Shen Zhaoshu said, "She has been traveling all the time... Xipei's son is already three years old, so it would be better for him to start his education in Kyoto."
Shen Xiao said in surprise: "If Jiang Tao's son can..."
Shen Zhaoshu said: "Father, Jiang Tao's son will not inherit the title.
Just let Xi Pei return to Beijing in the name of your niece's granddaughter, and she and Jiang Tao will set up a separate house to live in.
Xi Pei's return to the capital has nothing to do with your title as marquis."
In order to prevent the Yongding Marquis Mansion from being destroyed in his hands, Chen Xiao went back to open the ancestral hall first. After the matter was done, Chen Yu got the news. He was so angry that he rushed to the Yongding Marquis Mansion and had a big quarrel with his father.
She had been loved by Shen Xiao for many years and had always gotten whatever she wanted. Now, she suddenly lost her status as the eldest daughter and became a concubine's daughter. At first, she couldn't believe it, and later she directed all her anger and resentment towards Shen Zhaoshu.
This woman must be the one who sowed discord!
She completely changed her gentle demeanor and started to curse furiously, some of which were vulgar, which shocked Shen Xiao greatly.
All the major businesses in Kyoto have received the news that the Yongding Marquis' Mansion will no longer pay the bill for Chen Yu of the Rongguo Mansion.
That day, the brother-in-law of the first wife of Rongguo Mansion, the third daughter of the second wife, bought something outside and paid on credit in the name of Chen Yu as usual.
As soon as he left the receipt, he was chased out by the waiter, the items were taken back, and the receipt was returned. Chen Yu's credit was no longer valid, and the Yongding Marquis' Mansion no longer cared about him.
Although the Rongguo Mansion has long been an empty shell, it still has to maintain its reputation.
In this way, they were stopped by the waiter in the street and asked to take back the "purchased" items, and it was pointed out that the Yongding Marquis' Mansion would not pay the bill, so it was no use to put the bill on Chen Yu's account, which made the young masters and young ladies of Rongguo Mansion lose face.
After being humiliated and losing face outside, he naturally had to find trouble with Chen Yu when he got home.
Chen Yu was bullied by her brother-in-law and the third lady, her face turning pale and red. She went to the Yongding Marquis's residence and made a scene, grabbing her father and crying, "Are you asking me to die? Father, if you do this, there is no way for your daughter to survive."
Shen Yu was making a fuss when he seemed to see someone in his father's study. He rushed in and saw that it was Shen Zhaoshu who was checking the accounts.
When she saw Shen Yu, Shen Zhaoshu said, "I have made a list of the money you owe to the Yongding Marquis' Mansion and will send it to the Rongguo Mansion later.
The Rongguo Mansion must return at least one of the things and the money."
Shen Yu looked at his father Shen Xiao and said, "Are you really going to do this to me?"
Chen Xiao said: "Your sister is very careful and has asked people. Many of the things were not bought or taken by you. Aren't they bullying you?
Why not let them return it?"
Chen Jue said: "Okay, okay, then don't blame me!"
No one expected that Chen Jue would actually go outside the palace gate and knock on the drum to report the incident. The old marquis almost laughed out loud.
To beat the emperor's drum for such a thing?! But Chen Jue was not doing it for such a thing.
There hasn't been such a powerful person in many years. Since the drum has been beaten, Xuanyuan Hao must meet him according to the rules.
At the same time, the old Marquis Yongding was also summoned.
When Chen Yu saw Xuanyuan Hao, he concealed his usual fierce attitude, knelt down properly, and said that he was beating the drum and was involved in a conspiracy case fifty years ago.
Shen Xiao broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.
His favorite concubine, Chen Yu's biological mother, the one nicknamed Yumei, was the daughter of the Zhong family who was involved in a treason case many years ago.
Because the Zhong family rebelled against old man Xuanyuan, the two sides fought for nearly eight months after the uprising, and the Zhong family was defeated.
The entire family was executed, leaving only one daughter, Zhong Qin, alive.
Because Zhong Qin had helped old man Xuanyuan when he was young and down and out many years ago.
After old man Xuanyuan spared Zhong Qin's life, he asked Zhong Qin if she wanted to enter the palace.
After all, Zhong Qin was unwilling to be killed by her entire family. Later, Zhong Qin was rescued and sent to Shazhou County, and Shen Xiao was also looking for Zhong Qin.
He and Zhong Qin had been engaged since childhood. Although Chen Xiao had never met Zhong Qin because he was always fighting against the Northern Huns at the border, the two of them had been exchanging letters.
Because the Zhong family was conspiring for treason and their entire family was executed, Shen's parents were too scared to fulfill the marriage contract. With the marriage arranged by old man Xuanyuan, Shen Xiao married Wu Jia.
Later, Shen Xiao found Zhong Qin and wronged her, so he had to take her as a concubine. Except for the status, Zhong Qin was ahead of Wu Jia in almost every step.
But Chen Xiao didn't know about the relationship between old man Xuanyuan and Zhong Qin, nor did he know that the royal family had already let Zhong Qin go.
Now he couldn't help but lament that his daughter with Zhong Qin was actually trying to overthrow him just because she had no money to spend, and she took the initiative to tell him about her mother's life experience.
The Yongding Marquisate is probably finished now. Taking in the wives of traitors is either sympathy for the rebels or deceiving the emperor, either of which is unacceptable.
She looked at Chen Yu again, puzzled. Was she crazy? She was the daughter of a traitor, so what good could she do?
Xuanyuan Hao was surprised after hearing this and asked, "You said your biological mother Yu Mei is Zhong Qin?
Are you mistaken? Your biological mother is Zhong Qin.
Her alias was Wu Jia, meaning "homeless." Her father had made many arrangements for her alias and identity, and she took the name Wu Jia herself.
