After hurriedly preparing for a few days, a piece of news came from the capital, which made everyone in the Zhu family stunned.

Their queen mother, Ruan Linluo, is still the queen. As soon as this decree was issued, the whole country was in an uproar, and many people even felt that it was extremely absurd.

After Li Huan ascended the throne, he cleaned up a lot of people step by step, and the recitals that demanded the execution of Empress Ruan Linluo were also one after another, but Li Huan only did not see it, and deliberately avoided talking about Ruan Linluo.

His ambiguous attitude made the ministers of the court and the central government capture the clues and began to secretly speculate on some clues.

At the beginning, Ruan Linluo was personally selected by the Empress Dowager to enter the palace, and legend has it that she was still a phoenix, and she was born to be the queen.

Xu Yes, the new emperor Li Huan also cares about such rumors, which is why he is so fascinated and so fond of her......

It is said that he fled to Yingzhou with a group of cronies, although Li Huan issued an order to demote him to a concubine, ostensibly to let him live, in fact, behind the scenes, he still had a murderous intention to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

Li Zheng is only surviving now, no matter where he flees, there are always people and horses chasing him from the imperial court behind him, and he is bound to take other people's heads before he is willing.

Ruan Linluo was imprisoned by Li Huan in Shuiyue Palace for more than ten days, no one knew how she survived, and the palace maids and eunuchs around her were all killed one by one. The whole palace was as lifeless as a cold palace, Li Huan did not leave her a single cronie, and even the prince sent someone to take it away and send it out of the palace overnight.

Li Huan only left Ruan Linluo a will and a foot of white silk.

If she insists on seeking death, then on the day of her death, the crown prince will also die here. If she doesn't want to die, she must obey the will and be re-established as queen.

Again for the after...... This sudden news did not bring the Zhu family any joy, but made everyone at a loss.

Zhu Yuanlan was even more puzzled, crying several times, and hurriedly prepared her bags and rushed back to the capital.

As soon as this incident came out, Zhu Jintang, who originally arranged for his family to travel, hesitated a little.

It stands to reason that Ruan Linluo was able to escape death, which is a great good thing. However, no matter how benevolent, tolerant and merciful the new emperor Li Huan is, he will not set up a former dynasty and a queen after him, which is completely beyond common sense, which is incomprehensible, let alone accepted.

The Zhu family went up and down, only Shen Yuechen's reaction was a little calmer. She seemed to have a hunch, but she didn't expect such a dramatic thing to happen.

Thinking about it carefully, Ruan Linluo is only 17 years old this year, and she is in the best years of her life. Moreover, with her appearance, temperament, conduct, and talent, she is not inferior in everything...... Therefore, if Li Huan is really tempted by him, it is not impossible.

The love between men and women is already mysterious...... What's more, according to Ruan Linluo's current situation, she has no choice at all.

In the face of such a strange situation, Old Man Zhu spoke out again, deliberately letting Shen Yuechen and the others leave home, temporarily slowing down, the most important thing at the moment is to send Zhu Yuanlan and Ruan Shilin back to Beijing first, and see what the attitude of the Ruan family is.

When Shen Yuechen heard this, her heart was a little relieved, if she could not leave, it would naturally be the best. She was reluctant to leave this home, and even more reluctant to leave Zhu Jintang.

The carriage and horse originally prepared for the second room of the long house just relieved Zhu Yuanlan's eagerness.

Zhu Feng personally went into battle and escorted his sister and nephew all the way back to Beijing. The Zhu family is picking up their complicated feelings little by little and trying to live as usual.

The incident happened suddenly, but it still made the Zhu family's tense atmosphere for a short time.

The Zhu family's business has not been very good, although the family is not short of money to spend, but seeing the situation getting worse, Old Man Zhu is still very unstable in his heart.

Zhu Jintang was already able to walk on the ground, although it was not appropriate to bother to work hard, but the old man still called him to the study to discuss together.

As soon as Zhu Jintang sat down, the old man took out an account book from the table and put it in front of his eyes, and said, "This is when you were not there before, Nylon made the accounts for you instead." Take a look, see how? ”

Zhu Jintang's eyebrows moved, he reached out and flipped through the account book, and looked at it carefully.

After watching it for a while, he nodded and said, "It's not bad." ”

The old man said lightly: "I also know that he is doing well, I called you here today, not to let you praise him." It's just that I want you to see how the nylon kid thinks? ”

Zhu Jintang groaned slightly, understanding what his grandfather meant.

The old man sighed and said, "Since your whereabouts are unknown, we have prepared for the worst. Nylon, this kid, is quite calm, he has been running for your business, and he has not left anything behind in business. So, I thought about it, and I still have to give him more opportunities in the future to try his skills. However, what grandpa meant by this is not that there is any pressure on you, you have worked hard for the Zhu family since you were a child, and you have paid much more than nylon. After saying that, he took out a pair of cards and keys from his bosom, put them on the table, and said, "This is the key to the treasury of the account and the pair of cards for receiving the silver, and from now on you will keep it." ”

Zhu Jintang was slightly stunned, hurriedly stood up, and said, "Grandpa, how are you?" ”

The key and pair of cards in the treasury represent the symbol of the head of the family. It stands to reason that this thing should be passed on to his father by the old man, and then passed on to him by his father.

The old man glanced at him, waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down and speak, and then said, "This is what your father gave me before he left." I thought about it, but I decided to take it to you and let you be the master. ”

"You suffered so many sins before, if you don't say it, grandpa knows it. For the sake of this family, you have suffered and tired, and you have almost taken your life, which really makes those of us who are elders feel sad and regretful. Jintang, if you come back alive, it is the best gift for our family. Grandpa has always thought that he is a person who does not accept old age, but after so many things, grandpa really began to serve old age. Therefore, sooner or later, this home will be handed over to you young people. ”

Zhu Jintang's heart couldn't help but feel warm and sour.

In his opinion, Grandpa has always been an old naughty boy. At this time, when I heard him say that he was old, I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

The old man took a sip of tea and said, "Speaking of which, your father's age is not young, and his body is not as strong as before." In the future, you can be a good family and don't worry about anything else, you deserve it. ”

Zhu Jintang held the key and the pair of cards in his hand, and his heart felt a heavy feeling.

At the same time, in the main room of Xiyuan, Li Shi was also talking with Shen Yuechen in one place.

Li Shi hugged Brother Xuan in his arms, but his eyes were on Brother Ming's body from time to time, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he smiled.

She hadn't been in the mood to laugh like this in days.

Shen Yuechen personally gave her honey chrysanthemum tea, and Li Shi was reluctant to let go of Brother Xuan'er, so he only nodded: "Let's put it first, I'll drink it later." ”

Shen Yuechen put down the tea bowl when she heard this, and waited quietly with her.

Li Shi looked down at Brother Xuan'er's red little face and said softly: "This child has grown up so fast, it has only been a few days, and it has sunk a lot when he is hugged." ”

Shen Yuechen replied with a smile: "This kid has a good appetite. ”

Li Shi nodded, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "When Brother Ming was as old as him, he was not as easy to support as him. ”

Brother Ming was concentrating on playing with the spinning top on the ground, so naturally he didn't notice that Li Shi mentioned him.

Li Shi hugged Brother Xuan for a while before he was willing to hand her over to Wu's mother.

She picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of the warm tea, and then said, "I called you here today to discuss something with you." ”

Shen Yuechen straightened her back and said, "If you have anything, just command." ”

Li Shi said with a smile: "After the master went to the capital, I have not been steady. So, I wanted to go with him, and even if I couldn't help him, I could take care of him myself. ”

Shen Yuechen nodded slightly when he heard this.

Li continued: "When I leave like this, I can't take care of my family affairs. I've seen you take care of the west yard pretty well, and it's time to learn to take care of the whole house. ”

Shen Yuechen was a little flattered. After she entered the door, Li Shi spoke for the first time in person and asked her to manage the family affairs.

Li Shi said lightly: "I know, you are a child with ideas, and because you used to have many scruples in your heart, you couldn't let go of many things. So, it's not good to make decisions on your own, and now, we've been through so many things together, and I've seen a lot of your strengths. That's why I'm relieved to let you take over. The old lady also said, let me give you a chance to give it a try. ”

Shen Yuechen lowered her eyes slightly, although she was happy in her heart, she still had a lot of worries.

Li Shi was slightly aware of her thoughts, and continued: "The old lady and I both have confidence in you, so don't shirk it. Most of the rules at home are set by the old lady, you just have to follow it, if there is anything that needs to be changed, let me know in advance, please instruct, as long as the change is reasonable, the old lady will definitely nod and agree. ”

Shen Yuechen pondered for a moment before nodding and responding: "It's rare that the old lady and the lady value Yuechen so much, and Yuechen will do her best not to disappoint you." ”

Li Shi smiled when he heard this, patted her hand, and said, "Do your best in everything." We have few families, there are not many things, and the time you have been married for a long time is not short, and you know everything you should know. ”

Shen Yuechen said modestly: "In the future, if you don't understand something, you will inevitably have to bother the elders to mention more." ”

Li Shi nodded, smiling gently.

In the evening, Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen returned to the room one after the other, and both of them invariably brought back an account book.

Seeing this, Zhu Jintang's eyebrows moved slightly: "What? Did the elders send you an errand? ”

Shen Yuechen smiled, nodded and said, "Well, I said that I was going to be a housekeeper." ”
