At the beginning, Chu Lingxiao was taken down by Kang Hongda for "collusion with bandits and intention to rebel", and the Chu family was also investigated. Now Kang Hongda has been convicted of death, and Chu Lingxiao, as a "poor person" who suffered "unjustice", was acquitted.

He was imprisoned for more than ten days and was still a little confused. The prison head just said to him, "You can leave now", without saying a word.

When he returned to the Chu family, he found that all the imperial guards surrounding the Chu family had retreated, and he walked in smoothly.

Chu Lingxiao's return made everyone in the house overjoyed and rushed to leave.

"The master is back!"

"Madam, the master is back safely!"

When the news reached Rongfu Hall, the lady was ecstatic and ran out to greet the people in person, holding the eldest son's hand and then stopped letting go.

The mother and son walked towards Chu Lingxiao's outer study, walking along the way and talking along the way.

"Lingxiao, you are back, mom can finally feel relieved." The lady smiled so hard that she couldn't stop, as if she had suddenly become several years younger. As she spoke, she began to feel sorry for her eldest son again, "You have lost weight and are haggard!"

"Mother, how are your family recently?" Chu Lingxiao asked anxiously, "Why am I released?"

As soon as he came back, he felt that the atmosphere at home was different. He swept away the gloom of the past, as if the snow was returning, which made Chu Lingxiao wonder: Could it be that Chu Yunyi passed Kang Hongda, so he was fine?

"Okay, everything is fine at home. Now it's so hard and sorrowful!" The lady's smile on her face became deeper, with deep wrinkles on the corners of her eyes and lips. "Don't you know the death of the emperor?"

"What, the emperor has passed away?!" Chu Lingxiao really didn't know, his voice rose three points.

Wherever his eyes were, from people to things, they were all very simple, but he only thought that it was because Chu Lingyu's mourning period had not passed, but he did not expect it was a national mourning.

The lady winked at Madam Wang, who just sent the maids and the mothers to make it easier for them to speak.

The lady was so happy that she told her eldest son that Gu Jue led the Xuanjia Army to force the palace.

Previously, there was no conclusion about this matter, and the lady dared not be happy too early, let alone show off. However, now, the late emperor has been buried, and the prince was seriously injured by the late emperor. There is no news yet. Gu Jue has been in charge of the overall situation in the palace since the day he forced the palace, which means that Gu Jue is most likely to ascend the throne.

Seeing that the eldest son came back today, the lady felt more and more that her guess was correct, whether their Chu family was finally in a state of great prosperity.

She pulled Chu Lingxiao and talked endlessly, and recalled the future: "Lingxiao, King Chen is the son-in-law of our Chu family. If he can ascend the throne smoothly, then our Chu family can at least be named Chenggong."

"I thought about it carefully. Even if King Chen does not ascend the throne, he will definitely support the second prince to take office. Then the Chu family is the emperor's foreign family!" Concubine Chu was the empress dowager, which means that Chu Lingxiao, as the empress dowager's brother, could still be granted the title of Duke.

"Now even the second bedroom is honest!"

Speaking of the second wife, the grandmother inevitably thought of the second son Chu Lingyu who died young. She felt a little distressed, but also annoyed Liu, and frowned: "Liu and Ling Jie'er are shallow-eyed. During the days when you were taken away by Kang Hongda's people, the mother and daughter were having trouble every day. Later, they saw that King Chen was in power, and then they calmed down. Just wait for our Chu family to rise, and the second wife could also ascend to heaven."

Recently, the Chu family has been united unprecedentedly, and the three and four illegitimate families have come to her every day to fulfill their filial piety, and the Madam's life has also improved.

Chu Lingxiao was locked in prison for the past few days, his ears and eyes were blocked, and he had no idea what was going on outside. Now, when the Madam told him, his emotions were also affected, turning from shock to surprise, and he was still a little unbelievable after hearing this.

"Mother, what you said is true?" Chu Lingxiao looked at the lady out of the mood and couldn't help pinching her thigh. The pain told him that this was not a dream.

"Can I joke about this?" The lady also felt that this incident was really unexpected, and she still occasionally felt that there was no realism.

She calmed down and said softly: "Lingxiao, listen to Wei Niang's advice, hurry up and coax Azhi back. Also, Sister Chen's surname must be changed back."

"Jess Chen is a member of the Chu family and the legitimate daughter of the Chu family. How can he get a surname from another family? Do you think this is the case?"

Indeed, Chu Lingxiao was thinking thoughtfully.

If Gu Jue ascended the throne, Chen Qianchen would be the queen; if Gu Jue would not ascend the throne, he would at least be a regent.

In any case, Chen Qianchen must be "Chu Qianchen". Otherwise, when outsiders hear her surname, they will be afraid that she will be in conflict with the Chu family...

The matter of changing surnames is urgent.

However, he felt a little embarrassed when he asked Chu Lingxiao to bow his head to Chen Zhi and beg her for forgiveness.

Chu Lingxiao still remembers the last time he saw Chen Zhi and Pei Linye outside Shen’s house, and Pei Linye clearly had a different intention to Chen Zhi.

Whenever Chu Lingxiao thinks of the scenes at that time, he feels green on his head and holds his breath.

That time, he asked someone to cut the door of Chen's house to scare Chen Zhi and then coax her, but Chen Zhi actually got involved with Pei Linye, which disappointed him so much.

Even a man can't stand being cuckolded!!

Chu Lingxiao couldn't swallow this breath, and his heart was filled with jealousy. He really wanted to soak Chen Zhi and Pei Linye in the pig cage together.

And so is Mu Ge'er. He is so close to Pei Linye. Is he going to recognize the thief as his father?!

"I won't go." Chu Lingxiao said awkwardly.

Let Chu Lingxiao bow down to Chen Zhi, which would cost him half his life.

Chu Lingxiao regretted marrying Chen Zhi for some time. If it weren't for Chen Zhi, his life wouldn't have been like this!

The lady was also having a headache, but thinking that her family was not able to make ends meet now and even her family business had sold a lot, she could only make up her heart: "Lingxiao, you are so adult, you must consider it for our Chu family."

"Now King Chen will most likely ascend the throne in every ten years, and the glory of our Chu family is near. Are you willing to let the Shen family rob the scenery that should have belonged to the Chu family?!"

"Don't forget, Sister Chen secretly hugged Min Shan. Now she still has resentment towards you, her father..."

When he heard the word "resentment from Ai", Chu Lingxiao stopped in anger and said angrily: "She dares?!"

"I'm her biological father!"

"If she dares to be unfilial to me, she will wait for impeachment by the envoy."

The great Qi values ​​filial piety, which means that the father kills his son and his daughter, and that is also the one who should be reflected on is the unfilial children.

He carried Chen Qianchen to Jiang Minshan, but so what?

He is her father, and he has the final say for whom he wants to carry her to.

This is family affairs, and even Jingzhao Mansion cannot take care of the family affairs of their Chu family.

To put it bluntly, if this girl hadn't become a concubine's daughter, the late emperor would not have issued an order to give her to King Chen, and her blessing today would not have been because of herself!!

The more Chu Lingxiao thought about it, the more he felt that it was, and straightened his back.

The lady rubbed her eyebrows tiredly and said tiredly, "Lingxiao, don't forget that Sister Chen is no longer named Chu."

The name Chen Qianchen is no longer in the Chu family genealogy, which makes things a little troublesome.

Chu Lingxiao: “…”

Seeing Chu Lingxiao speechless, the lady patiently coaxed him: "Lingxiao, what you did hurt Azhi and Chen Jie'er's hearts too much. Now you have to coax Azhi back first. If Azhi is coaxed, Chen Jie will also be on your side for her mother."

"Now this is not your own business, it is related to the entire Chu family!"

"As long as Azhi and Chen Jie'er can come back, are you still afraid that you will have no errands in the future? King Chen is now at the moment of hiring people!"

When Chu Lingxiao heard about his job, he was moved.

As the Grand Lady said, the court is now at the time when the old and new changes. Many civil officials in the court are the confidants of the late emperor. Gu Jue cannot use these people with confidence. In other words, the court will inevitably usher in a wave of great purge.

As King Chen’s father-in-law, he naturally has an advantage. He can’t watch the Shen family snatch the things that originally belonged to him, right?!

Chu Lingxiao gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, mom, I'll take Chen Zhi back tomorrow... but I'm worried that she won't come back..."

After more than ten years of marriage, Chu Lingxiao also has some understanding of Chen Zhi's stubborn temper.

Chen Zhi is a domineering person, and she can't stand the sand in her eyes. Unlike Min Shan, who is not like him, only him in her heart...

Thinking of Jiang Minshan, Chu Lingxiao's heart swayed and his expression softened.

The lady didn't pay attention to Chu Lingxiao's soul flying outside the sky, and said confidently: "You just don't understand the woman's heart!"

"This mother is her lifeblood. If it weren't for Sister Chen, Azhi wouldn't have divorced you!"

"Now, for Sister Chen, she will be soft-hearted and will consider everything for Sister Chen. Think about it, you can't be the mother of the country in the dynasty, and your parents are separated, right? Do you think King Chen can afford to be so shameful?"

"Maybe because Sister Chen is born with a flaw and has a bad reputation, King Chen wants to make her a queen."

These words were not only used to persuade Chen Zhi, but also the Madam herself thought so.

Therefore, it is not too late to do this matter. If King Chen really destroys Chen Qianchen and establishes a new new product, then the wealth of their Chu family will be greatly reduced.

Chu Lingxiao thought about it and felt that it was the reason. He was a little anxious and quickly stood up and said, "Mom, then I'll go find Azhi now."

"Wait!" The lady quickly reached out and grabbed him, feeling relieved, "You have just come back today. Have a good rest first, then clean up yourself, and go tomorrow."

While talking, the mother and son arrived at the door of Chu Lingxiao's outer study room and stopped under the eaves.

The eldest lady looked up and down at the eldest son and couldn't help but sigh.

The robe Chu Lingxiao was wearing was already dirty and torn, with a black stubble on his face, greasy hair, and as if he was crawling out of the rotten vegetables overnight, which was no different from the beggars on the street.

If Chu Lingxiao looked like this, the grandmother would be afraid of being self-defeating.

So, Madam Wang hurriedly ordered the maid to prepare a bathtub, hot water, etc. for Chu Lingxiao.

The lady hesitated for a while and said cruelly: "When you see Azhi, you told her that the title will be passed to Brother Mu in the future."

"If it really doesn't work, just adopt Brother Yi."

"Mom!" Chu Lingxiao blurted out in shock. Chu Yunyi was his favorite son.

After saying that, the lady relaxed and said earnestly: "Lingxiao, do you still remember your fourth uncle's brother Chu Lingxiang? He is almost forty years old and has no descendants. He has always wanted to adopt a child. Why not adopt Brother Yi out?"

"..." Chu Lingxiao's face was not very good-looking.

The lady continued: "You know that Azhi's heart has always been Yi Ge'er and Huang Jie'er, so let's adopt their siblings together. From now on, this title will of course be Mu Ge'er."

"In this way, Azhi will be relieved."

In the eyes of the Grandma, Chu Lingxiao and Chen Zhi already have children and daughters, and they are almost thirty years old. In fact, they are over the age of jealousy. As long as they can protect the interests of their children, Chen Zhi will naturally take a step back.
To be continued...
