Chapter 321 His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince
Xia He wiped away her tears and ignored Yin Qianxue who kept giving her eye signals.
He said directly: "Sir, I am afraid that Concubine Liu's influence in the mansion will surpass that of our wife!"
"What do you mean?" Chen Huan's face darkened.
Liu Rumei was just a poor and helpless peasant girl whom he picked up from outside two years ago.
Whenever he was at home, Liu Rumei rarely left her yard. She spent the whole day fiddling with flowers and plants, or cooking in the kitchen, looking like she was indifferent to the world.
He thought that such a woman should be calm and gentle, and would not bully Qianxue.
So after he made a mistake due to drinking that time, he thought about it and decided to keep Liu. He would be away from home for a long time and the two of them could keep each other company.
Who would have thought that Liu was such a troublesome person?
"Your Excellency, you may not know that Concubine Liu is very well-behaved and obedient in front of you, but as soon as you leave, this Chen Mansion will soon become her territory!"
"From the steward to the gatekeeper, I wonder what kind of bewitching drug that Concubine Liu has drugged them into, to actually dare to be so disrespectful to Madam!"
"The kitchen even took the liberty of increasing Concubine Liu's meal from four dishes and one soup to eight dishes and one soup, the same as Madam's!"
"Even the bird's nest and deer antlers you bought specifically for Madam were taken away by Concubine Liu on the pretext that she was pregnant and needed to replenish her body!"
Chen Huan's face darkened. He clenched his fists and asked, "Anything else?"
"Also...after the Oleander incident last time, Madam was afraid that she would cause trouble again, so she used this excuse to leave the house and come to Ping'an Town. But who knew that Madam Liu would send Qiuyu to force Madam to go back."
"When the Madam didn't reply, she brought Qiuyu after her and started making a scene on the street..."
"Where is she now?!" The veins on the back of Chen Huan's hand popped out.
"He lives in Yaoxian Hall." Yin Qianxue, who was sitting next to him, sighed and said.
"I was afraid she would pester me and cause trouble, and I was also afraid something might happen to her, so I placed her there, and Doctor Sun sent someone to watch over her."
"Yes," Chen Huan responded in a deep voice, reaching out and pulling Yin Qianxue into his arms, "I'm sorry that you have wronged me, Madam."
Xia He looked at the two people cuddling on the couch, and tears of joy couldn't stop falling.
She sniffed and said, "Madam, if anything happens in the future, you must remember to tell the Master. You must never bear it on your own again!"
Chen Huan stretched out his hand and rubbed the ends of Yin Qianxue's black hair, and whispered, "I'll take care of everything. This time when I go back, I will definitely not let her stay in the mansion."
"But from now on, you have to tell me more about family matters and don't hide anything from me."
"Yeah." Yin Qianxue nodded and buried her head in his arms.
The breath she took was filled with the familiar cold fragrance that she craved. The doubts that had arisen when she saw her sister and Yun Sanlang being intimate that day had now completely dissipated.
Seeing this, Xia He quickly covered her hot little face with her hands and ran out with a smile on her face.
Madam and the Lord finally talked it out!
Now the good days of that little vixen Liu Rumei are over!
Chen Huan snuggled up to Yin Qianxue and was affectionate with her for a long time. Finally, after he coaxed her to sleep, he tiptoed out of the room.
He took off his official robes, asked his personal guard to change into casual clothes, then asked the waiter who was wiping the table downstairs for a pot of wine and walked out of the inn.
He married Yin Qianxue because he saw in her a dignified and elegant lady from a noble family, well-educated, considerate, and someone who would support his career and take care of household chores.
In the past two years, Yin Qianxue has indeed managed the Chen Mansion in an orderly manner. Because she was afraid that he would be distracted from the family, she never even told him when she was wronged.
It was indeed his fault that he owed her.
This time when he returns, he must make amends to Qianxue and put the family back in order...
Bang!
Suddenly, I tripped.
Chen Huan lost his balance and suddenly lunged forward.
Just as he was about to fall flat on his face, someone grabbed his arm and helped him to stand firm.
"Who?!" Chen Huan was a little annoyed.
Who is playing such a joke on him late at night?
There was a faint sound of footsteps, and a petite figure walked out from the shadows in the corner.
Chen Huan was about to explode, but after seeing the man's face clearly and the jade token in his hand, his eyes suddenly widened: "Five... five, five-five, Your Highness!"
Jingzhen was wearing a long black gown, and his whole body almost blended into the night.
He stood in front of Chen Huan, his expression cold: "Have you finished your family affairs?"
Hearing Jing Zhen ask this, Chen Huan suddenly remembered something...
Could it be that the person who came to deliver the message to him was the Fifth Prince's man?!
But, didn't His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince disappear many years ago?!
It is said that he was kidnapped by a mysterious master in the martial arts world and no one has heard of him since then. No one has seen him again. Over the years, the fifth prince has never returned to the palace.
Now, he has grown so big?
He looked at Jingzhen's eyebrows and eyes carefully, and could vaguely see some shadow of his past. If it weren't for the jade token, he probably wouldn't be sure.
The True Dragon Jade Token is distributed by the current emperor to the princes and princesses. It is a symbol of status and also a privilege.
"I'm asking you a question." Jing Zhen said coldly.
"Your Highness, I may need some... time." Chen Huan bowed and said carefully.
"This matter is difficult to handle. Your Highness will not interfere in your family affairs. However..."
"Does Your Highness have any other instructions?" Chen Huan was very perceptive.
Jing Zhen glanced at him and said: "If I can't manage my own family, how can I manage the whole world and my country?"
Chen Huan blushed and said earnestly, "Your Highness is right!"
Seeing that he was sincerely reflecting on himself, Jing Zhen coughed lightly and said, "There is indeed something I need to discuss with you."
"Your Highness, please speak!" Chen Huan responded quickly.
A child who is only about ten years old can say such words and point out his mistakes. He is convinced.
I also feel that this Fifth Prince seems to be no ordinary person.
"I heard Captain Fei has volunteered to assist you in deploying defenses along the border?"
Jingzhen didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he spoke calmly.
Chen Huan was slightly stunned, then said, "Yes."
"Well," Jingzhen nodded, "There's a lot to talk about. Let's go in and talk."
After he finished speaking, he entered the inn first, asked the waiter for two pounds of braised beef, a plate of peanuts, a plate of edamame, and two jars of pear blossom white tea, and then went into the private room on the second floor.
Chen Huan glanced at the small and exquisite wine jug in his hand, pouted, and hurried to catch up.
Jingzhen had already sat down in the private room, thinking about what he wanted to talk to Chen Huan about.
In order to win over and build up his own power, he had to start from the bottom. He planned to start with his surroundings, gather available talents in the north and east of Dakang Kingdom, and then head towards the capital.
The curtain of the private room was lifted, and Chen Huan came in from outside. Seeing Jingzhen sitting at the table, he felt a little uneasy.
Captain Fei Meng is a man of Prince Heshun Ye Jinghua, and Prince Heshun and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have always been at odds with each other.
The Fifth Prince is looking for him...
