Cui Miaohe originally thought that after going through all this, it was absolutely impossible to fall asleep, but his regular breathing was like a lullaby, which made her original panic slowly calm down.
In the confusion, the silence around her was suddenly swept away by a burst of noise and chaos. She was so frightened that she immediately bounced off the couch, and her confused thoughts gradually became clearer.
Surely they are here? !
The full of panic disappeared at this moment, replaced by an inexplicable calm, she tried to move four, although it was stagnant, but it was not as weak as last night, obviously the effect of the medicine has faded.
She sat up slowly, realizing that she was not wearing an inch of thread, and her heart suddenly suffocated.
She hurriedly looked around, but as far as she could see, there was no clothes to hide, but the noise gradually moved from far to near. She hurriedly jumped to the bed, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the room, and finally found it in the depths of a drawer. a piece of clothing.
She immediately put her clothes on, and caught a glimpse of Chai Zhexia who was still in deep sleep out of the corner of her eyes. Her breath stopped, and she rushed forward in a hurry. I was furious, although I knew it would be difficult for us to escape the framed accusations of my stepmother, no matter how difficult it was, I had to try hard."
After saying that, she pulled Jin to cover the sleeping man, followed by raising her slender hands, and the gauze curtain in front of the couch slowly fell. At this critical moment, a group of people headed by Liang Yuxia broke through the door and rushed in.
Cui Miaohe took a deep breath, the tension on his face disappeared without a trace, and his calm appearance was as if all the chaos of yesterday had never happened.
"Miaohe, mother finally found you." The panic on Liang Yuxia's face was really like a mother who was worried about her disappearance. It was only now that she realized that her stepmother could act like this. Taking a deep breath, Cui Miaohe evoked a smile. She wanted to play, but she Cui Miaohe did not lose.
She stepped on a few steps, walked towards her stepmother, and raised her stepmother's hand affectionately. "Mother, why did you come here so early in the morning? It's so disturbing business, don't those Jie Jie stop it?" A small smile appeared on his face, and he looked softly with thorns.
No matter how good a plan is, there will always be a failure. As long as any seeds of doubt can be planted, it will be more beneficial to her.
"You haven't come back all night, why can't your mother be in a hurry, especially when your father was sent to Zhejiang by the emperor, if you have any mistakes at this time, how do you want me to explain to your father, I will let people search all night in the dark , I just got the news that you seem to have entered here, mother is in a hurry, how can I care if I offended someone?"
"Hey, where's the bustard?"
"Let the servants I brought keep you downstairs."
In fact, the bustard had already received her money, and of course she cooperated with her forcing her hard work.
"Mum, what's in a hurry, don't you think I'm good-natured?" Although he was anxious, the smile on Cui Miaohe's face was even brighter.
That calm smile made Liang Yuxia's heart shudder. What the hell is this girl thinking? With her uncontrollable temperament, how could she be so calm when faced with such a thing? Could it be that something happened overnight? Is there something she doesn't know about
She was suspicious, although she really wanted to realize her plan in one go, but she was hesitant because of Cui Miaohe's determined look.
But that hesitation was only for a moment, when she thought that if she couldn't get rid of Cui Miaohe's eyesore in one fell swoop, it would be difficult for her to do things in the Cui family in the future.
Now she can only bet that her calmness is actually a bluff.
The sharp eyes slid around the falling gauze tent, knowing that Chai Zhexia must be in the tent at the moment, as long as she can step forward and lift the tent, she can still force Cui Miaohe to him to achieve her goal.
"He'er, were you alone here last night?" Liang Yuxia asked while thinking about it in her heart.
"Of course not!" Knowing that her stepmother would not give up so easily, she said calmly even though her heart was beating like she was about to jump out of her chest.
"Is there anyone else on the bed?"
"Of course!" She nodded without hesitation.
"Who's on the couch?" Liang Yuxia then asked. She stepped forward and wanted to lift the curtain.
Reaching out and grabbing his stepmother's hand, Cui Miaohe still had a light smile on her face, leaned forward slightly and said softly to her ear. "Mother, you have to think clearly, you can't bear the consequences of this curtain being lifted."
Because she couldn't think of a way to escape, she could only drag it out for a moment.
Ah! She was almost fooled by this girl. If she hadn't looked at her trembling body, she would have wondered what went wrong in her plan.
She also leaned over and said in Cui Miaohe's ear. "He'er, if your mother guessed correctly, then Chai Zhexia should be inside. If you lift the curtain at this moment, he will stain your innocence. You are a daughter of a thousand gold, can you not marry him?"
"Do you really think that the dignified General Chai would let you round and flatten it so easily?"
Hearing this, Liang Yuxia was hesitant again, but then she thought again, she had already agreed with the bustard, since she promised such a big favor, the bustard probably wouldn't give up the duck that she could afford to fly. , will definitely get things done.
Besides, her people have been guarding the door for several hours, and they haven't seen Chai Zhexia go out from here, so the person inside the gauze must be him.
She looked at Cui Miaohe with a confident and determined smile, and her tone of voice was of course winning, "Woman, the most important festival, you are a big girl, and you stay in a brothel at night, wouldn't you be criticized?" She pretended to scold her daughter in front of everyone, At the same time, Liang Yuxia's hand broke free from the box and slowly stretched towards the bed tent.
"Yesterday, I just came to chat with Sister Hua Kui, but I forgot the time, so I slept here."
Looking at the decorations and the quiet environment here, the girl who owns this pavilion should not be ignorant, but she doesn't know who the master is, so she can only talk nonsense.
"When did you have a relationship with Miss Ruoban, why didn't your mother know?" I didn't think that Cui Miaohe could stand still with her for so long, Liang Yuxia's image of a loving mother was about to become unbearable.
"My mother has always reminded me that if I want to communicate, I should be a useful friend. The identity of the sister Ruoban must not be allowed by my mother, so my daughter does not dare to say it." Anyway, the lie has already begun, these hints Liang Yuxia disliked the words of the poor and the rich, so she blurted out.
"Really? That mother can borrow your recklessness and meet this famous girl like Jorana for a while."
Liang Yuxia is also a person who has seen a little of the world. Cui Miaohe intends to delay, how could she not know
Anyway, today she is determined no matter what, she wants to let Chai Cuizhen's marriage to cook mature rice, and she who doesn't want to talk nonsense with Cui Miaohe, she stepped forward and pushed Cui Miaohe away with a lot of strength.
"Mother?!" Unexpectedly, the stepmother would disregard her identity and push her away in such a savage manner. Cui Miaohe exclaimed suddenly, and it was difficult for her to stabilize her body.
Following the waves of discussion around, Cui Miaohe's eyes closed involuntarily, she wanted to escape, and a sense of powerlessness that everything was ruined also came to her mind.
"Wow, this Yingliu Pavilion is really lively in the morning."
Suddenly, a deep voice penetrated the crowd around the door and entered Cui Miaohe's ears. She was stunned and raised her head abruptly—
He... how could he be there? !
Looking at Chai Zhexia's arrogant advice, Cui Miaohe's heart fell to the ground from the half-suspended air in an instant. Although he didn't know how he changed, his appearance did save her from the dire straits. .
This was the first time she was very grateful to him, even though he still looked at her with his dark eyes half-smiling.
"you… "
Her question was about to burst out, but he took the first step to signal her to chatter with his eyes.
"Mrs. Cui brought so many people straight into the girl's boudoir early in the morning, what is this for?"
As the emperor's favorite general, he always walks with wind, not to mention his straight face, his arrogance and self-righteousness comes out spontaneously, no one dares to do it again.
"General... General, please calm down. Laoshen also stopped Mrs. Cui, but she showed her many people, and also blocked all of Laoshen's thugs and guards. If you disturb the general, please look forward to General Haihan."
The bustard, who didn't know where she was going to die, finally showed up sweating profusely. Others might not notice anything, but Cui Miaohe thought it was strange, but she couldn't tell.
"It's time to ask Mrs. Cui why it disturbs people's dreams."
"I... come to find my daughter."
"Come to the Goulan Courtyard to look for her daughter, is Mrs. Cui deliberately not wanting her daughter's reputation?"
Chai Zhexia's light two or three sentences pointed out the contradiction between mother and daughter, and also attracted the whispers of everyone.
"I... just worried. Miao He didn't return overnight. I thought she had seen something, but she was really anxious, so she didn't act properly. I hope the general will forgive me."
Chai Zhexia listened, and the smile on her face meant something, which made Liang Yuxia's heart go straight.
"Then Mrs. Cui is very good at finding her, so she just stabbed straight into Miss Ruoban's boudoir. Could it be that Mrs. Cui thought it was Miss Ruoban who forcibly kidnapped Miss Cui?"
"I… "
Don't look at Chai Zhexia's irritable temperament, if he calms down, the threatening aura will make people tense up all over. Swept away by his cold eyes, Liang Yuxia, who was still trying to calm down, panicked. .
"Yesterday, I invited Miss Miaohe and Miss Ruoban to dine and taste wine together. I didn't notice the time and it was too late, and I met Miss Cui like the old girl." Miss Potui went back alone in danger, so she stayed overnight. Mrs. Cui's reckless behavior put Miaohe girl in a dilemma. "
"General Chai, I... am I just worried?"
Trying to squeeze out a stiff smile, Liang Yuxia didn't have the aggressiveness just now, she even glanced at Cui Miaohe unconsciously, hoping that she would say something for herself.
Seeing the stepmother's begging eyes, Cui Miaohe couldn't help feeling happy. After all, she still remembered how she was tossed yesterday, so she pursed her lips and said nothing for a long time, until she saw the face of the stepmother. It was pale, and he didn't want to make things known to everyone, which made his father far away in Zhejiang worried, so he said. "General Chai, I think the stepmother was also impatient for a while, so she lost her manners. You have a lot of people, so don't bother with her."
"Since Miss Cui has spoken, there is no reason for this general to refuse."
Anyone with ears could hear the many guards in his words, and when he looked at the bustard, she gave him a wink, and the bustard immediately dismissed the crowd of onlookers.
Although there was no ambiguity to be looked at, even if it was just the commotion just now, Cui Miaohe knew that within a short time, rumors about her would spread in the streets.
An official daughter even set foot in the Fengyue place and befriended Hua Niang, I am afraid that no big family will dare to match her.
Although there was a touch of loss in his heart, but this... In fact, it was good, just took the opportunity to break the stepmother's thoughts of marrying her into the Chai family.
Yu Yu's dark fragrance sneaked into her nose faintly, she swept away the melancholy thoughts just now, and a bright smile bloomed on her flawless face.
"Just now, thank you General Chai for rescuing the siege, but... how on earth did you do it?"
Although she escaped the catastrophe, Cui Miaohe was still full of questions. She was sure that he was still sleeping and was hidden in the tent, so why did he appear outside the door
"Actually, I knew about your stepmother's trick yesterday."
For her doubts, he was honest and right, and his upright and unflinching attitude made her change his mind about him.
"When your stepmother came to look for the bustard, I overheard her plan, but I was angry at your rejection at that time, so I didn't want to talk to you, so I let the bustard hit the snake and accept it with a stick. For her money, I want her to have a taste of the bitter fruit of her scheming against me, but later... Seeing that you were really brought in, I couldn't bear it anymore, so..."
In fact, maybe he shouldn't have said that making her grateful will make his next plan smoother, but when he thinks that she knows the difficulties, but she still tries her best to protect him and prevent him from being abused. People use that nasty design.
This was a secret that only his friends and the emperor knew, but for some reason, he told her without hesitation.
In the imperial court, he was a general in Mingli, and he led troops to fight, and he was in no position to benefit, but secretly he was also responsible for providing information for the emperor Moruo, and the mixed dragon and snake in Yingliu Pavilion was the best source of information.
"So to say that my stepmother found the bustard here to plot against you together is simply asking for a dead end!"
Hearing this, Cui Miaohe finally came to a realization, and a pleasant feeling filled his heart.
It turned out that this seemingly burly man had such a delicate mind, and it was thanks to his secret hand that he did not fall into a dilemma.
In my mind, I couldn't help but recall the pale face of the stepmother just now, and a burst of happiness suddenly flooded into my heart.
"You're right!" She was a smart girl who knew everything,
Chai Zhexia looked at her with a hint of playfulness, this girl always has an unexpected performance.
"But even so, how did you come in from the outside? When I put down the tent, you were still lying on the couch and slumbering." Like a student who is desperate for knowledge, she hurriedly reconsidered her heart. The question of the head was spoken.
With a long smile, Chai Zhexia took her hand naturally, brought her to the side of the couch, and lifted the gauze tent, revealing a flat soft bed.
"Hey, it's no different!" Shui Ling's eyes were wide open, full of curiosity, he didn't notice his movements at all, he just looked left and right on the couch, but he couldn't see it after looking at it for a long time. A clue.
Only then did she look up at Chai Zhexia, only to see his handsome face smiling, she turned her right hand towards the top of the couch, and the original couch moved slowly to the left and right, the size was just enough to accommodate one person .
"Ah... It turns out..." Cui Miaohe was stunned as she didn't expect that there was such an ingenious mechanism in the girl's house.
"Yeah, it's all thanks to Master, but don't be too grateful to him. I think he's having a good time in this matter."
The words just fell, and a woman with a lazy and charming look all over her body walked in generously.
Cui Miaohe's mind was also dexterous, and he immediately recognized that this girl was the owner of the house, the famous Hua Kui Ruoban girl.
"Last night there was a lot of commotion, Bo is disturbing the girl Ruoban, Miaohe is here to compensate you."
As Cui Miaohe said that, she gave a serious salute, which made the girl Ruoban, who has always been cold to others, fall in love.
The girls raised in the boudoir are usually taught by the poetry and books of etiquette, and most of them have contempt for these firework girls, but in Cui Miaohe's sincere and innocent eyes, she could not see the slightest contempt.
"It turns out that this is the girl who made General Chai take a lot of time to protect her. General is really good at seeing."
Staying in this red courtyard leaning on the railing, she had never seen anyone, but she knew Cui Miaohe at first sight. It was extremely rare that she stepped forward a few steps, took her hand and sat down at the table next to her. The two women were there. When he started talking, he talked for more than an hour, and all he said were some interesting anecdotes of Chai Zhexia.
When it came to being interesting, the two girls laughed and watched, Chai Zhexia was waiting to watch, not rushing, and her eyes were all focused on Cui Miaohe, although it was slightly pale, but she still smiled beautifully. on the face...
There was still a faint smile on her face, Cui Miaohe took a step and followed Chai Zhexia out of Yingliu Pavilion. As soon as she stepped out of the gate, she suddenly stopped, shouted, and then turned towards him. Made a big bow.
"Thank you very much today. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my stepmother's conspiracy and tricks would have succeeded." Thinking of his own situation, cold sweat broke out on Cui Miaohe's back.
Her unexpected behavior once again made Chai Zhexia look at her with admiration. Even if others didn't know it, he knew very well in his heart that if he really wanted to say it seriously, the scene last night alone had ruined her innocence.
But not only did she not care, she just thought twice about defending him, and now she sincerely thanks him.
Chai Zhexia, who has always had no good comments on women, can't help but draw a lot of attention to her.
"You don't care about the consequences of what happened today?"
Even if there is no rape in the bed today, it will damage her boudoir reputation to some extent. After all, the daughter of a big family will be involved with a famous prostitute.
Hearing him talk about this matter, Cui Miaohe's smiling eyes dimmed, but then he cheered up and said. "It's better to hurt her boudoir reputation. Anyway, I'm impatient to be sold by her a second time. Once she loses her boudoir honor, I'll see where she goes to find a good buyer."
"You... really think so?"
Should I say she's naive? Although this incident broke Liang Yuxia's evil thoughts, didn't it also break her life
"Thinking like this... It's good." There was a lot of helplessness in that tone. She didn't seem innocent on the surface, but the situation was beyond her control!
If even the closest girl could betray her, then the entire Cui Mansion would have been secretly controlled by her stepmother.
It's not a good thing to tarnish her reputation, but it can make her stop thinking about selling her for a while.
Looking at Chai Zhexia's faintly caring face, she actually felt heavy in her heart, but it was always her own problem, how could it involve others.
It was a great virtue that he could save her from suffering.
If she believed in the rumors at all before, she has long since disbelieved it.
Such a man can never do that kind of outrageous thing, those rumors are just rumors!
"General Chai, looking at this time, it's time to go back!"
Although she knew that she would go back, her stepmother would not let her go easily, but it was her home after all. If it was in the past, at least two sisters, Ji Junyin and Che Yuanyu, could rely on them. The uncle angered the emperor, his house was raided, and the Ji family was more or less implicated, so how could she bother again? Hate only hate that she is not a man, otherwise, even if she is in all corners of the world, she will be able to travel with her mind.
"Aren't you afraid that if you go back, Madam Cui will trouble you again?"
"Don't worry, General, don't look at my young age, I'm not a fuel-efficient lamp."
This boastful remark made Chai Zhexia laugh out of nowhere. If it wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp, it would be a big mistake if someone could bring it here
Just looking at the sly smile on her face, and thinking about the courage she knew she couldn't do just now, he knew in his heart that her courage was by no means comparable to that of ordinary girls.
If it was her... It was originally an idea to hit a duck on the shelves, but somehow it suddenly felt feasible.
Looking at her unhesitating and firm steps, Chai Zhexia quickly made a circle in her heart, and then her thin lips suddenly opened and closed, looking at her back and said. "I'll take you back so that Mrs. Cui doesn't embarrass you."
"No need..." Facing his enthusiasm, Cui Miaohe was a little overwhelmed. After seeing him twice, she never thought he was such a warm person. What happened now
"It's not in the way, it's just a walk." Chai Zhexia looked at her refusal and grabbed her arm involuntarily, so that she could only follow him.
"General Chai, it's not good for us to behave like this."
There are many people on the street. Obviously, I managed to get around that pit with difficulty, but I really don't think "an want to jump down to another pit in a hurry, weigh people's hearts, like people's wishes!
"You just didn't even care about your own boudoir reputation, and it's not funny that you're only here now." Seeing her awkward and rigid appearance, Chai Zhexia couldn't help laughing.
"I just ignored it just now because I didn't want you to be hurt. Now that I have a choice, why jump into the hole myself?"
For his teasing, Cui Miaohe was a little unconvinced, her cheeks bulged, and she was also dyed a bit bright red, a kind of young daughter's delicate attitude showed especially.
"Little girl, you are quite sincere." Under her stare, although Chai Zhexia let go of her hand in a kind manner, her eyes couldn't move her cute face away.
When he was in the officialdom, he saw many people with lotus, virtual, and snake tongues. Cui Miaohe's performance really gave him a refreshing feeling. Moreover, she was not as delicate as the ordinary daughter of an official family, which made him even more impressed.
Walking on the street, Chai Zhexia couldn't help but say. "Little girl, how about we have a deal?"
"What deal?" She didn't think there would be any deal with him, she should be free, after all, she was a child at heart. The mind has long been attracted by the row of red and yellow snacks on the roadside.
"Is it okay if I ask someone to come to your house and talk about a matchmaker?"
For a moment, the stunned foolishness wiped away the original beauty and beauty, Cui Miaohe opened his lips and obviously couldn't believe what he heard. "You, you... what did you say?!"
"I mean, this happened today, and it is impossible for the big family in this city to accept you as their daughter-in-law in a short time, so why don't you marry me."
"You're crazy!" She glared at him and could only spit out those words for a long time.
She managed to escape, but now she is willing to take the initiative to send her to death. From her point of view, Chai Zhexia, the general, is not as good as rumored, and she can say such stupid words.
"I need a daughter-in-law to stop my mother from madly forcing me to marry a wife, and since you're not happy in the Cui family, why don't you come to the general's mansion to live a comfortable life. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"
Originally, Ju Susheng suggested that he use deception, but unfortunately he has always been heroic, and this kind of unrighteous approach is not in line with his character, so he decided to ask her straight to the point, this girl is worthy of his treatment.
No, of course it's a big bad!
"Don't be joking!" Cui Miaohe scolded softly as he rolled his eyes.
Although she didn't hate him as much as she used to get along these two times, it was one thing not to hate him, and another thing to get married.
He is a dignified general, and she is just the daughter of a sesame official, and there is a stepmother who is watching and watching.
"I'm not kidding!" He stared at her intently and earnestly. When he met her twice, he knew that this woman was a good woman. Although she looked innocent on the outside, she was quite knowledgeable at critical moments.
"You must have drank too much last night, and you are still drunk to say such silly things. I don't need you to send me back. You should go back to the house and have a good rest!"
Looking at his eyes, there was a burst of coldness on her back. She instinctively wanted to run away, but her movements did not have the agility of Chai Zhexia, a martial arts practitioner. She was caught before she ran two steps. back collar.
"I said that if I want to send you home, I will send you home. As for my proposal, I will not force you for the time being. You can think about it." The reason is that he is not in a hurry anyway, it is fine to wait a little longer.
"I… "
Cui Miaohe opened her mouth to say that she didn't even have to think about his proposal, but she glanced at him. I don't know what to do in my heart, and I can't speak.
"I'll take you back." Afraid that she would run away in a hurry, his grip on her collar loosened, but he didn't really let go.
"You're a general, so you should be very busy. I can do the little things like going home by myself."
Originally, I thought it would be okay to let him send it off, but his words just now really scared her, so now she wants to stay far away from him, so as not to get into big trouble when she gets it.
"I'm not busy!" With a slight smile on the resolute face, Chai Zhexia said lightly, but there was a touch of warm concern in the bottom of her eyes.
Cui Miaohe thought to herself that the stepmother almost made a big mistake today, she should stop for a while, so she still smiled politely and declined, "General really doesn't need to be so troublesome, if military affairs are really not busy, it's better Hurry up and pick a daughter-in-law for yourself, so that Madam Chai can feel at ease."
These words made the blue veins on Chai Zhexia's forehead jump unexpectedly. Of course he understood that she was dodging, but how could he give up so easily
"But your stepmother..." He thought about it and was still worried, even though he knew it wasn't his business, he still wanted to take care of her.
"It's alright, after this incident, I will be more careful. In fact, when I was young, I lost my trust. When my stepmother first entered the mansion, she treated me well. For a while, the name of virtuous virtue was passed down in the village. If it weren't for these years, my sister Yun When Xiu Jian is getting older, she is afraid that my presence will affect her finding a good family, and as I get older, I will covet the wealth of the family, so that's why she is always looking at me and designing me." Speaking of this, she suddenly sighed. Dayton, I am also very apologetic in my heart.
As the saying goes, if you don't do it for yourself, you will be destroyed. The stepmother's calculations are understandable, but you should never, never use drugs and other nasty means to deal with her.
She is not benevolent, so why should she be righteous.
The original intention of saying this was to tell him that he didn't have to worry too much about her, but when she talked about it, she couldn't help but sink.
"Since that's the case, you shouldn't use my strength. Once I send you back, she will at least take care of my face in her actions in the future." He was a general anyway, forgive that Liang Yuxia didn't dare to offend him easily.
"The general shouldn't have been involved in this mess. The general is kind, and the little girl has taken the lead. The general should go back quickly!"
Although her thoughts on Chai Zhexia have changed, but when she thinks of her stepmother's tiger vision, she doesn't want her to be caught any more, so she still refuses.
Besides, both of them can be regarded as notorious people now, and if they are too close, they will inevitably fall into place.
The three became a tiger, she didn't want to escape today, and soon she was hit by rumors and became his wife helplessly.
"You... do you really want to keep people from thousands of miles away?"
He never knew how to care about others in his life, especially women. She didn't know what to do to the extreme. He was not a good-natured person. He was rejected by her repeatedly, and he couldn't hold back his displeasure. Also go to the middle.
"General Chai, take care." Cui Miaohe seemed to turn a blind eye to his anger, just turned around to look at him Yifu, and left on his own. Looking at her gradually disappearing figure, Chai Zhexia couldn't help but feel a little awkward. He has never been a nosy, but the first time he intervened, he actually put his hot face on someone's cold ass. That's all, anyway, there are so many girls, even if you really want to find a prevarication mother, it may not really be her!
