The atmosphere in the hall of Princess Yan's courtyard was a little dignified. Princess Yan sat on the main seat with a pale face, looking condescendingly at the few people sitting in the hall. Among them, the first is the gray-haired Zhou Xiang and the spring of the Hubei Kingdom. Further down sat Gao Yibo, who was expressionless, and Mrs. Gao Yibo, who was crying.

On the other side, there were three young ladies from the Yan Wang's Mansion sitting in turn, but the three of them had different expressions. Chen's face was not about himself, and there was still a little excitement in his eyes, Zhu Chuyu's expression was solemn and silent, and Sun Yan'er looked at the two sisters-in-law beside her, and she also didn't say anything. On such occasions, they can't interject.

"Duke E, Lord Zhou, what do you mean by this?" Princess Yan said in a deep voice.

Zhou Xiang snorted coldly, "The old man also wants to ask Princess Yan what the Yan Palace's Mansion means." The county lord of Shanjia was almost assassinated on his wedding night, shouldn't the Yan Wangfu give an explanation to the imperial court and Gao Yibo's mansion? ”

Princess Yan sneered and said, "Joke, the assassin broke into the Yan Palace, and the two sons and daughters-in-law of this concubine were all present, could it be that the county lord of Shanjia was alone?" At this time, the Yan Wangfu will naturally investigate to the end, but what does it mean to give an explanation to the imperial court and Gao Yibo's mansion? Zhou Xiang smiled meaningfully, "His Royal Highness King Yan has hundreds of thousands of troops, and King Yan's Mansion is even more heavily guarded. On the wedding night, the assassin was allowed to break into the palace of King Yan and commit murder. The assassin was not His Royal Highness King Yan or the important ministers of the court, but the bride who had just gotten married? Who believes this when Princess Yan says it? ”

"Presumptuous!" Princess Yan was furious, stared at Zhou Xiang and said, "Lord Zhou, this concubine thinks that you are the old minister of the first emperor to give you some face." The crime of slandering the prince, you are afraid that you can't afford it. ”

Zhou Xiang sneered, "Whether it is slander or not, His Royal Highness King Yan and Princess Yan know it in their hearts." ”

Princess Yan took a deep breath and leaned firmly on Mrs. Gao Yibo, who was still crying, and Gao Yibo, who was sitting on the side without saying a word. Said lightly: "Since Lord Zhou absolutely wants to murder the Lord of Shanjia, that Gao Yibo Mansion will take people back." Such a precious daughter-in-law, I can't afford it in Yanwangfu. ”

Zhu Chuyu's face turned pale suddenly, and he got up and knelt down in the hall, "Mother forgiveness, daughter-in-law... The daughter-in-law never meant that! ”

"Unfortunately, that's what your parents apparently meant." Princess Yan said lightly, "According to Lord Zhou's guess, this time the matter has been clarified, and Concubine Ben will not dare to keep you." If we bump into it in the Yanwang Mansion in the future, we can't afford it. ”

"Mother concubine..."Zhu Chuyu's mouth was bitter, he got up and walked to Zhou Xiang and the others, Ying Ying bowed and said: "Lord Zhou, Eguo Gong, father, mother, I believe in Yan Wangfu, what happened last night really has nothing to do with them." I am already the daughter-in-law of Yan Wangfu, please Lord Zhou and the Duke of Eguo to take a clear look. E Guogong nodded, looked at Zhou Xiang and said, "Lord Zhou, let's wait until the matter is clear." ”

Zhou Xiang smiled, "On the boundary of Youzhou, unless His Royal Highness King Yan wants to check, who can find out?" ”

Zhu Chuyu gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Zhou, since Zhu Chuyu has married into the Yanwang Mansion, he will be a person from the Yanwang Mansion in life, and he will be a ghost in the Yanwang Mansion in death!" Even if something really happened, Zhu Chu said that his fate should be like this, and he had nothing to do with others. ”

"Yu'er, ...... you" Gao Yibo sighed and shook his head.

Princess Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and she looked at Zhu Chuyu without speaking.

"On the first day of the wedding, I can't do anything dead or alive." Outside the door, Nangong Mo's voice came with a faint smile. Zhou Xiang frowned, and fought with Nangong Mo several times to let him know that this woman who was not more than twenty was very difficult to deal with.

Seeing Nangong Mo strolling in, a smile appeared in Princess Yan's eyes. beckoned to her and said, "Disturbing you and the fifth sister again?" Come and sit down. ”

Nangong Mo nodded, walked to Princess Yan's side, turned to look at Zhou Xiang and said, "I heard that Lord Zhou accepted Lord Shanjia as his goddaughter. It's for the good of my granddaughter, and I shouldn't be so troublesome on the first day of my wedding. Zhou Xiang sneered and said, "It is for the sake of Lord Shanjia that the old man has to say." Yan Wangfu dared not to mention such a big thing, who knows what will happen in the future. Could it be that the Yan Wangfu is dissatisfied with His Majesty's marriage? ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, and Princess Yan's face sank, "Lord Zhou, do you have to plant last night's incident on King Yan's mansion?" ”

"Don't dare." Zhou Xiang said proudly: "The old man is just telling the truth. ”

To tell the truth, Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "Lord Zhou, may I ask, what evidence do you have?" ”

Zhou Xiang said: "What evidence is needed for this?" In addition to Yan Wangfu, is there anyone else who has this ability and motive? ”

Nangong Mo turned his head and blinked, and said with a smile: "The county lord thinks that Lord Zhou's motives are greater. Lord Zhou is so deliberate and wants to frame Yanwangfu, who knows if you sent someone to assassinate the newcomer and then want to blame Yanwangfu? Perhaps, it is best to kill the two sons of Yanwangfu together? ”

"Nonsense! Why did the old man frame the Yan Palace?! Zhou Xiang said angrily.

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, "It turns out that Lord Zhou also knows that this is nonsense." The county lord also wanted to ask Lord Zhou. Lord Zhou, are you a mad dog? When you see someone, you bite. ”

"The junior is rude!" Zhou Xiang's face turned purple with anger, he has lived for such an age, and being scolded as a mad dog is definitely the first time in his life.

Princess Yan sneered: "This concubine looks rude to you Lord Zhou, right?" can slander the prince of the dynasty without evidence, it turns out that this is the style of the emperor. Very good! Concubine Ben was a little suspicious, could it be that His Majesty asked Lord Zhou to frame our prince? What exactly does Majesty want to do? If there is any dissatisfaction with our prince, he will order to kill our family. Horizontally and vertically, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. ”

"Princess, this is serious." Eguo said openly.

Princess Yan was angry, and said to the princess of Eguo: "The prince of the country is also watching here, and he happens to be a witness for the concubine." Since Lord Zhou and this Mrs. Gao Yibo came to Yanwang Mansion, what have they done? Is there anything in my Yanwang Mansion that can't stand them, or what does the prince have with them

Does it mean that the prince has a deep hatred with them? ran to the concubine without evidence to accuse the Yan Wangfu of killing the daughter-in-law who had just passed the door. The sword has no eyes, and the two sons of the concubine were also present at the time. Take 10,000 steps back and say, that is, the Yan Wangfu really wants to be unfavorable to the Lord of Shanjia, is it stupid enough to do it in that situation last night? ”

E Guogong sighed, he also understood that they didn't take care of this matter at all. It's just that this time he came to Jinling to focus on Zhou Xiang, and to put it bluntly, he was a person who came to press the field. Whatever he said, Zhou Xiang could listen to it, but he couldn't do anything if he couldn't listen to it.

"The matter of the Yan Wangfu, the old man will tell His Majesty the truth." In other words, no matter how Zhou Xiang guessed and thought, he would only say what he saw. Princess Yan naturally believed in Yuan Chun's character, nodded and said, "Thank you, Old Guogong." ”

"Someone!" Outside the door, there was the angry voice of King Yan.

King Yan walked in quickly with an angry and gloomy expression, followed by Princess Changping Wei Junmo and the three brothers of the Xiao family. Several guards walked in and said in unison, "Lord Wang! ”

"Drive Zhou Xiang and the people of Gao Yibo's Mansion out of the mansion to this king!" King Yan said sharply.

"His Royal Highness King Yan!" Zhou Xiang got up abruptly and shouted loudly. He couldn't believe that King Yan dared to be so rude. King Yan looked back at him and said coldly: "This king doesn't care what you want to say to His Majesty, don't let me go now." Otherwise, the king's sword will not recognize people! ”

"The old man will definitely tell His Majesty about this!" Zhou Xiang was pulled up by the two guards left and right, struggling and shouting.

King Yan sneered: "Whatever." You might as well sue the emperor when you go back, the king's head is here, and he can wait for him to cut it off at any time! In the future, give this Wang Wan less sneaky things. Get lost! ”

"Father..."Seeing his parents being dragged out by the guards, Zhu Chuyu couldn't help but want to speak. Without waiting for her to finish, King Yan said lightly: "You can also go with them." ”

Zhu Chuyu's face changed, he shook his lips and lowered his head.

"King Yan! The old man will definitely ask His Majesty to administer justice! Zhou Xiang's call came from outside the door. King Yan frowned and said, "Gagged and threw it out!" ”

In the hall, only the Duke of E was left. When such a thing happened, E Guogong didn't have the shame to say anything more. No matter what happened to the assassin last night, Zhou Xiang shouldn't have so arbitrarily pinned the matter on the head of the Yan Wangfu. Sighing, the Duke of Eguo arched his hand towards King Yan and said, "Lord Wang, I have offended." The old man also took his leave. "The group has been kicked out, and he can't still live in the Yanwang Mansion. Instead of being embarrassed, it's better to go back early.

King Yan nodded slightly, "Chi'er, send Guogong out." ”

"Yes, Father." Xiao Qianchi stepped forward and said, "Eguo Gong, please." ”

Eguo said goodbye and followed Xiao Qianchi out.

The outsiders left, but the atmosphere in the hall became more and more solemn. Looking at King Yan's ugly others, the people in the hall didn't even dare to say a word. It took a long time before I heard King Yan grit his teeth and say, "Xiao Qianye'er, you deceive people too much!" ”

"Father, please calm your anger." Zhu Chuyu was slightly blessed and said softly.

King Yan glanced at her sideways and didn't speak. Zhu Chu said: "This matter may not be... His Majesty means that if his father loses his mind when he is angry, maybe he will fall into someone else's calculations. ”

King Yan looked at Zhu Chuyu and said lightly: "You are smart." Zhu Chuyu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "The daughter-in-law doesn't dare, since the daughter-in-law married into the Yanwang Mansion, she is a person from the Yanwang Mansion." I only want to be shared by my father, mother, and husband. ”

Princess Yan, who was sitting next to her, also spoke and said, "Lord Wang, what Wei's daughter-in-law said is good. This matter needs to be carefully investigated. ”

King Yan snorted lightly and said, "This king knows. ”

"Then, Zhou Xiang ......" Princess Yan is still a little hesitant, in the end, it is the emperor's envoy, and it is not good to drive people out of the Yan Palace. King Yan waved his hand, not caring at all, and said, "Don't worry about them, drive them out!" If you keep putting up with him, he really makes this king is bun! ”

Princess Yan sighed, nodded, and said, "That's fine." "If you rush to catch up, if you regret it and keep it, then the people of Yanwangfu will be lost. What's more, with Zhou Xiang's character, he is bound to hate Yan Wangfu, and now there is no difference.

On the first day of the wedding of the two sons of Yanwangfu, in full view of everyone, Yanwangfu drove out the envoy sent by the emperor and the maiden father and mother of the second young lady. This hasn't been played yet, the subordinates who blocked the entire palace of Yanwang Mansion that day were exempted, and more than a dozen guards and even ordinary subordinates were beaten to death, and there were not a few other people who were punished. The people of the entire Yanwang Mansion were also silent, for fear that it would be their turn if they were not careful. Thinking back to what happened in the backyard last night, I will be more cautious in my actions in the future.

In the new house, Zhu Chuyu looked at the room where the big red wedding tent had not been removed, and his eyes were slightly lowered and his expression was a little solemn.

The personal dowry girl came in and whispered: "County Lord, the people sent out have returned, saying that the lord and his wife have temporarily settled in the inn in the city, and Lord Zhou and his party will be ready to leave for Jinling in two days." Zhu Chuyu nodded, looked at the girl's speechless appearance, and asked, "What else is going on?" ”

"County Lord, the prince and the princess have just killed the people in the mansion, let's send someone out to see the old lady and let the prince and princess know, isn't it good?"

Zhu Chuyu said lightly: "If I don't pay attention, my father, queen and mother will inevitably think that I am hard-hearted and not good." There's nothing going on in Youzhou anymore, let them go back as soon as possible. ”

"The lord and the lady probably want to wait until the county lord returns to the door."

Zhu Chuyu sneered and said lightly: "In this situation now, what door do you want to go back to?" It's too early to leave, so as not to cause any more trouble. ”

"Yes." The girl responded, and then said, "The steward of the courtyard brought the people below to meet the county lord." "I was supposed to come in the morning, but there were so many things in the house suddenly, and several people were also kicked out of Xiao Qianwei's yard, so I dragged it in

So it dragged on until now. Zhu Chuyu nodded, stood up and said, "Go and have a look." ”

In the flower hall, a steward and a mother-in-law with a group of girls were waiting to meet the master. Princess Yan was strict with her three sons, and the three sons of Yan Wangfu were directly transferred away from her side after the age of eight. The people who serve in close service around him are all boys, not girls.

Seeing Zhu Chuyu bring people in, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I've seen the county lord." "Everyone in the courtyard knows that this second young lady has the status of the county lord of the imperial gift, so she is naturally more respectful.

Zhu Chuyu nodded slightly and said, "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Lord Shire."

Sitting down on the main seat, Zhu Chuyu looked at everyone and said lightly: "You have all seen the things in the mansion today, so I won't say anything, as long as you are loyal to the Yanwang Mansion and serve the second prince well, it is easy to say." I am not a person who treats my subordinates harshly, but if there are those who dare to betray the Lord, their today will be your tomorrow! ”

Although the county lord looked soft and weak, the words he said made people feel a chill rise in their hearts. Thinking of those who were killed and wounded, many of them were people they were usually familiar with, everyone couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly said, "Obey the instructions of the county bishop." Zhu Chuyu nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good." ”

"Bamboo."

The girl named Zhu'er stepped forward, glanced at the tray covered with red silk in the hand of the little girl behind her, and said, "The county lord has just arrived, and it can be regarded as a meeting gift for everyone." The steward is ten taels for one person, and the people below are all above. In addition, the people in our yard will give an extra month of monthly money this month. ”

Hearing that there was a reward, everyone was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked the county lord for the reward.

Zhu Chuyu said indifferently: "You do things well, I will naturally not treat you badly." Let's go, go back and bring me the account books in the second son's courtyard. The steward hesitated, "County Lord, where the second son is..." Zhu Chu said: "Naturally, it is the same as the husband, you can also go and ask him first." ”

"Don't dare." The steward hurriedly said, "The subordinates immediately sent the account books over." ”

Zhu Chuyu explained some things again, and the people saw that she was not arrogant or impatient, but she was skillful in handling things, and she was very fair and convincing, but they admired this new lady a little more.

After sending everyone down, Zhu Chuyu picked up the teacup and took a sip. A faint smile appeared on his lips, and Zhu'er stood beside him and laughed softly: "Sure enough, the county lord is still powerful, and these people are all happy and convinced by the county lord." Zhu Chuyu couldn't help it, and said lightly: "Where is it so easy to make them really surrender?" It's just that I can't figure out my depths yet. ”

Zhu'er said with a smile: "When they know the depth of the county lord, they will only be more obedient to the county lord." ”

Zhu Chuyu smiled faintly and asked, "Have you sent the rewards and gifts from each courtyard?" ”

Zhu'er nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, the county lord is all in order." The subordinates in the house, Princess Changping, the lord of Xingcheng County, and the aunts have all sent what should be sent. ”

"That's good." Zhu Chuyu nodded, sighed and said, "The Yan Wangfu will definitely not treat us now, we must be careful at every turn, and we must not make mistakes." ”

"The slave and maid understand, the county lord can rest assured." Zhu'er said respectfully. Looking at Zhu Chuyu, Zhu'er said a little unwillingly: "It's just that the county lord is too wronged by himself." "That Xiao Er Gongzi is not a very outstanding character, and he is not a son of the world. With the current identity of the county lord, who do you want to marry in Jinling City? Why bother to go all the way to this Youzhou to suffer this, and not be treated well. Zhu Chuyu's decision is not only incomprehensible to Gao Yibo and his wife, but also to the henchmen around her.

Zhu Chuyu stretched out his hand to rub the account book he had just sent in his hand, and said lightly: "Don't worry, it won't be like this soon, and our situation will change." ”

Zhu'er sighed, the idea of the Hengzhu County Lord was not something she could figure out. The county lord is extremely smart, and she naturally has a reason to do so. As subordinates, they only need to carry out the orders of the county lord. Zhu Chuyu glanced at her with a smile and said, "Okay, let's go." Let's see if the second son is back. If she comes back, invite her over, and I'll wait for him to have dinner with him. ”

Zhu'er blessed her body slightly, and said respectfully: "Yes, the slave maid is going." ”
