"You have married so many aunts one after another, and in the end, when you are old, you are lonely and miserable, and you can't even keep a person who knows cold and hot as a companion. These daughters don't have a good home, and they resent that you don't belong to your home and are not close to you. ”

Chang Lingxi's words pierced Chang Lehou's heart like a needle, and he became more and more silent.

The Lian family is jealous and can't tolerate the people around him, and now only the fifth aunt in the entire Hou Mansion is close to him. If she has any more strengths and weaknesses, she will really be alone.

When I think about it deeply, I feel miserable.

Chang Lingxi saw that Chang Lehou was full of sadness, so he changed the topic: "Dad, Lian's she is now injured and paralyzed, and she is not good at walking, and the burden of the Hou Mansion will fall on your own shoulders in the future, and you have to take charge of things." ”

Chang Lehou shook his head: "Your mother has always taken care of these things, where can anyone else do without her?" When she recovers from her injuries, she still has to be in charge. ”

Ling Xi sighed helplessly: "Dad, what are you saying about your daughter?" In total, there is just a little sesame mung bean big thing, when the queen mother was in the Hou Mansion, she was still at ease, could it be that you can't be the master yourself? ”

Chang Lehou said with a sad face: "Outside the male protagonist, inside the female protagonist, not to mention the things in the shop?" Over the years, your mother has taken care of everything, and she has taken it all on, how can your father understand this? ”

"Won't it be difficult to learn? Besides, when my mother was alive, didn't you make the decision on everything outside the house? There are naturally stewards in the shop, as long as you are of the same heart and worry about the labor, you are just nodding your head as before. ”

Chang Lehou hesitated slightly: "It's all trivial things inside and out, and I'm going to be anxious." ”

"Dad, there are so many shops under the name of the queen's mother, isn't it the same as being a shopkeeper? And every day is making money. You don't have to do it yourself, as long as you use the right people, dare to use people, and still be leisurely.

Now the store is full of Lian's people, she is mean and unpopular, why don't you take the opportunity to quickly promote your own people? Could it be that you want to be eaten to death by Lian's for the rest of your life? Don't think about yourself, don't pity the fifth aunt, you also have to think about Ling Rui. A lesson from the past, let Lian continue like this, maybe one day he will harm this child again. ”

Mentioning Chang Lingrui, Chang Lehou was a little moved, but couldn't help but hesitate: "Your mother is reluctant to let go......"

"Can she still eat you? Can she do it again? It's a big deal to cry and cry, and to bluff to die or live. You just put your mind down and ignore it, can she really seek death and life? For the sake of Ling Rui and Ling Yan's children, she was also reluctant. ”

Chang Lingxi almost had almost no patience, reluctantly pressed his heart, broke the truth, crumpled it, and told Chang Lehou little by little, full of hatred that iron could not become steel.

Chang Lehou hesitated and said: "What you said is indeed reasonable, it seems that my father should be tougher." ”

"That's right! Dad, as long as you can afford the Hou Mansion's home, then, can't the Lian family just listen to you obediently? It may be awkward for two days at first, but when she sees that you have run the business of the Hou Mansion in an orderly manner, she is convinced, and she will definitely change her attitude towards you. ”

Chang Lehou seemed to have finally made up his mind, and nodded categorically: "I didn't expect that my father had lived most of his life, but it was better for you to see things more clearly." ”

Ling Xi breathed a sigh of relief, pretended to think for a moment, and frowned: "As for the trivial matters in the palace, Ling Yan has the will of the Empress Dowager, maybe he will be summoned into the palace one day, and he can't count on it at all."

Ling Rui is still studying, not to mention that the housekeeper's affairs are all done by women, he is a boy who should be ambitious in all directions, and he should not be stumped by these trivial things.

My father is also lacking in skills, but he is indeed embarrassed. If this is the case, for the time being, let Ling Luo help you take care of it, and there are five aunts who can help, and after all the business matters are straightened out, you will look at the decision. ”

"What's the difference between handing it over to Ling Luo and handing it over to the fifth aunt? How could your mother agree? ”

"You don't care if she says yes or not!" Chang Lingxi's voice couldn't help but rise: "Whoever you hand over this Hou Mansion to, the Lian family will not agree." Since you want to be in charge, simply come to a thorough and hand it over to someone who has the same heart as you. Only by handing it over to Ling Luo can she protect the fifth aunt from continuing to survive in the Hou Mansion. ”

Chang Lehou hesitated and was silent for a long time.

Han Yuchu said on the side: "My father-in-law's mind and son-in-law understand that protecting his wife and children is a man's unshirkable responsibility. Family and everything is prosperous, as the head of the family, there are naturally many concerns, if the father-in-law has any difficulties in business, even if he speaks, the son-in-law will spare no effort. And the matter of the house, what Ling Xi said is not unreasonable, you might as well give it a try. ”

Chang Lingxi's bitter preaching was not as effective as Han Yuchu's words. Chang Lehou recalled that he had been suppressed by the Lian family for many years, and he had been in the bag for half his life, and his woman could not be saved, and he had no face in front of his son-in-law, and suddenly woke up.

"What you said is that a father should indeed be the home of the Hou Mansion, and it is his duty to do so."

Ling Xi and Han Yuchu smiled heartily, and told Chang Lehou a few words during the banquet before returning home.

On the carriage, Han Yuchu couldn't help but joke with Chang Lingxi: "I didn't expect my wife to be a female middle school Zhuge and handle the mess of the Hou Mansion in an orderly manner in just a few words." ”

Chang Lingxi is newly married, and it is difficult to hide her shame in front of her husband: "Do you think it is right or wrong for me to persuade my father like this today?" ”

Han Yuchu smiled, as if he was strategizing: "It's naturally wonderful." His father-in-law, under the residual authority of the Lian family, must not be able to take over the chores of the Hou Mansion neatly, and it is inevitable that he will still be influenced by the Lian family. It's different to Chang Lingluo, she joined forces with the fifth aunt, and she had the order of the Hou Ye, and she was in charge of the Hou Mansion, and finally raised her eyebrows, and she must have hollowed out her mind to control the Lian family.

And once the Hou Ye really grasps the economic power of the Hou Mansion outside, he will be used to it and have the confidence, and after returning to the Hou Mansion, he will be able to gradually get rid of the Lian family. In order to consolidate her position in the Hou Mansion, the fifth aunt had to try her best to curry favor with the Hou Mansion, so that the Hou Mansion would really be dominated by her father-in-law. ”

Ling Xi smiled, his eyes were shining, as bright as a star, and Han Yuchu's eyes were full of admiration: "Xianggong is the smartest person in the world, you are right." ”

"However, these days in the Hou Mansion, I am afraid that chickens and dogs will jump, and I will not be able to live in peace, and Chang Lingyan is not a simple person who can swallow his anger."

"I will persuade my father not to stay in the Hou Mansion under the pretext of taking care of business for the time being. They can toss as much as they want, and they will always gradually divide the winner and loser. ”

Han Yuchu rubbed Chang Lingxi's hair affectionately: "Yesterday, Chang Lingluo secretly came to the mansion to look for you, just begging you to intercede in front of the Hou Ye and save her aunt, right?" ”

Ling Xi nodded, and did not hide it: "The concubine made a deal with her behind her back. ”

Han Yuchu was a little surprised: "What deal?" I didn't hear you mention it. ”

"I will help her seize power and keep her and her fifth aunt's status in the Hou Mansion, she is responsible for dealing with Chang Lingyan and completely suppressing the arrogance of the Lian family."

Han Yuchu seemed to know everything about the Chang family, and when he heard Ling Xi's words, he was not surprised: "You have a bad relationship with Chang Lingyan, but because of the incident of the Shangyuan Festival in the first place?" ”

Ling Xi smiled bitterly, and told Han Yuchu about some of the key points in the past, including the marriage where Lian calculated himself, and Yuehua's situation over the years, which helped him like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

Speaking of the bitterness, his nose was sour, and he was so aggrieved that he burst into tears: "Today's grievance really made my husband smile, and I was indeed a little gloating when I saw Lian's end up like this, so my words were sharp and mean." ”

Han Yuchu only listened quietly, and felt pity for Ling Xi unconsciously: "Chang Lingyan is so ruthless, on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, you tried your best to save her, but you were abandoned by her. You are so kind, no wonder the queen has always been at ease with you, and when she saw me for the first time that day, she immediately had the idea of giving me a marriage. ”

Ling Xi blushed: "Although the queen mother is younger than me, she is as close to me as the eldest sister, and she was my only support in the Hou Mansion at the beginning. Even if she left the Hou Mansion, she still remembered me in her heart, if it weren't for her marriage, my father was weak, and my stepmother was vicious, I didn't know how to get out in my life.

Ling Xi was lucky to meet the queen mother, when she gave you and me a marriage, I was still reluctant, and I didn't know that the son who saved me on the Shangyuan Festival turned out to be the current champion. ”

The voice became lower and lower, and he hooked his head to his chest before he said such a shameful sentence, and his whole face was already like a burning fire.

At the beginning, she fell in love with Han Yuchu, a hero who saved the beauty, and was lonely and sad for a long time because of the marriage. It's just Yuehua's kindness, he is already a high climber, how can he not know what is good or bad?

What's more, if Lian was not afraid of telling the truth, he hated to send her to the flower child on the street, and all his hopes for the future were just a pipe dream. She is old and her thinking is much more mature, so she reluctantly made a choice against her heart in the palace.

It wasn't until the night of the cave room that he lifted the scarf on his head and saw Han Yuchu's true face of Lushan, that Ling Xi knew that the champion of Yuehua's marriage was the life-saving hero he had been thinking about for a long time.

Han Yuchu chuckled in a low voice, quite useful, and had pity and love for Ling Xi: "Your husband and I are also blessed by misfortune, and it is enough to have such a wonderful cause from the queen." It's just that the husband is curious, according to your temperament, such a soft and cloud-like temperament, why did you aggressively preach your father-in-law today? ”

Ling Xi tilted his head to look at Han Yuchu, his eyes full of joy: "I know, my husband is afraid that he is saying, how can I be such a stupid person today, how can I be so shrewd today, right?" ”

Han Yuchu smiled: "Who said that my wife is stupid, you are just too kind." ”

Ling Xi glanced at him shyly, and the red glow on his face flew wildly: "Let's tell the truth." Today's words were taught to me by the queen mother. ”

"Huh?"

"The day before yesterday, we entered the palace to thank us, and the queen left me to say two words, which was to mention this matter, and secretly taught me to teach my father to take the opportunity to seize the power of the Hou Mansion. At first, I didn't understand why she would hand over the steward of the Hou Mansion to Ling Luo, after all, Ling Luo was a sycophant and a dog, and he often struggled with me and his mother. As soon as you analyze it, I know that only when Chang Lingluo and the fifth aunt join forces can they balance Chang Lingyan. ”

Han Yuchu pondered for a moment, and then smiled brightly: "It turns out that it is still the queen's chess half a move." ”

"Why?"

"If the fifth aunt wants to control the Hou Mansion single-handedly, Chang Lingyan is the biggest obstacle, she must be deliberately trying to send Chang Lingyan away. What's the best thing to do? ”

Chang Lingxi said without thinking: "Naturally, it is to marry, isn't this how the Lian family sent Yuehua in the first place." ”

Han Yuchu nodded: "Chang Lingyan has always been ambitious and wants to enter the palace to accompany him. If she can marry Chang Lingyan to others, won't it completely break her mind? It's just a pity that there is no one available in the Hou Mansion now, and the fifth aunt may not be the opponent of the Lian family and Chang Lingyan. ”

Chang Lingxi was stunned for a while: "There are so many doorways." ”

Han Yu saw that she was ignorant, and sighed pityingly: "It's also thanks to the fact that it wasn't you who entered the palace in the first place, otherwise you should also know how difficult it is for this queen to do, right?" ”
