Chapter 359 Chapter 359 Separation

Years of military career have made Yun Zhan grow up a lot. He is no longer the young man who insisted on joining the army in the North just because of his passion.

He understood the ways of the world and learned how to look at people. He clearly noticed it just now. When Aunt Sun arrived in a hurry, his father breathed a sigh of relief.

As the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black.

Yun Zhan has followed Gu Jue for so many years. Even if he is stupid, there is an old fox named Su Mubai beside him, so he can understand more or less.

The Yun family must have some plans for him.

Yun Zhan looks calm, but his thoughts are spinning rapidly.

First, Yunhao provoked him on the road today, then his father was "accidentally" injured by him, then the father and son sang together just now, and now Aunt Sun came at just the right time.

This series of timings is so coincidental.

Yun Zhan's eyes gently glanced at Aunt Sun's red and swollen eyes from crying. His aunt remained the same, she had no independent opinions and was always easily coaxed.

His eyes slowly moved to Bo Zhongyong in front of him, and asked straight to the point: "Father, what exactly do you want to do?"

He addressed him as "you" instead of "you", and only regarded Uncle Zhongyong as an equal, not as an elder.

"..." Uncle Zhongyong's eyes were filled with uncertainty.

It had been nearly an hour since they came back. Yun Zhan finally asked. Although the tone was not kind, it was enough for Uncle Zhongyong.

Yunzhan asked, so that they would not be at a disadvantage at the beginning. It was because Yunzhan wanted something from them, not that they wanted something from Yunzhan.

Uncle Zhongyong composed himself and asked instead of answering: "Azhan, how are you doing in Prince Chen's Mansion now? I heard that Prince Chen thinks highly of you."

Yun Zhan looked at Uncle Zhongyong with a half-smile but said nothing, but his calm eyes revealed a hint of sharpness that could see through people's hearts.

Uncle Zhongyong felt a little guilty when Yun Zhan saw him, but he was not angry. He continued in an orderly manner: "Now His Royal Highness, King Chen, is trapped in the capital. Although he has military power, it is only the tens of thousands on the west mountain."

"Azhan, you are under the command of King Chen. You may say you are leading the troops, but you only train all day long. What future do you have? You are also old, you are already twenty-three. You have to think about yourself... Your aunt, please think about it.”

Uncle Zhongyong said while observing Yun Zhan's expression.

Hearing his father mention his aunt, Yun Zhan's eyebrows moved slightly, seeming a little moved.

"..." Aunt Sun looked at Yun Zhan expectantly, but hesitated to speak, wanting to persuade but not daring to do so. Her son has grown up and has his own opinions. She is just a woman.

Uncle Zhongyong saw the subtle change in Yun Zhan's expression and felt that something was wrong. He breathed a sigh of relief and softened his tone a little: "A Zhan, my father is getting older, so I will consider giving your brothers a few separate families. If so, If you want, you can take your aunt out of the house."

At this time, the three brothers were stunned.

Brothers Yunli and Yunhao naturally stood on the same front and exchanged glances with each other. Yunli signaled Yunhao to be calm.

Zhongyongbo’s words were completely unexpected.

After all, Uncle Zhongyong is not dead yet. Basically all the nobles abide by the general principle of "no separation of families while parents are alive". However, Uncle Zhongyong not only proposed to separate the family in advance, but also asked Yunzhan to take Aunt Sun away. No one expected that .

Also includes Yunzhan.

For so many years, the reason why Yun Zhan has been constrained by the Yun family and cannot let go is because Aunt Sun and her daughter are still in the Yun family.

His sister will get married in the next year or two. If he can take Aunt Sun away, from now on, the Yun family will have nothing to worry about...

This will definitely be attractive to Yunzhan.

Uncle Zhongyong understood this, and so could brothers Yunli and Yunhao. Yunhao frowned deeply and felt unhappy: He thought he could use this incident to teach Yun Zhan a lesson, but the current situation It was completely different from what he expected!

Thinking of his right arm being crippled by King Chen because of Yun Zhan, Yun Hao felt a fire rising in his heart. Until now, his right hand is not fully healed. He can barely write, but he can't hold the knife tightly, so he has to use his left hand to wield the knife and gun.

In the hall, several Yun family members had different thoughts.

Uncle Zhongyong stared at Yunzhan with deep eyes, and said again and again: "But how can I rest assured when you are like this?!"

"Actually, you should know that you seem to be prosperous now, but in fact your future is bleak."

"I am your father, so I can tell you these sincere words."

He spoke with a high-sounding tone and a coaxing flavor. He looked at the girl in pink clothes again, wondering if Yun Zhan's sister should also persuade him.

In the hall, Uncle Zhongyong talked non-stop, echoing the sound of the wind rustling the branches and leaves outside the hall.

Several birds fluttered their wings and flew through the air in twos and threes, either chasing, looking for food, or playing, and flew over the high wall of the uncle's mansion.

Outside the uncle's house, Chu Yunyi knocked on the door of the uncle's house a few more times.

When he was hesitant to kick open the door, he heard Gu Jue say from behind: "Let's go."

Shen Qianchen understood what Gu Jue meant, but Chu Yunyi didn't. He turned back to the two of them and couldn't help but ask: "Brother-in-law, we are leaving now, what will happen to brother Yunzhan?"

Chu Yunyi looked back at the closed door of the uncle's residence, and saw that no one answered the door, and his heart skipped a beat.

Until now, Chu Yunyi still clearly remembers the scene near the west city gate just now. Yun Hao angrily accused Yun Zhan of wanting to kill his father because the sword was used and blood was seen, which also attracted many passers-by to watch. Those passers-by didn't care what was right and wrong, they just pointed at Yunzhan's nose and scolded him for being unfilial and hurting his biological father.

Later, Yun Zhan was taken away by Zhong Yong Bo and Yun Hao and his son. The situation at that time scared Chu Yunyi to a certain extent.

As the saying goes, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite.

He had known that Yun Zhan's life in the Yun family was not easy, but he saw it with his own eyes today.

Like him, although he is a concubine, his aunt Shen Zhi treats him well, his father treats him lovingly, and he gets along well with his brother Shen Yunmu. He has never felt such treatment as Yun Zhan.

No matter what the reason was, it was a fact that Yun Zhan injured Uncle Zhongyong today. This was a huge handle.

The Yun family grasped this, which meant they had Yun Zhan in the palm of their hands. They told Yun Zhan to live or die if they wanted him.

The Yun family has gained a lot of righteousness this time. Chu Yunyi pinned all his hopes on Gu Jue. Now seeing that Gu Jue is leaving, he becomes more and more worried about Yun Zhan: Brother-in-law will not leave Yun Zhan alone.

At this time, Shen Qianchen stretched out his hand from the window of the carriage and waved to Chu Yunyi, signaling him to lower his head.

"..." Chu Yunyi didn't know why and bowed his head obediently.

Shen Qianchen smoothly rubbed the top of Chu Yunyi's hair twice and said, "Brother Yun Zhan is in his twenties."

Chu Yunyi: "..."

Chu Yunyi originally thought that Shen Qianchen had something to say quietly, but he didn't expect that she would touch his head. His body stiffened and his face looked a little unnatural.

He is not that six-year-old kid like Shen Yunmu!

Seeing that he was still not convinced, Shen Qianchen raised the corners of his lips in a funny way and said, "You look down on your brother Yun Zhan too much. If he really wants to come out, no one in this uncle's family can stop him."

While talking, Shen Qianchen glanced at a big tree outside the high wall in front of him without trace. The tree crown was like a canopy, the branches and leaves were swaying in the wind, and there seemed to be a gray shadow flashing between the dense branches and leaves.

Mo Chen has already gone to the uncle's house to check, and Yunzhan is safe.

Chu Yunyi, who had his back to the tree crown, was completely unaware and still hesitated: "But..."

He was afraid that Bo Zhongyong would chop off Yun Zhan's hand.

"rest assured."

Shen Qianchen interrupted Chu Yunyi, and the next moment, Gu Jue said calmly: "Brother Yi, do you think Yun Zhan is a person who will let others do what he wants?"

Chu Yunyi thought for a while and shook his head: "No."

"That's right." Shen Qianchen stretched out her finger and flicked his forehead, and said with a smile, "You have to believe Yun Zhan."

Shen Qianchen felt that Chu Yunyi was still a little kid after all. He had not experienced much, and the twelve-year-old boy was still young!

The reason why they made this trip was to see what Uncle Zhongyong and the Yun family were planning. If they planned to bring this matter to Jingzhao Mansion, then Gu Jue could come forward.

If Uncle Zhongyong really wanted to chop off Yun Zhan's arm as he claimed, then Yun Zhan would have run out long ago, and he would not be stupid enough to let Uncle Zhongyong chop off his arm.

Yun Zhan is not a man who knows how to make any moves, and he no longer owes the Yun family anything. A year ago, if she hadn't taken action, Yun Zhan would have died in Yun Hao's hands. At that time, Uncle Zhong Yong chose to protect Yun Hao. From that moment on, Yun Zhan was equivalent to giving his life back to the Yun family.

Another reason why Gu Jue and Shen Qianchen came here was because they were afraid that if Uncle Zhongyong played some dirty trick, Yun Zhan would not be able to guard against it.

"..." Chu Yunyi pursed her thin lips slightly and nodded thoughtfully.

Originally, he didn't understand why Gu Jue made this trip in vain and why he didn't help Yun Zhan, but after listening to Shen Qianchen's analysis, he suddenly realized that this was a kind of trust.

After all, this matter is Yunzhan's housework. Since Yunzhan can handle it, Gu Jue will not interfere. The Chen Palace has Yunzhan's backing, but will not interfere with Yunzhan excessively.

But what if it was yourself? !

Chu Yunyi's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but reflect on himself.

If it were him, he would definitely ask his sister Shen Qianchen to help him, just like what happened to Kang Hongda. However, he was still so naive that he knew nothing about it. I was afraid that he would be betrayed by his grandmother, father and second uncle. Still counting money for them!

Thinking of his grandmother, father and second uncle, Chu Yunyi felt chilled and disappointed again. In addition, he also felt a little bit envious.

Can he be like Yun Zhan, and become a truly upright man, someone who can be trusted, and someone who can make his sister, brother-in-law and aunt feel reliable?

"I wasn't much better than you before." Yun Zhan's self-deprecating voice sounded in Chu Yunyi's ears.

Chu Yunyi clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind: since Brother Yunzhan can do it, so can he. Waiting for tomorrow, he will tell Brother Yun Zhan that he can train a little more, and there must be no chance of that little kid Shen Yunmu catching up.

He is a little brat and his brother will always be his brother!

So, Chu Yunyi didn't say anything more and got on the horse.

After stopping for a cup of tea, the group of them returned to Prince Chen's Mansion along the same route. Chu Yunyi, who had been resting for the day, ran to the school grounds to practice martial arts by himself.

On this day, Yun Zhan didn't return to Prince Chen's Mansion until late at night. Shen Qianchen didn't hear about his return until the next day. However, neither Shen Qianchen nor Gu Jue pretended to know about it, and no one took the initiative to ask Yun Zhan about it. Things about the Yun family.

When Shen Qianchen went out early the next morning, he greeted Yun Zhan face to face and then went out separately.

The two of them were heading in opposite directions. Yun Zhan rode westward to Fengtai Camp, while Shen Qianchen went to Shen's house on Wuqing Street.

Shen's house was not far away, the carriage drove slowly and leisurely, and it arrived at its destination in less than two cups of tea.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Jiang Yuan's voice came from outside the carriage: "Princess, we're here." The person driving the carriage today was Jiang Yuan.

Hu Bo got out of the car first and planned to knock on the door. However, Shen Qianchen opened a corner of the curtain and casually glanced out. His eyes and hands stopped.

Ahead, the vermilion door of Shen's residence opened, and Shen Qianchen saw Shen Zhi in a lake-colored dark-patterned jacket standing at the threshold. Next to Shen Zhi, standing shoulder to shoulder with her was a tall figure who looked familiar.

Pei Linye? Shen Qianchen raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he didn't expect Pei Linye to be here.

Pei Linye, who is wearing a green straight skirt, is tall and tall, a head taller than Shen Zhi, and has a calm and resolute temperament.

He was holding Shen Yunmu easily in his arms, and Shen Yunmu was pointing hard at the door with a chubby finger, his mouth opening and closing, not knowing what he was saying.

As he spoke, Shen Yunmu turned his head and looked out the door.

He was standing high now and had a good field of vision. He glanced around and inadvertently saw Shen Qianchen in the carriage. A smile suddenly appeared on his puffy face, and he shouted happily: "Sister!"

Then, Shen Zhi also looked at Shen Qianchen, her eyebrows curved in a happy arc, and she called out: "Sister Chen!"

Since Shen Zhi was here, Shen Qianchen got off the carriage directly outside the gate.

Shen Yunmu took a moment to realize that he was still being held. He felt that this was detrimental to his tall and majestic image in the eyes of his sister, so he patted Pei Linye on the shoulder to signal him to put him down.

Pei Linye leaned over and put the boy on the ground.

"Sister, you're here!" Shen Yunmu didn't wait to stand still, and flew towards his sister like a swallow returning to its nest. He was so excited that he forgot his feet for a moment, so his right foot was lifted high The threshold shook, and my short, fat body fell forward...

"Brother Mu!"

Shen Zhi's expression changed, she took a step forward, and rushed to help Shen Yunmu. At the same time, Pei Linye also took action.

He is a martial arts practitioner, so his movements are naturally faster and more agile than Shen Zhi's, and he accurately grabbed Shen Yunmu's left upper arm.

The next moment, Shen Zhi also grabbed Shen Yunmu's upper right arm.

The "little sloppy" Shen Yunmu was clamped by two people one on the left and one on the right. He looked a little embarrassed, but he finally stood firm and avoided falling.

Pei Linye immediately let go of Shen Yunmu, and when he stopped, he rubbed the top of his head and ruffled his hair, as if he was admonishing, but also like an elder doting on a younger one.

Shen Yunmu stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, chuckled, and tried to get through.

He has a lively and naughty temperament. He is just an active naughty child who gets into trouble from time to time, but he has a good attitude towards admitting his mistakes and is good-looking.

Many people really can't get angry when a cute and cute little kid smiles sweetly at you.

"You kid, you are so reckless!" Shen Zhi scolded lightly and smiled at Pei Linye, meaning it was a joke.

The two looked at each other, and time seemed to freeze for a moment. Then Pei Linye raised his lips and smiled, with a light smile and said nothing.

At this time, Shen Qianchen, who got off the carriage, also walked to the gate.

"Princess." Pei Linye bowed his hands to Shen Qianchen in a decent manner, with a friendly and generous smile.

Before Shen Qianchen could ask, Shen Yunmu said first, "Sister, someone broke down our door in the middle of the night last night!"

"Follow me," Shen Yunmu took Shen Qianchen's right hand, crossed the threshold, raised his other hand, and pointed to the door that opened in front, "Look, these are the ones that were chopped out last night!"

There were seven or eight deep and shallow knife marks on the red lacquered door. They were as ferocious as the scratches of wild beasts, which made people feel horrified to see them.

Shen Qianchen narrowed his eyes slightly and wrinkled his pretty and delicate eyebrows.

Shen Yunmu held her head high and chirped like a sparrow: "Sister, I wasn't afraid last night. I was always with my mother!"

"I also prepared a bow and arrow at that time. Hum, if that bad guy dares to come in, I will shoot him to death with one arrow!"

“…”

Shen Yunmu looked fierce. He felt that as a man, he had to protect his family and his mother.

Shen Qianchen looked at Shen Zhi, his insightful eyes seemed to see through her heart, and said, "Mom, are you planning to hide it from me?" She hit the nail on the head.

Shen Zhi: "..."

Shen Zhi was speechless for a moment.

She thought it was a trivial matter and really didn't plan to tell Shen Qianchen or Duke Mu's mansion about it. She didn't want Shen Qianchen to suddenly visit without telling her today.

Seeing that she couldn't hide it from Shen Qianchen, Shen Zhi said: "Sister Chen, it's okay. I asked Nanny Chen to report to Jingzhao Mansion early this morning."

In fact, she didn't tell Pei Linye about this either, but...

"Your cousin heard about Nanny Chen going to Jingzhao Mansion to report to the official, so she came over to ask."

With that said, Shen Zhi looked at Pei Linye who was a few steps away. She knew how well-informed Jin Yiwei was in the capital.

Grandma Chen was also filled with indignation and complained angrily from the side: "I don't know who does this kind of thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself!"

Thinking about last night, she still felt scared, and wondered whether she should mention to Madam that maybe Shen Qianchen could borrow some guards from Prince Chen's palace.

Shen Qianchen stared intently at this miserable door, his pupils dark.

Just as Shen Zhi was about to say something, Shen Qianchen asked, "Could it be Chu Lingxiao?"

Shen Qianchen didn't see any evidence from the door. She just guessed that because this kind of thing was harmful to others and not self-interested, it was most likely to vent her anger. The person who hated Shen Zhi the most was probably Chu Lingxiao.

Shen Zhi leaned over and straightened Shen Yunmu's messy front, and then said: "Jingzhao Mansion found out that he is a gangster. He has been caught and is now in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion."

"Jing Zhaoyin said, maybe the ruffian saw that a woman lives here."

This kind of thing is not uncommon. From the nobles to the common people, there are many people who bully the weak and fear the strong. Sometimes they are malicious for no reason, sometimes they are angry, and sometimes they vent their emotions.

Pei Linye stared at Shen Zhi, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it.

Shen Qianchen looked away from the door, but in a flash, there was a smile on her face again, and she said to Shen Zhi: "Mom, I came today to invite you and Brother Mu to go for an outing together."

"I promised Brother Mu and Qiniang before. I just have some free time these days and I want to take them for a walk. Mom, do you want to go?"

"Go." Shen Zhiyan smiled and nodded with an open mind, as if the fact that the door was damaged did not leave any trace in her heart.

In an instant, Chen Yunmu's eyes were as bright as gems, and he nodded hurriedly: "Go! Let's go together!"

Pei Linye clenched his fists and finally said: "There has been chaos in the capital recently. It's not safe for you to go out."

Shen Qianchen: "..."

Her first reaction was, did Pei Linye think it was inappropriate for them to leave the city recently?

The next moment, I heard Pei Linye continue: "Why don't I go with you? I just have a rest."

Shen Qianchen: "..."

Shen Qianchen tilted his face, always feeling that something was wrong. She didn't even say when she was going, but he just said he was going to take a break. Are you really sure?

"Mom!" Shen Yunmu's eyes brightened even more. He looked up at Shen Zhi expectantly, grabbed her wrist, and shook it coquettishly.

Shen Zhi lowered her eyes and looked at Shen Yunmu, then raised her eyes to Pei Linye, her eyes moving.

Seeing that his mother was in a good mood, Shen Qianchen decided resolutely: "Then let's go together."

Pei Linye breathed a sigh of relief, and a soft smile appeared in his eyes. The raised corners of his lips made him look several years younger, and there was a faint glow in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.

"..." Shen Zhi originally thought it was not good, but her daughter agreed, so she acquiesced.

Chen Yunmu was so happy that he almost jumped up. He wanted to hug his sister's thigh, but felt that this would be detrimental to his image as Young Master Mu!

He asked happily: "When will we go?"

As soon as this question came up, Shen Zhi was startled, and then she realized that Pei Linye had just said that he would take a break without knowing which day he was going to go out, and looked at him again.

The two looked at each other silently, one was dignified and as gentle as a willow, the other was as calm as a rock.

When their eyes met, there was a vague atmosphere in the air that others could not integrate into.

"..." Pei Linye's eyes froze, and he looked away first, his face expressionless, but his eyes seemed a little guilty and a little embarrassed.

Shen Zhi chuckled lightly but said nothing.

Seeing that Shen Zhi didn't answer her, Shen Yunmu asked Shen Qianchen again: "Sister, when are you going?"

"In three days." Shen Qianchen said with a smile, "Your brother-in-law said it was a good day."

She has already thought about where to go. They can go walking horses, climbing mountains, collecting herbs, hunting, digging some wild orchids... If one day is not enough, they can also stay one night in a village on the outskirts of Beijing. She remembers her mother and the prince. There are Zhuangzi in the western suburbs.

Pei Linye raised his eyes and looked at the cloudless blue sky. His eyebrows became softer and he agreed with a smile: "The weather will be good in the next few days, which is perfect for going out for an outing."

Pei Linye has been in the army for more than ten years and knows a little bit about celestial phenomena.

Shen Yunmu also subconsciously raised his head to look at the blue sky, touched his chin with one hand, and asked curiously: "Cousin, are you as good at observing the sky as your brother-in-law?"

"I know a little bit." Pei Linye smiled and nodded, "Not as good as your brother-in-law."

He has been in the army for more than ten years and knows a little bit about astronomical phenomena.

Shen Yunmu thought that his mother had told him that he should eat his food little by little, so he decided to pay homage to the master in front of him first. He blinked his eyes expectantly and flatteringly and said, "Cousin, please teach me in the future!" Hehe, he You must learn it first before your elder brother, and next time you go to your elder brother to show off!

"Okay!" Pei Linye rubbed Shen Yunmu's head.

It was not convenient for him to stay longer, so he immediately said to Shen Zhi: "Cousin, I have informed Jingzhao Mansion and Wucheng Military and Horse Division that they will visit here more often when they patrol in the future. You might as well ask the Duke's Mansion Let’s get some more guards.”

Pei Linye looked at Shen Zhi solemnly, his eyes deep.

Shen Zhi knew that if she dared to refuse, not to mention Pei Linye, her daughter Shen Qianchen would have to send the palace guards to Shen's residence. She knew what was good and what was good, she nodded in agreement with a smile, and glanced at the scarred door again.

Regardless of whether Chu Lingxiao did this or not, she was convinced that there must be an instigator behind that ruffian. This person had ill intentions towards her, so it was right to be more careful.
