My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 73
Two days later, Lin Shuran received news from the capital again, saying that Chen Jishun did not admit at all that he ordered his subordinates to bribe a few thieves to beat people, but his servants did it on their own initiative. The servant had already written a confession and committed suicide in fear of sin.

"Ma'am, the Chen family seems to have obtained the understanding of the Prince of Qing's Mansion, and the capital mansion has also closed the case this morning. It is said that the old servant of the Chen family has an old grudge against Master Chen. This time, when he ran into him in the capital, he took revenge. Thinking, I didn't expect that the person he was looking for was stupid, and he called the wrong person. To express his apology, the Chen family also sent an apology gift to the General's Mansion, and now, the people from the Chen family are outside the door!" Xu An reported to Lin Shuran with a respectful face.

Lin Shuran sneered after hearing this, and if something happened, she would look for the scapegoat. She had seen too much of this kind of thing in modern times. The governor of the capital, Zhang Min, was not a foolish official, nor was the Prince of Qing, either. They would not know about this matter. It's not that simple, it's just that Chen Jishun relies on the big tree of Prime Minister Chen Yanzhi, and no one dares to offend easily.

"Chunxi, go and call the young master!" Lin Shuran didn't answer Xu An first, but called Xu Mingchen to her.

After Xu Mingchen arrived, Lin Shuran told him everything he knew and what Xu An had said. After hearing this, he remained silent, but his face was tense.

"Brother Chen, don't have any worries in your heart. If you want to ask the Chen family for an explanation, your father and I will support you. Now you are a child of my Xu family, and no one can hurt you at will!" Zhang Prince Min and Qing did not dare to easily offend the Chen family due to political interests, but she only started from the perspective of a mother, and the first thing she thought of was to protect her child and safeguard his interests.

Xu Mingchen raised his head and glanced at Lin Shuran, and saw the encouragement for him from her firm and trusting eyes. He was very moved but at the same time he understood that even the capital city and Qing Palace were unwilling to pursue this matter, and he couldn't do it for this reason. No matter how troublesome the Xu family is, after all, he didn't suffer any harm.

However, he and the Dongling Chen family will always have a settlement. Now that he is young, weak and has a family that he really wants to protect, he can't touch a rock with an egg at all. One day he will be strong enough , he will find the Chen family in person.

So, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he said to Lin Shuran: "Mother, I don't need to ask for an explanation. I have nothing to do with the Chen family, and I don't want to have anything to do with it in the future. As long as they don't take the initiative to provoke me, my son I will not provoke them either."

"You—" Lin Shuran could tell that Xu Mingchen's words were to comfort her. This child has always been the most sensible. His parents died and he was abandoned by his family. He has experienced too many miserable experiences since he was a child. This child is also very distressing. , so I wanted to protect him more, "Okay, I respect your opinion, but, Brother Chen, you have to remember that a man should live in the world, his head is above the sky, his feet are on the ground, and he should not be afraid of wind and rain. Frost, don't be afraid of hardships and obstacles, let alone some backstabbing villains, we Xu family children don't take the initiative to bully others, but if you are bullied, don't be afraid, you can scold back if you want to, beat back if you want to hit , This is the confidence that the Xu family gave you, and your father and I are your backing."

What Lin Shuran said made Xu Mingchen's heart agitated, his eye circles turned red instantly, and suddenly he knelt down on his knees, bowed deeply to Lin Shuran, and replied loudly: "Mother's teaching today, my child will definitely remember it in my heart, and I will never live forever. Dare to forget!"

"Good boy, get up quickly!" This bow and this "Mother" made the relationship between mother and child even closer.

After Lin Shuran asked Xu Mingchen to get up, he said to Xu An: "Housekeeper Xu, go and tell the Chen family that this matter has nothing to do with our General's Mansion. Man, even if this gift of apology is to be sent, it must be sent to Qing Palace. In addition, help me send a message to the Patriarch of the Chen family, and ask the Chen family to keep their eyes open when I go out. The young master identified himself as someone else, and caused ridicule by others, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the Chen family in Dongling for hundreds of years."

Xu Mingchen and Xu An were stunned for a moment when they heard this. Lin Shuran replied very bluntly. If he didn't accept the gift from the Chen family, he would not accept the apology from the Chen family. Moreover, anyone could tell that he was pretending to be the Matriarch of the Xu family. anger".

"Mother, isn't it inappropriate to go back like this?" Xu Mingchen didn't want to cause the Xu family and the Chen family to fight against each other because of his own affairs. No one knew that the prime minister, Chen Yanzhi, held grudges the most, and it was not a good thing. Chen Jishun was his grandson.

"Why? Are you being too polite?" Lin Shuran asked with a puzzled expression on purpose.

Xu Mingchen quickly shook his head. At first, he felt that Lin Shuran, the daughter of the Taifu's family, was too weak and gentle as the head mother of the thirteen stepchildren of the Xu family. "Actually, he is best at overcoming toughness with softness, and he is probably a ruthless character inside, he seems to be less fearful than his father Xu Junze.

Then Xu An relayed what Lin Shuran had said to the person who gave the gift to the Chen family. Seeing that the Xu family did not accept the gift, the Chen family had no choice but to return in a huff.

"The Xu family is so ignorant that they don't give you any face at all!" Chen Jishun, who was temporarily staying in the prime minister's mansion, heard that the person who went to the Xu family to give gifts had returned, and that the Xu family confiscated the apologetic gift, so he said angrily. I found the prime minister Chen Yanzhi who had just returned home from court and filed a complaint.

"What's going on?!" Chen Yanyi, who had not changed his court clothes, sat on the chair with a majestic face. His face was thin and mean, with a high nose bridge and slender eyebrows, giving people the feeling that he was not easy to get close to. Especially that pair of eagle-like and wolf-like eyes makes people inexplicably terrified.

"It's not that Chen Wei. Now that he is the stepson of a great general, he has forgotten who his ancestor is. You asked me to send someone to the Xu family to give gifts, but they didn't accept them. Keep your eyes bright so that you won't be ridiculed by others and tarnish your family's reputation." Chen Jishun's small eyes glowed, he loved to bully Chen Wei since he was a child, now seeing that he is still alive and well, he feels uncomfortable.

"Xu Junze said that?!" Chen Yanzhi's face became gloomy again. In court, Xu Junze loved to challenge him, and won several battles by relying on his close relationship with the empress dowager and the emperor, and he was too defiant.

"It's not him, who else thinks that he is a great general!" Chen Jishun didn't care who said it, anyway, he didn't like the one who was protecting Chen Wei.

On the contrary, Chen Yanzhi was a little uncertain. Xu Junze was in the palace like him, so was it Xu Mingchen who had changed his name or clan or Xu Junze's new wife who said this?
