After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 289 Lu Daxiong's Bottom Line
Seeing their master and servant like this, Chen Xingyan knew that they still couldn't let go.

"Young master, what your brother wrote in the letter is not very clear. He just said that if I have any questions, I will ask you. Would you like to talk to me?"

Fu Chengan froze for a moment, first asked about Fu Yan's attitude with his eyes, and then saw him nodding slightly, and then came one by one.

It turned out that Fu Chengxu was ordered to investigate a corruption case with the prince, and one of the in-laws of the Zhen family was involved.

By the time the news reached the ears of Mrs. Zhen, the wife of Duke Wei's mansion, Fu Chengan had already left Beijing.

Originally, Mrs. Zhen could not get used to the few children left behind by her first spouse, and thought that they would all be killed, so she simply took this opportunity to contact someone to kill Fu Chengxu on the way.

In the end, unexpectedly, during the plotting, the young master Fu Chengan heard about it. After all, Fu Chengan was still a child. After a moment of panic, he naturally alarmed the people in the room, and because of this, he attracted Murder.

Seeing that the plan was exposed, Zhen simply increased her manpower to chase and kill Fu Chengan all the way, but unexpectedly, she let him escape.

Of course, so far, the Zhen family doesn't know that Fu Chengan is still alive. After all, he has been away from Beijing for more than three months. If he is still alive, he should have returned to the capital to seek justice.

When Zhen sent people to kill Fu Chengxu, she didn't forget to send people to kill Fu Chengxu. Her original intention was not to remove the roadblock for her own relatives, but to find a good future for her son.

The Zhen family had previously given birth to a daughter for the Duke of Wei, and now she is pregnant again, which is said to be a boy.

Before the son was born, he started attacking the eldest son and the young master.

After listening to Fu Chengan's words, Chen Xingyan felt that this Mrs. Zhen might have a hole in her head!

What if the baby is a daughter?

Then live again?
Until a son is born?

Besides, even if you gave birth to a son, the two sons left by your first spouse are the real legitimate sons, and since ancient times they have been brought up in an orderly manner. There is no doubt, how can Fu Chengxu's uncles let it go?
Don't the two children really disappear at that time, and your own son will be sent to the prison by others before he can sit on the throne.

However, the reason why this stepwife is so bold is not without confidence.

The stepwife of the Duke of Wei's mansion, Mrs. Zhen, is the younger sister of the upstart General Zhen who has been promoted in recent years.

Now that General Zhen is extremely favored, even if Duke Wei's government intends to seek justice for a few juniors, it has to weigh it carefully.

With such a stepmother on the stand, the brothers are quite unlucky.

"Okay, if that's the case, then you should settle down here first. If you are not used to living here, you can move to the village or the county town. What do you think?"

Fu Yan cupped her hands and said, "Thank you Madam Lu for being willing to take us in. We'll just live here, don't trouble Madam Lu to worry about us anymore."

In fact, this quiet garden is indeed a good place. There were already a lot of long-term tenants living there, and it would be inconspicuous if there were two more of them.

"If you want to go out for activities, you'd better change your attire and address. From what the son said in the letter, I'm afraid that stepwife is also looking for you secretly."

Fu Chengan's face turned slightly pale, thinking of the pursuit he had encountered all the way, he probably had a shadow in his heart.

After all, he is only a child of how old.

"Thank you for reminding me, madam, I have to trouble you to get some clothes prepared for us."

"Well, no trouble. Fu Shizi and my elder brother can be regarded as friends. For their sake, I have to take good care of you. If you have nothing to do, you can go to the garden to tend flowers and plants to hide your eyes."

"Yes, thank you madam."

After Chen Xingyan separated from the two of them, he went to Taoyuan Residence.

Now that the place has been tidied up, Chen Xingyan simply went to the small study and posted a post for the wives and ladies.

It's October now, and the chrysanthemums in Jingyuan are blooming well. During the Double Ninth Festival, many literati and students were entertained here. He was concerned about the difference between men and women, so Chen Xingyan didn't send a special post to Mrs. Chen and others.

Now that I am free, and Chrysanthemum is not defeated at this time, it can still be rewarded.

The magistrate's wife was naturally very happy to receive the invitation.

She has long heard that Jingyuan has a great view, and that even some princes and brothers from Fucheng will come here to enjoy it, so she has long been moved.

It's just a pity that during the Double Ninth Festival, the county magistrate also went to Jingyuan, but they were all men, and it was not easy for Mrs. Li to go with them.

Now that she received Chen Xingyan's post, Mrs. Li wondered if she should just stay in Jingyuan for a few days?

"Do you know who sent this post to?"

"Mrs. Hui, Mrs. Chen, Ms. Chen, and Mrs. Guan's family members also received the post. The two female shopkeepers of the embroidery village also received the post."

Mrs. Li nodded, feeling that the female relatives Chen Xingyan invited were very reliable.

In Chen Xingyan's room, people started to prepare chrysanthemum pillows again.

I have made a few before, but they are all used by my family.

Thinking that Mrs. Li is also an official's wife after all, and she is from a famous family, and ordinary things may not catch her eyes, so she thought about getting some chrysanthemum pillows to give away.

In addition, Chen Xingyan asked Grandma Lou to find a few more boxes of chrysanthemum tea that she had prepared earlier, in case she got favored by his wife, she had to give them away.

Chen Xingyan was still thinking about how to improve the relationship between his wives, but Lu Daxiong came back with a gloomy expression.

"What's the matter? But what kind of difficult case did the inspection department encounter?"

After Lu Daxiong cleaned his hands, he threw the handkerchief out, but it fell into the arms of Calamus, which startled her, and then hurried out.

"It's not a big case. The fact that I stored some grain here somehow leaked out. A few colleagues came over today to insinuate. I heard that they wanted to buy grain from me or had other concerns."

Chen Xingyan was also a little surprised.

After all, after the first time the county magistrate Li stopped the matter of buying grain, they were very careful in what they did afterwards, and they didn't dare to reveal anything.

"Are they also members of the Inspection Department?"

"Two from the inspection department, and one from the county government."

"Are they buying food for their own families, or for their relatives?"

Lu Daxiong sneered: "If it was for my relatives, then I wouldn't be so angry."

When Chen Xingyan saw his reaction, it was bad, it hit his bottom line.

"These people actually thought that I was stockpiling grain to wait for the winter to raise the price of grain. I couldn't come here to buy grain today, so I wanted to get a share!"
