The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Ling Xiao took the jade pendant in his hand and went to Zhongyuan Hou Mansion.

Marquis Zhongyuan had been suffering from the cold these days and was resting in the study in the outer courtyard. When he saw Ling Xiao coming in from outside, he was so happy that he stood up and walked towards Ling Xiao.

"Why are you here at this time? Have you had dinner?"

Ling Xiao looked at the man who seemed to be more than ten years old in just one year, with a hint of heartache in his eyes.

"I haven't eaten yet."

"Then stay here and eat." Marquis Zhongyuan hurriedly asked people to prepare the meal.

Ling Xiao said: "I don't dare to eat the food in the house, let's go out to eat."

Marquis Zhongyuan frowned and said, "Okay, then you can book a place."

Ling Xiao turned around and walked out, with Marquis Zhongyuan following behind him.

People inside and outside the courtyard were stunned when they looked at Ling Xiao's sudden appearance.

They stood aside, not knowing what to call the masked man who suddenly appeared in front of them.

As the father and son walked to the door of the Hou Mansion, a young voice called "Father" from behind.

Ling Xiao and Marquis Zhongyuan were both stopped in their tracks.

Ling Xiao slowly turned his head, and the first thing he saw was the stiff Chinese character face of Marquis Zhongyuan, and then he saw a fair boy about eleven or twelve years old, wearing a green bamboo-leaf gown, walking from a distance.

"Father, where are you going?" Ling Chen looked at Ling Xiao curiously.

Ling Xiao snorted with sarcasm in his eyes.

He thought that after his father saw him, he could at least ask his younger brother if he had caused him to fall off the cliff and die.

But now it seems that his father protected this seemingly harmless, but actually snake-hearted younger brother extremely well, without even questioning him.

"Who asked you to come out?" Marquis Zhongyuan turned around in embarrassment and scolded: "Didn't I tell you to stay in the yard and not come out? Get back here!"

Ling Chen was stunned when he was scolded.

"Father..." Ling Chen's face turned slightly pale and he looked at Zhongyuan Hou in surprise.

This was the first time his father had scolded him like this, let alone in front of so many people.

"Go back!" Marquis Zhongyuan scolded him again in a stern tone.

Ling Xiao lifted his legs and walked out of the courtyard.

Marquis Zhongyuan had a sullen face and said angrily to the stunned Ling Chen, "You were waiting for me to come back!"

He hurriedly followed Ling Xiao out of the courtyard.

Ling Chen's pale face slowly turned blue-black. He asked the people standing next to him, "Who is that masked person?"

The housekeeper glanced at the young men with their heads drooped, and replied with a smile: "He is our eldest son, and now he is Marquis Jingyuan..."

"Who do you think he is?" Ling Chen's eyes almost fell out of his eyes, "He... isn't he dead?"

"I don't know what is going on. I still have to ask the Marquis to find out." The butler replied with a smile. Ling Chen stood there, staring, watching the butler's mouth open and close, but couldn't understand what he was saying.

"If the second master has no other instructions, the old slave will take them down to do things." The housekeeper said again.

Ling Chen blinked, turned around and ran towards his mother's yard.

Ling Xiao is still alive?

Was he also granted the title of Marquis of Jingyuan?

He had to ask his mother what was going on?

After Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou "died" from Ling Xiao, she was banned from the main courtyard by Zhongyuan Hou.

She has been very honest these days, staying in the yard all the time and not asking anything about things outside.

She was waiting, waiting for Marquis Zhongyuan to make her son the crown prince. By then, Marquis Zhongyuan would have to release her even if he was dissatisfied with her!

When she saw her son running in from the yard, she complained nervously: "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you? You are not allowed to come to my place until your father calms down!"

"Mom, he's not dead, he's still alive!" Ling Chen hugged his mother's arm and said in a trembling voice, "What should we do now? He's back! He's also become the Marquis of Jingyuan!"

"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou saw that something was wrong with her son. She hurriedly pulled him into the house and drove the girl out. She scolded in a low voice: "You are an adult now, why are you still so panicked when something happens?" Are you panicking? You will be named the Crown Prince soon, so you have to be steady in your actions..."

"Mother, Ling Xiao is not dead! He is back alive!" Ling Chen blinked and said in fear: "He is Jingyuan Hou now!"

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou didn't believe it at all: "Who did you listen to? He has died a long time ago, and the grass on the grave is as tall as a man. Stop talking nonsense!"

"Mother, what I said is true! I just saw him going out with my father!" Ling Chen was so frightened that he shed tears. "He just stared at me so fiercely that he wanted to eat me alive! My father also He hates me so much that he says he will settle the score with me when he comes back!"

Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou was in a state of confusion. She had been dreaming about her son being Zhongyuan Hou and her being the old lady. Now she suddenly heard Ling Chen howl like this. To her, it was like a thunderbolt. .

"Impossible!" She still couldn't believe it.

"Mother, what I said is true! If you don't believe me, ask the housekeeper!" Ling Chen cried bitterly, "It's over, mother, I'm dead this time, you must save me!"

"Shut up!" Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou looked at her cowardly little son and shouted angrily, "What did I tell you? You have to be calm when things happen! You have to think twice before you act! You are so panicked Zhang ran over, crying and shouting, what do the servants think? How will you be the heir in the future? How will you be the marquis? "

"Mom, he's back now, how can I be considered the heir apparent?" Ling Chen wiped his face with his sleeve and whispered to his mother: "How about we run away? Let's go back to our grandfather's house. No matter how bold Ling Xiao is, he wouldn't dare to go to my grandfather's house to kill us..."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Zhongyuan was so angry that she almost couldn't hold her breath.

Thinking about how she had been decisive in doing things since she was a girl, knowing what she wanted every step of the way, but why did she give birth to such a failed son?

She asked him to poison Ling Xiao, but he didn't listen to her and reduced the poison by half. As a result, he couldn't let Ling Xiao die directly outside. She had to set up another trap to lure him outside the city and kill him.

Otherwise, if Ling Xiao died quietly outside, how could Zhongyuan Hou suspect her?

Now that Ling Xiao is not dead, he doesn't think about how to clean up the mess, but thinks about going back to his grandfather's house to hide. Didn't he think that if the two of them went back in such a dejected state, the people in his grandfather's house would give How cool are they?

Moreover, even if his maternal grandfather's family was extremely courageous, they would not dare to offend two princes at the same time.

Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou sighed and said to Ling Chen: "You should go back to your yard to read a book now. Remember, no matter who asks you, you must say what I taught you before. For other things, I don’t know anything about everything, don’t say a word more!”

Ling Chen asked timidly: "Is it possible? My father has always valued Ling Xiao, and he didn't even care about me."

"You are the legitimate son! What are you afraid of?" Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou sneered: "In the worst case, everything will be destroyed, and no one can think about it!"
