Changsun Yun returned to the palace, it was already night, did not wake up anyone, Changsun Yun quietly returned to his house, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Changsun Zhi standing in the house.

Eldest Sun Yun was shocked, and after seeing clearly through the moonlight, he relaxed and said, "How did my father like his son's room?" ”

The eldest grandson turned around, since the marriage, he has not had the opportunity to talk to this son alone, and now this opportunity is that he knows through the emperor that his son has returned, so he came to his house and waited.

Changsun Zhi looked at Changsun Yun and said calmly: "You were sent out by the emperor to do things, why didn't you tell me?" ”

Eldest Sun Yun waved his hand, "The matter is urgent, the child was in a hurry at the time, so I didn't have time to tell you." ”

The eldest grandson sighed, seeing that his son still had a tough attitude when he spoke, there was something wrong in his heart, and said: "Yun'er, my father knows the mustard in your heart, and now that the emperor has also given marriage, my father will no longer obstruct your marriage." ”

When Changsun Yun heard this, he raised his head and looked at Changsun Zhi, but he didn't speak.

The eldest grandson sighed and said, "I am your biological father, and everything is considered for you, can I still harm you?" ”

Seeing that Changsun Yun still didn't speak, Changsun Zhi turned his head, knowing that this mustard could not be eliminated for a while, and between himself and his son, he still needed to think about it in the long run.

Changsun Yun stood aside, seeing that Changsun Zhi didn't speak, he sighed in his heart, it has been so long, and he has actually relieved a lot.

At this moment, Changsun Yun keenly caught the unusual breathing sound outside the room, and he was shocked, and hurriedly turned around and glanced at Changsun Yun.

The eldest grandson is also a smart man, and when he saw his son glaring at him, he immediately held his breath and became concentrated.

Thinking of this, Changsun Yun immediately came back to his senses and said to Changsun Yun: "Father, the child has gone to the Far South in the past few days, and the emperor asked the child to go to find out the news." ”

Changsun Zhi saw the eyes cast by Changsun Yun, and hurriedly continued: "How is the news?" ”

After a few pauses, Changsun Yun said: "The specific letter has been obtained, and it will be made public to the world in a few days." ”

After speaking, Changsun Yun only felt that the breath of the people outside was much heavier all of a sudden, and immediately turned over from the window, but the person hiding in the dark was agile, and when he saw Changsun Yun coming out of the window, his body flashed, and he escaped without a trace by taking advantage of the night.

Changsun Yun moved quickly, even Changsun Yun was stunned for a moment before hurriedly following out, and when he saw Changsun Yun standing in the courtyard, he said, "What's the matter?" ”

Changsun Yun told Changsun Yun about the matter, and after listening to it, the latter said with a solemn face: "In your opinion, this person is ......."

Eldest Sun Yun shook his head, "Although I don't know who it is, I can know that this person must be from our house, father, you have to be more careful these days." ”

Eldest Sun Zhi nodded, and said: "No matter what happens in the future, you have to tell me, if this matter is as dangerous as this, you can leave it to the dark guard to do, there is no need to do it yourself." ”

Changsun Yun knew that Changsun Zhi was caring about himself, so he just nodded at the moment, but he didn't speak.

The next day, Xia Mengning was talking to Ge Shi in Mei Fangyuan, when she saw Jiu'er come in, Xia Mengning tilted her head, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

Jiu'er stepped forward and said softly: "Miss, the whole capital knows that General Zhenguo Gong colluded with the Western Regions, was raided, and was beheaded three days later. ”

Xia Mengning's heart moved, and when she saw Ge's surprised face, she said, "That's the case, when did it happen?" ”

Jiu'er bowed her head: "In the morning, the prisoner car passed by on the street, and many people went out to see. ”

Xia Mengning stopped what she was doing, sighed and said, "It's okay, it's forgivable to do evil in heaven, the Fang clan is self-inflicted, and they can't live." ”

Ge Shi asked worriedly: "I don't know what will happen to the master, the eldest lady is still in the nunnery, the eldest lady and the eldest young master ......."

Xia Mengning whispered, "Mother, don't worry, my father has been an official for decades, and he knows how to protect himself, as for the Fang family, I'm afraid it won't end well." ”

As he spoke, he gently hooked the corners of his lips, "I have never been a broad-minded person, and I have really waited too long for this day of the Fang clan. ”

Ge Shi looked at Xia Mengning's face, paused, and said, "I'm afraid things won't be so simple......

Xia Mengning nodded, "That's natural, Xia Mengxi and Xia Zhihan are not fuel-efficient lamps, and my father will not give up his eldest son so easily, but my mother will be a good wife in this prime minister's house, and giving birth to a child with peace of mind is the most important thing, as for the rest, the daughter has her own way." ”

In the Xie Xiang Garden, Xia Mengran was sitting in front of the window practicing female red, and the girl Xiaolu was arranging the embroidery thread on the side, and after embroidering for a while, Xia Mengran raised her head and stretched out her hand to beat her neck, and said, "Xiaolu, go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of bird's nest." ”

Xiao Lu nodded, Xia Mengran took his things, and just walked to the couch and sat down, he saw Xiao Lu walking back empty-handed.

"What's the matter, didn't you go get bird's nest?"

Xiao Lu looked embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Back to Miss's words, the slave maid went to the kitchen to ask, saying that it was the end of the year recently, and everything in the house was strictly purchased, this bird's nest lady used it in the morning, and it was not there in the afternoon, and said, except for the old man and the old lady, all the rooms in the house will be like this in the future, there is only one bowl of bird's nest every day, if you want to use it more, you have to pay for your own silver." ”

Xia Mengran's face turned blue, and his hand slapped heavily on the table, "Inexplicable!" Who set the rules, is our house poor like this? ”

Xiao Lu swallowed, Xia Mengran saw it, and became more and more curious, "What, what can't you say?" ”

Xiao Lu hesitated, raised his head and looked at Xia Mengran, before he said slowly: "A few days ago, the master gave the right to be in charge of the family to the fourth aunt...... Oh, it's Mrs. Mei, it was said that Mrs. Mei was pregnant, so let the third lady help from the side. ”

When Xia Mengran heard this, a pair of eyes were almost on fire, and with a heavy wave of his hand, the tea sets on the table were swept to the ground, "When did it happen, I didn't know, my father actually let Xia Mengning be the housekeeper, why should she, is it because she was given to the prince to be the princess?" ”

Xiao Lu hurriedly knelt on the ground, Xia Mengran stood up, "This is unfair, unfair, it's my father's daughter, why should I be a concubine in obscurity, and Xia Mengning can be out of the limelight and get everything I can't get." ”

After saying the last sentence, Xia Mengran almost collapsed, leaning on the couch, and her eyes turned red.

Seeing this, Xiao Lu was about to go up and say a few words, when he heard a voice behind him, "Xiao Lu, you go down first!" ”

Xia Mengran raised her head and saw that the fifth aunt Wei was standing at the door, Xiao Lu saw Wei and gave a blessing, so she quickly packed up the pieces and walked down with her head down.

Xia Mengran glanced at Wei Shi and didn't speak, but just got up and wiped his face with his sleeve.

Wei Shi saw Xiao Lu go out, so he sat on the small couch, looked at Xia Mengran and said, "Ran'er, have you forgotten what your aunt told you?" ”

Xia Mengran shook her head, "My daughter didn't forget, my aunt told her daughter to forbear, saying that she didn't want to fight Xia Mengning, but now, my daughter forbears and tries to avoid Xia Mengning, as a result, is the result that my daughter wants to watch Xia Mengning sit on the side and sit on the status of the princess, and then take the power of the family?" ”

Wei looked at Xia Mengran's excited appearance and sighed, this daughter of his is still young, inexperienced, and does not know how to endure.

After thinking about it, Wei still spoke: "Ran'er, if you don't listen to your aunt's words and go to fight Xia Mengning, do you think you can beat her?" ”

Xia Mengran listened, and suddenly became dumbfounded, yes, if she competed with Xia Mengning head-on, she might not be able to beat her, thinking of this, Xia Mengran's heart was even more uncomfortable, and tears rolled down like beads with broken threads.

In the end, it was his own flesh and blood, Wei still couldn't bear it, leaned over and wiped Xia Mengran's tears, "Ran'er, it's not that my aunt doesn't feel sorry for you, it's just that Xia Mengning is too shrewd, if you fight hard, you will definitely suffer." ”

Xia Mengran didn't know it in her heart, just how did she admit this fact, thinking of this, Xia Mengran finally remembered the matter and asked, "Auntie, what are you doing here?" ”

Wei sighed in his heart, but his face did not change color, and said: "Today, your father came to me, saying that the prince wants to marry a young lady from our mansion and be a side concubine. ”

Xia Mengran suddenly became excited, "No, my daughter doesn't want to marry, the prince...... It's not a good person. ”

Wei came over and sat down next to Xia Mengran, touched her head and said, "Auntie doesn't know, it's just that the prince insists on doing this, I'm afraid your father can't do anything." ”

Xia Mengran's heart was gloomy, now only himself and Xia Mengning were left in the house, Xia Mengran was now like an idiot, Xia Mengning had just been assigned to marry, if the prince insisted on this, then he would have to marry.

Wei patted her hand, "It's okay, my aunt will find a way, besides, there is no eldest lady, my aunt has her own way." ”
