When Chu Xiaoxiao woke up, she was already on the carriage heading home.
She looked at the Baiyan Temple in the distance, her face wrinkled into a bun, tears in her eyes, and she stretched out her hand to Erkang.
[Wow! Why did you leave? Where is the delicious vegetarian food? I didn’t see it either! Couldn’t you wake me up to taste it? This is too much.]
The old lady and Yang laughed secretly after hearing this, and Yang left her a few cakes produced by Baiyan Temple.
Chu Xiaoxiao took it, put it in her mouth, and slowly ground it with her teeth, saying "delicious, delicious" in her heart.
Jiang Chenjue returned from Baiyan Temple, but did not go back to Jiang Mansion, and went directly to Pingning Marquis Mansion.
When he saw Marquis Pingning, he knelt down and kowtowed, "Hello, father!"
Pingning Hou Xukong helped him up: "Why did you come back suddenly? Is there something wrong?"
"Yes!" Jiang Chenjue stood up and sat next to Pingning Hou, "Father! I have something to report to you."
"What's the matter?" Pingning Hou asked indifferently.
"The Crown Prince and his stepmother plotted against the second young lady of the Duke of Huguo's mansion."
"What?" Ping Ninghou was shocked. "Are they crazy? Why would they plot against the second daughter of the Duke of Huguo's mansion? She is a divorced woman."
Jiang Chenjue's expression darkened, and he said in an unhappy tone: "What's wrong with a divorced woman? She is the one I want to marry, my legal wife."
Pingning Hou almost fainted from anger at his eldest son's words: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are a loyal and brave general, why did you marry a divorced woman? Do you want to piss me off to death?"
"This is not the point." Jiang Chenjue waved his hand, not wanting to discuss this with Marquis Pingning. "The point is that the Crown Prince Jiang Chenyu plotted against the woman I liked, and teamed up with his stepmother to destroy her reputation."
Ping Ning Hou was in a state of panic: "I will take care of this matter. You are not allowed to marry the second daughter of the Huguogong Mansion. If you really like her, you can take her as a concubine!"
"Father! My mother was a concubine, and ended up with two dead bodies." Jiang Chenjue's face was terribly gloomy, "Father loved my mother the most, but because she became a concubine, he was plotted against and left his son alone.
Such a painful lesson, but the father didn't remember it? Did he want his son to go through the same pain? How could a girl from the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion be a concubine?"
"this......"
Pingning Hou was blocked by Jiang Chenjue's words, not knowing what to say. Indeed, he was careless back then. He didn't expect Chen to be so cruel. Even if the girl of the Huguogong Mansion was divorced, she would not be a concubine.
Chen and her son's plan was in vain.
"My son is not young anymore, and he can't endure what his father went through. My son has not married for so many years, just waiting for the second young lady of the Guardian Duke's Mansion."
Jiang Chenjue glanced at Pingning Hou and calmly expressed his inner thoughts. He had already moved to a separate residence, and his father could no longer control him, but there were some things that needed to be made clear early on, taking advantage of his debt to his mother.
Of course, this kind of use can only be used once in a lifetime, and he will never mention it again next time.
"I came here today to make things clear with my father. If my father cannot control the prince and ruins my good deeds, I will not give up easily.
The Pingning Marquisate belongs to the prince, not the son. If something goes wrong, or if there is a loss of face or reputation, it is all the business of the Pingning Marquisate. There is no need for the stepmother to intervene in the matter of marrying a wife, the son will take care of it himself. "
Seeing his son who wanted to get married at such an old age, Ping Ning Hou didn't know what to say. He knew very well that his son hated him.
Because of his incompetence, his mother was forced to death. Even though he caught the witness who killed his mother, he did not rush to attack, but chose to endure it.
To put it bluntly, he didn't trust him as a father, and didn't want to have anything to do with Pingning Marquis Mansion. Over the years, he has trained a group of his own people, most of whom are retired soldiers under his command.
They had their own farms and land in the suburbs, and they also bought the house behind the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, but he didn't know when they bought it.
This son is no longer the unknown and silent person he used to be. He has his own rank and his own power.
His most outstanding son is the eldest son in front of him, who was born to him by his cousin, but his cousin was unable to see him.
"Have you decided?" Since he couldn't stop it, Ping Ning Hou could only give up. "Has the Huguogong Mansion agreed?"
"They will agree." Jiang Chenjue's attitude softened a bit, "Father! I hope you won't stop me, but I can't. I only love her in this life.
When I was young, I didn't dare to dream because of my humble status. I have finally waited until today. If anyone dares to ruin my good fortune, don't blame me for being ruthless.
The prince's behavior is really disgusting. He knew that she was my sweetheart, but he actually designed to slander her reputation. "
"I didn't." Jiang Chenyu walked in from outside the door and refuted loudly, "Brother, you must have evidence when you speak."
Jiang Chenjue raised his eyes to look at him and sneered: "Evidence? Isn't Liu Taiwei's daughter Liu Chanru the evidence? Don't think that she won't dare to tell the truth just because you want to take her as a concubine."
Pingning Hou was confused: "What do you mean by the daughter of General Liu? Jiang Chenyu! What did you do? Tell the truth."
Jiang Chenyu lowered his head immediately after being yelled at by his father, not daring to say a word.
He really didn't know where to start talking about this matter. It was his mother who found the person, but it turned out like this. The more he thought about it, the more disgusted he felt.
He shouldn't have been so impulsive that he agreed to marry Chu Zhiyin for eight million taels of silver. The most important point is that the daughter of the Duke of the Guardian would not be a concubine. How could he have forgotten that?
It was all because of the eight million taels of silver.
"Why are you standing there? Tell me, what happened between you and Commandant Liu's daughter?"
"Father, don't be angry. If the prince doesn't say anything, I will."
Jiang Chenjue did not exaggerate and told the story in detail about what happened by the Pebble Lake in Baiyan Temple. Hearing this, Ping Ninghou's eyes widened and his face turned pale.
"You're crazy, you're crazy, you rebellious son, you and Chen are crazy together."
Ping Ning Hou was really angry, and he threw everything he could at Jiang Chenyu. Books, inkstones, brushes, rice paper, and pen holders were smashed all over the floor.
Jiang Chenyu's body and face were covered with ink spots, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
"If a child is not taught well, it is the fault of the father. Father should really teach the prince a lesson." Jiang Chenjue's tone was very gloomy. "If such a huge Pingning Marquis Mansion is defeated by the prince, how will father face his ancestors in the future?"
Jiang Chenyu was so angry that he retorted, "How is my elder brother better than my younger brother? He actually moved to a separate residence for a divorced woman. What? Are you planning to have no contact with the Pingning Marquis Mansion forever?"
"This matter has nothing to do with you. Just remember that from now on, Jiang Mansion is Jiang Mansion, and Pingning Marquis Mansion is Pingning Marquis Mansion. Father can go to Jiang Mansion, but the prince and others are not allowed to enter without permission."
"Huh! Do you think I'm precious?"
"That's great." Jiang Chenjue stood up and stared coldly at Jiang Chenyu, "My lord, remember what I said today. If you break it in the future, I will definitely break your legs."
