If those maids' gossips are true, then many of his previous questions can be solved.

Why did King Kang agree to the dirty act of Pingxi Hou’s concubine’s daughter becoming a concubine? Why was the wedding so hasty? Condition improved...

It is indeed an absurd but very convincing reason to be happy for the princess.

But obviously there is still a big brother who has already engaged, why insist on using Xiao Lin to congratulate him?

Could it be that just because Xiao Lin was disabled and lost the qualification to compete for the son, he became a tool of this marriage transaction just like him?

Xiao Lin's resistance to this marriage may not only be due to her distaste for the Hou's Mansion, but also partly because of her silent protest against the Prince's Mansion.

--Although it is useless.

Thinking about it now, Mr. Liu who was betrothed to his eldest brother must also be an official, Liu... It seems that the surname of the left minister is Liu.

On one end is Ping Xihou, who has only an empty shell, and on the other end is the powerful prime minister of the dynasty. This multiple-choice question is not difficult.

Bai Chen sneered, there really was nothing new in the Hou family.

How many secrets are hidden under the calm in this palace?

-------

In the eighth year of Youde, April [-]th, the day when the young master of the Pingxi Hou Mansion returned to Ning.

Early in the morning, Bai Zhanyuan and his wife waited in the lobby with their family.

Returning home is an important custom in the new dynasty. Bai Zhanyuan thought that the groom did not come in person when he got married, so he must give his father-in-law some face after marriage.

Although marrying that disabled person is not a good marriage, but Bai Chen is just a bastard, and he married into Kang Wang's mansion, so he can be regarded as a high-ranking man.More importantly, with this level of in-law relationship with Kang Wangfu, he has another reliance in the court.

The court is like a river and lake, with turbulent winds and clouds and unpredictable changes, how can he feel at ease if he doesn't find more powerful relationships?

It is precisely because of this that he summoned all his family members except the two concubines to show respect for Kang Wangfu.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Bai Chen and Xiao Lin didn't wait to go home.

The sons and daughters of Bai Zhanyuan couldn't sit still, and Bai Fangfei, the second daughter who was going to marry Xiao Lin, simply asked, "Are they not coming back today?"

"Nonsense!" Ping Xihou scolded with a stern face, "I can't sit still after such a short time? If I marry someone in the future, I will lose face for being so unruly!"

The royal family Wang also signaled Bai Fangfei not to say such inappropriate words with his eyes.

"Father, my daughter is wrong." Bai Fangfei pursed her lips, apologized reluctantly and sat down in a respectful manner.

On the surface, Bai Zhanyuan was calm, but in fact, he was a little anxious in his heart.

After waiting for a while, Bai Zhanyuan finally couldn't sit still because he still didn't see the servants of the palace coming to report in advance.

Just as she was about to send her servants to take a look halfway, Mrs. Wang patted his hand lightly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I have already ordered Mother Wang to take the servants to meet them. If there is news, she will Send someone to tell us quickly."

Bai Zhanyuan's face softened: "Madam is still thoughtful."

This is also the reason why Bai Zhanyuan always respects and trusts Wang the most no matter how obsessed he is with young beauty.

Steady, appropriate, and general.

This kind of temperament of a rich family's daughter is something that concubines from poor and humble backgrounds can't learn in their lifetime.

Near noon, the servant of the Hou Mansion rushed back to report.

"Report to Lord Marquis, madam!" The servant ran too fast, sweating profusely and panting, "Wang's mansion, the people from Wang's mansion are almost here. But I don't see the young master and son-in-law, only Mr. Lin who was receiving the marriage! "

"What?!" Bai Zhanyuan's face changed drastically, and he slapped the table and stood up, "Are you sure the newcomer hasn't come back?"

The little boy shook his head, but he didn't dare to look up: "I looked carefully a few times, only to see Mr. Lin with his servants and horses, carrying presents."

"This bastard!" Bai Zhanyuan's face turned blue, and he brushed the teacup on the table to the ground.

The teacup fell to the ground and was smashed to pieces. The loud sound made everyone's hearts tense.

Bai Zhanyuan was really angry now, the hall became quiet, no one dared to speak, even Mrs. Wang dared not speak out to persuade him, for fear of being angered.

"Kang Wang's mansion doesn't take me seriously, and that little bastard Bai Chen doesn't take me seriously!" Bai Zhanyuan's chest heaved violently, and his face turned red with anger.

After Kang Wang's mansion married him back, he didn't even want to do superficial work. He obviously didn't take him seriously as Marquis Pingxi. How could he not be angry?But he had nothing to do with King Kang, so he put all the blame on Bai Chen.

Bai Zhanyuan slapped the table and threw things and scolded for a while, finally tired, he sat down on the chair and gasped for breath.

"If you don't come back, you won't come back." Wang Shi saw that he was almost out of anger, so she said: "Don't be angry, Lord Hou, it's not worth it to be angry."

Bai Zhanyuan clenched his fists: "How can I meet people when this matter gets out, and where is my face?"

"Kang Wang's mansion doesn't care if this matter spreads." A look of disgust flashed in Wang's eyes, "I've never heard of young couples who don't come back after marriage. Our Bai family is also after the founding fathers. They are like this. Doing it is really deceiving people too much. Even if you go to the emperor to judge, they are wrong."

"But we replaced the second younger sister with the younger brother. It was our fault first." Bai Zhanyuan's eldest son Bai Xingbang said suddenly, "I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to bring this matter to the emperor, right?"

Bai Xingbang is a bit like Bai Zhanyuan, both literary and martial arts are mediocre, but he has a way of observing people's hearts by observing words and demeanor.

Mrs. Wang was choked, and said in displeasure for a while, "Why are you turning your elbows out!"

Bai Zhanyuan also calmed down a little at this time, he frowned and stroked his beard, "Xingbang is also right, the current situation in the court is complicated, and it is not appropriate to be impulsive."

Wang nodded: "Master Hou is right, I was the one who didn't think carefully just now, and almost made a mistake."

Bai Zhanyuan said: "Madam is sincere, why is there any fault? The fault is that little bastard. It really is the water thrown by the married man. His parents are so bullied by the palace, he doesn't care at all!"

Wang pretended to say: "Maybe Chen'er is also involuntary?"

"Ma'am, you don't need to speak for him, I think he is a white-eyed wolf!" Bai Zhanyuan snorted coldly, "Fortunately, he was married, otherwise I don't know how to harm my Bai family."

"Master Hou, don't be angry." Mrs. Wang persuaded Bai Zhanyuan with gentle words, and then called the servants, "Clean up the ground, and then make a cup of ginseng tea for Lord Hou."

Bai Zhanyuan's second son, Bai Xing, watched all this with cold eyes. He was disgusted by Wang's and his father's confusion of right and wrong, and secretly rejoiced that he, who was also a concubine, was a few years older and married a wife.Even if he is not married to an official lady, but also a well-educated rich daughter, he is already very satisfied.

It would be too miserable if, like Bai Chen, he was used as a marriage tool and then scolded for being disloyal and unfilial.

The servants of the Hou Mansion hurriedly cleaned up the mess all over the place, and made tea for Bai Zhanyuan again.

Before I had a few sips of tea, I saw Wang Momo coming in to report that people from the palace had arrived.

Bai Zhanyuan patted his clothes, put down his teacup, "Let him in."

He also told his sons and daughters: "Go down."

Since it was just a royal guard who came, there was no need for so many people to greet him.

Not long after, Lin Feiyun led the servants of the palace into the hall, and Bai Zhanyuan saw that the number of gifts the servants took was comparable to the betrothal gift.

"Lin Feiyun sees Lord Hou." Lin Feiyun saluted respectfully after entering the door.

"Today is the day to return home, why don't you see my son and the new uncle?" Bai Zhanyuan asked with a straight face.

He didn't dare to do anything to the palace, but he is still qualified to show face to a guard.

Lin Feiyun bowed and said: "The princess is not in good health recently. The young lady was filial as soon as she entered the door, and served in front of her with her clothes untidy. In addition, the young master is inconvenient to move and needs to be taken care of... So I sent a villain to bring a gift to apologize, please Don't blame me."

Bai Zhanyuan's face softened a little, and he said: "Guard Lin is free."

Lin Feiyun got up and said: "My lord and concubine are very moved by the filial piety of my young lady, so I was specially ordered to come over to express my thanks, thank you Lord Hou for teaching such a filial young master who knows the basics."

These words made Bai Zhanyuan's facial expression cloudy, and the people in Kang Wang's Mansion spoke so well, it was hard for him to continue to be angry on the face.

"So the princess is sick?" Bai Zhanyuan turned to ask, "When did it happen?"
