Mrs. Chu Zhengfang returned home and waited for her servants to leave. She looked tired and couldn't help but relax.

Today's trip to the palace really made her sweat. She thought it was going to be bad several times. Fortunately, she was smart enough and dealt with it properly. The Crown Princess Tang did not disappoint her, so she finally kept the matter under control.

Within the scope. Otherwise, the big event that has been planned for a long time will be frustrated. Even if it does not affect the current wealth and power of the couple, the future will not be as beautiful as originally expected. That would be too disappointing.

However, something unexpected happened, and Mrs. Chu Zhengfang did not dare to be careless, and immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to her husband. Chu Zhengfang knew that his wife was going to the palace today, because it related to whether the Chu family's face could be saved, and he was quite concerned about it.

, even in the city guard yamen, he was a little absent-minded. As soon as he got the news sent by his wife, he immediately found an excuse to take leave and left early.

When he got home, he didn't even bother to change his clothes, so he asked his wife: "How is it? When you enter the palace today, does the Crown Princess agree to your request?"

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang said angrily: "Don't mention it! I was really shocked today!" Then she told everything about today's experience in the palace. Since there were only the husband and wife in the room,

She also recounted everything she had said in her subsequent conversation with Crown Princess Tang, and finally sighed: "Fortunately, I changed my mind quickly, and the Crown Princess was quite easy to fool recently, so I got her back again.

Otherwise, if she becomes dissatisfied with us as a couple because of the Wei incident, it will not be so easy for us to talk to her in the future! Really, how much time have we spent on her? How about doing something else instead?

What can't be done? It's really annoying that we can only worry about her alone, but we can't guarantee that she will be at our mercy!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Chu Zhengfang glared at his wife and glanced in the direction of the door and window, "Even in your own home, you have to be careful. How do you know that everyone in this house must be trustworthy? What if?

Walls have ears, and they are still alienated from us and have leaked confidential information, so what should we do?!"

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang covered her mouth and said with a dry smile: "That's not the case, is it? Is there anyone else in our own yard who has outside intentions? I have cleaned it up a long time ago, and I guarantee that the yard is full of our own confidants.

Even the women who sweep the yard are tight-lipped!"

"Be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship, not to mention that our ideas have blocked the road to wealth for countless people?" Chu Zhengfang said solemnly, "No matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious. People are unpredictable. Has the Crown Princess ever been wary of us?"

!”

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang had no choice but to bow her head and admit her mistake.

In fact, Chu Zhengfang just wanted his wife to have a correct attitude. It was not that he had to scold people bloody. When he saw that she admitted her mistake, he let her go. It's just that he was a little dissatisfied with his wife's efficiency in the East Palace.

"Although it seems that you have fooled the Crown Princess this time, if she thinks about it carefully later and becomes slightly clearer, or if she is discovered by the Crown Prince and gives some persuasion, she might be able to understand.

The risk is really too great. All our wealth and splendor now rests on the Crown Princess, but the Crown Princess is unwilling to listen to our advice in everything, so there is still some trouble. If this continues, it will be very detrimental to us. You have to hurry up

We need to think of a way to persuade the Crown Princess to accept the proposal and move our people into the East Palace. We can't keep counting on her, and she can't give birth to a son. At most, she's just taking advantage of the situation."

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang complained softly: "I have tried my best, and now she is a little tempted, maybe she will nod in a few days. Don't I want to push more? But if I push hard, I'm afraid she will get up.

Suspicious. She is very worried now. Although this way, it will be easier for her to believe us if we say bad things about other people in front of her. But her worry is not only for the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Prince, but also for us.

I will be too worried. I don’t dare to take risks, so I have to take my time. Don’t rush me, sir. How can I be anxious about this kind of thing?”

She sighed again: "If Princess Minshun could get closer to our son, things might go smoother. But Princess Minshun's temper is too weird. I really don't know what she is thinking. I want to get closer to her."

Well, she became more and more alienated from me. When she met my son and I, she looked like her nose was not her nose, and her eyes were not eyes. She refused to pay attention to our daughter, and even helped the Cai family to speak in front of the Crown Princess. If I hadn't been in time

After discovering this, she asked Aunt Cen to think of a way to get rid of the princess and let her have a rift with the Crown Princess and her daughter. Maybe something bad would have happened already! But after all, she is the Crown Princess's only flesh and blood, and the Crown Princess cannot really be with her.

I want to do something now, but I have no idea how to start, otherwise there wouldn’t be such a hidden danger.”

"What are you talking about!" Chu Zhengfang said angrily, "If you hadn't been greedy for the Lord's wealth and had the idea of ​​letting your son marry Princess Minshun, maybe the Princess would not be wary of our family. Princess

We were very close to me when we were young, so why didn't you see her showing you any affection at that time? Fortunately, the Crown Princess never had a problem with us just because of the Princess's thoughts, otherwise you would be the sinner of our family!"

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang's face became ugly and she just defended silently. She also knew that she was a little reckless at the beginning, but she also had a motherly heart.

Although the eldest son has always been physically strong, he is not good at studying. His martial arts skills are mediocre, and he is far from proficient in the art of war. He is only good at riding and shooting. With such skills, should he join the army and become a soldier?

A young military attaché? Without military merit, his promotion would be slow and his official position would not be much higher. Her son was now of marriageable age, and she had to start looking out for him. What kind of wife did they want for their son and what kind of wife could they get?

What kind of daughter-in-law is really worried about this! If the eldest son is a few years younger, it would be easy to wait until the couple rises to a higher position before considering marriage.

Just marry one, and the couple feel aggrieved for their son!

Since my family is close to the Crown Princess and Princess Minshun is about to get married, if my son can marry Princess Minshun, he will not have to worry about his future wealth and glory! Princess Minshun will be the direct descendant of the new king in the future.

The eldest princess has a noble status and is unmatched by anyone. As long as her consort does not do anything rebellious, he can follow him for a lifetime! Although it is said that if he surrenders to the master, it means that he has no future in participating in politics, but their eldest son does not have the ability to do so.

It is enough for a talented person to get a very wealthy marriage and ensure a lifetime of prosperity and wealth. However, Princess Minshun looks down on their son...

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang was secretly unwilling, thinking that Princess Minshun was still young and not in good health. If she could persuade the Crown Princess to marry her daughter later, it would take at least four or five years. With such a long time, maybe they

The big thing that the couple planned has been successful. By then, if she still wants Princess Minshun to be her daughter-in-law, her wish may not come true.

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang secretly buried this idea in her heart and did not mention it in front of her husband to avoid being scolded by him again.

She changed the subject.

Due to the Queen Mother's interference, the rumors of the Wei family being reprimanded have spread to everyone. At this time, it is meaningless to support the Wei family and the Wei family. Moreover, even if Cai Shengnan's reputation is trampled into the mud, it will only be

It was just a daughter of the Cai family, so it did not pose much of a threat to the Marquis of Yunyang. Originally, the Chu family could use the Wei family's demotion to attack the Marquis of Yunyang to avenge themselves, but the Queen Mother made a statement and the matter became a foregone conclusion. If

At this time, if anyone said that Marquis Yunyang was at fault, he would slap the Queen Mother in the face.

The Chu family can't confront the Queen Mother yet, so they can only endure this tone.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother only criticized the Wei family and the Wei family to the outside world. Even if she reprimanded the Chu family, she did not include Chu Zhengfang and his wife. They seem not to have been affected too much now. However, they cannot take it lightly.

The Chu family has suffered a loss, and the couple needs more comfort. Otherwise, the Chu family's betrayal will be equally detrimental to them.

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang complained: "This matter was originally their fault. The Wei family is just a woman, and it's okay to have some petty thoughts. But since Marquis Yunyang has taken action, they should restrain themselves. Originally, it was just the Wei family

The dispute with the Cai family has now involved our Chu family. We, husband and wife, should not have stood up for the Wei family in the first place! If they hadn't kept saying what they said, the uncle is the future head of the Chu family and should make decisions for the Chu family, how could we?

Falling into such an embarrassing situation now?!"

"Stop talking!" Chu Zhengfang's face was even more gloomy than his wife's, "I am the natural candidate for the head of the Chu family. If I don't come forward, how can I give others an advantage?! How can a woman from the Wei family be called a "head of the Chu family"?

I'm supporting her? I'm just looking at my cousin's face! He's in poor health and has a difficult time having an heir. It's not easy for the Wei family to have this child. If she can successfully give birth to an heir for her cousin, it will be better outside.

So what if I resolve the minor matter on behalf of the couple? As the eldest sister-in-law, you should care more about your younger siblings, so how can you still be resentful and say something wrong about them in front of me?!"

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang felt aggrieved, but she lowered her head and did not dare to argue. Chu Zhengfang scolded his wife and softened his expression slightly: "Well, now that the Queen Mother is taking action, my cousins ​​can only endure this tone. Please give her some relief and let her not think about it.

Too many, having a good child and raising a baby is a serious matter. As long as she successfully gives birth to an heir for her cousin, when we gain power in the future, are we afraid that we won't be able to save her face?"

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang agreed, and stood up with an uneasy expression: "Then I...I'll go see my cousins." Chu Zhengfang nodded, and she turned and left.

She walked out of her yard with a straight face and a stiff expression, but did not go to the yard of another house. Instead, she walked to a secluded place and stood for a long time facing a row of flowers and trees under the wall, with a look on her face.

Only then did he slowly calm down and be able to face others with a smile.

At this time, a slim figure walked up the path not far away. Mrs. Chu Zhengfang recognized her husband’s cousin, Chu Yu Niang, who lived with their husband and wife after losing her parents, and her face sank: “Yu Niang,

Where are you going? Is this the way out?"

When Chu Yuniang saw her, she stopped, lowered her head and tied her hands, remaining silent.

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang was very angry, so she couldn't help but get angry: "Why don't you speak? Where are you going? Don't tell me, you are going to see your grandfather again? I told you before, you

My grandfather was a criminal official in the King of Shu's palace. He was lucky enough to escape the blame and was disgraced. You stay away from them to avoid being exposed to bad luck. Why don't you just refuse to obey?!"
