Chapter 466 The Emotional Entanglement of Four People
"Madam, something's wrong. Prince Zhong and Grand Tutor Pang have brought many officers and soldiers to the mansion. Madam wants you to go there quickly."
Chen Baoyi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Liu Ailian glared at Mrs. Pang fiercely, then pulled Chen Baoyi out.
Leave a message before leaving.
"Don't think Pang Qingyun can find you just because he's here. Even if they ransack the Duke of Chen's mansion, they won't be able to find the entrance to this secret room."
"Sister, wait until I send them away, then I'll come and send you off."
Chen Baoyi winked at Mrs. Pang, signaling her to rest assured.
Mrs. Pang looked at Chen Baoyi's arm dripping with blood, and a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes.
Liu Ailian is Liu Ailian, and Baoyi is Baoyi.
She would not implicate Baoyi in her hatred for Liu Ailian.
This is the reception room of Duke Chen's Mansion.
Everyone in the Chen family was standing around Old Madam Chen.
At this time, the second master of the Chen family, who only knew how to visit brothels, listen to operas, and take concubines, glared at Shen Zhao and Pang Qingyun with an angry face.
"Your Highness, Grand Tutor! What has our Chen family done wrong? Why are you mobilizing so many troops to surround the Chen Mansion?"
Ever since my eldest brother became the Duke of Chen and commanded a large army, everyone who saw the Chen family would fawn over them.
Even those dignitaries of higher status than him would treat him as a guest of honor out of consideration for his elder brother.
When others came to visit his Chen Mansion, they always brought priceless treasures. When had the Chen family and the Duke's Mansion ever suffered such injustice?
Shen Zhao and Pang Qingyun's expressions were also extremely ugly.
They had just fought a tough battle. That old bastard Chen Dingtian actually raised soldiers in the Duke's Mansion.
All the guards and servants of the Chen family are elite soldiers trained in the army.
Fortunately, they not only brought the Lulin Army, but also the soldiers from the Jingzhong Camp, otherwise it would be hard to say who would be controlled.
Now Wu Yunfeng was still in the yard ordering his soldiers to tie up the Chen family's men.
"What did I do wrong? You still have the nerve to ask? This is Kyoto, under the feet of the emperor. The laws of Southern Chu clearly stipulate that no one is allowed to raise an army privately."
"From the steward to the servants in Duke Chen's mansion, all the men are elite soldiers from the army."
"Maintaining an army privately is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family. Tell me, what did your Chen family do wrong?"
Pang Qingyun was still thinking about what excuse to use to cause trouble for the Chen family.
No need to wonder now.
That bastard Chen Dingtian dared to raise troops privately under the nose of the emperor. He must be tired of living!
"Master Taifu has truly misunderstood."
A gentle voice was heard, and when Pang Qingyun saw that it was Liu Ailian, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
He didn't expect that Liu Ailian actually returned to Kyoto. Now, with Liu Ailian's help, it would be much easier to find his wife.
"Sister, it is a serious crime to raise an army without permission. You are not in Kyoto for a long time and you know very little about military affairs. The mistakes made by the Chen Mansion have nothing to do with you. You and Baoyi should not get involved in this mess."
Madam regarded Liu Ailian as her own sister, so it was true that he came to raid the mansion of Duke Chen today.
But he couldn't touch Liu Ailian and Chen Baoyi.
If he dared to deal with them together with the Chen family, the lady would definitely not let him off easily if she found out.
He often heard his wife say that Liu Ailian was not living well in the Chen family, and the letters he sent to his wife were all complaining to her.
Therefore, under the influence of his wife, Master Pang thought that Liu Ailian was a good and innocent person.
"Master Taifu, these servants and stewards in our mansion are indeed soldiers transferred from the army..."
Before Liu Ailian could finish her words, she was interrupted by Old Madam Chen:
"Liu, what nonsense are you talking about? They just know a few more martial arts than the servants in other lords' residences. How can they be called up from the army?"
Old Madam Chen looked down on Liu Ailian from the bottom of her heart. Others might not know about her sister-in-law, but I knew it clearly.
The claims that she was the legitimate daughter of Liu family of Hanzhou and of noble birth, or that she was the adopted daughter of the wife of Duke Rong, were all lies to deceive outsiders.
When Liu first married in, she didn't know.
Dingtian was extremely cold towards his new wife. Even on their wedding night, Dingtian slept alone in the study.
She was also afraid that Liu would go to the Rongguo Mansion to complain to the wife of the Duke of Rong. At that time, the Chen family was just an ordinary official family, and there was a certain gap between them and the Rongguo Mansion.
She coaxed Liu nicely and acted like a grandson in front of Liu, the so-called noble lady.
He also helped Liu to prescribe medicine for the world, so that the two of them could finally become a real couple.
The next day Dingtian woke up and was furious.
They killed all the servants who served them that night and came to her yard with a bloody sword.
He pressed her, "Mother, was it you who drugged my son and Liu?"
At that time, she was still afraid of Liu and did not dare to tell Dingtian that it was Liu who proposed it to her, and that the medicine was given to her by Liu.
She was afraid that if she told the truth, Dingtian and Liu would completely break up, so she could only grit her teeth and admit it despite the hatred in Dingtian's eyes.
She was eager to have a grandson, so she gave him and Liu that medicine.
Dingtian looked up to the sky and let out a long roar. He was crying and laughing, and kept shouting.
"God is so unfair, God is so unfair, why don't you open your eyes and look at a poor person like me."
"I've loved Yuan Xiang for ten whole years, from the time we first fell in love until now. Haha... Why did she fall in love with someone else... Why..."
She was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward and covered Dingtian's mouth.
Yuanxiang was the nickname of the Rong girl, but that Rong girl had already married Pang Qingyun.
Or marry Dingtian on the same day.
If other people heard this, Dingtian’s reputation would be ruined.
She was even more afraid that Liu Ailian would hear it.
Liu Ailian and the girl from the Rong family were like sisters and grew up together in the Rongguo Mansion.
It would be disastrous if she knew that Dingtian had someone else in his heart.
"Dingtian, you and Liu are now a couple in name only. From now on, you must stop thinking about other people."
"The Liu family and the Rong family girl are like sisters. They both come from wealthy families. It doesn't matter who I marry."
Dingtian pushed her away and laughed like crazy.
"Mother, do you really think that Liu came from a wealthy family?"
"She is just a branch of the Liu family. She came to Jingdu with her parents to seek refuge with the wife of Duke Rong!"
"Liu's parents fell ill on their way here, leaving Liu alone in the world."
"It was because Lady Rong took pity on her that she raised her in the Duke's Mansion."
"She is not some legitimate daughter of the Liu family. Her true identity is not even as noble as that of a maidservant beside you."
"She tricked me into getting married. She said she would exchange sedan chairs with Yuanxiang on the wedding day and let me marry Yuanxiang. She lied to me, she lied to me, mother..."
"The one I've always wanted to marry is Yuanxiang. There's only one person in my heart. There's not a single empty space. It's all Yuanxiang... It's all Yuanxiang..."
"Mom, do you understand what love is? Do you understand?"
…
Old Madam Chen looked at Liu Ailian with more and more disgust. If it weren't for Liu Ailian's despicable behavior, she would have plotted against Dingtian.
Dingtian would not travel far to Linhai in these years, nor would he have any estrangement with her as his mother.
Now this bitch has come out again and accused the servants and guards in the mansion of being soldiers.
Mrs. Chen wished she could strangle her to death right now.
Shen Zhao listened to Madam Shen's inner thoughts and finally understood the love, hatred and vengeance between them.
"Mother, how come you, like the Grand Tutor, misunderstand your daughter-in-law?"
