Chu Qinghuan's brows furrowed even more, her expression became much sharper, "What nonsense is Concubine Liu spouting, Mother's body is fine, how can she be alive or dead, don't let Father and Mother hear and feel angry."
Concubine Liu did not expect Chu Qinghuan to lie to her like that. Obviously, Empress Liu had mentioned her wife's name before in the palace, and she was aware of it!
"Second Miss, don't you want to know the cause of your wife's death?" After a long while, these words came out of Concubine Liu's mouth, and Chu Qinghuan's expression instantly changed. Although it passed in a flash, it was seen by Concubine Liu.
"Second Miss, in terms of identity, you are the well-deserved Direct Daughter of our Prime Minister's Estate! "Eldest Miss, she was only born a quarter of an hour earlier than you. At that time, she was merely the daughter of a bastard!"
Chu Qinghuan's expression immediately changed, and said sternly: "Concubine Liu, do you know what nonsense you are spouting!"
However, Concubine Liu was certain of Chu Qinghuan's thoughts, "Second Miss, this humble concubine is not spouting nonsense. Back then, Song Xiangyun was merely a concubine accepted by Prime Minister, if not for Madam being angered to death by her, she would not have become our Prime Minister's wife!"
Chu Qinghuan's face immediately became pale, and she was unable to speak properly, "What, what did you say?"
Seeing that Chu Qinghuan's expression finally changed, the Concubine Liu couldn't help but lower her voice, "Second Miss, Thousand Shadow House was Madame's residence all those years ago. After you were born, Madame died in a blood explosion, so Prime Minister sealed her Thousand Shadow House and sent her to the temple.
"Then, then why is there no tablet for my mother in the ancestral hall!"
Concubine Liu did not expect Chu Qinghuan to know even this. After being stunned for a moment, she said: "That, that was because Song Xiangyun had threatened Prime Minister and said that the Madam was merely a merchant's daughter. How could he act arrogantly in front of her? At that time, the Anping Marquis was still in the midst of pacifying the conflict, and the emperor placed great importance on it. At that time, the Prime Minister was still a Advice of the Ministry of Rites, and for the sake of his future, he had no choice but to withdraw his tablet … "
Chu Qinghuan clenched her teeth tightly, and only then was she able to control her emotions. The Concubine Liu by her side didn't dare to say a single word, and only after a long while did she hear Chu Qinghuan say: "Thank you, Aunt, for telling me this, I will definitely make her regret it when we get back!"
Concubine Liu nodded her head, she suddenly clutched her stomach and said: "Second Miss, I am not feeling well, I will take my leave first."
Watching as the Concubine Liu walked far away, Baimei walked forward. Previously, when she was far away, she couldn't hear clearly, but seeing the young miss like this, she couldn't help but feel worried, but before she could say anything to comfort Chu Qinghuan, Chu Qinghuan had already swept the sadness away, "I'm fine, her words are fake and fake, I can't be trusted. Wanting to use me to deal with Song Xiangyun, to reap the benefits of a good punishment, you truly are thinking too much!"
Furthermore, back then when Chu Jinxiu accused Chu Changle of being pregnant, the situation had forced her to do so, and Concubine Liu had just mentioned it at that time. In her excitement, Chu Siyuan had also promised her something, and if she was sincere at that time, it would have been impossible for First Madame to marry Chu Changle.
He had clearly taken a fancy to the Cheng En Marquis Palace, but now he was putting up a show to beg for his help. Did he take him for a fool? How could he allow her to play with him?
The woman froze for a moment. She knew she was worrying too much, but she still couldn't help saying, "Miss, if you want to know..." If that's the case, why not ask Nanny Zhou? She is an old man from the Prime Minister's Estate, so she should know about many things. "
Chu Qinghuan slowly shook her head, "It's not time yet, let's not rush this matter." What Song Xiangyun owed her mother, what Song Xiangyun owed his brother, and what Chu Jinxiu owed him, she would definitely take back. Not a single one would fall!
Chu Wenjin had only returned to the Palace on the second day, and at that time, there was also someone that Chu Jinxiu did not really want to see, Ji Fengye.
Upon seeing Ji Fengye's arrival, Chu Siyuan was somewhat surprised, "Prince is here, could it be …"
Chu Wenjin's expression flickered, he did not dare to respond to Chu Siyuan's gaze, and upon seeing this, Chu Siyuan was infuriated. He only wanted to kill the unfilial son on the spot, but his arm was grabbed by Ji Fengye.
"Prime Minister still needs to take care of his health. This Governor came to apologize to Prime Minister, but Mu Yan was too anxious to investigate yesterday, he actually treated Second Young Master as a suspect. This is really hateful, luckily we managed to find out the truth."
Chu Siyuan's expression changed, a smile was already plastered on his face, "So that means Prince has caught the culprit?"
The corner of Ji Fengye's mouth rose, "The criminal has already committed suicide out of guilt, but it could also be said that the Heir of Marquis of Chengen committed the crime himself, and brought this upon himself. This matter has already been reported to the Emperor, I believe that there will be a holy judgment for the Emperor."
Chu Siyuan nodded in relief, "It's been hard on you Prince."
However, Ji Fengye waved his hand, "It's this humble subject's duty to work for His Majesty. Young Master Chu, it's easy to seek priceless treasures if you have a way, it's rare to find a lover. It seems that Second Young Master is truly fortunate.
Chu Siyuan did not understand, but just as he was about to speak, he saw Ji Fengye patting his hands, and a lady dressed in dust walked in leisurely with a bit of makeup on her face.
"This is …" Chu Siyuan's face was filled with astonishment, and he could not help but look at Ji Fengye.
Chu Wenjin smelled the fragrance and turned his head, afraid that he would see the approaching person.
The woman, who looked like a middle-aged woman, seemed to be extremely flippant. The makeup on her face seemed to be deliberately applied in an uneven manner, as if a slight movement from the corner of her lips could cause the makeup to fall off.
"Chu Xiang doesn't know that during Mu Yan's trial, Crown Prince's personal manservant sent a message saying that the Crown Prince had indeed picked up the brocade handkerchief. It was just that she said that it was a gift from a beauty for the sake of Yu Cheng and the noble young miss. And yesterday, when Second Young Master went to look for Crown Prince in the Red Court, he had also seen the message in the Little Orchid House. He had even told Second Young Master where he was going … "
"Then, then why did this unfilial son not kill anyone?" Chu Siyuan was surprised.
Ji Fengye could not help but laugh: "For this matter, it is more appropriate to ask Miss Hong Lian to explain."
The girl called Hong Lian actually kneeled down, and said while pinching her throat: "Prime Minister, was indeed not the person Second Young Master killed, because at that time, Second Young Master was in this servant's room, why would Second Young Master kill people when he was powerless?" With that, she smiled bashfully, as if she was embarrassed to look at Chu Wenjin.
Chu Siyuan did not expect that it would actually be as he had expected, and his body instantly retreated backwards …
Chu Wenjin's expression was much more complicated. Disgusting, ashamed and even angry, as if he wanted to tear Hong Lian's face apart. His eyes were filled with tears of anger.
"Miss Hong Lian, your saliva cannot be relied on, what kind of evidence do you need to take out? Otherwise, wouldn't Second Young Master's innocence be sullied?" Ji Fengye's face was completely red. He could not help but frown.
However, Lady Hong Lian laughed, "Do you really have to execute Second Young Master? If I am diagnosed with a wedding vein in a month, wouldn't Prince be wrongly accused? At that time, for Hong Lian's orphans and widows, who would he go and demand an explanation from? "
Hearing the words' Happy Veins', Chu Wenjin's entire body shivered, but Hong Lian just shyly met his gaze, "Second Young Master doesn't know, I have a secret recipe, it seems like I am pregnant. We will find out after a month or so."
"Ugh …" He really couldn't remember exactly what happened yesterday. He only remembered that he did not find Liu Changqi at the private room, and just as he was about to go downstairs, he was pulled by a servant girl, who said that Liu Changqi had taken a fancy to Miss Hua Ying, and is currently in Miss Hua Ying's room.
That little girl was only seven or eight years old, he did not doubt that she was lying. He followed her, but the moment he entered the room, he smelled a fragrance, and before he could even cover it up, his entire body collapsed powerlessly. When he woke up, he was in the Imperial Guards prison, and the last time he went there to pick Chu Jinxiu up was from there.
The people from the Imperial Guards at the side covered their ears and noses, but on their faces was an undisguised smile of disdain.
Liu Changqi died, so when Chu Wenjin heard the news, he was very excited, because once Liu Changqi died, all the gossip about the brocade handkerchief would disappear like smoke in thin air.
However, he did not have the time to retract the smile on his face when he thought of something else. He no longer had the slightest hint of a smile on his face.
And then, it was this Hong Lian's turn to arrive, claiming that she was innocent …
And then, it was now.
"What happened to Second Young Master? If it was a sickness, then it should be a woman's symptoms, why did Second Young Master suddenly vomit? Could it be that there really is a bond between husband and wife? "
Ji Fengye mocked and ridiculed his, but Chu Wenjin was powerless to care about it. Hearing this, Chu Siyuan could not help but frown.
However, before he could even open his mouth, Ji Fengye said, "Speaking of which, Second Young Master is no longer young either. "The emperor is very concerned about Second Young Master's marriage as well. Why not let this Regional Commander do …"
"Prince, it's rare that Miss Hong Lian would have such sentiments and feelings for my son, it's just that this lowly one has already arranged a marriage for my son …"
Ji Fengye raised his phoenix eyes and laughed, "Oh? But Hong Lian is still a member of the Second Young Master, if she has the Second Young Master's bloodline and she is still left in the outside world, doesn't that mean that the clan has been tainted by Chu Xiang? "
Ji Fengye did not hold back, Chu Siyuan was somewhat surprised, but he still followed his words: "What Prince said is, Miss Hong Lian's current status is indeed not suitable outside, I will decide, after a few days when my son has gotten married, I will bring him into the house as an aunt, what do you think, Prince?"
Ji Fengye nodded his head, "As expected of Chu Xiang, she is from the Advice, so she values etiquette the most. But what if Second Young Master does not marry soon, and Lady Hong Lian's stomach cannot be hidden, what should we do? Although it is customary for Great Zhou to not accept concubines before marriage, if the matter is urgent, there should still be a favor even if it is outside the law right? "
Chu Qinghuan couldn't help but want to laugh, it was as though Hong Lian really had the blood of the Chu Family in her stomach.
Chu Siyuan did not expect that his strategy of delaying the battle would be seen through by Ji Fengye, and he narrowed his eyes, but Ji Fengye smiled and said: "How about we set it at one month. It's rare for Miss Hong Lian to be so affectionate and loyal, this general really respects her, I wonder if Miss Hong Lian can come and stay at my official's house for a while?"
's expression immediately changed. It wasn't difficult for a person to disappear in a month's time, but Ji Fengye actually brought this Hong Lian to his residence. It would be hard to get rid of him.
Hong Lian didn't seem to understand the fight between the two of them, it was just that the people who were used to fighting in the Windswept Realm knew of some things. Who was the person who invited him? She was the commander of the imperial court for eight thousand years, as well as the current emperor's most beloved Courtier. It was said that Qin Huai Tower's Miss Ruo Chu was his forbidden mistress.
Since he could be implicated with this person, even if he had to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, the people in the Prime Minister's Estate would have to fear him for some reason!
"I thank Prince for your hospitality, but do not be disrespectful." As he said that, he smiled at Ji Fengye charmingly, causing the makeup on his face to fall off, and the red carpet to be sprinkled with a layer of white makeup.
"So, in a few days, our Prime Minister's Estate will have to welcome a middle-aged lady?" No, it should be the half-aunt. "
