In the hall, two equally outstanding and handsome men were concentrating on the chessboard in front of each other at the moment; Dongfang Ao held a chess piece in his hand and was thinking about how to make this move.
"Brother, how can you have such a leisurely mood today, you don't need to accompany the sister-in-law, and you have time to come to me to confront Yi?"
A year ago, the eldest brother married Luo Binger, and he loved his wife like his life. After he found out that his restless wife was pregnant, he stayed by her side; It was bitter, but he dared not speak out.
I believe that anyone who has seen the elder sister-in-law without a trace of consciousness of being pregnant, still jumping and jumping, sees everyone breaking a cold sweat for her; for the first child of the Dongfang family, he does not dare to have the elder brother to guard the elder sister-in-law. any comments.
"Bing'er is taking a nap, I have asked Xiaoqing to stay beside her bed."
Dongfang Ling kept his eyes fixed on the chessboard, and was not hurried or slow.
"Having an active wife is a real hassle."
After moving the chess pieces, Dongfang Ao spoke his thoughts with disapproval in his words.
Hearing this, Dongfang Ling Junlang had a gentle smile on his face.
"At least for me, she's not a problem, and I'm glad I met her. What about you? I heard that your fiancee showed up, and there are still two?"
"Brother, why do I think your real purpose is not to play against me, but to come here for this matter?"
Dongfang Ao raised his eyebrows, picked up the porcelain cup on the side, opened the porcelain lid, and suddenly a burst of aroma overflowed, sipped the tea, and then turned his attention back to the chessboard.
"What? As your elder brother, can't I ask?"
The smile on Dongfang Ling's face did not diminish, and the deep voice was as usual, but it made Dongfang Ao instantly calm down and dare not respond lightly.
The big brother's trick is too treacherous. I believe that if it were the other two younger brothers, he would never dare to say "no" in front of him.
"Brother's news is really good."
Dongfang Ao can only laugh dryly, and dare not hide it, he will tell it all through the passage.
"What are you going to do next? Are you sure?"
"Not yet, I will handle this matter myself, big brother, don't worry about it."
No matter who that person is, since he has the courage to pretend to be his fiancee, how could he not play with her.
"Bing'er seems to have a very good impression of that girl Cao. In your opinion, what kind of person is she?"
He had to make sure that she wasn't a person with ill intentions, otherwise how could he let Bing'er come into contact with her at ease
"Don't worry, big brother, I have sent people to pay close attention to their every move. Also, Miss Cao doesn't seem like someone who knows martial arts. I will never let them have the opportunity to hurt my sister-in-law."
There seemed to be a soft and elegant face in front of him, and he quickly shook his head to shake off the sudden daze, and this scene did not escape Dongfang Ling's sharp eyes.
It seems that, as Jiang Bo said, this is indeed a good show worth watching.

Last night, it rained heavily, and even though the rain stopped in the early morning, the air was still cold, especially in this early winter, it was even more chilly.
A slender figure in a pink shirt and a cowardly skirt leaned against the railing, looking up at the gray sky, her soft face was thoughtful, and she didn't feel the biting coldness at all.
"Miss!"
With a worried exclamation, Qiu Yu looked anxious, holding a red cloak in her hand, and trotted to her side.
"Miss, why don't you put on more clothes and blow the cold wind here! What if you get wind chill?! Your body is not as good as before, and you don't know how to take good care of yourself!"
Qiu Yu hurriedly put a red velvet tufted cloak over her slender body, and kept on chanting, that cursing aura didn't look like a maid at all.
"Yes, yes, my good Qiu Yu, I know I'm wrong, so stop reading it."
Cao Ziyun sighed funnyly, and let her carefully fasten the cloak on her body so that no cold wind could blow into her body. The soft voice was as soft as the spring breeze, not only did not have the momentum of a master, but instead smiled at the angry maid.
Qiu Yu snorted coldly, her eyes filled with suspicion. If the lady knew how to take care of herself, she wouldn't have to worry about her every day. That's right, it's every day, and that's the main reason why she was chosen by the master to be the maidservant of the young lady.
Cao Ziyun's soft face still had a smile on her face, ignoring her stare, and of course she didn't care about her arrogant behavior. The two have grown up together since childhood, and they are like sisters. She has never treated her as a maid, but Amity naturally understands it, and she is grateful but treats her as a responsibility. The slightly raised pink lips had a bit of bitterness.
The slightly restrained clear eyes caught a glimpse of a yellow-shirted figure walking towards this place, Liu Mei raised slightly, and said in a low voice in surprise:
"Miss Lee."
As soon as Qiu Yu saw the person coming, she immediately protected her in front of the young lady, like a lioness defending her cubs, grinning and roaring at Li Caifeng.
"What are you doing here, thief?! We don't welcome you!"
"You maid, keep your mouth clean."
Li Caifeng raised her face arrogantly, her eyes squinting at the person in front of her—there are twinkling clear eyes on her soft and graceful face, and her eyes fluttered, revealing a hint of coquettishness, and her slender figure made people There is a charm that I still feel pity for.
Although she doesn't want to admit it, this Cao Ziyun looks really good, and it is definitely a threat to her.
"Qiu Yu, don't be rude."
Cao Ziyun reprimanded her lightly and pulled her behind her. With a smile on her elegant and pretty face, she gently asked politely:
"Miss Li, I don't know why you came here to find me?"
"We're here to ask you both to get acquainted with each other, hurry up and admit to the second young master that you are a fake, and then get out of Dongfang Mansion."
Cuiyu stood up and spoke for her young lady; with her domineering attitude, Qiu Yu was so angry that she protected him in front of Cao Ziyun, not to be outdone.
"Joke! This sentence should be said by us. Both of you master and servant are thieves. First, you stole the silver bracelet of our young lady, and even more shameless, you dared to pretend to be our young lady's identity. I live to the end. I have never seen such a despicable and shameless person before, but today I finally saw it.”
"You bitch, dare to talk nonsense here, let's see how I teach you!"
Li Caifeng's face was ashen with anger, and he raised his hand to give Qiu Yu a slap.
"Wait a minute!"
Cao Ziyun hurriedly pulled Qiu Yu behind her, and at the same time took a step back cleverly; although she always advocated that peace was the most important thing and did not like to quarrel with others, she also did not allow people to bully those around her.
"Miss Li, no matter what you do, you shouldn't beat people. I think we all know the truth of this matter, so let Dongfang Ao decide everything."
"You—"
Li Caifeng glared at Qiu Yu behind her, unwilling to let Qiu Yu go like this, just as she was about to have a seizure, a light cough came from behind her.
"Cough, cough."
Jiang Bo watched it for a while, and seeing that the situation was not right, he made a sound at the right time to avoid a dispute.
"Two girls, Second Young Master, please come to the side hall for lunch together."
"It's time to work, Director Jiang."
Li Caifeng quickly put on a smiling face, with a polite tone that was different from the coquettish and sloppy look just now.
Jiang Bo just glanced at her lightly, then turned around and motioned for the two to follow him.
"Miss… "
Qiu Yu took Cao Ziyun's hand uneasy, worried that if she was not by her side, she would be at a disadvantage when facing Li Caifeng alone.
"Don't worry, it's just a meal."
Cao Ziyun reassured her with a light smile, and seeing Jiang Bo waiting in front, she quickly followed.
＊＊＊ ＊＊＊ bbs.fmx.cn ＊＊＊
Under the leadership of Uncle Jiang, he passed through rockeries, flowing water, small bridges, waterside pavilions, and gardens. Along the way, Cao Ziyun was surprised by the vast area of Dongfang Mansion, and thought: he is indeed the richest man in Luoyang City.
While looking at the layout of Dongfang Mansion, she secretly wrote down the path she had taken. After all, she couldn't leave Dongfang Mansion in a short time. Remembering the path will help her to walk in Dongfang Mansion.
"Mr. Jiang, I heard that the second young master has three other brothers. Why haven't we seen them? From now on, we will all be one family. I have to say hello to them and get to know each other."
After seeing the landscaping of the vast gardens in Dongfang Mansion, Li Caifeng was bound to gain the wealth and Dongfang pride of Dongfang Mansion.
"Apart from the eldest young master and his wife, the other two young masters are not in the mansion today."
Uncle Jiang, who was walking in front, could not help but frown slightly. He felt deeply disgusted that she regarded herself as the Dongfang family in her words, but he still stopped and told her politely.
"I heard that Dongfang Mansion is located in Luoyang City. It has two large restaurants in the east and west of the city, and their business is very good and well-known. Is this true?"
Seeing him stop, Li Caifeng couldn't help but ask again. When she first arrived in Luoyang, she once lived in the "Dragon and Phoenix Tower" in the east of the city. At that time, she was shocked by the spectacle of the full house and even the row across the street. After asking, she realized that it belonged to the Dongfang House. , and there is one room in the east and west of the city, and the business is also staggeringly good.
"That's right."
Jiang Bo watched the obvious excitement on her face, and a cold light flashed across his eyes. He didn't want to say more, and started again. The impression of Li Caifeng in his heart can be said to have fallen to the bottom of the valley.
"Two girls, the side hall is just ahead, and the second young master is waiting for you inside."
Jiang Bo stopped a few steps in front of the side hall and motioned for the two to enter directly. As soon as he finished speaking, he walked away in the opposite direction.
Li Caifeng couldn't wait to step into the side hall first; as soon as she entered, she saw Dongfang Ao's handsome face at a glance, and a bright smile appeared on her beautiful face. vacancy.
Cao Ziyun, who followed behind, chose a seat farther away from the two.
The black eyes glanced at the two of them lightly, and then motioned for the maid next to him to serve the dishes. When the delicacies came to the table, Dongfang Ao took the lead in moving the chopsticks. During the meal, Li Caifeng peeked at the handsome man beside him many times, and finally couldn't help speaking:
"Second Young Master, when I first came to Luoyang City, should you do your best as a landlord and take me around?"
As he was talking, Jiao Chu leaned into his body intentionally or unintentionally, and whispered seductively in his ear.
"Neither of you can take a step out of Dongfang Mansion until it is clear which of the two of you is impersonating."
Cold black eyes stared straight at her approaching delicate body, thin lips light? , spit out indifferent words.
Under his sharp eyes, Li Caifeng's back suddenly ran through a cold thought, and he sat upright in a hurry, not daring to try to seduce him again.
It was vaguely understood that Dongfang Ao was not a man who could be controlled. It seemed that she had to be more careful in the days to come in Dongfang Mansion.
"Could it be that you plan to imprison us in the mansion privately? This approach makes me suspect that this Dongfang mansion is really what the people of Luoyang City call a house of good deeds."
Cao Ziyun, who had been eating in silence, was originally going to speak ironically, but as soon as her soft voice came out, people couldn't feel the sarcasm in her tone, but were attracted by her soft and soft tone.
Dongfang Ao stared at her with black eyes like torches, and a touch of admiration flashed across his eyes. He naturally heard the sarcasm in her tone, but what made him ponder was her soft and imposing voice.
The woman in front of him is a beautiful and intelligent woman. Her quiet temperament and the intelligence in her words make people involuntarily deeply attracted. Compared with the woman next to him who is trying to seduce him, it can be said to be a world of difference. I believe that in the future It won't be too boring to find out who the two are. He secretly hoped that when the truth came out, he would not be disappointed with her.
"Miss Cao, what you said is two different things. After all, compared with the people who are simply in need of help, there is a counterfeiter among you who has evil intentions and has a unique attempt to infiltrate my Dongfang Mansion. If it were you, Miss Cao, would you? Can you avoid it?"
"Even so, we are all weak women with little power, how much harm can we do, is the second young master too worried?"
As soon as the topic started, in order not to be trapped in the Oriental Mansion all day, she had the right to fight for her future freedom.
"People are unpredictable, please forgive me for having to guard against it."
Dongfang Ao didn't expect that talking with her would be so interesting, making him forget for a while that one of the two was a fake pretending to be his fiancée, and the other his real fiancée gave him the same headache. There was thoughtfulness in her eyes.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, Cao Ziyun could only do it. After all, people were under the eaves and had to bow their heads.
Li Caifeng, who was sitting on the side, saw the two people talking back and forth, and there was a hint of jealousy in her slightly narrowed eyes.
＊＊＊ ＊＊＊ bbs.fmx.cn ＊＊＊
"stop!"
After lunch, he left the side hall. On the way back to the guest house, Li Caifeng saw that there was no one around, and coquettishly sighed at the slender figure in front of him.
"What's the matter? Miss Li."
Cao Ziyun stopped and looked back with a light smile on her soft face.
"I warn you that it's best to recognize your identity, and don't try to seduce Dongfang Ao, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Li Caifeng made a threat. As for the position of the second young lady of Dongfang Mansion, she is bound to win, and no one can stand in her way.
"I don't understand what you mean. What do I need to know about myself?"
Cao Ziyun sighed helplessly, and it is conceivable that she will have to continue to face this threat in the future before the matter is found out.
"Don't act stupid over there! You impostor, I advise you to go to Dongfang proudly and surrender yourself, otherwise I'm afraid that the day the scandal occurs, you will be ugly when you are sent to the government."
Li Caifeng's repeated aggressive and warning words made Cao Ziyun, who has always been good-natured, finally unable to help but get angry.
"Miss Li, I said who is true and who is false, and we each have an idea. What you said just now is exactly what I wanted to tell you, and I advise you to act on your own."
Her temperament has always been gentle, and she doesn't like to argue with others, but in the face of the charming and arrogant Li Caifeng, if she repeatedly backs down, I'm afraid she will be appeased instead.
Originally, when the marriage was wronged at the beginning, she didn't plan to explain much, just because she wanted to break the engagement, so she was relieved when she found out that she was being bullied; but now she can't leave Dongfang Mansion, In the face of Li Caifeng, who was arrogant, her thoughts changed. Now she is willing to wait until the day when the truth is revealed, she will leave in an upright manner.
"You... if that's the case, let's see!"
Li Caifeng glared at her, bypassed her, and left angrily.
Looking at the back of her leaving angrily, Cao Ziyun suddenly felt a sense of absurdity. The person most qualified to threaten and intimidate should be her, but now she is being made difficult by others, so she can't help shaking her head and smiling bitterly.
"This girl Li is really fierce enough."
Suddenly, a crisp voice came, followed by a slender figure walking out from behind the rockery.
"Young lady."
Cao Ziyun looked at the person who suddenly appeared in surprise. When was Luo Bing'er there? Why didn't they notice
Luo Bing'er had just passed by and deliberately hid behind the rockery, just to listen to the conversation between the two, to see if they could find out the truth of the two. You must know that the bets in the mansion have intensified now. Everyone is betting on who is the real future second young lady of the Dongfang mansion. To avoid betting the wrong silver tael, she came to observe the two of them specially.
Unexpectedly, she would find Li Caifeng's arrogance, but now she sincerely hopes that she is not Dongfang Ao's real fiancee, otherwise she is very doubtful whether Dongfang Ao can bear her.
"Miss Cao, you are really good-natured. If it were me, there would be no room for people to speak loudly in front of me."
She had witnessed the conversation between the two from beginning to end. Although she had not yet been able to hear who was most suspicious, at the end, even she was confused. The final impression was that Li Caifeng had obviously repeatedly bullied Cao Ziyun.
"Young lady really likes to joke, how many people dare to speak loudly to the young lady?"
Cao Ziyun was amused by her words, but Luo Bing'er in front of her was very straightforward, and she was very happy to get along with her. She thought that maybe the two could become friends.
"Uh, you're right, even Dongfang Ling rarely hurts me." Unless she played too much.
Luo Bing'er was stunned for a moment, then she smiled sweetly, with a face of approval, and she couldn't help but feel good about her intelligence.
"If the young lady has nothing to do, I want to go back to the hospital first."
After being out for such a long time, she was afraid that Qiu Yu would be worried if she didn't see her back for a long time.
"Don't be in such a hurry to go back, anyway, you have to stay in Dongfang Mansion for a while, so let me take you around."
She fell in love with the soft and gentle her at first sight, no matter whether she was a fake or not, at the moment she just wanted to do the best of the landlord's friendship and introduce Dongfang Mansion to let her know.
"This... Then there is Mrs. Lao Shao." She could only be respectful rather than obedient.
＊＊＊ ＊＊＊ bbs.fmx.cn ＊＊＊
"Miss! Why are you still in the mood to paint here?!"
Qiu Yu hurriedly walked back from the outside, and as soon as she stepped into the west wing where they were temporarily staying, she saw Cao Ziyun focused on the drawing paper in her hand, and couldn't help but scream.
She frowned slightly and sighed softly. "Did something happen?"
"That Li Caifeng has been pestering Second Young Master all day for several days. Miss, why are you still in the mood to paint here!"
Qiu Yu was still wondering why she hadn't seen that pair of master and servant come to ask for trouble these days. I didn't expect Li Caifeng to be so clever, stalking Dongfang Ao, how could it go on like this! If Dongfang Ao fell in love with her, what would the young lady do
"Qiu Yu, do you think I look like a painting?"
Ignoring her words, he picked up the wet drawing paper and unfolded it in front of her.
"Wow! Miss... This... It's me, Miss, you really like it, can you give it to me?"
Qiu Yu's eyes widened, looking at the beautiful woman with a smile in the painting, she snatched the painting paper in surprise, and looked at herself in the painting carefully.
I have always known that the young lady is good at danqing, but she has always only painted landscapes and landscapes, but she never thought that even the people would be so lifelike.
"I was going to send it to you."
Cao Ziyun held her cheeks in her hands and smiled as she looked at the surprised Qiu Yu. Today, on a whim, she suddenly wanted to paint people, and the person she is most familiar with at the moment is Qiu Yu, so she paints at will.
"Thank you ma'am!"
Qiu Yu looked at herself in the painting happily, suddenly remembered what happened just now, quickly put the portrait aside, and said anxiously:
"Miss, did you hear what I just said?!"
He sighed helplessly, and with his slender body, he paced to the window lattice, looking at the withered trees outside the house, his soft voice was ethereal.
"Qiu Yu, you seem to have forgotten the purpose of our visit to Dongfang Mansion. Now I will stay in Dongfang Mansion, just waiting for the truth to be revealed, and then walk out of Dongfang Mansion dignifiedly; as for Miss Li and Dongfang Ao, I am not interested. ask."
"But, even so, we can't cheapen that despicable woman. I'm afraid of falling in love over time. If Dongfang Ao really likes her and doesn't care that she's a fake, then..."
Qiu Yu was so anxious that she didn't know what to say, in short, she just didn't want to take advantage of Li Caifeng.
"Isn't that good? After all, that is Dongfang Ao's own choice, and it has nothing to do with us."
There was a hint of confusion in the clear eyes looking into the distance, and her soft voice could not hear her true emotions at the moment.
"But... miss, don't you like the second young master at all?"
Qiu Yu understands Miss's feelings, but she still hopes that Miss will have happiness, even if it is short-lived.
"I only know that I don't have the qualifications to talk about emotional matters. Why bother? I won't do things that mislead others."
The slightly narrowed clear eyes flashed a sigh of relief. People like her are indeed not qualified, otherwise she would not come to break off the marriage and give up this admirable marriage.
"Miss… "
Knowing that she had brought up something that the young lady didn't want to think about, Qiu Yu secretly blamed herself. How could someone as kind as Miss... I can only blame God for being unfair.
"Stop talking about that. Now that the portrait is done, walk around with me."
Cao Ziyun forced a smile, took small steps, and left the room first.
Qiu Yu, who secretly blamed herself, hurriedly followed, not daring to say that no matter how she went, she could only hang out in the mansion. Who told her to say the wrong thing for a while, she could see that the young lady was forcing a smile. From now on, she will not dare to speak casually.

Qinghongyuan
The study, which has always been strictly forbidden to be disturbed by anyone, has always appeared two shadows in the past few days, looking carefully at the door from time to time. Due to the anger of the people in the study, he only dared to wait outside, and did not dare to knock on the door and take a step.
"Miss, how long do we have to wait? The chicken soup will be cold any longer."
Cuiyu carefully held the lacquer plate in her hand, and the soup cup placed on top, but the chicken soup that the young lady had ordered to cook early in the morning had a few tonics in it, so that Dongfang Ao could make up for it.
"Don't be noisy, no one in the Dongfang Mansion dares to go in and disturb the Second Young Master when he is in the study. How dare I knock on the door?"
In the past few days, she has been cheeky to Dongfang Ao, suppressing the fear in her heart, and ignoring his cold face, hoping that after she has been around for a long time, he can make him fall in love with her. No matter what method she uses, she must get his heart as soon as possible.
"But Miss, my hand is so sore."
She has been holding it for half an hour, and she dare not put it on the ground casually, so that her hands are shaking slightly now.
"Shut up! You have to endure it for me."
Li Caifeng was so annoyed by her that she couldn't help but growl. If her good deeds are ruined by this girl, she will never forgive her.
At this moment, the two heavy doors of the study were pulled open from the inside, and a tall figure walked out.
"What are you two arguing about here?"
Dongfang Aojun's face was tense, his black eyes faintly revealing anger, and he stared straight at the master and servant standing under the steps.
These few days coincided with the beginning of the month, and various businesses sent books to him to check. He always hated dealing with this kind of thing the most, but the elder brother threw all the things to him, causing him to speak of misery.
And these two people seem to think that he is not annoying enough. In the past few days, they have appeared when he is in the worst mood. If they don't know how to restrain themselves, don't blame him for restricting them from leaving the hospital.
"Second Young Master, I specially ordered someone to cook chicken soup, and I want to use it to replenish your body."
Seeing him, Li Caifeng quickly put on a smile and moved forward to approach him, but before he got close to his body, he quickly avoided it.
"Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it."
Indifferent black eyes glanced at her. Being disturbed by her, he had no intention of going back to look at the pile of account books.
"But… "
Li Caifeng didn't give up, and hurriedly held the soup cup in person, trying to bring it to him, but stopped under the stare of his cold and sharp black eyes.
"Don't say I didn't warn you. You are not allowed to step into the Qinghong Court in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. Also, don't follow me again, unless you want to leave Dongfang Mansion immediately."
Dongfang Ao didn't even look at the two of them, his tall figure disappeared around the corner in a blink of an eye, leaving only his warning words floating in the air.
"Miss, what to do? Are we self-defeating?"
Seeing the young lady gritting her teeth unwillingly, Cuiyu asked in a low voice timidly.
Li Caifeng glared at her, so scared that Cuiyu hurriedly lowered her head, holding the lacquer plate in her hands tightly, not daring to look up.
"What are you still doing there?! Why don't you go!"
She would not give up just like that; she was bound to win the position of the second young lady of the Oriental House. Glancing at the two closed doors behind her, her beautiful eyes showed determination, and she walked back with anger on her feet.
Cuiyu hurriedly followed behind her, murmuring uncontrollably in her mouth.
I really don't understand what the lady is thinking. Although Dongfang Mansion is the richest man in Luoyang City, Dongfang's arrogant and handsome appearance is indeed attractive, but at the same time his stern temperament is also timid.
How can they afford to provoke such a man, I hope that the young lady can figure it out as soon as possible before making a big mistake.
