At this time, Shangguan Mansion, the three-room Murong Luan Courtyard.

"Madam, the master is back." A maid who was in charge of cleaning in the courtyard outside shouted inside, and it didn't take long for Murong Luan to see a familiar figure coming back from outside, that person was not anyone, it was Shangguan Kuo, her husband.

Shangguan Kuo doesn't have any serious business, so he does reselling business all day long, but unfortunately his vision is always a little worse, and he always can't find the right time.

"Why don't you hurry up and bring up the tea? I'm dying of thirst, and there's really no one in this courtyard who is neat! Shangguan Kuo sat down in the room with a bad mood, shook the empty teapot, and shouted impatiently.

Seeing Shangguan Kuo's appearance, Murong Luan was only angry, looking at the return of the big house, carrying a large bag for the children, her family only knew how to lose money to the family day by day.

Of course, she just thought about it, she didn't dare to say it, if she did, I'm afraid she would have to quarrel with Sanfang every day, and in the end, she would fight? She is a smart person, and she knows that she can't beat him, so she naturally won't go through this troubled water.

"Master, look at it, the uncle is back, if you still look like a hanger, how can we have face at home in the second room?" She stepped forward and pinched Shangguan Kuo's shoulders and said slowly. This was a tactful remark, which did not hurt too much, but reminded him.

Sure enough, as soon as Shangguan Kuo heard that his eldest brother was back, his face was wrong on the spot, and he originally looked very angry, but now he immediately looked like a deflated sandbag.

Shangguan Qing's existence is the same as "someone else's child" to Shangguan Kuo, he is always the best in all subjects, and he can always compare to him in everything, so to speak, Shangguan Qing is a thorn in his heart.

This feeling is not only unique to Shangguan Kuo, but also to his second brother Shangguan Cheng, so they teamed up to sell their eldest brother's only daughter, Shangguan Li, so that he could taste what it was like to be inferior.

I never thought that the daughter who was sold would finally return to Zhao, and even recognized her ancestors and returned to her ancestors, which made them so angry that they didn't think about a good meal, but they were helpless. can only make things difficult for Shangguan Yao openly and secretly, so that she feels that she can't live in this mansion, and takes the initiative to get out.

"When did that guy come back? Does the second brother know? Shangguan Kuo was obviously displeased, reached out and knocked away Murong Luan's hand on his shoulder, and asked coldly.

He has never been very satisfied with this wife, and only gave birth to such a useless daughter, what big can this daughter's family do? It's good to be able to marry a good son-in-law, can you have any other greater hopes for her? That is naturally impossible, and she can't take the imperial examination.

If he has a son, it will be different, if he is smart enough to come back from the exam, he can rely on his son's leadership and raise his eyebrows in this huge courtyard.

Yes, Shangguan Kuo has recently been particularly fortunate to have a pregnant Aunt Shen, Aunt Shen is also cautious, and she has also lived in her courtyard in recent days, far away from Murong Luan, so as not to suffer disaster.

"The second uncle naturally heard the rumors, after all, as soon as this uncle comes back, there will be more gods in our house for no reason to offer, how can you not know?" Murong Luan sensed the impatience in his tone, so he cursed the fox Aunt Shen several times in his heart, but he still said in a soft tone.

Since Aunt Shen's ghostly fox spirit became pregnant with a child, this Shangguan Kuo's attitude towards her has taken a 180-degree turn, and he always ignores her like this. People who don't know think that she is not a wife at all, but just a concubine who was casually hired halfway.

The cheap seed in the belly of the little slut naturally can't be kept, if she really gives birth to a son to Shangguan Kuo, she will once be a mother with a son, and her position in this backyard will not be guaranteed.

Every time like this, she would resent Shangguan Li for being a girl, if she was a boy, how good would it be? The person who is sad here today is the childless Aunt Shen, not her Murong Luan.

"Third master, Xiaochun in the courtyard of the second master is here, saying that the second master and the second lady invited you to the courtyard to enjoy the flowers, and the second master brought a pot of Yaohu chrysanthemum from the Western Regions from outside, which looks so good!" At this time, the next person hurriedly came to report.

Good guy, the second room has already received the news. Shangguan Kuo stretched out his hand to rub his chin, and he already had an idea in his heart.

In the courtyard of the large house.

"The eldest master, the second and third masters heard that you are back, and specially prepared a reception banquet for you, inviting you to gather in Chunfeng Building today, saying that the big guys have not eaten together so lively for a long time." Bai Yu packed up the things he brought, and heard the voice of the little guy outside the door.

Shangguan Qing and Qin Xue were naturally a little surprised, for so many years, it was not the first time that Shangguan Qing suddenly went home, every time before, they were so casually prevaricated by the people in the second and third rooms, why did they suddenly remember to have a reception banquet today? It's really a weasel that the rat should pay a New Year's greeting, and he is uneasy and kind.

"Help me tell the second and third brothers, I know, and I'll go to Chunfeng Tower with them later." Shangguan Qing casually supported a maid who was doing things underneath and asked her to pass the word to the little girl.

After the little guy left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn, and although Bai Yu was only an outsider, he clearly felt it. Obviously, the people in the big house don't want to get mixed up with the people in the second and third rooms, how those people treat their daughters, they are obvious to all, and they are not big hearts, they can do nothing.

"Bai shopkeeper, what do you say," somehow, Shangguan Qing's first reaction was to ask Bai Yu. But in the middle of his words, he stopped abruptly.

Because he suddenly realized that Bai Yu was just a medicinal dietitian, not Zhuge Kongming, and he was afraid that this matter would embarrass her. And this is a family matter, and asking outsiders' opinions will be more or less inappropriate.

"Yes, Xiaoyu, why don't you help us think of an idea? These second and third uncles must have bad intentions and want my father to eat deflated, although I don't know what they want to do now, but I already have a hunch, this must be a Hongmen banquet! When he said the three words Hongmen Banquet, Shangguan Yao subconsciously trembled, and then held Bai Yu's hand tightly.

Qin Xue's expression was also extremely unnatural, she had always been used to being alone, and she didn't want to get involved in those messy things, but today the enemy took the initiative to come to the door, but there was no reason not to fight, which really made her feel very aggrieved.

"Okay, Yao girl, don't embarrass the shopkeeper, they have done enough."
