My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 74

Chen Yanzhi called the servants who came to the Xu family to give gifts to inquire carefully, and learned that those words were explained by the mother of the Xu family, but the expression on her face did not change much. If a woman from a Taoist family did not have the instruction of the head of the family, would she dare to say such a thing!It was Xu Junze who didn't know how to flatter.

Although she knew that the Chen family would be upset when they heard what she said, Lin Shuran did not regret it. The Chen family has a prime minister, and their Xu family also has a general. If it comes to the background power, the Xu family can't lose much .

Seeing that the 26th of the first lunar month is two days away from Concubine Su's birthday, there is only news that the concubine is seriously ill, but there is no saying that the birthday will not be held. He hired a "part-time job" - the commander of the capital guard army.

Early in the morning, a servant came to report that it was Lei Yan, the son of the Lei family, who came to see him.It wasn't until meeting Lei Yan in the front hall that Lin Shuran learned that he came to hang out with Xu Mingchen.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Xu, I will take Mingchen to play in Cuju Garden, and I will never run around!" Lei Yan assured Lin Shuran with a smile.

He was worried that Lin Shuran would not allow Xu Mingchen to go out at will because of the Lantern Festival last time, so he came to see Lin Shuran in person.

Soon, Xu Mingchen also came to the hall. Knowing Lei Yan's intention, he turned to Lin Shuran and said, "Mother, can my child go out with Brother Lei?"

"This is your own home, you can come and go freely, you can go if you want, but you must pay attention to safety when you go out, and take two more servants out!" Lin Shuran will not keep restraining Xu Mingchen and the others just because there is danger outside, but should Some sense of protection is still necessary.

"What are you afraid of in our Lei family's territory, Mingchen, let's go!" Seeing that Lin Shuran agreed, Lei Yan happily pulled Xu Mingchen up and walked out. Someone was already waiting for them at the Cuju Garden.

Lin Shuran was also happy that Xu Mingchen could make good friends. Although Lei Yan was the second wife of Lei's family, no one dared to provoke him easily in the capital because of his relationship with the Duke of Zhen.

After lunch, Lin Shuran was playing around with a few kids in the yard, when the manager of Fireworks Kitchen rushed over suddenly, saying that he had something important to report.

"Treasurer Jin, what's the matter?" Lin Shuran saw that his forehead was sweating, which showed that the matter was urgent.

The nannies also took the young masters away with interest, and the shopkeeper Jin didn't care too much, and said directly to Lin Shuran: "Master, something happened to the young master in the house!"

When Lin Shuran heard that something happened to Xu Mingchen, Lin Shuran's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened? Did someone hurt him?" Could it be that the Chen family still didn't give up?

Shopkeeper Jin hurriedly shook his head. He told Lin Shuran that just now, the staff of Fireworks Kitchen was delivering the pre-ordered cooked food to the guests. When they passed the Penglai Restaurant, they found that it was suddenly full of people. The Lord also said that many people saw it on the spot.

"How is this possible!" Lin Shuran felt ridiculous when she heard it. Not to mention that Xu Mingchen was only 13 years old, even if she hadn't spent a lot of time with this child, she knew that he was a decent and kind person. How could he do things like molesting others? things come.

At this moment, someone from outside came to report, saying that someone from Qing Palace asked Lin Shuran to go to Qing Palace immediately.

"Treasurer Jin, help me go out and find out the ins and outs of the matter. I'll go to Qing Palace first!" Lin Shuran didn't have time to think too much, she asked Xu An to go out and find out where Lei Yan and Xu Mingchen were, and then got into the carriage and arrived Qing Palace.

When she arrived at Prince Qing's mansion, she was directly invited into the backyard by the mother next to Princess Qing, and then saw Princess Qing who was full of anger in the inner hall.

"You all retreat!" As soon as Lin Shuran arrived, Princess Qing waved everyone to retreat, and did not allow anyone to come in to disturb her, then she turned to Lin Shuran and asked, "Madam Xu, do you know why I invited you over? "

Facing Princess Qing's questioning, Lin Shuran did not pretend not to understand, but said truthfully: "I heard some rumors on the way here just now, I guess there must be some misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding? Hmph!" Princess Qing's complexion became even uglier, and she directly picked up the cup and threw it on the ground, "The good son raised by your Xu family, who didn't learn well at a young age, dared to bully even the princess, how brave he is! !"

Lin Shuran raised her eyes to see the princess clearly. She wore a splendid dress and looked like a royal daughter-in-law, but the complexion between her brows and eyes was not very good, and she was a little out of breath even after speaking angrily, her eye sockets were sunken and haggard, maybe it was She put on too much makeup to cover up her sickness, making her face paler.

"Princess, don't be angry. Anger hurts the liver, and thinking hurts the spleen. Let's talk about something slowly. You are so eager to invite me over, you must not just blame my Xu family. If you have anything to say, you can just say it!" Lin Shuran said nothing. She was anxious but not flustered, Princess Qing rushed to invite her over as soon as something happened, which in itself was somewhat strange and weird.

Princess Qing was taken aback. She seldom went out because of physical discomfort, but she met Lin Shuran a few times three or four years ago. It was just that she was young and pure at that time, and she was different from the calm and confident woman in front of her. Now The real Lin Shuran looks like Concubine Yun in the palace.

Princess Qing slowly sat down on the chair again, most of her aura suddenly dissipated, and now there are not many trustworthy people around her, if even her little daughter is going to be plotted against, it's a gamble, She can't let those people succeed.

"Everyone says that Mrs. Lin has raised two good daughters who value love and righteousness, are gentle and kind. They say that since you married into Xu's family, you treated those stepsons very kindly. I don't care if it's true or not. Today, my youngest daughter regrets Qing’s reputation has been ruined——” At this point, Princess Qing’s eyes burst into hatred, and then she looked at Lin Shuran sharply, “Whether it’s being plotted by others or by accident, your Xu family must recognize it. Xia Xiqing, the daughter-in-law."

"Princess, the matter has not been found out yet. Maybe this is simply a misunderstanding. Should we clarify the truth first?" Lin Shuran heard something in Princess Qing's words, especially the sentence "being calculated by others". Today's matter is really not simple.

"What? Is the Princess of the Qing Palace not worthy of your Xu family's stepson?!" Princess Qing suddenly became emotional and angry again, and then coughed violently. She quickly took out a handkerchief to cover her lips, and Lin Shuran was also worried. Standing up and approaching, he found blood on the veil.

"Princess, let me show you first!" Lin Shuran wanted to check her pulse, but was stopped by Princess Qing.

"I'm fine!" Princess Qing took a deep breath, wiped the corners of her mouth, and forced herself to stand up. She didn't allow herself to fall down like this, but looked at Lin Shuran again and asked, "Do you agree with this marriage?"
