Chapter 143 Resignation

"Yes, yes, it's all the boy of the Zhou family who doesn't have eyes. Obviously, our princess is such a good girl by her side, and she even has to find someone else." In order to further confirm Xuanyuan Huaisheng's attitude, Tao Qingqing continued to tease her.

I mistakenly thought that Tao Qingqing really regarded himself and Zhou Nianjun as a couple. Xuanyuan Huaisheng was angry and said angrily, "Nianjun and I are just good friends. Master Tao, no matter what you say, I will ignore you."

Seeing that she was indeed not a manifestation of the love between a man and a woman, Tao Qingqing was secretly relieved and quickly comforted, "Okay, I won't talk about it. You're hungry at this late hour. Let's go to dinner.

After such a disturbance, Xuanyuan Huaisheng also left the strange feeling caused by Zhou Chongxiao behind, and returned to his room angrily after dinner. Tao Qingqing thought she was really angry, so she wanted to calm herself down for a while and didn't bother her anymore.

At dinner time, Tao Qingqing waited for a long time before Xuanyuan Huaisheng came out, and finally opened the door to call her.

With a bang, Xuanyuan Huaisheng, who was lying on the table and sleeping, was awakened by the sound of opening the door. He caught a glimpse of Tao Qingqing who entered the door. He hurriedly kneaded a picture on the table into a ball, threw it into the paper basket beside him, and then giggled and looked at Tao Qingqing.

Her exaggerated movements naturally did not escape Tao Qingqing's eyes and ears, but she said quietly, "Why did the princess sleep so late? She forgot the time to eat."

"I'll be right there." Looking at the dark sky outside, Xuanyuan Huaisheng was shocked to find that he had really overslept.

"Wash your face first. The ink has been stained on your face and you have become a kitten." Tao Qingqing pushed Xuanyuan Huaisheng to wash his face, and made a wink at the little maid behind him.

The little maid was understanding. After everyone left, she took out the paper ball in the paper basket and unfolded it to see what was going on.

"Who is the painting?" After dinner was over and Xuanyuan Huaisheng left, Tao Qingqing called the maid to ask.

"In the words of Master Tao, the princess drew Mr. Zhou Nianjun and Mr. Zhou on the paper." The little maid answered truthfully.

After waving her hand to let her go down, Tao Qingqing didn't understand: "Zhou Nianjun? What does Your Highness do to draw Zhou Nianjun at this time?

Naturally, she forgot one thing. The little maid has been serving in this Hefeng courtyard. After all, there are only a limited number of people who come and go. Naturally, they will only think that Xuanyuan Huaisheng painted Zhou Nianjun, but will not know that in the Zhou Mansion in the east of the city, there is a person who looks almost exactly like Zhou Nianjun, named "Zhou Chongxiao".

Xuanyuan Huaisheng didn't find it until he was awakened by Tao Qingqing when his sleepy eyes were hazy and his consciousness was dizzy. Because he was worried that Tao Qingqing would ask, he hurriedly threw it into the paper basket. After dinner, she rushed back to her room and saw that the paper ball was still far away. She breathed a long sigh of relief, and then took it out and burned it.

Even if Tao Qingqing thought of the possibility of Zhou Chongxiao later, there was no place to verify it.

On the other hand, after eating lunch in a low mood, Zhou Nianjun was also invited to the study by Mei Xiang.

During the meal, he listened to his mother Li Hanyu and said that he wanted to marry the daughter of the minister in the court, and asked him if there was any favorite candidate in his heart. There is always only one thing he like in his heart, that is, Princess Feng Xuanyuan Huaisheng, but how can this be said? So he just sat in a daze and listened to his mother introduce how the young ladies of this family or that family were one by one. In the end, his father left the table coldly, which made his mother shut up.

"What's wrong with Sister Mei Xiang?" Seeing that Mei Xiang's expression was not very good, Zhou Nianjun was quite concerned.

"Nianjun, I'll ask you again. Do you really want to avenge your mother?" Mei Xiang was not sure. She could see that Zhou Nianjun had put Xuanyuan Huaisheng in his heart. At this time, he said that Xuanyuan Huaisheng was Xuanyuan's identity. I'm afraid he might not believe it.

"Do you already know the whereabouts of that woman?" A flash of evil flashed in Zhou Nianjun's eyes. He has no pursuit in this life. The only regret is to watch his mother's figure fade day by day, so he hates the woman who stole his father's heart and made his mother to such a point.

Mei Xiang nodded and then shook her head again.

"Sister, you nodded and shook your head again. What on earth do you mean?" He is in a hurry.

Mei Xiang looked at Zhou Nianjun, who had grown up in front of her, and felt a little unbearable. After thinking about it, she finally didn't want to let this child who brought warmth to her silent heart fall into a dilemma, so she just said, "Mr. Nian, listen to my advice, do you forget about revenge? My sister really doesn't want you to be hurt.

Zhou Nianjun mistakenly thought that Mei Xiang was worried that the other party's cultivation would be too strong and he would be injured. He hurriedly comforted, "Sister, are not afraid. Although today's Nianjun's cultivation is not high, it does not mean that it will still be the same in the future. I promised my sister that I would never act rashly until I was not sure of victory. So please tell me who is the vicious witch who made my parents unable to rely on each other!"

"Sister, I know you are sensible, but... Well, in a word, you'd better let it go." Stroking Zhou Nianjun's face, Mei Xiang's eyes were full of tears. Without waiting for Zhou Nianjun to say anything more, he turned into a beam of light and returned to the picture scroll.

Zhou Nianjun couldn't catch up with him, and he couldn't understand: What's wrong with this? My sister didn't always agree with me to avenge my mother. Why did she suddenly ask me to let it go today?

In the morning of the next day, Xuanyuan Day received an unexpected fold, so he asked Xuanyuan Huaijin to check it together.

"Zhou Chongxiao wants to resign?" After reading the folds, Xuanyuan Huaijin was also confused. This week, Chongxiao was a good official. Why did he suddenly say that he wanted to resign?

"I also think it's incredible. This week, Chongxiao's heart is not on his official career. This is still clear, that's why he is in charge of Guanglu Temple and is responsible for sacrifices, court meetings, banquets, and feasts. He has always been cautious and has never made any mistakes. But when this resignation said..." Xuanyuan Dayu was also annoyed.

"What kind of people has he been in contact with recently?" In the royal family, I have to be careful. Zhou Chongxiao's sudden move made Xuanyuan Huaijin have to imagine a possibility that he was threatened.

But then he himself felt that this idea was ridiculous. With Zhou Chongxiao's cultivation, which one in this huge imperial city could threaten him?

"I heard that his wife recently intended to help his son talk about a decent marriage." Xuanyuan recalled the reports of the detectives and tried to find some useful information from them.

The news of the detectives is limited. After all, Zhou Chongxiao usually lives a mediocre life, so mediocre that people almost forget his existence.

It is normal to talk about a marriage for your son. How can it be the reason for Zhou Chongxiao to resign? Xuanyuan Huaijin automatically skipped this message.

"Bear by the way, it seems that Huaisheng also went to Zhoufu that day." Xuanyuan recalled it again, and the entourage of the princess seemed to have mentioned such a thing.

Xuanyuan Huaisheng and Zhou Nianjun are good friends who have been playing together when they were young, which is also known to both of them.

"Is it!" Xuanyuan Huaijin suddenly remembered a possibility that he didn't want to believe, "Did the two of them meet?" But then he overturned his conjecture: "It's impossible. If this is really the reason, how can there be no situation on my sister's side?"

"Huaijin, what do you mean..." Xuanyuan Day's understanding of the relationship between Zhou Chongxiao and Xuanyuan Bi is not as good as Xuanyuan Huaijin, and he can't pay attention to it for a while.

Xuanyuan Huaijin did not want Xuanyuan to be too involved in this kind of thing. He shook his head and said, "Your father doesn't need to worry too much about this matter. I'll take care of it."

If this is the case, I'm afraid he will be a villain again, separating Xuanyuan Huaisheng and Zhou Chongxiao far away. However, according to the current cultivation of Zhou Chongxiao and Xuanyuan Huaisheng, things must not be as easy as before.

And Xuanyuan Huaijin thought of Tao Qingqing and Xiao Yong in Hefeng's courtyard. He didn't know why, he always had a hunch that these two people would help him stop Zhou Chongxiao together. So he can sit back and watch it now.

Naturally, the most violent reaction to Zhou Chongxiao's resignation was Li Hanyu.

If it hadn't been for the husbands' party and heard about it, when those husbands were asking her if she knew the reason, Li Hanyu knew that Zhou Chongxiao had made such a major decision behind her back.

From the beginning of her wedding, she knew that she and Zhou Chongxiao could never walk together, but when this complete betrayal was really spread out in front of her, her heart couldn't help but feel so painful that she almost fainted.

After escaping from the party, she came to Zhou Chongxiao's study with red eyes. Looking at the closed door, her finally summoned courage suddenly disappeared, and she did not dare to push open the gentle door.

"Come in." In the room, Zhou Chongxiao had already discovered her arrival, and he knew what she was doing here.

In the study, Zhou Chongxiao sat cross-legged on the cold couch, lowered his eyebrows, and even looked up at Li Hanyu when he came into the room.

In the golden incense burner, there is light smoke, and the aura of heaven and earth is the most abundant in this study, which makes Li Hanyu feel comfortable in an instant. But at the moment when I saw Zhou Chongxiao, the insoluble knot surged into my heart, and the eyebrows that had just stretched were knotted again.

When Zhou Chongxiao faced her, he always spoke very little, and he didn't mean to speak at all at this time. Li Hanyu stood for a long time before he said quietly, "I heard that you are going to resign."

Zhou Chongxiao didn't think about how long he could hide such a big thing, so he naturally nodded and admitted it.

"Why?" With his own admission, Li Hanyu became excited in an instant, "How can you be so selfish? Even if you don't pay attention to me, what about you?"

Zhou Chongxiao's eyes darkened. That's right. He did this, and he was really sorry for his only son. But this is just a flash of emotion, and the next moment it has disappeared without a trace.

Zhou Nianjun and Xuanyuan Huaisheng always came to mind. Zhou Chongxiao suddenly found that he was jealous of his son.
