"It's nothing." Zhang Neng smiled cheekily, "Axue said that an ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her parents-in-law. She forced me to come." Before he could finish his words, a pair of jade hands dragged him in and received a severe beating.
Zhang Neng brought a jar of spicy cabbage and a jar of spicy radish in the car, as well as gifts carefully prepared by Bai Yixue.
After the carriage of Prince Ye's Mansion stopped at the gate of the mansion, Zhang Chengzhi, Marquis of Jianning, pulled his step-wife and all the children in the mansion to welcome him out.
"His Royal Highness the Night King, how can the Night Princess be so polite?"
Shen Yuhui recognized Marquis Jianning at a glance. She had met this middle-aged and thin man several times at the gate of Ye Wang's Mansion. Once, he was sweeping snow on the road with a bamboo stick and looking into the mansion from time to time. At that time, she was still surprised For a moment.
I originally thought that Marquis Jianning had the same temperament as Zhao Gaoyi, but it seems that he is not. He probably has a stubborn temper!
Not only did Jianninghou have a bad temper, but he also didn't listen to what he said. He looked at Zhang Neng and said, "I thought you died outside. Why did you come back?"
Shen Yue:……
She really wanted to say, uncle, I have seen you wandering outside the Night King's Mansion several times with a runny nose and pretending to be a snow sweeper. Isn't it because you want to see your son?
Zhang Neng knew his father's virtues and did not care about him. He sent people to unload the things from the car onto the carriage and brought Bai Yixue to his father to introduce him.
"I can't die, and I have found a wife. It will be time to plant leaves outside soon." Bai Yixue hurriedly blushed and saluted, "I have met my uncle and aunt."
Jianninghou glanced at Bai Yixue lovingly and said to Zhang Neng, "How could such a good girl fall in love with you? How can you, an unfilial son, be worthy of this family?" Then he called to the Night King and Shen Yuyu, "It's cold outside, let's go. Go into the house and say.'
On the way into the house, Shen Yuyu glanced at Zhang Neng's stepmother Jiang, who was in her mid-thirties and looked very cautious.
A daughter who came from a small family, apart from blowing pillow wind in Jianninghou's ears to deal with Zhang Neng, she has no great ability. Jianninghou still has the final say in major affairs in the house.
There should be no problems with Marquis Jianning's character. If he had problems, he would have taken refuge with the Crown Prince long ago. Apart from expelling Zhang Neng, his legitimate son, he would not have done any other bad things.
She had no objection to the marriage between Zhang Neng and Bai Yixue, and when her step-wife Jiang learned that Bai Yixue was the eldest daughter of the Yong'an Marquis of Daqi, and there were only three daughters in the family, she immediately became enthusiastic.
She thought to herself that Zhang Neng was probably going to Daqi to be her son-in-law, and that he would no longer be able to compete with her son for his position. He let go of his guard and diligently organized lunch.
After lunch, the Night King and his party left the Jianning Houfu.
Jian Ning was sent to the door of the house and told Zhang Neng that he must bring Bai Yixue back for the New Year's Eve dinner. The father and son finally settled their differences.
General Wei Liang and Zhao Han were all familiar acquaintances. They chatted about the New Year gifts and left without even drinking tea.
After such a busy day, it was almost evening when I returned to Ye Wang Mansion. Of course, I also received various gifts in return and loaded a carriage full of them.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhou Chenxiang would stay in Linghua Pavilion during the holidays and stay here every night. Young women make people energetic, and Zhou Chenxiang glowed with a second spring.
It has been twenty days since I went to Lanhua Pavilion, which made Aunt Jiang very jealous.
In the past, the master treated her as a treasure and treated her well and gave her whatever she wanted. Now that Shen Lingling has taken away this honor and favor, how can she be willing to do so?
That night, her daughter Niuniu had a cough and felt uncomfortable. Aunt Jiang thought she had an excuse to call the master over.
If she doesn't try to find a way to get the master back, he may even forget about her.
Thinking of this, he rushed to Linghua Pavilion anxiously.
"Is the master in there?" Arriving at the entrance of the courtyard, Aunt Jiang was blocked by Aunt Su.
"Inside." Aunt Su nodded, "But Master and Aunt Shen have already rested~~"
"Have you rested so early? The genius has just faded away." Aunt Jiang felt resentful, pushed Aunt Su away and rushed into the yard, "Master, Niuniu is sick, coughing and feverish, do you really not care about it? ?'
"The doctor in the house has taken leave again during the Chinese New Year. The groom pretended that I was an aunt and I can't even complain. Master, if you don't care anymore, I don't know what will happen to Niuniu tonight.'
She deliberately made Niuniu's condition very serious, and she didn't believe that the master really didn't care about his daughter and could really turn a blind eye.
Inside the room, two pots of charcoal fire were burning warmly.
Prime Minister Zhou had already got into bed with the beauty in his arms. When he heard Aunt Jiang yelling outside, he got ready. Shen Lingling grabbed him.
"Master, do you want to make a bet with Lingling?"
"What's the bet?" Prime Minister Zhou glanced at Shen Lingling and picked up the clothes hanging on the bedside.
Shen Lingling hummed, "I bet Miss Qi will be fine if something happens tomorrow. If anything happens, Lingling will accompany her."
If nothing is wrong, then Aunt Jiang is deliberately provoking you outside right now.'
"She couldn't see that the master liked me. She was jealous and deliberately came to cause trouble."
How could Prime Minister Zhou not be clear about this?
The dozen or so aunts in the Chancellor's Mansion were not all brought in at once. Each of them experienced favor and disfavor. The one who fell out of favor would always be unwilling to accept it for a period of time and make endless troubles. He understood this better than anyone else.
After a silence, he said to the outside of the house: "Zhou Qian, send Aunt Jiang back, don't let her spoil the fun here." There was no response from Zhou Qian, and Zhou Chenxiang was puzzled.
Zhou Qian is his personal bodyguard and protects his safety at all times. How dare he leave his post without permission?
Outside, Aunt Jiang was filled with dissatisfaction and cried even louder.
"If I don't go back, I won't do it for my sake, but for Niuniu's sake. She is your own flesh and blood."
"Please sir, please go and see her. Maybe you won't be able to see her tomorrow."
Inside the room, Zhou Chenxiang became even more angry and raised his voice: "Zhou Qian, are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?"
Seeing that Zhou Chenxiang was angry, Aunt Su hurriedly came to the door and said, "Master, Zhou Guards just went out, and I don't know where he went."
Zhou Chenxiang was stunned. Shen Lingling's eyes turned viciously when she saw this, and she hurriedly provoked with malicious intent: "Master, there are so many women in the house, and Zhou Guardsman left without saying a word. They couldn't steal from the master." Let’s go eat~~
The reason why she dared to say this was because one day she saw Zhou Qian coming out of Bingyue Pavilion. If Zhou Qian had an affair with his wife, he would be dead if found out.
Will her opportunity come then? She also wants to take the position of Madam.
These words really touched the heart of Zhou Chenxiang. The aunts in the mansion were all young and beautiful. Zhou Qian stayed with him every day and had the most contact with them.
He suddenly disappeared in the house, where could he go? Maybe he stole his food as Xiao Shiyi said?
Thinking of this, Zhou Chenxiang became uneasy and got out of bed to get dressed.
He quickly walked out of the room and glanced at Aunt Jiang coldly, "Go back to Lanhua Pavilion quickly, otherwise you won't be able to be an aunt anymore." After saying that, he summoned the servants and divided them into several groups to go to various courtyards.
