"Mother, give me an explanation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "After Wang Da and Sun Hu were escorted down, Li Chengqi threw out such a sentence. His eyes looked at the bright sunlight outside the room, but he was so cold that he didn't look at it at all.

"What? The person who should be punished has been punished, for the sake of the daughter of the Shen family, what do you want to do to your mother? In front of the Hou Mansion, Jiao's voice was fierce. She looked straight at Li Chengqi's side face, full of aura that put him in the place of unfilial piety. She also went further: "Even if you think that Wang Da and Sun Hu were instructed by me, so what? Could it be that you also want to drive your mother out of the Hou Mansion? ”

"My mother is at fault first, I don't know how to reflect on my own mistakes, and I am aggressive, where is the demeanor of a housewife?" Li Chengqi looked at her with no intention of backing down in his eyes.

"I don't have the demeanor of a housewife?" Jiao's eyes widened with yellow eyes, and in a fit of anger, he actually took out the key to the backyard of the Hou Mansion and slammed it on the table, "If you think that your mother is not suitable for this family, you can take away the key to the backyard of the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion is a general officer, and whoever you want to run it, give the key to whomever you want!" ”

Li Chengqi didn't make a sound, only looked back at Jiao fixedly.

"Auntie......" Jiao Huaiyu couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that things were getting bigger and bigger. She thought about it and hurriedly persuaded Jiao's: "The eldest cousin didn't mean that, my aunt was angry." Wang Da and Sun Hu's rudeness to Miss Shen in the middle of the night was not instructed by their aunt, their aunt just had no way to discipline her, so she just admitted her mistake, so why joke with the key to the backyard of the Hou Mansion? Auntie, put the key away, right? ”

"Yes, old lady," Yuerong, who was standing beside Jiao's side, also whispered to dissuade. She also picked up the key and wanted to hand it back to Jiao. Why didn't Li Chengqi say soft words, and Jiao's refused to take back the key? Seeing that Jiao Shi didn't pay attention, she had to put the key back on the table, retreat to the side, and say no more.

"Auntie......" Jiao Huaiyu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Jiao Huaiqing. Jiao Huaiqing tugged at her sleeve and motioned her not to say more.

Inside and outside the house, there was silence. Everyone was thinking about what Ning Anhou's next move would be.

Everyone saw that Li Chengqi slowly stretched out his hand, took the key into his hand, and said with the corners of his lips slightly raised: "It's okay." The mother is old and easy to be confused, and she is indeed not suitable for taking care of the affairs of the Hou Mansion. He glanced at Shen Yan, suddenly threw the key to Zhong Ce, and ordered: "Before I get married, the affairs of the mansion will be handled by Steward Zhong." ”

Everyone was shocked.

"This ......" Zhong Ce took the key, immediately knelt in front of the hall, and said in fear, "How can the old slave be able to take the key to this backyard even if he dies!" I also hope that Hou Ye will take back his life. ”

"If you ask you to pick it up, you will take it." Li Chengqi frowned coldly.

"Big cousin, how can the key to the Hou Mansion be handed over to an inferior person?" Jiao Huaiyu jumped out first to object. "Even if my aunt doesn't want to take charge of the affairs of the Hou Mansion, this key, no matter what, it won't be a subordinate to control it."

"Who do you think should have the key to the backyard?" Li Chengqi glanced at her, and suddenly added, "Are you?" ”

Jiao Huaiyu was speechless when he heard this, and his face was red.

"I think Yu'er is the most suitable." Jiao Shi walked out of the previous gloom, as if he had got a chance to flop, stood up with a smile, and said solemnly to Li Chengqi, "Wei Niang has already had an idea, I want to promise Yu'er to you to be my wife, and from now on, it is very suitable for Yu'er to take charge of the backyard affairs." Seeing that Li Chengqi had the intention of refusing, Jiao Shi hurriedly blocked his mouth, "Marriage matters, since ancient times, follow the words of the matchmaker of the parents, in this matter, Qi'er also has to go against the mother?" ”

Li Chengqi was silent, and finally smiled ruoruly, "I won't talk about marriage today." Regardless of whether I marry my cousin according to my mother's wishes in the future, before that, the key to the backyard of the Hou Mansion is held by Steward Zhong. Immediately, he instructed Zhong Ce: "Steward Zhong, the prince and his entourage are going to stay in the Hou Mansion in the evening, so hurry up and bring someone to prepare to welcome you." ”

"What? The prince is coming to the Hou Mansion? Many people were surprised when they heard this, but Jiao Shi complained: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming to the Hou Mansion for such a big matter, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"Mother doesn't need to worry about it, Steward Zhong will handle the matter of welcoming the car."

Hearing this, Jiao was so angry that the folds on his face seemed to have increased. Seeing Zhong Ce and his subordinates disperse, she sat back in her position weakly. Now she was deprived of her rights in the Hou Mansion for no reason, and she was really unwilling.

"Come with me." Li Chengqi walked up to Shen Yan and whispered.

Soon, there were only Jiao's and Jiao's brothers and sisters left in the house, as well as a few servants such as Yuerong who were waiting for the left and right. They looked at Jiao's dark face, and they didn't dare to speak easily.

"Auntie......" After a long time, Jiao Huaiyu stepped forward and called carefully.

"Alas," Jiao sighed and took off all his strong coats, revealing the fragility of a mother who had been hurt by her son, "people are old and useless." Your eldest cousin has grown up, and he doesn't need me as an old woman to take care of it. ”

"Auntie......" Jiao's pitiful appearance actually made Jiao Huaiyu cry. She threw herself under her knee and choked up, "Auntie, don't worry, you still have Yu'er, and my brother." ”

Jiao Shi glanced at Jiao Huaiyu who was kneeling on his knees, couldn't help but stroke her back, and suddenly made up his mind and promised: "Yu'er, after a while, I will definitely handle your marriage with your eldest cousin, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

Jiao Huaiyu was overjoyed, but when she thought of Li Chengqi's disobedience, she became worried again, "Will my eldest cousin marry me?" ”

"I can still do this, Lord." Jiao Shi affirmed.

Listening to these words, Jiao Huaiqing on the side was speechless.

"Huaiqing," just as Jiao Huaiqing was thinking about it, Jiao suddenly called him and instructed, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince this time, you have to grasp it well." ”

"Yes." Jiao Huaiqing agreed.

Originally, the current queen is the cousin of the Jiao family and the cousin of the father of the Jiao brothers and sisters, according to this relationship, the current queen is the cousin of the Li brothers, but she is the cousin of the Jiao brothers and sisters, the relationship between the Jiao brothers and sisters and the queen should have been close to the relationship between the Li brothers and the queen, but unfortunately, their parents died early and have no family business, so how easy is it to climb the queen and the prince?

After Jiao's disappointment in his own son, although he had the intention to let Jiao Huaiqing take the line of the prince, Jiao Huaiqing also understood in his heart that he had no power, no power and no status, and the prince would not look down on him. Therefore, he promised in his mouth, but he may not have the same calculation in his heart. He will never forget that when he was a child, he entered the palace with Li Chengqi and the Jiao family to see Empress Minjia, who was still Concubine Min at that time, and Empress Minjia didn't even look at him. And at that time, the crown prince, who was still the prince, looked at him, but he just looked at a dog beside Li Chengqi.

The high-ranking prince is coming to the Hou Mansion this time, he doesn't want some tricks and good hospitality, he feels sorry for the insult he suffered in vain.
