Chapter 26: Six more days, and you will regain the light!

Chu Chu Ruoyan's house was in the east of the city, and she was the first to return to the mansion.

Just arriving at the hall, her mother ran over anxiously.

"Daughter, you bought too many things; what did mother teach you before? Try to show your virtuous side in front of the Emperor, so that the Emperor will like you."

"Mother, I didn't even speak; the Emperor bought them all for me. Do you think I dared to refuse?"

Chu Chu Ruoyan sighed, and while looking at the room full of treasures, her heart was also very happy.

She had lived to this age, and it was the first time she had encountered someone who pampered her so dominantly.

Women, after all, said they didn't want them with their mouths, but their hearts were very honest.

Hearing her daughter say this, her mother breathed a sigh of relief, and then a bright smile appeared on her face.

It seemed the Emperor truly took a fancy to Chu Chu Ruoyan, otherwise he wouldn't have bought so many things.

And she, as a mother, could also be considered to have taken a bit of Chu Chu Ruoyan's light today.

These clothing and jewelry were all top-grade in the Imperial Capital.

If she wore a few sets out, wouldn't she make those gossiping women of other families envious to death?

Saying this, the mother and daughter began to try on clothes and precious jewelry.

Having been busy for a long time, Chu Chu Ruoyan was also a little tired and returned to her room.

But just when she intended to close the door, that mysterious black shadow appeared before her room door again.

"Xiao Ming, you finally came."

Chu Chu Ruoyan pondered that she hadn't explained clearly last time, so she had to explain well this time.

But when Xiao Ming heard it, it wasn't like that at all.

He felt that his goddess had been waiting for him to take her away, and didn't want to stay in the Imperial Capital for even a moment, which was why she would say such an impatient tone.

Xiao Ming felt heartbroken again, hating his own powerlessness.

He swept a glance at the room full of treasures and clothes, gritted his teeth and said: "That dog emperor actually used worldly things to insult you; what does he take you for? It makes me very angry!"

Xiao Ming had been a licker for so many years, and he knew that Chu Chu Ruoyan didn't like these worldly things.

Even her dressing and makeup were very simple.

Even the things Liu Hao and Wu Qi had sent before, Chu Chu Ruoyan had sternly refused.

And she indicated that she just wanted to cultivate well and wanted to make the Chu family go a step further and become a first-rate noble family in the Imperial Capital through her own efforts.

What a woman who wasn't moved by material things, what an independent and self-reliant woman!

This was the point Xiao Ming liked most about Chu Chu Ruoyan.

If Chu Chu Ruoyan knew he thought this way, she would definitely say: Actually, I dressed simply before because I couldn't afford it!

If sending these treasures and clothing was an insult, Chu Chu Ruoyan hoped this insult would come even more fiercely!

As for why Chu Chu Ruoyan didn't want the things Liu Hao and Wu Qi sent, it was because of a woman's restraint.

And once she accepted it, the other party could go a step further.

Before she considered going a step further, it was impossible for her to accept these things.

But in front of Li Chen, she didn't have the chance to refuse, and couldn't even find a reason to refuse.

Women who cannot be moved by material things fall into two situations.

First: She herself is not lacking.

Second: Your material is not enough.

No, Xiao Ming must have misunderstood something; Chu Chu Ruoyan felt she had to clarify things.

Before Chu Chu Ruoyan could speak, Xiao Ming disappeared again, leaving behind a mysterious back. A sentence echoed in the air.

"Six more days, and you will regain the light!"

Chu Chu Ruoyan's beautiful eyes widened; this guy didn't give her a chance to speak at all?

Did he think he was very handsome doing this?

But wasn't he? Now, Xiao Ming, hiding in the dark, couldn't suppress the rise of the corners of his mouth.

In order to pretend to be this cool, he had prepared for an afternoon.

From the design of his appearance to his departure, plus the lines, they were all carefully prepared by him.

He just wanted Chu Chu Ruoyan to know that he was the number one affectionate person in the Imperial Capital!

After the battle in the bustling area ended, Liu Hao also returned to his mansion.

Compared to the joyful atmosphere of the Chu family, the atmosphere in the Liu mansion was a bit tense.

Because as soon as Liu Hao returned home, he sat on the seat beside his father, directly picked up the teapot and drank, looking as arrogant as he could be.

The Liu family had strict family discipline, and the servants nearby saw this, their eyelids jumping.

!

Thinking in their hearts, is the young master crazy today, actually daring to sit in the position beside the old master?

Sensible servants had already closed the mansion gate to avoid the scene of 'father kind and son filial' being seen by outsiders.

Liu Hao's father was also a hot-tempered person; seeing his son actually dare to sit beside him without even greeting him, was his skin itchy?

Just when Liu Hao's father stood up, aggressively taking out the belt at his waist, preparing to teach Liu Hao a lesson.

Liu Hao put down the teapot, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he opened his mouth: "Today I treated the Emperor to a meal."

One sentence, no one in the Liu mansion dared to move, including his father, and his father's hand holding the belt in mid-air.

Being able to climb up to a relationship with Li Chen, this was the capital for Liu Hao to dare to pretend to be cool when returning home today.

Anyway, he didn't believe his father dared to beat him.

Today, Liu Hao was determined to pretend to be cool!

The facts were just as Liu Hao expected; the momentum on his father's body instantly dissipated, and he began to ask Liu Hao eagerly what had happened.

Liu Hao originally wanted to say he was thirsty and let his father pour him some tea.

But considering he might truly be beaten to death, he didn't dare to say it.

Pretending to be cool a little bit was enough.

"Today, wasn't I going to the commercial street? I happened to run into Chu Chu Ruoyan..."

He told the story of how he judged Li Chen's identity through Chu Chu Ruoyan, then observed in the dark, finally found an opportunity, had a chance encounter, pretended not to know Li Chen, and then took advantage of Chu Chu Ruoyan's relationship to curry favor with Li Chen.

As he spoke, he made his father excited.

"Good, good, good, worthy of being my good eldest son, even this kind of method could be thought of, my Liu clan lineage truly has successors!"

Seeing his old father's face that couldn't close from laughing, Liu Hao was very proud.

He felt more and more that he was witty at that time and made the most correct choice in his life.

Liu Hao naturally began to brag; when mentioning introducing his clan sister to Li Chen, his old father even gave a thumbs up.

"Too wonderful, the Emperor originally has no concubines; if you can arrange this matter for the Emperor, our Liu clan lineage will definitely return to the court!"

Perhaps the court was a place Li Chen was too lazy to go to, but that was a place countless noble families in the May Tian Ce Dynasty squeezed their whole lives to get into, even if they could only stand at the very back.

The Liu family's ancestors also had a Great General at the same level as Guo Guo Po Yun, but there were no talents to continue later, leading to the fact that they were no longer qualified to enter the court.

In the eyes of Liu Hao's father, Liu Hao's two-handed grasp, as long as either he or his clan sister could get close to Li Chen, then bringing honor to his ancestors was just around the corner!

Liu Hao's father even ordered immediately, letting the clan sister mentioned by Liu Hao stand by 24 hours a day; as long as the Emperor summoned, she would enter the palace immediately.

It was best to help the Emperor give birth to a child while the Emperor had no heirs, so that the status could be consolidated.

"Later, what did the Emperor say?"

Liu Hao's father urged.
