Chapter 279: Almost done

The people of her husband in the Second Prince’s Mansion wrote many interesting things about the backyard of the Second Prince’s Mansion in the past few days.

The Second Prince would go to the courtyard where Ge Chuyi lived every day to sit and eat with her.

This was a treatment that even the Second Prince’s consort did not have.

It seems that she was very favored by the Second Prince.

So she was taken care of by the women in the Second Prince’s backyard.

For example, she would accidentally slip and fall into the water.

She was schemed to be embarrassed at the family banquet by another concubine with a much better family background.

She suddenly had an allergy and a red rash on her face.

Shi Qingluo sighed: “These women in the backyard are terrifying, and their methods are varied.”

Fortunately, she did not travel through time and space to the harem or the backyard of a prince or the emperor, otherwise, she would cry.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled: “This is just an appetizer. Some women in the backyard are vicious and have no bottom line at all.”

He had heard a lot in his previous life, so he was a little afraid of women.

If he hadn’t met his wife, and she opened his heart, he might still be single for the rest of his life.

Shi Qingluo leaned on Xiao Hanzheng’s shoulder: “Do you think the second prince is interested in Ge Chunyi?”

That’s why he goes to see Ge Chunyi every day and gives her rewards.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said: “No, the second prince is dealing with Ge Chuyi, deliberately making her a living target, making the women in the backyard jealous, and then dealing with her.”

“If the second prince likes someone, he will protect her, not dote on her openly.”

“When the second prince cared about Ge Chuyi before, he doted on her privately and asked his people to protect her, but he was relatively cold on the surface, so he didn’t attract the jealous hatred of the women in the backyard.”

“That’s why Ge Chuyi was able to escape many calculations in the backyard.”

It was like this in his previous life.

This time, it was obvious that the second prince was dealing with Ge Chuyi because of Ge Chunru’s matter, or because her playing hard to get was discovered, so he deliberately dealt with her.

“Look, the news says that the second prince didn’t spend the night in Ge Chuyi’s courtyard.”

“If he cared, he would stay overnight.”

He added: “Just accompanying her to dinner every day and constantly rewarding her can make other women jealous.”

Shi Qingluo thought about it and it was right. If he cared, it would not be just out of love and courtesy.

She often wanted to kiss her husband.

She had to hug him every night to sleep better.

“Then she still has a lot of trouble. It’s hard for her to come out this time.”

Then she changed the subject: “But Ge Chuyi is much more tenacious than her sister. After being bullied like this, she still chose to cling to the second prince’s consort instead of relying on the second prince’s favor to act arrogantly in the backyard.”

“Smart and rational, she is not lacking in scheming. It is indeed suitable to be thrown into the backyard to fight.”

According to the intelligence, the second prince’s consort took good care of Ge Chuyi at the beginning.

Then the Second Prince doted on Ge Chuyi so much, and the Second Prince’s consort should have felt a little uncomfortable.

But in the past few days, Ge Chuyi didn’t become arrogant, instead, she respected the Second Prince’s consort more. After seeing this, the Second Prince’s consort softened her attitude towards her.

It shows that Ge Chunyi was not only scheming but also tolerant.

Ge Chunru was too spoiled by the scumbag father before, so she didn’t have that much patience and forbearance.

The two chatted for a while, and Shi Qingluo fell asleep in Xiao Hanzheng’s arms. He hugged her, but his other hand was flipping through a book.

In addition to the accumulation of his previous life and the teaching of his teacher in this life, he was also very hardworking to pass the exam.

A few days later.

Xi Rui, Liang Youxiao, Fei Yuzhe, and Xi Rong asked Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng out for dinner.

Several people went to the largest and most luxurious restaurant in the capital, which was a place where young masters from aristocratic families liked to come.

As soon as they walked to the door, they met Qi Yiyang, who was going to the restaurant with the Fifth Prince.

Qi Yiyang looked a little unnatural when he saw Shi Qingluo.

He even wanted to pretend that he didn’t see her.

Shi Qingluo waved her hand and greeted them: “Hello, both of you look good!”

Qi Yiyang: “……”

Not good at all.

He should have checked his horoscope before going out today. He met this woman.

The main point was that Xi Rui and others were following her.

He hadn’t helped Shi Qingluo complete the promised things, so he was afraid that she would leak the things in the back mountain.

He could only force a smile: “Hello, Madam Shi, you’re in the capital!”

Shi Qingluo smiled and said: “Yes, we have been here for several days.”

“Are you going to treat us to a meal?”

She smiled: “That’s so embarrassing!”

Qi Yiyang: “……”

When did he say he wanted to treat us to a meal? This woman was still so thick-skinned.

But she said so, and he couldn’t refuse.

“Since you have come to the capital, I should treat you to a meal.”

He asked: “How about I treat you and Young Master Xiao alone tomorrow?”

Shi Qingluo smiled and said: “Okay, then we will obey your order.”

The meal was just an excuse, and the real thing was to urge him to start working.

Qi Yiyang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she didn’t make a fuss and insisted that he go with Xi Rui and others today.

Therefore, he was more polite: “Then I’ll have someone pick you up tomorrow.”

Shi Qingluo nodded, “Okay!”

Xi Rui and the others were stunned: “When did you become so familiar with this guy?”

Qi Yiyang was unhappy when he heard this: “Why can only you be familiar with her, but not me?”

He snorted: “I, Qinglou, and, her husband, are friends.”

Liang Youxiao pouted: “From the fact that you call her Madam Shi, I can tell that your relationship is not very good.”

Xi Rui said proudly: “That’s right, we all call her Qingluo.”

Qi Yiyang: “……”

It was a bit heartbreaking.

“We are not so familiar now, but we will naturally be more familiar in the future.”

He thought about it and suddenly invited Shi Qingluo: “How about having dinner together today?”

He was afraid that Xi Rui and the others would ask Shi Qingluo why she knew him and why she betrayed him.

Shi Qingluo could see what he was thinking and laughed: “Okay, as long as you are happy.”

Xi Rui raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Yiyang: “Then are you treating us as well? We are together.”

He just couldn’t stand this guy’s pretense.

Qi Yiyang sneered: “If you can eat the meal I’m treating you to, of course you can.”

Liang Youxiao put his hand on Qi Yiyang’s shoulder: “Why can’t we eat it? We are so happy that someone is treating us.”

After a while, they went for the more expensive ones.

“Let go.” Qi Yiyang waved Liang Youxiao’s hand away. This guy was too familiar and annoying.

Liang Hengyu was a little speechless. What was his cousin doing? He called these people who were not afraid of trouble.

But he didn’t say anything against it.

After all, his second brother wanted to win over these people. He wanted to see if he could make friends with them.

So the group went to a private room.

After sitting down, Liang Youxiao went for the more expensive ones.

Xi Rui also kept adding more dishes, making Qi Yiyang’s face as dark as it could be.

Finally, he couldn’t help it and looked at the two and said: “That’s enough.”

If they keep ordering like this, his wallet will be empty.

Although he was the legitimate son of the prince of the Duke’s Mansion, his monthly allowance was fixed.

Many males were in their families, and their daily expenses were limited.

He was not as rich as Liang Youxiao, nor was Xi Rui often subsidized by the Empress Dowager and the Duke’s wife.
