Chapter 72
In the next few days, the atmosphere in the capital was inexplicably tense. Ever since she knew that someone was going to hurt Xu Mingchen, Lin Shuran ordered the Xu family's children not to leave the house at will.

If it had been before, Xu Minghao would have given orders regardless of orders. The folding fan promised to him by the storyteller had to be interrupted due to an unexpected incident on the Lantern Festival, and he had to go out to get the fan back. What if the storyteller ran away!
But now he is willing to listen to Lin Shuran and doesn't want to make her unhappy, so he resists staying at home.

Another reason why Lin Shuran didn't allow them to go out was that Lei Yingying sent her a message saying that Concubine Su in the palace was seriously ill, and the birthday banquet might not be able to be held. day.

At the same time, Lin Shuran had been secretly inquiring about the situation of the man behind the beating on the night of the Lantern Festival at the capital mansion and Prince Qing mansion, and definite news soon came out.

"Miss, the shopkeeper said that Prince Qing was very angry at the young prince's beating, and soon found out that the person in charge was a young master from the Chen family in Dongling, named Chen Jishun!" Lin Shuran was informed of the news from the shopkeeper of the pyrotechnic kitchen.

Dongling Chen family?Lin Shuran had heard before that in the Jin Dynasty, apart from the royal family, there were four powerful and influential gentry families, namely the Chen family in Dongling, the Liu family in Xishu, the Lin family in Beichuan, and the Ma family in Nanjiang. Most of the Chen family and Beichuan Lin family were officials in the court, while the Liu family in Xishu and the Ma family in Southern Xinjiang had more famous people from all corners of the country, and the four major families have always been good friends.

Her father, Lin Youxing, was from the direct line of the Lin family in Beichuan, and Chen Yanzhi, the prime minister, was from the Chen family in Dongling. I heard that although he came from the direct line, he was born as a concubine, but now he holds the position of prime minister. Have the right to speak.

Could it be that Xu Mingchen and the others had offended members of the Chen family before, so Chen Jishun would find someone to deal with him?Thinking of this, Lin Shuran called Xu Mingchen to him, and asked him if he had a festival with the Chen family in Dongling before.

Xu Mingchen seemed to understand why Lin Shuran asked himself this way all of a sudden. It seemed that the person behind the scenes who wanted to hurt him that night was really a member of the Chen family.

He stood silently in front of Lin Shuran, but seeing the complex expression on his face, Lin Shuran had the answer in his heart. When she asked Xu Mingchen about the conflicts between the Chen family, Xu Mingchen just shook his head silently. , I don't really want to say it.

Lin Shuran didn't make it difficult for Xu Mingchen, since he didn't want to say it, she must have his own secrets, and she didn't force him.

In the evening, when Xu Junze came back from the outside, he saw Lin Shuran sitting in the room as if waiting for him for a long time.

"It's so late, why don't you fall asleep?" Recently, the two of them are still sleeping in the same bed, but the relationship between the two is obviously closer than before, and they will chat about trivial matters before going to bed.

Although most of the time it was Lin Shuran who was talking and Xu Junze was listening, but a tacit understanding had begun to develop between the two of them, so they couldn't just stay together in embarrassment and not talk all the time.

"Husband, I have something to ask you!" During this period of time, Lin Shuran has already called Xu Junze "husband" not so awkward, it's just a title, and since everyone calls it that way, she can be regarded as doing as the Romans do.

Seeing Lin Shuran's serious face, Xu Junze walked up to her suspiciously and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Did our family have any troubles with the Chen family in Dongling? Otherwise, why would the Chen family want to hurt Brother Chen!" Lin Shuran didn't beat around the bush either. If Xu Junze had the heart to find out about the things she could find out, he would compare them. She knew it earlier.

Sure enough, Xu Junze didn't find it strange after hearing this. He sat down beside Lin Shuran and said, "You already know! Actually, Brother Chen is from the Chen family in Dongling!"

"What?!" Lin Shuran looked at Xu Junze in surprise, and seeing him nod his head again, he became even more puzzled, "Since Brother Chen is from the Chen family in Dongling, why is he a child of the Xu family?"

After being from a famous family, he changed his surname and became someone else's stepson. What happened to Xu Mingchen, and how did he become like this?Lin Shuran had more questions in his heart.

Xu Junze thought about Xu Mingchen's life experience, one day Lin Shuran will know all about it, he might as well tell her from others, he believes that Lin Shuran is sincere to Xu Mingchen's stepsons, in fact, her " Mother" is better than his "father".

"Brother Chen's original name is Chen Wei. He is the eldest grandson of the Chen family in Dongling. There are many people in the big family. His biological father is open-minded and wants to give up his pen and join the army. I met him on the battlefield. We haven't been together for a long time, but we are already brothers who live and die." Speaking of the past, Xu Junze's originally calm eyes flashed with sadness, at this moment he took off the mask that he had pretended for a long time, and he was no longer so tall. Leng Guao showed his true nature instead.

Next, in his slow and low-pitched narration, Lin Shuran seemed to see two tough-boned men struggling to climb out of the sea of ​​corpses and flames. In Weiguo, they parted from their relatives and finally buried their bones in a foreign land.

Since Xu Mingchen's biological father died in battle, those so-called family members treated their mother and son very kindly at first, but as time passed and the young Xu Mingchen grew up, family disputes could no longer tolerate their orphans and widowed mothers, and finally they were killed. He was kicked out of the Chen family, and Xu Mingchen's biological mother died of a serious illness in order to protect him. In the end, Xu Junze found Xu Mingchen and brought him back to the capital, and gave him a new identity.

"Brother Chen and I are dead brothers, and his son is my son. I hope you can always treat these children kindly!" Xu Junze is not good at expressing words, and sometimes he also knows that he may not be good at dealing with people. But the people he cares about will do his best to protect them.

"I am married to you, and your children are my children. What's more, I love these children. Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, they are mischievous and difficult to discipline, but in my eyes, each of them has their own characteristics. Shining point, teaching with heart can make a person, although I am not the mother who gave birth to them, but I will love them a lot, no matter what happens, they will have my mother to protect them in the future."

Lin Shuran didn't say these so-called "beautiful words" in front of Xu Junze, she would do what she said, and even do better than what she said.

Regardless of whether it is the Dongling Chen family or whoever wants to bully her child again, she will not sit idly by!
