Chu Wanxiang's cheeks were hot and she glared at him: "Stop messing around and go find your friend quickly to save her from waiting too long."

Chu Mohan followed the instructions and left the restaurant, and Chu Wanxiang also left the restaurant and wandered around the street. Suddenly she happened to see an acquaintance, so she hurriedly hid and observed from a distance.

A young woman held the arm of a middle-aged man and was walking forward slowly. The man's steps were slow and he looked very weak. The woman supported him considerately and said softly: "Husband, how are you feeling today?"

The situation doesn’t seem to be very good, why don’t we go back and rest.”

The man smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Chu Wanxiang watched the two people walking away and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. She looked so much like this young woman that they were carved from the same mold.

The young woman's name is Qin Ruoxue, and she is the only legitimate daughter of the then Prime Minister Qin Guodong. Her parents, brother and sister-in-law are all Confucian scholars, so Qin Ruoxue has received a good education since she was a child. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and song, and has a gentle and gentle personality.

She is loved by the people in the capital. She and Chu Mohan met two years ago. By chance, the two had a good conversation. Chu Mohan admired her talent and learning, and Qin Ruoxue admired his heroic appearance. The two promised each other for life.

This time Chu Mohan went to the palace to attend a banquet. It happened that Qin Ruoxue was taking a break, so she made an appointment with Chu Mohan to go out in the countryside.

Chu Mohan fell in love with her at first sight and immediately engaged her to marry her.

After Chu Mohan got married, Chu Wanxiang still couldn't hide her disappointment every time she thought about it. She and Chu Mohan had been married for three months, and they still had wedding ceremonies on New Year's Eve, but it was a pity...

Thinking of this, Chu Wanxiang smiled bitterly to himself and looked up at the sky. Today is New Year's Eve. I wonder where he is. Has he returned safely?

"What are you looking at?"

A man's mellow voice suddenly came to his ears. Chu Wanxiang suddenly came back to his senses, saw Mo Han's face clearly, and was startled: "You, when did you come back!"

Chu Mohan stared at her with a smile: "You just came back not long ago, are you in a daze?"

"Hmm." Chu Wanxiang scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm worried... worried about your safety. I'm afraid that those assassins are still lurking nearby, and I want to see if there is any opportunity to take advantage of you."

"I will protect myself." Chu Mohan held her hand, "Let's go back."

Chu Wanxiang nodded.

After returning to the General's Mansion, Chu Wanxiang asked the maid to prepare hot water. After taking a bath and washing up, he fell on the bed and fell asleep.

In her dream, Chu Mohan suddenly appeared in front of her and stretched out his hands to her. Chu Wanxiang greeted her happily, but she fell into the cold lake. Chu Mohan nervously held her and swam to the shore.

, Chu Wanxiang struggled hard and finally drowned in the lake.

Chu Wanxiang woke up with a start, soaked to the skin, and his chest heaved violently.

She breathed for a moment, patted her face to wake herself up, then turned over and sat down, put on her cloak and walked outside the house.

"Why do you get up so early, madam?" Qiu Shuang asked.

"Go to the back mountain to practice swordsmanship." Chu Wanxiang said as he walked, "It's such a cold day, don't freeze your body."

She practiced swordsmanship in the back mountain for half an hour before going back home and changing into a set of light clothes.

"Madam, where are you going?"

"Go to Shen's Mansion to visit my aunt."

"My servant will do your makeup."

Chu Wanxiang sat down in front of the bronze mirror.

Qiu Shuang tied up her black hair, inserted a hairpin, and asked: "Madam, is this hairpin pretty?"

Chu Wanxiang looked in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, let's use it."

The two of them took a sedan to the Shen Mansion. Chu Wanxiang specifically asked the driver to take a long detour, not wanting to meet Chu Mohan halfway.

"What are you doing in Shen's Mansion?" Chu Mohan asked in surprise.

"I'm going to see my aunt. She's sick."

When Chu Mohan heard this, he remained silent.

The two continued to walk forward, and Chu Wanxiang suddenly said: "Where are you going?"

"I want to go to a drugstore to buy something."...

"Then go quickly, don't delay."

"Um."

Chu Mohan

He left alone, walked to the end of an alley, stopped, looked back at the carriage going away, and a sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The carriage stopped at the door of Shen Mansion. Chu Wanxiang poked his head out of the carriage window: "I'm here."

"Go in." Chu Mohan said, "I'll be here later."

"Okay." Chu Wanxiang withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked in.

The housekeeper of the Shen Mansion came to greet him personally: "Madam, the old lady heard that you are here and specially invites you to the main hall for a cup of tea."

Chu Wanxiang followed the housekeeper to the main hall. The old lady had been waiting inside for a long time. When she saw Chu Wanxiang, she waved kindly: "Wanxiang is here, come and sit down. You child is getting more and more beautiful as you grow."

Chu Wanxiang walked over and saluted, and the old lady took her hand to greet her. She also praised her new dress and asked her to wear more.

Chu Wanxiang smiled and said, "I just bought it casually. It's not as exquisite or gorgeous as my sister's clothes."

"You are still so humble." The old lady held her hand and sighed, "It is also my fault that I have had no children and no grandchildren in my life. I have neglected you two sisters and made you feel wronged. I hope you can I understand, and I hope Mo Han can take good care of you."

Chu Wanxiang smiled gently: "Grandma, don't worry, I understand that everything is what I should do, and I will never let grandma worry."

"As long as you are sensible."

The old lady asked again: "Why is Mohan still here today?"

"I went to see him just now. He had something urgent to do and left. He said he would come back later to pay New Year's greetings to my grandmother."

"Oh." The old lady frowned, "What's urgent for him? It's New Year's Eve, what else is urgent?"

Chu Wanxiang said: "I don't know much about his personal affairs."

The old lady remembered something: "Today is the Laba Festival. This kid, Mohan, even forgot to bring Laba porridge. I, the grandmother, won't blame him."

Chu Wanxiang lowered his eyes and smiled: "I think he is too busy."

"Yes." The old lady nodded, "He has been traveling around all this time and has not even returned home. Although I dare not interfere in his marriage, I can't just watch him waste his life."

"Grandma," Chu Wanxiang consoled her, "the crown prince is a talented person, and he will definitely find a suitable husband."

The old lady shook her head: "It's time for a man to get married and a woman to get married soon. He hasn't married a concubine for a long time, so it's inevitable that people will gossip about him. I see that many rich ladies in the capital are eyeing Mo Han, but it's a pity that Mo Han doesn't like them. .”

Chu Wanxiang thought to herself: The old lady is telling the truth. Chu Mohan is indeed very good and there are many girls who like him. But you can't force this kind of thing.

"Don't worry too much." The old lady said, "I believe you can heal his leg and make him return to normal."

Chu Wanxiang smiled: "I believe in myself too." After a pause, she tentatively said, "Grandma, is Mo Han's leg really difficult to cure?"

The old lady's face changed: "You kid, you are asking me about this kind of thing. Mo Han doesn't want to tell you, let alone me."
