Chen Wan murmured to herself in her heart, her eyes were sore and she felt a sense of almost heart-wrenching pain, and she felt sorry for her sister and her niece.

How can a person's heart be so vicious? It is said that one can cross the same boat after a hundred years and sleep together after a thousand years. Chu Lingxiao and his elder sister are husband and wife for more than ten years!

Chen Wan held the handkerchief tightly, her eyes were dark.

"elder sister!"

At this time, Gu Zhiyan's soft and crisp voice broke the bitter and slightly depressing atmosphere in the room.

She stood up from Chen Wan and trotted happily towards Chu Qianchen. Her usual dull eyes lit up again.

Gu Zhiyan threw herself on Chu Qianchen's body, and Xiong hugged her slender waist, making Chen Wan feel a little reluctant to look at her.

In addition, Chen Wan couldn't help but feel a little sad. Qi Niang liked Chu Qianchen very much when she first met her in the Marquis' Mansion. Could it be that this is the fate between their cousins?!

Chu Qianchen called out "Qi Niang", rubbed Gu Zhiyan's soft hair, and then took her hand and walked to Shen.

Chu Yunmu, who was following Chu Qianchen, was a little envious. He also wanted to take Chu Qianchen's other hand, and tried his best to suppress it.

He is five years old and is no longer a child!

He put his hands behind him, looking like a little adult.

"Mom." Chu Qianchen first bent his knees and saluted Shen.

Even if she hadn't taken Shen's pulse yet, she could tell from her complexion that she was in good condition these days and was in better shape.

"Sister Chen." Shen took one of Chu Qianchen's hands and smiled happily, wanting to introduce Chu Qianchen to Chen Wan again, "I've seen your aunt soon..."

Shen originally wanted Chu Qianchen to call Aunt Chen Wan's mother, but after speaking halfway, he thought that Prince Jing was King Chen's cousin, and the words came to an abrupt end.

Her expression was a little weird.

Chu Qianchen could also see what Shen was thinking, and smiled and shouted at Chen Wan: "Auntie."

"Sister Chen is so good!" Chen Wan smiled.

Even if she dislikes Chu Lingxiao and Aunt Jiang in her heart, she would not show it at this time, and it would ruin the atmosphere and would not want to stab the pain in the elder sister's heart again.

Chen Wan pulled out a bracelet with eight treasures, gold, and white jade inlaid with mutton fat from her hand, put it on Chu Qianchen's wrist, and smiled and said, "This is the gift of my aunt to you."

Chen Wan didn't mention the past, but just thought that it was the first time she met Chu Qianchen today.

"Thank you aunt." Chu Qianchen accepted it generously.

Shen kept staring at Chu Qianchen with a bright look, reluctant to look away.

She knew that Gu Jue wanted to escort Nan Hao's envoy out of the capital, but because she didn't want to cause trouble for Chu Qianchen, she had been holding back and suppressing her. After all, Chu Qianchen was already a married girl, and whether she could live a good life in the future depends on her husband's family.

King Chen had a good impression of Chu Qianchen. Shen really didn't want to make King Chen unhappy because of these compulsory matters in the Hou Mansion.

When Gu Zhiyan saw Chen Wan giving the bracelet to Chu Qianchen, she also took off her bracelet.

"Meeting gift." She also wanted to wear her gold bracelet on Chu Qianchen's hand, but she was young and could not wear Chu Qianchen's hand at all.

Chu Yunmu was happy, his eyes rolled, and he took off a jade pendant on his waist and stuffed it to Chu Qianchen without hesitation, "A greeting gift."

When Gu Zhiyan was anxious, he untied his golden collar and insisted that Chu Qianchen sit down and put the golden collar on her.

Chu Qianchen felt warm in his heart, and two little guys "joined in the fun". When Duke Mu came to hear the news, he saw this warm scene.

Chen Wan smiled and said to Duke Mu, "Mom, we are giving Sister Chen a gift. Do you want to make up for it?"

Mrs. Mu was eager to give Chu Qianchen some good things, and repeatedly said yes and told the maid to get her jewelry box.

Everyone surrounded Duke Mu and sat down. After seeing each other's greetings, Duke Mu asked carefully: "Sister Chen, can you stay more time today?"

"It's good that my grandmother can just say something. If the prince is not here, I'm fine." Chu Qianchen said with a smile. She was having a lot of time these days.

While observing Chu Qianchen's face, Mrs. Mu said carefully: "Your uncles, aunts, and cousins, they all want to see you."

While speaking, Duke Mu became more and more cautious, fearing that Chu Qianchen would not agree.

There is no rumor about Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang being transferred, but the Shen family almost knows it except for the very young.

However, this incident happened too suddenly. Duke Mu came to his senses and realized that she had not officially introduced Chu Qianchen to her family.

She originally wanted to wait for Shen's body to heal, so they went to Chen Prince's Mansion to talk about this with Chu Qianchen, but Chu Qianchen came today, and she couldn't wait.

Chu Qianchen: "..."

Chu Qianchen's eyelashes swayed slightly, neither saying good nor saying bad.

Mrs. Mu felt that there was a chance to do this, so she advised: "Sister Chen, I know you don't want outsiders to know about this for the time being, so don't worry, today I'm just a family member, your relative's uncle... I guarantee that I will definitely not let outsiders know about it."

Prince Mu and his friends had long wanted to see Chu Qianchen, but they had never had the chance and were not inconvenient to visit Prince Chen's mansion.

The tutoring of Duke Mu's mansion is very strict. Since Duke Mu's wife said that, Chu Qianchen still believes it.

but……

Chu Qianchen's eyes were deep and quiet, and he wisely reminded: "The person I married is King Chen."

Anyone knows that this day has long disliked King Chen. Once he knows that the granddaughter of Duke Mu's mansion has become Princess Chen, he will definitely be dissatisfied and afraid of Duke Mu's mansion. In the future, the career of several uncles and even cousins ​​will be bumpy.

Chu Qianchen just said this, Chen Wan couldn't figure it out, but she was as skilled as Duke Mu's wife, and she understood it as soon as she heard it.

The eldest daughter's heartache sighed in her ears:

"Mom, it's too difficult for Sister Chen to be a child."

"She has a delicate heart with seven orifices and considers everything in every way... but she is not considering herself."

The wife of Duke Mu felt a cramp in her heart.

The eldest daughter is right, Sister Chen is so heartbreaking.

She considered the Shen family, but forgot that the Shen family was her foreign family, and they were all her elders, so they should have supported her as a junior.

Mrs. Mu took Chu Qianchen's hand, patted her, and said, "This is not something you, a child, have to worry about!"

Shen also looked at Chu Qianchen expectantly.

Facing the loving and gentle eyes of Duke Mu and Shen, Chu Qianchen was silent and finally nodded.

Seeing this, Duke Mu was overjoyed and smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, wrinkles squeezed out from the corners of his eyes, and he kept saying, "Good kid! What a good kid!"

Shen and Shen Wan exchanged a look, and the sisters were smiling. Perhaps only Chu Yunmu and Gu Zhiyan couldn't figure out what was going on. The cousins ​​and brothers looked at each other.

Immediately afterwards, Duke Mu asked someone to call back all the sons who were working in the office, as if Chu Qianchen had repent.

The Shen family is a century-old clan, but the family of Duke Mu's mansion is not strong. Chen Zhi's generation only has two legitimate sons, one illegitimate son, and the two sisters Shen Zhi and Shen Wan.

The wife of Duke Mu knew the right way, so she did not intend to notify the Shen family's side branches, and planned to wait for the Chu family to officially open the ancestral hall in the future.

Mrs. Mu was in a good mood and did what she said, shouting everyone to go to the main hall of the inner courtyard together.

Chu Qianchen was still a little confused.

So fast?

She had never dealt with Duke Mu's wife in her previous life. Everything she knew about her came from other people, saying that she was born into a family of men, saying that she was graceful and generous, saying that she was in power and change...

But now, Chu Qianchen felt that there seemed to be some difference between Duke Mu and what she knew.

Her grandmother is really...resolute and decisive.

Shen kept paying attention to Chu Qianchen, seeing what she was thinking, and smiled and said, "Your grandmother, you are impatient and always do whatever you think."

As daughters, Shen and Shen Wan knew their mother's temperament. Chen Wan also talked about the interesting story of Mrs. Mu's wife choosing daughter-in-law back then: "Your grandmother, I went to Prince Li's Mansion to attend a flower viewing banquet, and I will choose your two uncles for both of you."

Mrs. Mu was half serious and half jokingly and said, "A family has a woman and a hundred families to ask for it. If there is a good girl, then you naturally have to move quickly."

She said this to be just to make Chu Qianchen happy.

"Grandma said it was right." Chu Qianchen nodded seriously and couldn't help laughing.

While talking and laughing, the crowd became less unfamiliar and more close.

Mrs. Mu told herself in her heart that she should not be anxious and that this person's feelings should also be cultivated slowly.

After a while, the wife of Prince Mu, brought her sister-in-law and the girls below to come together.

Chu Qianchen had visited the Duke's Mansion three times before, but the first time was more formal. Duke Mu's wife asked her eldest granddaughter Chen Congzhen to take Chu Qianchen to the garden for a walk, and most of the Shen family had never seen her.

Zhengtang became lively because of their arrival.

Everyone couldn't help but glance at Chu Qianchen and looked at her, her eyes unable to hide their curiosity and sigh.

Especially Chen Congzhen's expression is the most complicated.

Last time, Chu Qianchen came to Duke's Mansion, Chen Congzhen was just curious about what the future Princess Chen would look like. He never thought that the next time he met, Chu Qianchen would have another identity besides Princess Chen, who was the biological daughter of her eldest aunt.

Although she had known the news from her grandmother for several days, until now, when Chen Congzhen saw Chu Qianchen sitting next to Shen, she still felt that there was no real feeling.

Although the little girl looked steadfast, she was only in her prime, so she couldn't help but look at Chu Qianchen more.

Chu Qianchen smiled kindly at her, her smile brightly, and Chen Congzhen felt that she was shook her eyes again by this dazzling smile.

The prince's wife and others actually had a lot of things to say, but they were all concerned about Shen and Duke Mu. Instead, no one dared to chase Chu Qianchen and ask more questions, for fear that any words of comfort would stab someone again.

After two more cups of tea, Duke Mu and other men from the Shen family rushed back one after another.

The main hall was full of seats.
