Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 12

Shi Chengxuan had no choice but to bring the topic to his dead son. But unexpectedly, Tang Chujun's face turned so dark that he could only point at his nose and curse "Go away".

He went to see his daughter again and saw her eating quietly the whole time without raising an eyebrow.

Only then did he realize that he had raised his daughter really well, and her every move was dignified and reserved only for a noble girl.

He dared to say that even the ladies in the palace might not be able to match this demeanor.

My heart is getting hotter and hotter. With his daughter's beauty and their family's family status, she is more than enough to be worthy of a prince. Who said that the Hou Mansion would decline in his generation?

But he didn't dare to say what was in his heart.

At this moment, the entourage came in and reported, "It's not good, Second Master! Second Master is not good!"

Shi Chengxuan's hand holding the chopsticks trembled with his heart, "What's wrong?"

"If Aunt Wen doesn't give her any money, someone will go to the government to sue her!"

Shi Chengxuan was annoyed and asked hurriedly, "What kind of money? Who wants to sue her?"

"Second Master, didn't you ask me to beat the servants of the Marquis' Mansion with a stick in the street? Aunt Wen asked the onlookers to carry them back to the mansion, and said that she would pay each of them ten cents for their work. But after they were carried back, Aunt Wen refused to pay..."

Shi Chengxuan's eyelids twitched, and he even used the local slang, "What on earth does this woman want to do!"

If one person is not willing to pay ten cents, even if one hundred people are invited, how much will it cost?

Shi Chengxuan was so angry that he strode out of Haitang Courtyard without even saying hello.

Tang Chujun looked at his daughter who was looking at the joke, "Did you arrange this too?"

Shi Anxia smiled half-heartedly, "No, my daughter's hands can't reach that long, so Aunt Wen used her own strength."

Tang Chujun chuckled, stopped asking, and continued to eat with his head down. Inexplicably, I had the illusion that this food was much more delicious than before.

In He'an Courtyard, Aunt Wen was kneeling in the house crying.

Sitting at the top was the old Marquis, who had not been seen for a long time. Mrs. Shi sat next to him, and sitting next to him was Shi Chengxuan.

Mrs. Shi took a teacup and smashed it on Aunt Wen's head, yelling angrily, "Who asked you to set up a private incense table and altar? Did I tell you that these things are strictly prohibited in the whole government!"

Aunt Wen was hit on the head, screamed in pain, and fell to the ground.

The tea diluted the blood on her head and flowed down her hair onto her clothes, leaving only a pool of stains.

The old Marquis knew what had happened and couldn't help but wonder, "I think the most likely person to set up the incense case is the Tang family. Why is your aunt so excited?"

Mrs. Shi and Aunt Wen's hearts jumped at the same time.

Fortunately, Shi Chengxuan said angrily, "You still don't know what this bitch is doing outside! I'm afraid my career will be ruined by this bitch!"

Aunt Wen cast a fearful look at Old Madam Shi, "Aunt, you know this very well. Xing'er's feelings towards Miss Wei..."

"How dare you say that, bitch!" When Shi Chengxuan thought about how hard it was for him to gain face from Mr. Jiang, and how it was immediately ruined, he grabbed the teacup and smashed it.

This time the teacup hit Aunt Wen on the chest with such force that she fell backwards.

But no one cared whether she was injured or not. They only listened to Shi Chengxuan talk about how Tang Chujun planned for him, and it almost happened.

Some details were told to him by Shi Anxia on the carriage. After listening, he added some of his own conjectures and understandings.

He said, "Lord Jiang and Lord Wei are from the same hometown. They knew each other before they entered the officialdom. The wives of the two families are also close friends. The two sisters of the Wei family are both goddaughters of Lord Jiang. Lord Chu knew this and heard that Lord Jiang went to the Wei Mansion, so he asked Sister Xia to inform me while rushing to the Wei family..."

Mrs. Shi pondered for a moment and nodded, "It would be best if Mr. Chu could figure it out. From now on, you and your husband will live in harmony, and with the help of the Duke's Office, you won't have to worry about not getting a chance to get promoted. Sister Xia is really a good girl. Things have come to an end, and I am still thinking about you as a father."

"After all, she is my son's legal wife. If she doesn't support me, who else can she support?" Shi Chengxuan's eyebrows were tinged with pride. Thinking of his daughter's dignified and noble appearance, he felt that the future was brighter. "If Sister Xia hadn't been here today, I wouldn't have been able to have such a pleasant conversation with Lord Jiang. He had already promised to recommend me..."

Shi Chengxuan stayed in the position of head of the Ministry of Etiquette for many years. His colleagues around him were promoted one after another, but he was the only one who remained where he was.

It's not like he hasn't given gifts to others, but Yuan Wai Lang is different from Yuan Wai Lang. Some people are light-weighted, and even after being recommended, they are still rejected.

Only Mr. Jiang, although he was just a member of the Ministry of Rites, had great influence. Recommendations from the Ministry of Personnel are very important, and they can basically succeed. With this promotion, Mr. Jiang is likely to be promoted to the next level and become the youngest doctor of the Ministry of Rites.

Everyone knows this, so Mr. Jiang is very taboo about contact with outsiders, for fear that some people will say that he is selfish.

Shi Chengxuan was heartbroken, "Such a good opportunity was ruined by this bitch!"

Because of his relationship with the old lady, he has been quite good to Aunt Wen over the years, loving her and treating her like an eyebrow.

Moreover, he is usually soft-spoken to his concubine, has a soft ear, and is easy to talk to. I would never call my concubine a "bitch" on the left and a "bitch" on the right.

Especially when he vomited out everything about what happened at the door of the Wei Mansion, he got more and more angry the more he talked about it.

The old Marquis was naturally angry.

But Mrs. Shi was not only angry, but also guilty.

Because she actually knew about this.

On the day when Shi Yunxing's accident happened, she called her servant to inquire. She knew that Xing'er admired the eldest lady of the Wei family and wanted to cook the rice before it was raw, which was why this situation happened.

Aunt Wen was furious at that time, "I must make the eldest lady of the Wei family notorious. Even if she dies, she will be my bride in a ghost marriage!"

Mrs. Shi also agreed with it at that time and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But it was never expected that Wei Zhongshi, a small sixth-grade official, would be involved with Mr. Jiang, who held real power.

If she had known this earlier, she would have stopped her at all costs.

But now it was too late to regret, so I had to ask my son, "Then Xuan'er, is there still a chance to make amends?"

Shi Chengxuan angrily said, "Why do you think your son wants to be a street stick and beat the servants in the mansion? Isn't it just to show Master Jiang? Who knows! Who knows!"

Who knew this bitch would cause trouble again! Why do we owe the people so many copper coins? A talent of ten cents! Couldn't his palace afford it?

Isn't this a deliberate attempt to ruin his official career and the future of the Hou family?

Mrs. Shi said, "Wen Huiyi, I don't care what method you use to cause this matter, it must be resolved within tomorrow."

"No need, the matter has been resolved." Shi Anxia opened the curtain and walked in. There were many unmelted snowflakes on his cloak, and his whole person was filled with a chilly air.
