The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

The Wen family in Qincheng, Ganzhou, was the old lady's family, and was also considered a local powerful family. Especially after Wen Ruqin married into the Marquis of Jian'an Mansion and became the mistress of the mansion, the Wen family's fortune was at its peak.

At that time, Madam Wen Ruqin was good at saving face and making a scene. She once had the final say in the Marquis' Mansion and made it difficult for the eldest son born to the late wife to move forward. The members of the Wen family had also heard about this and everyone knew that she was very capable.

The couple of Jian'an Houye went to the underworld hand in hand, which also became a legend in Ganzhou. Everyone who heard it would say, "It's a match made in heaven, a song that is worth singing and crying!"

There was even a local opera troupe that rehearsed a new play "Dielianhua" overnight, in which the male role was directly named Shi Qingxiang and the female role was named Wen Ruqin.

The love between the hero and heroine in the play is so intense that it makes people cry. They can die together, so shouldn't it be "you are the butterfly and I am the flower"?

The folk storybook is also known as "If I die, the Marquis will not live alone", with a happy ending. The two will be locked together for life and will never harm others... Oh, wrong, they will never miss each other.

Shi Chengxuan brought a bunch of concubines and children to Ganzhou to visit relatives, which really shocked the Wen family.

In Shi Chengxuan's words, "When my mother died, she left a will asking me to bring my whole family to Ganzhou to live for her for a while, to see the world, and to let her grandchildren know more about the place where their grandmother grew up. This is also a way to repay Ganzhou, the land that raised her, and to repay the Wen family for raising her."

Shi Chengxuan thought carefully on the way and recited these words over and over again.

He always felt that he had done this somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

Anyway, no matter what, the Wen family welcomed Shi Chengxuan and others from the capital with the highest etiquette, and even used a house on the best road in Qincheng to accommodate the whole family.

This house was originally purchased by the Wen family specifically to receive distinguished guests and manage relationships, so there are usually people here to take care of the garden.

Now, no one in the Wen family knows that Shi Chengxuan has divorced the eldest daughter of the Duke of Huguo, and no one knows that Shi Chengxuan, the father, was driven from the capital to Ganzhou by his daughter.

They only knew that Wen Ruqin's marriage to Marquis Jian'an really brought honor to the Wen family. In the local area, as long as the name of Marquis Jian'an's Mansion was mentioned, things would basically work.

Shi Chengxuan's eldest son, Shi Yunqi, is now the prince of Jian'an Marquis's Mansion, and will be the future heir to the title.

Due to Shi Chengxuan's boasting, the Wen family also learned that the famous Princess Haiyan in the capital was his daughter Shi Anxia.

From what Shi Chengxuan said, it was just short of saying that Emperor Mingde wanted to be his sworn brother. He and Emperor Mingde had a very good relationship, closer than brothers. Emperor Mingde often invited him to the palace to play chess and drink with him.

Sometimes he would come to the palace, and sometimes Emperor Mingde would go out of the palace in disguise to find him. Anyway, he was the emperor's favorite.

When Shi Chengxuan was drinking and in high spirits, he would reveal some gossip. He would slap the table, point at a circle of people and say, "All of you here are my Shi Chengxuan's relatives, all of you are my family. I didn't want to say this originally, keep it a secret! It has to be kept a secret! Hey, I'd better not say it!"

So all the Wen family members started to flatter him and made him dizzy.

Shi Chengxuan liked the feeling of being the center of attention, and liked everyone to be around him. He was so good at lying that he said, "I came to Ganzhou this time. Actually, I was ordered by the emperor to inspect Ganzhou. You really have to keep it a secret and don't tell anyone..."

From then on, Shi Chengxuan walked around the Wen family like a duck in water, and no one dared to offend him. No, not only the Wen family, but the entire Ganzhou Qincheng, he was like a fish in water.

The prefect of Ganzhou had invited him to his house for drinks several times in an effort to build a closer relationship with him.

After a few rounds of exchanges, Shi Chengxuan became arrogant again. But he was poor, and his aloofness was not proportional to the money he held.

Tang Chujun only gave him 100 taels of silver every month through Wanli Money House. Sometimes, when he was in a good mood, he might give him 120 taels.

But how could this be enough for Shi Chengxuan? He also had to support so many concubines and children, and there were many expenses in the house.

Shi Chengxuan floated back and forth, and each time he said, "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone. I came to inspect Ganzhou on the orders of the emperor." In the end, he himself couldn't tell the truth from the false, as if he really was the imperial envoy who came to investigate openly and secretly.

He was actually very happy floating around, but he scared his concubines.

Among the concubines who followed Shi Chengxuan to Ganzhou, the most honest and obedient one was the oldest one, Wang.

In fact, she was not a concubine, but a maid. She had no children, so she could just muddle through life, which was bearable.

The other few, Qiu, Wu, Zhou and Wen, all have children and think more comprehensively.

Moreover, having lived in the capital for a long time, he has a broad vision and has seen the world, so he feels that... the Second Master is going to get into trouble again.

Among these people, Qiu was the most active. She was suffering every day in Ganzhou, and she missed Tang Chujun every day.

She hated herself for having such high expectations of the Second Master. Why did she think that she would have to rely on men in the end?

In the end, the quiet Han concubine was the smartest. She took her son to Tang Chujun early and got the second master's letter of release. If she meets someone she likes in the future, she can get married. If not, she can live with her son for the rest of her life.

It's better than being like them, hiding in Ganzhou with a man who can blow cows away, not only seeing no hope, but also having vague signs of impending disaster.

The thing that the four concubines are most distracted about now is being favored by the emperor. Once they see through and despise a man and find that he is unreliable, even the affairs between men and women become boring.

What do you mean by pampering? What do you mean by pampering! Don't come and get close to me! The four concubines are now not paying attention to Shi Chengxuan. They have nothing to do all day long, so they gather together to discuss how to return to the capital to seek refuge with their mistress Tang Chujun.

Others may not know how much Shi Chengxuan weighs, but don’t they know it either?

Even how to lie to the Wen family when he returned was taught word for word by Qiu.

Now, seeing that the Second Master is three-quarters sober and seven-quarters drunk all day long, and even bragging that he is the secret "imperial envoy", the concubines are angry and afraid.

This day was another day when the Second Master went to the Ganzhou prefect's house to brag. Aunt Qiu summoned the other three aunts who had their own ideas to her courtyard and said seriously, "I've thought about it. There's a big knife hanging over our heads. Sooner or later, we'll die. We can't go on like this. Let's surrender to the mistress."

Wu was in a dilemma. "How can I surrender? Madam is no longer our mistress. How can she care about our life or death?"

Zhou said, "That may not be the case. Although Madam is not our mistress, she is still the mother of the young lady and the young master. If the second master commits a crime, the future of the young lady and the young master will also be affected."

Mrs. Wen agreed, "Yes, Madam will not ignore it. Without Madam as the mistress, this house is in a mess. Now... I really miss Madam more and more."
