Chapter 487 Respect Your Wife
"I know!" Leng Aoxing turned his face and glanced at Jin Suzhu who was blushing because of these compliments, smiled slightly, and said to Jin Suzhu. "When I go back temporarily and settle the matter, I will come back and plead guilty to your parents and grandmother!"

"Yeah!" Jin Suzhu hummed coyly.

Leng Aoxing bent down, picked up Ruan's mother from the ground, touched her acupoints, first stopped the bleeding, then tapped her Dingshen and Ya acupoints, then carried her on his shoulders, stepped on Leaving in the dark.

"Call work!" Xuan Chen stretched his waist in a disfigured manner, then turned around and entered the room, took out Shen Weilan's mink fur coat, and helped Shen Weilan put on the mink fur coat with a resentful expression on his face. "You, you don't know how to put on your clothes before going out. What if it's freezing?"

"Where is it so easy to freeze?" Shen Weilan couldn't help saying angrily when she saw that the cloak on his body was not on. "Just talk about me, don't you not wear it yourself? Why don't you go in and take it out and put it on!"

Xuan Chen grinned and ran in again. After groping on the kang for a while, he found his mink fur coat, and walked out while wearing it, "Let's go, let's go, we have nothing to do, go home!"

Back home, sitting on the heated kang, Xuan Chen held a teacup in his hand, sipping the slightly hot tea, frowning slightly, "Why do I feel like I forgot to do something?"

Shen Weilan took the quilt and made the bed on her own, and said coldly, "You forgot to go back to your own room!"

"No, daughter-in-law, I really seem to have forgotten something..." Xuan Chen had a serious expression on his face, completely ignoring the disgust on her face.

Shen Weilan glanced at him, saw him thinking with a serious expression on his face, a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, "Oops", "I remembered, you forgot to let the cook out of the cabinet!"

"I just said I forgot something..." Xuan Chen raised his hand and patted himself on the head, but said again immediately. "I think Wu Ming and the others are not so clumsy, so it's not impossible to find someone."

……

The next day, Leng Aoxing came over in person and explained the outcome of the matter to the two of them.

"Let's say that Miss Jin died in a fake death. Doctor Zhu who just came to express her condolences found out and rescued her. It's also a crime to say that. I used to have an aunt who was my father's sister. Somehow, she fell in love with your father. , did a lot of sorry things to your mother, and was sent to the family temple by the great-grandmother who was still alive at the time."

As Leng Aoxing said, he raised his eyes and glanced at Xuan Chen who was listening seriously, "Then grandma secretly sent someone to take my aunt out of the family temple, and wanted to send her back to her natal home, but unexpectedly, my aunt was robbed halfway. Let's go, I'm missing."

"Grandmother held a grudge because of this. Grandfather obeyed the will of great-grandmother and kept her under house arrest in the Buddhist hall in the mansion. She was old and deprived of power. There was only one mother Ruan by her side. She wanted to avenge her but was unable to do so. , I had no choice but to use this method to provoke me and my parents to think that it was your mother who did it, and to turn against the Xuan family, maybe we can help her avenge her!" Leng Aoxing said, sighing faintly. "I'm so sorry!"

But two times in a row, things didn't go as planned by Princess Dejun, and she was a little annoyed. Knowing that the third attack would attract people's suspicion, she still sent Mama Ruan to do something.

Ruan's mother is her companion maid, she has been very good at kung fu since she was a child, and her parents specially picked her to protect her.

Xuan Chen smiled faintly, "It's just a matter of raising one's hand. It just so happens that I have a medicine that can fake death in my hand. It can make the golden girl rest for six hours, so that I can hide the truth from Ruan's mother and let her reveal her secrets."

Shen Weilan interjected: "What about your grandmother? She has two lives in her hands. Although she didn't do it herself, she is the mastermind behind the scenes!"

Leng Aoxing clenched his back molars tightly, his face was cold and embarrassed, "She is always my real grandmother, my father's real mother, we can't kill her."

After a pause, he said again: "She is already crazy! My grandfather promised that she will not be allowed to step out of the Buddhist hall in this lifetime!"

Xuan Chen stared straight at him, "Although there are no permanent friends in this world, there are only permanent interests, but I hope that the Dejun Prince's Mansion and the Xuan family will always be united. After all, my grandmother is Your grandfather's biological sister, although you and I are more distantly related, they are still cousins!"

Leng Aoxing twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I will leave the matter of welcoming the bride to you brother in a few days!"

"No problem!" Xuan Chen readily agreed to his request. "I will definitely help you snatch the bride!"

Leng Aoxing cupped his fists at him, begged him, then got up and said: "I'm done talking, I should go too!"

"Don't tell me, you asked me to help you snatch the bride. I also have to ask for one thing. Lan'er and I plan to open an embroidery shop in the capital. The queen mother gave it a name, and it is called Jinxiu Pavilion. It will open on the eighth day of February. Take advantage of your beauty and help my shop to support the facade." Xuan Chen ordered him rudely.

Leng Aoxing reversed the dignified expression just now, his expression relaxed, his beautiful eyes glared, and he said displeasedly: "What do you mean by using my beauty? I'm not a woman!"

Xuan Chen looked indifferent, rolled his eyes and said: "If you are a woman, I will not look for you, remember, put on your most gorgeous clothes, appear in the most exciting scenes, and strive to win the female guests of Weaver Girl Embroidery Village Get them all for me!"

Leng Aoxing hurriedly shook his head when he heard the words, "No, no, that girl of the Jin family looks virtuous and virtuous, but she is actually quite violent in private. If I go out to attract bees and butterflies, I'm afraid I will be punished by her!"

Xuan Chen said contemptuously, "Are you still afraid of your wife?"

"What do you mean being afraid of your wife?" Leng Aoxing said unconvinced. "I respect my wife!"

"Don't dare to forget it. I'm looking for Brother Hai. Brother Hai has always been more handsome than you. If it wasn't for being a little younger and the charm of a man hasn't fully come out, I wouldn't need to find you at all!" Xuan Chen didn't agree. Reluctantly, he immediately decided to change candidates.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Leng Aoxing became serious instead, "Wait, I don't agree with what you said, the most beautiful man in the Canglan Dynasty, except for me, Leng Aoxing, everyone should stand aside! Especially Bai Li Hai's little boy, he can't even compare to one of the young master's fingers!"

Xuan Chen said in a cool tone: "Anyway, you are not willing to attract others, so I will find someone who is willing. Maybe, after that day, our brother Hai will become the most beautiful man in the Canglan Dynasty. You are a man who is about to get married, you should hurry up and give up your name!"

"Your grandpa, brother, I will go all out!" Leng Aoxing was not willing to give up his majestic title of "the most beautiful man in the Canglan Dynasty", he slapped the table hard, and said. "Didn't you open on the eighth day of February? Anyway, brother, my wedding date is on the eighteenth day of February, ten days later than you. On the eighth day of February, brother, I'm still single!"

"Sure, if you don't come by then, I'll hire a thousand farmers to go to your gate and shout 'Leng Aoxing's words don't count'!" Xuan Chen shamelessly threatened him.

"You have been hanging around my brother's ass since you were a child, brother, when will I not talk too much?" Leng Aoxing gave him a contemptuous look, then took out a pocket watch from his pocket, opened the cover to check the time. "That's a deal, but I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first!"

Xuan Chen and Shen Weilan sent him out of the door, seeing his snow-white and elegant figure disappearing outside the courtyard door, they couldn't help smiling at each other.

"Is it okay for you to use your brother's beauty like this?" Shen Weilan couldn't help asking.

"Is there anything good?" Xuan Chen said nonchalantly. "Brothers are just for taking advantage of?"

Shen Weilan sneered at his nonsense, turned around and went into the house, not long before the eighth day of February, and there was still a third of her embroidery left unfinished.

Fortunately, she didn't use complicated patterns, nor did she use too fine stitches, otherwise, she really couldn't embroider in such a short period of time.

……

Changping County Palace——

Holding the teacup in his hand, Bailiyao drank the "seven flower tea" specially prepared for her by the imperial physician, his lowered eyes remained motionless, as if he turned a blind eye to the elegant Sun Jiuniang sitting opposite.

Sun Jiuniang also watched her nose with her eyes, her mouth with her nose, and her heart with her mouth, sitting there very quietly.

She came to the door today by herself, and was not with her elders. At this moment, how strange is it that these two people are sitting opposite each other?

Bailiyao gently put down the teacup in his hand, raised his eyelids, took a handkerchief, dipped the corner of his lips, and then winked at Chi Nuanyue, "You go out first!"

Chi Nuanyue nodded, took a deep look at Sun Jiuniang, and walked out.

"Okay, Miss Sun, I have already sent away all the things that should and shouldn't be sent according to your instructions. If you have any big business that you want to discuss with me, please tell me!" Baili Yao's tone A little impatient, the girl asked her to send everyone away as soon as she entered the door, so that no one could hear the conversation between them.

Although she felt it was weird, she still complied. This is the Prince's Mansion of Changping County, so she is not afraid of such a little girl playing tricks. Although her martial arts is not good, it is no problem to protect her body when the guards come.

Sun Jiuniang smiled slightly, and raised her head confidently, "The business I'm talking about today is related to the future of the Prince's Mansion in Changping County, or it can be said to be money, money!"

Baili Yao said unhurriedly: "'Jubao Trading Company' has many shareholders, and there is no shortage of people who are willing to invest money in it. I don't know how many people have money and want to invest in 'Jubao Trading Company'."

"What I'm talking about is another matter. I don't think the son's fiancée will be able to support the family business of the Prince's Mansion in Changping County in the future. I also ask the princess to consider this marriage carefully. Jiuniang has the audacity to recommend herself. It is more suitable for the son, and I hope the princess will think about it!" Sun Jiuniang actually told Bailiyao directly the purpose of her visit today.

"Oh?" Bailiyao couldn't help laughing when he heard the words. "Thanks to the love of the girl, but the child is already engaged!"

"I know!" Sun Jiuniang said generously. "For a talent like Shizi, having two wives is not a big deal!"

Baili Yao raised his eyebrows high, "How embarrassing, I have heard for a long time that Miss Sun is amazingly talented, beautiful like a flower, and her family background is so prominent, we would never dare to let you be a concubine for a child! "

Sun Jiuniang's expression suddenly became a little ugly, "The princess misunderstood, I was talking about Ping Wife!"

Baili Yao chuckled, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint Miss Sun. The family precepts of the Prince's Mansion in Changping County are the first. Men are not allowed to take concubines, and even concubines are not allowed, let alone two wives."

Sun Jiuniang was stunned for a moment. Obviously, she had never heard of such family rules in the Prince's Mansion of Changping County. She couldn't help but said, "I'm here sincerely. Princess, please don't fool me!"

Baili Yao sighed quietly, lifted the quilt on her legs and got off the wooden couch, bent down to put on her shoes, but saw Sun Jiuniang immediately got up, squatted down, and helped her put on the shoes herself.

Bailiyao took a deep look at her, then went to the opposite study room, took out a small wooden box from the bookshelf, took it back, put it on the kang table, opened it, took out a red leather booklet from it, and handed it to Sun Jiuniang, "Miss Sun, you'll know when you look at it!"

Sun Jiuniang took the booklet nervously, and saw the words "Family Instructions" written on the cover, and Xuan Yu's seal was also printed on these two words.

She turned to the first page, and saw that it was written on the first page—the first article of the family motto, men from the Xuan family are not allowed to take concubines or have two wives, and those who violate it will be kicked out of the house!
She couldn't help frowning slightly, put the Xuan family's family motto in her hand on the small round table beside her, and looked up at Bailiyao, "Princess, such a request is too harsh for a man, right? "

"Harsh?" Baili Yao smiled. "I don't think such a requirement is enough. Considering the man's face, it has not been written that you are not allowed to go to the flower boat, and you are not allowed to be with girls."

The smile on Sun Jiuniang's beautiful face froze, "Is this the princess who refuses to give me a chance?"

"I can only say, thank you girl for your love for my son, but you are not destined. My prince's marriage was personally arranged by my family, and I can't change it." Although Baili Yao bluntly rejected Sun Jiuniang, he was neither soft nor hard. He kicked the ball onto Xuan Yu's body.

"Then..." Sun Jiuniang squinted her eyes, and said with a slight thought. "If I can convince that Miss Shen to allow me to enter the door, will the princess obstruct this matter?"

"Miss Sun, you and I don't talk about seniority, I just want to advise you, between a man and a woman, the relationship is the most important thing, even if you get a man, what's the use if you don't get his heart?" Li Yao couldn't help being a little annoyed by this stalking Miss Sun, but the tone of her words was still very gentle.

"At least..." Sun Jiuniang said firmly. "he's mine!"

Baili Yao smiled, "Then I can only wish the girl good luck. The only thing I can tell you is that my son can only marry one woman!"

"Thank you, Princess, for taking the time to see me, I understand!" Sun Jiuniang stood up and was about to say goodbye, but when she reached the door, she stopped suddenly, turned around and looked at Bailiyao and said. "Princess, why don't you think about it again. If you can join forces with our Sun family, I'm afraid that the business of the princess will be improved. Now the Sun family only has me as a daughter, and I think they will not treat their son-in-law badly!"

Bailiyao just pursed his lips, nodded at her with a smile, but didn't say anything.

After Sun Jiuniang left with some disappointment, Chi Nuanyue walked in and asked, "What is the ninth girl from the Sun family doing here?"

"The self-recommended pillow mat is here!" Baili Yao said lightly.

Chi Nuanyue was almost choked by a mouthful of saliva, she widened her apricot eyes, looked at Bailiyao and said, "Has she taken a fancy to our lord?"

Bailiyao rolled her eyes at her, "Ninth girl from the Sun family is so arrogant, can she take a liking to that old guy who doesn't care?"

Chi Nuanyue patted her chest with her hand, and put away the overly frightened expression on her face, "So she fell in love with Brother Chen? It's not too bad, but isn't Brother Chen already engaged? Everyone in the capital knows that, with her With her family background and good looks, she probably wouldn't want to be a concubine for Brother Chen, would she?"

"She wants to be a flat wife!" Baili Yao said with a smile. "Bring me my drawing book, I will draw two strokes!"

Chi Nuanyue took her a drawing book from the shelf, she opened the drawing book, inside was a charcoal pencil, and the outside of the charcoal pencil was wrapped in wood.

Chi Nuanyue sat on the other side of the wooden couch, twisted her body and looked at her, and said, "I said how mysterious she is, she is not allowed to stay alone, and I told you to send us all out, Aunt Yao, you won't agree right?"

Baili Yao raised her eyes and glanced at her, "How is that possible?" After a slight pause, she suddenly laughed again. "But Miss Sun Jiu has a big heart. By the way, don't tell Brother Chen and that girl secretly! If they are alert, it will be no fun!"

Baili Yao said quietly: "It's time to test that girl! If she can't pass this test, it proves that she still doesn't have Brother Chen in her heart!"

……

Xuan Chen and Shen Weilan naturally didn't know that they were being plotted against, and the two of them were getting busier every day.

"Baoxiangzhai" has reopened. After a winter of air circulation and incense, the taste of "Baoxiangzhai" is gone.

It's just that the business is not as good as before. After all, some people are still obsessed with cleanliness. Thinking of the tragic scenes that have been suffered here, they will lose their appetite!
However, there are also some who don't care, especially some scholars who are poor and want to make progress. For them, the books and meals here are good choices.

On this day, a letter was sent from the palace, saying that Xuanchen's grandmother was seriously ill, and Bailiyao planned to ask his son to accompany him to visit his second elder brother's house.

Shen Weilan didn't go, she felt that with her current status, it was inappropriate to rush to the door, so she just sent Xuan Chen back, and she stayed at home.

The screen had already been embroidered and inlaid. She had nothing to do, so she decided to cook and make some cakes by herself.

Speaking of which, she hasn't cooked for a long time.

Mrs. Fang brought her youngest daughter to help in the kitchen. Mrs. Fang's youngest daughter is named Fang Yuetong. She is only ten years old this year. He obediently sat in front of the stove and helped to light the fire.

But someone knocked on the courtyard door, followed by Du Xihua's voice, "Who are you looking for?"

A crisp female voice rang out, "Shen Weilan, does Miss Shen live here?"

Du Xihua who opened the door looked at the gorgeous girl in front of him, and didn't answer her question directly, but asked, "What are you doing?"

The servant girl seemed to think that he was talkative, so she gave him a hard look, and then said arrogantly: "We are from the Sun House, and our young lady is here to visit Miss Shen, please come out to greet her!"

"Wait!" Du Xihua slammed the door shut, then turned around and came to the kitchen with an uneasy expression on his face. "Miss, someone who claims to be Miss Sun is looking for you!"

"I heard it!" Shen Weilan replied indifferently, thinking in her heart, this young lady of the Sun Mansion is really pompous. When she came to visit her, a servant girl dared to ask her, the master, to go out to meet her. It can be seen How arrogant is he on a daily basis.

Aunt Fang frowned, "Miss, do you want to change clothes?"

Shen Weilan's clothes were stained with flour, and they were not luxurious enough, they were just the light clothes she usually wears when practicing, she was afraid that Shen Weilan would lose face in front of that Miss Sun's family.

Shen Weilan chuckled softly, "What clothes do you want to change? Anyway, no matter how you change them, they can't compare to Miss Sun's gorgeousness. That's it, Brother Xihua, please let Miss Sun come in, let her come to the kitchen !"

She didn't intend to go to the main room to entertain guests, and asked Du Xihua to lead them directly to the kitchen. She wanted to disgust the noble and glamorous Sun Jiuniang who missed other people's fiancés.

If it was in the past, if someone came to grab Xuan Chen from her, she would definitely pack Xuan Chen as a gift, and she would be grateful to him by the way, but that was the past!

After she was sure that she liked Xuan Chen, she didn't like the feeling that her fiancé was coveted by other women!

Even if Xuan Chen has a lot of problems, shameless, narcissistic, and loves to eat her tender tofu, but that is her fiancé, she naturally has the obligation and right to defend her fiancé!

When Sun Jiuniang entered the door, her noble and glamorous face suddenly wrinkled slightly. She didn't speak, but the maid beside her quit.

"Hey, how do you manage to be the master? Don't you know how to treat guests well?"

Shen Weilan stood in front of the noodle table, unhurriedly molded the snowskin mooncakes, and said, "The guests are the ones who are invited. Your lady seems to be here uninvited!"
