The emperor saw that Chu Xiaoxiao was fine and nothing happened to her. After listening to her thoughts, he realized that his problem was related to her and he was very confused.

I want to ask what the confusing matter is, but I'm afraid of scaring the Chu family. After all, the fact that one can hear one's own voice is unbelievable. So forget it. Don't ask. I'll talk about it later when I have the chance.

Chu Xiaoxiao was fine, and the emperor left with the prince and the imperial physician.

A few days after this incident, a matchmaker came to her house to arrange a marriage for Chu Zhiyin, but she refused.

Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years. She no longer needs a man in her life. She just came out of a deep mansion and didn't want to fall into another deep mansion right away.

I'll live my life alone.

Jiang Chenjue was stunned when he received the news. He repeatedly asked the matchmaker, "Did the second daughter of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion really say this? Does she not want to marry again?"

The matchmaker nodded with a bitter face: "Yes! That's what she said."

When she asked for the fifth time, the matchmaker was unhappy: "General! She won't marry you. Even if you ask a hundred times, the answer will still be the same."

Jiang Chenjue was stunned again, then waved at the matchmaker, signaling her to leave.

When Jiang Chenyu, the son of Marquis Pingning, returned home and heard that his mother was under house arrest, he became restless and immediately rushed to his mother's yard to meet her.

Chen was kneeling in front of the Buddhist temple, beating the wooden fish and muttering something. Jiang Chenyu came in and exclaimed, "Mother! Why are you really worshipping the Buddha? Why would your father punish you?"

Chen ignored her son and continued to recite the scriptures with her eyes closed. After finishing a passage, she put down the wooden fish, opened her eyes, and stood up from the cushion.

"Jiang Chenjue is back, this time he came prepared. He moved into a new house after returning, and he also found evidence that his mother had killed his mother.

Yu'er! You have grown up, please make me the crown prince, you will definitely be the next Marquis of Pingning in the future. But with Jiang Chenjue here, you will be more of a threat as long as you are not the Marquis of Pingning."

Jiang Chenyu was shocked: "Brother is back? He moved to a separate house right after he came back? What does he want to do?"

"We don't know yet. Send someone to keep an eye on him. No matter what he wants to do, we must destroy it and force him to leave the capital."

Chen's words gave Jiang Chenyu a direction: "Son knows. Don't worry! Although you are under house arrest, the Pingning Marquis Mansion is still firmly under the control of mother and son."

Looking up at her son, Chen was very pleased: "Yu'er! You have to learn how to handle some things. Jiang Chenjue is now in your hands. Whether you can force him to leave depends on your ability."

"My son understands."

Then he left Chen's yard and asked someone to keep an eye on Jiang Chenjue's every move.

As soon as the matchmaker left Jiang's house, she was stopped by someone. The person who came was also a woman. When they met, she didn't say anything and first gave her an ingot of silver, five taels.

The matchmaker was startled, looked at the old woman suspiciously, pulled her to a small alley, threw the silver in her hand, and asked with a smile: "Old sister! What do you want to know?"

Seeing how the matchmaker was so good at it, the old woman smiled and sighed, "Our lady is very curious about which family the eldest master sent you to propose marriage to him."

The matchmaker's smile faded, and she stuffed the silver in her hand to the woman: "Then I dare not say."

The old woman's face froze, and she took out another silver ingot from her pocket and stuffed it into the matchmaker's hand together with the original one.

"There's nothing I dare not say. Just open your mouth and you can get ten taels of silver for free."

After weighing the two ingots of silver in her hand, the matchmaker thought for a moment and lowered her voice: "Your eldest son wants to marry the divorced second daughter of the Duke of Huguo, but she doesn't agree. I'm afraid this won't happen."

The old woman nodded, indicating that she understood, and then asked, "Is it marriage? Not marriage?"

"Marry" means to marry a wife, and "take" means to take a concubine. The two terms are different.

The matchmaker told her with certainty: "It's to get a wife."

The old woman nodded slightly, then thanked him and left.

The matchmaker took the silver and left to the other end of the alley.

Pingning Marquis Mansion.

After hearing what the maid said, Chen sneered, "That illegitimate eldest son is really ambitious. He actually wants to marry the second daughter of the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion who divorced her. If this really happens, he will have the support of the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion. Wouldn't that be the biggest threat to my son?

No, we can’t let him succeed, tell Yu’er about this and let him find a way to ruin it.”

The old woman agreed and went to look for Jiang Chenyu.

As Qingming Festival is approaching, the old lady of the Duke of Huguo's mansion plans to take the women in the family to the temple to burn incense and take her granddaughter out for a walk.

The little boy got bored at home, and the older he got, the more he wanted to go out.

All she did all day was eat, and she was always nagging about going out for an outing. The old lady was so distressed by her nagging that she decided to take her and the other women in the family out for a trip.

This time we went to Baiyan Temple, which is the largest temple outside the capital. It is very popular and dignitaries and even royal families often come here to worship.

When Chu Xiaoxiao heard that she was going out, she was so happy that she started chattering and dancing in the morning.

[Ahaha! I’m finally going out for an outing. I’m so happy! I’ll bring my aunt along. Her matchmaking is at Baiyan Temple.]

Yang paused as she was packing up her things. Is there another marriage for her sister-in-law? In Baiyan Temple? She had to go.

"Pearl! Go tell Second Aunt to prepare to go with us. She is too young to stay at home all the time. The spring scenery outside is very beautiful."

"yes!"

Zhenzhu knelt down and bowed, then turned to look for Chu Zhiyin.

[Alas! My aunt's marriage is still a bit bumpy. I don't know if that person is in Baiyan Temple today. I have to check it out. Oh! So that's how it is...]

Yang: “…”

What? That person is not in Baiyan Temple? Tell me! I am so anxious.

Chu Xiaoxiao, neatly dressed, stood there holding a stool, looking at a white magnolia flower on the windowsill.

She screamed "Ah", and the leaves of the white magnolia flower swayed gently without wind.

Then she let out another "ah" and the leaves shook again.

The baby's white and tender little face sometimes wrinkled, sometimes laughed happily, and then frowned and thought like an adult, and even gasped with a "hiss".

Looking at her extremely cute appearance, Yang laughed secretly while packing her things.

I don't know what she was talking to the pot of white magnolia, but they seemed to be having a great time, one flower each.

"ah!"

Chu Xiaoxiao screamed again, rummaged around in her pocket, took out a small piece of cake, put it in her mouth, bit off half of it, and then held up the remaining half to give to Bai Yulan.

The magnolia flower seemed to be frightened, all its leaves were motionless, as if they were painted on.

"ah!"

Holding on to a stool, Chu Xiaoxiao walked over and threw the pastries into the pot of white magnolia.

[Since you have passed on so much information to me, I will give you the most delicious cakes. Take it. Why are you being polite? Eat what I have given you! ]

Magnolia: "......"

Oh my God, oh my God, I am a flower and I don’t eat cakes!

How could you think of letting flowers eat cakes?
