Su Nianyun watched the play from the street and it was already dark when he returned to Chen's mansion.

Because of the mourning period, Fuchu is quieter than usual.

Not long after the front foot returned to the Wind Courtyard, Su Ming asked Su Da to bring a letter into the house.

Then Chunhua lit the candle and saw that it was a handwritten letter from Chen Shaoan.

This letter was written by him to the old lady.

was taken back to the broken hospital, and the sober Chen Shaoan was completely desperate for Zhou Yao.

But this is not the time for him to be sad, and the three kidnappers have been looking at him fiercely, as if they are about to break his neck in the next moment.

Chen Shaoan, who was extremely scared, finally decided to confess everything to his mother and begged his mother to redeem him.

Naturally, knowing his true identity, the kidnappers were very happy, and the ransom rose from 30,000 taels to 300,000 taels at once.

As soon as he heard this number, Chen Shaoan was immediately frightened.

What the Chen family is like, he knows best, how can his mother come up with so much money.

"Are you lying, the Chen family is one of the eight great families in Beijing, and you tell me that there is no money? Who believes? ”

Su Ming slammed the dagger on his waist into the table.

That force directly caused all the daggers to sink into the table, leaving only the handle outside.

Seeing the other party's hand, Chen Shaoan was so frightened that he was about to pee, so he naturally didn't dare to bargain anymore, so he could only write 300,000 taels head-on.

He can only rely on his mother, who is very capable and will definitely raise 300,000 taels.

In fact, what he didn't know was that the old lady could still come up with a third of the money, but in order to hold a beautiful funeral for him, the family was completely exhausted this time.

If the old lady is determined to save him, I am afraid that she will have to sell the ancestral property of the Chen family.

Of course, he always had only himself in his heart, and even if he knew that the old lady had these difficulties, he felt that he had done what his mother asked him to do.

He has come to this point, but it is caused by his mother's failure to fulfill her promise.

If after he married the princess, his mother was willing to let him take Zhou Yao into the mansion, none of this would happen.

After reading Chen Shao'an's tearful distress letter, Su Nianyun sneered again and again.

"It's really like Chen Shaoan's style, all the fault is on Zhou Yao."

She resealed the letter and handed it to Su Da again, "Find a time when no one is around, just throw the letter into the old lady's room." ”

Su Da nodded, took the letter and flipped into the old lady's courtyard.

However, instead of throwing the letter into the old lady's room, as the princess had said, he took out a dagger from his waist and stuck it directly into the pillar of the doorway.

"Ahh

Bai He took the old lady's medicine to the door, and when he saw the letter on the pillar and the dagger shining with cold light, he screamed in fright.

"What are you shouting in the middle of the night?" Mother Zhao opened the door.

"Zhao, Zhao's mother, look at ......" Bai He pointed to the direction of Zhao's mother's head.

Mother Zhao hurriedly turned around, and she also lost her voice, "What is this?" ”

At this time, many subordinates also gathered around, and the gossip began.

"What's going on out there?" Hearing the noise outside, the old lady had a headache.

At this time, she was talking to Chen Shaokang.

The eldest son is gone, and originally, according to the funeral customs, the marriage of the second son should be postponed.

However, many recent changes in the house have been superimposed, and the old lady is afraid of long nights and dreams, so she is more persistent in the marriage of Count Guangyu's family.

So she asked her son to stabilize the relationship with Ding Minru as soon as possible.

Facing his mother's urging, Chen Shaokang also had a headache, he didn't know anything about that Ding Minru, and he didn't know where to start.

However, in the face of his mother who was sick in bed, he couldn't bear to make his mother sicker and sicker, so he had to nod.

"Mother, my son knows, don't worry, my son will do what you want."

"Kang'er, at this point, you are better than your eldest brother, you are always willing to listen to your mother in everything and think about your mother."

"Your eldest brother is just too tough, whose fault do you say it is to get to this point......"

As she spoke, the old lady couldn't hold back her tears.

"Mother, don't think about it, this is also the life of the eldest brother, that's it...... "It's over!"

"Old lady, old lady!" Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Zhao's mother, who walked in with a dagger and a letter.

"Mother Zhao, what made you start yelling as a steward?"

"Old lady, no, someone inserted a letter on the pillar outside your door!" It was the first time that Zhao's mother had encountered such a situation.

"Letter, what letter, show me?" Chen Shaokang snatched the letter from Zhao's mother's hand.

When he saw the handwriting on it, he was first surprised, "Mother, this seems to be the handwriting of the eldest brother." ”

"Your big brother?" The old lady was stunned, "Who is playing a prank?" Hurry up and read what is written on it? ”

Chen Shaokang had already glanced at the letter, and his face was no longer known how to describe it, and he began to read it after listening to his mother's repeated urgings.

"Mother is well, An'er worships. Confused, I listened to Zhou Yao's instigation, and faked my death on the battlefield to live with her, and I didn't want to have an accident just after returning to Beijing......"

“…… When the son did such a foolish thing, he shouldn't have bothered his mother anymore, but he wrote a few letters before and after, but Zhou Yao turned a deaf ear and refused to pay the ransom, and when the son was desperate, he cried tears and asked his mother for help......"

After hearing the contents of the letter, the old lady's eyes widened, and then her eyes went dark.

"Mother!" Chen Shaokang exclaimed.

"Old lady!"

Mother Zhao and Bai He also rushed over, and they were in the middle of the person, and they were caressing their chests, and the old lady finally came over with this breath.

However, when she woke up, she howled again.

"Ah, An'er, my mother told you a long time ago, that kind of woman is full of calculations......"

Thinking that she came to ask for help with her son, she was stunned not to mention that Shao An was still alive, this woman was so scheming.

"Mother, don't cry ...... yet"

Chen Shaokang calmed down at this time, he looked at the other two people in the room, "Mother Zhao, Bai He, what was said in the letter, you have to keep it a secret when you go out of this door, do you know?" ”

"It's a good thing that An'er is still alive, why don't you let them say it?" After the old lady was sick, her brain was not as good as before.

In addition, she has always been in front of her handy mother, and she can't understand her second son's intentions at this time.

"Mother, the fact that the eldest brother died on the battlefield is known all over the city, and the court has also commended it, if we suddenly say that the eldest brother is not dead, how can we explain it to the court?"

"If the court knows that the eldest brother died by fraud, not in battle at all, then we are deceiving the court."

"At that time, it will not be a question of whether the eldest brother is dead or alive alone, but that our whole family will die with the eldest brother!"

"So, regardless of whether the situation in this letter is true or not, whether it is true that the eldest brother wrote to us......"

Chen Shaokang looked at the old lady warningly, "This matter must not be spread out, mother, do you know?!" ”

Hearing what Chen Shaokang meant, the old lady's already unsightly face became even more ugly!
