My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 112 Cui’s person
Wei Xiang felt uneasy all the way.

Recently, there were frequent rumors in the mansion that Jiang Chen was the son of his father's wife. In the past two days, he even heard several guards whispering secretly that his father intended to adopt Jiang Chen as his adopted son.

But didn't the mother and concubine say that Jiang Chen's mother and son's identity should be kept secret? They were just pawns for their father's future success, and there was nothing to be afraid of.But now seeing how his father treats Jiang Chen like his nephew, it's hard not to imagine.

After the father said before that Jiang Chen was an old friend, could that old friend be the father himself?

"No, I have to ask my mother and concubine what kind of relationship Jiang has with my father..."

Wei Xiang always felt that the rumors in the mansion were not groundless, and the attitude of his father and mother towards Mrs. Jiang over the years was also very strange.

The former is indifferent and can't hide her closeness, while the mother-in-law hates Mrs. Jiang very much, and her eyes are always filled with contempt when she mentions her.

In the past, Wei Xiang didn't care about this. After all, Jiang Chen was just a staff member of Prince Yong's Mansion. Even if his father really had some unclear relationship with the Jiang family, he could just turn a blind eye.

But if Jiang Chen becomes his father's adopted son, then he will be his "adopted brother" in name only. How can Wei Xiang, who has been the crown prince of Prince Yong for more than 20 years and has always regarded himself very highly, endure this?

The most important thing is that Wei Xiang is a little uneasy. He always feels that his father is dissatisfied with the performance of his eldest son, so he deliberately promotes Jiang Chen to dilute his prestige and power in the palace.

This made Wei Xiang feel a sense of crisis for no reason.

He quickly came to Qiushui Residence in the main courtyard, hoping to find his mother and concubine to answer his questions.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard the screams of the servants being punished.

Wei Xiang avoided the blood on the ground with a look of disgust on his face and asked the prisoner's mother standing beside him.

"Mother Ming, what's going on? Who made the mother-in-law unhappy?"

"I have met the Crown Prince. They are just some slanderous servants. They are not worthy of the princess's wrath. It is the old slave who decides to punish them without permission."

Even so, Wei Xiang was clear in her heart. Without the instruction of her mother and concubine, how could Nanny Ming dare to overstep her authority?

"What have you been busy with during the past two days, concubine?"

Aunt Ming smiled and said, "I am talking to Mrs. Shizi in the room right now, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are exchanging feelings."

Wei Xiang secretly thought that it turned out that the mother-in-law was setting rules for Cui. "Go and tell your mother and concubine that I have something important to do, please see me, and ask Mrs. Cui to avoid you."

"I understand, Your Majesty, please wait a moment."

Aunt Ming responded respectfully and immediately went into the room to report.

After a while, a tall, beautiful young woman walked out of Qiushui Residence. Her slightly indifferent face was as calm as water. She was Wei Xiang's newly married wife, Mrs. Cui.

"Husband..." When Cui saw Wei Xiang, she bowed expressionlessly, even her hair was so meticulous.

"Well! You are new to Jiangdong and don't know much about this place. If you encounter problems, you can always ask your mother and concubine for advice.

Wei Xiang smiled gently, but he was quite impatient in his heart.

This woman is beautiful, but she looks like a carefully carved wooden figure, which is really boring.

"I'll save you the trouble, my concubine. Thank you for your concern. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."

"Go." Wei Xiang saw that Mrs. Cui's face was a little haggard, so she thought for a while and said: "You must be tired after a long journey to get married to the prince's palace. You should rest well in the house for the next few days and set some rules." It’s never too late to tell you later.”

After all, the other party is the granddaughter of Old Duke Cui. If they set rules for others as soon as they enter the palace, it will appear that Prince Yong's Palace is unkind. If the matter spreads to the Cui family in the capital, it will inevitably make people feel grudge.

He married Mr. Cui to make good friends and win over the Zhenguo government, not to offend anyone.

"Thank you for your understanding, husband." Cui Shifu bowed, neither agreeing nor rejecting, turned around and left slowly, surrounded by several maids.

Just listen to what Wei Xiang says, whoever takes it seriously is a fool.

The person in charge of the inner courtyard of the palace is Princess Yong. It is Princess Yong who has the final say whether to establish rules or not. I am afraid it is not Prince Wei's turn to make the decision.What's more, there are many women in the house who are trying to trick people. Princess Yong is not easy to get along with at first sight. Ms. Cui never expected her newlywed husband to be her support. The other party's original intention to marry her was not pure.

It is better to burn two more sticks of incense if you expect Prince Yong to be the prince, and let the Buddha protect the palace of Zhenguo from decline. Only the great power of your natal family can give you the confidence to stand in Prince Yong's palace.
