind his master and almost shivered with cold.
Fu Jinmo didn't pay attention to these. After he entered Zhongcheng Building, he looked around calmly. Just then, he saw a familiar servant standing outside a guest room on the second floor.
"Prince, it's Nanny You and the others." Chang Ji said in a low voice.
It was obvious that the lady and the others were in that guest room.
Fu Jinmo's eyes narrowed slightly, his fingertips moved slightly, and he took a step forward.
He went up the stairs, but when he was about to approach the guest room, he met an unexpected person - Xiao Ye Ze.
