reborn princess

Chapter 455
"I can't say it's the cause of death. I just think that the two ladies died strangely, so I want to go to the Duke of Lu's mansion to have a look. By the way, I can find out about the living habits of the fifth lady in the Duke of Lu's mansion, and see if there is anything in it. Omissions." Xuan Chen explained. "Besides, it's just at the end of the year, and it's the time when various governments communicate with each other. It won't be suspicious to check at this time."

All of a sudden, Miao Kexin came out and said that the washing water was ready.

Xuan Chen went into the clean room to wash his face, drank the ginger tea Miao Kexin brought, and then went to the practice room with Shen Weilan, practiced martial arts for a while, and it was dawn.

The two accompanied Xuan Yu and his wife for breakfast, Shen Weilan and her future mother-in-law disliked each other as usual, then went out to Duke Lu's mansion.

Of course, gifts are necessary, but Changping County Prince's Mansion has already given New Year's gifts to Lu Guogong's mansion, so Xuan Chen just asked people to prepare some at will, and then went to give gifts to his aunt in his own name.

As soon as Xuanzheng heard that her natal nephew was coming, she immediately sent someone to take him directly to her room. They are relatives, so they didn't shy away from it.

After giving Xuanzheng a gift, Xuan Chen began to pour ecstasy soup on the eldest aunt, with a faint smile on his handsome and extraordinary face, "I have wanted to see my eldest aunt for a long time, but when I came back, I was full of trivial matters. Get away, and please don't blame the eldest aunt!"

Xuanzheng held his nephew's hand, his eyes were red, "Your father is also cruel, what's the matter, he threw you to the border gate, how can you stand such a cold place? Come back this time, Won't you leave?"

Xuan Chen said with a smile: "Nephew still wants to practice for a few years, learn more things, and be successful in the future, so he can support aunt!"

Although his aunt is married well, her parents-in-law are very fond of her, and her husband respects her very much, but because her husband is the youngest son, he does not become a noble in the Duke of Lu's mansion.

Lu Guogong has five sons in total, and her husband has four older brothers, so she can only be a leisurely wife, ignoring everything on weekdays, and can only obey the concubine in everything.

When there are many people, there will be more right and wrong, and life in the Duke's Mansion is not so comfortable.

Fortunately, her natal family is rich, and the elder sister-in-law has always been generous to her, and the annual rituals have given her enough face. Only then did she get along like a fish in water in the Duke's mansion, and won the hearts of her in-laws and husband.

But it was a different situation between the sisters-in-law. The sisters-in-law didn't tear each other apart, but they were fighting to the death in secret.

Hearing what his nephew said at this time, Xuanzheng couldn't help being even more excited, "Good boy, my aunt didn't hurt you for nothing, sit down!"

As Xuanzheng said, he dragged Xuanchen to sit on the wooden couch with her, squinting his eyes and looking at him again and again.

Xuan Chen was also generous, letting his aunt look at him.

"There were a lot of people at the coming-of-age ceremony that day, and I didn't have time to take a closer look at our brother Chen. Looking at it now, he seems to be more handsome than your father when he was young."

"Mum, if you say that, you won't be afraid that my brothers and I will be sad?" The one who spoke was a young man who had just walked in from the outside. This young man was about eleven or twelve years old. At a young age, he was wearing an ice blue cotton shirt and a sable cloak, and a pair of bright eyes shone with a hint of wisdom.

Behind him, followed by two children younger than him, a girl about seven years old, and another boy about five years old.

As he walked, he said: "After listening to mother's words, my brother and I will think that we are not as good-looking as our cousin, and we will feel ashamed when we turn around, and we dare not go out to meet people, what should we do?"

"This child, still jealous of your cousin?" Xuanzheng glared at his son, and then said to the three children. "Hurry up and salute your cousin and sister Shen!"

Lu Shijie tilted his head and looked at Shen Weilan, with a look of unwillingness, "I don't know she is older than me, how does mother know that this must be my sister? Maybe it's my sister?"

Shen Weilan couldn't help smiling, feeling that this kid's temperament was really similar to Xuan Chen's.

Speaking of the past life, there are a few cronies around Xuan Chen, except for those from Leng Aoxing and Baili's family, this is Lu Shijie.

This Lu Shijie and Xuan Chen are three points alike in appearance, the same personable, the same bad-hearted, and the same rare girl.

Xuanzheng laughed and said, "I'm making you laugh, I'm spoiled by this kid, he doesn't matter how big or small he is."

As he spoke, he glared, "You can yell if you want, how can there be so much nonsense? Can you just tell you the horoscope of the girl? You want to be punished for writing big characters again, right?"

Lu Shijie discriminated unconvinced: "My mother has always taught my son that there is an order between the elders and the younger, and there is a difference between the concubine and the concubines. Since the elders and the younger are ordered, naturally the older one should be the elder brother and the younger one should be the younger sister. If it's the other way around If you bark indiscriminately, isn’t it a mess?”

Shen Weilan smiled generously: "I am a snake, and my birthday is in November!"

"Let's see!" Lu Shijie said excitedly. "My birthday is in July! I'm older than her! I'm the older brother!"

"You're the only one who has too many things!" Xuanzheng scolded with a grin. "Then I met your sister Shen!"

Only then did Lu Shijie smile and cup his fists at Shen Weilan, "Sister Shen, Xiaosheng is being polite!"

Xuanzheng spat at him, "It's not serious in front of your cousin, and I'm not afraid of your cousin beating you!"

Lu Shijie didn't take it seriously either, he just smiled all the way.

But Shen Weilan took off a coral bead string from her wrist and handed it to Xuanzheng's daughter, "I came in a hurry, and I didn't prepare any gifts for my sister. Let's play with this bead string!"

Lu Shixue hurriedly raised his eyes to look at his mother, Xuanzheng smiled and said, "Your elder sister Shen gave it to you, take it!"

Only then did Lu Shixue bend his knees to thank Shen Weilan, "Thank you, Sister Shen!"

Shen Weilan took out a purse from her handbag again, and in the purse was a golden locket with a pen ingot. She went out with Xuan Chen to visit relatives today, so naturally she had to bring some rewards, but she just came to the capital, and her men also There was nothing, so I had to prepare purses temporarily, and I still asked Miao Kexin for these few purses.

In each purse, she stuffed a golden locket with a pen ingot.

She stuffed the purse to Xuanzheng's youngest son, "This is for my brother!"

Xuanzheng's youngest son was named Lu Shijun, and with the nanny by his side, she thanked her with a smile and took it for him.

Xuanzheng looked at it, his eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his lips, secretly thinking that this girl is a generous and sensible girl.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Madam!" Xuanzheng stood up, "After seeing Madam, let's talk again."

Xuan Chen agreed, and gave Shen Weilan a wink, Shen Weilan came over to help Xuanzheng's arm, and followed her to the main courtyard.

Mrs. Lu Guogong is a very rich-looking old lady, she is not tall, and she smiled before making a sound, making people look very kind.

When everyone entered the room, Mrs. Lu Guogong was leaning on the wooden couch with her eyes closed, and a well-dressed young lady was sitting beside her with her body twisted, holding two small fists, gently Help her beat her legs.

When there was a servant girl outside the door to help lift the curtain, she specially shouted, "Fifth Grandma is here!"

Mrs. Lu Guogong opened her eyes, looked up, saw Xuan Chen behind Xuan Zheng, raised her brows slightly, and said, "Yu'er, rest!"

"Yes!" Lu Shiyu, who was beating his grandmother's legs, stood up and retreated to the side of the couch to stand.

Lu Shiyu is the daughter of Lu Guogong's third wife. She is just 15 years old this year, just like a flower.

Shen Weilan caught a glimpse of her as soon as she entered the door, and couldn't help narrowing her eyes slightly. Speaking of which, there are acquaintances everywhere in this city, and she also recognizes Lu Shiyu as an example.

Speaking of which, Lu Shiyu has some blood relationship with her. In terms of seniority, Lu Shiyu has to call her aunt, because this Lu Shiyu's mother is her eldest sister, the eldest daughter of Mrs. Wen Er.

But in the previous life, this Miss Lu never took her seriously. On the contrary, she had a soft spot for Xuan Chen.

As she thought about it, she turned her face and glanced at Xuan Chen who was walking beside her without any trace, feeling dark in her heart, although this kid is not as good as Leng Aoxing's monster, but he is not far away.

Leng Aoxing relied on his face, while he relied on his identity and family money.

Seeing Xuan Chen, Lu Shiyu's eyes straightened a little immediately, and he stared straight at him. Then, he raised the corners of his lips and smiled sweetly.

Xuan Chen just glanced at it lightly, then stopped, cupped his fists and bowed, and saluted Lu Guogong's wife, "I've seen you, madam!"

"Grandmother!" Lu Shijun hurriedly ran to Mrs. Guogong's side, then tore off a small purse from his waist, pulled it open, took out a pine nut candy from it, and held it up high as if offering a treasure. rise. "Grandma eats candy!"

"Oh, my sweetheart, I know how to be filial to my grandmother!" Mrs. Lu Guogong smiled and hugged Lu Shijun into her arms, holding the pine nut candy with her mouth open. "It's so sweet!"

Lu Shijun laughed happily, and then said childishly: "Mother said, you can only eat one a day, or your teeth will be broken!"

"Okay! Jun'er is obedient, and grandma is also obedient!" Mrs. Lu Guogong talked to her grandson in a pleasant manner, and she didn't notice it at all. Lu Shiyu, who was standing by the side, glanced at her indiscriminately.

However, Shen Weilan had a full view of Lu Shiyu's obviously dissatisfied eyes, and couldn't help laughing secretly in her heart. Grandma can't get angry when she loves any grandchildren, even if Lu Shiyu is dissatisfied, it doesn't matter.

Shen Weilan and Xuanzheng also saluted Mrs. Lu Guogong with a smile, and Xuanzheng said: "Brother Chen came to see me today, and I specially brought him to visit your old man."

Lu Shijie moved his mouth sweetly, "Grandmother is not allowed to see that Cousin Chen is handsome, so she can't like me in a partial way!"

Mrs. Lu Guogong laughed loudly, looked at him lovingly and said: "Okay, you little monkey, you are still jealous of your cousin, when did grandma not like you?"

Lu Shijie said with a smile: "Of course, grandma doesn't dislike me, I just told grandma in vain."

"Sit down, sit down!" Mrs. Lu Guogong laughed, and greeted Xuan Chen and Shen Weilan to sit down, then looked at Shen Weilan carefully, feeling a little regretful in her heart, Xuan Chen got engaged too early, and her granddaughter didn't opportunity.
