The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

In the evening, Mrs. Min was taken away by the mighty general.

Old Mrs. Huang was escorted back to the Lu Mansion by Gu Jingzhe.

Madam Su and Tong Pandi returned to their room.

At ten o'clock in the morning, He Chao came back from the shop and said that West Street had been cleaned up and the market would open as usual on the 16th day of the first lunar month.

Last night's panic seemed like a dream.

The streets are bustling again.

Some people's lives were not affected at all, but for others, their lives changed dramatically.

Some families had come out to enjoy the lanterns happily, but the Fifth Prince's rebellion caused them to be torn apart.

It's really an unexpected disaster.

And those who are alive can only continue to live.

The emperor is old, and there is a possibility of trouble happening again as long as the next emperor has not yet taken office.

Tong Huaqiong didn't want such a rebellion to happen again or several times. This time was enough. Although she was not actually involved in the rebellion, the fear and panic were real.

She didn't want to go through that again.

What's more, people like Nie Xiaofeng, Su Chengmin and Master Su are real people around her. Although she didn't see with her own eyes the fierce battle between them and the rebels last night, she thought it must have been thrilling.

If any of them really died at the hands of the rebels, it would probably become a lifelong shadow for the Gu family.

So it is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times.

Of course it would be even better to return to the modern era.

Thinking this way, it was time for dinner.

Su Chengmin came to Gu's house before dinner, and Gu Taohua's eyes turned red when she saw him.

It is said that when Su Shihang was captured and hacked by the rebels last night, Su Chengmin happened to pass by and rescued his father from the rebels' knives.

Su Shihang was injured and fainted. Even after all the rebels were wiped out, Su Shihang was still unconscious.

"Just consider it as repaying him for giving birth to me. From now on, neither of us owes each other anything." Su Chengmin said.

Su Chengmin was left behind for dinner.

Everyone had the same concerns, and the usually relaxed atmosphere at the dinner table felt a bit heavy today.

Fan Tong and Gu Honglian were missing from the dinner table.

Tong Huaqiong ordered someone to send the vegetables to Gu Honglian's room.

After the maid sent her over, she did not see Gu Honglian, only Fan Tong was in the room.

Hearing from the kitchen maid that Fan Tong wanted to eat chicken noodle soup, Gu Honglian went to the kitchen to make soup and noodles herself.

After hearing this, Tong Huaqiong agreed to go with them.

"Husband, the noodles are here."

Gu Honglian brought the chicken noodle soup she made herself to Fan Tong.

Fan Tong put down his chopsticks after taking a bite.

There was a slight look of disgust on his face.

Gu Honglian asked in surprise: "What's wrong? It's not tasty?"

Since arriving at the Gu family, Gu Honglian has started to learn how to cook in order to avoid her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law. A bowl of delicious chicken noodle soup is no problem for her.

Usually, when Fan Tong came back from the private school in Yanguan Town, she would stew a chicken and make chicken noodle soup. Fan Tong would always eat it with a mouthful of oil. Why did she dislike it when she came to Shengjing?

Could it be that the food at his sister-in-law's house has made him picky?

Fan Tong sighed and said, "I have no appetite."

Gu Honglian said, "How come you have no appetite after being hungry for a whole day and night? Are you disgusted with my cooking skills?"

Fan Tong pushed the bowl away and said, "I've been looking for you all day and all night and I'm very tired."

Nonsense, how could he have no appetite?

It was simply because he was full.

Of course, he couldn't tell Gu Honglian the truth, and the fact that he had hooked up with a noble man couldn't be revealed for the time being.

Gu Honglian was about to lose her temper, but when she heard Fan Tong say this, she softened her heart and said, "Then go to bed."

Fan Tong was lying on the bed.

The room was indeed warm.

But it is too small and the decoration is very simple. It is the worst house in the Gu family.

It doesn't matter, he will be able to move out of this house soon.

Speaking of the thrilling experience last night, he wanted to thank the Fifth Prince. Without the Fifth Prince's rebellion, he would not have had the adventure last night.

Last night, he let go of Gu Honglian's hand and fled in the opposite direction.

He encountered a group of gangsters who were robbing people. The person being robbed shouted that he was the chief secretary of King Ning and that they would suffer the consequences if they robbed him.

The criminals said that Prince Ning's retainers must be rich, and they robbed Prince Ning's chief secretary.

Anyway, it was hard to see clearly at night, and the whole city was in chaos. Ning Wang Changshi, who had no guards, was like a fat sheep falling into the hands of a desperado.

The Chief Secretary told the crowd passing by that he would reward handsomely anyone who could save him.

But everyone was just trying to escape, and no one dared to take action. What's more, no one believed that King Ning's chief secretary would go out alone on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The gangster knocked Changshi down with a stick, robbed him of all his jade pendants, gold and silver, and thick clothes, and then left.

The Chief Secretary fainted in the snow, and the blood from his head dyed the snow red.

Fan Tong was so scared that he hid behind a tree and dared not make a sound.

A passerby saw an injured person lying on the snow, so he took off his thick clothes and covered the Changshi with them, then took out two buns from his arms and placed them next to the Changshi.

In the second half of the night, when no one passed by in the alley, Fan Tong saw Changshi struggling to stand up in the moonlight and snow.

Fan Tong walked over and supported Changshi.

Changshi looked at the thick clothes on his body and the buns beside him and thought that it was Fan Tong who saved him.

Fan Tong falsely claimed the life-saving favor.

The chief secretary told him a nearby address and asked Fan Tong to help him there.

Fan Tong was very happy, thinking it was Prince Ning's Mansion. After he helped the person over, he found out that it was a courtyard with three entrances, which turned out to be the private residence of the Chief Secretary.

Fan Tong felt disappointed.

After the Chief Secretary returned home, his servants called a doctor, and Fan Tong, as his savior, was treated as a VIP.

Upon learning that Fan Tong was a scholar from Ningcheng, who had failed the provincial examinations many times due to bad luck and had come to Shengjing to look for opportunities, the Chief Secretary said that Fan Tong's future was in his hands.

Fan Tong was secretly proud of himself, but pretended not to know the identity of the Chief Secretary.

The Chief Secretary personally told Fan Tong that he was the confidant of Prince Ning, and from now on Fan Tong could rely on Prince Ning's Mansion together with him, and he would find an opportunity to recommend him to Prince Ning.

Fan Tong never dared to dream of being able to marry Prince Ning, but he did not expect it to come true on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Fan Tong was kept at home by the chief secretary until the situation outside calmed down and he was not allowed to come back.

Fan Tong lay on the bed with a smile on his face.

No wonder people with great ambitions love to come to Shengjing to seek a future. There are indeed many opportunities in Shengjing, and you can easily meet noble people.

As for whether he felt guilty about claiming the credit, Fan Tong, who believed that if one does not work for others, he will be punished by heaven and earth, certainly did not feel guilty. Instead, he was very proud of it.

When Gu Honglian saw the smile on Fan Tong's face, she also felt happy, although she didn't know why Fan Tong was happy.

After turning off the lights, Gu Honglian crawled into bed and moved closer to Fan Tong.

When Fan Tong touched Gu Honglian's soft body, he immediately dodged.

Gu Honglian asked dissatisfiedly, "What's wrong, husband?"

There was a hint of sneer on Fan Tong's lips.

Gu Honglian's screams in the alley echoed in her ears.

He knew what happened in that alley without even thinking about it.

But Gu Honglian thought that he didn't know and tried to hide it from him.

Now that he has married Prince Ning, he is bound to live a life of wealth and luxury, and he doesn't want to be with Shinobi Honglian at all.
