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

Chapter 927

At that time, Chen Jikang was still obsessed with Cen Yuan. He had just been promoted to a noble title and was very obedient, not daring to move at all.

Although most of the people he made friends with privately reported to Cen Yuan, he was extremely cautious when it came to the Li family.

Neither too close nor too far, be vague in words and ambiguous in attitude.

The reason for this, of course, was that the Li family came to him in the name of the Queen Mother.

At that time, Cen Yuan and Shi Anxia had not yet married, and the Queen Mother hoped that he, as their adoptive father, would forcibly break up their marriage.

But only those who have suffered know. Can he break up that marriage? And he wants to break up the marriage by force. What can he do?

Chen Jikang wanted to do that, but his words were useless.

Not only did the adopted son not listen to him at all, but he still had to flatter him, pamper him, and speak in accordance with his will.

Even so, he still failed to raise his adopted son.

The adopted son was too ruthless. He not only took the silver back, but also cut off his supply of goods.

At this time, Chen Jikang thought of the Li family and the Queen Mother, and then happily established the connection.

The Li family questioned him in detail, and he told them everything he knew and didn't know.

Li Changfeng was very disgusted at the time, "We have already checked what you said. Is there any other more useful information?"

Only then did Chen Jikang realize that he actually knew nothing about his adopted son.

At this time, he took Li Changfeng to meet Lu Sangyu.

Chen Jikang lingered outside the door for as long as the two men talked behind closed doors.

It was already five o'clock in the morning when the curfew was lifted, and Lu Sangyu took his mother away from Baron Chen's mansion.

When he left, Chen Jikang personally saw him out of the mansion and said a lot of nice things to him.

Lu Sangyu didn't say a word, but just glanced meaningfully at the plaque of the Chen Mansion, thinking that it was almost hanging unstable.

The carriage clattered along the long, desolate street, and the sound of horse hooves was particularly loud.

Mrs. Lu was tired after a whole day, but she was not sleepy at this moment. She pulled her son's arm and whispered in his ear, "Sang Yu, I feel something is not right."

"Hmm?" Lu Sangyu lowered her head patiently and put her ear closer to her mother. "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Lu looked around cautiously and pointed at the driver outside, "Can that man hear it?"

Seeing her mother acting mysterious, Lu Sangyu whispered, "Speak softly."

Mrs. Lu thought about it, then hesitantly whispered in her son's ear, "A kidnapper told me not to be afraid, and he said he would protect me."

After listening to this, Lu Sangyu smiled and nodded to indicate that he understood.

He raised his voice and said, "Mom, we'll be home soon, don't be afraid."

Then he opened the oil paper wrapped around the peanut candy in his sleeve, took out a piece, and handed it to his mother, "Eat one first to calm your nerves. I'll go back and cook you a bowl of noodles later."

Mrs. Lu reached out to grab the peanut candy, but found nothing.

The peanut candy fell directly from Lu Sangyu's fingers into her mouth.

She was stunned for only a moment, but soon got used to it, "Where did you get the peanut candy?"

"I bought it." Lu Sangyu didn't want to say more, fearing that if he said too much, it would make her worry.

He lowered his brows and turned his gaze away from his mother's still beautiful face, but he was unwilling to move his body at all. He just snuggled up to his mother like he did when he was a child.

He thought that if they could depend on each other as mother and son for the rest of their lives, it would not be impossible for him to accept it.

Ever since Lu Sangyu won the second place in the imperial examination, his door has been frequently visited by matchmakers.

There is an endless stream of people looking for marriage proposals and visiting each other.

The most amazing thing is that his mother was very enthusiastic about helping him choose a wife. She kept talking about which girl was pretty and which girl was lucky. She really treated him like her own son and prepared a marriage for him.

But he had no interest in marriage and had no plans to get married.
