Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 257 Mother and Son Showdown

"What? Is it so big? This, this is too big?" Shaoshang said in surprise

"Haha, madam, don't be too excited. Be careful of fetal contractions. I'm actually here today to tell you the good news. Also, I probably won't be able to see you this month."

"My new official took office, and I offended my superior before, so I guess he won't be too cooperative with me during the handover. I'll probably be very busy during this time." Ling Buhuo said

"It's okay. It's normal for a husband to be busy. You should be busy with yours. I'm fine here. No one dares to make me uncomfortable when you're here."

"You are already such a big official now, why should I wait for you to be so powerful?" Shaoshang said.

"Hahaha, madam, you are so interesting. Okay, I'll leave first. You must pay attention to yourself. If anything happens, let Fu Deng inform me immediately." Ling Buhuo said

"Okay, okay, I know husband, you'd better leave quickly. I can't help but be happy when you are here. And if you are here, how can my parents come?"

"I'm still waiting for them to come. Why don't I show off to Mrs. Qing?" Shaoshang said.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, then I won't delay you, madam, let's go." Ling Buhuo said

After saying that, he stood up and left directly. Shaoshang looked at his husband's leaving figure with a bright smile on his face. After all, such a good husband is not easy to find.

After all, he was such a high-ranking official, and there were only a few people in the capital whose back house was so clean. He was still very happy about this.

At this time, Ling Buhuo naturally didn't know his wife's little thoughts. Was he chatting with his father-in-law and mother-in-law at this time? The atmosphere was very depressing and awkward.

"Taishan, mother-in-law, I just took office and have a lot of things to do, so I guess I won't be able to visit Shao Shang in the next period of time, so I have to ask the elders." Ling Buhuo said

"Ah, it doesn't matter. It's too unreasonable for Zichen to say this. Niao Niao is our daughter. We should take good care of her. You are in a high position now and have great responsibilities. You can't be careless." Cheng Shidao

"Yes, remember your father-in-law's teachings, then my son-in-law will leave first." Ling Buhuo said

After hearing this, the couple sent the man directly to the door and watched him get into the carriage before returning home.

"Madam, Niao Niao is probably very happy now." Cheng Shi said with a smile.

"Yes, she is happy, and it will be harder to control her in the future. Now that she is the dignified wife of Tingwei, I dare not say anything about her," Xiao Yuanzhen said.

After hearing this, Cheng Shi immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he did not dare to say a word at this time. When Xiao Yuanzhen saw that his husband had stopped talking, he immediately understood what was going on.

But she didn't expose it. After all, her current mood was indeed a bit strange. In fact, from her heart, she was still very happy for her daughter.

But while she was happy, she was also worried, so she felt very conflicted at this time. The final result was that Shaoshang was disappointed because they didn't come to see him at all.

At this time, Ling Buhuo had already returned to his home, but he went out soon because someone from the Chengyang Marquis Mansion came and asked him to go back.

After hearing this, Ling Buhuo did not delay, but went directly in the carriage. When he arrived, he found something unusual. His cheap father actually came out to greet him.

This surprised him a little, but he soon figured it out. With his current status, he was indeed the one welcomed by his father. Who made him feel guilty?

Ling Buhuo performed a show of fatherly kindness and sonly filial piety in front of the mansion, which satisfied Ling Yi's vanity. After entering the mansion, the father and son went directly to the study.

"Son, you are really good this time. You did not disappoint your father." Ling Yi said

"Father, I am actually nothing. I am not as powerful as my elder brother." Ling Buhuo said with a smile.

"Hey, don't compare with Zi Sheng. He is not something you can compare with. After all, he has the blood of the Huo family. He is very special in His Majesty's heart and cannot be replaced by anyone."

"Besides, he is your brother and you are brothers. What are you comparing to? To compare with nature is also to compare with others? So don't belittle yourself too much."

"By the way, Zichen, how is your eldest brother's recent case investigation going? Is there any progress? Does your investigation this time have anything to do with his case?" Ling Yi said

"Father, there is some relationship, but not much. My eldest brother's side is said to be making good progress, but it will take some time." Ling Buhuo said.

"Really? Hey, I don't know when the truth of the case back then will be revealed. Zi Sheng has been weighed down by the events of that year over the past few years."

"I hope he can get a good result this time. Forget it, let's not talk about him. Let's talk about you. Where do you plan to start the next errand?" Ling Yi said

"Father, I don't think this will go well this time. I will be very busy next time. I offended Mr. Yang when I was running errands this time. He will probably give me a stumbling block." Ling Buhuo said.

"Hey, speaking of this, I have always wanted to tell you that what you did this time is indeed a bit too much, and the government and the public have been talking about it."

"So you have to be careful next time. There will probably be more than one wave of people who cause trouble for you and those who don't like you. You should be prepared in advance." Ling Yi reminded

"Father, don't worry. My son knows this well. In fact, my son has already prepared for this. There are only so many positions among the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers. If my son comes up, others will naturally not be able to come up?"

"It's normal for them to cause trouble for me, but I've been working in Tingwei's Mansion for so long, and I've actually figured out the secrets inside, so there's nothing to panic about."

"The soldiers are just here to cover up the water and the earth. Besides, my son is not made of clay. The Tingwei Mansion is in hand. If anyone dares to provoke me, I will turn his back on him."

"I want to see who will be unlucky first!" Ling Buhuo said in a deep voice.

"Okay, as long as you are prepared in your mind, then I can rest assured. Okay, we don't have a short time to talk. You can go see your mother." Ling Yi said

After hearing this, Ling Buhuo naturally bowed directly and then exited his father's study.

When he came to his mother's room, Mrs. Chunyu had already prepared food. When she saw him coming, she stood up and said, "My son is back. Come here and eat something you like."

After hearing this, Ling Buhuo smiled and nodded, then walked over and sat down directly, picked it up and ate it without any ceremony. When Chun Yu saw this, the smile on his face became even bigger.

Then he kept picking up food for Ling Buhuo, about two quarters of an hour later. Ling Buhuo put down his chopsticks.

"Zichen, are you full? Do you want some more?" Chunyu asked.

"No need, mother, I'm full. I really can't eat anymore." Ling Buhuo said

After hearing this, Mrs. Chunyu nodded, and then said, "My son, since Niao Niao became pregnant, your house has been deserted. How about finding some women? How many concubines can you take?"

"No need, mother. I have already promised my wife that I will never take a concubine in this life. If I do again, I have no intention of taking a concubine, so mother, you don't have to worry." Ling Buhuo said

"Well, well, you are about to be a father now, so I won't say anything more. Just make up your own mind." Chunyu said, looking at the worry in Chunyu's eyes, Ling Buhuo's heart He was very entangled, but he didn't hesitate for long and said directly, "Mom, I have something to ask you."

"Oh? You can just say no if you want to ask me anything. Why are you so serious all of a sudden?" said Chunyu.

"Mother, was my father involved in the Gucheng case? What role did you play in it? Why did my father suddenly agree to marry you?" Ling Buhuo said directly.

"What? Zichen, what are you talking about again? You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing." After hearing this, Mrs. Chunyu immediately became anxious and hurriedly persuaded her.

"Mother, your expression has told me the answer. In fact, my eldest brother has almost found it, but I am lucky to be one step ahead of him."

"So mother, what was the truth back then? If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to tell me, but you must tell me why you married your father."

"Mother, if you believe your son, please tell me whether you are in it or not, and how involved you are?" Ling Buhuo said directly.

"Son, you, you really don't want to ask, just pretend you don't know about this matter," said Chunyu.

"Mother, how can you pretend that I don't know about such a big thing? You don't know Ling Buyi's temper. He really dares to kill people."

"I don't know how much father is involved, but I know one thing. If mother is among them, he will definitely kill you!" Ling Buhuo said.

"I, I, I was not involved in that incident back then. I just got some evidence, that's all." Chunyu said.

"Evidence? I understand. You relied on these so-called evidences to marry your father, right? He had to marry you, right?" Ling Buhuo said.

"Yes, it is indeed the case. I actually didn't think much about it at the time. At first, I just thought that I could marry him and live a good life. Who knew what would happen next?" Chunyu Shi explained.

"Mother, don't say these words anymore. Let me ask you, where do you hide the evidence?" Ling Buhuo said.

"Evidence, I hid the evidence very well. Your father has been looking for it for so many years and still hasn't found it, so you don't have to worry, Zichen." Chunyu said.

"Mother, I don't ask you where you hid the evidence. I just say one thing. The evidence will save your life in the future, although I don't know where you hid it."

"But it's best for you to leave it to me for safekeeping." Ling Buhuo said.

"What? Zichen, you said you wanted to keep it? This, this, this?" Chunyu hesitated after hearing this.

"Mother, I understand your concerns, but you must understand that my eldest brother is about to find out. He has already found out about King Qian'an. He knows that there was a traitor around King Qian'an back then."

"With his speed, he will definitely be able to find out clearly within half a year, so you actually don't have much time. Once he finds out, your reliance will be useless." Ling Buhuo advised.

"Son, I can leave it to you, but what are you going to do?" Chunyu asked

"Mother, I plan to use it to exchange for a future of several decades." Ling Buhuo said

"You, you want it? But what should Ling Buyi do over there?" Chunyu asked in surprise.

"Mother, since I plan to do this, you don't have to worry. Do you understand what I mean?" Ling Buhuo looked at Chunyu and said slowly

"What? You, you mean Ling Buyi is, he is? I didn't expect, I really didn't expect, that he actually is? Does that mean that everything before was planned?" Chunyu said.

"Yes, mother, everything was planned. Ling Buyi has a gloomy mind. He has done everything he can to investigate the case over the years. My son has helped him deal with a lot of things."

"So there are some things that he will inevitably show off, just like this incident. This is what I discovered accidentally. It is also because of this that I am what I am today." Ling Buhuo said

"Okay, I understand, Zichen. You go back and wait for my news first. When I get the things, I will go directly to you. After that, you should stop coming, so as not to make mistakes if you talk too much." Chunyu said.

"I know mother, and I will never come again. However, you must be careful. Since my father could do that back then? Then it is very likely that he will?" Ling Buhuo said worriedly.

"Don't worry. I have been with him for decades. I know his situation very well. Just go back and wait. It will probably take ten days." Chunyu said.

"Okay, mother, please be careful, your son will go back first." After hearing this, Ling Buhuo stood up and left.

Mrs. Chunyu looked at her son's leaving figure, her brows knitted tightly together. She knew her son's temperament very well, and he was born with a cold heart.

She was worried that once she handed over the things, her fate would be miserable, but she had to take a gamble, after all, Ling Buyi was about to find out.

Even if she wanted to continue to hide it, it was already impossible. She had doubted that her son was lying to her, but she gave up the idea soon.

Because now that he knows all this, if he wants to tell Ling Buyi, he can just tell him directly. With Ling Buyi's methods, he can naturally interrogate it easily.

But he didn't do this. Instead, he wanted to change his career for decades. This was very interesting. It was also because of this that she saw her son's selfishness.

It also prompted her to agree to her son's request, because no matter what her son asked for, he would always remember it in her name, and this was a fact that no one could change.

It can be said that she has tied mother and son together in their early years. In the future, whether Zichen wants it or not, she will be the old lady and his wife's aunt.

At this time, Ling Buhuo didn't care about his mother's thoughts. He believed that his mother could figure it out, so he was busy washing and resting at this time?

After all, tomorrow he will take up a post in Tingwei Mansion with a new identity. From now on, Tingwei Mansion will really be decided by him alone, so he is still looking forward to it.

This also caused him to suffer from insomnia. The next day, he washed up for a long time and was so sleepy that he didn't even dare to eat breakfast, so he went directly to Tingwei's Mansion.
