After eight months of separation from his family in Guangzhou Prefecture, Chen Xi finally returned to his home in Beijing to reunite with his relatives.

Chen Xi came back so suddenly that when he knocked on the door, Zhu Shan, who opened the door, reacted for a while, but he could not recognize the man with a beard in front of him with a beard on his face.

After leaving for a long time, Chen Xi was seventeen years old and his body was still in the development stage. He grew taller. Zhu Shan was not very smart. After a while, he shouted in surprise: "Master, Master, Master is back!"

Early in the morning, a maid in the Chen Mansion had already gotten up to do things. Hong'er was cleaning the front yard. When she heard the sound, she came over quickly. Seeing Chen Xi coming back alone and didn't bring anyone, she didn't understand why Chen Xi was so low-key. She thought that Chen Xi would be so proud when she returned home, she should be surrounded by her charming scenery.

"Young Master... Master, come in quickly!"

Hong'er is already a big girl now. She has been working in the Shen family for so many years. She can be said to have witnessed Chen Xi's growth. When she saw Chen Xi, she met her own brother again after a long separation, and was extremely surprised.

Chen Xi strode into the yard, and Zhu Shan followed behind him in a daze. Hong'er reminded: "Xiaoshan, what are you waiting for? Go and report the good news to your wife!"

Zhu Shan blinked and nodded: "Oh, I get it!"

When Zhu Shan ran, it was like a large tonnage beast running. Chen Xi felt the ground trembling, but he clearly felt a familiarity, that this was his home and his family.

Chen Xi just entered the front yard main hall when he heard Zhu Shan shouting from the main courtyard: "The master is back! The master is back..."

After shouting several times, the entire Chen Mansion entered a mess of chaos. Shen Mingjun and Zhou did not live here. Xie Yuner learned that Chen Xi was back, so she didn't bother to call Lin Dai and other women and came to the front yard alone. At this time, she still didn't know that Chen Xi was still alive. When she heard Zhu Shan's greeting, she thought she had heard it wrong.

"My husband?"

Xie Yuner stood at the entrance of the hall and saw Chen Xi sitting upright on the middle-level Grand Master's chair. Xie Yuner's voice trembled constantly. After a while, she called her out and then covered her face and cried.

Chen Xi quickly stood up to greet him, walked forward, trying to bring Xie Yuner into her arms, but Xie Yuner was always a lady from a wealthy family. She knew that she could not hug her in such public occasions.

Xie Yuner cried and said, "My husband, you are finally back! It's so sudden, it's like a dream. I don't know which one is true or which one is false!"

Zhu Shan, who was preparing to make tea, was very curious. Why did his wife act so incompetent?

Chen Xi knew why Xie Yuner had such a fierce reaction. When he led his troops back to Xizhimen, he saw Xie Qian that night, and learned from Xie Qian that the court had reported the mourning to the Chen Mansion. When he entered the mansion, Zhu Shan was completely unaware of the news of his "death". It was obvious that this matter was suppressed by Xie Yuner. He was relieved and heartbroken for a moment. He couldn't help but hold his wife's hand tightly, his face full of regret.

Xie Yuner's pretty face turned red, she wanted to break free from her slender hands but couldn't. She raised her head and looked at Chen Xi, which was just facing Chen Xi's affectionate gaze. She couldn't help but lower her head shyly.

While Shen Xi comforted Xie Yun'er, the three maids Lin Dai, Yin Wen and Lu Xi'er, as well as Xiaoyu, the eldest maid from the Shen Mansion, all came to the front yard. As for the two maids Xiu'er and Lu'er, they stayed at the old house of Xie'er to take care of Shen Mingjun and his wife, and were not in the mansion for the time being.

"Master! Woo woo woo woo woo woo..."

Lin Dai was most excited when she saw Chen Xi. She hugged Chen Xi and cried constantly.

As for other people, she was very surprised when she saw Chen Xi, so only Xiaoyu secretly wiped her tears, then looked at Xie Yun'er. She was also an insider in the matter of Shen Xi's "death".

Lin Dai took Chen Xi's arms exclusively. The girls next to him had no choice but to come over and act coquettishly. Xiaoyu stepped forward and said, "Second Madam, don't be sad. Isn't the master back now?"

Lin Dai cried for a while before asking weakly: "You...are you dead?"

One sentence surprised everyone present.

It turned out that the Shen family knew that it was not only Xie Yuner and Xiaoyu who were the ones who knew about Chen Xi's "death", but Lin Dai did not learn from formal channels, but accidentally listened to the conversation between Xie Yuner and Xiaoyu. Only then did they learn that Lin Dai was also a woman who could hide her worries. Since Xie Yuner didn't say it at home, she hid the bad news in her heart. It was not until today when she saw Chen Xi.

Xie Yuner quickly said, "Sister, what are you talking about? The master is back, but you say these unlucky words. Xiaoshan, go and notify the old lady, the master is back!"

Zhu Shan was stunned for a moment before nodding: "Oh, I understand!"

She was about to go out, Chen Xi reminded: "Take the road on the road, and the capital is martial law, so it is difficult to walk on the road!"

Because of martial law in the capital, even if officials and their families go out during the day, they must take them on the road. This is a privilege enjoyed by officials. If it is an ordinary citizen, no one can go out within an hour of opening the market in the morning and evening. Even if they go out, they must go to the designated trading market and cannot wander around casually.

...

...

When Chen Xi returned home, Xie Hengnu came out the last time, and Xie Hengnu was the one who cried the most sadly.

Since the young girl became pregnant, her husband has never been by her side. Although she has taken care of her good sister Xie Yuner and has good sisters playing on weekdays, as a pregnant woman, what she most hopes for is her husband's care.

Lin Dai cried sadly, while Xie Hengnu cried aggrievedly.

As the head of the family, Chen Xi only saw his wife and children for half a year when he went to war. Naturally, he had to be intimate. But now it was broad daylight and he could not close the door and do some ridiculous things. The only thing he could do at this time was to ask every woman around him and let them know their concerns.

"Master, you don't know that these days when you are not at home, Jun'er misses you in her heart and is always mentioning you!" Xie Yun'er herself was particularly worried about Chen Xi, but at this time she said that Xie Hengnu was actually talking about her own situation.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Since you are back, don't worry about it anymore. Your parents will come here later. Don't cry!"

Xie Yuner gave Chen Xi a blank look and said, "I know, I don't need to remind you!"

While talking, Zhu Shan's voice suddenly came from outside: "Master, it's not good!"

Not long after Zhu Shan went out, Shen Xi thought that he should have come back with Shen Mingjun and his wife, but Zhu Shan reported his worries as soon as he came up, which made Chen Xi feel that something might have happened.

Chen Xi stood up and left the main hall to the yard outside. Zhu Shan hurried in. Before he could breathe, he opened his mouth and said, "Master, the lady is fighting with someone!"

Chen Xi frowned, and before he could say anything, Xie Yuner asked, "Is it the eldest lady?"

Zhu Shan nodded hurriedly.

Chen Xi suddenly was not very adaptable to these names at home, including Xiaoyu's previous name for Mrs. Lin Daier, which made Chen Xi feel a little unfamiliar. Now there is an extra lady. He thought about it carefully and it should be his sister, Chen Yier, the only "lady" in the Shen family.

Chen Xi couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly. My little sister is only eight years old now. How could she fight with someone if she is a little bullshit?

But no matter what, I still have to go to the door to see what the situation is. Zhu Shan was stupid. Chen Xi asked a few questions on the road, but couldn't explain the situation clearly. The general meaning was that Shen Mingjun and his wife asked Zhu Shan to bring Chen Yier over first, and Zhou wanted to dress up and come with her husband and younger son.

Obviously, Chen Yier was not welcomed in Zhou's eyes, and Zhou had a headache with this naughty daughter. When he saw Zhu Shan, he asked the stupid Zhu Shan to take Chen Yier away.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "Who comes to my house and fights with my sister?"

Before the person reached the door, he heard a childish girl's voice: "Tell you, this is my elder brother's home. If you come over again, I will let snakes bite you. Tell you, I have raised many snakes in my elder brother's house. Humph, they are all poisonous snakes! If you bite it, it's hard to save the gods!"

A boy's voice came from the opposite side: "You little girl is so vicious. How dare you release a poisonous snake to bite me? Do you believe it or not, I will chop your head?"

Chen Xi initially thought that her sister was making trouble at the door of the house alone. When she heard the boy's voice, Chen Xi knew that things were not ordinary, so she hurried out. Chen Yi'er felt that there was a "big figure" coming from behind. Instead of turning around, she raised her head and looked at Chen Xi, then she grinned with a delicate little mouth and said with a smile: "Brother, you are here. This bad guy said he was going to enter our house. I'll block him outside!"

Chen Xi looked up and saw Zhu Houzhao standing not far away in disappointment. She didn't dare to walk to Chen Xi's door. She seemed to be frightened by Chen Yi'er, thinking that there were poisonous snakes in Chen Xi's house.

Chen Xi thought to himself: "After all, Zhu Houzhao is only thirteen years old now, and she is still a sixth-grade student in the future. She is still a child!"

“Get out of here!”

Chen Xi shouted at Chen Yi'er.

Chen Yi'er blinked, then a few wrinkles appeared on her little face, as if she was dissatisfied with her elder brother's behavior of helping outsiders. The little girl was about to get angry at Chen Xi with her waist, Zhu Houzhao walked over, looked into the door, looked at Chen Xi and asked, "Mr. Chen, the poisonous snakes you raise in your house... aren't that powerful, right?"

Chen Yi'er shouted, "Hey, you don't believe it, right? Auntie will go in and take out the poisonous snakes for you! Those poisonous snakes will listen to me, so they will bite whoever they want!"

Chen Yi'er was about to rush towards Zhu Houzhao. Obviously, she had Chen Xi as her backer. At this moment, she was not afraid of Zhu Houzhao, a big man, and even prepared to go up and punch.

Chen Xi winked at Xie Yun'er. Xie Yun'er understood the truth and hugged Chen Yi'er in her arms. Chen Yi'er was still dancing her fists in the air and shouted: "Sister-in-law, let me go and let me beat this bad guy away..."

When Chen Yi'er was carried to the yard, Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious that he had never seen such a tantrum in the palace. The dignified Prince of the Ming Dynasty was actually intimidated by a seven-year-old girl.

Chen Xi bowed slightly, and the bento was a salute. He didn't know how the prince came out of the palace, and he thought it would never be the emperor who let him go.

Chen Xi could not reveal the identity of the prince, so he could only give simple etiquette, and then said: "It is not convenient to speak here, so go inside to speak!"

Zhu Houzhao once again confirmed: "Mr. Chen, that poisonous snake..."

Chen Xi said angrily: "Do you believe that girl's nonsense?"
