His Royal Highness Duan Wang peeked at me in the study again

Chapter 18

In front of Su Guogong's mansion, except for the day of housewarming, it has never been so lively.

As soon as he left the palace, he saw a group of people gathered under the lantern in front of his door, noisy and shouting.

This is the second time that Su Fufu has faced such a mess of housework, except for the trifles of her cousin.

She was obviously at a loss, she frowned slightly and followed the crowd.

"In the final analysis, this matter is our family matter. No matter how good you are with Zhixu, you are still an outsider. You can't bully my old body just by relying on your title of second-rank imperial order."

In the crowd, the old lady Bai with black hair mixed with some white hair, with her slightly fat body, stared at Li Xiaoli and spoke bluntly.

There were quite a few female relatives beside her, and they were chattering about Li Xiaoli meddling in her own business, why your family had a son, but the Chen family lost their incense, and they didn't hurt their backs when they stood and talked, and so on.

Li Xiaoli raised her chin slightly, "Old Madam Chen, when you brought Mrs. Chen to ask for marriage, you promised not to take concubines. Why did you pretend that you didn't say that after more than ten years?"

"At this time and at that time, if Zhixu can give birth to a son for my Chen family, I will naturally not allow my son to take a concubine. But now she can't give birth, just such a dry girl. He is an important minister in the court and has no son. , not to mention being laughed at, who will take care of him when he is old?"

Chen Zhenzhen blushed angrily, and said: "Grandmother, since you married into the Chen family, you have been taken care of by your great-grandmother. She added three concubines to your great-grandfather's house. You lived a life of desperation and intrigue. So you I can't see that my mother's place is clean, and I want my mother to suffer. So since my mother gave birth to me, you have nothing to come to the door to urge her, which made her confinement difficult. Later, when she became pregnant again, you invited the doctor I came to check my pulse and told my mother to have an abortion. My mother refused, so you came to the door again and again. In the end, because my mother couldn’t eat or sleep well all day, the child died within two months. Then you again Start urging..."

"Grandma is concerned. If you are a man, is grandma so?"

As she said that, she turned to look at Li Xiaoli, "Mrs. Su, let Zhixu come out quickly. What's the matter with staying at other people's house at night?"

Li Xiaoli raised the corners of her lower lips and said, "Zhixu is my closest boudoir. Now that the Wang family's aunt has passed away, her eldest brother just went to Jiangxi to become an official. Here... Su Guogong's mansion is her natal family, and I, Li Xiaoli, are her." My natal sister, she can stay as long as she wants. And you, old lady, are so anxious to let her go back. To put it bluntly, aren’t you afraid that Mr. Chen, who will return to Beijing tomorrow, will know about this? Neither of them and the husband and wife have negotiated anything, and you It's done. It's disturbing the house, so I want to see how Mr. Chen will make a decision when he comes back."

"Why does she talk like that?"

"That's right, she was the one who made the Chen family mess up."

All the women were chattering, not far away Chen Zhi said a few words to a man, then walked to Zhao Yuge's side and whispered something in his ear.

He nodded, and saw two carriages coming up Bingdi Street.

A few men got out of the car, they seemed to be the son-in-law and nephew of the old lady.

The middle-sized man in the front is Bai's second son-in-law. He strode over, looked at Li Xiaoli with a frown, and said to Bai: "Mother, what are you talking about with her, go in and bring someone." The man yelled: "Don't be dazed, go in and invite your sister-in-law out."

Everyone rushed forward when they heard the words, and Su Fufu, who was standing by the side, wanted to go up and stop her, but Zhao Yuge was two steps ahead of her, and stepped forward to kick the leading man in the chest, kicking him into the crowd rushing up.

"Oh..." The Chen family suddenly shouted and became a mess.

When the kicked man was helped up by everyone, he looked at Zhao Yuge while covering his chest and asked, "Which family are you from?"

Chen Zhi led people around to defend, explored the water and said, "This is His Royal Highness Duan Wang."

Everyone was stunned, looking left and right, wondering why Zhao Yuge would get involved in the affairs of Duke Su's mansion?

The man who was kicked stopped furiously, turned his eyes down and said humblely: "I have met His Royal Highness Duan Wang in the construction department of the Ministry of Works to serve Liu Kaiyuan."

When Zhao Yuge heard the name, he turned his head to look at Chen Zhi and frowned secretly, and then said to Liu Kaiyuan: "Liu Shizao, you have taken a good look at the four characters on the plaque, Su Guogong's mansion. Beheaded. You can't just rely on Mr. Chen and Su Guogong being close friends, so you can be presumptuous... Mrs. Su is already polite enough to you."

Liu Kaiyuan smiled awkwardly, "Yes, yes, we juniors just don't want to see the old lady worry. Besides, we are doing this for the good of the Chen family."

"I believe what Liu Shizao said, but for the sake of the Chen family, I should sit down and discuss it slowly." He raised the corners of his lips, "Just now this king was in a hurry and accidentally hurt Liu Shizao, so please let me know." Liu Shizao went to the mansion to drink a cup of tea as a token of apology."

After speaking, he very politely made a gesture of invitation.

Liu Kaiyuan is a little waiter, and the prince is so kind to invite him, he feels a little flustered.

He looked around for a moment, and said to Bai Shi: "Mother, what the lord said makes sense. It's already late today, so let's go back! Come over tomorrow, tomorrow morning to chat."

After explaining, he left with Zhao Yuge.

Bai looked at the sky and said, "Madam Su, let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

Everyone left right there, and Su Fufu turned her head to look at Zhao Yuge who was about to enter the palace, feeling at ease in her heart.

……

Stepping into the Yundian, Zhao Yuge, who was walking in front, raised his hand, and Chen Zhi led someone to press Liu Kaiyuan to the ground.

"Hey, my lord, aren't you here for tea? What are you doing?"

Zhao Yuge sat down at the tea table by himself, straightened his cuffs, looked up at him, and said, "Where is the tea in Duanwang Mansion so delicious?"

After finishing speaking, he took the wooden box handed over by Chen Zhi, threw the broken arrow in front of his eyes, and asked, "Do you know him?"

Liu Kaiyuan's eyes tightened, and he shook his head in a panic, "I don't know me, I don't know me. The arrows of our construction department are all marked. This... I'm afraid it was made in a private workshop."

"Don't worry, this king has no grievances or enmities with you. You just need to clarify where these arrows went. As for your use of public affairs for personal gain...it has nothing to do with me."

Liu Kaiyuan still shook his head like a rattle.

Zhao Yuge became a little impatient, Tanshui handed tea to the side, he picked it up, looked at Liu Kaiyuan's dark eyes, and said, "Before this cup of tea was set down, you told me to invite you for this cup of tea. Don't say it." ...and sprinkle it on your grave tonight."

Chen Zhi who was at the side swished his sword and threw it at Liu Kaiyuan's neck.

The cold sharp blade made Liu Kaiyuan tremble in fright. He frowned and looked at Zhao Yuge's falling teacup, gritted his teeth and said, "I sent it to Luoshan North, but I don't know who wants it. They Just let me put it in the cave three miles north of Luoshan Mountain as ordered."
