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

When Marquis Zhongyuan returned to the Marquis Mansion, he went directly to the courtyard where Ling Chen lived.

Ling Chen sat at the table and read for more than half an hour. Seeing that his father never came to see him, he couldn't help but feel relieved and asked someone to prepare the meal.

He was sitting at the table and enjoying his meal when he suddenly saw his father walking in from outside with a dark face. He was so frightened that the piece of meat he had just put into his mouth fell into the bowl with a "click".

"Father..." Ling Chen stood up with a pale face.

Marquis Zhongyuan valued his eldest son because he was going to support his family in the future, but he doted on his younger son because he didn't have much expectations.

But after the eldest son passed away prematurely, Marquis Zhongyuan had new plans for his second son.

But Ling Chen, who is still young and used to being loose, how can he compare with Ling Xiao?

Marquis Zhongyuan became more and more disappointed with him and became more and more severe.

So much so that when Ling Chen met Marquis Zhongyuan, he couldn't help but try to please him in every possible way.

But the more he tried to please him, the more Marquis Zhongyuan looked down on him.

"What exactly did you do to your elder brother?" Zhongyuan Hou shouted: "If you dare to tell a lie, I will break your legs!"

"I...I didn't do anything." Ling Chen stuttered and said, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Marquis Zhongyuan looked at his son's chattering eyes and felt even more angry, "You can think about it later!"

"My son has really never done anything." Ling Chen knelt down in front of Zhongyuan Marquis and cried: "Father, my son was tied to the cliff at that time. It was the eldest brother who sacrificed his life to save his son's life. , My son still has nightmares every night. I really wish it was my son who jumped off the cliff to save his father from being so sad..."

Marquis Zhongyuan frowned, and his newly aroused suspicion was gradually dispelled by the sound of his youngest son crying bitterly.

The more he felt that his younger son was incompetent, the more he felt that he did not dare to poison his eldest son.

But he still said something cruel, "If I knew that you dared to attack your brother, don't you think I would beat you to death!"

Ling Chen looked at Marquis Zhongyuan walking away, then stood up slowly while holding on to the table.

He sat back on the chair, picked up the piece of meat that fell into the bowl, and stuffed it into his mouth.

This piece of meat is his, and this home is also his!

Marquis Zhongyuan left his youngest son's yard and went straight to the yard of his wife Zhongyuan Marquis.

Mrs. Hou was not surprised when she saw him.

"You poisonous woman! Why do you want to harm Ling Xiao? He was not born by you, but he was born by me! As the head mother of the family, you don't think about how to make the brothers harmonious and the family prosperous, but you borrowed the child and plotted to kill him. Heir, who gave you the courage?" Marquis Zhongyuan pointed at Madam Hou's nose and cursed: "I will divorce you tomorrow, a wicked woman, and see how the dignity of your Yin family, which has been a century-old family, will survive?"

"Master Hou, you and I have been husband and wife for more than twenty years, providing for your parents until they die, and now you are about to divorce your first wife because of a bastard's nonsense?" Mrs. Hou sneered: "I want to see, you Divorce me however you want!"

"You still refuse to admit it?" Zhongyuan Hou's fingers trembled slightly in anger, and he raised his hand several times to slap her twice, but in the end he endured it.

"Why should I admit something I haven't done?" Madam Hou said sternly: "Our Yin family girls have always had a good reputation, how can they be ruined by me? However, now that Ling Xiao is a favorite of the new emperor, she has become a With Marquis Jingyuan, if the Marquis wants to please him for the sake of power, then we, the Yin family, have nothing to say if he wants to impose a crime."

"You..." Marquis Zhongyuan was so angry with her that he said, "Okay, since neither mother nor son shed tears after seeing the coffin, then I will simply investigate the matter to the end. I want to see who is right and who is right!"

Mrs. Hou looked at the back of Marquis Zhongyuan and couldn't help but sneered.

At first he was thinking about the relationship between husband and wife, father and son, but he only found half of everything and nothing more happened.

Now that the promising eldest son is back, he wants to kill them and investigate their mother and son.

But so much time had passed, did he think she would still be waiting for evidence for him to check?

Marquis Zhongyuan returned to his study and called his attendants into the room. He looked at the people in front of him, still hesitating in his heart.

He was afraid that if he really found something, he would not even have a reason to deceive himself.

He was silent for a long time and then said: "Go on and check!"

After everyone exited, Marquis Zhongyuan fell down on the chair tiredly.

How could his family, where he once thought he had a harmonious husband and wife and respectful brothers and sisters, become like this?

On the other side, Ling Xiao watched Marquis Zhongyuan walk away and followed him downstairs.

Standing on the street, he found that he didn't even have a place to go.

He walked around the street and finally stopped outside the wall of Zuofu.

He thought that he should have a good talk with Zuo Xiangning.

She must have misunderstood herself, and she had to explain it clearly to her.

She is a sensible woman who will definitely understand her own difficulties and forgive herself.

But he didn't expect that when he climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, he saw Zuo Xiangning and Li Shaonan sitting together drinking tea.

This... what is going on?

Ling Xiao thought he was dazzled by drinking too much?

He rubbed his eyes and saw more clearly.

Zuo Xiangning wore a homely peach-pink jacket, and Li Shaonan wore a sky-blue gown. The two of them were sitting at the stone table in the yard, whispering something to each other.

Li Shaonan took a grape and handed it to Zuo Xiangning.

Zuo Xiangning shook her head with a smile, picked up a grape and put it into her mouth, and looked at Li Shaonan and smiled...

Ling Xiao felt his ears buzzing. What were they doing?

Every time he comes to see her, he acts secretly, like a thief. When did he sit in the courtyard and admire the moon like Li Shaonan so openly?

right! The moon outside today is round and big, and they are just enjoying the moon!

Ling Xiao hid in the distance, watching them without blinking. He wanted to see how long this person named Li would stay.

If they dared to behave a little bit beyond the rules, he would immediately jump out and chop off Li Shaonan's fingers!

Zuo Xiangning and Li Shaonan, who were more than ten meters away, still knew nothing.

Li Shaonan came to tell Zuo Xiangning that the person who went to ask cousin Gu Zhiqing about something was Xu Meiren's uncle in the palace.

Zuo Xiangning told Li Shaonan what the queen meant.

Li Shaonan directly stated that he did not need the Queen's arrangements.

But Zuo Xiangning lectured him a lot, from Concubine Li in the palace to the widowed mother in the Li family. Zuo Xiangning didn't stop until Li Shaonan nodded.

Li Shaonan expressed his gratitude and went back to Li Mansion to pick two bunches of grapes.

He gave the bottom green grape to Zuo Xiangning and told her that this one was the sweetest.

But Zuo Xiangning didn't believe it. She smiled and picked a purple one and put it in her mouth...

These were ordinary things, but in Ling Xiao's eyes, they were filled with jealousy.

A quarter of an hour later, Zuo Xiangning drove Li Shaonan home.

She herself was still sitting on the chair looking boredly at the Big Dipper in the sky.

Ling Xiao fell next to her and asked coldly: "Zuo Xiangning, are you really good at it?"
