After introducing Chu Huanyan to the rest of the Zhou family, Zhou Xuanqi invited Chu Huanyan to the lobby.

"Huanyan, uncle, I'm sorry for you. As an uncle, I have neglected to take care of you mother and daughter these years. Then something happened to your parents, and I didn't take you back to Jinzhou to take good care of you." Zhou Xuanqi looked guilty.

In fact, at first, he was just angry for a moment. After returning to Jinzhou, he thought about going to the imperial city again after some time. But later I heard that Huanyan seemed to really want to support the Ning'an Marquis Mansion, so I wanted to see what she could do.

Later, the situation in the Ning'an Marquis Mansion gradually stabilized, and he and his father realized that Huanyan really wanted to stay in the imperial city, so they gave up the idea of ​​picking him up.

In recent years, according to the news coming back from the imperial city, the Ning'an Marquis Mansion has been well taken care of by Huanyan, but the hard work involved is naturally self-evident.

Later, the news spread to Jinzhou that the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Ning'an became a princess. If he, as an uncle, went to congratulate her at this time, it would look like a relationship. It wasn't until Huanyan's letter was sent back that they realized that Huanyan was still thinking about them.

"Uncle, don't say that. What happened before was actually my fault. I was too confused at that time. I only knew how to protect Chu Ziyuan and Chu Wanyan, but I failed to see the hard work of my uncle's long journey to the imperial city. "

"Huanyan, no matter what, it is my uncle who is sorry for you. Over the years, you have to take care of both Lin'an Marquis Mansion and your younger brothers and sisters. You have really suffered." Zhou Xuanqi felt more and more guilty in his heart, "I am the uncle... I really have no face to face you!"

If Huanyan blamed him at this moment, he might be able to breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. The more the other party looked like this, the more guilty he would feel as an uncle.

Seeing Zhou Xuanqi's appearance, Chu Huanyan smiled helplessly, "Uncle, I have traveled all the way to Jinzhou. I hope I can have a good talk with you and my grandfather and be reunited. I don't want to hear your apology here. , you just make me feel uncomfortable."

Hearing Chu Huanyan's words, Zhou Xuanqi quickly changed his words, "It's because my uncle didn't think carefully and didn't say it anymore. He won't say it anymore. No matter what, it's a great joy for our family to be able to meet again!"

"That's right." Zhou Yubai also spoke, looking at Chu Huanyan with loving eyes, "It's just hard work for you to travel all the way."

"Yes, my father originally wanted us to visit you in the imperial city, but we haven't received your reply for a long time, so we can't leave rashly. But unexpectedly, we heard that you were leaving for Jinzhou a few days ago. .”

Seeing Zhou Xuanqi mention the letter, Chu Huanyan's face turned slightly serious.

"Grandpa, I have one thing to ask you. Do you know Huangfuling, the regent of Danyue Kingdom?"

Zhou Yubai and Zhou Xuanqi's expressions changed.

"Huanyan, why do you suddenly ask this?" Zhou Xuanqi frowned and said worriedly, "Did this matter cause you some trouble?"

My father had indeed seen Huangfuling Mausoleum before, and had some interactions with him. However, since he knew the other party's identity, his father had completely cut off contact with him, and he had never seen him even if he came to visit him in person.

In order to avoid causing trouble, this news was hidden. Except for himself and his father, no one else in the family knew about it. How did Huanyan know about it in the imperial city?

Zhou Yubai also frowned, "Huanyan, is it this time that the Danyue envoy went to the imperial city, did he make any fuss about this matter?"

As a grandfather, he has never taken care of Huanyan. If he lets the other party suffer from him...

Seeing that Zhou Xuanqi and Zhou Yubai were nervous, Chu Huanyan said quickly: "No, don't worry, grandfather and uncle. Not many people know about this matter, and it doesn't cause me any trouble."

After hearing Chu Huanyan's words, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then how did you know about this?" Zhou Yubai asked doubtfully.

"Because I saw Huangfuling." After Chu Huanyan was silent for a moment, he told all about Huangfuling pretending to be Han Yang, exchanging letters, and what happened in Liuxi Town.

After hearing this, Zhou Xuanqi was shocked and angry, "That Huangfu Mausoleum is so insidious that he even exchanged letters!"

If Huanyan hadn't been astute and had a backup plan, then now...

Zhou Yubai also had an ugly face, but he was a little more calm and composed than Zhou Xuanqi.

"No wonder the news of the queen's marriage has spread so much. I didn't expect this to be the reason."

"Father, that Huangfu Ling visited me several times and kept saying that he was grateful for your guidance, father. Now it seems that he is really despicable and shameless."

If Ruo Huanyan gets into trouble with the Zhou family in the future, he will really have no face to see his little sister. In fact, the Zhou family may even be accused of harming the relationship between the two countries.

"Uncle, calm down. Huangfuling never succeeded after all, and now that I have arrived at Zhou's house safely, no matter what he plans later, this plan has failed." Chu Huanyan looked at Zhou Xuanqi and expressed relief.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhou Yubai again, "I told this matter firstly because I want my grandfather and uncle to be on guard. Secondly, if my grandfather is willing to say it, I want to know how you and Huangfuling met in the first place. .”

Although Huangfuling took advantage of the Zhou family, although the respect shown by the other party when mentioning his grandfather was not necessarily 100%, it did not seem to be a lie.

Zhou Yubai sighed, "It was many years ago. I traveled to Danyue Kingdom, got lost in a barren mountain, and accidentally came across Huangfu Mausoleum."

At that time, he didn't know who the other party was. He just saw Huangfuling covered with wounds and lying beside a deserted grave, so he rescued him.

Later, through dialogue, he vaguely learned that it was his mother buried in the deserted tomb.

Because of his humble background, he was bullied by the eldest wife of his family. He endured the humiliation for many years and lived a very difficult life at home.

When he became an official and gained some ability, he found a way to ask his most trusted friend to send his mother away.

I thought that the other party could live a stable life from then on, but I didn't expect that his mother was not sent back to her hometown at all. Instead, she was killed by the people sent by the lady to chase her, and then she was casually buried on the barren mountain.

And he was kept in the dark until his most trusted friend showed his true face, framed him at the most critical moment, made all his hard work go to waste, and rushed to kill him, then he finally told everything.

At this point, Zhou Yubai sighed and calmed down for a moment before continuing: "Although he didn't say it clearly, I sent someone to check, and there was the body of a young man at the foot of the barren mountain not far away. I It is speculated that he fought his way out of the ambush, and then took his friend hostage, forcing him to lead the way to his mother's grave, and then killed him. However, he was exhausted, so he fell to the grave with injuries all over his body. Beside the tomb."

Hear this! Chu Huanyan couldn't help but feel sad. She looked at Zhou Yubai and asked, "Grandpa, what happened next?"
