Compared to Cheng Feng who was cursing and cursing, Gu Hanzhang was in a good mood. Even though he didn't show it too much, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Unfortunately, Chengfeng didn't notice at all.
"Hanzhang, you think about your sister-in-law like this every time you go out. I think you are henpecked!"
Gu Hanzhang glanced at Chengfeng indifferently, his expression was as usual, but his tone had a hint of ridicule.
"Henpecked? I can't be henpecked."
Cheng Feng spread his hands and said, "You will know when the time comes. There are many henpecked men in our capital, young and old. If you become one of them in the future, I will use what I said today to block you."
Of course, Cheng Feng was just joking.
If Gu Hanzhang's temperament is really henpecked, then he may have to confess Chao Li and ask her how she did it.
"It's up to you, you won't see it anyway." Gu Hanzhang was very sure.
Judging from Gu Hanzhang's understanding of himself, he will never be henpecked.
The two of them were talking and soon arrived at the gate of Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
Gu Hanzhang got off the carriage first, and then asked someone to send Cheng Feng over. He did not hide this fact. Originally, the relationship between the two of them was good. Cheng Feng went to Xishan to look for Gu Hanzhang openly, and no one would suspect anything if he told him.
Back at the mansion, Gu Hanzhang's mind was on Tingyu Pavilion. He gently covered his heart and walked back with a steady pace.
When I walked into the yard, it was quiet all around and I didn't hear much movement.
I was originally in a somewhat good mood, but now I found that there was no movement in Chaoli's room, and I became a little depressed.
Zhaocai rushed out from the corridor on the side, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is back."
It can be seen that I am very happy to attract money.
Gu Hanzhang didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, and instead walked to the study, Zhaocai hurriedly followed.
"How are you doing in the mansion recently?" Gu Hanzhang asked.
Zhaocai rubbed the back of his head. He didn't know what Gu Hanzhang wanted to ask, but he answered honestly.
"Everything in the house is as usual. Several gentlemen went to see the old marquis every now and then to say hello to him. The third gentleman also paid 600 pieces of silver from the accounting room and left without explaining the reason. The lady has nothing to do, and occasionally invites some ladies to come over and chat.
Let’s have lunch together. The fourth young lady is mostly staying indoors now and hasn’t gone out for a few days, but she should be fine. The second young master and the third young master go out every day and spend more money. The second young master has brought another girl with him.
Come back. As for the fifth lady, as usual, whether the prince leaves or not, she still doesn’t like to go out of the courtyard."
At this point, the fortune-telling stopped.
This month in the mansion was almost like this, nothing else happened.
Gu Hanzhang said with a cold look on his brows, "What else?"
What else? What else?
In the past, when the prince left, he always reported on the situation of these people. Could it be that he had forgotten some people and failed to report them?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Zhaocai's mind.
"The Crown Princess is doing well recently. She even went out to Mingyue Lake with the ladies and returned to the palace today."
Look, how smart he is!
If the Crown Princess is living a good life, the Crown Prince will definitely be satisfied.
Gu Hanzhang pursed his lips, feeling even more unhappy.
Thinking back to the time he left Beijing, Chaoli had a very good life in his mansion. No wonder he didn't write a letter to him for a month.
"Next month's monthly schedule is gone." Gu Hanzhang said coldly.
Zhaocai was shocked on the spot, "Your Majesty! What's going on, slave?"
In the conscience of heaven and earth, he has done nothing. Why does the Crown Prince want to deduct his monthly salary?
Although his monthly reward is much higher than the monthly quota, and he is really not short of money, it is difficult for him to accept that the monthly quota is deducted for no reason.
Zhaocai stared at Gu Hanzhang aggrievedly, his fleshy cheeks bulging, looking pitiful and cute.
Gu Hanzhang did not relent in the slightest, "I'll buckle it when I say it."
Hearing this, I almost want to cry for fortune.
My poor monthly routine, why did it disappear again and again?
Not many people have seen Gu Hanzhang's carriage back home. Of course, no one in the court will know that he has returned home.
Chaoli and Fang Huimin talked for a while and discussed some matters before preparing to leave.
As soon as he walked out of the yard, Chao Lu came over angrily.
"Why is father here?" Chaoli said calmly.
Chao Lu was so angry that he walked straight in front of Chao Li, raised his right hand high, obviously very angry, and prepared to slap Chao Li.
Chao Li stared at Chao Lu coldly, not even flinching.
"Father, are you sure you want to fight?"
Chao Li said these few words coldly and waited for Chao Lu's movements.
Chao Lu was obviously stunned, and his raised hand froze in place. Seeing that Chao Li's eyes were not warm at all, a chill suddenly surged in his heart.
It's just that the raised hand hasn't been lowered yet, so it's a bit difficult to get off the stage.
"You, what do you mean!"
Chao Lu roared angrily, but it looked like he was bluffing.
After calming down for a while, Chao Lu still didn't slap his right hand on Chao Li's face.
"My father came to my mother's yard just because he wanted to beat me? Li must have gone to your place to cry again, saying that I bullied her and Chaozhen and asked you to make decisions for them. It's really boring. I thought I was so capable, but in the end
It's just a complaint. Father can beat me, but do you think I will cover my face when I go out? Will I take a carriage or walk back home? Oh, by the way, I am the crown prince concubine given by the Queen Mother. Does father really dare to beat me? Tsk, tsk, tsk,
You should think twice before taking action, after all, you are only a fourth-grade official."
Yes, he didn't dare.
Chaoli has changed since she got married. She is now the eldest concubine of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and is no longer his eldest daughter who he can beat and scold at will.
But now Chao Li's sarcastic words fell into Chao Lu's ears, and he became even more angry.
When did the daughter she held in her hands dare to show off her power to him? Does she still have him as a father in her eyes?
After careful consideration, Chao Lu put his hand down, but the anger in his eyes did not subside.
"Zhen'er has fallen into such a predicament, and it has something to do with you. As her biological sister, you should not come to maliciously humiliate her." Chaoli said uncomfortably.
After all, he had lost face in front of Chao Li, and Chao Lu felt uncomfortable all over at this moment.
"Father, my heart is actually like a mirror. You went to the Sun Palace Banquet that day. You clearly knew something about Chaozhen, but you still said it was related to me? Every time Li moved her lips and said a few words of grievance,
You just believed it, regardless of the truth. Father, how could you forget that she is the one in charge of the family, who is being bullied?"
Chao Lu did go to the palace banquet, but at that time he was surrounded by high-ranking ministers and had no time to take care of his daughter.
What's more, as for the female relatives, it is impossible for him, a grown man, to intervene.
As for what happened to Mr. Li, let’s not mention it for the time being. Business is more important.
