Chapter 1087 Crash
Back then, after the emperor married the first empress, the emperor took advantage of the opportunity when the emperor was busy securing the throne and secretly promoted many people to the throne. The people he promoted became a force in his hands.
And this force, when the former empress fell out of favor and Concubine Lu gained favor, frequently went against the emperor, annoying the emperor again and again.
The emperor has long wanted to eradicate it.
Now, almost a year after the death of the late empress, it is time for the emperor to suppress the power in the hands of the late emperor.
As for Prince Xin's Mansion, it was brought up by the late empress and the head of the country.
Although the emperor said that for the sake of Ao Tianchen, he would not suppress Xin Wangfu, but for people like the Wen family, the emperor might suppress them one day.
The collapse of the Wen family is all a matter of a word from the emperor.
Therefore, after the death of the first queen, the emperor did not promote the first queen's sister to the queen, but married an adopted daughter of the Chu family as the queen. The people of the Wen family began to feel uneasy and frightened, worried that one day the emperor would remember The Wen family will give the Wen family a heavy blow.
Therefore, after Mrs. Wen heard that Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan had come to Jiangning City, she hurriedly condescended to pay homage to Xia Zihan.
Regarding the matter of pawning the votes, Mrs. Wen even planned to make Xia Zihan owe the Wen family a favor, hoping that when the emperor wanted to suppress the Wen family, the Chu family and his son would speak up and save the lives of the Wen family.
It wasn't that Xia Zihan couldn't figure out Mrs. Wen's plan, but she just didn't take it seriously and didn't care.
According to what she knew about the emperor, he was a tolerant and generous person who did not stick to trivial matters. After the late empress died, the emperor might wait until the late empress' mourning period expired to suppress the power of the late father-in-law. But for a small family like the Wen family, , the emperor will not pay attention to it.
What's more, the Wen family is still in-laws of Prince Xin's Mansion, and Prince Xin's Mansion is in-laws with the Second Prince's Mansion. Even if he doesn't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, the emperor will not touch the Wen family. Therefore, Mrs. Wen's worry is totally unnecessary. .
However, Xia Zihan would naturally not tell the old lady about this matter.
Since someone brought the pawn tickets to her door and asked her to redeem the items, she would be stupid to push such a good thing out.
Xia Zihan was in a good mood, so he put the pawn tickets in a box and sent Chu Fei to deliver them to Mr. Xia.
"Tell uncle to send someone to redeem the things here as soon as possible." Xia Zihan ordered.
She was also worried that if she kept this thing in someone else's pawn shop, she would have many nightmares at night.
Who knows if the Wen family will suddenly change their mind one day?
When Chu Fei handed the pawn ticket to Mr. Xia's hands, Mr. Xia thought he was deceived.
When he saw that all the things on the pawn ticket were treasures passed down by the Xia family for several generations, Mr. Xia's eyes turned red with excitement, "Okay, okay, okay, Chu Yu only thinks about the Xia family, I finally didn't It’s no use hurting her.”
He sent almost all the people in the Xia family to search for everything but couldn't find it. Unexpectedly, Chu Yu actually sent someone to give it to him with both hands.
How could this not make him extremely excited?
Mrs. Xia on the side was so excited that she burst into tears.
She wiped away her tears, stretched out her trembling hands, took the box in person, and choked with sobs, "Go back and tell your princess that I will go to the pawn shop with you personally to redeem the things early tomorrow morning, so that she can rest assured."
"I will definitely bring you the message, then I will take my leave." After Chu Fei bowed respectfully, he turned around and left quickly.
I ran too fast, and when I turned the corner out of the door, I ran directly into a warm embrace.
The collision was so fast and fierce that the person who came subconsciously hugged her tightly with one hand and grabbed the door frame with the other hand, and then managed to steady himself, preventing the two of them from falling together. Chu Fei touched his painful nose, raised his apricot eyes, and saw the concerned eyes of the second young master of the Xia family.
Chu Fei suddenly stiffened and looked at the hand that hugged him tightly, with his usual expressionless face, "I have seen the Second Young Master. Second Young Master, your hand..."
The second eldest son of the Xia family had met Chu Fei before in the capital and recognized her as the cold-faced maid who always followed Xia Zihan.
His handsome face turned red, and he hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, it's... the matter was too urgent, so I... did it. I didn't mean to offend you."
"I know." It was rare to see that the second young master, who had always been calm and carefree, could also be anxious and embarrassed at times. Chu Fei had a sly smile in the corner of his eyes.
"The eldest master and the eldest wife are inside. Second young master, please go in. I'm taking my leave." Chu Fei saw the second young master's handsome face and his face turned even redder. If she kept teasing him, he would have fried poached eggs on his face.
When Young Master Xia Er heard this, he hurriedly entered the house as if he were fleeing.
Chu Fei chuckled twice and quickly left Xia Mansion.
When Chu Fei returned to the other courtyard, Xia Zihan had already taken Chu Qingqiao out. Chu Fei didn't find his master and was bored at home, so he went to the street to look for his master.
The first place she looked for was the teahouse.
After walking around for a while, the teahouse was full of guests, but unfortunately there was no sign of Xia Zihan. However, she saw the four masters and apprentices who had fought with them two days ago.
Chu Fei glanced at them coldly, turned around and was about to leave, but the sharp-eyed Le Ying saw her and called her, "Hey, stop, what about you, did you hear me, stop quickly..."
Seeing that Chu Fei was still walking out as if he hadn't heard her words, Le Ying became unhappy. She stood up and ran towards Chu Fei. In the blink of an eye, she blocked Chu Fei's path.
Le Ying glared at her unhappily, "What's going on with you? Why are you ignoring me when I call you?"
"I don't know you." Chu Fei said expressionlessly. She didn't want to get involved with the other party, so she walked around her and wanted to leave the teahouse.
Le Ying screamed angrily, stamped her feet, quickly tugged on her sleeves, and said harshly, "I just want to make friends with you. My name is Le Ying, and I am a female disciple of the Yueshan Sect. I know you, You are the cold-faced maid next to Princess Chu Yu. I... I just want to be a good friend with your princess. I have no other intention. Can you take me to meet your princess? "
In fact, she wanted to be good friends with Chu Jingqi. Unfortunately, Chu Jingqi was naturally cold and didn't like to get close to women, so she had to settle for the next best thing and be friends with Princess Chu Yu.
Princess Chu Yu is Chu Jingqi's daughter-in-law. As long as she becomes his wife's friend, then when he sees her in the future, even for the sake of his wife's face, he will not stay away from her.
In this way, she can see Chu Jingqi often.
Maybe she could get closer to him.
Hehe...
Chu Fei was not curious at all about what Le Ying was thinking, nor did she want to know. She glanced at Le Ying coldly and said expressionlessly, "I'm sorry, my master doesn't want to be friends with you."
Such a little girl looks like a troublemaker at first glance, so it's better to stay away from her.
