MTL - After Giving Way To My Husband’s Sweetheart-Chapter 157 Embarrassed
In autumn, the weather is getting cooler day by day. After an autumn rain, the leaves on the trees have been knocked down one after another. In front of the Sima Mansion, on the bluestone floor soaked with rain, several servants are cleaning hard with brooms. Thick remaining leaves.
Sima Chao led the horse back. The tall horse was covered in mud and water, so dirty that it was almost impossible to see its true colors. Sima Chao was also in a mess, with a look of fatigue on his face. Yingfeng who was following him was not much better either. His body and face were also in the same miserable state.
Love disappeared, and he went out of the city to look for her in desperation. He only took Yingfeng with him. It was a long way to Fancheng. The two of them went alone and encountered several waves of gangsters halfway through. Although the two of them were very skilled, they could not stop the gangsters. After constant harassment and exploitation, not only was there no trace of Love, but all the valuables they had on them were stolen by the gangsters, leaving only the two of them and returned in embarrassment.
Sima Chaochao has never been so angry even in his old age.
He entered the house and threw the horse rein to the young man with a sullen face. The young man froze on the spot. When he caught the horse rein, he looked at Sima Chao blankly, frowned and said in confusion: "You are, The eldest son?"
Not only the boy waiting at the door was puzzled, but also the servants sweeping in front of the door stopped what they were doing when they saw Sima Chao's appearance, and couldn't help but look at him quietly.
The eldest son of the Sima Mansion, who was always well-dressed and majestic, suddenly appeared in this embarrassed state. No matter who he was, everyone was curious.
Sima Chao knew Sima Rui's thoughts well. He twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a sneer: "Cousin, you must not forget that the person Afu really loves is me. No matter how we make trouble, she It’s all mine in the end.”
The two cousins are of the same age and grew up under the care of the Dowager. They have a deep affection and a tacit understanding in doing things. Their affection is unmatched by other brothers. Sima Chao glanced at Sima Rui and asked: "Why do you care about this?" He also joked: "Maybe you are afraid that I will lose it."
Sima Chao looked at Sima Rui, with clear displeasure in his eyes, and snorted coldly: "What do you mean by this?"
Sima left the palace gate, got on his horse, and headed straight for the imperial city. When Sima Rui saw him, he first asked: "Where has my cousin been these days?"
"No." Sima Chao's face was clear, and he deliberately pretended to be relaxed, and replied with a smile: "As the saying goes, misfortunes bring blessings. Since Afu experienced the villain's assassination last time, the relationship between the two of us now is unknown. She is much better than before, I have decided that when I find a good time, I will marry her and officially become my wife."
Sima Chao thought his father was looking for him for political reasons, but when he heard Grandma Qi say that she wanted to choose a wife for him, his expression darkened again.
Even though he defeated Sima Rui, Sima Chao didn't feel at ease. He stood at the window, looking at the dark sky, and all that came to his mind was Love's figure.
Sima Chao said: "She is my woman, how I treat her has nothing to do with you?"
The two brothers looked at each other, their eyes flashing with blazing anger.
Sima Chao felt empty in his heart, and a line of clear tears left the corner of his eyes. He stood alone for a while, then sighed heavily, raised his hand to wipe his face, and called his subordinates.
Sima Chao washed up and changed his clothes. He was about to go to see his father when an entourage came in to report that Sima Rui was anxious to see him.
Sima Chao lost his temper at the door and angrily walked to his Qingsong Garden.
Haven't he treated her well enough?
Sima Chao did not answer his question, but asked: "Is there peace in the palace these days?"
Sima Rui understood it before Sima Chao finished speaking. He nodded to him tacitly and whispered: "This is exactly what the Queen Mother meant, so I am anxious to find my cousin to discuss it."
Everyone quickly averted their eyes and did not dare to overstep their bounds.
Seventy-nine. One-three-four. One-eight-five. Seventy-five
He obviously really loves her, but why is she always so ruthless to him?
Sima Chao glanced at the empty seat. He felt desolate in his heart, but he had always been a man of profound knowledge. Even if he had something on his mind, he could control himself very well.
Sima Chao's heartbreaking words finally made Sima Rui shut his mouth. His eyes dimmed and he walked away lonely.
Finally, when Sima Chao returned, Grandma Qi hurriedly told Sima Zhengde that he was anxiously looking for him.
He met Sima Chao's gaze and said word by word: "I just hope you can treat Afu kindly. If you really like her, you should protect her and don't let her get hurt again and again." .”
"An assassin has just appeared in the palace, and the Queen Mother wants to go out?" Sima Chao murmured, and then asked: "Does the Queen Mother want to..."
Sima Rui is currently the deputy envoy of the Yulin Guards and is directly under Sima Chao.
Sima Rui replied: "The Queen Mother has just issued an order to go to Jinshan Temple to offer incense at the beginning of next month."
Sima Rui twitched the corners of his lips: "It would be great to congratulate my cousin if he can get what he wants." He paused and then said: "I just heard from my grandmother that my uncle is currently arranging for my cousin's marriage. She is a noble lady."
Sima Rui glanced at his expression and couldn't help but ask, "Where have you been these past few days?"
Sima Rui knew that Love had disappeared again. Although he didn't know why she left again, Sima Rui guessed that she must have something to do with Sima Chao, and Sima Rui couldn't see Love being bad.
Sima Chao smiled faintly: "I'm the best at asking you to enter the urn."
After entering the courtyard, the servants, women and servants in the courtyard were also stunned by his appearance. However, before everyone could recover from the surprise, they were frightened back by Sima Chao's sharp eyes.
Sima Chao was already suffocating in his heart, but now that everyone was looking at him, he sullenly shouted angrily: "What are you looking at! If you dare to look at me again, I will kill you with one sword."
After a while, several of his deputy envoys were in place, except Sima Rui.
Seeing that he was talking about him, Sima Rui asked directly: "Are you having trouble with your cousin from the Luo family again?"
The Queen Mother's departure from the palace was a big event, not to mention the matter of asking the king to enter the urn to catch the assassin secretly. Sima Chao made careful arrangements and discussed with several subordinates until midnight.
After being out for a few days, Sima Chao's desk was piled with a lot of urgent government affairs. After everyone dispersed, he did not go back to the camp to rest. Instead, he sat in front of the desk and got busy.
He flipped through several memorials and made some comments. When he picked up another one, Love's voice came into his mind unconsciously. Sima Chao picked up the tea cup on the desk and raised his head to drink the cup. After drinking the already cold tea in one gulp, he forced himself to calm down and turned his attention to the political affairs he was busy with. But after a while, he uncontrollably missed Love again.
