Chapter 73 Not accepting the apology

Two days later, Lin Shuran received news from the Beijing Government again, saying that Chen Jishun did not admit that he ordered his men to bribe a few thieves to beat people, but that his servants took matters into their own hands.

The servant had already written a confession and committed suicide out of fear of the crime.

"Madam, it seems that the Chen family has gained the understanding of the Qing Palace. The Beijing Palace has also closed the case this morning. It is said that the old servant of the Chen family has an old grudge against Master Chen. When he bumped into him in the capital this time, he took revenge.

He didn't expect that the person he was looking for was stupid and hit the wrong person. To apologize, the Chen family also sent an apology gift to the General's Mansion. Now, the Chen family is outside the door!" Xu

An reported to Lin Shuran with a respectful look.

After hearing this, Lin Shuran smiled coldly and found someone who took the blame when something went wrong. She had seen too many such things in modern times. Zhang Min, the governor of the capital, was not a confused official, nor was the Prince of Qing. They would not know this.

It's definitely not that simple, it's just that Chen Jishun relies on the big tree of Prime Minister Chen Yan, and no one dares to offend him easily.

"Chunxi, go and call the young master over!" Lin Shuran did not answer Xu An first, but called Xu Mingchen to him.

After Xu Mingchen arrived, Lin Shuran told him everything she knew and what Xu An said. He remained silent after listening, but his face was tense.

"Brother Chen, don't have any worries in your heart. If you want to seek an explanation from the Chen family, your father and I will support you. You are now a child of my Xu family, and no one can harm you at will!" Zhang

Prince Minhe Qing did not dare to offend the Chen family easily due to political interests, but she only acted from the perspective of a mother, and the first thing she thought of was to protect her child and safeguard his interests.

Xu Mingchen raised his head and glanced at Lin Shuran. He saw the encouragement for him in her firm and trusting eyes. He was very touched but at the same time he understood that even the Jingcheng Palace and the Qing Palace were unwilling to pursue the matter anymore. He could not do this.

If he causes more trouble to the Xu family, he won't be harmed after all.

However, he and the Chen family of Dongling will always have to settle an account. Now that he is young, weak and has a family he really wants to protect, he simply cannot touch an egg against a rock. One day he will be strong enough.

, he will find the Chen family personally.

Therefore, with a slight smile on his lips, he said to Lin Shuran: "Mom, my child doesn't need to ask for explanation. I have long had nothing to do with the Chen family, and I don't want to have anything to do with it in the future. As long as they don't take the initiative to mess with me, my child

I won’t provoke them either.”

"You -" Lin Shuran could tell that Xu Mingchen's words were meant to comfort her. This child has always been the most sensible. His father died and his mother died and he was abandoned by his family. He has experienced too many miserable experiences since he was a child. This child is also very distressed.

, so I wanted to protect him even more, "Okay, I respect your opinion, but Brother Chen, you have to remember that to survive in the world, a man should have his head above the sky and his feet on the ground, and he should not be afraid of wind and rain.

Hanshuang, don't be afraid of hardships and dangers, let alone any villains who are hiding behind your back. Children of our Xu family shouldn't take the initiative to bully others, but if you are bullied, don't be afraid. If you want to scold you, you can scold him back, and if you want to hit him, you can hit him back.

, this is the confidence that the Xu family gives you, your father and I are your backing."

Lin Shuran's words made Xu Mingchen's heart agitated. His eye circles suddenly turned red, and he suddenly knelt down on his knees, bowed deeply to Lin Shuran, and replied loudly: "My mother's teaching today, I will definitely remember it in my heart, and I will never forget it."

Dare you forget!"

Next, Xu An followed what Lin Shuran told him and relayed it to the person from the Chen family who came to give the gift. Seeing that the Xu family did not accept the gift, the Chen family had no choice but to return in anger.

"What's going on?!" Chen Yanzhi, who had not yet changed into his court uniform, sat on the chair with a majestic look. His face was thin and sinister, with a high nose and slender eyebrows, giving people the impression that he was not easy to get close to.

Especially those eyes like an eagle and a wolf, which can make people feel inexplicably afraid.

After Lin Shuran asked Xu Mingchen to get up, he said to Xu An: "Steward Xu, go and tell the Chen family that this matter has nothing to do with our General's Mansion. It was the Chen family who recognized the wrong person and beat the wrong person.

Man, even if this gift of apology is given, it must be sent to the Qing Palace. In addition, help me bring a message to the head of the Chen family. In the future, please ask the Chen family to open their eyes wider when they go out. Next time, don’t make my Xu family bigger.

If the young master thinks he is someone else, he will cause others to laugh at him, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the Chen family in Dongling for hundreds of years."

"The Xu family is so ungrateful that they didn't even give you any face, grandfather!" Chen Jishun, who was temporarily living in the Prime Minister's Mansion, heard that the people who went to the Xu family to give gifts had returned and that the Xu family had confiscated the apologetic gift.

I found the prime minister who had just returned home from court and made a complaint.

Xu Mingchen and Xu An were stunned for a moment after hearing this. Lin Shuran replied very rudely. If you don't accept the gift from the Chen family, you won't accept the apology from the Chen family. Moreover, anyone can tell that these words are coming from the mistress of the Xu family.

anger".

"What? That's too polite?" Lin Shuran asked with a deliberately confused look.

"Mom, wouldn't it be wrong to go back like this?" Xu Mingchen didn't want to make the Xu family and the Chen family at odds because of his own affairs. Everyone knew that Prime Minister Chen Yan was the one who held grudges the most and was not a good person. Chen Jishun was his grandson.

"Good boy, get up quickly!" This bow and the "Mother" made the relationship between mother and son even closer.

Xu Mingchen quickly shook his head. At first, he felt that as the matron of the thirteen stepsons of the Xu family, Lin Shuran, the daughter of the Taifu family, was too weak and gentle. But as he got along with her, he realized that he was a "mother-in-law".

"In fact, he is best at overcoming strength with gentleness. He may be a ruthless character on the inside, but he seems to be less afraid of trouble than his father Xu Junze.

"It's not that Chen Wei. Now he has become the stepson of the general and has forgotten who his ancestors are. You asked me to send someone to deliver gifts to the Xu family, but they didn't accept them. What else could you say to ask you to go out and clean them up in the future?

Brighten your eyes to avoid being ridiculed by others and tarnishing your own reputation." Chen Jishun's little eyes were filled with shame. He had loved to bully Chen Wei since he was a child. Now that he saw that he was still alive and well, he felt uncomfortable.

"Is this what Xu Junze said?!" Chen Yanzhi's face turned gloomy again. In the court, Xu Junze loved to challenge him. He won several battles because of his close relationship with the Queen Mother and the emperor. He was too arrogant.

"No one else thinks he is a great general!" Chen Jishun didn't care who said it, he didn't like it anyway because he was protecting Chen Wei.

Chen Yanzi was a little unsure. Xu Junze was in the palace like him, so who said this was Xu Mingchen, who had changed his name and clan, or Xu Junze's new wife?
