Chapter 534
Meeting Shen Rang's gaze, Xiao Zhenzhong sighed.
This young man is really difficult to deal with.
“Lord Shen, to be honest, I do know that person, but that person really doesn’t know me,” Xiao Zhenzhong’s smile faded considerably. “My cook makes excellent pastries, and they’re especially good with tea. Please have a taste, my lord.”
Jing Yuan frowned.
Shen Rang didn't say anything more, and actually ate a pastry as Xiao Zhenzhong suggested, before getting up to take his leave.
Once outside the Xiao family gate, Jing Yuancai asked, "Young Master, what should we do next?"
“He must know him,” Shen Rang suddenly laughed. “But this Lord Xiao is quite interesting. Why do you think he let us know he has a nephew?”
"this......"
Before Jing Yuan could think it over, Jing Er arrived.
"Your Highness, a major incident has recently occurred in Luoyang. Lord Xun, who has been retired from the court for many years, suddenly submitted a memorial impeaching Lord Yun. A group of important officials followed suit. Lord Yun and his wife have now arrived in Jizhou to find Lord Xun."
Hearing Jing Er's words, Jing Yuan looked confused: "How did Lord Yun offend Lord Xun? And why are they all heading to Jizhou? Who's in Jizhou?"
Jing Er smirked: "Who else? My aunt, of course."
"You mean, Aunt's adoptive parents are Lord Xun and Madam Xun?!"
Jing Er nodded: "It's confirmed. Lord Xun and his wife will be living with the concubine."
Jing Yuan gasped, his legs went weak.
Oh my god!
Their master actually made the adopted daughter of the Xun family a concubine!
Scholars have always abhorred such things, yet this happened to the Marquis's household...
With Lord Xun leading the impeachment of Lord Yun, will his master be next?
Although Lord Xun has been away from the court for many years, his influence remains, as can be seen from this incident. If he is really determined to impeach, I wonder if the Marquis's mansion can withstand it!
Jing Yuan subconsciously looked at Shen Rang, only to see that Shen Rang's eyebrows were slightly raised and even the corners of his lips were smiling, he actually looked like he was in a very good mood?
Oh no, the prince has gone mad!
Does your family know about this?
"I understand," Jing Er nodded. "The Marquis also sent word that you should go to Jizhou immediately to bring back your concubine... no, to bring back your wife to the manor."
Upon hearing this, Shen Rang turned to look at him, a glint of light flashing in his dark eyes: "The position of young mistress has become vacant?"
"...No, it's not that. It's just that the Marquis took the initiative to go to the Madam and elevated the concubine to the status of an equal wife."
The young mistress now is the daughter of the Crown Prince. She herself doesn't want to leave, so what can anyone do?
Shen Rang gave a cold laugh.
If he didn't have time, why would he pick up Yunxi and take her back?
Now you know to raise it? Where were you before?
“Write a letter home and tell your family that I have no face to pick her up.”
After saying that, Shen Rang kicked the horse's belly and rode forward.
Jing Yuan and Jing Er exchanged a glance and remained silent.
What kind of mess is this?!
——
Jizhou.
In the afternoon, someone knocked on the courtyard gate.
Jixiang went to open the door and recognized the person who came in: "It's you, what's wrong?"
The visitor was one of Xiao Chengping's two attendants: "My young master said he hasn't seen you for several days and asked if you would like to go out for a stroll."
Just then, Madam Chen's voice came from behind: "Who is it?"
Jixiang quickly said, "Madam, this is an attendant of one of Doctor Feng's patients. Some time ago, the young lady was helping Doctor Feng take care of that patient."
