"Xiao Chen, don't you think you've crossed the line!" Xu Junze waved his hand to the family to retreat, and he approached Xiao Chen with steady and powerful steps, like an offended lion warning those who tried to encroach on his territory.

Xiao Chen looked a little decadent, perhaps because he realized once again that Lin Shuran had now become someone else's wife, and he seemed to be deprived of even the right to care.

"She was injured because of the investigation of the case by my criminal department, and I have been friends with her for many years, so it is reasonable for me to come and see her, it is not too much, General Xu!" Xiao Chen endured the steps of moving forward, it was he who was impulsive, as soon as he heard that she was injured, he was in chaos, and at this time, he had quickly calmed down and reasoned down in the face of Xu Junze.

"Lord Xiao should know the rules, this is the Xu family, you are a foreign man, let's go to the front hall, my wife is fine, just fell asleep, don't disturb her!" Xu Junze got up and walked forward, he didn't look at Xiao Chen again, and Xiao Chen glanced at the back house of the Xu family from a distance, and had to turn around and follow behind Xu Junze, the corners of his mouth were full of bitterness.

When he arrived in the front hall, Xiao Chen seemed to look at Xu Junze with a little resentment and said: "The saint has always praised General Xu's martial arts and leading soldiers like a god, but he doesn't want to hurt people in front of you, I heard that your stepsons are each protected by secret guards, but there is no one around your wife, I have a female secret guard under me, I can give it to your wife, and I have the right to make amends this time!" ”

Xu Junze is the person most valued by the emperor, and there are countless assassination dangers he has encountered from the past to the present, Xiao Chen can't understand why Lin Youxing wants to marry the pampered and simple Lin Shuran to such a dangerous man.

"Don't you think this is very out of place!" Xu Junze has always been a man, no matter whether there is a relationship between him and Lin Shuran, now she is his wife, Xiao Chen made no secret of his concern for his wife, this behavior made him very uncomfortable, "I don't care what the relationship between you and my wife was before, now it is best to keep a distance between you, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to my wife because of your excessive concern, as for how to protect her, this is my Xu family's family matter, and it is not your turn to be an outsider to interfere." ”

Xu Junze's words were not polite, Xiao Chen tightened the corners of his lips and was powerless to refute, and finally was silent for a moment, turned around and left the General's Mansion, he still had to go back and interrogate the thief leader.

As soon as they heard the news of Lin Shuran's injury, Lin Youxing, the Wen family, and Lin Chengyu and his wife rushed to the General's Mansion, and they were relieved when they learned that Lin Shuran only suffered a little skin injury.

The Wen family and the Ming family woke up with Lin Shuran, the mother and daughter and sister-in-law said something before leaving, and the queen mother, the emperor and Concubine Yun in the palace heard the news of Lin Shuran's injury, and they also sent all kinds of expensive supplements.

"Mama, don't you think it's strange? Chunxi said, "The news of my injury is known all over the city, why haven't I heard that anyone else has come to visit?" Lin Shuran asked purely out of curiosity, after all, she is also the wife of the general, the daughter of Taifu, it stands to reason that when she is injured, those officials who are friendly with the Xu family or want to befriend Xu Junze will try their best to come to the door? She was ready to be "disturbed", but there were obviously no outsiders in the house.

Mama Zhang stood aside awkwardly, her young lady had been raised in the boudoir, and she had lived an almost isolated life in the Grange for more than three years, so she naturally didn't know much about what happened in the capital.

"Miss, although my uncle is now the emperor's most relied on courtier, his popularity in the court is not very good!" Mama Zhang knew that there were some things that should be explained to Lin Shuran, "The old slave also heard from others, saying that it was the general who offended the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all over the years, and said that once, an official took advantage of the festival to give gifts to the house, and the general had an upright temperament, drove the person out, and wrote an excerpt to the emperor to order the person who gave the gift to be severely punished, and finally caused the person who gave the gift to lose his official position, and the whole family was driven out of the capital. Since then, no one dares to enter the door of the Xu family easily. ”

Is Xu Junze so straight? Being a high-ranking and favored by the emperor, and having a bad relationship with his colleagues, this doesn't sound like a good thing, in case one day he loses his king's heart and is calculated, this end is not optimistic.

Lin Shuran really wants to live a dull and leisurely life, but she also knows very well that a person's identity, status, environment, and the situation they encounter will affect her decision.

Now she and Xu Junze are grasshoppers tied to a rope, not only her, but even the Lin family is in the same boat as him, if Xu Junze becomes the target of everyone's attacks, then his stepsons and the Lin family don't want to completely leave it alone.

Xu Junze wants to live the Xu family in a lonely straight line, which in Lin Shuran's view, is simply a suicidal survival mode, and it is also very dangerous.

Not to mention anything else, if you have a good deal with these wealthy nobles and civil and military officials in the capital, it will be easy for these children in your own family to find a daughter-in-law in the future, otherwise I am afraid that no one will be willing to marry their daughter into the Xu family, just like everyone is unwilling to marry their daughter to Xu Junze now.

As soon as he remembered that his thirteen sons would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law at that time, Lin Shuran's sense of distress rose rapidly, thinking that he would have to build a good relationship with others in case of future needs.

"Mama, if anyone invites me to a banquet in the future, don't refuse first, let me see it first." Lin Shuran wasn't tired of socializing with these ancient ladies and ladies before, she was just afraid that she would be found out that she was not the real Lin Shuran, but she had done a good job of Lin Shuran in the past three years, and some of her behavior and language were "abnormal", and others only thought that she was caused by Gu Jingcheng's death and excessive sadness.

"The old slave understands!" Mama Zhang knows that since Lin Shuran married into the Xu family, some mansions will be in the way, and symbolically send an invitation to Lin Shuran, but Lin Shuran went to the grange before and turned it down, only Princess Qingyang's invitation couldn't be pushed off so she went to the plum banquet.

After a few days, as the New Year approached, all parts of the capital gradually became lively, and various banquets followed. At this time in previous years, the General's Mansion would also receive a lot of invitations, but the people who posted knew that Xu Junze would not go, and Xu Junze didn't bother to attend any banquets at all.

"Madam, this is a post from the Zhenguo Mansion, on the seventh day of the lunar month, the Zhenguo Mansion is going to hold an annual Keju party, and you are invited to go with a few sons!" Early in the morning, Mama Zhang took a gilded invitation from the housekeeper Xu An and gave it to Lin Shuran.
