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

Chapter 23

The middle minister of the Hou Mansion has been in the hands of Aunt Wen all these years, and every house and hospital has to look at her face to act.

In her early years, the old lady never thought of giving the power of running the family to Mr. Tang, but Mr. Tang was unwilling to marry her son.

Moreover, he was a coquettish person. Since he entered the government, he has been hiding in his yard claiming to be sick for three days without seeing anyone.

Mrs. Shi didn't dare to set rules for the Tang family casually.

She is a stepmother herself, and her natal family is somewhat respectable in Ganzhou, but it is not enough when she comes to the capital. How dare you blatantly rub your daughter-in-law to offend the Protectorate?

So even though she had changed her son to someone else over the years, she never regretted it. Sometimes I'm secretly proud of myself, so what if I'm the concubine of the Duke's mansion? Why don't I just let her do what I want?

But now the situation is different, the competition for the title is imminent; resetting her fate is the best way she can think of to break the situation.

If some unsighted people like Mother Chen casually spread the word at this juncture that their Hou Mansion is actually managed by an unworthy aunt, not only will the son's career be affected, but how will the Hou Mansion retain its reputation?

What's even more terrifying is that someone with ulterior motives reported that he favored his concubine over his wife. The current emperor attaches great importance to etiquette and law... The consequences are unimaginable.

Mrs. Shi's mind suddenly rang.

Seeing that her granddaughter, who was usually quiet and discreet, was doing things that were quite in line with her wishes and that everything was done to her heart, she thought, "Sister Xia, in a blink of an eye, you are fourteen years old. You will have hairpins next year." Later, it’s the time of marriage. Now, the middle prince of our Marquis Mansion will be handed over to you for the time being. How about you also learn to be a housekeeper?"

Aunt Wen couldn't believe what she heard, "Aunt, how old is Sister Xia? She's still a child. What kind of house can she take care of?"

An almost invisible trace of laxity escaped from the corners of Shi Anxia's lips.

Thinking about the coldness of the Imperial City, the former harem, and even the entire North Wing country, she once held it at her fingertips. What does a mere prince's mansion mean?

She looked down on the Hou Mansion, but she didn't want Aunt Wen to get an advantage. Besides, this is a gift she will give to her eldest aunt sooner or later, why not?

Then he stood up and gave the old lady a gentle blessing, "My granddaughter, it is better to obey my orders than to be respectful."

Mrs. Shi looked at her granddaughter who was not surprised by the favor and humiliation, and felt very comforted.

With such courage, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a good husband? The position of Princess Jin is currently vacant, but it is not unthinkable.

When Shi Anxia left He'an Courtyard, she saw Mother Chen kneeling on the ground and turned into a snowman. She sighed softly, "Mother Chen, why are you doing this? Isn't it good to kneel in Mingsongtang? You have to kneel in this ice and snow." . I feel sorry for your inconvenient legs and feet, but you don’t appreciate it.”

Mother Chen also regrets it. If I had known this, I might as well have gone to Mingsong Hall and knelt down honestly. At least there was a soft futon there, and there was no need to get wet in the snow.

She was filled with anger in her chest, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.

She was angry that the old lady was so heartless. When she got angry, she would reveal those shady things to see who would suffer!

Shi Anxia turned a blind eye to the dark light flashing in Chen's mother's eyes, and turned her peripheral vision to Nan Yan who was following beside her.

She saw Nan Yan walking past Mother Chen without any strange look.

No care, no sympathy whatsoever.

Shi Anxia felt relieved, presumably Chen Jinfu hadn't had time to talk sweetly at this time. She had to keep an eye on this silly girl, lest she lose her life by mistake.

Nan Yan was focused on their girl right now, and he was so happy at the moment, "The old lady is actually willing to hand over the power of the family to the girl!"

Shi Anxia smiled and said, "Silly girl, it's not that easy. I can't leave this family in my hands."

"The old lady said it just now." Nan Yan murmured, "Is it possible that I can still regret it?"

Mother Zheng smiled and said, "What you old lady said on impulse is not to be taken seriously. When she calms down, she will think about it again and again. Just watch."

Nan Yan pouted, "Oh. I think our girl is the most suitable person to run the business."
