Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

Hong Jin pondered that there should be no secrets between her and her wife, and the words almost came out of her mouth.

"The master went out late at night and asked his servant to stay and look after you."

After careful consideration, reason prevailed.

If the master's secrets were revealed, there was no telling what kind of revenge she would face. If the master married her out of anger, Hong Jin, a servant, would have no place to cry.

She chooses to hide her secrets, and as long as she serves her well, the master will not do anything to her.

After thinking about it, Hong Jin let out a breath of turbidity and felt more relaxed.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it is the day when a married woman returns to her parents’ home.

Early in the morning, the Mo family took Shen Zhilan to Princess Yutan's house for confinement, and the house suddenly felt a lot cleaner.

Jiang Yuzhu had nothing to do, so she spread out her letter paper and wrote a letter home.

Hongxiu opened the curtain and came in with very light steps. Seeing that his wife was busy, she was hesitating whether to speak.

Jiang Yuzhu raised his eyes slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Madam, my cousin has bought a carriage and is determined to leave the border town."

After some words of persuasion from Hong Xiu, Chen Tao made up his mind and took only the boy with him, and all the packages were packed.

Now, Chen Tao came to the study just to say goodbye to his cousin Jiang Yuzhu.

Jiang Yuzhu put down her pen and ink and made a gesture. When Chen Tao came in, she asked first, "Cousin, it's the middle of the year and there are only a few caravans on the road. Why don't you wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to set off?"

Chen Tao sat on one side, lowering his eyes in deep thought.

Seeing that her cousins ​​had something to say, Hongxiu quietly left after serving the tea.

After the room was cleared, Chen Tao thought for a moment and then said: "Cousin, after thinking about it for my brother, it would be safer to return to the clan as soon as possible."

As a descendant of the Chen family, Chen Tao has no interest in scientific research and is not interested in fighting for power. He travels around to avoid the way out arranged by his elders.

In the past, Chen Tao firmly believed that his choice was not wrong.

After being caught in the city lord's mansion, he escaped and entered the tribe, finally returned to Daqi's territory, stayed overnight at the general's mansion for tea and was burned to death, he suddenly woke up.

"The nights are long and there are many dreams. I can't afford to gamble for my brother, and neither can the Chen family."

Chen Tao raised his head, with a look of uncertainty in his eyes. After a moment of wandering, his eyes settled.

Jiang Yuzhu heard the meaning of Chen Tao's words and couldn't help being surprised: "Cousin, do you believe me?"

Since Chen Tao was rescued, Jiang Yuzhu would speak ill of Chen Tao and Lu Yunxi whenever the siblings were alone.

Jiang Yuzhu suspected that Lu Yunxi was plotting rebellion, but she had no evidence.

Jiang Yuzhu had no choice but to find another way and show everything that happened in the past in front of Chen Tao, hoping that Chen Tao would be more alert. Unexpectedly, her cousin ignored her at all.

After all, although the Lu family is a wealthy family, it is far away in the south of the Yangtze River. Most of the people in the family are engaged in business. To say that they have rebellious intentions would sound more like slander.

The room fell into silence.

After a long while, Chen Tao said sadly: "We are both cousins, and we both hate scientific examinations. I have always thought that I and Lu Yunxi are the same kind of people..."

In the past, the relationship between the two was very good, but Chen Tao didn't know when it changed.

Lu Yunxi said that he went to travel outside the sea and disappeared for several years. After returning, he appeared in the capital and became a teacher in a right and wrong place like Qingzhu Academy. Either he was indifferent to fame and fortune, or he wanted more.

"In any case, Lu Yunxi married Miss Xuanjia and became a member of the Xuanjia sect, while the Chen family has nothing to do with her relatives."

Chen Tao accurately analyzed that severing relations with Lu Yunxi and the Chen family could be a good way out.

Jiang Yuzhu listened quietly and asked, "Has cousin made a decision?"

"Yes."

Because he figured it out, Chen Tao decided to strike first.

We will hit the road on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and we can return to our clan in early February.

"But……"

Jiang Yuzhu has dealt with the Da Chen family. Although her family and the Da Chen family have verbally severed ties, if the Chen family has not broken off, her mother Chen and the Da Chen family will still be sisters in the eyes of outsiders. Interruption Bones are connected to tendons.

Seeing Jiang Yuzhu's dilemma, Chen Tao asked with a smile: "Cousin, are you worried that the clan won't kick my aunt out?"

Jiang Yuzhu nodded sadly: "My mother wrote letters to grandma before, but grandma didn't pay attention at all."

The Chen family and the eldest Chen family have been competing with each other since childhood, so when the Chen family mentioned breaking off their relationship, the Chen family thought it was because the two sisters were at odds.

There have been too many troubles over the years, and the Chen family has become accustomed to it. Jiang Yuzhu is worried about this.

Chen Tao took a sip of tea, waved his hands and said, "What's so difficult about this?"

"Cousin, please stop being so pretentious. I want to hear your ideas."

Jiang Yuzhu scratched her head, but didn't quite believe it.

Old God Chen Tao drank a cup of tea and ate a piece of snack on the ground. At the moment when Jiang Yuzhu couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to blow his head off, he accurately said: "It's simple, slander."

"slander?"

Jiang Yuzhu raised her eyebrows, seeming to understand a little bit.

Chen Tao did not blush at all and continued: "Cousin, you know the family rules of the Chen family. As long as you slander the Chen family and violate the family rules, will it be difficult to be expelled from the clan?"

"The simplest and crudest way is to slander the Chen family for stealing people."

Search carefully for clues. Where can slander come quickly?

Anyway, the clan cares about reputation, and Chen Tao just took advantage of this to fight back.

Not only did Chen Tao arrange for the big Chen family to steal people, but Chen Tao also made clear arrangements for the heirs born from the stolen people.

Jiang Yuzhu looked very strange. After holding in her laughter for a while, she couldn't hold back her laughter anymore. Her voice trembled and she said, "Will this work?"

"It works. When my grandparents find out that Da Chen is stealing people, they will be furious and kick them out."

The Chen family also has a chastity memorial arch, which shows how strict they are on women's words and deeds.

After Chen Tao finished speaking, he closed his eyes and sighed: "The eldest sister was married to a sick man. The sick man died a few days after she passed away. She was finally brought back to the clan, because the chastity arch is not allowed to blatantly remarry."

Chen Tao was talking about her biological sister Chen Fang, who was overjoyed and had no time to consummate the marriage, and her husband died.

The Chen family took the person back and kept him in the back house, eating him well and taking care of him.

"The eldest sister is only in her 20s. She has a sweetheart who wants to remarry, but her parents insist on the clan rules and refuse to agree, so they beat her up."

After Chen Tao finished speaking, he smiled bitterly.

This time he returned to the clan and prepared to take advantage of the Chen clan.

First, he slandered the Chen family for not observing women's ethics and exterminated the family, and then used mediation to arrange Chen Fang's marriage.

The second half of my life is still there, and for the next few decades, I have to live a life of pure heart and few desires?

Jiang Yuzhu gave a thumbs up and said sincerely: "Cousin, you still have ideas."

Mrs. Chen, the mother-in-law, only mentioned this rule of the Chen family, but Jiang Yuzhu never took it to heart.

Thinking of what the original owner had done in the past and that her parents had never disliked her, Jiang Yuzhu felt a little inexplicably moved.

It's like they know that this is wrong and will have a bad impact, but the Jiang family doesn't want it to be so long-term, as long as she is happy.

Her parents and brothers can help her deal with the rest of the rumors and rumors.

"Cousin, just wait for the good news about my brother."

Leave this matter to Chen Tao and it will be done.

Chen Tao finished drinking a cup of tea and then stood up.

Before leaving, he thought about what happened with Xie Zhao in the tribe, and his eyes flickered.

The job of selling his body is his, and Chen Tao can't even like women now.

On the other hand, Xie Zhao, wearing a mask with a pockmarked face, hindered all Yingying Yanyan.

"Cousin."

Chen Tao decided to use the old method to slander Xie Zhao. He said with a straight face, "Do you know what Yuan He likes?"

"what?"

Jiang Yuzhu was distracted by things in the capital, so she didn't take it to heart and asked subconsciously, "What do you like?"

"chrysanthemum."

After Chen Tao finished speaking, a slightly meaningful smile appeared in his eyes.

Chrysanthemums represent broken sleeves, which is well known in the northwest.

His cousin is so smart, she should be able to think of it, right?

Anyway, it doesn't matter whether it's nonsense or not, Chen Tao doesn't care. He just wants to trip up the calculating Xie Zhao and plant a seed of doubt in his cousin's heart.

Of course, after Xie Zhao suffered all the hardships, Chen Tao would explain clearly that he was a kind-hearted person.
