Chapter 336 Chapter 336 Reconciliation

Chu Lingyu's heart was beating like a drum and his blood was boiling. He felt that the title seemed within reach.

He tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, and smiled at Kang Hongda attentively: "Master Kang is very busy, I really bother Master Kang!"

Chu Lingxiao was also ecstatic, wondering whether Chu Lingyu had followed Kang Hongda's path.

However, he thought that Kang Hongda came to pick him up because of the emperor's wishes. He felt that the emperor finally knew his loyalty and was going to reverse his case. He clasped his fists gratefully and said, "I will keep Mr. Kang's kindness in my heart."

Chu Lingxiao expressed his gratitude to Kang Hongda with a smile on his face, and asked Aunt Jiang to follow Chu Lingyu back to the Hou Mansion first, while he followed Kang Hongda into the palace.

Aunt Jiang's carriage did not turn around until Chu Lingxiao's back could no longer be seen. This time, the carriage naturally headed towards the Yongding Marquis Mansion.

It was only at this moment that Mrs. Shen, who was in the Yongding Hou Mansion, knew about Chu Lingxiao and Aunt Jiang's return to Beijing. She also told the news to Chu Qianchen, who was visiting the Hou Mansion today.

Chu Qianchen: "..."

Chu Qianchen didn't know about Chu Lingxiao's return before. During this period of time, Prince Chen's palace was busy with the prince, who had time to deal with the mere Chu Lingxiao, let alone Aunt Jiang.

Of course, the prince is the most important!

Mrs. Shen was afraid that her daughter would be affected by this incident, so she earnestly warned: "Although I don't know why the emperor recalled him to Beijing on a whim, I always feel a little uneasy."

"Sister Chen, if Chu Lingxiao dares to send people to come to you, you must ignore him, and let the prince ignore him too."

"You just need to worry about you and the prince now."

Mrs. Shen looked at her daughter sincerely and almost said, "You think you don't have such a father."

Chu Qianchen smiled slightly, his pupils clear and bright.

Only those who care will hate him to the core. To Chu Qianchen, Chu Lingxiao is just a piece of mouse excrement and is not worthy of her attention at all.

She said calmly: "Come back as soon as you come back, there's nothing wrong with it."

Immediately afterwards, she calmly uttered another sentence: "It is convenient for people to make peace with each other when they come back."

She quietly winked at Jiang Yuan and asked her to find out what was going on with Chu Lingxiao's sudden return to the capital. Jiang Yuan understood immediately and went out quietly.

Shen didn't answer Chu Qianchen's words. She lowered her eyes and picked up the tea cup. It was hard to tell whether she was surprised, angry or suspicious.

Grandma Chen, Dong Mei and others looked at Mrs. Shen worriedly, always feeling that Chu Lingxiao's return to Beijing would probably cause everything in the house to be quiet again, and the eldest lady's clean life would not last more than a few days!

Before the mother and daughter could exchange a few words, someone from Rongfu Hall came and sent a message to Madam: "Madam, Madam asked you to go to Rongfu Hall."

The round-faced maid who came to deliver the message was very nervous, fearing that Mr. Shen would not give her face and it would be difficult for her to explain when she returned.

really-

"I won't go." Shen refused coldly.

The round-faced maid's heart suddenly rose. She swallowed her saliva and was thinking about giving some advice when she heard Mrs. Shen say to Aunt Chen: "Bring the waist card and the pair of cards to Mrs. Bar."

Mrs. Shen also knew why Mrs. Tai was looking for her and was too lazy to waste her time dealing with Mrs. Tai and Aunt Jiang. Shen had no nostalgia for the middle-aged man in the Hou Mansion.

"..." The round-faced maid was half relieved. Although Mr. Shen refused to go with her, but she had the waist card and the right card to go to Rongfu Hall, she would have an explanation.

Grandma Chen responded to Shen's instructions with a smile, and quickly went to get the wooden box containing the waist cards and pairs of cards.

Not only did she not feel worthless for Shen, but she felt that her master had handed over a hot potato.

The middle feed of the Hou Mansion is not a good job!

When nothing happened to Chu Lingxiao, the Marquis Mansion had his salary as an errand and the Marquis's salary, but now both of them are gone.

Although the name Yongding Marquis Mansion has been retained for the time being, as long as no one inherits the title, the Ministry of Revenue will not pay the marquis' salary.

Moreover, in order to work for Chu Lingxiao last year, Mrs. Tai sold some of her property to clear things up. As a result, the Hou Mansion is now unable to make ends meet. The cash in the palace cannot support the monthly expenses of the mistress. Especially now that Mrs. Tai and each house have Not willing to cut costs yet.

Mrs. Shen mentioned the cost reduction several times a year ago, saying that the Hou Mansion was sitting on nothing but Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu and others would not listen at all. They would only mess around. Mrs. Liu also said that if you can't manage the house, then don't take care of the house. sarcastic remarks.

There were very few people in the Chu family who had a conscience, so Grandma Chen felt that there was no need for Shen to worry about these unfamiliar white-eyed wolves.

Grandma Chen personally went to Rongfu Hall, threw away her waist cards and pairs of cards, and returned to the main courtyard.

This time it didn't even take two cups of tea.

"Madam, when I just passed by, I saw Mrs. Jiang holding Aunt Jiang in her arms and crying. When I saw you passing by, I asked your servant, why didn't you go, Madam?"

"Oh, something is wrong!"

"My slave threw away the cards and the pair of cards, and came back on her own, regardless of whether the madam was angry or not."

The eldest maid Dongmei also went with Grandma Chen, and she felt that she was really angry just now. When Grandma Chen dropped her waist cards and pairs of cards, she also felt happy and relieved.

Mrs. Shen just listened and didn't worry about it at all. She would not be angry because of Mrs. Tai and Aunt Jiang. It was not worth it.

She turned around and urged Chu Qianchen: "You said Brother Yi is beaten every day?"

Mrs. Shen was a little surprised. As long as Chu Yunyi was in the capital, he would come to her every day to say hello, but she didn't see anything wrong with him at all.

"Yes." Chu Qianchen said matter-of-factly, "Haven't you heard a saying? To practice martial arts well, you must first learn to be beaten."

That being said, the actual meaning of this sentence is that people learn to avoid the key points.

"Brother Yi usually practices martial arts in the palace. In addition to practicing on his own, he also has to fight with other people. Whoever is free will fight with them. So far, he can't hold up ten moves against them."

"Now Yun Zhan is mainly taking him. He will follow Yun Zhan to the military camp three days a week."

"This kid is stubborn and he really managed to survive."

"Mom, if he doesn't come back one day, he's too tired to lie down. He might as well stay in the military camp."

Chu Qianchen said whatever he thought of, and casually told Shen some interesting stories about Chu Yunyi in the military camp.

Mrs. Shen listened and drank tea.

Shen also knew that Yunzhan was the fifth son of the Zhongyong family. He did not rely on his family, but relied on his own efforts. From an unpopular concubine in the family, he became a captain with military merit before he was twenty. He was very promising at a young age. .

Gu Jue arranged for Yun Zhan to guide Chu Yunyi, which was very thoughtful.

This arrangement is very good for Chu Yunyi.

Shen said jokingly: "You don't know. Brother Mu knows that Brother Yi can often go to Xuanjia Camp. It's disgusting. In the past few days, he has been pestering me to say that he also wants to go to the military camp. If it hadn't been for me Stop him, he has already rushed to the palace to pester you and the prince. "

Chu Qianchen was in a good mood and suggested very eloquently: "Mom, let Mu go back and stay with me for a few days."

Chu Qianchen blinked at Shen. As smart as she was, of course he understood what Shen meant.

Chu Lingxiao and Aunt Jiang are back. There will definitely be chaos in the Hou Mansion in the past two days, with demons dancing wildly. Chu Yunmu is young, and Mrs. Shen doesn't want him to have to experience these scandalous things at a young age, let alone what happened in March last year. .

"Brother Mu must be very happy." Shen raised her lips and smiled with a smile.

Although her daughter was not raised by her herself, she always had a close connection with her.

So, Dongmei personally went to pick up Chu Yunmu from the Clan Academy. When she went out, she heard Shen's voice coming from behind: "Sister Chen, we have to think about how to make an agreement with Brother Mu."

The mother and daughter excitedly discussed how to trick Chu Yunmu together.

Dongmei couldn't help laughing, the depression caused by Chu Lingxiao's return was swept away.

Just as Dongmei left, Jiang Yuan came back with her hind legs and passed by Dongmei at the entrance of the yard.

Jiang Yuan went directly back to Nuange and nodded slightly to Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianchen could tell that Jiang Yuan should have found something, so he said, "Tell me."

She had no intention of hiding it from Shen, so she signaled Jiang Yuan to just tell him.

Jiang Yuan then reported calmly: "Princess, the Emperor asked Jin Yiwei to send people to Youzhou to pick up Chu Lingxiao on New Year's Day. It should be Kang Hongda's idea."

"Kang Hongda?" Chu Qianchen raised his eyebrows, feeling surprised: Kang Hongda is not such a kind person, and he cannot do this for no reason. So, who did Chu Lingxiao use to get to Kang Hongda?

Chu Qianchen was just surprised and confused, but Shen was aware of it. His complexion changed drastically, his whole body was shaking like chaff, his eyes suddenly widened, and the whites of his eyes were blood red, as if he had been greatly stimulated.

Shen held a breath in her chest, her face turned livid, an uncomfortable feeling of nausea filled her heart, and her stomach tumbled.

She subconsciously covered her mouth.

Seeing that Mr. Shen's expression was wrong, the others around him were frightened and exclaimed:

"Madam!"

"mother!"

Chu Qianchen was also frightened, and his heart tightened. He remembered that Shen almost died last year because he was so angry that he vomited blood. Shen's body could not withstand another heavy injury.

"Mom, please calm down."

Chu Qianchen said softly, motioning to Amber to caress Shen's back. She quickly took out the golden needle and first pricked one needle into each of Shen's three large acupoints.

These three needles are very decisive and the effect is immediate.

After a while, Shen's face softened a lot, and her red eyes gradually became clear, but she was breathing heavily and panting heavily.

Aunt Chen brought a warm white towel to wipe Shen's face. Dongmei carefully fed her two sips of warm water until Shen's breathing calmed down. The two finally felt relieved and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. .

While Chu Qianchen was massaging the acupuncture points on Shen's hand, he asked Nanny Chen: "Nanny Chen, what's wrong? What's wrong with Kang Hongda?"

"..." Nanny Chen didn't dare to say anything casually. She hesitated to speak and looked in Shen's direction. She was afraid that Chu Qianchen's ears would be stained if she said this.

Mrs. Shen held a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, sighed, and said softly: "Kang Hongda must have fallen in love with Brother Yi." Mrs. Shen knew that she couldn't hide this from Chu Qianchen, so she simply said it herself. .

As she spoke, the disgusting emotion appeared in her eyes again, and there was also contempt for certain people.

Chu Qianchen was confused when he heard this. He didn't quite understand what Shen's words meant.

What does "falling in love with" mean?

Jiang Yuan saw that the princess didn't understand, so he leaned over and whispered in his ear: "It's just cutting off sleeves and dividing peaches." In other words, Long Yang's habit.

Chu Qianchen thought thoughtfully and understood a little.

Jiang Yuan didn't care how much Chu Qianchen understood, and continued: "Kang Hongda's hobby of cutting off his sleeves and dividing peaches is not a secret in the capital."

Jiang Yuan said it very simply, for fear of offending the princess's ears.

Chu Qianchen understood that Kang Hongda must have fallen in love with Chu Yunyi, just like Chu Lingxiao had fallen in love with Aunt Jiang.

"Kang Hongda will come forward, there must be someone who promises benefits." Chu Qianchen said slowly, "So, the Chu family gave Brother Yi to Kang Hongda as a benefit?"

When Chu Qianchen said this conclusion, she was also angry, shocked and angry, and then suddenly realized.

No wonder Mrs. Shen was so angry that she was extremely angry!

This kind of thing is too disgusting!

What did they take Chu Yunyi to be, and who in the Chu family was involved? ! Ms. Shen drank a few more sips of warm water and took several deep breaths. After the initial anger and shock, she quickly adjusted her mood and was now completely calm.

Seeing this, Chu Qianchen pulled out the three golden needles from Shen's body, thinking that when she went back, someone would send some soothing incense. It would be best for Shen to burn it for three nights when she went to bed, so that it could calm her nerves and calm her energy.

At this moment, someone came from Rongfu Hall again. This time, it was Grandma Wang, a close confidant of Mrs. Tai.

Grandma Wang said with an apologetic smile: "My eldest madam, the lord...the eldest sir is back. My madam asked you to come over."

Aunt Wang didn't mention Chu Qianchen. Firstly, the wife didn't mention Chu Qianchen. Secondly, she thought it would be better for Chu Qianchen not to go. After all, Chu Lingxiao hated this daughter.

Shen: “…”

Chu Qianchen: "..."

The mother and daughter looked at each other with complicated expressions.

Shen said quietly: "I'll go over after dressing up."

Mrs. Shen originally didn't want to pay attention to their family, but now...

Thinking of Chu Yunyi, Mrs. Shen thought it would be better for her to take a trip.

Grandma Wang felt relieved and returned to Rongfu Hall to resume her duties.

After half a cup of tea, Mrs. Shen calmed down and set off from the main courtyard. With her was Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianchen naturally wanted to do it for the Shen family. She could ignore the rest of the Chu family, but she couldn't ignore the Shen family, for fear that the Shen family would become extremely angry again.

Today's Rongfu Hall is very lively and full of joy.

Aunt Jiang was no longer there, but the two brothers Chu Lingxiao and Chu Lingyu, as well as the second wife Liu, were all there. The wife was so happy that the family was reunited, and she burst into tears.

When Chu Qianchen and Shen's mother and daughter arrived, Mrs. Tai had been crying for some time and her eyes were red.

Chu Lingxiao was kneeling in front of his wife. He was still wearing the old blue coarse cloth robe he wore when he entered the city. He was very haggard. However, because he had returned to the capital and met the emperor again, he felt that there was hope for his life again. , there was a sparkle in his eyes.

At this moment, Chu Lingxiao was beating her chest, wiping away tears, saying sadly, "My son is unfilial," and "My mother is worried about her son." Chu Lingyu went to help him again. It was like a loving mother and a filial son, which moved people to tears. scene.

Mrs. Liu held a handkerchief and pretended to wipe her tears, urging the madam not to cry and to take care of herself.

The warm atmosphere was interrupted by a voice coming from outside:

"Madam."

"Second aunt, grandma."

The salutes of the maids made everyone in the room fall silent.

Chu Lingxiao's expression changed immediately. With Chu Lingyu's help, he stood up and looked at Chu Qianchen.

At this moment, strong hatred burst out from his eyes.

When he was imprisoned in Tianlao, he always thought that Chu Qianchen framed him for Gu Jue and was deprived of his title and imprisoned. It was not until later that he was sentenced to exile and on the way to Youzhou, Aunt Jiang had the opportunity to see him in private. He also told him that Chu Qianchen's life experience had been revealed, and Mrs. Shen also knew about it.

Only then did Chu Lingxiao realize that Chu Qianchen hated him as his biological father, hated him for giving her to Aunt Jiang, and hated him for turning her from a legitimate daughter into a concubine.

This unfilial and rebellious girl actually hated her biological father. She was just like her biological mother, an immature and heartless person!

Chu Lingxiao wanted to scold and rebuke, but in the end he endured it and moved his eyes to Shen again, his eyes even colder.

Mrs. Cai's sigh just now was still in his ears: "Ling Xiao, you are finally back!"

"That daughter-in-law of yours, I advised your father not to climb such a high branch back then..."

"But everything is going well with the family. You have a son and a daughter. For the sake of the children and the Marquis Mansion, you will bow your head to your wife later."

Thinking about Mrs. Tai's words, Chu Lingxiao felt resentful in his heart, feeling that what Chu Lingyu said before was indeed true. Because she is not in the house, this **** Shen Zhi is going to be upset!

Under the scorching eyes in the room, Chu Qianchen helped Shen sit down, and then sat down himself. Neither mother nor daughter greeted Mrs. Tai and Chu Lingxiao.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier that separated their mother and daughter from other people, forming two distinct groups.

The madam pressed the corner of her eyes with her handkerchief again and spoke first: "Azhi, why did you ask someone to bring the waist card and the pair of cards? I think you should take them back. You can take care of the house, I can rest assured."

What Mrs. Tai thought was that Chu Lingxiao was finally back, and that he and the Shen family would be reconciled as before, and that the Hou Mansion would also be in harmony, so she tried to ease the conflict between Chu Lingxiao and the Shen family.

After all, everything goes well with family.

For this reason, Mrs. Tai suppressed her dissatisfaction with Mr. Shen and consciously and generously stopped caring about Mr. Shen's behavior in the past few months.

However, in Chu Lingxiao's eyes, this was tantamount to verifying his guess. During his absence, the Shen family was simply lawless. Mrs. Tai, the mother-in-law, will be oppressed by Mrs. Shen, the daughter-in-law.

Chu Lingxiao's eyes turned colder.

Even with her toes, Mrs. Shen could tell what the mother and son were thinking. The disgust in her heart was so strong that it overflowed. She didn't give the lady any face, and said coldly: "The Hou Mansion is sitting on nothing now, I'll try my best to I want to increase revenue and reduce expenditure for the Hou Mansion, but instead make others think that I have selfish motives and do things secretly behind my back. In this case, I won’t serve you anymore.”

"Whoever cares can do it!"

Mrs. Shen knew very well that the reason why Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Liu strongly opposed the reduction of expenditure was that they were reluctant to let go of their previous life, and on the other hand they expected to use their dowry to support the whole family.

Mrs. Shen wouldn't be that stupid. People like Mrs. Tai, Chu Lingxiao and Chu Lingyu are blood leeches, they only know how to **** blood and don't remember it well.

The wife seemed to have been slapped, her face was a little embarrassed, and she said with a smile: "Azhi, Ling Xiao hasn't been back for a day, we are not sure whether this can be done, and we also want to give you a surprise."

"Surprise?" Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows and smiled, wise and sassy, ​​elegant and proud, as beautiful as the blooming rose.

So beautiful, so delicate.

However, roses have thorns, and Chu Lingxiao was made uncomfortable all over by the thorns.

"Bold!" He took a step forward. Standing in a condescending manner, he pointed at Mrs. Shen and yelled, "You are such an unfilial daughter-in-law, how dare you speak to your mother-in-law like this! You..."

Mrs. Shen grabbed the teacup with one hand and threw it towards Chu Lingxiao without thinking, interrupting Chu Lingxiao's words.

Shen's movements were too fast. Even though Chu Lingxiao was a martial arts practitioner, he took a step aside. The shattered porcelain pieces on the ground and the splashing tea still stained the corners of his robe and shoes. .

The tea that had just been served was piping hot, and it penetrated the uppers of his shoes, making Chu Lingxiao's face change greatly.

Facing Chu Lingxiao's sinister eyes, Shen's face was as cold as ice, and she said in a cold voice: "If you want to call me here, tell me quickly! When you finish talking, I also have something to say."

Her eyes lightly swept over Chu Lingxiao and Mrs. Tai, as if they were rats hiding in the gutter. They were the most disgusting existences in the world.

That look was like adding fuel to the fire, making Chu Lingxiao feel extremely angry.

"You...why are you crazy!" Chu Lingxiao said angrily, almost shouting at the end of his voice.

Originally, he wanted to listen to Mrs. Shen and plan to tolerate Mrs. Shen and reconcile with her, but she was too pushy!

Mrs. Shen was also frightened by Shen's action just now. Her face turned pale and her breathing became rapid.

Ms. Liu frowned with a dark face, feeling that Ms. Shen was simply crazy.

Shen gave a cold smile, so cold that there was no trace of warmth: "It seems that you have finished speaking, and it is my turn to speak."

Under everyone's surprised and uncertain gazes, Mrs. Shen continued: "Let's make peace. From now on, Brother Mu and Sister Chen belong to me."

Her voice was neither soft nor strong, neither fast nor slow.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked, even Grandma Chen looked at Mrs. Shen in shock.

The room fell into an eerie silence, so quiet that one could even hear breathing.

Everyone was stunned with shock. On the contrary, Shen's expression was very calm.

From the outside to the inside, he is equally calm, calm and calm.

Her eyes seemed bright and deep.

She has made her decision.

Originally, for the sake of Chu Yunmu and Chu Qianchen, Mrs. Shen did not intend to reconcile.

Her two children are her darlings. For them, she can have unlimited courage. She doesn't want their siblings to be criticized because of her reconciliation with Chu Lingxiao, and she doesn't want to take away what should belong to Chu Yunmu. The title was handed over to others.

She kept telling herself that she could just live her life like this.

When Chu Yunmu grows up, she will sort out the messy people in the house. As for Chu Lingxiao, she will let him live in exile for the rest of his life, and their family can live a good life.

But now, Shen has changed his mind.

The Chu family's behavior really disgusted her.

As long as she thought of the Chu family and Kang Hongda reaching some kind of "hidden" agreement secretly, Shen felt sick.

Did Mrs. Tai, Chu Lingyu, Mrs. Liu, and Chu Lingxiao all know that Kang Hongda "had a crush on" Chu Yunyi?

The answer emerged naturally -

Know.

They know it.

Even if Chu Lingxiao didn't know it before arriving in the capital, he probably knows it now...

Thinking of this, Shen's heart was filled with an overwhelming feeling of nausea.

She was now so disgusted that she felt like vomiting when she saw their family, let alone staying in the same room with them.

She couldn't stay in this place any longer.

This place couldn't be called a home at all. She couldn't let her brother Mu grow up in such a dirty place.

"Let's make peace." Shen said again.

His voice and expression were firmer than before.

The daughter was right, even a child like Chu Yunyi could work so hard for his future, and her brother Mu could do the same.

Her brother Mu doesn't care about this disgusting title!

She thinks it's dirty!

Chu Qianchen seemed to know what Shen was thinking, and slightly raised his lower lip. His phoenix eyes were clear and cold, and his aura was compelling. Apart from Shen, she was the calmest person.

The madam finally came to her senses and said anxiously: "Ah Zhi, why do you say this? Why do we want to divorce!"

The madam was about to cry and was so upset.

With great difficulty, Chu Lingxiao came back from Youzhou. From now on, they just want to live a good life as a couple. Why is the Shen family about to get divorced?
