Mrs. Chu Zhengfang returned home, and when she retreated, she showed a tired look, and the whole person couldn't help but relax.

Today's trip to the palace really made her sweat. Several times she thought it was going to be bad, but fortunately, she was clever enough to deal with it properly, and the crown princess Tang did not disappoint her, so she finally kept things under control. Otherwise, the major event that has been planned for a long time will be frustrated, even if it does not affect the current wealth and power of their husband and wife, the future will not be as beautiful as originally expected, which will be too embarrassing.

However, things changed, and Mrs. Chu Zhengfang didn't dare to be careless, so she immediately sent someone to send a letter to her husband. Chu Zhengfang knew that his wife was going to enter the palace today, because it was related to whether the face of the Chu family could be saved, he was quite concerned, even in the city guard yamen, he was a little absent-minded, and as soon as he got the news sent by his wife, he immediately found a reason to leave early.

When he returned home, he didn't even bother to change his clothes, so he asked his wife: "How is it? When you enter the palace today, the crown princess has agreed to your request?"

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang said angrily: "Don't mention it! It really scared me a lot today!" and told me about today's experience in the palace. Since there were only husband and wife in the house, she also repeated all the words she had said to the crown princess Tang later, and finally sighed: "Fortunately, I should be fast, and the crown princess has been fooling me a lot recently, so I brought people back." Otherwise, if she is a little dissatisfied with our husband and wife from the Wei family, it will not be so easy for us to talk to her in the future! Really, how much effort have we spent on her? If we do something else, we can't do anything? We can only worry about her alone, but we can't ensure that she will definitely be at our mercy, which is really infuriating!"

"What nonsense?!" Chu Zhengfang glared at his wife and glanced in the direction of the door and window, "Even if it is in your own home, you have to be cautious, how do you know that all the people in this house must be credible?

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang covered her mouth and said with a dry smile: "No, right? In our own yard, who else has an outside heart? I have already cleaned it up, and I have ensured that the yard is full of our own henchmen, and even the rough mother-in-law who does the sprinkling and sweeping in the yard is also tight-mouthed!"

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, not to mention that our idea does not know how many people's road to wealth and nobility has been blocked?" Chu Zhengfang said solemnly, "No matter how cautious it is, it is not too much. People's hearts are unpredictable, has the crown princess been wary of us?!"

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang had to honestly bow her head and admit her mistake.

Chu Zhengfang actually just asked his wife to come up with a correct attitude, not that he had to scold people to the point of blood, and when he saw her admit her mistake, he let it go. It's just that he is a little dissatisfied with his wife's efficiency in the East Palace: "Although this time, you seem to have fooled the crown princess, but if she thinks about it later, she is a little clear, or she is discovered by the prince, and if she persuades a few words, maybe she will understand, it is really too risky." All our wealth and glory now are pinned on the crown princess, but the crown princess refuses to follow our advice in everything, and there is still some heat left. If we continue like this, it will be very bad for us. You have to think quickly and convince the crown princess to accept the proposal and arrange our people into the East Palace. We can't always count on her, she can't give birth to a son, at most it's just a leverage. ”

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang complained in a low voice: "I have tried my best, and now she is also a little tempted, maybe she will nod her head in a few days." Don't I want to push more? But if I push hard, I'm afraid she'll be suspicious. She is very attentive now, although it will be easier for her to believe that we have to speak ill of other people in front of her. But she is not only for the queen mother, the emperor and the prince, but also for us. I didn't dare to take the risk, so I had to take my time. Uncle, don't rush me, where can I be in a hurry about this kind of thing?"

She sighed again: "If Lord Minshun can be closer to our son, things may go a little smoother." But the county lord's temper is so weird, I really don't know what she is thinking. I have the heart to get closer to her, but she is becoming more and more estranged from me, seeing that my nose is not a nose and her eyes are not eyes in the face of me and my son, and she refuses to pay attention to our daughter, and even helps the Cai family speak in front of the crown princess. If I hadn't found out in time, and let Mama Cen find a way to support the county lord and let her have a gap with the princess's mother, maybe it would have been a bad thing a long time ago! But after all, she is the only flesh and blood of the crown princess, and the crown princess can't really be separated from her, I want to do something, and I can't do it, otherwise I won't leave such a hidden danger. ”

"What are you still saying!" Chu Zhengfang said angrily, "If you hadn't coveted the wealth of the lord at the beginning, and had the idea of letting your son marry the county lord of Minshun, maybe the county lord would not have been wary of our family." The county lord was still very close to me when I was a child, why didn't I see her look at you at that time? Fortunately, the crown princess never got into trouble with us because of the county lord's thoughts, otherwise you would be a sinner in our family!"

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang's face became ugly, but she was speechless to justify. She also knew that she was a little reckless at the beginning, but this was also a mother's heart.

Although the eldest son has always been in good health, he is really not the material for reading, and he has learned martial arts very often, and the art of war is far from being proficient, only riding and archery can be considered masterable. With such ability, should he be allowed to join the army as a petty military attaché? Without military merits, he will definitely be promoted slowly, and his official position will not be much higher. Now that her son is of marriage age, she has to start looking for him. If the eldest son is a few years younger, it would be easy for the husband and wife to be promoted to a higher position before considering marriage, but now they can't get up or down...... really want to marry one for their son, and their husband and wife are wronged for their son!

Since his family is close to the crown princess, and the county lord of Minshun is about to reach the age of marriage, if his son can marry the lord of Minshun, he will not have to worry about wealth and glory for the rest of his life! The lord of Minshun will be the eldest princess of the new monarch in the future, and her status is noble, and no one can reach her, and her concubine, as long as she does not do anything rebellious, can follow the scenery of a lifetime! Although it is said that if the lord is still the lord, it is equivalent to the future of participating in politics, but their eldest son is not a talented person in the first place, and it is enough to be able to get a family affair that is extremely rich and noble, and to ensure the glory and wealth of his life. But the lord of Minshun didn't look down on their son......

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang was secretly unwilling in her heart, thinking that the county lord of Minshun was still young and his health was not very good, if she could persuade the crown princess to marry her daughter later, it would take at least four or five years. For such a long time, maybe the big thing that their husband and wife were planning had been successful, and at that time, if she still wanted the lord of Minshun to be her daughter-in-law, she might not be able to make her wish come true.

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang secretly buried this thought in her heart, and did not mention it in front of her husband, so as not to be reprimanded by him again.

She changed the subject.

Because of the Queen Mother's intervention, the rumors of Wei's reprimand have spread to everyone, and it is no longer meaningful to support the Wei family and the Wei family at this time. Moreover, even if Cai Shengnan's reputation is trampled into the mud, it is just dealing with a Cai family girl, and there is not much threat to Yunyang Hou. Originally, the Chu family could also use the demotion of the Wei family to attack the Marquis of Yunyang for personal vendettas, but the Queen Mother spoke, and the matter became a foregone conclusion. If people say that Yunyang Hou is at fault at this time, they will slap the queen mother in the face.

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

Fortunately, the Queen Mother only said to the outside world that the Wei family and the Wei family were not the same, even if she reprimanded the Chu family, she did not count Chu Zhengfang and his wife, and their husband and wife did not seem to be affected too much now. However, they should not be taken lightly. The Chu family has suffered a loss, and their husband and wife still need to be appeased, otherwise, the Chu family's heart will deviate, which will also be unfavorable to them.

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang complained: "This matter was originally theirs. Wei is just a woman, and there is nothing to think about carefully. But since Yunyang Hou has already made a move, they should rein in. Originally, it was just a dispute between the Wei family and the Cai family, but now our Chu family has been involved. If it weren't for what they kept saying, Uncle was the future head of the Chu family, and he should be the master of the Chu family, how could we fall into such an embarrassing situation now?!"

"Don't say it!" Chu Zhengfang's face was even more gloomy than his wife, "I am the natural candidate for the head of the Chu family, if I don't come forward, can I still be cheaper than others? As the eldest sister-in-law, you should care more about your younger siblings, how can you still be resentful and say that theirs is not in front of me?!"

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang felt aggrieved, but she lowered her head and didn't dare to argue. Chu Zhengfang reprimanded his wife, and also eased his expression slightly: "Okay, now that the Queen Mother has made a move, my cousins and sisters can only endure this." You explain her a lot, let her not think too much, and it is serious to have a good baby. As long as she gives birth to an heir for her cousin, are we afraid that we won't be able to save face for her when we gain power in the future?"

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang agreed, and stood up with an unnatural face: "Then I'...... I'm going to see my cousins. Chu Zhengfang nodded, and she turned around and left.

She walked out of her yard with a stiff face, but did not go to the courtyard of the other house, but walked to a secluded place, facing a row of flowers and trees under the wall, and stood for a long time, before her face slowly eased, and she could barely put on a smiling face and face the others.

At this time, there was a curling figure on the path not far away, and Mrs. Chu Zhengfang recognized it as her husband's cousin, Chu Yuniang, who lived according to their husband and wife after losing her parents, so she sank her face: "Yu Niang, where are you going? This is the way out, right?"

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

Mrs. Chu Zhengfang was angry, so she couldn't help but be a little angry: "Why don't you speak? Where are you going? Don't tell me, you're going to see your grandfather again? I told you a long time ago that your grandfather was a criminal official of the Shu Palace, and he was lucky enough to escape the crime and lose his official position." You stay away from them, so that you don't get contaminated. Why don't you just refuse to obey?!"
