"It's nothing," Chu Junlan came back to his senses, suppressed his thoughts without hesitation, and held Xu's hand instead, "It made my mother worry. Today's incident was really a bit of a sweat."

"Isn't that true," Xu sighed and lowered his voice, "You said that the struggle between Concubine Ying and Concubine Shu is going to involve you. At first, I saw that the fourth lady in Gege's hometown was a little suspicious, but later I realized that I was wrongly blamed her."

Chu Junlan couldn't help but secretly admire him. He is worthy of being a wealthy family who has been mistresses for so many years and is more sensitive to some things than ordinary people.

"Actually, my mother said it well. I do doubt Ge Shuyu about this." Chu Junlan talked about how he was taken to Meiyuan and how he met the second prince again, and followed the situation and told Mrs. Hanmei about her relationship.

"I didn't expect this to be like this..." Xu was amazed at his tongue, and after thinking about it, he realized it. His face turned red with anger, and he gritted his teeth, "I didn't expect that the female relatives in the old palace would put in such a skill to disturb other people's marriages! If you weren't your connections and have a skill, wouldn't you be punished with Concubine Shu this time? What should you do if the prince conceived this matter?"

"Mother, don't be angry. How can you be so angry? The marriage has passed the emperor's clear path, and it is not something that can be changed by just changing it. Besides, the mother and daughter of the Ge family have not succeeded now? Don't be angry about this, it's not worth it."

"That's not possible! It's your ability to hide, it doesn't mean they have never done such despicable things! My daughter is so good than them, how can they bully and suppress it?" Xu gritted her teeth, "Sister Lan, don't be afraid. I'll go back to discuss with your father, and I don't believe that their family dares to be shameless!"

Chu Junlan was moved. Xu was willing to treat her so heartlessly. People's hearts were made of flesh. How could she not be moved? Even if she was not related by blood, she still liked such a kind mother from the bottom of her heart.

"Mother, don't be angry." Chu Junlan hugged Xu's arm and shook his head on her shoulders. "With you and my father here, I can't suffer any loss. Let them want to go. Anyway, the person who lost in the end is not me. If you are angry, wouldn't you fall into their trap? It's too much loss, it's not worth it."

Xu's eyebrows and eyes were soft. When he touched Chu Junlan's head, his anger disappeared a lot. Chu Junlan was an independent and self-reliant girl. Although she was younger than her two sons, she was capable than those two.

Although they became mother and daughter because of a word from the emperor, she had also worried that Chu Junlan would not accept the discipline and would stir up the chaos of the family, but after getting along for a long time, her ideas had changed.

In the past, she treated her like a biological daughter. Now, she is her biological daughter.

"Good kid, you are a sensible kid. You don't have to take this matter seriously or worry. Your father and I will naturally find a way to cook. Just do what you should do."

Chu Junlan nodded with a smile: "Okay, my daughter just eats and drinks anyway."

Xu was so funny that she laughed at her relaxed tone.

After returning home, Chu Junlan took the old lady back to Chunhui Garden with her mother and aunt. After a few gossips, everyone dispersed.

When Chu Junlan returned to his bedroom to rest, Xu went to the study room of the outer courtyard.

"Girl, my wife went to the study in the outer courtyard for an afternoon. I heard that my wife had dinner with the prince in the study in the outer courtyard for a meal." Zi Yan served Chu Junlan to take a shower and added hot water to the bathtub with a wooden spoon.

Chu Junlan held his hair high, and he leisurely followed the edge of the bathtub and closed his eyes to rest. He smiled and said, "You, the news is still very well-informed."

"Where can I not have snacks about you? You said that when the Duke of the State returned to the mansion, he was only in the house, and at most he only talked to the third master and Miss Xi. What did he think? I also heard that the Duke of the State will be back to the village these days."

Chu Junlan shook his head and said softly, "Things cannot be just looking at the surface. For families like the Duke's Mansion, no matter what the Duke's Mansion does, it is impossible for us to do it simply because of our own preferences. We don't need to carefully consider it, we just need to understand this."

Zi Yan nodded and said thoughtfully: "Anyway, I just listen more and say less."

Chu Junlan smiled slightly, and was about to say something, but suddenly opened his eyes, got up, grabbed the bath towel and wrapped it around him.

At the same time, a slight knock came from the rear window.

"Ah, is it the prince?" Zi Yan smacked her tongue, "Why did she come so early this time?"

Chu Junlan listened carefully, and his tense body relaxed and said, "Maybe I know what happened when I entered the palace today. Go and let the prince come in, don't light the lights in the bedroom, let him wait for me for a while."

"I understand." Zi Yan nodded, walked around the screen and walked quickly to the back window of the bedroom, and pushed the window open. Standing outside was Xiao Xu in black.

Zi Yan put Xiao Xu in sideways, looked around carefully, hurriedly closed the window, and then blew the lights.

The house was sunk into darkness, and the orange lights of the clean room faintly penetrated, and the water vapor filled the air was filled with a faint fragrance of herbs and flowers.

Xiao Xu listened to the drizzle of water in the clean room, and couldn't help but lower his head. He sat on the rose chair placed in the corner of the bedroom without saying a word. His face was expressionless and his temperament was cold. Don't let anyone enter.

Zi Yan spitted her tongue and hurried in to serve Chu Junlan in dress and comb her hair.

But in a moment, light footsteps came. Xiao Xu raised his head and saw Chu Junlan's delicate figure. The orange light coated her with a faint soft light. The smell of medicine and flowers in the water vapor became more and more intense as she approached, making Xiao Xu's Adam's apple roll up and down.

"You are here." Chu Junlan sat opposite him, smiled and tilted his head, "I thought you would be very busy today, why are you here now?"

Xiao Xu pursed his lips and said after a moment: "I know a little about the matter in the palace. I have also found the bribed eunuch. What are you going to deal with?"

Chu Junlan was surprised: "So fast?"

"Um."

"I used a lot of relationships and squandered a lot of strength, right?"

"Fortunately. If you want to make this sigh, this person can interrogate and make a fuss."

That was the eunuch in the palace, but Xiao Xu dared to say that he wanted to interrogate him.

In any case, Xiao Xu's attitude of refusing to protect herself and grievance made her very happy.

"No need. Actually, I know who did it. There is no need to worry about this."

Xiao Xu was surprised: "Did you understand?"

"Well. From the clues today, we can tell that it was the devil who was involved in Ge Ge's hometown. The purpose..." Chu Junlan pulled out his voice, leaned over, and leaned closer to Xiao Xu, "They were of course to make Concubine Shu hate me, so that your father would reconsider your marriage. Prince, what do you think?"

Xiao Xu pursed his lips and held it in for a long time, saying, "I think... there is something wrong with his family!"
