As soon as Gong Yunrou saw Chen Xun, she walked forward and saluted him. She should have called him "uncle" according to Chen Chu's seniority, but she was unwilling to call him that and always liked to call him Lord Chen.
"Lord Chen." Gong Yunrou looked at him with eyes slightly shining and smiled faintly.
Chen Xun looked at the person in front of him and asked her, "Who are you?"
Gong Yunrou didn't expect him to say this. Her face turned pale and tears welled up in her eyes. For a moment, she couldn't remember anything. Has it become like this now?
Not long after, Lin Xi suddenly appeared from behind them, scaring Gong Yunrou.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xi just looked at the person in front of her and she could tell that there was something wrong with the way she looked at Chen Xun.
It’s just that Chen Xun is a person who always wants to keep the things he cares about in his heart, and doesn’t care about other things or other people. I’m afraid that he was hurt by what Chen Xun said just now.
"you are?"
Lin Xi's voice is faint and really beautiful to listen to.
However, in Gong Yunrou's eyes, her question was indeed a questioning of herself. She didn't even dare to respond and hurriedly ignored it.
The two of them were left staring at each other.
"Lin Xi, are you still angry now?" Chen Xun followed behind Lin Xi, step by step. Perhaps he had already seen that something was wrong with Lin Xi, but he was unwilling to really bow down to her.
Now that things have come to this, he is still like this.
Lin Xi was really disappointed, and even the rest of the words he said were not wrong.
She couldn't even tell, had he really done something wrong?
As for other people in Kyoto, if a husband did something wrong, few would apologize to his wife, so she got a great bargain.
But why was she so sad in her heart?
When she thought of this, she felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe.
Living in this place, facing Chen Xun in front of her, there are some words she can't say, but she really has to face it all the time. She doesn't like this life and doesn't want to live like this forever.
"Chen Xun, when these things are over, let's get divorced!"
These words were like thunder.
Chen Xun didn't expect Lin Xi to say such a thing, and he didn't react for a while.
Hearing Lin Xi say these words to him, he felt indescribable in his heart, but the thing had already been done, and there was no room for regret now. He could only continue to do it.
"What else do you want to say now?" Lin Xi asked him again.
Perhaps, in her heart, she still had a little expectation towards Chen Xun. If he could tell her the truth, then she could gradually forget about the wedding.
However, Chen Xun did not say anything directly to her. He just put down the cup in his hand and said to Lin Xi solemnly: "I'm sorry, Lin Xi, on the day of the wedding, I didn't care about your face. I won't do it again in the future."
Lin Xi didn't want to hear such an apology, such words, but now he said it to her.
How could she possibly believe it?
"Is that all you have to say?" Lin Xi concealed her emotions and smiled faintly at him: "Since that's all you have to say, then Chen Xun should go change your clothes!"
Chen Xun always felt that Lin Xi had changed towards him, but he couldn't tell what had changed. Now that he had done things to this point, there was no turning back.
Chen Xun went to change his clothes, but he kept thinking about Lin Xi's expression, trying to find the slightest difference, but he felt that there was nothing unusual.
The person next to him looked at Chen Xun's absent-minded appearance and said in a persuasive tone: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"They said that if you want the truth, you have to pay a price. But if you tell Miss Lin everything, aren't you afraid that she will become estranged from you?" Shen Zhuang has never been a person who tells lies. Seeing the current situation, he bluntly pointed out his current situation.
"Besides, how can you know that Miss Lin will not stand on your side if she knows these things?"
But Chen Xun had a stubborn personality, so how could he possibly listen to Shen Zhuang's words? Now that things had come to this point, there were many things that even he himself didn't know how to control.
In the past, he felt that he could do anything, but after meeting Lin Xi, his thoughts changed.
"Mr. Shen, you must keep this a secret for me." Chen Xun still didn't want to tell Lin Xi all these dirty things and let her know, but people in the mansion were afraid that they would not respect Lin Xi very much because of what happened that day.
When he thought of this, he said, "Help me think of a way to let everyone know that Lin Xi is the most distinguished person in this mansion."
"You don't have to think about it. The Queen has already taken action." Shen Zhuang said indifferently, rolled his eyes at him and then complained: "Just do it! Sooner or later, you will make people lose their minds."
Chen Xun's heart twitched when he heard Shen Zhuang's words.
The bright moonlight fell in the yard, and there were cicadas and birds chirping on the branches.
The next day after Lin Xi's death, everyone in the Chen Mansion was worried. After all, Lin Xi's current status was no longer the same as before. Behind her, there was still the Queen.
Now, the fight between the Queen and Concubine Ruan has long ended. The Queen, who is usually quiet, was able to move the Ruan family directly without even causing any damage.
Now, no one dares to look down on the queen who has lived in the deep palace for a long time.
But who could have thought that Chen Xun would actually abandon his bride on the wedding day?
If this incident happened to someone else, the Chen family would not end up well.
They also didn't know how to treat Lin Xi.
But last night, Lin Xi was able to handle the matter calmly, and it didn't make them feel anything.
Everyone in the Chen Mansion had their own agenda, and everyone was as quiet as a cicada. It wasn't as lively as it used to be.
It didn't take long.
Lin Xi took her two maids with her and went to the east wing of the Chen Mansion to pay her respects to Old Madam Chen.
After all, she is Chen Xun's nominal mother, and the emperor specifically asked them to get married in the Chen family's home. This was all the old lady's intention.
She naturally knew that she had to go today.
As soon as Lin Xi entered the gate, he squatted down and greeted politely, saying:
"Meet the mother."
After what happened yesterday, Old Lady Chen naturally didn't dare to neglect Lin Xi anymore. She specially asked her dowry nanny to help her up. She said to her, "My husband is ignorant, and it has caused you a lot of hardship. Don't worry about it. No matter how beautiful the world is, it will never happen to you."
Hearing what she said, Lin Xi could only nod and agree: "Yes, I understand what the old lady means."
Chunhua was originally angry because of last night, and now seeing the old lady's attitude, she was more sad for the eldest daughter. No one considered the girl, and no one thought that she would lose face in public after encountering this incident last night.
When she thought of this, she felt
Chen didn't expect that she would be punished by the old lady. She was so angry that she just wanted to stay in her room and didn't want to go out.
Shameful, so shameful.
"What are you still doing here?" When Chen saw the person in front of her, she felt so angry that she couldn't vent it. She had known for a long time that Lin Xi's current identity was not ordinary, and she couldn't plot against her as she did in the past.
But he was even more worried in his heart that she would take away his rights. He just didn't expect that he would look down on her and dare to speak nonsense in front of the old lady.
Chen raised her hand and swept the tea set in front of the cotton swab table to the ground. Chen Chusheng, who had just come in, had never seen his mother lose her temper so much. He looked surprised and bowed to Chen:
"Son, meet your mother."
As he spoke, Chen Chusheng had already walked to his side and said to him, "Mother, why are you angry?"
Seeing her son, Chen felt so bitter that she couldn't say anything. There were some things she didn't dare tell her son for fear that he would worry. But now things had come to this point. If she didn't do something, she was afraid that who knows what would happen in the future.
"Chu Sheng, do you know what will happen after Lin Xi becomes your aunt?" she said worriedly.
Seeing his mother's sad face, Chen Chusheng calmly expressed her thoughts, saying, "It's just because of her status, and she married my uncle. If my uncle and she have a son or a daughter, the entire Chen Mansion will be theirs."
Seeing Chen Chusheng say this, she never thought that her son could actually say it, so she held his hand, tears in her eyes: "You know, today..."
Having said this, she didn't say anything else. If she told her son about what happened at the women's house, there would be no way to solve the current problem.
"Mother, don't worry. This matter is simple as it sounds." As he spoke, Chen Chusheng supported Chen's hand and walked all the way to the toffee chair. He handed Chen's smoking utensils to her and took out a lighter.
Suddenly, white smoke rose up in the house.
As Chen puffed out smoke, Chen Chusheng's eyes were dark and he spoke calmly through the hazy white mist, "Mother, if they are not in harmony, how can they have a child?"
"How can I inherit the Chen Mansion without a child? I am the only male in the Chen Mansion. Can they inherit a child from a side branch? If the name is not right, then the words will not flow."
Hearing his words, Chen exhaled the smoke from her mouth and leaned her head back on the chair. "My son has really grown up. He can think of so many things."
Hearing that Chen had secretly agreed with his idea, he struck while the iron was hot and said to her, "Mother, my uncle ran away for another woman and hasn't come back yet. He will definitely not come back because he ran away for someone else, right?"
Chen Chusheng had not expected such a change to happen, but it was precisely because of this change that he immediately understood that in his current situation, his future would be better only if the relationship between the two of them was worse.
If the relationship between the two people is really deep, he will not have the opportunity to intervene.
"Go ahead and do it. Make sure you find the person and send him to the palace."
······
Chunhua was happy to see Chen being humiliated, but as soon as she returned to the yard, Lin Xi asked her to kneel down.
Liuyun originally wanted to plead for her, but she didn't expect the girl to not give her the chance at all.
The two were still in the yard, one standing and the other kneeling.
Suddenly, there was a light knock on the door outside the courtyard.
In order to prevent Chunhua, the maid, from losing face in the yard, Liuyun ordered everyone to go to the backyard. Now only she could open the door, but she never expected to see the dusty Chen Xun.
A hint of surprise flashed across her face, and then she bowed to Chen Xun according to etiquette.
"Yes, uncle."
"How is your girl?" Chen Xun rushed back from outside, so he naturally knew what kind of rumors were spreading throughout the mansion. He felt guilty, but he also felt that Lin Xi would be able to handle these things.
Liuyun lowered his head and led the way for him: "The young lady went to see the old lady today and will be back to rest soon."
When Chen Xun passed Chunhua, he stopped. In his impression, Lin Xi would never be too harsh on the maids around him. Seeing that her maid had been kneeling in this place, he asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Liuyun knew that Chen Chu was asking about Chunhua, so he replied, "My Lord, this maid had a conflict with someone as soon as she entered the Chen Mansion. The young lady felt that she was not calm, so she deliberately let her here to temper her."
Chunhua was already unhappy, and now when she saw Chen Xun coming back, she lowered her head. Even if he was a Rakshasa, he could not bully the young lady.
"Let her get up first!" Chen Xun understood the hidden meaning when he heard this.
Inside the house, Lin Xi had known that Chen Xun would come back, but she didn't expect him to come back like this.
The two of them sat there looking at each other in silence, not saying anything, but it seemed like they had said everything.
Lin Xi placed a cup of tea in front of him, her eyes calm: "Can't tell?"
Chen Xun picked up the cup and nodded: "Yeah."
After hearing this, she understood what Chen Xun meant, but she never thought that he came back without even giving her an explanation. When she thought of this, she was indeed disappointed.
When this emotion spread throughout her body, she suddenly realized that she had also placed her hope on him, or in other words, she liked him.
However, now it seems that this love is no longer worth it. She smiled, refilled his cup with water, and then asked, "Don't you need my help?"
Chen Xun shook his head calmly: "No, this matter is very tricky."
"Is there anyone at home who wants to cause trouble for you?" Chen Xun's eyes were filled with a bit of cruelty, and then he comforted her and whispered, "I'll do it." Lin Xi had long understood that Chen Xun had a cold face, but he was reluctant to take action against the Chen family. She refused directly, "If you intervene to help me with the affairs of the back house, it only shows that I am incompetent. That's all. I will be careful about the severity of my actions." Hearing Lin Xi say these words to him, he felt indescribable in his heart, but the thing had already been done, and there was no room for regret now. He could only continue to do it.
