After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

When it was almost noon, I saw Ah Fu hobbling back with two bunches of candied haws in his hand. As soon as he entered the door, he first asked Wang Ma:

"Wang Ma, have you seen the young master come back?"

Wang Ma pointed to their room and said to Ah Fu:

"He's back. Not only is the young master back, he also brought someone back."

Jiang Chen was in the room and walked out after hearing Ah Fu's voice.

Seeing Jiang Chen standing in front of him unscathed, Ah Fu quickly stepped forward and said to him:

"Master, as long as you come back safely, I'm afraid you might get into a fight with that horse thief. Is the horse coming back?"

Jiang Chen first took a bunch of candied haws from his hand, took a bite, and said to him with a smile:

"I'm here now, can the horses come back? Don't worry, those two horses are in the stable."

Ah Fu took a deep breath and said:

"It's good to come back. I was worried all the way. You don't know, the man who covered his master's escape was killed by those people in public, and even the people patrolling the city were alarmed. "

As soon as Ah Fu finished speaking, he heard a thump coming from the room.Jiang Chen hurriedly turned around and walked into the house, and Ah Fu also walked in shortly after.

Seeing Fan Yaoren already lying on the ground, Jiang Chen quickly squatted down and was about to help him onto the bed.

Fan Yao asked Ah Fu eagerly:

"Did the person who followed me really be killed by those people?"

Ah Fu recognized Fan Yao in front of him at a glance. He pointed at him and said to Jiang Chen:

"Master, isn't he the one who robbed our horse? Why is he in our house?"

Before Jiang Chen could explain to him, Fan Yao said to Ah Fu again:

"Brother, was the person you said killed just now the guard who was with me? Was he really killed by those people?"

Ah Fu looked at his expectant eyes and said:

"Yes, after you ran away, how could he be the opponent of those people alone? After a few rounds, he died. I watched with my own eyes the people from the patrol camp carrying his body away. .”

As soon as Ah Fu finished speaking, Fan Yao burst into tears and said to Jiang Chen:

"Those two guards have been following me for many years. They were loyal to me, and now they have both lost their lives here. I am really sorry for them."

Jiang Chen saw his injured look and said to him;

"When a soldier dies for his confidant, they have fulfilled their duty. If he didn't hold back those people who were chasing him, how could you have escaped from those people's hands even though you were injured? I don't think you will It’s better to be careful, because if they can’t catch you, they probably won’t let it go.”

While they were talking, someone suddenly shouted outside:

"Excuse me, is this Young Master Jiang Chen's home?"

Jiang Chen and Ah Fu hurriedly walked to the courtyard and said to the man:

"I am, who are you?"

The visitor immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Chen.Jiang Chen said to him with a confused look:

"You are..."

The man handed Jiang Chen a letter and said:

"This is a letter my young master has given you. Please read it to Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Chen stepped forward to take the letter and read it. It turned out that it was written to him by Liu Huaian.The general meaning is that Mrs. Liu passed away in the early morning.Just because he was on good terms with Jiang Chen, he specially sent someone to report his funeral.

After Jiang Chen read the letter and knew the whole story, he sent the messenger.

Jiang Chen came to the upper room and told his mother about the death of Mrs. Liu.

Liu Susu said to him:

"I really didn't expect that Mrs. Liu would also go with the Duke of Guo. Life is really unpredictable. You are good friends with the young master Huai'an of Liu Mansion, so he wrote a letter to inform you. With the relationship between Jiang Mansion and Liu Mansion, , Liu Mansion will definitely go to the Hou Mansion to report the funeral. Last time when the Duke passed away, you happened to go to Xiliang. After all, you are engaged to Miss Liu Mansion, so you should go to pay homage. "

Jiang Chen said to his mother:

"Mom, there is something I have always wanted to tell you, but I just didn't find the chance to tell you."

Li Susu looked at her son and said:

"Chen'er, what is it that you didn't have the chance to talk about?"

Jiang Chen solemnly said to his mother:

"Mother, I want to cancel my marriage to Miss Liu Mansion."

Li Susu was shocked when she heard this. She never thought that her son would take the initiative to break off the engagement.

She looked at him puzzled and said:

"Chen'er, how could you say such a thing? Even though we are now in this situation, the Liu family did not dislike us for saying that we wanted to break off the engagement. How could you say such a thing? What's more, you and Miss Liu's family The marriage was arranged by your grandfather without his consent. Do you think you can cancel it? Besides, if you want to cancel the engagement, you must have a reason. Why do you want to cancel the engagement now? Honestly, Do you have a girl you like?"

Jiang Chen said to his mother firmly:

"I really don't know whether I should tell you about this matter. That young lady from the Liu Mansion doesn't want to marry me. She likes Jiang Feng, the young master of the Hou Mansion, not Jiang Chen, the fool like me."

Li Susu said seriously:

"Chen'er, what do you say? This is about a girl's honor. You can't just talk nonsense. In order to break off the engagement, we can't do things that hurt other girls' honor. If you do this , I won’t agree to it either.”

Jiang Chen said to his mother:

"Mother, do you think I can do something like that? Do you still remember the last time I went to White Horse Temple to save the souls of the Li family?"

Li Susu nodded and said:

"I remember, but what does that matter have to do with your marriage?"

Jiang Chen continued:

"But does mother know who I met at White Horse Temple?"

"Stop playing riddles for me. Tell me who you met."

Jiang Chen looked at his mother and said:

"I didn't want to say these things at first, because if I said it, even I would feel a shame. But I think this matter will be resolved sooner or later, so you'd better have something in mind. The Liu family's The person the young lady likes is Jiang Feng, not me, so even for the sake of adult beauty, we have to take the initiative to cancel the marriage."

Li Susu was still confused, she couldn't wait to say to Jiang Chen:

"You mean, when you went to White Horse Temple, Miss Liu and Jiang Feng also went together. You saw them together with your own eyes."

Jiang Chen nodded to his mother and said:

"Mother is right. The two of them may have been in love a long time ago. Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken the opportunity to go on a date there. Since Miss Liu loves Jiang Feng, then I will make it happen. My marriage to Miss Liu Fu , will have to retreat sooner or later."

Li Susu said angrily:

"I really didn't expect that Sister Daqian, the daughter of the Liu family, would do such a dishonorable thing. Since she had this intention, she should have brought it up earlier. We didn't expect her to marry you. This matter There is no need for us to come forward in person to cancel the engagement. Since this is the case, they should be more anxious to cancel the engagement. Then, will you still go to Mrs. Liu’s funeral? "

Jiang Chen said to his mother:

"Of course I went. Liu Huaian and I are friends. Even if he didn't send someone to tell me, I would go there even if I knew about it. This has nothing to do with my marriage to Miss Liu Mansion."
