Daughter's favorite concubine: Don't come here, the black-bellied prince

Chapter 184 Seizing Power
In the previous life, also half a year later, Shen Ji returned triumphantly and was promoted to General of Hussars, and his power rose to a higher level.

Moreover, Shen Ji also brought back the proton—Chu Mingxuan, the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who was later the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Chu Mingxuan...

Years later, when the people of Great Zhou enshrined their emperor Chu Mingxuan as a legend, only Xinmeng knew what kind of humiliation and near-death he had experienced when he was hostage by the great merchant.

The lower you fall, the higher you stand when you get up.

Such a person has a tenacious soul and an indomitable spirit.

Therefore, Xinmeng admired him very much in her heart.

It was also because of this that when Shangdu was under siege, she went to the Dazhou military camp as a noble queen, had a candlelit night chat with Chu Mingxuan, and finally persuaded him to retreat.

What Xinmeng said was very certain, so the old lady had no doubts.Hearing that her son and grandson were safe, the old lady had a sincere smile on her face.

This time, without waiting for the old lady to return to the topic of not returning all night, Xinmeng took the initiative to "confess": "After inquiring about my father and brother, it was already dark, so Xinmeng hurried, but I still couldn't get in." I entered the city before the city gate was closed, so I had to find a farmhouse to rest for the night."

Originally, she planned to say that she was going to the Zhuangzi, but when she thought about it, Aunt Bai and Shen Yunluo were in the Zhuangzi.The two mothers and daughters hoped that she would be unlucky, and they would definitely not testify for her.

In order to prevent the old lady from going to Aunt Bai and Shen Yunluo for verification, Xinmeng simply made a nonsense about a farmer.

In fact, as the eldest lady of the general's mansion, it is not appropriate to spend the night at the farmer's house.But the old lady didn't seem to intend to delve into this issue.

"Xinmeng, don't blame me for being careless. You haven't returned all night, and none of the servants in Fuyunyuan know your whereabouts." Three long and two short, how do you want me to explain to your father?"

The old lady's words were really skillful, she clearly said that the maids of Fuyun Courtyard didn't do their duty, and didn't even know where the master had gone, but she was actually blaming Xinmeng for not reporting to her grandmother when she went out.

Xinmeng sneered in her heart, after all, the old lady wanted to hold the real power and be the master of the house.

"The granddaughter originally thought that she would just go out for a while and come back as soon as she heard the news, so as to surprise her grandmother. If she had told her grandmother in advance, she would definitely worry her. It was my granddaughter who was negligent, so I am here to apologize to my grandmother." Before the old lady could speak, Xinmeng's voice changed, "As for the maidservants in Fuyun Courtyard, they are just servants. There is no reason in the General's Mansion that the master should report his actions to others."

The old lady's face froze, and her heart panicked.There was something in Xinmeng's words, how could she, an old man who had lived for decades, not understand.

The meaning of Xinmeng's words is nothing more than that the person in charge of Zhongfu does not need to account for other people's actions.Even an old lady like her has no right to interfere.

Subconsciously picked up the cold tea, rubbed the pattern on the wall of the cup with rough fingers, and at the same time squinted her eyes for a moment, the old lady became more determined to seize power.

Instead of being an old matriarch who has been confessed, it is better to firmly hold the real power of the general's mansion in his hands and let everyone obey his orders.

"Xinmeng, after all, you are a woman who has not left the court. You should have lived leisurely in the boudoir with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but now because your mother is pregnant, you have to learn to be a housekeeper in advance, and you are so busy. troubled you."
