Chen Yanzhi called the subordinates who went to the Xu family to give gifts to inquire carefully, and learned that those words were confessed by the Xu family's housewife, and the expression on her face did not change much. I don't know how to lift it, or Xu Junze.

Although he knew that the Chen family would be unhappy when he heard what he said, Lin Shuran did not regret it, the Chen family has a prime minister, and their Xu family still has a general.

Seeing that it was not two days before the twenty-sixth day of the first month of Concubine Su's birthday, there was only news in the palace that the concubine was seriously ill, but it did not say that the birthday would not be held.

Early in the morning, someone came to tell me that Lei Yan, the son of the Lei family, had come to visit. It wasn't until he saw Lei Yan in the front hall that Lin Shuran learned that he had come to Xu Mingchen to hang out.

"Mrs. Xu, don't worry, I'll take Ming Chen to Keju Garden to play, and I will never run around!" Lei Yan smiled and assured Lin Shuran.

He was worried that because of the incident of the last Lantern Festival, Lin Shuran would not allow Xu Mingchen to go out at will again, so he came to see Lin Shuran in person.

Soon, Xu Mingchen also came to the hall, and when he learned of Lei Yan's intention, he turned to Lin Shuran and said, "Mother, can the child go out with Brother Lei?" ”

"This is your own home, come and go freely, you can go if you want, but you must pay attention to safety when you go out, and take two more people out!" Lin Shuran will not keep restraining Xu Mingchen and them because there is danger outside, but there should still be a sense of protection.

"What are you afraid of in our Lei family's territory, Ming Chen, let's go!" Seeing that Lin Shuran agreed, Lei Yan happily picked up Xu Mingchen and walked out, there were already people waiting for them in Keju Garden.

Xu Mingchen was able to make good friends, Lin Shuran was also happy in his heart, Lei Yan didn't look like he was from the second room of the Lei family, but because of the relationship between the Zhenguo Mansion in the capital, no one dared to provoke him easily.

After lunch, Lin Shuran was playing with a few small people in the yard, when the big shopkeeper of the fireworks kitchen suddenly came in a hurry, saying that he had something important to report.

"Shopkeeper Jin, what's the matter?" Lin Shuran saw that his head was sweating, which showed that things were in a hurry.

The nurses also hurriedly took a few little young masters away, and the shopkeeper Jin couldn't take care of it, and said directly to Lin Shuran: "The owner, the eldest young master in the house has an accident outside!" ”

As soon as he heard that Xu Mingchen had an accident, Lin Shuran's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Did someone hurt him? "Isn't the Chen family still dead?

Shopkeeper Jin shook his head hurriedly, he told Lin Shuran that just now the guy from the fireworks kitchen went to deliver the cooked food to the guests, and when he passed by the Penglai Restaurant, he found that it was suddenly full of people, saying that the eldest young master of the General's Mansion had molested and bullied the little county lord of the Qing Palace, and said that many people had seen it on the spot.

"How is this possible!" Lin Shuran felt ridiculous when she heard it, not to mention that Xu Mingchen was only thirteen years old, even if she didn't get along with this child for a very long time, she knew that he was upright and kind, how could he do something to tease others.

At this moment, someone from outside came to Tongyu, saying that someone from the Qing Wangfu asked Lin Shuran to go to the Qing Wangfu immediately.

"Shopkeeper Jin, you help me go out and inquire about the ins and outs of the matter, I'll go to the Qing Palace!" Lin Shuran didn't have time to think too much, she asked Xu An to go out to find out where Lei Yan and Xu Mingchen were, and then got into the carriage and came to the Qing Palace.

When she arrived at the Qing Palace, she was directly invited into the backyard by the grandmother next to the Qing princess, and then saw the angry Qing princess in the inner hall.

"All of you stand down!" As soon as Lin Shuran arrived, Princess Qing waved everyone out, and no one was allowed to come in and disturb, and then she turned to Lin Shuran and asked, "Mrs. Xu, do you know why I invited you over?" ”

Facing Princess Qing's questioning, Lin Shuran did not pretend not to understand, but said truthfully: "I heard a little rumor on the way here just now, I guess there was some misunderstanding!" ”

"Misunderstanding? Hum! Princess Qing's face was even more ugly, and she directly picked up the cup and threw it on the ground, "The good son raised by your Xu family, if he doesn't learn well at a young age, he even dares to bully the county lord, what a big boldness!" ”

Lin Shuran raised her eyes and looked at the princess, she was wearing a splendid dress and the bearing of a royal daughter-in-law, but the complexion between her eyebrows and eyes was not very good, and she was a little out of breath even when she said the last two sentences angrily, and her eye sockets were deep and haggard, perhaps because she rubbed too much fat powder to cover up her sickness, and her face became paler.

"The princess is not angry, anger hurts the liver, thinking hurts the spleen, let's talk about something slowly, you are in such a hurry to invite me over, presumably not only to blame my Xu family, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly!" Lin Shuran was not in a hurry or flustered, as soon as something happened, Princess Qing was in a hurry to invite her over, which in itself was a little strange and weird.

Princess Qing was stunned, she rarely went out because she was unwell before, but she had seen Lin Shuran a few times three or four years ago, but at that time she was young and pure, not the same as the woman in front of her who was always calm and confident, and now Lin Shuran is like Concubine Yun in the palace.

Princess Qing slowly sat down on the chair again, her momentum suddenly dissipated most of it, now there are not many credible people around her, if even her youngest daughter is going to be calculated, even if she gambles, she can't let those people succeed.

"Everyone says that Mrs. Lin has raised two good daughters, who are affectionate and righteous, gentle and kind, and they all say that you married into the Xu family and treated those stepsons very well, whether it is true or not, today my youngest daughter Xiqing's reputation has been ruined-" Speaking of this, Princess Qing's eyes burst out with hatred, and then she looked at Lin Shuran with sharp eyes, "Whether it is calculated by others or by mistake, your Xu family must recognize Xiqing, the daughter-in-law." ”

"Princess, the matter has not been clarified, maybe this is a misunderstanding at all, should we find out the truth first?" Lin Shuran heard that there were words in Princess Qing's words, especially the sentence "being calculated", it seems that today's things are really not simple.

"What? Isn't the county lord of my Qing Palace's worthy of your Xu family's stepson?! Princess Qing suddenly became emotional and angry, and then coughed a few times, she quickly took out a handkerchief to cover her lips, Lin Shuran also stood up and approached worriedly, and found that there were blood stains on the handkerchief.

"Princess, let me show you first!" Lin Shuran wanted to step forward to check her pulse, but was stopped by Princess Qing.

"I'm fine!" Princess Qing took a deep breath, wiped the corners of her mouth, and stood up strongly, she didn't allow herself to fall like this, but looked at Lin Shuran again and asked, "Do you agree with this marriage?" ”
