The news of Chen Ao's return, along with the minister's departure from the palace, also received the news in Jingbei Hou's Mansion.

"My lord, he came back alive. He didn't even return home after he came back. He shouldn't have greeted the lord, so he went straight into the palace. He won't know. What should we do, lord, he won't report to the emperor, right? What to do, what to do, master, think of a way quickly?"

Hearing Wu Minlan's crying and begging voice, Chen Bing was also afraid in his heart, but as the head of the family, how could he lose his timidity, "Why are you crying, I am his father, hum, even if he is really unfilial enough to sue my father He needs to have evidence to sue, so that the emperor can decide for him. Those killers have a rule that they cannot betray the identity of their employers. Besides, we have not informed those killers of our identity from the beginning to the end. Without solid evidence, even if the emperor wants to help He can't do it either. Our Jingbei Houfu is a member of the Taishanghuang's lineage. Even if the emperor wants to take the opportunity to clean up me, the Taishanghuang will not agree. You are also, what are you afraid of, show the posture of the wife of the Houfu, this matter It hasn't even happened yet, so you're showing your cowardice first. Isn't this an initiative to give people room for association? I don't believe it. He really dared to sue his father for buying him without evidence. ".

Chen Bingyue said that the more confident he was, the killer in the Jianghu who spent a lot of money to find would be worthy of the price he gave.

"Yes, yes, yes, he has no evidence, he has no evidence. Master, if he really goes to sue us, should we accuse him of being unfilial, and justifiably ask the Holy One to withdraw his status as the eldest son?" Let our Zhi'er inherit this Marquis Mansion. My lord, our Zhi'er is extremely talented, well-educated, and full of talents. He is much better than Chen Ao, but because of his status, he is looked down upon by the wealthy children. , those circles of prostitutes of noble families don’t accept Zhi’er. When I think of Zhi’er’s family background being ridiculed outside, I feel so uncomfortable that I can’t breathe. Cousin, you said that in the future, this Hou’s mansion will definitely be ours. Zhi'er, what you said must count."

Wu Minlan was crying pear blossoms with rain, holding her heart, and tenderly threw herself into Chen Bing's arms, looking at Chen Ao with tears in her eyes and crying.

To say that Wu Minlan is not young anymore, she is already in her mid-thirties, but her demeanor, her shyness for decades, has even become more attractive as she grows older. The charm, the tricks have not changed for decades, although the tricks are old-fashioned, Chen Bing just likes her, and he likes her to snuggle up to him without bones, and let him handle everything. Let him call the shots and rely on his appearance.

That's right, in front of the princess's wife, he still has to perform the rituals of a monarch and his ministers, not to mention satisfying his machismo. Even the dignity of a man is trampled under his feet by his wife. The self-esteem lost by the princess is all lost to Wu Minlan. After finding it, even after the princess disappeared for so many years, he still benefited greatly from Wu Minlan's dependence.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, my heart hurts when I cry, I know you love Zhi'er, don't I love you, he is my only son, this Hou's mansion doesn't let him inherit, can he Don't worry about who will inherit it, after a hundred years, this Marquis Mansion will definitely belong to Zhier, and it will not fall into the hands of others."

Chen Bing didn't feel at all that the other person he was talking about was also his son, and indeed, in his heart, Chen Ao was the son of the princess, not his.

"Cousin, as long as you say it, Miner will believe it. Miner has never doubted your words, but was frightened by the news of Chen Ao's return. Don't blame Miner, cousin..."

The last call of my cousin was lingering and sad, and the lingering lingering sound made Chen Bing's bones crumble, "Cousin, why would you blame Min'er? Back then, I was forced to break the love vow we made and had no choice but to marry Princess, you can only be concubine. You never blamed me or hated me. Your love for me has not changed for so many years, and you have been wronged for so many years. So don't worry about me blaming you. Everyone in this world will blame me, except I won't blame you."

"Cousin, I don't feel wronged, I have never felt wronged. You are Lord Marquis, and your identity determines that you can't live a life as you please. You know that you are forced to marry the princess, and you are helpless and unwilling. , Cousin is already so wronged, Mei Er feels sorry for her cousin and it is too late, how can she blame her cousin. Cousin, you have always been the one in Meier's heart who made the promise of love in this life with me under the plum tree My cousin is the person I love the most in this life."

Chen Bing was deeply moved by Wu Minlan's words, "Min'er, you have never changed in my heart, you have always been the pretty girl who was blushing and nestled in my arms under the plum tree. Seductive Miner".

"cousin".

"Min'er".

The two were looking at each other affectionately, when they heard the voice of a servant girl saying hello from outside, "The slave girl greets the young master and miss."

"Are father and mother in the room?" Chen Xinai's delicate voice sounded at the door.

When the two people in the room heard their daughter's voice, they hurriedly separated. Chen Bing smoothed the folds of his clothes on his chest, and Wu Minlan brushed back some of her hair that was scattered around her temples, and sat on the main seat on both sides.

"Is it my son, come in."

When Chen Xinai heard her mother's voice, she entered the room with a charming smile.Seeing his father pretending to be calm and drinking tea, and the blush on his mother's face that has not yet receded, he understood what happened in the house just now, and thought in his heart that if he could be like his mother when he was over [-] years old, he could still treat her husband They are so well-wrapped, they can still do shameful things in the hall like newlyweds in broad daylight, even if there are aunts and concubines in the house, only when the mother is unwell, the father will go to their room, even if they Giving birth to a child is nothing more than fulfilling the mother's reputation of generosity and virtuousness. According to the mother's advice, the father doesn't even look down on those wretched, cowardly and shameful concubine sons and concubine daughters, and there is no threat to their brothers and sisters at all. .

Chen Xinai thought, she still has something to learn from her mother, and her mother told her in private that she will enter the prince's mansion in the future, and she is the legitimate son of the empress, if she can learn all the tricks from her mother, Then maybe she will become the most honorable woman in the world in the future. Thinking of this, Chen Xinai's heart became hot, and the smile on her face became even sweeter.

"A daughter greets her father and mother."

"Didn't you ask Ann just now, why are you here again at this time, but something happened?" Wu Minlan held Chen Xinai in her arms and asked.

For this daughter, Wu Minlan even loves her more than her son. After all, if her daughter really enters the prince's residence, with the methods her daughter has learned from her, the future is limitless.

"Mother, daughter misses you and father, can't she?" Chen Xinai pouted coquettishly, nestling in Wu Minlan's arms acting like a spoiled child.

"You, I still don't understand. Now is your piano practice time. How could you leave the piano room so easily? Tell me, why did you come to find your mother?" Wu Minlan asked her daughter's nose.

"Hehe, my daughter can't hide anything from her mother. My daughter just heard that Brother Ao is back. Is it true?"

"Ai'er asking why?" Chen Bing was watching the interaction between his wife and daughter, enjoying the warmth of the family, and suddenly heard his daughter ask Chen Ao. When Chen Ao moved out of the house, Ai'er was still a baby. , The two of them haven't seen each other a few times since then, how could my daughter suddenly ask him.

"Father, my daughter asked this for Cousin Ya. After Cousin Ya met Brother Ao at home, she always asked me about Brother Ao whenever she saw me. Even in correspondence, there were always topics about Brother Ao, so My daughter just wanted to know if brother Ao really came back, this time there has been no news since brother Ao left for so long, cousin Ya has asked many times."

Chen Bing naturally knew who the cousin Ya was talking about in his daughter's mouth. Her full name was Wu Xiuya.

Wu Xiuya was just one of the wives they had scouted for Chen Ao before.

If the couple is really ruthless, what kind of identity is Wu Xiuya? Although she is the daughter of Wu Minlan's eldest brother, she is just a concubine pretending to be a legitimate daughter.

And Wu Minlan's elder brother was a famous figure, he was just a local rich man, and the wealth was slowly brought back by Chen Bing's biological mother and Wu Minlan, the two married daughters of the Wu family.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about Chen Bing. Chen Bing is not the biological son of Princess Ningle, Mrs. Jingbeihou of the previous generation. Princess Ningle only gave birth to one daughter, and unfortunately died young. Childbirth, Chen Bing's biological mother was Princess Ningle's dowry maid, and the whole family married Princess Ningle to the Jingbei Hou Mansion.

The deeds of the whole family are in the hands of Princess Ningle, which ensures that they will not betray the princess easily. This makes Chen Bing stand out from the many concubines and become the child on the family tree recorded by the princess, and finally inherits the family tree. to the Hou Mansion.

When the princess was alive, the Wu family had been the slaves of the Marquis Mansion. It was not until the princess and the old Marquis had gone, and Chen Bing inherited the title, that the Wu family was released and became a good citizen.

So even if Chen Bing didn't marry the princess, he would marry someone else as his official wife in the end, but that person would definitely not be Wu Minlan.

Wu Minlan's ability to restore the princess after her death was also acquiesced by the emperor. After all, with Wu Minlan's status, her child was not qualified to compete with Chen Ao for the inheritance of the Marquis Mansion, and if Chen Bing married a noble girl As the second wife, Chen Ao's absolutely unshakable position is uncertain.

Chen Bing may understand this point, but Wu Minlan doesn't know it at all, which makes her feel inexplicably proud. Since she can become Mrs. Jingbeihou, her niece can also be her niece. So in Chen Bing Wu Xiuya was included in the list of Ao's wife, but Chen Bing did not stop Wu Minlan for some reason.

"Well, Chen Ao is indeed back."

After hearing her mother's affirmative answer, Chen Xinai stood up happily, "I'll go back and write a letter to tell my cousin the news." After speaking, she held up her skirt and bowed to her parents before going out.

"Ai'er, take your time. You have to look like a lady. You are not young anymore. It's not good to raise such a naughty child. You don't need to write a letter. I will send someone to pick up your cousin to come to the house for a while." Couldn't live better".

"Then mother, send someone there quickly. I'll get someone to clean up the yard next to me when I go back, and wait for my cousin to come."

If you want to say how much Chen Xinai likes that cousin, that's not true.It's just because she knows very well that Chen Ao, as the princess's child, if there is no accident, he will definitely inherit the Hou Mansion, and it will definitely not be his elder brother's turn.

Although Chen Ao and her elder brother are both her elder brothers, who these two elder brothers will be the Marquis has a great influence on her. Of course, she wants her own brother to be the Marquis.

She has a deeper understanding of the identity of her own grandfather than her mother. If her cousin can become Chen Ao's wife, and there is a wife from a lowly family background who will only hinder her and be controlled by them, Chen Ao will not be able to live a successful life. A day to take over the knighthood.

Although she didn't know what method her father and mother would use to get Chen Ao to agree to marry his cousin as his wife, anyway, with his mother around, his father would always have a way to get Chen Ao to agree.

Regardless of whether his mother didn't want Chen Ao to stay in the mansion to be an eyesore, wouldn't Chen Ao just leave the mansion in despair and live alone.

Regarding the matter of Chen Ao leaving the mansion to live elsewhere, Chen Xinai was still young at the time, so she didn't know the specific reasons at all. She heard about these from the nurse next to her mother. She believed in her mother's ability, and naturally she also firmly believed in it. Seeing that Chen Ao was driven out by his mother, he never thought about why the house where Chen Ao was driven out was given by the emperor.

Wu Minlan's movements were quick, and Wu Xiuya came to the Jingbei Hou Mansion in a carriage not long after.

Looking at the majestic Hou Mansion, stroking the exquisite furnishings in the house where she lived as a guest, and thinking about her boudoir as clean as a snow cave, Wu Xiuya's desire deepened.

Staring dimly at the exquisite and gorgeous official kiln pink-glazed magpie climbing branch vase on the table, this time no matter what, she will be on the list of the prince. Although her aunt said that she would be the prince's wife, she didn't believe it. What is the identity, what is the identity of the prince, if she can be the concubine of the prince, then Cousin Zhi has already become the prince of the Hou family, why should the aunt give her to the prince, in a vain attempt to continue to control the future of the Hou family.

She is very self-aware of her own identity. She has never thought about that concubine. My aunt thinks she is stupid, that she has shallow eyelids, and that she is easy to control. Hehe, if she is not stupid and shallow-sighted, If it is difficult to control, then today she will not be a concubine who is treated like a concubine, but a pile of bones that are already as tall as a person on the grave.

She can't be a concubine, but she can still work hard as a concubine. Who can guarantee that she won't become a side concubine in the future, or even become a concubine in the end.

Taking out the things in the poor little bag, it was just a few changes of underwear, big clothes to wear outside, jewelry to wear, and she didn't bring any money for rewards.

Facing the contemptuous eyes of the servant girl in the Hou's Mansion, Wu Xiuya was very indifferent. She still had a few big clothes and jewelry, but if she brought them, it would definitely be more contemptible than if she didn't. After all, apart from the outfit she was wearing It was the only thing her aunt gave her that was not snatched by the concubine, leaving her to go out would not be too embarrassing, the rest of her outfit is even worse than the third-class rough envoy of the Hou's mansion.

Anyway, for her idea to come true, my aunt will always dress her up so that people can see her. That being the case, she just waits for the silk and satin to be dressed, the hairpin to be gorgeous, and the expensive jade pendant to be worn. Why bother? What are you doing with the coarse clothes, the silver hairpins worth a tael, and the fake jade pendants worth a few pennies each?

After Wu Xiuya packed her things, Chen Xinai, who was sitting drinking tea, stood up, walked to her side, and took her arm, "Cousin is packed, then let's go to mother's and ask when brother Ao will come back Why didn't my cousin ask her when she greeted her mother just now? Could it be that she was embarrassed, hehe, I can't tell. Now that Brother Ao has returned, my cousin doesn't need to ask, and I don't need to be embarrassed, hehe hehe".

Wu Xiuya put on a moderately shy look, thinking in her heart how to act so that she could become the son's concubine as soon as possible. If her aunt made a move earlier than her, there was a high probability that the matter would not succeed. Knowing that the eldest son is the princess's child and the current emperor's nephew, it would be ridiculous for the world to marry her as the eldest son and concubine.

If the matter fails at that time, no matter whether my aunt and uncle will be punished by the emperor or not, her life will definitely be gone immediately anyway, and she can't just sit around and wait for death.

Wu Xiuya touched the purse she wore around her body, thinking about the medicine she managed to get after dragging several layers of relationships inside, she felt somewhat relieved.

When they arrived at Wu Minlan's place, there was still only Wu Minlan in the room. Chen Bing went to the study, but Chen Ao did not come back. Wu Xiuya put on a disappointed look, and she was really disappointed.

"Why did you come back again? Didn't you agree to let you rest and rest? When Chen Ao comes back and hold a welcome banquet for him, you can come again. Especially you, Ya'er, you must be tired after riding a carriage all the way." Come on, go back soon, and take back the clothes and jewelry I just sent, and dress up well. When Chen Ao comes back in the evening, it is better to surprise him. This man is a If you don’t have a good appearance, even if you have a bodhisattva heart, he won’t care.”

Fortunately, all the confidantes were left in the room, otherwise, once word of Wu Minlan's words got out, Wu Xiuya wouldn't have to be a human being anymore. These words were clearly for her to dress up to seduce Chen Ao at night.

Although she planned to use some extraordinary means to accomplish things, she only planned to do so in private, in the dark, but she never thought of performing that shameless behavior naked in front of everyone's eyes.

Wu Xiuya hated secretly in her heart, but her face was full of excitement and shyness that she tried her best to suppress, "I listen to my aunt, so I'll go back and dress up, and I will definitely hook the soul of that prince to me at night."

After finishing speaking, a little maid came out of the inner hall holding a pink tube top with hibiscus embroidered skirt, a purple tulle outer blouse, and a small box containing jewelry and other things.

Looking at the clothes that only girls in Bada Hutong would wear, even though the materials were all high-quality brocade and top-quality smoked gauze, she didn't feel any joy, and her heart was full of shame.

An uncontrollable sense of shame welled up in his heart, but he still had a greedy look on his face, and exclaimed, "The material of this dress is really good, aunt, is this for me? I know that aunt is the most It hurts me, so Ya'er accepted it bluntly, aunt, Ya'er will go back to dress up now."

After performing a squatting ceremony, Wu Xiuya didn't need to be hugged by the maid, and Wu Xiuya walked out with her clothes in her arms, looking so excited and carried away.

Chen Xinai didn't go back with her. Although she knew that this cousin was superficial and ignorant, she still controlled her, but with such ignorance and shallow eyelids, she was a little unhappy even walking with her.

Wu Xiuya didn't care if her "good" cousin went with her or not, she just thought, go back and quickly change the slanted high-waisted Confucian skirt on her body into a slanted-breasted short jacket, and put it on the tube top Confucian skirt , to cover everything that should be exposed, and to expose her slender waist, which can be easily grasped, to add a little unintentional temptation. It is dignified and charming, but it is not very good.

As for the outer cover of the smoked gauze, the gauze is so fine, light, thin and translucent, and feels so good to the touch, she couldn't help but look at it for a while, and it might be accidentally caught and broken.

Just when Wu Xiuya accidentally tore the veil and hurried to modify her clothes, Chen Xinai was nestling in Wu Minlan's arms and asking her for advice on how to be a husband.

Chen Bing was calculating in the study how to force Chen Ao to agree to the wife they had chosen for him.The other Chen Zhi, who also wanted to seize the right to inherit the title, was also secretly planning in his own room. He knew about the murder of Chen Ao at home. Unexpectedly, Chen Ao came back alive, which was really unacceptable to him. It seems that the assassination is not possible, and the only thing left is poison.

Even the sons and daughters of the Hou Mansion are thinking about their own little ideas. Although they don't know what the Lord Hou and the aunt did, the weird anger in the mansion makes them survive and grow up safely. They quickly felt that although they didn't know what was going to happen, it definitely wouldn't be a trivial matter, they just didn't know if what was going to happen would allow them to gain something from it.

"Master, there is someone in the palace. It is Eunuch Song who is next to the Supreme Emperor. He said that the Supreme Emperor has an order for you."

Hearing that someone was coming from the palace, Chen Bing's heart tightened. When he heard that it was Eunuch Song, his heart was relieved, and even a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew that even if the emperor wanted to take over this matter, The Supreme Emperor would not agree to take him under the knife.

"Where is the father-in-law now?"

"When the butler was receiving the father-in-law at the gate of the mansion, he ordered the younger one to deliver a message to the master. Now the father-in-law should be led to the main hall of the main courtyard by the housekeeper."

Soon, all the masters in the Hou's mansion who got the news rushed to the main hall and waited for the order from Song Gonggong Xuan Taishang.

Eunuch Song put down the teacup in his hand, and after seeing that all the new ones had arrived, he stood up. As soon as he stood up, everyone in the Hou Mansion knelt down one after another.

"Pass down the oral order of the Supreme Emperor, Xuanjing Beihou, Chen Wu, Chen Zhi, and Chen Xinai enter the palace to have an audience."

"The minister leads the decree to thank you."

"Eunuch Song, I don't know what happened to the emperor's dismissal, why did he announce it to his family?" After Chen Bing received the decree, he stood up and immediately pulled off the jade pendant on his body, put it in his hands and quietly Handed it to Eunuch Song.

Eunuch Song refused to pick up the excellent warm jade as if he hadn't seen it, and said straightly, "I don't know what the so-called miscellaneous family is. You can also invite Lord Hou and this father-in-law to enter the palace. The emperor and the emperor are still waiting."
