Hidden golden branches

Wu'anhou Mansion has now been demoted one level due to the emperor's troubles, and has become Ping Bohou Mansion.

After the carriage took them to Pingbohou Mansion, Yu Zhu quickly jumped out of the car and knocked on the door, and someone immediately came out to greet them.

Chen Rong was helped out of the car by Cuizhu. She looked at the group of people waiting at the door, but Sun Yi was nowhere to be seen. She herself breathed a sigh of relief.

The servants in the mansion helped Zhang Xiuxi, who was in great pain, and hurried in through the side door. Butler Wu cupped his hands in front of Chen Rong and said, "My lord, Rong Xiaoxiao, please go in and report to the master."

Xu Yi, Sun Qingwu's wife and the head of the Ping Bohou Mansion, Mrs. Lin, hurried over with her two daughters-in-law.

Chen Rong looked at Mrs. Lin with complicated expressions on her face, but she didn't look worried, which made her feel a little strange.

"Mrs. Ping Bohou, Deputy Lieutenant Sun's wife was hit by my carriage today. Now she has a fetus. I have sent her to your mansion and called the doctor to see what the situation is like. Although I have to You just have to make a condition for compensation." Chen Rong's tone was calm and apologetic, and he raised his hand in greeting to Mrs. Lin of Ping Bohou who came out in a hurry.

Although Chen Rong is a junior who has not yet left the cabinet, because of her status as the county head, she does not have to be polite to the Lin family as a junior.

After the people in the Sun Mansion looked at each other, Lin came forward and invited Chen Rong into the manor to rest for a while: "The county master should come in and have a cup of tea."

Chen Rong also wanted to wait and see whether Zhang Xiuxi could save the child. He nodded and said warmly: "That's fine."

Afterwards, he followed Lin and the others into the mansion, and entered the main courtyard, He Ning Yuanli, and sat in the front hall waiting for news.

Chen Rong had no intention of saying much to the people in the Sun Mansion. He sat there without even touching the tea.

It is estimated that Zhang Xiuxi was randomly placed in some remote courtyard, but not even a sound could be heard.

In order to avoid suspicion, the man from the Sun Mansion retreated early.

At this time, the old lady in Chunhui Hall also heard the news, and with the help of two maids, she came to the front hall where Chen Rong was waiting.

Chen Rong saw that the old lady seemed much older than a few months ago. She was wearing jade eyebrows, gold lantern earrings, and a purple turban with dark patterns.

The most important thing is that the peace that he had at that time is gone from his face.

"Junior has met Mrs. Sun." Chen Rong stood up and greeted the old lady.

"You're welcome, County Master, please take a seat." The old lady looked complicated and politely asked Chen Rong to sit down and talk.

Ever since Sun Yi used his military exploits to ask the emperor to break off the engagement, the Sun family has been experiencing bad luck.

Not to mention that Sun Yi could be promoted from a seventh-rank nomadic lieutenant to a fourth-rank general Zhongwu. At least based on his military exploits and the emperor's attention to the Chen family, the fifth-rank general Dingyuan must be stable.

Given time, maybe his grandson will be the future General Zhenbei, which is not a bad idea.

This chance of winning was ruined by the unscrupulous grandson.

The good Wu'an Marquis Mansion was also downgraded one level to Ping Bohou Mansion. Not only was the old lady embarrassed to meet those old sisters with equal family backgrounds who had known each other for many years, but the daughter-in-law was also embarrassed to associate with those ladies who were familiar with her. Afraid of being laughed at in person.

The grandson's daughter-in-law, whose status and family background are superior to others, was also refunded by the grandson!

What the old lady couldn't bear was that her imperial edict was revoked by the emperor because she was implicated in her unfilial grandson.

This imperial title was an honor that the old marquis fought for for her at the border. With her imperial title, every time she went back to the palace for a banquet, which lady would not respect her?

Even the queen was very polite to her.

Being deprived of this imperial title is like taking away half of the old lady’s life!

To ask the old lady to deny her imperial edict is to beat her breasts and stamp her feet.

How could she not take all her grievances out on Zhang Xiuxi?

Not only that, his son Ping Bohou was also reprimanded by the emperor in public because of this matter. So far, Xianfu has nothing to do at home and cannot be reused by the emperor.

Eh--

I'm afraid there's no time limit for telling him to shut up and think about his mistakes. Aren’t all of these the result of that lowly woman of unknown origin?

Originally, the old lady disliked Chen Rong for being an unreserved girl, and pursued her grandson instead.

At this moment, Chen Rong is satisfied everywhere.

The nobility all over the body, red lips and white teeth are a blessing.

Take that weak and mean girl as an example, one is like the bright moon in the sky and the other is like the dust on the ground.

Eh!

My grandson is really blind!

How did Chen Rong know that the old lady could come up with so many things in her head with only so much time?

In the hall, Mrs. Sun and Sun Yi's mother, Mrs. Lin, accompanied Chen Rong and waited for the result.

Sun Yuting, who had been following Lin, couldn't talk to Chen Rong at the moment. She wanted to talk to Chen Rong, but the atmosphere and timing were not good at this time, so she could only sit there and wait. He smiled involuntarily at Chen Rong.

"The county master doesn't need to care about that woman." Without thinking, Mrs. Lin spoke first: "A woman who has never lived in the open world is not even a concubine, and the one in her belly has no name or status. Sun No one in the government approves of it."

Lin's words can be described as cool.

Chen Rong only raised his eyebrows when he heard this but did not respond.

She is just an outsider at the moment and has no right to say anything about other people's events.

Just thinking about it, Mrs. Sun really values ​​​​the most important thing about identity. Even if the child Zhang Xiuxi carries in her belly is her biological grandson, she still can't get over the identity barrier.

It can be seen how much wealthy families pay attention to their legitimate children and grandchildren.

It can be seen that without the support of her natal family who matches her Sun family, and if she is not good enough, life in her Sun family will be difficult.

Fortunately, fortunately, Sun Yi broke off the engagement.

Chen Rong felt a little glad that Sun Yi had broken off the engagement.

As soon as Mrs. Sun finished speaking, a maid came from outside and knelt down to report calmly, saying: "Old Madam, madam, then, the child is gone."

The little maid is quite smart, and she must never say that she is "young mistress" in front of the old lady and madam.

Anyone in the house who is not a fool is the one who knows how much the old lady and the master hate Furongyuan.

Otherwise, if you say the wrong thing, you may end up with your butt blossoming in the least case, or being sold out in the worst case.

Before Chen Rong could feel regretful and guilty, Sun Yi, who rushed in from outside, grabbed the innocent maid and asked sternly: "What's gone? Whose child is gone?"

The maid was so frightened by the sudden appearance of Sun Yi that she shivered and repeated tremblingly: "Yes, it's the young master...yours."

"Yi'er, you are so presumptuous." Mrs. Sun scolded her coldly: "How can I allow you to be so shameless in front of my grandmother and the county chief!"

Sun Yi turned around and saw Chen Rong sitting there, stunned for a moment.

He stepped forward, bowed to the old lady and said: "Grandma, my grandson didn't mean to do it. Please forgive me for being rude."

Chen Rong: I thought Zhang Xiuxi had fetal motility, and Sun Yiniang should be worried. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Sun Yiniang and Mrs. Lin seem to be fine.

Mrs. Lin: Hey, this is a woman of unknown origin, and the Sun family doesn’t recognize the child in her belly!

Mrs. Sun: This foxy girl made me lose my first grade title, and I haven’t even settled the accounts with her yet! It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t want the child in her belly!

Xiao Zi: The Sun family is too poor and cold. Fortunately, Rong Rong didn’t marry her.
