You are back

Chapter 72 The Chen Family Has an Old Ancestor

"Well, I'm just thinking, whether the Seventeenth Lord's trip is on the way or a special trip." Shun Ninghou looked solemn.

"How about I go to Pei's house tomorrow to find out?" Mrs. Shen suggested.Anyway, her surname was Shen, and she was close to Pei Shiqi. He went to the capital alone, and she went to the mansion to see the food and daily life. It was normal and reasonable.

"You are the elder after all, so forget it. Pei Shiqi was raised as a clan leader since he was a child. Can you find out what he said?" Marquis Shuning shook his head.

"No matter what, you're only in your early twenties, and you're young." Mrs. Shen said so, but she didn't have much confidence. The last time she saw Pei Shiqi, Pei Shiqi was only seven or eight years old, and she came here with his grandfather. Now think about his eyes at that time... Seeing him again this time, he is normal, not like those eyes when he was a child, they were dark and frighteningly bright, at first glance, they looked like a knife with a cold light...

"There's no need to talk about it." Marquis Shunning leaned back more comfortably, "Let's just keep an eye on this matter. If Pei Shiqi comes along, then that girl Yan will probably have no one to rely on after her uncle dies. Returning to the capital, or having other plans, is not a big deal, there is just one more girl in this mansion, just to add a dowry."

"Well, I think so too. I think that girl Yan is very rude, but she is well-born. She is from the Li family. I don't know if I can get evidence tomorrow." Mrs. Shen thought about meeting Li Yan today. In this situation, this girl Yan is just like Pei Shiqi. She looks ordinary, but it always makes people feel that she is not very supportive.

"It's a trivial matter to prove or not prove something." Marquis Shunning waved his hand, "Everyone who should know about the Nanyang branch knows that it is normal for an heir to return. If Pei Qiyi made a special trip to send him there, Miss Yan is back..." Marquis Shuning paused and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then Miss Yan must not be simple. The fact that the eldest daughter of our Li family is precious has been passed down from generation to generation. The old lady over there is so... Pain Ruo'er, isn't it just because I heard these words that I took heart in it, hum."

Marquis Shunning snorted somewhat disdainfully, "The second room grew up outside. Speaking of his branch, the inheritance is broken, so how much does he know? This word has not been passed down from generation to generation. But counting from our great ancestor, we are all direct descendants, and if the firstborn of any family is a daughter, she is the direct descendant."

"I haven't heard of anyone who has...the eldest daughter?" Mrs. Shen thought about which family in the Li family had a daughter as their first born in recent years.

"No, it's not there! It hasn't happened in several generations. Ruo'er is indeed the first one. I didn't expect that there will be another one, the second room..." Marquis Shunning couldn't express his emotions, "No matter which one it is, I really have to accept it." According to these words passed down from our ancestors, our Li family will make a comeback, and when the time comes, the second room will be the flagpole of the Li family, alas."

Marquis Shun Ning sighed somewhat unwillingly, "The youngest is all about putting on airs, how can he have any real skills? Forget it, let's not mention this, this young lady now has one more, and she is two months older than Ruo'er. This is a good thing, not a bad thing for the Li family or us."

"That's what the master meant... I was talking to that girl Yan today..." Mrs. Shen thought carefully, "It's the old lady's intention to ask for evidence. I'm being polite and didn't say anything bad. Then from now on..."

"Look at it." Marquis Shun Ning waved his hand, "It's hard to say what's going on now, but if we get closer, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it be that we got flour on our wet hands?"

"What the master said is that we don't take advantage of this advantage. If we don't want to take advantage of it, we can't suffer." Madam Shen has a conservative temperament. Marquis Shun Ning gave a specious hum. He still has plans, but it is not appropriate to say more now.

…………

The next morning, when the court was over, the third master, Li Changdong, walked out a little absent-mindedly.

"Uncle Wen." Chen Ruiming, the minister of Taipu Temple, waved to Li Changdong from a short distance away. Li Changdong hurriedly took a few steps forward to greet him, "Uncle Six."

"How is your mother's health recently?" Chen Ruiming and Mrs. Chen asked confusedly. Li Changdong was confused and nodded hurriedly, "My mother is in good health. Uncle Liu is worried about me."

"Mm." Chen Taipu frowned slightly and didn't let go, "Grandfather heard that your aunt was a little bit inappropriate, so he ordered you to come down to your house today to see him once or twice."

"Huh?" Li Changdong never responded, grandfather?Ancestor of the Chen family?To their house?Li Changdong was even more shocked when he realized the meaning of Chen Taipu's words.

The ancestor of the Chen family is said to be over a hundred years old, and he stopped going out of the mansion to socialize more than ten years earlier. Even the emperor and the queen mother of the year went to the Chen mansion to see him. The ancestor wanted to visit their mother in their mansion. ?Did he hear correctly?

"Uncle Six just said..." Li Changdong was so shocked and surprised that he would rather attribute it to his mishearing.

"Hurry up and go back, tell your aunt, grandpa is getting old, and don't startle people, go back quickly." Chen Taifu also looked very troubled.Last night, my grandfather suddenly confessed that he was going to Li's mansion, and he was not allowed to follow him. His shock at that moment was no less than that of Li Changdong now!
However, grandfather's temper has been consistent for decades!

All right, why are you going to the Li Mansion?Grandfather Chen Taipu was troubled. When grandfather came back, he had to inquire carefully.

Li Changdong simply galloped back in one breath. When he arrived at the door of the mansion, he remembered that no one had called the boss back. Li Changdong stood at the door of the mansion, hesitated for a moment, turned around and entered the mansion, wondering if he should tell the boss... Ask grandma first.

Mrs. Chen had just finished her morning lessons, smelling of incense and candles. She was stunned when her son said that the ancestor of the Chen family came to visit her, "You must have heard wrong, right?"

"My son thought the same way at the time! It was Mrs. Chen who said it herself. My son was afraid that he heard wrongly, so he asked me again. Mom, I was just in a hurry to come back and I haven't told the boss yet. Do you think?"

"Didn't your Sixth Uncle tell you not to make any noise? How much noise will there be if you bring the boss back? Don't think about these useless things. Hurry up and go see it again, from the gate to... Please come to the back hall to talk, front The living room is not suitable, everything must be clean, the ancestor loves to be clean, wipe it well, go quickly!"

Mrs. Chen lost her composure nervously and became confused, "Why are you still standing there stupidly? Hurry up, tea and snacks... wait for me to change my clothes..." Mrs. Chen hurriedly shouted at the dazed Mrs. Yuan, and then Hastily ordered the girl and woman, and before finishing a sentence, she hurriedly called out to Mrs. Yuan, who was hurriedly walking out, "Call Ruoer, hurry up! The ancestor loves Ruoer the most, call her here! Son, I have something to do right now, but I'm not here right now..."
