The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 43043 Tips

"Mother Chen, I heard that my father had some problems with his errands recently." Chu Qianchen said calmly.

Naturally, Granny Chen also knew that Mr. Hou had just been fined half a year's salary a few days ago.

Chu Qianchen paused deliberately, and then said: "Father, this mistake is not big or small. If the emperor is displeased, it will be more than a fine."

Grandma Chen moved her eyebrows thoughtfully, "What the girl means is..."

Chu Qianchen pointed out with a smile: "King Chen has just returned to Beijing, and the capital has been very lively recently. Aunt Chen, please help me intercede with my mother and let me go out for a walk."

"Mother Chen, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, she walked down the stone steps and left, followed closely by Amber.

Grandma Chen came to her senses and said hurriedly: "Go away, girl."

She frowned slightly. After what happened in the past few days, she has greatly changed her opinion of this second girl. She can be sure that the second girl did not say these things for no reason...

Go out for a walk…

Could it be that she wanted Madam to go out to avoid it?

In her thoughts, Nanny Chen walked outside the Dongci Room. Before she entered the door, she heard Chu Lingxiao's voice coming from inside: "...King Chen broke off one of the hands of Uncle Zhongyong's third son today."

Grandma Chen stopped and shook her head at the little maid who was about to open the curtain for her.

Then Shen asked in surprise: "Master Hou, what's going on?"

Nanny Chen also knew about Uncle Zhongyong’s mansion.

Uncle Zhongyong's mansion is a long-established noble house in the capital, but it has declined in recent years. Uncle Zhongyong has never been able to find a good job, and he just lives with his ancestor's title, neither up nor down.

On the contrary, he had a concubine under his knees, who was extremely outstanding and was taken under the command of King Chen. In the past few years, he had repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in the Northland. He had been promoted to the rank of captain before he was even crowned. He had a bright future.

Chu Lingxiao said in a deep voice: "Uncle Zhongyong's third legitimate son Yun Hao and his concubine Yun Zhan had a big fight in the street. Yun Hao accidentally injured Yun Zhan."

Shen asked again: "How is Yunzhan injured?"

"It's just a minor injury." Chu Lingxiao said lightly, "However, King Chen has always protected his shortcomings, and he actually forced Uncle Zhongyong to destroy Yunhao's hand for this matter."

"Uncle Zhongyong refused, so King Chen took action himself..."

Grandma Chen outside the door curtain was frightened and held her breath subconsciously.

It was quiet for a moment in Toji's room, and only a slight collision sound was heard between the tea lid and the tea cup.

After a moment, Chu Lingxiao spoke again: "In the past, King Chen was not a good-tempered person. He was always arrogant and willful. Maybe he got used to it in the past few years in the north. Now his temper has become worse. The day he returned to Beijing, he swept away The emperor's face has been ruined by Yun Hao's hand because of a trivial quarrel between the Yun brothers."

"Hey! King Chen will definitely not be content with his return to the capital this time."

"Now that he has not handed over the military talisman for a long time, His Majesty Long Yan is unhappy. In my opinion, it is better to..."

"Madam!" Grandma Chen composed herself, opened the door curtain on her own, and walked in as if nothing had happened, with a smile on her face.

She seemed a little surprised that Chu Lingxiao was here, and saluted him first, "Master Hou."

Then, she said to Mrs. Shen: "Madam, you have asked your slaves to prepare everything. You also asked someone to add a few more layers of cushions to the carriage to ensure that the Fourth Young Master will not be knocked over."

Shen: “…”

Chu Lingxiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Madam said she wanted to take the fourth young master to live in Zhuangzi for a few days." Aunt Chen said with a smile, "I just went to prepare." "Zhuangzi?" Chu Lingxiao's voice was full of displeasure, and he frowned. Frowning, "Why didn't you tell me this?"

There is a bit of questioning in this sentence.

Mrs. Shen didn't know why Nanny Chen suddenly mentioned going to Zhuangzi, but she knew that Nanny Chen wouldn't take it for granted. In addition, Chu Lingxiao just mentioned King Chen to her, a housewife, for no reason. The intention was clearly to let her mother-in-law come forward to deal with King Chen and persuade him to hand over the tiger talisman.

If King Chen is willing to bow to the emperor, then Chu Lingxiao can also take a share of the credit.

Mrs. Shen clutched the handkerchief, and her thoughts were spinning rapidly.

King Chen made great contributions to Da Qi. He had just returned to the capital, and the emperor gave him a warning. Then King Chen simply held the tiger talisman and refused to hand over. Now the situation in the court is unclear, why should the Shen family interfere at this time? If you go in with him, you may be asking for trouble by being dissatisfied with both ends.

To put it another way, if Chu Lingxiao really wanted her to go back to her parents' home to intercede, he would just say it straight away, but he also said it half-heartedly and in a roundabout way, probably because he wanted her to take the initiative.

She didn't mention it!

Shen wanted to find an excuse to escape, but now she simply followed Aunt Chen and said, "Zhuangzi is clean and suitable for Brother Mu to rest. I plan to wait for Sister Huang to come back tomorrow, and we will go to Zhuangzi to stay for a while. "

Chu Lingxiao stared at Shen closely for a while and frowned.

He couldn't figure out whether Shen was deliberately trying to prevaricate him, or whether he really happened to be going to Zhuangzi.

Chu Lingxiao glanced at the smiling Nanny Chen again, and felt relieved: It should be the latter.

Chu Lingxiao suppressed the anxiety in his heart and asked patiently: "Azhi, when will you come back?"

Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "I'll come back when Brother Mu's feet heal better."

She mumbled her words and did not give a clear reply.

Chu Lingxiao said again: "Then tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow? What will you do tomorrow, Lord Marquis? I'm afraid I won't have time tomorrow. The hot spring village is a bit far away, so I have to go out early." Mrs. Shen smiled softly, gracefully and gracefully.

Chu Lingxiao looked at her with a subtle expression.

Mrs. Shen elegantly picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

Chu Lingxiao moved his lips, but finally said nothing. He just said: "Don't stay in Zhuangzi for too long. The middle minister in the mansion cannot be left alone."

Mrs. Shen responded casually, without saying when she would return home.

Chu Lingxiao: “…”

He suddenly felt very bored, stood up suddenly, and said: "In that case, I won't delay you to clean up."

After finishing speaking, he realized that this sentence seemed a little too deliberate, so he added gently: "Azhi, rest early."

Mrs. Shen stood up and said, "Master Hou, go slowly." She had no intention of leaving anyone behind.

"..." Chu Lingxiao could only leave first.

As soon as they left, Mrs. Shen sat down directly and took a sip of tea.

It wasn't until the footsteps outside faded away that she asked Nanny Chen, "But what did Sister Chen say?"

Nanny Chen had served her for decades, and Mrs. Shen knew her quite well. For Nanny Chen to be able to find a perfect excuse for her just now, she must have had some advice from an "expert".

"Yes, madam." Nanny Chen responded calmly, and told her everything that Chu Qianchen had mentioned to her just now.
