Chapter 741
Shopkeeper Chen's expression faded, and he drank tea slowly: "You have been in Chang'an for so long, but I have heard others say, what kind of person is King Yan?"

Rong Jiu shook his head.

Shopkeeper Chen sighed, and his tone was quite mocking: "It turns out that no one dared to even mention it. The Xiao family's prostitution is getting stronger and stronger."

"You don't live in seclusion to avoid the Xiao family, do you?"

"Back then, the late emperor's princes, powerful and powerful, passed away one after another. After my eldest son passed away unexpectedly, my mother and concubine were worried every day, fearing that I would be harmed by the Xiao family. I didn't care about that position at first. Let mother and concubine feel at ease, so I wandered around, and then simply lived in seclusion in Changle County."

Although he only said a few words, he said it calmly, but Rong Jiu could imagine that with the Xiao family's methods, it must have been a bloody storm back then.

"Jiu Niang," Shopkeeper Chen looked at her and said with a smile, "From now on, I will be your Fourth Emperor Uncle, please call and listen."

The corner of Rong Jiu's mouth twitched, got up and went back to the bedroom, and found out the token of Prince Yun's Mansion he had given her back then: "Return it to you."

"There is no reason to take back the things that are sent out. If they are given to you, they are yours."

"You gave it to me in the first place to save my life when I had nowhere to go, but I don't need it now."

But shopkeeper Chen didn't take it back: "The water of the Xiao family's party is deep, and it's not so easy to deal with. If it is useful to get the place of Prince Yun's mansion in the future, you won't owe anyone a favor."

Rong Jiu played with the token in his hand, and looked up at him: "You and Lord Yun are family friends, and Shu'er will soon be your daughter-in-law again. Isn't it good for you to turn your elbows outward like this?"

"You are my dear niece." Shopkeeper Chen glared at her angrily, "Uncle Si Huang."

"Then thank you Fourth Emperor Uncle."

"So nice."

The two chatted all afternoon, and when dinner was about to be served, Chu Li came in in a hurry, and suddenly stopped when she blurted out: "Father, sister Jiu, do you have guests?"

Rong Jiu looked at him jokingly: "My father, don't you know him?"

Chu Li scratched her head in embarrassment, smiled, and then complained: "Father, you are really too, you should have told Sister Ah Jiu long ago, and I almost slipped the tongue several times."

It was hard for him to coax Rong Jiu, and when he saw that Chu Li was making trouble again, he immediately glared at him: "Didn't I say that? I haven't met, what should I say? Go and find your wife, don't be an eyesore here. "

"Sister Ajiu, you can set the meal later, I'll find Shu'er to eat together." As he said that, he had already run away.

Rong Jiu couldn't help laughing, and shopkeeper Chen scolded, "You brat."

When Shen Cheng came back, Chu Li and Princess Yunxiao also arrived, and they gathered around for dinner.

Shopkeeper Chen saw that Chu Li went straight to pick up vegetables in Princess Yunxiao's bowl, but he didn't pick it up once, and his face immediately turned dark.

"Last time Seventeen also said that the Dongpo meat cooked by Mammy is delicious, Uncle Si Huang should try it."

Rong Jiu smiled and put a piece of Dongpo meat in his bowl, and secretly kicked Chu Li.

"Sister Ajiu, why are you kicking?" Chu Li hurriedly stopped her voice, and with a smile, she also picked up a piece of Dongpo meat for shopkeeper Chen. I won’t let you eat meat anymore, I won’t tell Concubine Mu.”

Shopkeeper Chen took a bite of meat, choked in his throat, and glared at him: "How dare you!"

Chu Li flattered her with another piece, and had a happy meal, and didn't go back until it was almost curfew.

Shen Cheng said suddenly: "The brawny man who performed the fire-breathing act hanged himself in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion today."
