Hu Yang's anger still persisted.

Back at the princess mansion, he asked, Where is Chen Luren?

Qi Niang, the young master has gone out.

Did you tell me where to go?

I didn't say where I was going, I just said that the princess doesn't have to worry about his affairs.

boom!

Hu Yang was so angry that he kicked over the stool, Does this wicked person intend to piss me off to death? Send someone to look for him, and make sure to find him.

After receiving the letter, Chen Min left the county office through Jiaomen and hurried to the teahouse.

Finally met Chen Lu in the private room of the teahouse.

elder brother!

Minmin is here, sit down.

Chen Min sat down on the chair and said eagerly: I've heard about everything. My mother took people to Fuming County Lord's Mansion to fight. His Majesty will get the news soon.

Brother, what on earth are you thinking? Why did you suddenly think of marrying Zhou Yi? You know that your mother and Princess Fuming are not dealing with each other, but you are stabbing a knife in your mother's heart, do you know that?

It's not a sudden decision. Chen Lu's expression was calm.

What? Chen Min was puzzled.

Chen Lu took a deep breath, Zhou Yi and I have been together for half a year, it's time to talk about marriage.

what!

Chen Min covered her mouth, for fear that she would cry out in shock.

Brother and Zhou Yi have been together for half a year? You, how could you? How did you get together?

Chen Lu said expressionlessly: I met by chance, and then we chatted. It may be that we have similar identities. These years have not been going well, and we can empathize with each other's experiences, and then everything will come naturally. That's how it is. .”

Chen Min digested it, and asked nervously, Does mother know?

Chen Lu shook his head, I didn't tell her. It's useless to tell her. She objected and objected. She didn't have the heart to listen to me. I also didn't have the heart to talk to her.

Chen Min looked a little sad, Mother actually cares about you very much.

It doesn't matter.

She objected to my marriage with Zhou Yi because she felt that I would embarrass her. Do you think she really cares about me? Not!

Brother, how can you say that. Mother has not been easy these years. Don't you feel ashamed when you say this?

Chen Lu looked at Chen Min with a complicated expression, Minmin, there are many things you don't know, you don't understand. Between me and my mother...

Chen Min rudely interrupted Chen Lu, If you don't tell me, of course I don't understand. I don't care how many reasons you have, but you can't say that about your mother. Even if she has a bad moral character, you can't deny that she always cares about her. our.

Chen Lu lowered his head and smiled mockingly.

Chen Min was very sad, Brother, what happened to you? Why do I feel like I don't know you anymore?

Chen Lu raised his head and looked at her, Minmin, what do you think of me? Will a girl from a good family marry me?

You are fine! There will definitely be girls from good families willing to marry you. Chen Min blurted out without thinking.

Chen Lu smiled and shook his head, No girl from a good family will marry me.

Why does brother despise himself? Chen Min was dissatisfied.

But Chen Lu said: It's not that I despise myself, but it's the fact. You can ask, which official family is willing to marry a daughter to me? Well, I will lower my requirements. I don't ask for a family. A girl from an ordinary family is also fine. .

Does my sister know that even if ordinary people are willing to marry their daughter to me, the condition is that I must pay a generous dowry. The woman only dowries half of the dowry.

Sister, I am the only male member of the Chen family. I am the incense of the Chen family. My surname is Chen. A good girl with real talent, learning, family background, and good looks will not consider me at all.

I'm also surnamed Chen, and I'm also a prisoner.

Chen Min was very angry. She felt that Chen Lu had changed, became gloomy and depressed.

It's no longer the Chen Lu who made bold words and determined to revive the Chen family.

Chen Lu shook his head again and again, Minmin, you are really lucky to be a daughter. You don't have to bear the sins of the Chen family.

What the hell is brother talking about? What sin? Those are all in the past, didn't you tell me to look forward. Why did you become like this?

Chen Min was very sad and confused, what happened to Chen Lu?

Chen Lu laughed at himself, Minmin, don't make a fuss, I'm fine. I'm just expressing my feelings. When my mother found out that I was going to marry Zhou Yi, do you know what she said? She said that Zhou Yi was a third-married woman, so she must be She seduced me on purpose, stuff like that.

Chen Min was a little embarrassed, My mother said that Zhou Yi is a third-married woman, and she was right.

As for me, I'm a broken-down hukou, a prisoner. She and I don't dislike anyone, so we just make a good couple.

How could brother say that about himself? Chen Min disapproved.

Chen Lu asked her, You don't agree with me marrying Zhou Yi?

Chen Min thought for a while and said, If my brother really thinks clearly, if Zhou Yi is the only one, I will support you. Don't worry too much about your mother. We can ask my cousin for help. My cousin and mother have a good relationship. It will definitely convince your mother to agree to your marriage.

Chen Lu smiled, Thank you Minmin, I knew you would support me. But you don't need to ask my cousin for help.

Chen Min said solemnly: Brother, if there is only one person in the world who can persuade mother, then this person must be my cousin. If you are not convenient to come forward, I will do it for you, and I will ask my cousin for help.

Chen Lu shook his head, rejecting Chen Min's kindness, I appreciate your kindness, but it's not necessary.

Chen Min was full of doubts, Why? Doesn't my brother want to marry Zhou Yi?

Chen Lu took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and said, I don't need mother's permission.

Why? Marriage is a matter of parents' order and matchmaker's words. Without mother's consent, do you want to get married alone?

Chen Lu looked at Chen Min with a complicated expression, Minmin, I've been thankful countless times that you are a daughter, so you don't have to bear the sins of the Chen family.

It's a sin again! Brother, stop talking nonsense, okay?

Chen Min had a disapproving expression on his face.

Why do you always talk about the crimes of the Chen family?

Chen Lu took a deep breath and said solemnly: Minmin, I'll tell you the truth, even if my mother agrees to my marriage, I don't care.

Chen Min frowned tightly, Brother, you misunderstood mother too much.

Chen Lu opened his mouth, Mother, she...

Halfway through, he swallowed again.

Chen Min took a deep breath, My brother always said that I don't understand, of course I don't understand. Because you refused to tell me anything and kept everything from me. We are brothers and sisters, so can't my brother be more honest with me? ?”

Chen Lu picked up the teacup and downed it in one gulp.

There was sadness hidden between his brows, My sister really wants to know?

certainly!

Chen Min is very serious, she is not joking.

Chen Lu said solemnly: Mother hates me!

Chen Min was there in a daze, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

She repeatedly denied, Ridiculous! Mother hates father, I can understand. She has no reason to hate you. You are mother and son, a family!

It's not a family. Since the Chen family's accident, it's no longer a family. It's just blood. I'm her son, but I'm not a family.

Chen Lu's tone was firm, and he repeatedly emphasized that they were not from the same family.

He didn't understand it before.

Later, as he got older, his mind began to mature, and he experienced so many things, he suddenly realized the truth.

Even though Hu Yang never revealed the slightest hatred, he still felt it.

He felt hate!

From then on, he finally understood that they were not a family for a long time.

Chen Min wept, and looked at Chen Lu sadly, How could my brother have such an idea? It's obviously a family, why do you have to deny it?

Chen Lu laughed at himself, Because it's the truth.

I don't believe it! Chen Min said stubbornly.

Chen Lu sighed softly, I came to see you today, just to talk to you. In the future, we will try our best to reduce communication. If Gu Yu is released, you can take your children and go with him to other places. Don't worry about me, I will take care of you. Be yourself.

Chen Min's eyes were filled with tears, Brother, are you hiding something from me? Can you tell me?

Chen Lu smiled, I didn't hide it from you, so don't think too much about it.

Chen Min shook her head, she didn't believe it.

Chen Lu patted her head, I am a mother myself, why do I cry at every turn.

My brother won't tell me the truth, what else can I do but cry?

Don't think too much!

Can she not think too much?

Chen Min's eyes were full of sadness, When is my brother planning to hold a wedding with Zhou Yi? I want to watch the ceremony.

The time has not been set yet. I will inform you when the time is set.

Chen Min wiped away tears, Although I don't like Zhou Yi, she is the person my brother likes, and I will try to accept her. After so many years, my brother is finally getting married. My father must be very relieved that he has a spirit in heaven.

The corners of Chen Lu's mouth moved slightly, and he wanted to laugh, but he didn't.

He told Chen Min, Live a good life with Gu Yu and don't worry about me. If your mother sends someone to ask you, just tell her that I have returned to the barracks. I will return to the capital when I am free.

After speaking, he got up and left.

Chen Min failed to keep him and watched him leave.

She clutched her chest, feeling very uncomfortable. Watching Chen Lu's back disappear into the crowd.

She lay down on the table and cried hard. After crying, she wiped away her tears, got up and went back to the county office.

No matter what Chen Lu thinks, life must go on.

Gu Yu was a little worried about her situation, Mother-in-law sent someone over, but I dismissed them. Are you okay?

I'm fine. I want to sleep first and see my mother tomorrow.

Do you want me to accompany you?

Chen Min shook his head, You don't need to accompany me. Besides, the Yamen cannot do without you.

Gu Yu was worried about her, so he took the time the next day to accompany Chen Min to Huyang County Lord's Mansion.

The master of Huyang County lost his temper, and most people couldn't stand it.

All the people in the princess' mansion were silent like cicadas, not daring to vent their anger.

The servants still couldn't find Chen Lu, and the owner of Huyang County had already smashed four or five sets of tea sets one after another.

When she wanted to continue smashing, she was stopped by Chen Min.

Mother might as well listen to my sister-in-law's opinion.

Hu Yang's hand holding the tea set paused, You mean Gu Jiu?

Exactly! Brother and Zhou Yi, the world finds it incredible. But my sister-in-law has always said amazing things, maybe she will have a different opinion.

Even if Gu Jiu has a different opinion, it doesn't matter. Ben Gong absolutely agrees to be in-laws with Fu Ming.

Chen Min said calmly: I'm afraid Princess Fuming is not willing to be in-laws with my mother.

I can't wait for it.

Gu Yu coughed lightly, Let me interrupt, didn't the palace ask about this?

Princess Huyang froze, then shook her head.

Immediately afterwards, she called her confidant and asked, What's the situation in the palace?

Jin Wuwei truthfully reported what happened, and it is said that His Majesty only said three words.

Princess Huyang asked nervously, Which three words?

'Got it'! These are His Majesty's original words.

Hu Yang suddenly panicked, The emperor only said three words, and there is no other explanation?

The confidant shook his head.

Hu Yang was a little uneasy, after thinking about it, he made up his mind very simply, I want to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

So he left Chen Min and Gu Yu behind, changed into court clothes, and entered the palace.

...

Xingqing Palace.

The servant reported to the princess of Huyang to see him.

Emperor Wende gave a hmm at first, and then said, Let her wait in the side hall.

The servant took the order to retreat.

Emperor Wende said bluntly to Chang En: At this time, I don't want to see Huyang.

Chang En then asked: Do you want this old slave to send the princess away?

Emperor Wende shook his head, I know her temper very well, and she will never give up until she achieves her goal. If I don't see her, she will have more right and wrong.

Chang En said: If the Empress Dowager is still there, the Empress Dowager can persuade the princess.

When mentioning the deceased Empress Dowager Xiao, Emperor Wende's eyes sank, Is Su Wenzhi still missing?

Forgive me, Your Majesty. I haven't found Su Wenzhi's whereabouts yet. She disappeared out of thin air, as if she had never appeared before.

Absurd, a living person will always leave traces. It must be that the people below are not careful enough.

Damn the old slave!

Chang En knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Emperor Wende snorted coldly, Get up! Let the people below seize the time to search for Su Wenzhi's whereabouts.

Old slave obeys!

Also, let Huyang hang out for half an hour before calling her in.
