Three days later, the imperial examination was finally released.

In the afternoon of the same day, a dignified and dignified lady appeared in Chen Yu's private residence.

The lady combed her high sideburns, from the physiognomy, at most twenty-seven or eighteen, her makeup was delicate just right, her slender and straight sword eyebrows flew obliquely into the temples, sharp and flamboyant, and her dark red lips were like roses that bloomed to the extreme, more like a dose of poison full of temptation but deadly.

Mrs. only took one chamberlain, and directly broke into the Chen family's private house, which was heavily guarded in the legend, and even Chen Yu's own father could not enter, no one dared to stop her, and let her go all the way unhindered, and came directly to Chen Yu's study.

"Queen Mother......" Chen Yu got up and saluted, and as soon as the words came out, he was rudely interrupted.

"Don't call me the Queen Mother!" Madame waved her long sleeves, was furious, and shouted: "The biggest mistake of the mourning family in this life is that you shouldn't enter the palace, you shouldn't be the queen, and you shouldn't be the queen mother!" ”

Chen Yu pursed his lips, put his hands behind his back, and said nothing, quietly staring at the dark gold fine-grained plate flower on the carpet.

This time, the Queen Mother wanted to support Princess Wanyi's sister-in-law as the top of the list, but that person was really a mediocre talent, but he was recruited as a colt because he was born with a good skin.

Chen Yu has always disdained to be in the company of such people, never looks at each other squarely, and is naturally unwilling to help the Queen Mother to support him to reach the top of the list, as for who is the top of the list, he doesn't care too much, and now that the Queen Mother is in trouble, he has nothing to justify.

"The mourning family heard that a Wanyi came to see you before, and was stopped by your people again. Do you know how many people are impeaching you every day now, saying that you have disgraced the royal family! These things, if it weren't for the mourning family to quietly help you suppress them, how many troubles would you have to cause! ”

In the court, the Queen Mother was full of anger, and she was worried that she couldn't find anyone to vent, and Chen Yu hit the muzzle of the gun this time.

"The mourning family knows that you are not satisfied with the marriage with Wanyi, but the wood is already in the boat, what else can you do? Wanyi has also waited for you for so many years. Even if you're hard-hearted. It's time for her to be covered with heat! This time, the mourning family can not care about it, that Fang Pei is just a son of a poor family, and he can't set off any strong winds and waves. But you can't let Wanyi eat behind closed doors anymore. It's best to pack your things now. Move back to your father-in-law's mansion to live! ”

The Queen Mother chattered endlessly, and she had already lost her breath and turned around. But seeing Chen Yu with a straight face, he neither said yes nor said no, he was there like a wooden stake, he was so angry that he wanted to get angry, but he couldn't do anything about his nephew, who had been spoiled since he was a child, so he had to slow down his tone and asked, "My aunt told you so much, did you hear it?" ”

"I hear you." Chen Yu said perfunctorily with an expressionless face.

"Why don't you do it if you hear that? Don't you still want to resist the decree? The Queen Mother was so angry that she pointed to the door and said indignantly.

"The minister does not dare to resist the decree, but where the minister lives, it is the freedom of the minister, even if you are the queen mother, you have no right to interfere, the queen mother can dismiss the minister's official at any time, but where the minister lives, it is the minister's own business, and the queen mother has no right to interfere." Chen Yu replied with a blank look.

"You're ......!" The Queen Mother was so angry that she had a headache, and angrily walked back and forth in the house twice, saying, "Okay, good! The Queen Mother can't control you, so your aunt and mother-in-law can take care of you! ”

"I can't do it, I said it, it's my personal matter." Chen Yu said with a straight face, his face full of impatience.

"You're ......!" Facing this spoiled nephew, the Queen Mother was helpless, helpless, counted him a few words, and saw that he was indifferent, so she had to go away, anyway, she just wanted to find someone to get angry, and by the way, she gave an explanation to her daughter who had just run to her and cried.

As for Chen Yu, even his own father can't do anything about him.

If there is anyone in this world who can make him obey, it is the first prince, but unfortunately he is no longer alive, but even if the prince is still alive, with his relationship with Chen Yu, he will definitely stand on the side of the brothers who have experienced life and death together.

At night, Cheng Qi came to Chen Yu's private house and put a letter intercepted by his subordinates in front of Chen Yu.

There was nothing written on the envelope, it was blank, but the seal was opened.

Chen Yu glanced at it lightly, raised his eyebrows and looked at Cheng Qi, as if questioning.

"This is a letter sent by Fang Pei at night, he is now the champion, if he reports good news to his family, he doesn't have to wait until the dead of night, his subordinates feel a little strange, so they let people intercept the letter." Cheng Qi explained on the side, obviously, he already knew the content of the letter, and if it was an ordinary family letter, he didn't have to get it to Chen Yu.

After listening to Cheng Qi's answer, he raised his hand idly, picked up the envelope on the table, took out the snow note inside, laid it out and put it in front of him, and looked down idly, his eyes suddenly became bright, as if there were thousands of stars falling into it, dazzling.

The content of the letter is no different from an ordinary family letter, but it is just a good news and greetings to relatives, but the head of the snow note reads: My sister, seeing the words is like meeting!

Fang Pei's sister has only one, and that is Fang Fei, who has been dead for five years.

Fang Pei's purpose in writing this letter to the family, if it wasn't for someone to burn it to the dead Fang Fei, then it could only mean one thing, Fang Fei was still alive! And judging from the content of the letter, it does not look like a sacrifice written in memory of the dead.

"Check it out for me." Chen Yu's hands holding the snow note were clenched into fists, gurgling, and three short words popped out from between his teeth, and his eyes were terrifyingly bright.

Cheng Qi's heart warmed, and he was suddenly a little relieved.

In the past five years, he has never seen such a vigorous look in the eyes of the eldest prince, the eldest prince has been depressed all these years, even if he goes into battle to kill the enemy, there is only a faint look in his eyes, like an ancient well and a deep pool, no life, no waves.

"Yes!" Cheng Qi clenched his fists heavily, turned around and exited the study.

The Chen family's spies were not raised for nothing, and the next morning, Chen Yu received a thick stack of news about Fang Pei in his hands.

According to the information gathered, Fang Pei did have an older sister. But not a sister, but a cousin, named Fang Yan, is said to be a widow, single, with a four-year-old son, and now all the businesses run under the name of the Fang family are taken care of behind the scenes by this woman named Fang Yan.

And the Fang family has indeed been in contact with the regent and his party for a long time, and the Fang family's business has been covered by the regent all these years. For several years. The Fang family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and the regent is naturally getting more benefits, and the Fang family is almost one of the largest consortia behind the regent.

Interestingly, Fang Pei's cousin is in a shallow way. Wear a veil all year round. Only the people closest to her. I saw her appearance, so there were rumors. Fang Yan, who claims to be a widow, is actually the woman behind the regent, and her child is the eldest son of the regent.

Everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the princess had nothing over the years, but the regent had never married a side concubine or a concubine, but it turned out that he had a son for a long time, and he was not afraid that there would be no successor to the throne.

A loud bang rang out in the study, followed by a sparse rustling sound.

Chen Yu sat calmly in the chair behind the bookcase, his face was pale, but his rosewood bookcase handed down from the previous dynasty was shattered into a pile of worthless firewood and wood, and the piles of official documents, pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things on the bookcase were scattered all over the ground, a mess.

Cheng Qi on the other side was startled, his mouth was open enough to swallow a duck egg, and at the same time, he had to admire the subordinates in Chen Yu's mansion for cleaning up very conscientiously, making such a big movement, but there was no dust in the study.

"The eldest son." Cheng Qi swallowed his saliva and said, "No one has seen Fang Yan's appearance, or let's go there in person, maybe it's just a misunderstanding......

"No need!" Chen Yu interrupted rudely with a cold face, his tone was as cold as ice to relieve the heat in June, word by word, and said very clearly: "The Fang family has been passed down from generation to generation, Fang Pei's cousin!" I'm sure she's Fang Fei! ”

Cheng Qi unconsciously shivered, his eldest son's eyes were too terrifying, as if he was about to peel off people's skin and bones, a chill rushed from his tail vertebrae to the heavenly spirit cover, glad that he was not the one who offended his eldest son, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sweat for Fang Pei's 'cousin'.

If she is really Fang Pei's cousin, it would be fine, but if not...... Cheng Qi didn't dare to think about it.

"Where is the Messenger now?" Over the years, Chen Yu has been silent, like a sleeping tiger, once awakened, the elegance is peerless, and the light makes people dare not look directly.

"The subordinates made him unconscious, in an inn outside the city." Cheng Qi also came to the spirit, hugged his fists and replied, with a great momentum of preparing to do a big job.

"Good." Chen Yu said coldly, after speaking, he got up and stepped over the mess on the ground, and ordered outside the study: "Come on, change the table for me, and prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”

After a stick of incense, the study was cleaned up, replaced with a brand new and identical rosewood bookcase, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, all available, and the official documents were neatly placed, as if the previous scene had never happened.

Chen Yu took a piece of snow paper, dipped the pen in ink, and wrote on the paper the two sentences of 'no beautiful figure, empty white blade glow', and wrote the words 'things return to their original owners', after writing, he directly stuffed it into the envelope with the letterhead written by Fang Pei, and then turned around and took down a brocade box from the bookshelf, ordered someone to wrap it in a bag, and handed it to Cheng Qi with the envelope, and instructed: "Go, you must make sure that this letter is delivered to Fang Yan's hands, and you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter." ”

Gangnam, early summer.

A plump woman carrying a basket and followed by a girl of six or seven walked through the alley and knocked on the door of a small house.

Soon, someone came out and took her in.

"It's been raining every day for a long time, and my aunt's rheumatism is again, just a little better, sister-in-law Tian, you go in and talk and pay attention to yourself, don't bother your aunt and grandmother." The mother-in-law who led the way carefully advised.

'Auntie' is the name of the local people for the girl who marries, this Fang Yan has already married and had children, and everyone calls her 'Auntie'.

The woman nodded hurriedly, and said yes again and again, it was the Tian clan who was so arrogant before, but it was her youngest daughter Fang Yuan who was followed behind her.

Five years ago, she suddenly learned that Fang Fei was seriously ill and died, this news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it crushed the Tian family hard.

Not long after, Fang Yuan gave birth to a daughter, and the people in the second room ordered a blood test, and after finding out that Fang Yuan gave birth to not the blood of the Zhao family, they directly sent Fang Yuan's mother and son, who had just given birth, back to Tian's house, which made it even worse for the desperate Tian family.

Fortunately, although Fang Fei is gone, but the two acres of land that he bought before are still there, with his own hands, it is barely possible to support his family, and he was forced to a desperate situation, Tian had to return to his old business, relying on his own hands to support this big family, but it is more difficult to feed a child than to feed an adult, and Tian can't bear it after a toss of three disasters and two diseases.

Although Fang Fei died, there was a Fang Yan in the town, it is said that she is Fang Pei's distant cousin and Fang Geng's niece.

At that time, the two towns had just experienced a natural disaster, the vitality was greatly damaged, although the plague passed, many people could not open the pot, this Fang Yan girl was kind and charitable, and took out a lot of rice and grain from the shop to relieve the villagers, which made everyone escape the catastrophe, and the people in the village were grateful to her.

Fang Yan is a widow, living alone with a son, the mother and son live in a shallow way, and there is a house in the city, only occasionally go back to Fangjia Town to live, Fangjia Town, men, women and children are grateful for her righteousness back then, regardless of men, women and children, they all call her 'aunt and grandmother'.

After beckoning Tian to sit down in the flower hall, the mother-in-law went to the backyard to reply, and through the curtain, Fang Yan's voice floated out faintly, and asked lazily: "What is the matter with her coming to the door, can you inquire clearly?" ”

"Hey, I have inquired clearly, Sister-in-law Tian is for the family affairs of her second girl, a few years ago, when the Tian family couldn't open the pot, the old Liu family at the head of the village often helped their family, and the children of the two families also saw the right eye, so they decided on the family matter."

Speaking of this, the mother-in-law sighed, and then said: "Now the Tian family is rich, but the old Liu family has made the family four walls in order to provide for his son to study, and this year, the old Liu family's kid has not even been a showman, and it just so happens that the Ma family in the town who is playing blacksmiths wants to find a daughter-in-law, and looks at the second girl of Tian's sister-in-law's family, and Tian's sister-in-law moved her mind and wanted to find you to come forward and push the Liu family's family affairs for her." ”

The Liu family is now surrounded by four walls, the Ma family is different, the blacksmith has a fixed income, it is also a craft, and it lives in the town, I don't know how many times better than the Liu family, but after all, the Liu family is kind to the Tian family, and the Tian family is inconvenient to come forward, so I want to come to the 'aunt' to come forward and intercede for myself.

"Grandma, you are just too easy to talk, and now they have to bother you with these little things, and they are too uninteresting." The woman concluded. (To be continued......)
