Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

Because of the order from Mr. Yan not to embarrass the children in the mansion, Pei Xuan and the servant were not embarrassd by the yamen runners outside the mansion. They were simply pushed into the mansion through the side door.

The servants of the Bo's Mansion came forward immediately.

"It's the second young master!"

Although the Bo family was in trouble and lived a hard life, Pei Xiao and Zhang had the means to govern them. In addition, everyone knew that the palace and the Zhang family would never just sit there and do nothing.

Nowadays, the servants in the Bo's Mansion are still relatively loyal.

Seeing Pei Xuan being pushed to the ground, everyone immediately stepped forward, some untied him, some supported him, and some went to report to the head of the family.

Pei Xiao was unemployed and imprisoned at home, so nothing serious happened. He soon came to the front yard with Zhang.

Seeing Pei Xuan in a dishevel, Zhang immediately stepped forward to show concern.

"Brother Xuan, how did you get caught? How have you been doing out there these days?"

Seeing that Cihangguan had a heart of stone, Pei Xuan had already thought of a response strategy and excuses on the way.

Since he had been forced to return to the mansion, no matter how poor the Bo Mansion was, he, a child, could only rely on the two heads of the family for his livelihood.

Therefore, it is still necessary to please the two of them as before.

Pei Xuan looked at the couple with tears in his eyes:

"My son was worried about his father and mother, and often hovered near the mansion. Today, he was found and tied up in front of the guards. Only then was he able to return to the mansion to reunite with his father and mother!"

Pei Xiao frowned and said:

"Why don't you go back to the academy? Although your family has encountered a great change, it is not a reason for you to neglect your studies."

Pei Xuan hurriedly said respectfully:

"Father, I want to study, but I can't stay in the academy..."

Then he talked about how he was bullied and ridiculed in the academy.

Pei Xiao's face darkened when he heard this, and he snorted coldly:

"These villains who flatter the weak and flatter the strong just think that my Jingnan Marquis Mansion will never rise again!"

Zhang hurriedly hugged Pei Xuan in her arms and said distressedly:

"It shows that our brother Xuan has suffered a lot outside. Now that you are back home, no one will bully you!"

Then he asked someone to take him to change clothes and wash up immediately.

Although there was not much food in the mansion, there was no shortage of clothes and water.

After Pei Xuan washed up, he heard the servant say that the third young lady Rong Niang had arrived.

Pei Xuan frowned. What was this little girl doing here? Was she going to ask about their useless biological mother again?

It would be bad not to see him, so Pei Xuan suppressed his impatience and walked out.

There was a pretty little girl sitting in the reception room, but she was very thin, her eyes looked particularly big, and her chin was very pointed.

She first politely greeted him, and then expressed her concern for Pei Xuan's experience outside. Then she lowered her voice and said:

"Second brother, you have been away for so long, have you ever visited Auntie?"

Pei Xuan nodded vaguely.

Rong Niang's eyes suddenly lit up:

"Did you bring the money I asked you to bring last time?"

Pei Xuan said impatiently:

"How can I covet your pocket money?"

Chen Qingzhu's interrogation and sending to Jingci Temple were both carried out in secret.

Rong Niang was an unpopular concubine's daughter and was not well-informed. She only learned the news after the people had left for more than a day.

Rongniang was very worried about her aunt's situation in the temple outside.

Although she is young, she knows a lot of things.

It is said that people in the temple live a very hard life and often bully strangers.

But as a young lady from a wealthy family, she couldn't even go to the outer courtyard without the permission of the mistress of the house, let alone help her aunt.

When she heard that her aunt was sent to the temple because of her stepmother's order, she did not dare to ask her stepmother for help rashly, for fear of adding fuel to the fire and prolonging her aunt's punishment.

After thinking it over, he felt that his own brother, who was born from the same womb as him, was a man who could move freely outside and had always acted prudently, so he was the most reliable, so he went to ask him for help.

Pei Xuan initially said that he couldn’t go out during the New Year.

But Rongniang knew that her brother was studying in an academy, so he would definitely be able to go out and meet friends during the Lantern Festival.

She waited patiently until the eve of the Lantern Festival, gave all her savings to Pei Xuan, and begged him to go to Jingci Temple and bring the money to her aunt.

Later, she saved her monthly allowance and asked Pei Xuan to deliver it to her when he returned home for vacation.

A poor family can be rich on the road, and my aunt is out there, so she has more money on her side, which makes people feel more at ease.

Seeing Pei Xuan was a little angry, Rong Niang didn't dare to offend him and said quickly:

"How could I doubt my second brother's character!"

"I just want to know if my aunt is living well now, whether she has enough food and clothes, and whether anyone is bullying her? Has the things happening in our house implicated her?"

She pulled Pei Xuan's sleeve and looked at him pleadingly with her big black grape-like eyes:

"Second brother, can you tell me in detail about my aunt's recent situation? I haven't seen her for several months. I'm really worried about her!"

As he spoke, his voice already began to cry.

In the past, every time Pei Xuan came back, he would only say a few vague words about the matters of Jingci Temple. When she asked him in detail, he became impatient, so she did not dare to ask more.

But the uneasiness in my heart was growing.

Now that something happened in the Bo's Mansion, she really couldn't hold back any longer.

Pei Xuan was very upset.

His sister is really an annoying stumbling block and a burden!

He has no tact at all and only knows how to cause trouble for him!

Don’t you see how serious a crime their biological mother has committed?

That was poisoning the eldest son. It's lucky that he wasn't beaten to death. Going out is also a way to atone for his sins. He still wants to live a good life!

Is there such a cheap thing in the world?

If he goes to give her money at this time and gets discovered, won't his father and mother be dissatisfied with him?

Besides, with so much time spent going back and forth, he might as well spend it socializing with his classmates or studying at home, which would not be more beneficial than going to Jingci Temple?

If he wasn't worried that if he didn't take the money, this idiot would cause a bigger commotion and his father and mother would find out, he really wouldn't want to pay any attention to her.

"Don't worry, that place is very popular now. People in the nearby towns say that the people who practice Buddhism there live very well and can eat meat every day!" This time, Pei Xuan went to Cihang Temple and finally had something to say.

"Did you see her this time?"

Pei Xuan continued to make up lies:

"I didn't see anyone, but I asked the gatekeeper to pass your money in."

After getting this answer, Rong Niang finally felt a little relieved.

She couldn't help but pray to the gods and Buddhas in her heart. She didn't want her aunt to return home early.

Life is hard in the mansion now, and I'm confined and unable to leave. I'm afraid I'm not as well off as my aunt is living in Jingci Temple.

Pei Xuan was very angry after having his first meal back at the Bo's Mansion.

Pei Xuan was used to eating fine food, so his heart skipped a beat when the coarse grains were served.

These are things that only the untouchables eat, how can they be served on the table of a young master of a marquis's mansion!

However, he did not lose his temper rashly.

After asking the servants serving in the yard, I found out that now everyone in the mansion can only eat this, and no matter how old the master or the servant is, everyone's portion is the same.

These young masters were young and could still eat their fill, but the older servants and masters went hungry for every meal.

Even the whole grains I want are not enough.

Pei Xuanshi didn't dare to throw things away casually.

Otherwise, if the news got to his parents, they would probably think that he was willful and ignorant.

Pei Xuan's heart went cold as he swallowed the coarse grains that irritated his throat with difficulty. He was extremely worried that he would be confined in the Bo's mansion and live like this for the rest of his life.

He became more and more annoyed at his biological mother's incompetence.

If she had had some influence in Cihang Temple, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Apart from anything else, there was definitely freedom, and it was said that people could eat meat every day at Cihang Temple, which was much better than the food we have today.

It's really useless!

How could he be so unlucky to be born into such a person's belly!

Tongzhifu

Early in the morning of the second day after the visitor from the capital entered the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion, Yan Tongzhi, who had been paying attention to the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion, received the news.

When he learned that the prefect, who was always cautious and cunning, had personally ordered to facilitate the Jingnan Marquis's mansion, he immediately realized that this matter was unusual.
