The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Just under the night sky, the evening breeze gently blows Chen Ao's cheeks. With the hazy lantern light and shadow under the eaves, Chen Ao and Zhou Heng sat cross-legged. Zhou Heng was eating pastries voraciously, and complained: "You don't know Chen Ao. I thought my father would calm down after three or five days, but I still didn't avoid it. It was so miserable. Oh... I'll go to the Imperial College to study in a few days. It's good to go to study, at least I don't have to look at his face often."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Didn't you say you are practicing qigong?"

Zhou Heng chewed the food in his mouth awkwardly and smiled awkwardly: "Don't talk about this, don't talk about this..." When he was full, he comfortably touched his filled belly, wearing the robe sent by Chen Ao, and his mood was obviously better, and said: "I, the young master, have no intention of doing anything. Have you ever seen a young master who will be punished like this? I just don't like studying, so I am still very peaceful in normal times, right?"

Chen Ao thought about it, if yes, his conscience seemed to be a little unbearable; but if he shook his head, the injured heart in front of him could not be comforted, so he had to open his eyes and talk lies, and said sincerely and emotionally: "Yes, except for studying, Jay Chou is very talented in other aspects, but in this era, everything is inferior, only with a high school student, a great talent like Jay Chou, it's a pity that he was born at the wrong time, otherwise he would be a hero."

Chen Ao slandered in his heart: "In the future, you will probably be a second-generation rich man."

Zhou Heng suddenly danced and said repeatedly: "Do Chen Ao still understand me, but what is the times?"

At this moment, a voice came from the darkness and said, "I'm so stupid. He is ridiculing you. Why are you laughing at?"

Zhou Heng was so scared that his face looked like earth, and his body was agile and knelt on the ground, lowering his head, pretending to be thinking about his mistakes.

The person who came was Zhou Ruo. She was wearing a light yellow long skirt, wearing a light moon, and carrying a food box lightly, just like Fairy Yue walking out of the darkness. Her every frown and smile was very fresh and refined.

Seeing that it was my sister, Zhou Heng let out a sigh and returned to his usual condition. He said, "Sister, you are so scary that my heart almost jumped out of my mind."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Hello Miss Zhou."

Zhou Ruo saw the pastry residue on the ground, frowned and said to Zhou Heng: "It turns out that you are not hungry, which makes your mother worried that she can't sleep. She secretly teaches me to send some food." She glanced at Chen Ao and said, "Don't Chen Ao sleep tonight?"

Somehow, the smell of Zhou Ruo's gunpowder tonight seemed less strong than usual.

Chen Ao replied, "I want to sleep, but I will talk to Zhou Heng first."

Zhou Ruo put down the food box and said, "It was very cold at night. I brought some wine and food. If it is cold, drink some wine to warm your body."

Zhou Heng smiled: "My sister is still considerate to me. It seems that there are people in this mansion that I am notorious for. I originally wanted to run away from home, but now I will continue to stay here for my sister's sake."

Zhou Ruo said angrily: "Don't look at my face, you can leave now."

Zhou Heng had no confidence, so he had to stop talking and ran away from home. It was just a talk. No matter how stupid he was, he would not take it seriously.

Zhou Ruo put down the food box, turned around and walked. After walking a few steps, he suddenly looked back at Chen Ao and pondered for a moment, saying, "Chen Ao, Chun'er is sick." As he said that, he disappeared into the night.

"Chun'er is sick!" Chen Ao's mind buzzed. He found that Chun'er's expression was a little abnormal these days. He didn't pay attention, and unexpectedly he was sick.

Zhou Heng was also worried. He thought that his daily friendship with Chun'er was pretty good. According to Chen Ao's sudden reluctance, he said to Chen Ao: "Are you okay? Why don't we visit her now?"

Chen Ao smiled bitterly: "In the middle of the night, are you going to visit or be a thief?"

Zhou Heng touched his head and laughed: "I almost forgot, we'll go tomorrow."

Chen Ao's mood suddenly became worse. Chun'er has become strange recently, as if she is not as close to her as before.

No, I can't continue like this.

Early the next morning, Zhou Heng and Shen Ao went to his wife to greet him. In fact, there are many things to say about this today. The wife was wearing a gorgeous dress and sat in the hall with a dangerous face. She was surrounded by Miss Zhou and many maids. Several officials in the mansion stood on the periphery. The Duke, who had never taken care of housework, came, sat on the left side of the wife, and slowly drank tea.

Zhou Heng went in and saw Zhou Zheng. Wow, his face changed, and he turned from a cat to a mouse. He saluted with fear. His knees were swollen before, so his knees could not bend down and he could only bow his body, which was very embarrassing.

"Stand aside." Zhou Zheng didn't give Zhou Heng any good expression. With a scolding, Zhou Heng immediately became agile and stood quickly on the side of Zhou Ruo.

The lady waved to Chen Ao: "Chen Ao, come and pour tea for your aunt."

Chen Ao nodded and glanced at him. Chun'er did not come. She felt very disappointed and felt empty.

Xiang'er came over with the tea set. Chen Ao poured out a cup of tea from the teapot, held it carefully and sent it on, saying, "Please have tea for aunt."

The lady took the tea, took a sip, then put the teacup on the table beside her, and said with a smile: "From now on, you will be my family, and I don't ask you for anything else. You should work hard and read more, do you know?"

Chen Ao hurriedly said, "Madam said this, Chen Ao will not be able to do it if he doesn't work hard."

The lady smiled, held his hand, and said, "You child is very sensible, and I have nothing to say. Heng'er, Ruo'er, come to see your cousin."

Cousin? Zhou Heng couldn't react for a moment. He was still Chen Ao just now, why did he become his cousin in a blink of an eye?

At this time, Zhou Zheng's murderous gaze fell, Zhou Heng's back felt cold, and he quickly stepped forward, grabbed Chen Ao's hand, and said excitedly: "Hello, cousin."

Chen Ao smiled and held him back: "My cousin is very well-behaved."

Everyone was laughing, Zhou Heng was embarrassed, and he went back obediently. He was full of questions. Why did Chen Ao become his cousin? Why didn’t Chen Ao reveal it last night? By the way, it seemed to reveal it, and even called him a cousin, but unfortunately he didn’t care much later.

Zhou Ruoying walked over and nodded to Chen Ao: "Hello, cousin." Her good word was a little bit heavy, and a sarcastic meaning appeared on her face, as if she was saying: "You are so sloppy, you are so good at coaxing people."

Chen Ao knew she was dissatisfied. Wow, it was so sad. Your cousin was not sincere in calling you.

Although there was a gloomy in his heart, he was an optimistic person by nature, so he snatched over and held Zhou Ruo's hand. Zhou Ruo's face turned red. He wanted to break free, but he couldn't get out of it. He wanted to scold people, but so many people looked at him, so he had to raise his red face to look at Chen Ao's eyes. Chen Ao's eyes were very pure and sharp. His handsome face drooped slightly and looked at her. Chen Ao said word by word: "Hello cousin."

Everyone applauded, it was so touching. This picture of recognizing relatives was very warm, and the master and his wife were there. Chen Ao will become the young master in the mansion in the future. He took the opportunity to flatter him more quickly, so he said, "Congratulations to Mr. Chen." Or, "Congratulations to Mr. Chen." Someone said, "Madam is such a blessing."

Zhou Ruo was stunned for a moment, shy and angry, but he couldn't have an attack, because everyone knew that Chen Ao's actions just now were natural and very open. His cousin was holding her hand openly and said with a sincere face. No one would doubt anything else. Instead, he felt that Chen Ao valued family affection, even her father and mother, who were also smiling and relieved at this moment.

Chen Ao is too bad. If he had skin contact with Miss Zhou in private, he would inevitably be suspected by others and would suspect that he had ulterior motives. However, in front of many people, he would not think about it like this.

As the saying goes, a gentleman is open and honest, while a villain is always worried. That is to say, a gentleman is open and honest, not worried or afraid, so he is broad-minded and open-minded. However, because a villain has bad intentions, he dares not be open and honest in many things. Being arrogant is a gentleman, too open-minded.

"Let go..." Zhou Ruo whispered and threatened. Even if it was natural, he had been holding this hand for too long.
