Reborn with super powers: The general wants to repay his kindness

After returning to the Hou Mansion, Nanny Chen talked about Huo Jia and what happened after Li. "...The Xingchang Hou Mansion had to withdraw the letter of divorce, and the two families had to sit down to discuss the matter of reconciliation. Who made the second young master Xiao do something so unethical? He was caught alone with Princess Qi in front of so many people. We met in the carriage, but I heard that Second Young Master Xiao firmly disagreed with the divorce and even clamored for Miss Huo to go back and serve him."

Yu Cheng smiled when he heard this: "It's no wonder Miss Huo doesn't like him. She used to be obedient, but when she got home and had a guard of honor, she started to boss around. But how could this family relationship be achieved in the first place?"

As the queen's confidant, Nanny Chen naturally knew a lot about the affairs of nobles outside the palace.When Yu Cheng asked about it, he said: "The second young master Xiao from the Xingchang Hou Mansion has a good appearance. Although I think he is too delicate and not as heroic as a man, I can't resist the fact that some ladies like such a man."

Hearing what Nanny Chen said, Yu Cheng also thought of the man rolling out of the carriage he saw during the day. Although the man looked embarrassed at that time, he could still tell that he did have a good appearance.Looking so beautiful, it would be an understatement to say that he is a woman disguised as a man.

"Second Young Master Xiao has a handsome appearance and a sweet talk that can coax people. At that time, the young lady of the Huo family was also confused and insisted on marrying him. The Xingchang Marquis Mansion also took a fancy to the Huo family's status in the army, so they wanted to take advantage of it. This was how they got married, but not long after they got married, they started to fall out."

"Ms. Huo has used all kinds of methods in the past few years, but the second son of the Xiao family is born with such a temper. How can he change his addiction to flowers so easily? In addition, the mother of the second son is also a spoiled child. The Huo family The young lady wanted to make Mr. Xiao less at ease, but her mother-in-law blamed Miss Huo for being too cruel and would not let her spoil her son. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also started to make trouble, and everything was going crazy in the Hou Mansion. . In addition, Miss Huo's family has not had any children in the past few years of marriage, and her mother-in-law is making noises about bringing a concubine into the house for her second son. Seeing that the Huo family is so determined to divorce this time, I am afraid that she knows that Mrs. Hou has already Privately, we have a good impression of her and are ready to carry her into the house. Whose sister was not raised in the palm of her hand? How can the Huo family watch their sister suffer this injustice? "

Yu Cheng will pay attention to Xingchanghou Mansion, in addition to today's events, it is also because Xingchanghou Mansion is also related to Xiao Heng, and Grandma Chen also knows about it.

The current Marquis of Xingchang and the previous Marquis of Xingchang are biological brothers. There was discord between the brothers before they ascended the throne. In the end, the brothers inherited the title, and Xiao Heng, the son of the previous Marquis of Xingchang, became the most embarrassing existence. .

Logically speaking, it is his biological son Xiao Heng who should inherit the title, not his younger brother. However, the cause of death of the previous Xingchang Marquis is unknown. Xiao Heng was young at the time, and his mother adopted him despite his illness in order to find a way out for her son. , and then passed away.

At that time, people in the capital did not doubt what methods the current Marquis of Xingchang used to kill his biological eldest brother and force his widowed sister-in-law to death. Otherwise, why would he force his son to adopt him and completely break away from the Xingchang Marquis' mansion?

After Xiao Heng, who lost his parents, was adopted, his life in the clan was not satisfactory.According to the Sixth Prince, he was often bullied by his clan members under the command of the current Marquis of Xingchang. It was not until Xiao Heng got to know the Sixth Prince that his situation improved. The Sixth Prince recommended Xiao Heng to follow Lu Yanzhao.

"This Marquis of Xingchang is quite capable. He used to hold the post of a third-rank official, but he was demoted one level due to some involvement in the previous incident. He has two sons, and the second son is the one we saw today. The eldest son..."

Before she could finish speaking, Grandma Chen stopped talking when she saw Lu Yanzhao coming in, and Xiao Heng was following behind Lu Yanzhao.

Lu Yanzhao walked into the room and said to Cheng, "Xiao Heng wants to come over and see you."

Xiao Heng, who was becoming more and more cold-spoken and cold-faced like Lu Yanzhao's usual demeanor, became much more relaxed after seeing Yu Cheng.Xiao Heng has always felt guilty that he did not discover the third prince's intention earlier in Beijing, which put Yu Cheng in danger.Now that I see that Yu Chengzhen is fine, I finally feel relieved.

Yu Cheng greeted him with a smile and said, "Since you're here, let's have dinner together tonight!"

Xiao Heng's expression was gentle and he nodded: "Okay."

When we sat down at the dinner table, not only Xiao Heng, but also the Sixth Prince and Shang Yilan came running over, and even Guo Liang came to join in the fun.

Seeing such a complete set of people, Yu Cheng remembered that there were these people when she was in Zhengyang Village, but at that time she did not expect that there would be such a scene today, and she and Lu Yanzhao even had children.

In the evening, Lu Yanzhao washed Yu Cheng's feet, helped her lie down on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and went out to wash herself before coming back late.

Yu Cheng was a little more tired than usual today. When Lu Yanzhao went to bed, she was already a little confused, but when she saw Lu Yanzhao coming back, she became more awake. "Before you and Xiao Heng came over today, Grandma Chen happened to mention the eldest son of Xingchang Marquis to me, but she stopped talking when she saw you guys coming."

Lu Yanzhao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Yu Cheng would mention this matter. He pulled Yu Cheng into his arms and said, "You mean Xiao Zhengtong? He used to be a royal guard and was sent to serve the third prince. The third prince After something happened to the prince, everyone in the palace was questioned. Fortunately, Na Xiao Zhengtong was sent by His Majesty, so he just lost his job. However, Xingchang Hou was demoted one level because the third prince was implicated. Xingchang Hou is now I was trying to find a new job for my son, but I didn’t expect that his second son would be holding me back, so it might be difficult.”

Yu Cheng blinked and his mind became clearer: "So Xingchanghou is on the team of the third prince? What about the Huo family?"

Lu Yanzhao stroked her back and said, "On the surface, Xingchang Hou and the third prince don't have a close relationship, so this time we just demoted him one level to settle matters."

Now that everyone inside and outside the Third Prince's Mansion has been replaced by His Majesty, he may not have a chance to leave the Mansion. And his heirs may wait until His Majesty is in a better mood and take care of them, but they are doomed. A chance to get ahead.

Lu Yanzhao continued: "Mr. Huo is a close confidant of His Majesty. Miss Huo, who married into the Marquis of Xingchang, is Mr. Huo's old daughter and has always been favored. That's why he followed her wishes and married into the Xiao family. Otherwise, Huo I am afraid that the old man is not willing to associate with someone like Xingchang Hou at all."

"Mr. Huo has a fierce temper, and Miss Huo is very similar to him. Mr. Huo once got into a fight with an official in the court if he had a disagreement. The censors collectively tried to interfere with him, but His Majesty was obviously protecting him, so it stopped. Yes. However, Mr. Huo has been favored by His Majesty for decades, and I am afraid that it is not just his straight-tempered nature that appears on the outside."

"Has Xiao Heng ever thought about taking back his title?" Yu Cheng asked curiously.
