Chapter 298 The selfishness of weighing the pros and cons
In this carriage, Chi Yao hurriedly got into the carriage in a daze.
After sitting down, she bit her lower lip and ordered: "Go to the Grand Master's Mansion."
But after saying this, she regretted it.
It was really inappropriate to run over there for no reason. She had always been well-informed and could not come to the door without sending a greeting card in private.
She was also afraid that Wu Xuchen would be prejudiced against her. Sitting in the carriage, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. It was not her identity that made her uncomfortable, but her situation.
"Go back home."
The wheels of the car rolled, and the sound was replaced by the roar of people on the street outside. Chi Yao bit her lower lip harder and harder, as if she couldn't feel the pain, and soon she tasted blood.
She vomited and felt disgusted. She quickly wiped the blood on her lips with a handkerchief and took a tea cup from the carriage to moisten her mouth.
Wu Xuchen, no matter what, she must hold on tightly.
This idea has become more and more firm.
I don’t know how long it took, but the carriage finally stopped.
The maid who was following outside quickly stepped forward and opened the curtain. Chi Yao held up her skirt and leaned out of the carriage. While the driver was moving the footstool, she raised her eyes to see the majestic figure standing in front of the red door.
Two majestic stone lions.
There are so many people in the Chi family who cannot reach them, and so many people are afraid of them. In the past, she was most proud of them, but now they are what troubles her the most.
Ironic and ridiculous.
She got off the carriage and carried her inside.
"Girl, I'm finally back. I'm waiting for you in the study." The housekeeper of the Chi Mansion stepped forward with a smile.
When Chi Yao heard this, she smiled forcefully: "I'll go right away."
Chi Zhan had obviously been waiting for a long time. He stood with his hands behind his hands, but he closed his eyes and calculated, with a gloomy look on his face, wishing that Old Prince Qin would reach the sky.
"What's the important thing for father to find his daughter?" As soon as Chi Yao arrived, the boy outside opened the door for her, and she walked in, obviously with a bit of timidity on her face.
Chi Zhang opened his eyes suddenly and did not look back at her. He just asked, "But what did your mother say to you?"
Chi Yao paused.
Chi Zhang sneered: "You have been worried a lot these days, and you are not blind as a father."
He neither explained nor defended the incident. What he said seemed to be acquiescence.
Also, Chi Yao wouldn't believe it if Bai Bai was lying, and he didn't want to say anything to trick her into believing it.
"Your mother is now under house arrest and cannot be seen by others. I don't think you need to go in the future. You are the daughter of the Chi family. She gave birth to her in nine months of pregnancy. This will never change."
He made a guarantee, which seemed to calm Chi Yao's panic.
"You were brought up by me. You are more ambitious than your brother and more like me. You should know that you have to hide some things for a lifetime. And you definitely shouldn't be like this now."
Chi Yao's face turned pale and her body was shaky.
She swallowed: "Then cousin the prince..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted sharply by Chi Zhang.
"That's not what you should ask!"
Chi Yao trembled and when her vision became blurred, she heard Chi Zhang's tone become tender: "Your aunt wants to see you. I will go to the palace to accompany her in a few days."
Chi Yao quickly weighed the pros and cons in her heart, and she said happily: "Yes, my daughter will prepare now."
She couldn't even care about herself, so naturally she could no longer care about Chi Xingxun and Mrs. Chi.
The grace of upbringing and the love between brother and sister are important, but nothing is as important as herself. In the past, Queen Chi was willing to give her everything, so if she coaxed her a little more, would she be able to get everything?
People are all selfish.
She is afraid of losing, but will never be satisfied.

Hanlianyuan
After Qi Chuxin cut the wedding dress to her own size, she began to embroider.
Ruan Zhen held her chin. It was obvious that the piece of cloth she got last time was pressed into the bottom of the box, and Ruan Zhen did not intend to make a small coat.
The woman's eyes turned, shining with hope.
Qi Chuxin: "Sister Ruan, if you tell me what you should pay attention to on the day of the wedding, I will know it in advance."
Ruan Zhen was amused: "It's still early for you. Yi Lin is not as anxious as you."
Qi Chuxin put down what she was doing, took a small step closer, and asked in a low voice: "How about the wedding ceremony? I really have no experience."
Aunt He had never said this before at the He family, but when she was at the Qi family, she overheard a dirty conversation by a servant.
——The master took his aunt in again. Although his face was dark, the lady let her in. I saw her from a distance. The aunt was posing and walking with a twist. I felt itchy just looking at it and wanted to go forward.
Touch it.
——Who says it’s not the case? I stayed at her place all night yesterday, and my legs are weak when I go out today. I think I’m very tight in bed.
Qi Chuxin didn’t understand Kungfu in bed, never learned it, and no one taught him.
Ruan Zhen:???
She suddenly lost her sleepiness.
Ruan Zhen was angry and funny at the same time. She tapped Qi Chuxin's forehead with her white fingertips and said softly, "You are really brave. How dare you ask about such a thing?"
Qi Chuxin was blushing and honest, but also had an unconcealed sense of inferiority and said, "Young Master Yi is so good, I'm afraid he won't be dissatisfied with me."
Ruan Zhen smiled.
Obviously, Qi Chuxin's current low self-esteem was something she had also experienced before.
"If you weren't good enough, how could he go to such great lengths to bring you back?"
She laughed, and although her voice was soft, every word penetrated into Qi Chuxin's ears: "You have to remember that he wants to marry you not because of your family background, nor because of the matchmaker's words or parents' orders. No one forced him to
, all he wants is you, and you don’t need to belittle yourself.”
Qi Chuxin was stunned.
Ruan Zhen pursed her lips and raised her eyes to see An Qi not far away who was so boring that he was squatting on the ground counting ants.
Then, with his voice as low as possible, he whispered in Qi Chuxin's ear: "As for the bridal chamber... the bridal chamber is something he should worry about."
If Yi Lin couldn't do it, he would worry about not being able to satisfy Qi Chuxin.
After Ruan Zhen said this, she coughed unnaturally.
She suddenly regretted burning all Gu Huaizhi's books.
How nice it would be to save it and give it to Qi Chuxin on her wedding day.
Or, when you see Mu Jiu next time, ask for another copy from her?
Ruan Zhen was just thinking when she saw An Qi suddenly stood up and walked out of the courtyard.
Soon, a servant from the mansion led the distinguished guests. After An Qi saw the visitor clearly, he relaxed his vigilance and continued to count the ants.
The young man put on a sad face and came forward to say hello: "I beg the concubine to forgive me. In fact, Miss Liu said that the concubine and the concubine are acquaintances. I can't stop her, so I can only lead the way boldly."
Liu Nianchu looked Ruan Zhen up and down, and then twitched his lips: "You came here uninvited, why don't you treat me to a cup of tea in exchange for the cloth money you paid last time?"
Ruan Zhen stood up and asked the boy to step aside, then his eyes fell on Liu Nianchu.
