Chapter 139: The Protector (2nd Update)
Got a guest coming?
Chen Ge was a little stunned, and immediately put Shen Yuchen's matter aside, frowning slightly.
Ling Fang wouldn't call her out to meet a guest for no reason, what kind of guest was so solemn? She looked at the little guy and asked, "Did Steward Ling say that he was a guest from?" ”
"Steward Ling said that these guests are from Xunyang."
The little guy immediately said: "It is said that it is a person from the lady's family, and seeing that the New Year is approaching, he specially represented the elders in the family and came to Jizhou from Xunyang to visit his wife." ”
At this moment, not only Chen Ge, but even Zhong Niang and Lan Yi were shocked.
After Chen Ge was shocked, his eyes were slightly cold.
She didn't think that the people of the Chen family would have any blood affection for her, so they deliberately traveled thousands of miles to see her.
What did they come to Jizhou for? It seems that it will take a while to find out in person.
So he nodded and said lightly: "Lead the way." ”
Chen Ge cleaned up briefly, and followed the little servant to the front hall.
In the front hall, Ling Fang was entertaining those guests.
When those people saw her, they immediately stood up, led by a young man with a clean and honest face, who took two steps forward with some excitement, but when he was about to meet Chen Ge, he was taken by the coldness in Ling Fang's eyes who was standing aside, and he put down his hand a little stiffly, but he still couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Thirteen Niang, I haven't seen you for nearly half a year since you got married, and it's rare for our brothers and sisters to reunite today! How are you doing in Jizhou? ”
Chen Ge was also a little stunned when he saw the few people who came.
She never expected that it would be them!
A woman with a plain appearance and a woman who didn't look particularly eye-catching, but was very attractive, also took two steps forward with some excitement, biting her lip, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Thirteen Niang, I finally saw you."
The person who came was Chen Hao'an, the eldest son of Chen Shixian, the head of the Chen family, and Chen Li, the fourteenth mother of the family.
The original owner has lived in the Chen family for nearly ten years, although the people of the Chen family are quite affectionate and have been treating her badly, and the Chen family's housewife and her daughter often bully her at will, but if there is anyone in this family who is good to the original owner, it is this Chen Haoan and Chen Li.
Chen Haoan is Chen Shixian's first son, but it's a pity that he is a concubine.
Because of this, the Chen family's housewife has always looked at him unpleasantly, and suppressed and excluded him in private.
It's just that he doesn't seem to care at all, because of the Chen family's housewife, he is now twenty-two years old, and he can only be a small soldier guarding the city gate, and he also looks kind and honest, and he is very good to his younger brothers and sisters, including the original owner.
It's just that Chen Shixian's sons and daughters-in-law are not uncommon, and his goodness is just that.
And Chen Li and Chen Ge are close in age, and her temperament is similar to that of the original owner, and she is quiet, so the two are very compatible.
In the Chen family, Chen Li is the closest to the original owner.
Therefore, seeing Chen Ge, Chen Li's excitement did not need to be detailed, and she couldn't help but stepped forward to hold Chen Ge's hand tightly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Thirteen Niang, Thirteen Niang, ......"
Chen Ge was slightly stunned.
The face of the woman in front of her was not particularly good, she was a little pale, her originally plump lips were also chapped and wrinkled, and the emotions in her eyes seemed to be happy but not happy, and it seemed to be sad but not grieved.
Only one thing Chen Ge is certain, the woman in front of her is full of thoughts.
Judging from the memory of the original owner, although Chen Li is also a little timid and timid, she has always been more optimistic than the original owner, and she is often smiling on weekdays.
She knew about Chen Ge and Shen Yuchen, and often teased her about it, after the holy decree of marriage came down, the original owner cried day and night, and Chen Li often cried with her by her side, it seems that she really regards the original owner as her sister.
It's just that why is she like now? The haggard appearance can also be said to be caused by the overnight rush, and what is the reason for the infinite grief and full of heart?
"The fourteenth sister is a lover, but I haven't seen her for half a year, so it's as if half a lifetime has passed."
A sweet and delicate voice suddenly sounded, and Chen Ge realized that she had just ignored someone.
I saw an innocent woman wearing pink clothes, a very sweet face and a little girlish walked over, sneered at Chen Ge and Chen Shisi Niang, and said: "However, things gather like and people are grouped, and the fourteenth sister has always been close to the thirteenth sister, and it is understandable." ”
It turned out to be Chen Shixian's only daughter, Chen Xinyou, the sixteenth ranked in the Chen family!
Chen Ge couldn't help frowning slightly.
She actually came! She didn't think that Chen Shixian and his wife would rest assured that their baby bump had come to Jizhou.
She said this with a faint sneer, and Ling Fang and a few small servants in Yanhou Mansion on the side immediately darkened their faces.
Chen Haoan hurriedly shouted: "Sixteen, you stole our carriage without telling Daddy and Auntie this time, this is not as good as at home, pay attention to your words and deeds!" ”
At the same time, he was secretly frightened, looking at the appearance of those servants in Yanhou Mansion, it seemed that he attached great importance to Thirteen Niang, as long as they showed a little disrespect to Thirteen Niang, they immediately treated them coldly, so that he couldn't help but sweat coldly.
But doesn't it say ......
He couldn't help but quietly glanced at the thirteen niang in front of him, and saw that although the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, her eyes clearly did not have much smile, and the eyes that looked at them seemed to be looking at them, and the shock in his heart suddenly became stronger.
Such a calm and indifferent woman with hidden wisdom is really the Thirteen Niang he knows?
Also, the thirteen mothers he knows don't seem to be able to come up with a way to resist the smallpox epidemic.
Chen Xinyou saw that this guy dared to teach her, and suddenly his eyebrows were the same, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he shouted: "Don't think that you are qualified to teach me a lesson when you go outside, annoy me, believe it or not, I will go back and tell Daddy and Auntie!" ”
At the same time, he secretly glared at Chen Ge.
What is she angry about? Do you really think you're the hostess here?
What virtues does she not know? is just a weak and incompetent person who has been trampled under her feet, how could she come up with a way to restrain the smallpox epidemic?!
How could Yan Hou pamper such a woman!
She must have used some kind of conspiracy, oh, she can deceive the whole world, don't try to deceive her!
Chen Haoan was stunned by her in front of everyone like this, his face was a little unnatural, he turned to Chen Ge and pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "Thirteen Niang, you know the character of sixteen, don't take it to heart, we just want to visit you this time." ”
The smile on the corner of Chen Ge's mouth remained unchanged, and just as he wanted to say something, Ling Fang on the side suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please go back, Yanhou Mansion does not welcome anyone who is disrespectful to our master." ”
A few small guys on the side were also full of resentment.
In their mansion, they dare to be disrespectful to their wife, when there is no one in their Yanhou Mansion?!
The smile on Chen Haoan's face stiffened slightly, looking at Ling Fang's eyes that had no emotion but gave people a strong sense of oppression for no reason, he forcibly pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "This steward, everything is just a misunderstanding, it's too late for us to miss Thirteen Niang, how can we be disrespectful to her." ”
Chen Li was also a little nervous, but more incredulous.
Thirteen Niang's status in the hearts of these servants of Yanhou Mansion is so high, and she can't even tolerate her being wronged, could it be that Daddy heard it back from Prime Minister Xie, Yanhou now values Thirteen Niang very much?
However, Thirteen Niang is not to Shen Sanlang...... Never forget?
"Which eye did you see that I was disrespectful to her?"
Where did Chen Xinyou suffer such humiliation, and blew up on the spot, "That's how I treat her in the Chen family on weekdays!" Thirteen Niang, you are married to Yanhou, and you can't forget the Chen family's kindness to you......"
Before the words fell, the man in front of her suddenly raised his eyes, and the killing intent that surged in an instant made her whole body stiffen, and the rest of the words were frozen in her throat, and she could no longer speak.
Chen Haoan also secretly shuddered, hurriedly covered Chen Xinyou's mouth, and said with a forced smile: "Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding......
"If you misunderstand, you don't have the mood to identify it."
Ling Fang's voice was cold, and he made a gesture of respect, "If a few people are still unwilling to leave, I don't mind sending someone to send a few out in person." ”
Listening to this tone, if he sent someone to send them, it would not be as simple as sending them!
Several members of the Chen family were frightened, and even Chen Xinyou realized that the situation was not good, and he didn't dare to break free when Chen Haoan covered his mouth.
Chen Li hesitated for a moment and looked at Chen Ge, "Thirteen Niang ......"
"Let's listen to Steward Ling and leave first."
Chen Ge smiled faintly, his smile was not gentle and soft, but the words he said were extremely cold and cruel, "Yanhou is the actual ruler of Jizhou, if I were you, I would never be stupid enough to choose to spill in Yanhou's Mansion." ”
