When the thief came, she deliberately rushed to the scumbag father and acted to save him, but in fact she was ambushing her "foul-production"?

But, the question is, how did "An" know which thieves will come to cause trouble? And how could she be just right - not only achieve the goal, but also prevent the thieves from hurting themselves?

Is it just her natural divine power?

This seems to make no sense.

Could it be the An family?

Chen Xiong just thought of this possibility, so he vetoed it himself!

Although Chen Xiong suspected that "An" was not as stupid as she acted, he would not naively think that "An" had the courage to buy murder.

Oh, no, "An" has the courage, but she is just an inner-house woman. No matter how careful she is, she will leave some traces.

Yang Feng is not a mediocre person. On the contrary, he is quite good at investigating, criminal prisons and other matters.

He praised Yang Feng as a real capable official at home. "An" listened all day long and should know this.

So, as long as she is not stupid, she will not dare to do these things.

Then the government "followed the clues" and found the bandits in the south of the city, which seemed to confirm Chen Xiong's speculation-those thieves had nothing to do with the "An family"!

Yes, but since it has nothing to do, how did "An" prepare in advance and make perfect use of this matter?

Also, is she really stupid or is she pretending to be stupid?

Chen Xiong's thoughts were confused again, and he was stunned and didn't care what Annie said for a moment.

"I am destined to be unable to have my own biological flesh and blood in this life, but I have Ning'er, Xiong'er."

Annie caressed Chen Ning and said softly, "I will raise you well and teach you that when you grow up, you will be filial to me, right?"

Chen Ning was precocious, but she was just a child after all.

And she was trapped in the inner house all day long, and no one taught her, and her knowledge and thoughts were limited.

She was like a simple piece of white paper. After she faded her fear of her stepmother, what was left was full of dependence and gratitude for her stepmother.

After hearing Annie's words, Chen Ning nodded vigorously, "Mother, don't worry, my brother and I will definitely be filial to you!"

Speaking of this, Chen Ning seemed to think of something and pointed at Chen Xiong, "I have my younger brother, let him study hard in the future, take the imperial examinations like his father, and become a high-ranking official."

"When he becomes an official, he can ask his mother for an imperial edict. By then, the mother will not have to be afraid of anyone!"

Chen Ning also heard these words from his grandmother.

What Niu thought about was that his son could make his name, his son would be the slaughter of the officials, and his mother would become the grand grand lady and completely get rid of her identity as a civilian woman!

Although Chen Ning did not grow up with Niu, he couldn't resist Niu's words every day. After hearing too much, he would remember some of it.

"Xiong'er, are you saying I'm right?"

After Chen Ning finished speaking those words, he saw that his younger brother was still stupid, so he quickly kicked his younger brother under the table.

Ah? Chen Xiong was startled and came back to his senses. He realized what his own sister had promised.

The side sister was still looking at her, waiting for her to speak.

"Xiong'er? You will study hard. After becoming a high-ranking official, you will also ask your mother for an imperial edict, right?"

Chen Ning was afraid that his younger brother was young and still hated his stepmother, so he said something that made his stepmother unhappy or even sad.

She winked at Chen Xiong desperately.

Chen Xiong:...

What else can he do?

He could only pinch his nose and nodded with a forced smile, "Yes! As long as my mother takes good care of us and truly loves us, I will definitely be filial to my mother in the future!"

After all, he was unwilling to give up. His alliance with the "An family" is just driven by the situation and driven by interests.

This does not mean that he will forget all the things in his previous life.

He also thought that when he was able to do something, he would deal with his stepmother himself and fulfill his long-cherished wish in his previous life!

He never thought about what kind of filial piety is to be granted the title of imperial edict.

But now, he was forced by his sister and his stepmother was watching him fiercely, Chen Xiong could only respond against his will, but he still said a prerequisite--the "An family" must be nice to them before they can give back to the "An family".

“That’s natural.”

Annie seemed to have received some promise and was surprised.

Her voice was trembling, "Your father often said that fathers are kind and filial to the sons. The meaning of this is that elders should be kind to the younger generation, and they will be filial to the elders later-"

As she said that, Annie remembered something again, and a look of guilt appeared on her face, "I was instigated by someone in the past and did something wrong. I will never do this in the future."

She looked at the two children with anticipation, and her voice was even more pleading, "Ning'er, Xiong'er, I already know I'm wrong, I should do it in the future. Are you willing to forgive me?"

Before Chen Xiong could say anything, Chen Ning nodded first and said, "I'm willing, Xiong'er and I are willing."

As he said that, Chen Ning did not forget to greet his younger brother, "Xiong son, tell your mother quickly, we have never blamed our mother. In the future, we will listen carefully to our mother and be filial to our mother!"

Chen Ning's eager statement was actually a little scheming.

Although she chose to believe in her stepmother, she didn't really forget all the abuse she had suffered.

Now that the stepmother finally released her kindness, Chen Ning instinctively wanted to catch her. Her idea was straightforward. As long as the stepmother was not targeting them, they were willing to reconcile with the stepmother.

Chen Ning didn't dare to ask his stepmother to treat them like their own flesh and blood, but as long as the stepmother stopped abused them, they would say something good in front of the stepmother, or even swear, Chen Ning would be willing.

Chen Ning was afraid that his younger brother would not understand these things, and that he would offend his stepmother in an impulse and destroy all this, so he tried his best to urge Chen Xiong.

He was a human being for two lifetimes and had been ups and downs in the officialdom. Chen Xiong could not see his sister's little plot.

He felt sad and felt extremely distressed in his sister.

"Yes, mother, my sister and I are willing!" Chen Xiong sniffed and forced himself to endure the sourness in his eyes.

"I knew you were all good kids."

Annie was satisfied and reached out to wrap her two children in her arms, "With you, even if I don't have any biological flesh and blood, I don't have any regrets, let alone fear the little Yang family!"

"Mother, I always feel that Yang is not a good match."

Chen Xiong was still uneasy and always felt that something was about to happen.

The subsequent facts proved that Chen Xiong's premonition was very effective.

Now, Yang quickly entered the Shen family's door. Although he was a concubine and was still "joking with joy", Yang was very grand when he entered the door.

The thirty-two-carrying dowry almost blinded Niu's eyes.

There are four dowry maids and two houses, and there are more than a dozen people in total, which is even more than the servants of the entire Shen family.

Everyone did not blame Yang's style too much. There was nothing they could do, they were noble girls from a noble family.

If you hadn't had a strange disease, Chen Jieyuan, a "rainbow-like" person, came to "joy joy". Not to mention coming to be a concubine, they would not even be able to carry the sedan chair.

I have already been wronged and become a concubine. Can't I let my family bring more dowry? After all, there is no provision for etiquette and law, and the concubines cannot have dowry.

The prefect Yang, who accompanied the dowry, was not attacked by scholars, but gained a good reputation for loving love.

Alas, for the sake of a niece, the prefect Yang asked his wife to come forward to plead and paid for the dowry. It was truly a kindness and righteousness.
