MTL - After Giving Way To My Husband’s Sweetheart-Chapter 145 Frank
Sima Zhengren went to the study by himself and took care of some political affairs. When it was time for dinner, he saw that his wife had no one to invite him. He felt depressed and ate alone in the study.
Luo was gentle and virtuous, and had always been considerate and obedient to him. Why did she suddenly become like this?
He has straightened her up. She is the wife of the Sima family. This is what many women dream of. She should be happy and even be grateful to herself.
Sima Zhengren was a little confused about his wife's neglect.
He is not a delicate husband, and he never cared about his wife's mood in the past, but Luo Shi is acting like this now, and for some reason, it actually makes him feel very irritable.
Because he was in a bad mood, Sima Zhengren didn't even bother to eat dinner. He put down his jade chopsticks, got up and left the study, and went straight to Luo's main courtyard.
He strolled to the main courtyard and saw that the courtyard door was closed. Sima Zhengren was suspicious. He raised his hand and pushed the courtyard door, only to find that it was locked.
Sima Zhengren frowned, raised his hand and patted the door panel. After a while, a servant girl came out. Sima Zhengren heard the footsteps and stopped quickly. He stood outside the door, with a thick door through the door panel. He asked in a loud voice: "It was just wiped out, why did you lock the door so early?"
The two of them entered the room while talking. Sima Chao sat down on the chair, looked at Love, and asked, "Do you know who was behind the assassination of the Queen Mother?"
After saying that, he turned around and left without a trace of hesitation.
"It's just what I want if he doesn't come." Luo Shi stroked his chest gently and said something from his heart.
Love smiled faintly and replied: "Are you mistaken? Is it really Mr. Zhao?"
Thinking of her husband's ruthlessness in demoting her as a concubine, Luo couldn't help but feel sad again. She tried the corners of her eyes with a brocade handkerchief and said sadly: "That's all, it doesn't matter if we don't mention these things, she will go on the Northern Expedition in a while. It will take at least a year and a half to go away. Once he leaves, I will be clean."
As soon as Sima Zhengren heard this, his face immediately darkened.
"Silly girl!" Sima Chao scratched the tip of Love's nose with his doting fingers and said, "I saw it with my own eyes, how can I be wrong? This Zhao Yian seems to have a lot of background. Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but he can also know the gods and ghosts. Inserting people into the inner palace without realizing it shows that he still has some abilities."
As the Queen Mother, all the food and drinks are strictly controlled. Ning'er is a palace actress who can play the piano for the Queen Mother, but she has no chance to get close to the Queen Mother's food. It is incredible that she can poison her.
Sima Zhengren stood outside the door, staring at the dark door panel. He calmed down, suppressed his anger, and said coldly to the maid inside the door: "Just tell Madam that I will never disturb her again. She must never regret it."
The servant girl inside the door was frightened when she heard this. After she opened the crack in the door and saw the person walking away, she hurriedly entered the main room and reported everything to Luo Shi.
He is not stupid either. Luo Shi is obviously avoiding him.
With the moon rising above the willow trees, he rode out of the imperial city and headed straight for Love's residence.
Love winked at her: "Don't panic, it will be the same as before. Don't let him see any flaws."
Seeing Sima Chao coming, Lan Tian couldn't help but look panicked. Love hinted at her to calm down with his eyes, and whispered: "Is the cellar tightly closed?"
Sima Chao glanced at Love's expression and saw her calm attitude, guessing that she really didn't know anything about it.
Before their decline, the Luo family was one of the most prominent families in the capital, and the Sima family was an upstart that the court relied heavily on. Therefore, the marriage between the Luo family and Sima Zhengren was based on an imperial decree.
He came over and took Love's hand, asking ambiguously: "I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you miss me?"
Seventy-nine. One-three-four. One-eight-five. Seventy-five
Lov grabbed her concern and asked: "I just want to know how Ning'er put the poison into the Queen Mother's tea bowl."
He pulled the person beside him and told her: "The person behind the scenes is actually Zhao Yian."
After hearing Luo's words, Mammy looked around quickly and subconsciously, then lowered her voice and said: "Madam, please be careful what you say." She also advised: "It's not like you don't know the general's temper. I'm just afraid you'll make him angry like this. If you kill him, it will be detrimental to you."
Love pretended to be surprised, looked at Sima Chao and asked: "How could it be him? He is just a businessman, what reason would he have to assassinate the Queen Mother?"
No one in this world has ever dared to do this to him, especially a woman.
Sima Zhengren felt his anger rising up. He raised his foot and was about to kick open the courtyard door. When his boot hit the door panel, his wife's slightly frowning eyebrows and sullen expression suddenly appeared in his mind. In front of him, he actually managed to hold it back.
Love's eyes moved slightly, then smiled faintly, and replied: "How can I know these secrets if I don't leave the door all day long?"
Luo Shi snorted coldly and replied: "What's the point of rekindling the old relationship? In the past, he and I didn't have a good relationship. If it wasn't for the sacred decree, how could my father and brother marry me to such a rough martial artist?"
Sima Chao got off his horse and walked straight towards Love. When he saw his beloved, his face, which had been gloomy for several days, finally showed a smile.
Sima Chao looked at Love and said to her in the tone of an adult lecturing a child: "I told you before, don't trust others. You used to be disobedient, but now you can see clearly that some people He is someone who shows off a false mask to others.”
The servant woman quickly and respectfully replied: "Reporting to the general, Madam, she was not feeling well and went to bed early. She was worried that others would disturb the peace, so she locked the door."
Love smiled faintly and replied: "I know you are busy these days."
Luo Shi naturally understood what her mama said. She sighed slightly and replied: "Although he and I were not in love in the past, we treated each other with respect and were treated as guests. Now that I have experienced this, I can clearly see his ruthlessness." Indifferent, I really can’t accept him anymore. Staying with him is like being sentenced to death.”
Sima Chao was determined to trap Zhao Yi'an, but he set traps several times in a row, but was cunningly escaped by the other party. Sima Chao was extremely annoyed about this. Sima Chao has a strong desire for control, and he hates surprises like this that go beyond his own prediction.
Although Luo Shi resented her husband, her awe for Sima Zhengren had become deeply ingrained in her heart over the years. When she heard that her husband was angry outside the door, she felt a little panicked, but it passed after just a moment.
Lantian nodded vigorously.
When Sima Chao saw Love asking this, he glared at her and replied, "Why do you ask this?"
Love smiled: "I'm just curious."
Sima Chao smiled and said, "You already have enough evil ideas. It's better to know less about these heretical ideas."
