Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 366
"Your Majesty is so polite, how dare the old minister trust you, the Emperor's presence is really a blessing for you."

The British general put his posture extremely low, and hurriedly bent over and cupped his hands, extremely humble.

If it weren't for the fact that the Duke of England was smarter than the Queen Mother, at least he had done a good job on the surface, so that people couldn't see that he was very ambitious.

Ning Chen closed his eyes, put away his thoughts, and helped the British Duke himself.

It's also acting.

"Uncle is so polite. I remember that I used to come to the mansion when I was young. The crispy meatballs made by my aunt are the most delicious. At that time, I really ate half of the plate and felt that it was not enough."

Hearing these words, the Duke's wife, Mrs. Wang, hurriedly smiled and blessed her body.

"The emperor likes this dish, and the minister's wife will cook it today, and it doesn't take much time."

The British Duke also nodded, "Well, it's rare for the emperor to come here, so we discussed that we should leave after lunch, and I will order someone to prepare the banquet."

Ning Chen naturally agreed.

After all, I just want to stay in the Duke's Mansion for a long time so that I can find things.

Mrs. Wang went to cook, and Ye Yun, a female family member, had to be received by someone, so Mei, the eldest daughter-in-law, accompanied her.

Although the eldest son, Chen Xianwen, is ineffective, his wife is still a formidable person.

Even though Chen Xianwen was no longer able to claim the title, Mrs. Mei still had prestige in the mansion, and she still helped her mother-in-law Wang's housekeeper.

It is true that there are also reasons why Mei's natal family is good, but if she is not strong, she will not be able to support it.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Suzhi, the second girl who happened to get married today, came back and also happened to accompany the guests.

Chen Suzhi was the one who was arranged by the British government to enter the palace and was going to be handed over to Ning Chen.

It's a pity that the wish came to nothing, and in the end she was accused of being married to Uncle Rong Qing's second son, Liang Chengsi.

It's just that she looks a little haggard now, as if her life is not very good.

"I don't know what kind of tea the empress likes to drink. The minister's wife is good to order someone to prepare it. These snacks are all good. The empress can try it."

In the flower hall in the backyard, Mrs. Mei entertained with a smile.

Ye Yun sat down and waved his hands kindly, "Young Madam is very polite, I don't have anything special to drink, either Junshan Yinhao or Longjing is fine."

"That's a coincidence. The minister's wife just got a box of Junshan silver pennies from her mother's house a while ago, so she ordered someone to fetch it." Mei said.

Immediately, she went as a close-fitting girl.

Compared with Mei's generosity and ease, Chen Suzhi seemed much more cramped, as if she didn't want to talk.

Ye Yun narrowed her eyes slightly, and opened her mouth on her own initiative.

"I haven't seen you for many years, and the second girl is married as a woman. This dress is pretty tight. It's obvious that your husband loves you very much."

This is not a lie, the dress on Chen Suzhi's body is made of excellent silk and satin, and the fur collar is also made of rabbit fur.

Although rabbit fur is not more expensive than fox fur, this fur collar is pure white without any impurities.

Chen Suzhi, who was being called, froze for a moment before raising her head, and smiled unnaturally.

"It's rare that the empress can still remember the minister's wife. The emperor bestowed a marriage, and the husband dare not treat the minister's wife badly."

This makes sense.

Not daring to treat her badly, that is, not willing to treat her well?

Mei's eyes darkened, and she quickly opened her mouth to smooth things over.

"Your Majesty laughed at me. The second younger sister has been having trouble with her brother-in-law these two days. Between the young couple, they always talk angrily. If they say that her brother-in-law doesn't love her, the courtier's wife is the first one who doesn't believe it. The empress looks at her jewelry and clothes. Not to mention, the uppers are made of excellent materials.”

The emperor bestows a marriage, even if the life is not good, it cannot be said that it is not good, otherwise it will not refute the emperor's face.

Ming Zhaoyuan was so favored in front of the emperor, if he said something unpleasant, it would be a big deal to cause disaster to the Duke's mansion.

As soon as sister-in-law reminded her, Chen Suzhi quickly adjusted her status.

Standing up, she blissed slightly, "It's my wife's fault. I've been in a bad mood these past two days, and I didn't respond properly. Please don't blame me, my lady."

Ye Yun smiled and waved his hands, "It's not a big deal, sit down quickly, husband and wife quarrel, there is no overnight feud, it will always get better soon."

"Yes, thank you for your teaching." Chen Suzhi nodded.

At this moment, Ye Yun vaguely saw two strange red marks on the side of her neck, and some bruises.

It seems artificial, even pinched out by hand.

But it's just a glimpse, but it can't be fully judged.

Ye Yun's eyes flickered, if Chen Suzhi's life in her husband's house was not good, this might be an entry point.

I wanted to make a few more indirect remarks, but found that Mei Shi was a very shrewd woman, so it was not easy to continue asking.

So as not to scare the snake.

So it's all gossip.

Mrs. Wang made the crispy meatballs, so she came to accompany them and said a few words.

Not long after, it was lunch time, and everyone sat down in the front hall.

Ning Chen spent the whole morning talking in the British Duke's study, accompanied by his father and son.

Now that he came back, seeing the commander of the imperial army again, Lu Qingyun who came with him this time, the two first exchanged glances.

For a moment, Ning Chen had a clue in his mind.

It seems that something was discovered this time, but the location of the account book is not completely sure.

Although there is not much progress, it is also a good thing to have progress.

During a lunch, everyone at the table had different thoughts.

And Ye Yun's eyes are always silently observing Chen Suzhi's every move.

Sure enough, I found that Chen Suzhi's shoulder seemed to be injured too, and she was not very agile.

This made Ye Yun more and more sure that she was not doing well in her husband's house.

Coming out of the Duke's Mansion, Ye Yun told Ning Chen about this discovery in the carriage.

"You mean, the second girl of the Chen family may have been abused by her husband's family?"

"Look at Yue Mo was beaten. The scars don't look like they were dropped."

As Ye Yun said, he weighed the stove in his hand.

It was not very warm after being out for so long, so I simply put it aside.

This little move caught Ning Chen's eyes, so he took the initiative to hold her hand and wrap it all around.

"But as far as I know, that Liang Chengsi has a good character. When I bestowed the marriage back then, after all, I chose a good family because I cared about the Empress Dowager's face."

Uncle Rong Qing's second-in-law son is outstanding in talent, learning and appearance, and he is definitely more than enough to match Chen Suzhi, the concubine daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

"Who knows, the concubine thinks that this matter can be investigated by others. After all, Chen Suzhi and Chen Xianyi are brothers and sisters. As the emperor has seen, the Chen family's son is not good. The British Duke now values ​​Chen Xianyi as a concubine. It can't be said We can get some news out."

As Ye Yun said, she took advantage of the situation and leaned on Ning Chen's shoulder.

While muttering in a low voice, "The eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke of England is really a sperm. I have to be careful about everything I said to her for a long time, but such a smart woman married such an idiot for nothing."

"Bad mouth, that's my cousin." Ning Chen pinched the face of the woman beside him speechlessly.

Even though he said so, he picked up the person on his lap and hugged him into his arms.

Ye Yun hummed twice, rubbed her head against Ning Chen's neck, and then stopped moving.

All the way back, Ye Yun was sent to her residence first, and then Ning Chen went back, and sent someone to investigate the matter of Liang Chengsi in Uncle Rongqing's residence.
