Chapter 192: Speaking Frankly
When I got home, someone was already waiting for me.
at first.
Chen Chunxing thought it was Wei Da, but when she heard the villagers talking on the way, what they said was such a grand ceremony and so many things...she had doubts in her mind.
It wasn't until he saw a group of heavily-dressed guards that he began to speculate again.
really.
The person standing in the yard waiting was Yang Yucheng, whom they had parted ways with in Liuren City.
Chen Chunxing was a little surprised.
"Lord Yang rushed back from the capital so quickly, but there's another battle on the front lines?"
There is no need to hide things when talking to smart people.
Since the Seventh Prince was escorted away by him, he would certainly mention his encounter with Xue Yongan. If he pretended to know nothing now, he would seem too foolish.
The little girl walked into the yard with a calm expression, went to the kitchen to get the teapot, stood in the yard, poured a bowl, and handed it to the man in armor.
Yang Yucheng's eyes were deep and long. He chuckled a few times and praised unexpectedly, "You are very good. Much better than I thought."
Chen Chunxing knew that he had something to say, but he just smiled and said nothing.
There is no one at home today. The children are playing outside, the old men are on the edge of the field, and Diao has not returned yet. It is a good time to have a private conversation.
Yang Yucheng glanced outside the door, and someone came to close the door and guard it strictly.
After finishing all this.
He glanced at the little girl who didn't look nervous at all and got straight to the point.
"I came here to express my gratitude on behalf of the Seventh Prince. All these things in the courtyard are gifts from the Seventh Prince's biological mother, the current Empress."
Chen Chunxing smiled and glanced at the gift boxes that filled the yard.
"If there's one, there must be another. You'd better tell me everything at once. Don't add a but when I'm already feeling happy..."
Yang Yucheng was amused by her words. His tense brows relaxed a little and he pondered for a moment.
"Besides, there are some things I need to remind you of. To prevent any mishaps from happening when the critical moment comes... because you're unprepared."
Chen Chunxing pretended to listen.
But Yang Yucheng seemed to have encountered some difficult problem. He pursed his lips and turned to look at the caracal lying on the wall.
He suddenly asked, "Wasn't there an orange cat when I came here last time?"
"Ah..." Chen Chunxing couldn't stand his sudden change of heart and grinned, "The cat is outside playing with the children."
Hearing this.
A blurry look flashed across Yang Yucheng's eyes, as if he remembered some distant facts, and shook his head.
"When Old Master Jiang was stationed at the border, he kept a big cat by his side. It looks very similar to your little one."
Chen Chunxing was silent.
"I've been under the old man's tutelage since I was young, and he single-handedly raised me up. I watched the cat grow bigger and bigger, and more and more powerful.
Until the very end, during a battle, the big cat leaped into the enemy camp, bit my leg, and threw me back to its own camp. It then fled the battlefield with wounds all over its body and disappeared.
"For this, the old man gave me a lot of trouble. He was angry that I lost his beloved pet and insisted that I give him a daughter as compensation... Well, fate is so cruel. Now, it's all in the past."
Hearing Yang Yucheng's sigh, Shen Chunxing pricked up his ears keenly.
Did she seem to have heard some incredible gossip?
Unfortunately, Yang Yucheng did not continue to recall the story and changed the subject.
"Ever since the Seventh Prince disappeared, Your Majesty's health has deteriorated, and now it's even worse..."
Yang Yucheng hurriedly approached Chen Chunxing, his eyes burning, but his voice was extremely low, as if he was about to tell a story that would shake the heavens and the earth.
"You must remember that although Master Jiang is suspected of treason, the evidence is not conclusive. The Empress is considering a solution, and I am also secretly investigating... Once the Seventh Prince ascends the throne, it will not be difficult for the Earl of Kangping's Mansion to overturn the verdict."
Chen Chunxing hissed in embarrassment and took a step back.
"What is Lord Yang talking about? What does this have to do with me? I'm just a servant... Even if we can overturn the verdict, now that all the direct descendants have been executed, even if a few children escape, what use will they be?"
Yang Yucheng looked at her steadily, with a look of approval on his face.
"I'm glad you're so cautious. But given my relationship with the old master, there's no need to hide it any further. How could a mere servant have such a keen eye?
During your exile, you brewed medicinal soup, subdued refugees, influenced bandits, and even lowered yourself to befriend the Xue family boy...wasn't everything a preparation for the future?"
Chen Chunxing smiled awkwardly and touched his nose.
She did have her plans, but they had absolutely nothing to do with the Earl of Camping's Mansion.
But since he had gained a lot of advantages because of this name, it would be inappropriate to be honest about it now.
So that others won’t think that you are being wronged.
She lowered her head slightly, and her seemingly acquiescing attitude made Yang Yucheng's heart move slightly, and he comforted her softly.
"You don't need to be too sad. To be able to achieve this level is already a rare achievement. As long as the legitimate descendants are still alive, everything that is due to you will be returned to you without any omission."
The conversation basically ends here.
Yang Yucheng didn't stay long.
He was indeed going to the front line, as the other side was becoming restless again.
Before getting on the horse.
Yang Yucheng suddenly remembered something and lowered his voice to ask Chen Chunxing, "Among the children in your family, which one is...capable of inheriting the family business?"
Chen Chunxing thought about it and said honestly: "Except me, one."
Yang Yucheng calculated the age and roughly guessed who it was. He reached out and patted Chen Chunxing on the shoulder to show encouragement.
After the main force left, a few pairs of red eyes were revealed.
"One? Which one?" Little Fourth asked shamelessly.
The children around him stared at him.
Is there any need to ask? It must be the Third Brother!
Shen Mingqiu's chin almost hit the sky.
Who wants to.
Chen Chunxing pulled Chen Zhixia, who was watching the fun nearby, and touched her little hand with a smile.
"My Zhixia is the best and smartest. She will definitely have a great future."
Nothing was said, yet it seemed as if everything was said.
Now it's Shen Mingqiu's turn to have his nose not a nose and his eyes not eyes.
"Where does that smell come from? Great! How dare you steal my duck! Hey! Shut up and let me do it!"
"Stop it! Be careful of getting burned! Hey, that high official, is he gone?"
"ah."
Chen Chunxing responded nonchalantly, picked up the sliced duck meat and threw it into his mouth.
"Xiang! You are really good at cooking!"
The stove was newly built, the fruit wood was just picked up, and the cook... that was sent back by Diao.
Wang Youcai didn't appreciate this credit and just nodded towards the kitchen.
"The guy you found has really good knife skills, almost as good as my Lao Wang."
The children who crowded into the yard were stared at by another person.
Only after you have tasted it will you know who’s cooking skills are better!
The stove was built in Doctor Chang's yard, so the cook came here today. The children changed the place to eat. Although it was a bit crowded, it did not affect their good mood.
Lao Wang didn't care. He slapped away the little black paws that were stretched out and asked the children to wash their hands first.
"I just passed by your door. Is someone here again with something to deliver?"
Chen Chunxing rummaged through the room rummaging through the spring roll wrappers and sweet noodle sauce, "It's not for me."
He turned around and greeted Shen Mingqiu.
"Go call your sister Wu Min over to eat duck!"
Shen Mingqiu crossed his arms like a sulking scoundrel.
Wu Qing responded first and ran away quickly.
