Chu Liuchen walked slowly inside, elegant and noble.
When he reached Shao Wanru, he slowly turned his head, reached out and took Shao Wanru's hand, and walked a few steps towards Shao Jing. His narrow eyes were slightly raised, a lazy smile appeared on the corners of his lips, and his eyes were as dark as ink. : "The Marquis of Xingguo is... going to take action with me?"
He waved his hand, and the guards of Prince Chen's Mansion retreated.
Seeing Chu Liuchen, Shao Jing felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured on his head. He woke up from the beginning to the end. He also signaled his people to step back, calmed down and saluted Chu Liuchen: "I have seen His Highness King Chen. .”
"Did my princess offend Marquis Xingguo?" Chu Liuchen asked curiously.
"No... no, I just went too far. I hope Princess Chen will forgive me." Shao Jing lowered his head and apologized to Shao Wanru.
"Second uncle, I went too far just now!" Shao Wanru said softly, with a gentle look, but there was no trace of his previous strength.
"Since it's not my wife's fault, then what does Xingguohou mean? Is it because I don't like my princess? If this is really the case, Xingguohou still tells me, and I will definitely ask the princess to apologize to Xingguohou ." Chu Liuchen's face turned cold, and his handsome face was gloomy. It was completely different from the warm expression just now, as if he had changed into a different person in an instant.
I had long heard that this Prince Chen was moody. One moment it was sunny and sunny, and the next moment it could be bloody. Shao Jing really regretted it. Why did he get so excited at that time that he started fighting with the guards of Prince Chen's Mansion? Woolen cloth.
"Your Majesty, my father just got angry because he was deceived, so he took action against the people of Prince Chen's palace. I hope your lord will forgive my father for being deceived." Shao Hua'an came over and bowed to Chu Liuchen and said.
Just now, he and Zhao Xiran had been standing behind and didn't come up to persuade them, but now they couldn't stand anymore and came forward to explain.
"Being cheated? Who?" Chu Liuchen raised his handsome eyebrows, and his expression actually softened again, as if he wasn't the one with the gloomy look just now.
"It's this woman. She said she was the Censor's daughter before. After her father let her into the mansion, she discovered that she was actually a liar. She was actually a maid. She also wanted to pretend to be the Censor's daughter, and wanted to enter the Xingguo Marquis' Mansion and replace her. Mother's position." Shao Hua'an lowered his head, looking very sad. His biological mother had just passed away, and his father was about to let another woman into the house. As a son, he was naturally angry.
But no matter what if he gets angry again, he can't go against his father!
"Fake daughter?" Chu Liuchen raised his eyebrows and looked at E Niang who had been trembling.
"It's fake, she's just a maid." Shao Hua'an's face was pale and a little angry. Everyone would be angry if such a thing happened.
"Then take the person away. The Ministry of Punishment handles a lot of things like this!" Chu Liuchen gently ordered. This kind of matter should indeed be handled by the Ministry of Punishment.
"Everything depends on the prince's orders!" Shao Huaan took two steps back and held out his hand as a courtesy.
Two guards came over and pulled E Niang down. E Niang was still trying to struggle, but Shao Jing's eyes fell hard on her. She stared so hard that she didn't dare to move. She followed the two guards and went down obediently.
"Has the genealogy matter been settled?" Chu Liuchen asked Shao Wanru this time.
"It will be fine soon. The third uncle's room has been divided. There was no need to worry about this woman now." Shao Wanru replied softly.
"Marquis Xingguo, can we start?" Chu Liuchen nodded and looked at Shao Jing, "I will also take the princess with me.
Enter the palace to see the royal grandmother. "
"Okay, okay, right away!" Shao Jing said hurriedly, now eager for the two of them to leave.
The next thing will be much simpler. Without E Niang's matter, other things are nothing. Shao Jing is very well-behaved now. He is not very well-behaved. He does not dare to say more words or ask more questions for fear of If he accidentally offends this Prince Chen, he will be ruthless. He really doesn't dare to offend this prince.
The frightened clan elders did not dare to say anything more. They asked for a family tree, changed all the three branches of the family to side branches, and invited a few sticks of incense in front of the ancestral tablet. After kneeling and worshiping, this matter Even if it’s over.
After Shao Wanru followed the process once, she asked Chu Liuchen to go to Piaoyun Courtyard to wait while she went to the Third Lady's Courtyard.
The third lady was still lying on the bed, but she was in good spirits. Seeing Shao Wanru come in, she forced herself to sit up, and Shao Wanru reached out to support her.
"Third Aunt, please lie down first!"
The third lady lay down again, and the others in the room retreated.
"Third Aunt, Grandma Xunli has already selected a few candidates, and will have Grandma Gao send them to your new home soon. Third Aunt can choose two suitable ones to betrothal for Third Sister and Fourth Sister. These people None of them are from a noble family, but fortunately they have a clean financial background and good personal qualities. If they want to get married, they should be about the same age as the third and fourth sisters."
In other words, if you want to get married in a hurry, that’s okay.
"Thank you, thank you Princess Chen!" The third lady was about to shed tears. This time, she originally thought that she would not get many good things from the split she proposed, but because of Shao Wanru's suggestion, the third bedroom got it. Far more than she imagined, this would make Shao Wanru both grateful and sad.
"Third Aunt, you don't have to be polite. This was originally our deal, but that's all." Shao Wanru said.
The third lady nodded to express her understanding. What happened back then was like a thorn in her heart. Even though the third lady did not kill her father and mother, she could guess some of it and just watched from the side.
In the last life, Sanfang also watched him die, right
She is not a saint. She has never been a saint. Not only is she not a saint, but she is also a cold-natured person who cannot have any grudge against the third wife.
What was done before was a transaction and had nothing to do with the blood relationship between the two families.
In fact, it is best to separate the third house at this time. Xingguohou Mansion is about to sink. Anyone who has anything to do with Xingguohou Mansion will sink and be destroyed...
After coming out of the third lady's courtyard, she did not go back directly to Piaoyun Courtyard, but went to Quhuan Courtyard, the courtyard where her father and mother used to be. The shadow wall recorded the process of her father practicing calligraphy from childhood to adulthood. There were also pictures of her father, There are traces of my mother's loving life here, but they are just traces.
My nose feels sour. Everything here must have been destroyed in the previous life!
If Shao Huaan moved in, he would definitely destroy everything here. She felt inexplicably sad in her heart. She stood alone in front of the screen wall with her head raised for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Chu Liuchen's voice came from behind her ears, and her body fell into a generous embrace. The familiar breath made her relax.
"If Xingguohou's Mansion is destroyed, will there still be one here?" Shao Wanru suddenly asked, her eyes still falling on this shadow wall. She couldn't let go of the entire Xingguohou Mansion the most.
What she got was not her Piaoyun Courtyard, but this Quhuan Courtyard, which was the warm family love she had been pursuing for two lifetimes.
"We won't destroy this place." Chu Liuchen's voice was gentle, but inexplicably reassuring.
"Certainly not?"
"Definitely not!" This was no longer just a reply but a confirmation.
A smile appeared on Shao Wanru's face, and she nodded. She turned around and saw that he was the only one. She couldn't help but look back, "Where is Brother Hao?"
"I asked him to go back to school!" Chu Liuchen said, holding her hand and slowly walking out, but still asked with a smile: "Can you go back?"
"Go back!" Shao Wanru nodded. The mansion was in a mess, and Zhao Xiran was busy. She was really the only official heroine in the inner courtyard now. In the current situation, the madam couldn't make the decision at all.
When the two of them walked out slowly, they passed by Shao Jing's yard again. Shao Wanru stopped and looked at the raised attic. That area was actually very conspicuous, so she walked a few steps outside. .
After only walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped again and decisively took Chu Liuchen's hand and walked inside.
"Princess, the Marquis is not here. He is in another study outside. If Princess has anything to do, go and find the Marquis there." The woman guarding the door hurriedly came up to stop her.
Chu Liuchen snorted coldly, and two guards appeared behind him and pulled the woman down.
The mother-in-law wanted to say something else, but she was hit hard on the head and fainted to the ground.
When the other servants in the yard saw this, they all trembled with fear and lowered their heads, fearing that King Chen's guard would come forward. This man was not a reasonable person at first glance.
Shao Wanru walked to the pavilion, gritted her teeth, and raised her head. She had always had a doubt in her heart. She felt that this place was suspicious for some reason. She wanted to go up and have a look. She just wanted to go up and have a look. There was no reason. She just felt that if she didn't look, it seemed It seems like I missed something very important.
This feeling was inexplicable, but it was very real. The real feeling made her feel an indescribable rush. She bit her lip, and the corners of her lips turned bright red.
"Want to go up?" Chu Liuchen pointed upward, and Shao Wanru nodded.
He quickly turned around to the front of the attic. When he got to the door, he was stunned. There was a big lock on the door. If you want to go to the attic, this place should be the place you must pass, but it is such a wide place. The lock is locked, and it is impossible to get in unless the lock is unscrewed.
"Where is the key?" Shao Wanru asked. Next to her was a woman who was cleaning just now. When she saw them coming, she hurriedly lowered her head and stepped aside.
"The key is in the hands of Mr. Hou..." the mother-in-law stammered.
"No one has ever gone up here?" Shao Wanru asked.
"Very few people... went up there. I heard... I heard it was just debris!" The woman didn't dare to raise her head, she was very panicked.
"How many years has it been since you went up there?" Shao Wanru was very disappointed. The impulse he had just retreated slowly, and he looked at the closed attic window above. He felt as if something was being suppressed in his heart, and he felt very uncomfortable. .
"One... I usually don't go up there... I just fight... I go up there when I'm cleaning..."
"Let's go!" Shao Wanru was extremely disappointed, looked at the window above and turned around.
"Actually, you can go up without a key!" Chu Liuchen said with a deep look in her eyes, seeing the reluctance in her eyes.
