Qiao Chu's face turned red: "You are becoming more and more shameless!"
"As long as I want my wife! What kind of face do you want?" Chen Qingshan said seriously, and directly stepped forward and hugged Qiao Chu...
The barrier was raised, the mask was removed, and the little red snake quietly went to the fairy space...
"Alas! Don't look there..." Qiao Chu was rarely shy and exclaimed, trying to push someone away.
Someone is persistent: "You are my wife, and I am all sleepy. Let's see what's wrong..."
"You bastard! Don't kiss there..."
"Listen to me in bed! Listen to you everywhere else..."
Early the next morning, Chen Qingshan was taken away by Xu Jingye again, saying that he was going to the military headquarters to meet some colleagues and that he would have dinner before returning.
After dark, Qiao Chu quietly went to the Changping Marquis Mansion.
In the past two days, Qiao Chu had nothing to do, so he went to the streets to inquire. The teahouse was the place where rumors were most likely to be heard. He soon found out the location of the Changping Marquis Mansion and the personnel in the family.
The personnel relations in the Changping Marquis Mansion are somewhat chaotic.
After his wife ran away from home, Marquis Changping took that concubine and gave birth to five more children, the eldest of whom was already over ten years old.
What is even more criticized is that not long after Changping Hou's concubine entered the house, a child appeared. He was already five or six years old. Changping Hou admitted that he was the son of Changping Hou!
In other words, this concubine actually had a secret relationship with Marquis Changping a long time ago and became Marquis Changping's auxiliary concubine!
This is no wonder that Marquis Changping tried so hard to help his concubine become an equal wife. He even used military merit to ask the emperor for a marriage and let the concubine become an equal wife.
Now that the crown prince suddenly came back and confirmed that Mrs. Changping Hou had passed away, the concubine was very excited and had been working very hard to become the step-wife.
After all, as long as she becomes a step-wife, the children she gives birth to will become legitimate sons and daughters. Only with different statuses can they compete for the position of heir apparent.
Such a chaotic and complicated relationship is also astonishing to outsiders...
Now that I’ve found out, it’s time to go and have a look.
It makes that girl Xiaofu feel at ease.
Naturally, it was inappropriate to go through the main entrance, so Qiao Chu chose to climb the wall.
With the help of super perception, Qiao Chu successfully entered the courtyard of Changping Hou Shizi.
The main room in the courtyard was dark, obviously the prince had not returned. Only the room next to where the servants were waiting for rest was lit, and people came in and out from time to time.
Qiao Chu stood in the darkness, listening to the servants talking.
"Isn't the prince back yet?"
"No, I heard that I won't come back until dinner."
"The second young lady of my uncle's family is really infatuated. She has waited for our prince until now..."
"No, you have to wait and become an old girl!"
"No wonder the two families want to have a dinner together. They are in a hurry to get married..."
"When other people's young masters reach this age, they already have three or five children. Our prince still hasn't found a place yet. Can we not be anxious..."
The two servants thought there was no one else in the yard and muttered in low voices, but Qiao Chu heard them clearly.
In the darkness, Qiao Chu looked incomprehensible.
Not long after, a man in a brocade robe strode into the courtyard, followed by a small attendant.
"Shitou, you go down and have a rest." After the man entered the yard, he glanced in Qiao Chu's direction and said to the little follower.
"Yes." The attendant agreed and left the yard.
"You all go down too." The man waved his hand, and the other two servants also left the yard.
When there was no one else in the yard, the man whispered into the darkness: "Come out."
Qiao Chu walked out of the darkness, and the lantern in the corridor illuminated the blurry outline. After the man saw it clearly, he was shocked: "Chu Chu?"
"Brother." Qiao Chu called with a faint smile.
This person is indeed Qiao Dajiang!
In other words, it was Qiao Ancheng, the eldest son of the Changping Hou Mansion who once used the pseudonym Qiao Dajiang.
"Come into the house quickly." Qiao Ancheng looked around and urged in a low voice.
After entering the study, Qiao Ancheng first closed the courtyard door and then the study door, then lit the lamp and asked in a low voice: "Chu Chu, why did you come to the capital? Where is your sister-in-law? How are the children?"
Qiao Chu did not answer Qiao Ancheng's question, but looked at Qiao Ancheng's anxious expression and asked: "Brother, I heard that you are planning to get married?"
Qiao Ancheng felt a little awkward and awkward when he asked this question. After sighing, he explained in a low voice: "I can't help myself now..."
Uncle Zhongyi's eldest daughter married the eldest prince and became the concubine of the eldest prince's palace. Therefore, Uncle Zhongyi was considered to be part of the eldest prince's party.
Uncle Zhongyi's second daughter's maiden name was Liang Ruozhu. She and Qiao Ancheng were distant cousins in their early years. When they were young, the two often played together. The elders in the family also teased each other when they came and went, saying that they wanted to betroth Liang Ruozhu to Qiao Ancheng.
However, the two elders only talked about it and did not actually get engaged.
Qiao Ancheng only took it as a joke, but Liang Ruozhu took it seriously.
So after Qiao Ancheng left with Mrs. Changping Hou when he was nine years old, he forgot about this matter and married a wife and had children in Qiaojia Village.
Liang Ruozhu was only eight years old, but her love roots were planted at an early age. After she got her hair, she refused to marry. She only waited for Qiao Anchang to become an old girl...
Qiao Ancheng didn't necessarily want to marry Liang Ruozhu, nor did he have deep feelings for her.
It's just that now Liang Ruojin, the eldest daughter of the Uncle Zhongyi Mansion, has become the eldest prince's concubine. The eldest prince wants to make Marquis Changping, who holds military power, attach himself to him, so he desperately wants Liang Ruozhu to marry Qiao Ancheng and become his brother-in-law.
Qiao Ancheng knew that the eldest prince acted ruthlessly, and was afraid that his marriage and childbirth in Xing'an County would be known by the eldest prince or people in Zhongyi's Mansion, which would bring disaster to his wife and children, so he kept it secret and did not dare to talk to anyone.
People said that they didn’t dare to contact me.
Who knew that Qiao Chu would magically appear in the capital today...
Qiao Chu frowned when he heard this: In this way, it makes sense...but...
"Didn't you say that you were captured by a young man? How come you didn't join the army but returned to the capital?"
Qiao Ancheng sighed: "Those are not young men, they were sent to find me by my father. At that time, I was afraid that they would hurt your sister-in-law and children, so I could only follow them. But later I found out that those people were all killed by my aunt He.
They had been bribed. They learned that my mother had passed away and wanted to trick me into returning to Beijing so that my father could straighten the He family and then give me chronic poison so that I would die silently not long after I came back...
"
"If I don't come back, the first group of people will be able to find me, and the second group of people will definitely be able to find me. I was afraid that He knew the existence of my wife and children, and would send people to attack my wife and children, so I found an opportunity to kill them all.
Now, I went back to Beijing alone and hid my marriage and children... I have to solve the problem here before I can go back to pick you up..."
