"Chen Hu is the son of the eldest princess, and the emperor was extremely favored before, at that time Chen Hu did behave absurdly, and the emperor wanted to stabilize the matter, so he drove Chen Hu to Kangcheng, and now the eldest princess has been in peace for a long time, Lu Li has also returned, Chen Hu has been behaving well in Kangcheng, and the emperor has a soft heart, so he will allow him to come back."

When she spoke, Xia Wanrou herself felt ridiculous.

Chen Hu has been doing evil in Beijing for so many years, but the emperor has not severely punished him, until Chen Hu stumbled in Xiaoman, and the emperor drove him to Kangcheng in anger, but did not explain the reason.

Only this time Chen Hu came back, he would definitely not let go of Xiaoman, Xia Wanrou took this into account, so she did everything possible to prevent Xiaoman from going out.

But Xiaoman was stubborn, Xia Wanrou couldn't screw the other party, so she could only tell the truth, and she didn't know how Xiaoman would deal with it.

"No! We must not hide! ”

Xia Wanrou rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, she guessed that Xiaoman would be so impulsive, otherwise she wouldn't have kept it from her, but ......

Just thinking about it, Xiao Man said again: "Chen Hu's return to Beijing this time is allowed by the emperor, which is enough to see the emperor's preference for him, so even if we stay in the house all day and don't go out, according to Chen Hu's temperament, we will definitely come to the door on purpose." ”

"But we can't take the initiative to send them out!"

Xiao Man twisted his eyebrows, sat down to look at Xia Wanrou, and said solemnly: "We all know that the emperor is already afraid of Lu Li, if Chen Hu uses the topic to play this time and wants to use Lu Li to play, what should I do?" Sister Wanrou, we must take the initiative. ”

While Chen Hu has not yet returned, and the situation in Beijing has not yet been determined, she must prepare in advance to meet the upcoming storm.

Hope that Chen Hu will be compassionate? Or do you pin your hopes on the emperor? Instead of hoping that others can let you go, it is better to rely on yourself in everything, and maybe there will be a miracle to turn things around.

Looking at Xiao Man's serious eyes, the hesitant Xia Wanrou also began to sway, she frowned and looked at the other party, tentatively: "Really...... Can we really? ”

"Last time, I was able to successfully drive Chen Hu away by myself, this time the two of us joined forces, can't we fight him, a swinger brother who is full of flowers?" Xiaoman raised his eyebrows.

Xia Wanrou nodded hesitantly, "But, is it okay?" ”

Xiaoman confidently stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, you can!" ”

Xia Wanrou was still pregnant, so it was not suitable to overwork and worry, so after Xiaoman comforted her, she persuaded Xia Wanrou to go back, while she herself returned to the bedroom, ready to plan the next thing.

The child was held by Mama to sleep, Lu Li also went out, there were only two people in the bedroom, Pearl and Jade, Xiao Man took off all the disguises and precautions, leaned on the cushion a little casually, supported his chin with one hand, and stared at the corner of the table in a daze.

Since Chen Hu is about to come back, then he must come back to take revenge on them, Xia Wanrou is the daughter of the Xia family and Wei Xiuyuan's wife, Chen Hu will not be stunned and go directly to Xia Wanrou.

So Xiaoman can still be a little more relieved, but he ......

She didn't want to cower in the mansion, because she felt that it was meaningless, but if she was asked to take the initiative, Xiaoman really didn't know what to do.

From Bishui Village to Shangjing, she has suffered a lot of grievances during this period, her background, knowledge, and even some people sarcastically mock her as a woman who came out to do business, these Xiaoman can bear it, but Chen Hu is the only one.

If it weren't for Xiao Man's wit, there would be no hope for Shu's existence now.

But she, a woman with no background, can she really beat Chen Hu?

"Xiaoman, what are you thinking?"

A familiar voice interrupted Xiao Man's thoughts, she blinked and raised her head, looked at Lu Li who was walking towards her, and smiled subconsciously, "It's nothing, you're back." ”

Xiao Man, who was distracted, had long forgotten that in fact, Lu Li came back just now, but she was discussing with Xia Wanrou at the time, so she drove Lu Li out.

"yes, just came back from Wangshu's room." Lu Li took off his robe and put it aside, then sat down next to Xiao Man, picked up the teacup and asked casually, "What did you just say to Xia Wanrou, even I am not allowed to listen." ”

"Huh? Yes... No, nothing. Xiao Man squeezed out a very reluctant smile, and asked in a panic, "Have you been to visit Shu?" How is he now, is he still sleeping? ”

Looking at the woman's obvious behavior of changing the topic, Lu Li only stared at Xiao Man for a while, but didn't ask again, but followed the other party's words, "Wangshu slept soundly, I was still sleeping when I came back." ”

Xiao Man nodded absentmindedly and smiled, but didn't say anything.

She is very panicked now, and she always can't help but think about Chen Hu's affairs, especially when Lu Li is still on the side, Xiaoman is always afraid that she will show her stuffing, so she simply stops talking and exposes her clues.

As everyone knows, Xiao Man has something hidden in her heart, although she doesn't say it, but her face is solemn, her eyes are evasive, her hands can't stop twisting the handkerchief, the whole person looks very anxious, even if she doesn't say it, others can see that something is wrong.

Not to mention that the man sitting next to Xiao Man was Lu Li, who had been with her for so long, and he sensed that something was wrong as early as when Xiao Man bluntly changed the topic.

However, since Xiaoman didn't want to take the initiative to say it, he wouldn't ask, but not asking didn't mean that he would turn a blind eye to it.

"What? Why do you ask this? Wei Xiuyuan put down his chopsticks and looked at Lu Li with a serious face in some surprise, a little puzzled.

Lu Li didn't explain, but took the initiative to pour him wine, and said bluntly: "Just say it directly, what happened to Lu Mansion in the days when I went on the expedition, and what happened to Xiaoman?" Especially the kind that you have experienced with your wife, one by one. ”

Hearing this, Wei Xiuyuan suddenly understood something, yesterday Xia Wanrou went to Xiaoman to discuss the matter of the store, presumably she couldn't hold back for a while, and told her that Chen Hu was going back to Beijing!

Could it be that Lu Li also heard this, knew about the previous grievances between Chen Hu and Xiaoman, and wanted to avenge Xiaoman?

No wonder, Lu Li hurriedly pulled himself to this restaurant early in the morning, saying that he would tell him everything about the past half a year.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiuyuan swallowed the food in his mouth, then coughed lightly, scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and after making sure that no one was paying attention here, he pulled Lu Li closer and said in a low voice; "Did Xiaoman tell you something? Brother, tell me the truth, what are you going to do? ”

Seeing this, Lu Li looked at Wei Xiuyuan's eyes, unusually calm, "What do you say?" ”

He was confident that by just saying these three words, he could firmly trap Wei Xiuyuan into a trap.

Sure enough, Wei Xiuyuan immediately became nervous, his voice was suppressed and lowered, and finally became angry: "Lu Li, you have thought about it, that is the son of the eldest princess, you don't know that the emperor loved him so much before, although I also want to avenge Xiaoman, but we also have to consider the actual situation." If Chen Hu doesn't take the initiative to find fault, I advise you not to act rashly. ”

"Chen Hu?" Lu Li subconsciously asked a rhetorical question, but quickly calmed down and said calmly: "I didn't expect that after so many years, Chen Hu is still so stubborn. ”

Wei Xiuyuan didn't notice anything, but complained along with Lu Li's words, most of which were accusations against Chen Hu, occasionally interspersed with a few such rebellious words as the emperor's inaction.

Taking advantage of Wei Xiuyuan's complaints, Lu Li quickly combed through the existing information.

Chen Hu and Xiao Man have something to do with each other, and Xia Wanrou and Wei Xiuyuan both know about this matter, and this matter must have reached a point where it would otherwise be unbearable, otherwise Xiao Man would have told the truth a long time ago and would not hide it at all.

By the way, since he came back from the north, he has never seen Chen Hu.

"What about Chen Hu?" Lu Li interrupted Wei Xiuyuan, who was complaining, and asked in a deep voice.

Wei Xiuyuan paused for a moment, and then pouted and said: "It was said that I would arrive in Beijing in the next two days, and the emperor specially ordered me to go out to greet him, hey, it's really ......."

Then there was a whole bunch of complaints.

Chen Hu actually left Beijing? No wonder I haven't seen him for so long, but Chen Hu left Shangjing, is it related to Xiaoman?

can make Chen Hu leave Shangjing, where he has lived for many years, and separate from the eldest princess, except for the emperor, no one dares to give this order, and how Chen Hu did anything wrong before, the emperor did not punish him excessively, and what mistake did he make that would provoke the emperor to lose such a big temper?

Lu Li couldn't figure it out and wanted to continue to set Wei Xiuyuan's words, but the other party complained vigorously and didn't hear his words at all.

There was no way, Lu Li had no choice but to hold down Wei Xiuyuan's shoulder, forcibly interrupted, and said in a serious voice: "When will Chen Hu come back?" I'll pick it up with you. ”

"No... No, Lu Li, you're not mistaken, right? Wei Xiuyuan didn't react for a long time, he looked at Lu Li with his mouth wide open, surprised: "Chen Hu and Xiao Man didn't agree when the whole of Shangjing knew, and now you still want to go to the city gate to meet him?" ”

After speaking, Wei Xiuyuan's eyes widened suddenly, then he approached and lowered his voice, "You don't want to humiliate Chen Hu in front of the people, right?" Lu Li, I can tell you, even if Chen Hu had bullied Xiaoman before, but after all, he is a relative of the emperor, even if you want to do it, then you can't pick it at this time, did you hear it? ! ”

Lu Li pushed Wei Xiuyuan away, straightened his coat, and his eyes were not shocked, "I'll go and ask the emperor." ”

"No! The emperor will never agree, but will doubt your intentions! Wei Xiuyuan didn't care about who was next to him, he twisted his eyebrows and pressed Lu Li's wrist hard, "You can't go to greet Chen Hu, let alone ask the emperor." ”

Lu Li lowered his eyes, staring at Wei Xiuyuan's hand, there was no emotion in his dark eyes, until he suddenly chuckled lightly after half an hour, "I will go to the gate of this city." ”
