According to Old Madam Chen, she and Princess Qianyang went up the mountain to burn incense and intended to stay overnight. However, she suddenly fell ill halfway through the journey and hurried down the mountain before dawn. They encountered bandits at the foot of the west mountain.

The guards of the Bo Mansion fought desperately. Seeing that they were unable to defeat the criminals, they fired hidden weapons at Old Madam Chen, made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, and abducted Qianyang.

Old Madam Chen was halfway through her speech when she was taken away by Earl Le Yuan.

After the court session ended, Quan Ying'an had a stomachache and was about to leave when he ran into the mother and son of the Chen family at the back door.

Next to the thick courtyard wall, Chen Chuxiao slapped his mother to the ground. After being stunned, Old Madam Chen immediately stood up and slapped her back twice, cursing and angrily.

About Princess Qianyang,

About Chen Chuxiao abusing her.

He hid beside the back door, not daring to move.

Who could understand that a Confucian scholar who had been baptized by benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and filial piety since childhood would be more frightened by that slap than seeing the King of Hell.

If someone dares to abuse and beat his own mother, what else can he not do?

Quan Ying'an recalled what happened at that time, with shock still on his face. He looked at Chu Yizhao,

"Who would dare to believe this matter when it comes out? Chen Chuxiao actually beat up his own mother.

In her scolding, Old Madam Chen mentioned that Chen Chuxiao was angry about the princess and imprisoned and abused her, and she took advantage of the opportunity to escape today, intending to perish together with Princess Qianyang.

Chu Yizhao's face was filled with confusion. "Her son abused her, and she wants to perish with her daughter-in-law?"

"What kind of help are you asking for..."

Quan Ying'an spread his hands, "I heard her say that. She wanted to talk about Marquis Leyuan after she finished talking about Princess Qianyang, but she was taken away before she could finish her words."

Chu Yizhao was even more confused, "You mean, in order to destroy Qianyang, she talked so much that she forgot about the important things..."

"This kind of family is really ridiculous." Quan Ying'an picked up the tea to moisten his throat, raised his eyes and looked at Chu Yizhao.

"Believe it or not, this is what I saw"

Chu Yizhao didn't say whether she believed it or not. She looked at the person opposite her steadily. At first sight, he was like a lotus leaf in summer, with clear water underneath, gentle and friendly.

He is jumpy and frivolous in his actions and words, unlike Quan Yanshu's elegance and calmness. He is like a naughty boy who has been pickled by books.

Chen Chuxiao abused his mother...

Chu Yizhao thought carefully.

If what Quan Ying'an said is true.

The Zhou Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, so Chen Chuxiao would inevitably lose his title and go to jail for this action.

If you're just venting your anger on your mother, is it really necessary to take such a big risk to punish her?

Chu Yizhao tapped the table with her fingers, drawing Quan Ying'an's attention, and asked,

"You are a judge in the yamen, and you told others the secrets of the case. Aren't you afraid that your superiors will punish you?"

"Is this a secret? I saw it privately. What does it have to do with my boss?" Quan Ying'an asked in confusion.

After saying that, he thought about it again, and it seemed that it was indeed not good, so he blamed Chu Yizhao and tried to make up for himself.

"If you didn't call me, I would have kept it a secret for the rest of my life. It's your fault that you had to ask me, and I couldn't help but want to talk."

"... "

"That's unreasonable, isn't it?" Chu Yizhao laughed angrily.

"It was you who started it first, and it was you who led me here. Now you're scared and you're turning the tables. You have no shame."

Quan Ying'an waved his hand and said, "You don't understand. In the Quan family, it is a rule to answer every question."

His younger brother's face turned red, but he had to honestly tell the name of his sweetheart in front of the elders.

"quibble"

The big mouth speaks so noblely.

Quan Ying'an didn't care and talked about another thing, "This Chen Chuxiao also studied in Tangshan for a few years, how could he be so ignorant of etiquette and rebel against Tiangang."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yizhao immediately looked up, his clear eyes sparkling, "Chen Chuxiao studied in Tangshan? Tangshan Academy?"

"Yes, there is only one academy in Tangshan."

"How come no one has ever mentioned this..."

There was too much doubt in her words, so Quan Ying'an explained, "Chen Chuxiao became a princess after high school and joined the ranks of aristocratic families, so naturally she doesn't want to talk about the past anymore."

In recent years, because of that incident, the attitude of the poor nobles has eased a little, but only a little.

Chen Chuxiao is very smart and knows how to protect himself.

The two people in the room had the same idea.

Chu Yizhao suspected that Chen Chuxiao concealed the truth on purpose, not because of the political situation, but because he was afraid that someone would find out...

Wang Xi also studied at Tangshan Academy…

The two are of similar age.

Most likely they are classmates...

"Chen Chuxiao has been a noble for six years, and he has been to and from court banquets quite often... Don't your colleagues at Tangshan Academy know him?"

The tea in the cup was almost gone. Quan Ying'an held the cup and looked at Chu Yizhao with a strange expression. "Tangshan Academy has scholars from all over the world, either studying or borrowing to study. There are tens of thousands of students coming and going every year. Who can remember them all..."

"Besides, students are proud to have studied at Tangshan Academy. After entering the government, they will tell others without being asked. If they don't want to tell others, naturally no one will ask..."

Chu Yizhao listened and closed his head slightly, "I am ignorant."

Ever since he linked Chen Chuxiao and Wang Xi together, Chu Yizhao felt that everything these two did had ulterior motives...

The profile of the woman beside the table was beautiful and pure as she swayed with her hairpin. Quan Ying'an thought to himself that she was worthy of being the one his brother had been thinking about day and night.

Seeing her say this, Quan Ying'an rolled his eyes and said, "Miss Chu stays in Shangjing City every day, and sees the same things everywhere, so her horizons are naturally limited."

"Now that it's mentioned, I want to ask, does Miss Chu want to go to Tangshan Academy for some fun?"

"Go to Tangshan Academy?" Chu Yizhao's brows moved slightly.

After a while, he frowned again. Even if Wang Xi and Chen Chuxiao were classmates, so what? After so many years, things have changed a lot..."

"Yeah, in spring there are mountains full of jasmine flowers, in summer there are ponds full of green lotus, in summer there are crabapples and jade osmanthus, and in winter there are mountain snow plums. They are all very beautiful." Quan Ying'an waved his hands, with some nostalgia and sadness in his eyes.

“I haven’t been home for a long time”

His voice became a little lower.

Fallen leaves on a tree in a foreign land, a person alone with a cold lamp at night

Seeing him like this, Chu Yizhao did not refuse anymore. Tangshan Academy is a famous school and a scenic spot. He must go there when he travels around in the future.

She soothed him softly, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm too busy these days and the New Year is coming soon, so I can't put many things on hold.

If there is a chance, when the spring breeze arrives, I will accept your invitation to go and enjoy the spring in the mountains, how about that? "

Quan Ying'an immediately smiled and said, "Of course, when the girl is free, let me know and I will be a free man for her."

"Thank you very much"

Chu Yizhao and Quan Ying'an walked out of the tea room. Chang Nian was holding a pile of books with no interest in him. Quan Yanshu stood beside him, quietly. The two teenagers of the same age ignored each other.

Seeing someone appear, Quan Yanshu did not think about it, but walked to Chu Yizhao and stood still. "Miss, have you talked to your brother? Is the tea fresh and smooth?"

"Thousands of mountains and clouds are rarely seen in the world. If I can't explain how moist it is, then the fault lies with me, not the tea," Chu Yizhao said with a polite smile.

Quan Yanshu lowered his head and smiled, "How can a mere green leaf compare to a golden branch? If you like it, take some back with you."

"Mr. Quan, you are too polite. I have a request to make, Lord Quan. How can I ask for a favor and then accept a gift?" Chu Yizhao waved his hand to refuse.

Qianshan Yunwu is extremely expensive, she dare not take it.

Go back tomorrow and ask Wei Xingli to get her two kilograms.

Chang Nian was holding a pile of books, and he was swaying left and right as if he had fleas all over his body. Chu Yizhao walked over to see him, and he immediately stood up straight.

"Miss, aren't these too many? How about removing a few?"

Chu Yizhao flipped through the book and found that it was all basic enlightenment materials. It seemed that this boy had let her out. She refused seriously, "No, so many people are vying to be taught by Master Quan, but you are twisted like a pea with worms."

Quan Ying'an burst into laughter. This little girl was really interesting. Sometimes she was dignified like a lady from a wealthy family, and sometimes she was free and easy like a country girl. She was gentle, intelligent and polite.

She is perfect to be the eldest grandson's wife in a powerful family.

Quan Yanshu stood beside him, watching the woman opposite him gently scolding the pouting boy, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

She seemed to praise him every time. In her heart, was he so good?

"Mr. Quan, thank you very much. How much do these books cost?"

The woman's question interrupted his thoughts.

money…

"No need, the girl and I are old acquaintances." Speaking of old acquaintances, Quan Yanshu was a little nervous, "Books are priceless, and I will get a fortune by giving them to scholars who love them."

Chu Yizhao automatically ignored the old acquaintance, took out two silver ingots and placed them on the table and chair next to him. "Gold is easy to get, but kindness is hard to come by. These books are very suitable for reading. Young Master has done his best, and I can't take advantage of him."

"Farewell"

When the master and servant saluted and were about to leave, Quan Yanshu called out, "Miss!"
