Poor Family

"Sister Xiahou."

"Sister Xin."

Xiahou Huanyan took a look at Duke Anguo's Mansion on the street next to Duke Wen's Mansion, and it was no surprise that she would see Shi Fuxin here: "Are you coming to see your sister?"

Shi Fuxin nodded: "Well, I miss my two little nephews."

Xia Hou smiled happily: "It seems that you really like children."

Shi Fuxin: "My two nephews are soft and chubby, they laugh when they see me, of course I like it." Then she looked at Mrs. Wen Guogong's eldest son standing at the gate to welcome guests.

"I haven't heard that your family still has contacts with the banker?"

Xiahou Huanyan: "How could there be no contact between the nobles? Before, it was because Wen Guogong's mansion rarely entertained guests. Now that the eldest prince has gained power, Wen Guogong's mansion has changed its previous low-key. It is not good to post a post."

After Shi Fuxin heard this, she curled her lips.

In Duke Wen's mansion, when the eldest prince was down and down, he shrank back and made no sound, but now that the eldest prince has improved, they jumped out.

"Sister Xiahou, I just saw Chu Yao coming. The old concubine Zhuang and the princess of the county also went in before. You can show me a lot."

Looking at Shi Fuxin's shining eyes, Xiahou Huanyan immediately saw through her intention of going to the mansion to watch a play, and said amusedly: "I'm bored by myself, you can accompany me into Wen Guogong's mansion."

Shi Fuxin nodded with a smile.

When it was their turn to enter the mansion, Xiahou Huanyan introduced Shi Fuxin to Mrs. Wen Guogong's eldest son.

Seeing Shi Fuxin, the wife of Duke Wen's Mansion paused for a moment, although she didn't show anything unusual, but the enthusiasm was less visible to the naked eye.

When Shi Fuxin saw her, she didn't care, there was no way anyone could make her reputation worse now, if it wasn't for Xiahou Huanyan's face, she wouldn't be allowed to enter the mansion at all.

Xiahou Huanyan also saw the reluctance of Mrs. Wen Guogong's eldest son, when she saw Fuxin smiled, she nodded her forehead: "You are thick-skinned just to join in the fun."

Shi Fuxin wasn't embarrassed at all: "It's a rare opportunity. I saw Chu Yao's face just now, and I was a little out of breath. They said that Chu Yao has a bad relationship with other people in the palace. I want to see how bad it is."

Xiahou Huanyan gave her a white look: "What does this have to do with you?" After a pause, he frowned and said, "You don't think you have a crush on Chu Yao, do you?"

Now it was Shi Fuxin's turn to roll her eyes: "Chu Yao is not bad, but his family background is comparable to a wolf's den. I married to live a good life, not to cause trouble for myself."

Xiahou Huanyan was relieved: "It's good that you know."

Shi Fuxin showed sympathy: "Chu Yao is also a poor child, who has been dragged down by the palace and turned into an old leftover man."

Chu Yao is twenty-three this year. In this era, he is definitely an old leftover man.

Xia Houhuan agreed with her face. If it weren't for the complicated situation in Prince Rong's mansion, with Chu Yao's appearance, even if he was a bit dandy, some girls would want to marry him.

While talking, the two had already entered the backyard of Duke Wen's Mansion, and they also saw Old Princess Rong and Princess Rongjun surrounded by the female family members of various families.

"The old concubine Rong is of a high seniority, and she is the sister-in-law of the empress dowager. The old prince Rong is the younger brother of Yingzong, nearly 20 years younger than Yingzong, and is not much different from Renzong in age. Therefore, the lineage of Prince Rong , the seniority in the clan is extremely high."

When Shi Fuxin listened to Xiahou Huanyan's introduction of the situation of Prince Rong's Mansion, she kept nodding her head.

She also knows some of these, for example, according to seniority, Chu Yao is the uncle of the princes.

"Sister Xiahou, do you know what the purpose of Old Princess Rong and Princess Rongjun's visit to Duke Wen's mansion is?"

Xiahou Huanyan said in a low voice: "Old Princess Rong is from the Zhuang family. She wants to tell Chu Yao the eldest girl of the Zhuang family. Unfortunately, Chu Yao doesn't seem to be happy."

Shi Fuxin rubbed her chin: "This marriage sounds good."

Xiahou Huanyan pulled Shi Fuxin to sit in a corner where there were few people, and said in a low voice: "The old concubine told Chu Yao about her natal family in order to make Miss Zhuang and her one mind."

"The relationship between Chu Yao and the two direct brothers is very bad, because he has a bad reputation, filial piety can't hold him down, and the relationship with everyone in the palace is bad. The purpose of appointing the eldest daughter of the Zhuang family is to ease the relationship."

After hearing this, Shi Fuxin suddenly said: "If it's for this reason, it's no wonder that Chu Yao agreed." Then, she sighed again, "Chu Yao is really a poor child."

Then, he glanced at the kind and kind old Princess Rong.

"The old concubine took it for granted. If she did this, it would only backfire."

Xiahou Huanyan sighed: "The old concubine's starting point is also good."

Shi Fuxin sneered: "But she didn't consider Chu Yao's feelings at all. Her kindness was only for the rest of the palace, and she completely ignored whether Chu Yao was willing or not."

"Look, I have a hunch that Chu Yao is going to make a big fuss today."

Hearing Shi Fuxin's affirmative tone, Xiahou Huanyan looked over in surprise: "Look at you, you know Chu Yao quite well."

Shi Fuxin smiled: "People are complex and fickle. Although I have a lot of contacts with Chu Yao, they are all superficial. How can I understand him?"

"I just think that Chu Yao's temperament is a bit like mine in some aspects."

"I said I don't want it anymore. If someone is still my master behind my back, I will definitely make a big fuss, so that people can develop a long memory."

Xiahou smiled happily and said: "The noble families want to save face. If they can solve it in private, it won't make trouble in the open. No matter how inconspicuous Chu Yao is, he doesn't dare to go too far."

When Fuxin was about to say something, she heard a burst of cheers. Looking for the sound, she saw Princess Rongjun, that is, Chu Yao's mother and concubine, holding Miss Zhuang's hand, and wanted to put a ruby ​​bracelet on it. on her wrist.

The red jade bracelet was given by the old concubine Rongjun when she married into the palace, and the chill it represented was self-evident.

Just as Miss Zhuang was shyly letting Princess Rong put on the bracelet, a stone hit the bracelet with a 'swish' sound.

"Snapped!"

The bracelet shattered and fell to the ground.

The sudden scene shocked everyone.

Miss Zhuang and Princess Rongjun were startled.

Shi Fuxin looked not far away, looked at Chu Yao in the flower hall indifferently, and felt more sympathy for him.

There is no need to find someone to inquire, Princess Rongjun must be a very unqualified mother!

At this time, everyone saw Chu Yao, and old Princess Rong was so angry that her complexion was ashen. Just as she was about to call Chu Yao over, she heard the servant girl from Duke Wen's mansion running over in a hurry.

"Ma'am is not well, the Special Chassis is here."

Hearing about Special Chasi, all the female relatives present were shocked.

Where Special Chasi appeared, the house was either ransacked or blood was shed.

Mrs. Wen Guogong turned pale with shock: "What are the people from the Special Investigation Department doing in Wen Guogong's mansion?" As she said that, she quickly ran towards the front yard.

Shi Fuxin pulled La Xiahou Huanyan: "I said Chu Yao is going to make a scene, so let's go and watch the excitement."

After Xiahou Huanyan came back to his senses, Shi Fuxin had already dragged him away for a long time.

Not only them, but others also followed to the front yard.

"This is Duke Wen's mansion. There is no emperor's will. If you dare to touch a person in the mansion, the Duke will make you pay a heavy price."

Wen Guogong sternly looked at the people in Special Investigation Department.

The people in the special inspection department were all used to raiding their homes, so they were not afraid of Wen Guogong, but they really didn't move, but looked at Meng Moling aside.

Meng Moling touched his nose and remained silent. When he saw Chu Yao coming out, his expression brightened: "Brother Yao, I brought him here."

Chu Yao looked at Wen Guogong and Zhuang Jiaerlang standing behind him expressionlessly, and waved his hand: "Take down Fourth Master Zhuang."

Hearing this, the guards of the Special Investigation Division no longer hesitated, rushed over quickly, subdued the servants of Duke Wen's mansion three or two times, and arrested Fourth Master Zhuang.

"Chu Yao!"

"What are you doing here?"

Wen Guogong looked at Chu Yao in surprise. He didn't expect that the people of the Special Investigation Department would dare to touch the people of Wen Guogong's mansion, let alone that the people of the Special Investigation Department would listen to Chu Yao's words.

Not only him, everyone present was shocked by this.

Chu Yao looked at Wen Guogong: "Master Zhuang is related to a case and needs to be taken to the Special Investigation Department for investigation."

Duke Wen was furious: "Chu Yao, you are talking nonsense, I want to go to the palace to meet the emperor."

Chu Yao ignored him, and directly let the people of the Special Investigation Division take away Fourth Master Zhuang.

When Wen Guogong saw that Chu Yao was really coming, he was angry and anxious. Fortunately, Wen Guogong's son invited old Princess Rong and Princess Rongjun out.

"Brother Yao, what are you doing? Hurry up and let him go." Old Princess Rong was also shocked.

Chu Yao walked up to the old Princess Rong with a smile, personally supported the old princess' arm, and whispered softly: "Grandmother, grandson has said so many times that he is unwilling, and you have been ignored. Grandson has no choice but to Get real."

The old concubine Rong Wang looked at Chu Yao in a daze, her face full of disbelief.

The smile on Chu Yao's face deepened a bit, and his tone became more gentle: "I won't let you feel pain, you won't take me seriously at all."

"Brother Yao"

Chu Yao heard Princess Rongjun's voice and looked up.

Princess Rongjun's complexion turned pale, not because she was frightened by the special inspector, but because of Chu Yao's attitude towards the old concubine: "Brother Yao, you can't talk to your grandmother like this, please apologize." There was pleading in her tone .

Chu Yao silently looked at Princess Rongjun for a while, sneered, and looked at the old princess again: "Don't worry, grandma, the Zhuang family is your natal family, and I will instruct the people from the special investigation department to treat fourth master Zhuang well."

Said, put down the arm of old Princess Rong, and left indifferently.

After a while, the old Princess Rong came back to her senses, her face was so ugly, she looked at Princess Rongjun fiercely: "You have raised a good son."

Chu Yao is really her good grandson, she kindly wanted to tell him the eldest daughter of the Zhuang family, but he arrested Fourth Master Zhuang, which was tantamount to slapping her in the face openly!

This dear dealer, there is no way to continue.

"I'm right, Chu Yao really made a fuss."

In the crowd, Shi Fuxin was talking to Xiahou Huanyan in a low voice.

Xia Houhuan's complexion was complicated: "Chu Yao slapped old Princess Rong loudly in public." Then, he frowned, "Why would the people from Special Investigation Division listen to Chu Yao's words?"

Shi Fuxin was not surprised, Chu Yao was originally the head of the Special Inspection Division, but now that the Special Investigation Division has no one to talk to, it is quite normal for the emperor to let him take over the Special Investigation Division.
