My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 71
Lin Shuran looked down and found that the panicked crowd was rushing towards Dengchuan Tower like frightened wild animals.

Because Lei's family did not close the door of the building at this critical moment, but let the servants guard the entrance and exit, and let the people in in an orderly manner to escape the delay, so everyone regarded this place as a safe place, and their desire to survive made them go desperately. Come in this direction.

Even if Lin Shuran went downstairs now, she would be blocked by the crowd coming in, so what Lei Yingying said was right, she couldn't go down now at all.

"Sister Ran, I know you are worried about the children of the Xu family, but your safety is equally important now, don't worry, my elder brother and General Xu have both gone out, and there are still guards and people from the capital in this city , I believe it will be under control soon, this is the capital after all!" Lei Yingying forced Lin Shuran to sit down beside her, knowing that she cared about it and made chaos, but staying here now is the best choice.

Lin Shuran also knew that what Lei Yingying said was correct, and soon several teams appeared to maintain the chaotic order. There was also news from the teahouse that Xu Minghao and the others were all safe, so Lin Shuran didn't have to worry.

After a while, Xu Junze also sent someone to tell Lin Shuran that Xu Mingye and the others were also safe, but Xu Mingchen and Lei Yan hadn't found them yet.

"But sister, don't worry, nothing will happen if Lei Yan is with you. Don't look at his carefree and heartless appearance. In fact, that kid is smart and has high martial arts skills. The two of them must have found a safe place to hide!" Lei Yingying was not worried at all, and quickly comforted Lin Shuran.

Lin Shuran nodded, she also believed in Xu Mingchen, the child was always cautious and mature, so he would not put himself in danger.

Soon, the chaos caused by the crowding and stampede was brought under control. Xu Junze and Lei Zhanpeng led troops to control the chaos, and the other was responsible for appeasing the frightened people. This was the first time that the two cooperated, and they were very harmonious.

After the outside calmed down and the people in Dengchuanlou went out and returned home in an orderly manner, Lin Shuran also saw Xu Minghao and Xu Mingye, and seeing that they were all fine, she was truly relieved.

"Has your elder brother not come back yet?" Lin Shuran asked the children to get on the carriage first, and there was no way to continue watching the lanterns. It was getting late at this time, and she had to take these children home quickly, but Xu Mingchen didn't come back for a long time, she I am still very worried.

"Sister Ran, why don't you take the children home first, and when your boss comes back, I'll send someone to take him back, or maybe he's already home now, so go back and have a look!" Lei Yingying also felt excited. Drum, it is said that Lei Yan is not a person who doesn't know the importance, why didn't he come back with Xu Mingchen?

Lin Shuran nodded, with Lei's family and Xu Junze around, Xu Mingchen should be found soon, maybe it's like what Lei Yingying said, and Xu Mingchen may have gone home first.

However, when I went back to the mansion and asked, I found out that Xu Mingchen hadn't come back at all. Lin Shuran first comforted Xu Mingye and Xu Minghao, and then asked people to hang two more lights at the gate, and even told the guard at the gate to hurry up once Xu Mingchen came back. tell her.

Seeing that the time had passed and the fourth watch drum was beaten again, but she hadn't heard from Xu Mingchen, and even Xu Junze hadn't come back, Lin Shuran became even more anxious.

Chunxi saw that Lin Shuran was restless all night, her young lady really regarded the young masters of the Xu family as her own children, so she stayed by her side.

Fortunately, before Lin Shuran was kept waiting for too long, Xu Junze came back with Xu Mingchen. Seeing that Xu Mingchen was unharmed, a smile appeared on Lin Shuran's face.

"It's my fault for making mother worry!" Knowing that Lin Shuran had been worrying about him, Xu Mingchen was filled with guilt and uneasiness. Lin Shuran's worry and concern for him made him think of his biological mother who had passed away. The look of caring is exactly the same.

"Where did you go? Why did you come back so late?" Lin Shuran saw that their father and son's expressions were not very good, especially Xu Mingchen, who looked very tired, and his eyes seemed to be hiding something.

At this time, Xu Mingchen glanced in Xu Junze's direction, saw him nodding slightly, and then explained to Lin Shuran that he and Lei Yan had been watching the lanterns, and after the sudden commotion in the crowd, the two of them wanted to go back to Xu Mingye and the others, but were caught. The crowd was taken away in the opposite direction.

Later, when they were about to take the path back to Dengchuan Tower, they found that several masked men had packed Zhao Pei, the young prince of Qing Palace, in a sack and resisted them. Someone threw Zhao Pei into an empty alley, punched and kicked him, as if they wanted to beat him to death.

So, he and Lei Yan rushed forward to rescue Zhao Pei, and also arrested the gang of beating people and sent them to the capital city. As a result, before they could be tortured, the gang recruited them, saying that they had taken someone else work with silver.

"Those people didn't even know that the person they beat up was the young prince of Qing Palace. At that time in the yamen of the capital mansion, when they heard that it was the young prince, they were all too frightened to move. After asking again, they To be honest, the person they were going to hit was not the little prince at all, but—" Xu Mingchen stopped here, with a hurt look in his eyes.

"But who?" Lin Shuran always felt that Xu Mingchen's expression was wrong at this time.

"It's me! Because it was dark, they mistook the young prince of Qing Palace for me, because we both dressed alike tonight." Xu Mingchen replied in a low voice.

Lin Shuran felt very strange after hearing this, could it be that Xu Mingchen had offended someone before?So those people took advantage of the chaos to deal with Xu Mingchen tonight?This is not impossible, although Xu Mingchen has never been too troublesome, but in the past, these children of the Xu family did offend others openly and secretly!
"Has anyone found out who is behind the scenes?" Lin Shuran asked again.

Xu Mingchen shook his head, but he thought that both the capital city government and Qing Palace would investigate the case as soon as possible. After all, Zhao Pei, the young prince of the Qing Palace, was beaten up by those people, but for some reason, he seemed to have a premonition that he had guessed that they would kill him. Who is the person, but he has completely nothing to do with them, don't they let themselves go? !

Seeing Xu Mingchen's preoccupied look and looking tired, Lin Shuran stopped asking about the matter, and asked him to go back to his room to have a good rest.

After Xu Mingchen left, Xu Junze had already changed into court clothes. There was chaos in the city last night, and the emperor sent an order that all civil and military officials should enter the palace early this morning to discuss matters.

"I've told my servants that there will be no visitors in the mansion today, you should rest at home, I'm going to the palace!" Xu Junze left in a hurry.

Lin Shuran didn't say a word to him. The chaos last night happened so suddenly, and with the large number of people, there must have been casualties, and she didn't want to sleep. Who on earth wanted to hurt Xu Mingchen?
