Xue Chen and Lou Qingyun live in Canglan Garden, Duke Wei and Princess live in Qingcangyuan, and the old lady lives in Songheyuan. Basically, these three places are the center of Duke Wei’s Mansion. The second house lives in the southeast corner, the third house is on the right side of the main courtyard, and the fourth house is in the southwest corner. The Duke’s Mansion occupies a relatively large area and is definitely the number one mansion in the capital. Lou Zhan is the eldest brother, with great military achievements, inherited the title of Duke Wei’s Duke. In addition, he also has the positions of the Ministry of War and the Military Department, and is the first among military officers. The second master Lou Yuan is a minister of the Ministry of War, while the third master Lou Haizheng is a civil servant. He passed the Jinshi exam in the Dingyou year, and then became a Shuji Shi. He is now promoted to the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. The fourth master Lou Haiwei does not rely on literature or military affairs, and works in the Zhanshi Mansion.

Lou Zhan married a princess, so he had no concubines around him, and there was no concubine in the eldest house. The second master Lou Yuan married Han as his wife and had two concubines, Ding and Feng as his wife, and the third master Lou Haizheng had three of them. However, these are said to be the people around him who were arranged by the third wife Yu, and the fourth master Lou Haiwei had only one Bao as his wife, and he had been doing it for more than ten years.

Xue Chen gets up every morning and serves Lou Qingyun for breakfast, and goes to Qingcangyuan to pay tribute to the princess about three minutes. To be fair, the princess is indeed not a vicious mother-in-law, and she is even very gentle. She treats Xue Chen like her own daughter. She wants to send a serving of anything delicious and useful to Xue Chen. She cares about her in life and always wants to send her something good to Xue Chen.

However, in a few days, Xue Chen fell in love with this mother-in-law from the bottom of her heart. Although her temperament was a bit troublesome, she definitely did a good job in the roles of mother and wife.

That day Xue Chen went to Qingcangyuan to pay tribute. When he passed by the Cuizhu forest, he heard an anxious voice coming from behind the rockery:

"No, no, cousin, don't lean over, men and women will not be able to get along."

"Oh, I said cousin, you're out of here. We are brothers and sisters, so there is no saying that you don't get along. Brothers, come here, don't leave." A stream of air sounded immediately.

The female voice seemed to be Han Jie'er when she heard the sound. Xue Chen looked at Su Yuan. After Su Yuan thought about it, she said a few words in Xue Chen's ear. Xue Chen turned around and walked through the hanging flower arch on the left, stepped on a pebbled path. He really saw a man carrying the hem of his clothes and walking towards the arch bridge. On the other end of the arch bridge, Han Jie'er and her close maid ran out of the hanging flower arch on the other end without looking back. The man stood on the bridge and smiled at the back of Han Jie'er's rabbit-like escape, saying, "Hey, cousin, why are you running away! I won't eat you again! Hahahaha."

The posture is extremely erotic, the words are frivolous, and the words are rough. Xiang Xue, who is seventeen or eighteen years old, has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and his eyes are smooth, which makes people feel disgusted.

He smacked his lips at the direction where Han Jie'er left, and hummed and walked down the bridge with an unsatisfactory feeling. He looked like a gangster on the street, just like a fan on the back of his head to pretend to be ventilated. Su Yuan told her that this was the son of Tao, Chai Rong.

Chai Rong walked off the bridge and saw a beautiful woman standing under the bridge with a weak willow with a look of Xi Shi. Her figure was much brighter than Lou Yinghan. Seeing Xue Chen wearing a gorgeous dress and a woman's hair bun, she didn't dare to come forward to tease her, but those tricks were not very honest.

Xue Chen calmly asked him:

"Who are you? Why do you appear in the backyard?"

Su Yuan had told her that the Tao came to the mansion to look for the eldest princess for a long time today. Chai Rong must have followed the Tao to enter the mansion. Xue Chen asked this on purpose.

Chai Rong was a lewd man. Seeing that Xue Chen was beautiful and his voice was gentle and gentle, he thought that no matter who he was, he would never have anything to do if he said a few words to tease her. He stepped forward and smiled:

"Who am I? Little beauty, tell me who you are first, and brother, I will tell you who I am."

Xue Chen sneered and shouted loudly: "Come."

Su Yuan knew that the garden was big and was afraid that the guard would not hear it, so he followed Xue Chen and shouted again: "Come here, who is the one who is in charge of the garden?"

After a while, four people came from not far away. The leader was an old lady. Yesterday, I heard her return home and say it was from Song Yong's family. Another chubby woman was next to her, as if she was from Sun Bai's family, and two gardeners were following her.

When Song Yong's family saw Xue Chen, they immediately stepped forward to salute: "See the young lady."

Xue Chen didn't talk nonsense to her, pointed at Chai Rong and asked, "Who is he? This is the backyard, how can there be a man outside?"

Song Yong's family looked at Chai Rong, stepped forward to introduce to Xue Chen, "Oh, the young lady doesn't know anything. This is Mr. Chai, the princess's aunt and nephew, not an outsider."

Chai Rong didn't expect that this delicate beauty was the prince's wife who had just entered the door a few days ago. Thinking of the powerful appearance of the prince Lou Qingyun, Chai Rong also lost the desire to tease the beauty. He bowed to Xue Chen, and then wanted to leave, but Xue Chen said coldly:

"What kind of young master Chai? Which princess was born? How could he become the princess's aunt and nephew, and take it down for me."

With the order, the Song Yong family did not dare to act and stood there in embarrassment. The Sun Bai family wanted to go forward to obey the order, but was pulled by the Song Yong family and pushed it back. The two gardeners behind him looked at each other when they saw this and did not dare to take action. Xue Chen asked coldly:

"Why, what I said is not good, you guys bullied me just in the door?"

Song Yong's family immediately stepped forward and shook his hand and said, "No, no, no, how dare you? But this young master Chai is really the princess's nephew. He is half of the master in this courtyard. We are slaves, so we can take down the master. Don't make things difficult for us, young lady."

Xue Chen stared at her for a while, then said to Su Yuan: "Go and call the housekeeper over. I want to ask if this is the case. I want to take someone in my backyard, but I can't even hold it."

Su Yuan took the order and left. Seeing that Xue Chen was really ignorant, Song Yong's family was speechless. They thought that the young lady wanted to show off her majestic airs just after entering the door, and couldn't help but say:

"Look at what the young lady said, how big a thing is, I need to bother the housekeeper over here. It's nothing. If the young lady really wants to provoke something, then everyone's face will be bad, and they will not look up and see him."

When Xue Chen heard her talk, he simply sat down on the stone bench beside him. Song Yong's family wanted to give Chai Rong a face and continued to step forward to smooth things over:

"As the saying goes, enemies should be resolved rather than made up. Young Master Chai and the young lady are relatives. If you look up, you will see each other without looking down, why should the young lady make a big deal? I think it would be better to just forget it."

Su Yuan called the housekeeper Liu Bao over. The old man in his fifties was out of breath after running for two steps. He came to Xue Chen and bowed. Xue Chen did not turn around and pointed to Song Yong's family and said directly:

"Who arranged for her to enter the mansion? Send her out? In this yard, I really don't believe that I am not as good as it is. If you don't do it, there will naturally be someone to do it." He pointed to the Sun Bai family and said, "If you send it out, you can do it?"

Sun Bai's family looked at Xue Chen for a moment, then immediately knelt down and bowed, Lu Sheng said, "Yes, I can do it!"

Song Yong's family received the wages of a first-class maid, which was 200 yuan, which was more than twice hers. It would be fine if there was no chance, but whoever didn't have the chance was Bangmao.

Seeing Xue Chen's joke, the Song Yong family thought she was making fun of herself. The housekeeper Liu Bao also felt that the young lady was too casual and wanted to say a few words to Song Yong family: "Oh, look at this matter, the Song Yong family did not listen to the young lady's instructions, but this is a special situation. Young Master Chai is not an outsider. If the young lady keeps this in mind, then it is difficult for us to explain to the princess. What's more, the princess must nod to the person in the mansion. Let's not make trouble for the princess privately. If she turns around, it will be better for us to tell the princess."

Song Yong's family also said, "That's right, I apologize to the young lady. You are a lady from a family. You have learned these things before getting married in the mansion. You can't play tricks."

Xue Chen snorted coldly and said, "Are you finished? What kind of thing you are? Do you dare to say whether I am a joke or not? Okay, I will let you see today whether I have the right to dismiss you."

He turned around and said to Sun Bai's family: "Take Chai Rong with you, let's go to the princess together to ask what should I do about this matter."

As she said that, she turned around. The Sun Bai family knew that this was an opportunity, not to mention that she had already expressed her opinion to the young lady before. If she could not get rid of the Song Yong family, then her life would be difficult for her. She immediately became energetic and winked at the two gardeners behind her. The three of them controlled Chai Rong firmly and followed Xue Chen to Qingcangyuan.

Tao was sitting with the princess, having breakfast, and talking: "I'll give it to you. Your nephew is seventeen this year, so it's time to find him a companion. This woman has a good family background, is well-educated and well-official, and is better than the third rank or above, including the third rank. It's better to be the eldest daughter, and her mother's family is also more powerful."

The princess looked at Tao with some embarrassment, thinking that it would be difficult for her to do this. After all, this is a marriage request, not an order to marry, and she has to see if she wants it or not. But looking at the old sister's trusting look, the princess was a little unable to say it, so she had to let her eat more.

Before the two of them had finished drinking half a bowl of porridge, it was said that the young lady had come to pay her respects. The princess quickly got up and wanted to greet her in person, but was pulled by Tao and said:

"What is the princess doing? There is no reason why mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go to welcome her daughter-in-law in the world. She can only sit and wait for her to come and kneel down and worship tea."

So he refused to let the princess go out. The princess was a little anxious and stretched her head out. She saw that Xue Chen was not alone, and there was a long line of people behind her. Tao saw that among the people, there was also her son, and her arms were held by two gardeners. It was obvious that she was looking for something. She didn't know how this kid offended the young lady of this mansion. Tao's eyes turned, and the evil man first sued and rushed out, saying to the sky and cursed:

"Oh, who is so heartless actually tied you up? Let it go, I don't know who he is? He is your princess' nephew, your nephew! Whoever takes him, I want you to look good later!"

Xue Chen glanced at her coldly, as if he was watching a performer, winked at Sun Bai's family, then passed by Tao, and said, "Get rid of this shrew, I feel upset!"

The Sun Bai family is now tied to a rope, and she is extremely scared. After all, she didn't expect that things would really come to the princess, but now she is in a difficult situation and she doesn't want her to regret it at all. She can only rush forward.

He blocked Tao alone and let Xue Chen enter the house. He relied on his big and round waist to block the door and prevent Tao from entering again. Xue Chen came to the princess to salute her. The princess couldn't help asking:

"What's wrong? Where did Brother Rong offend you?"

Before Xue Chen could speak, Tao shouted: "You little girl with wings that have not yet grown up. Why? You just wanted to show your mighty appearance to me when you got married? I have long disliked you. After all, you are a thing that has a father, no mother teaches you, and no kingly laws."

Xue Chen stepped forward and asked Sun Bai's family to move out of the way. Tao wanted to rush in. Xue Chen slapped her, loud and shocked, and slapped Tao's face to the point.

Then he ignored the shrew and said to the princess: "Mother, my daughter-in-law was coming to pay tribute to her mother before, and happened to meet this outer man. After asking, I realized that he was Mrs. Chai's son and was not covered with blood. How could this outer man walk in the inner courtyard? My mother thinks what I said is not?"

The princess was a little confused. After thinking about it, she nodded and said, "Of course, yes, most of the women in the backyard are women, how can men outside walk at will?"

Xue Chen nodded and continued, "I feel relieved when my mother said yes. Then I ordered someone to capture the man and send it out. Mother thinks it is wrong?"

The princess heard it clearly this time and shook her head quickly: "It's true."

"Maybe at Mrs. Chai's house, she allowed a man from outside to enter her backyard to play with her ladies, but our mansion is different after all. My daughter-in-law did this for the sake of the safety of the women in the mansion. My mother thinks it is wrong?"

Xue Chen was confused by the princess’s three questions in a row, but after hearing what she said, the princess felt that it was reasonable and had no place to refute it.
