Chapter 464 Murong Chen Visits

Zhu Yixuan, who was preparing for the exam, frowned and looked at Master Zhu and the housekeeper after knowing the whole story. "You didn't pay the deposit in advance?"

Master Zhu turned his head away and snorted coldly, "Everyone in the whole county knows that I have my eyes on that coffin!"

Zhu Yixuan was speechless. "If it's Lu Tong, I would believe him, but if it's Chen Yi, I might not. He won't care what you like, nor will he care if he offends you!"

He knew Shen Yi's temper a long time ago, that guy was very weird.

Master Zhu was furious. "Then I suffered this loss in vain! That was the coffin I liked! I liked it! How many years do I have left for your father? Now that my coffin has been taken away, do you care?"

Zhu Yixuan was in a dilemma. "I will take care of it! Butler, send someone to stop the coffin first, and ask the coffin shop to send another coffin over. I will go over and apologize and explain myself."

In order to appease his father, he had no choice but to do this.

Butler Zhu quickly took seven or eight people in a carriage to chase the coffin.

By this time the coffin had already gone several miles out of the county town. When they saw the coffin-carrying team, they rushed up without saying a word and surrounded them.

The butler shouted sternly: "Stop! Stop right there!"

Zheng Ergui and the others put down the coffin for no apparent reason and stared at Butler Zhu in confusion, "What's going on?"

Housekeeper Zhu stepped forward and shouted, "This coffin was what our master of the Zhu family had set his eyes on a long time ago, but the owner of the coffin shop sold it to us unethically. You guys hurry up and carry it back to the city!"

"No! We have all received money from the county magistrate, and we agreed that the things must be delivered to Shenjiazhuang intact. The coffin shop owner was there at the time, but he didn't mention the Zhu family's affairs! Besides, we watched the county magistrate pay the money! This thing is now his.

No matter how powerful your Zhu family is, you can't rob others' things!" Zheng Ergui still had some courage, and he immediately started to argue with the housekeeper Zhu.

Butler Zhu's face turned pale and he said angrily, "Our eldest young master has already spent double the money to find County Magistrate Shen. Now send the coffin back to me!"

Everyone was undecided for a moment.

Zheng Ergui shook his head stubbornly, "This is a deal between your Zhu family and Lord Shen. Unless Lord Shen speaks personally, we can't listen to you. Brothers! Let's go! We can't afford to pay for delaying the important business!"

Compared with the Zhu family, they are naturally more afraid of officials.

Butler Zhu was extremely angry, but he didn't dare to use force, so he could only take people with him to deliberately trip them up and delay time.

There were several near-fights between the two sides.

Just like that, another group of Zhu family members pulled another coffin and rushed to Moshi Town.

Murong Chen arrived at Shenjiazhuang under the escort of Shen Yi and others.

As soon as he entered the village, Murong Chen looked around curiously, "Is this where the concubine used to live?"

Tang Yu nodded.

Murong Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "This village is nice and quite wealthy. It seems that the concubine had a good life before. No wonder she always said that she wanted to return home."

Tang Yu choked and said hesitantly, "Your Highness, in fact, I have not been in Shenjia Village for a long time. I heard that this place was originally very poor, and the concubine's family was even more destitute. Later, Shen Yi became rich first, and the couple led the villagers to make money, and their lives gradually got better."

Murong Chen looked at Shen Yi, "What was the situation of the concubine's family before? I want to hear the truth."

Shen Yi pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: “The concubine’s father’s name is Chen Mu, her mother’s name is Huang, and her grandmother’s name is Chen. They have eye problems and cannot see.

The concubine had many brothers and sisters, and the whole family depended on the income from the land to make a living. They could be said to be the poorest family in the village at that time.

At that time, I was running a small business. I had no parents or brothers, and my wife was pregnant, so I was really overwhelmed. So my second aunt recommended the concubine's mother, Huang, to come and help.

It was also from that time that the situation of the concubine's family gradually improved. Later, I went into business with the concubine's brother, and now the concubine's family is one of the richest in the village.

Over the years, Uncle Chenmu has built large courtyards for his sons. Because we made contributions at the border, the emperor gave us plaques, and the concubine brother even built a house for us to worship. "

As they were talking, the group arrived at Chen Mu's house.

Chen Mu and Shen Da Gou entered the house first, pulled Huang Xinghua and said nervously: "The noble is here, you should quickly ask the children to leave first and don't make a fuss. It would be bad if they alarm the noble."

"What noble man is this?" Huang Xinghua had just cried and her mind was buzzing.

Su Tai beside him hurriedly said, "Aunt, listen to uncle and go make arrangements first. I'll go out and take a look."

Chen Mu and Shen Dagou hurried to catch up with Su Tai.

As soon as Su Tai walked out of the yard, her legs went limp with fear and she fell to her knees with a thump, "Your Highness!"

Murong Chen stepped forward and gave her a false support, "Mrs. Shen, there is no need to be polite, just stand up and talk."

Su Tai looked at Shen Yi and Tang Yu in shock, and asked cautiously: "Your Highness came to Lizhou, what about Tiantian?"

Murong Chen shook his head, "I came here for the imperial examination, and my concubine is about to give birth, so I can't travel far."

Su Tai understood and respectfully led Murong Chen the way.

Chen Mu on the side was stunned.

Shen Dagou quickly pulled his hand, motioning him to follow.

The group entered Mrs. Chen's bedroom.

Su Tai hurried forward and gently woke up Granny Chen, "Grandma, the person you've been thinking about is here to see you!"

She called out to Mrs. Chen several times before she responded.

Shen Yi also stepped forward and said, “Grandma, I’m Shen Yi, I brought my sweet husband to see you.”

Granny Chen weakly tilted her head and smiled in the direction of the voice, "Chen Yi! You are an official now! Da Gou said you are very busy, how come you have time to come back to the village?"

Seeing that Mrs. Chen was still conscious, Shen Yi and Shen Dagou quickly helped her up.

"Grandma, sweet husband is here too."

Murong Chen spoke in a gentle voice, "Grandma, I'm Murong Chen, I came to see you on behalf of Tiantian."

When Mrs. Chen heard the strange voice, her face was startled. "Hello, Tiantian's husband! Hello! How is my Tiantian? Is she doing well?"

"Very good! She is very good! She has the final say in all matters in the mansion. My father and mother like her very much. She often comes back to the Yong'an Marquis's mansion to talk with Yong'an Marquis."

Murong Chen spoke in a slow and steady voice, and Mrs. Chen was happy to hear it.

"Okay, okay! My Tiantian has been obedient, sensible and filial since she was young. I was worried about her marrying so far away! Now that I hear you say this, I feel relieved!" Mrs. Chen said with a reassuring smile and concerned words.

Murong Chen felt warm at heart watching this. No wonder Chen Tian always talked about her grandmother and wanted to save a portion of all the good things for her.

Thinking of this, Murong Chen ordered his men to bring in the box, "Grandma, here are the things Tiantian prepared for you, including the clothes she made by herself and the headgear she chose for you. She said that you have never had a decent headgear in your life, and your family has the conditions but cannot use it, which is a bit regrettable, so she prepared everything for you."
