In the next few days, the atmosphere in the capital was inexplicably tense, and since he knew that someone was going to hurt Xu Mingchen, Lin Shuran ordered that the children of the Xu family were not allowed to leave the house at will.

If it was before, Xu Minghao would definitely not have ordered any orders, the folding fan that Mr. Storyteller promised him was forced to be interrupted because of the unexpected event on the day of the Lantern Festival, he had to go out and ask for the folding fan back, in case Mr. Storyteller ran away!

But now he was very willing to listen to Lin Shuran's words, and he didn't want to make her unhappy, so he forcibly stayed at home.

Lin Shuran didn't allow them to go out, and there was another reason, that is, Lei Yingying asked someone to send her a message, saying that Concubine Su in the palace was seriously ill, and the birthday banquet was likely to be unsuccessful, and she was afraid that the return to heaven would be in these days.

At the same time, Lin Shuran has been secretly asking people to inquire about the situation of the mastermind behind the beating on the night of the Lantern Festival in the capital mansion and the Qing prince's mansion, and soon had accurate news.

"Miss, the big shopkeeper said that the prince of Qing was very angry about the little prince being beaten, and soon found out that the main envoy was actually a young master of the Chen family in Dongling, named Chen Jishun!" Chunxi relayed the news he had just gotten from the shopkeeper of the fireworks chef to Lin Shuran.

Dongling Chen family? Lin Shuran had heard of it before, in addition to the royal family in the Jin Dynasty, there were four powerful and influential scholar families, namely the Dongling Chen family, the Xishu Liu family, the Beichuan Lin family and the Nanjiang Ma family.

Her father Lin Youxing was born in the Beichuan Lin family, and Chen Yanzhi, the prime minister of the dynasty, was from the Dongling Chen family.

Could it be that Xu Mingchen and the others had offended the Chen family before, so Chen Jishun would find someone to deal with him? Thinking of this, Lin Shuran called Xu Mingchen to him and asked him if he had a holiday with the people of the Chen family in Dongling before.

Xu Mingchen seemed to understand at once why Lin Shuran asked himself like this, it seemed that the person behind the scenes who wanted to hurt himself that night was really from the Chen family.

He stood silently in front of Lin Shuran, but looking at the complicated look on his face, Lin Shuran had the answer in his heart, and when she asked Xu Mingchen what specific conflicts he had with the Chen family, Xu Mingchen just shook his head without saying a word, and he didn't really want to say it.

Lin Shuran didn't embarrass Xu Mingchen, since he didn't want to say it, he must have his own secrets, and she didn't force him.

In the evening, when Xu Junze came back from outside, he saw Lin Shuran sitting in the room as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Why haven't you fallen asleep so late?" Recently, the two of them still sleep in the same bed, but the relationship between the two is obviously closer than before, and they will talk about some trivial things before going to bed.

Although most of the time it was Lin Shuran who was talking and Xu Junze was listening, there was already a tacit understanding between the two of them, and they couldn't stay in one place and not speak all the time.

"Husband, I have something I want to ask you!" During this time, Lin Shuran has already called Xu Junze "husband" less awkward, just a title, and everyone calls it that, she can be regarded as following the local customs.

Xu Junze saw Lin Shuran's formal appearance, so he walked up to her suspiciously and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Did our family have any holiday with the Dongling Chen family? Otherwise, why would the people of the Chen family want to hurt Brother Chen! Lin Shuran didn't beat around the bush, what she could let people find out, if Xu Junze had a heart, he would know earlier than her.

Sure enough, Xu Junze didn't feel strange after hearing this, he sat down next to Lin Shuran and said, "You already know!" Actually, Brother Chen, he is originally from the Chen family in Dongling! ”

"What?!" Lin Shuran looked at Xu Junze in surprise, and when he saw him nodding again, he was even more puzzled, "Since Brother Chen is a member of the Chen family in Dongling, why has he become a child of the Xu family again?" ”

After being a famous family, he changed his surname and became someone else's stepson, what did Xu Mingchen go through, and how could he become like this? Lin Shuran had more questions in his heart.

Xu Junze thought about Xu Mingchen's life experience, one day Lin Shuran would also know, and he learned from other people's mouths that it was better for him to tell her, he believed that Lin Shuran was sincere to Xu Mingchen's stepsons, in fact, her "mother" did better than his "father".

"Brother Chen's original name was Chen Wei, he is the grandson of the eldest family of the Chen family in Dongling, there are many in the big family, his biological father is open-minded, and he is bent on abandoning the pen from Rong to the battlefield, I met him on the battlefield, although they have not been together for a long time, but they are brothers who intersect with life and death." Speaking of the old past, sadness flashed in Xu Junze's originally calm and unwavering eyes, and at this moment he took off the mask that had been disguised for a long time, and was no longer so cold and arrogant, but revealed his true temperament.

Next, in his slow and low narration, Lin Shuran seemed to see two iron-clad men crawling out of the sea of corpses and fire, they supported each other and broke out of the layers of enemy encirclement without fear of life and death, in order to protect their families and defend the country, they parted from their relatives and finally buried their bones in their homeland.

Since Xu Mingchen's biological father died in battle, those so-called family members were still very kind to their mother and son at first, but with the passage of time and the young Xu Mingchen gradually grew up, the family disputes could no longer accommodate their orphans and widows, and finally they were driven out of the Chen family, and Xu Mingchen's biological mother also died of a serious illness in order to protect him, and finally Xu Junze found Xu Mingchen and brought him back to the capital, and gave him an identity again.

"Brother Chen and I are brothers who have passed their lives, and his son is my son, I hope you can always treat these children well!" Xu Junze is not good at verbal expression, and sometimes he knows that he may not be good at handling the relationship between people, but the people he cares about will try his best to protect it.

"I have become a husband and wife with you, your children are my children, not to mention that I love these children, maybe in the eyes of outsiders, they are naughty and difficult to discipline, but in my eyes, each of them has a shining point, and they can be successful by teaching with heart, although I am not the mother who gave birth to them, but the love for them will not be less, no matter what happens, they will have my mother to protect them in the future."

Lin Shuran didn't say these so-called "beautiful words" in front of Xu Junze, she would do what she said, and even do better than what she said.

It doesn't matter if it's the Dongling Chen family or who it is, if she wants to bully her child again, she won't sit idly by!
