Qin Wanru quickly came to his senses, now is not the time to think about this.

She hurriedly pulled Zu An's sleeve and said, "Let's run quickly, before the city gate is closed. If we don't run, it will be too late."

After saying that, he was about to tell Yue Shan to change direction, but he was worried about You Zhao and thought about picking her up together.

Zu An stopped her: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, the matter has been resolved."

"Solved? How." Qin Wanru was startled. Obviously, this matter was beyond the scope of her brain. A noble prince was killed, how could it be solved.

Zu An explained: "The Embroidered Clothes Messenger sent people to investigate. It was not that King Jin died directly at my hands, but because he was too weak and was so angry that he died. Moreover, they found out that someone was behind the scenes to encourage King Jin to deal with me. The purpose is to cut off the power of the East Palace, so now the whole thing is turning to investigating the mastermind behind it.”

Seeing how scared she was just now, it's better not to tell her the truth.

Qin Wanru patted her chest: "I was scared to death. Halfway through, I thought you really killed the prince yourself."

Chu Huaizhao was a little dissatisfied: "The prince was scared to death because of his brother-in-law."

Qin Wanru said angrily: "Is this something worth bragging about? I don't know how many people are afraid of getting involved, but you are still rushing to get involved with him."

"Oh, let's talk privately, I think my brother-in-law can even do the prince's job, so majestic." Chu also stuck out his tongue and made a face.

Qin Wanru snorted and then looked at Zu An: "Azu, is it really okay? It should be too late to run now."

Zu An smiled and said: "No need to run, there is really no problem. The court will deal with this matter today. If there is a problem, how can they let me out?"

Qin Wanru thought the same thing. Thinking that he had been frightened just now, he educated him earnestly: "Azu, I used to see you as a mature and steady-tempered person. Why are you so reckless after coming to the capital..."

Chu Huizhao rolled his eyes. When did his brother-in-law have anything to do with maturity and stability? That mean look made many people hate him. On the contrary, after meeting his brother-in-law again this time, he felt that he was a lot more mature and stable.

Qin Wanru glared at her daughter and warned her not to hold back, and then continued: "There are many powerful people in the capital, and the background of many aristocratic families should not be underestimated. If you are too high-profile and make too many enemies, it is not a good thing. "

Zu An smiled slightly and did not explain: "Actually, I don't need to worry about anyone now. Mother-in-law, just relax."

Chu Huanzhao's eyes lit up, thinking that my brother-in-law is so domineering like this, I like it so much.

Qin Wanru was a little speechless. Back in Mingyue City, this boy liked to talk big words, but she didn't like it very much at that time.

I didn’t expect that after so many years, I still have this problem.

Originally, I subconsciously wanted to teach him a few words, but then I thought about it. Now that the other party is young and successful, it is normal for him to be arrogant.

Moreover, the other party dares to hit even princes and princes. What if I make him impatient and he hits me?

Thinking of this, she twisted unnaturally and changed the topic: "That's fine, you just have to know what's going on."

At this time, Chu also swaggered Zu An's arm: "Brother-in-law, these days, along the way, I heard people around the capital talking about Zishan, and besides talking about you, they talked about you the most. I heard someone said that you are also a high official of the Monster Clan. What on earth is this? Who is pouring dirty water on you? It’s obvious that he wants to harm you.”

After all, colluding with the demon clan was a serious crime in the Zhou Dynasty, and he didn't know who wanted to harm his brother-in-law.

Zu An looked a little strange: "This is not to throw dirty water. I am indeed the regent of the demon clan. It is precisely because of this status that the human race does not dare to touch me easily."

"Regent...Prince Regent?" Qin Wanru was startled, and his mouth was so wide open that he could stuff an egg into it. He originally thought that he was appreciated by the Crown Princess. He had many part-time jobs and was named a Marquis at his age. It's unprecedented, so who knew there was a more exciting identity.

The regent of the demon clan, isn't that one person is inferior to ten thousand people?

"Brother-in-law is so amazing, he is actually the regent!" Chu Huanzhao was so shocked that he almost jumped up in his seat.

, looking at Zu An with eyes filled with admiration.

"Do you know what the regent does?" Qin Wanru rolled his eyes. Who just said that being a high official in the Monster Clan was someone else's fault? He gnashed his teeth when he mentioned the Monster Clan. Can the transformation not be so abrupt now?

"I don't know, but my brother-in-law must be a very powerful official." Chu Huanzhao curved his thin red lips into a cute arc.

"I told you not to study hard in the academy and only know how to play," Qin Wanru felt a little tired, so she helped explain what the concept of regent was, and then looked at Zu An, her voice became a little softer, "Azu, am I right?"

Damn it, why am I afraid to speak loudly in front of him.

No, we can't let him find out my bottom, otherwise he might bully me even more unscrupulously in the future.

I want to maintain the majesty of my mother-in-law!

"That's pretty much it. However, the demon clan is in a special situation now. Only the little demon queen and the young emperor are left. They need to rely on me to ensure their status. Maybe I, the regent, have greater freedom than in previous generations." Zu An explained.

"Little Demon Queen? I have heard about her a few years ago. I heard that she is very beautiful, so the old Demon Emperor made an exception and made her the new queen. Is she really that beautiful?" Qin Wanru thought of what she had heard a few years ago. I couldn't help but ask about some rumors.

Chu Huanzhao also asked gossipingly: "Is she as beautiful as my mother?"

Qin Wanru's face turned red: "Child like you, how dare you compare with someone like me who is the queen of a country?"

Zu An replied: "They are all beauties of the same level. The plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums are good at each. The Little Demon Queen is more coquettish and charming, and the mother-in-law is more dignified and mature."

I thought to myself, Little Demon Queen, don’t blame me, what else can I say in this situation.

"Oh, I'm not as good as you praise me. I'm definitely not as good as the Little Demon Queen." Qin Wanru said modestly, stroking her face.

Chu Huizhao on the side directly exposed her: "Mom, you laughed so hard that the corners of your mouth were split to the base of your ears."

Qin Wanru's face was a little confused, so he went over to pinch her: "Damn girl, your skin is itchy, right?"

"Oh, I was wrong, brother-in-law, please save me." Chu Huan moved his petite body around Zu An to avoid his mother's attack.

Feeling the fight between the two women, Zu An felt a sense of warmth in his heart. This is the feeling of home, so good.

The two quarreled for a while, and Qin Wanru also realized that it was a bit inappropriate, and sat back down. While arranging his somewhat messy clothes, he asked: "Azu, what is your identity as the regent of the demon clan? It won’t cause trouble. When the time comes, they will put you under house arrest and use you as a hostage to extract benefits from the demon clan or something like that?”

Coming from a wealthy family, she first considers the interests of her family, and the court comes second.

Although the human race and the demon race are feuding, the Chu family has no grudges against them. On the contrary, the imperial court suppressed the Chu family several times, which almost caused the Chu family to be destroyed. Now that the Qin family has followed in their footsteps, it is natural that they stand on Zu An's side. While thinking about it.

"If the emperor is still here, it will be a bit troublesome. It doesn't matter now." Zu An comforted him with a smile.

Qin Wanru was stunned: "The emperor is really dead?"

Although I have heard a lot of rumors before, they have not been announced publicly, so there is no way to confirm it.

Zu An nodded: "I can't die anymore."

While Qin Wanru was sighing with emotion, Chu Huanzhao was not interested in this. Instead, he asked: "Brother-in-law, the little demon queen is so beautiful and needs to rely on you. Has she ever seduced you?"

Zu An had a dark line: "You are a kid, how do you know what seduction is?"

"I'm not young anymore!" Chu also puffed out his chest, obviously very dissatisfied with his remarks.

Fortunately, Qin Wanru stopped her daughter from continuing to ask: "What are you thinking in your little head? Even if your brother-in-law has that intention, what kind of person is the Little Demon Queen? How can he have anything to do with a human being? Can you imagine? Will the queen and crown princess of this dynasty have a sexual relationship with your brother-in-law?"

"That's true." Chu Huanzhao breathed a sigh of relief.

Zu An glanced at Qin Wanru

, I thought to myself, are you praising me or hurting me?

"Brother-in-law, what's going on over there with the demon clan? I heard that the demon clan all eats people?" The girl's mind was also racing, and Chu Huanzhao quickly focused on other issues.

"It's not that exaggerated. The demon clan is actually similar to the human clan, but the bloodline is different..." Zu An then gave her a general introduction to the situation on the demon clan.

Chu Huanzhao listened with great interest, and the time passed quickly.

The group arrived at the entrance of the National College.

At this time, a cold voice suddenly came from outside: "No carriages are allowed in the important area of ​​the academy."

At this time, Yue Shan's voice rang out: "Brother, we are from Mingyue Gong's mansion. Our eldest son happens to live in the mountain behind you. It's a bit inconvenient to have a female family member in the car. I wonder if we can be accommodating."

"It's not easy to do anything. Even if the prince comes, you have to get off the car and walk." The cold voice came again.

Qin Wanru didn't have the arrogance he had in Mingyue City, so he hurriedly stopped Yue Shan: "We'll just get off the car."

The National College is such a sacred place, and the sacrificial wine is a legendary god-like existence. How could she dare to cause trouble here.

Zu An motioned for her to sit down again: "It doesn't matter, I'll go talk to them."

Qin Wanru's heart skipped a beat: "Azu, please don't be impulsive. We'll just get out of the car and walk. Don't do anything. You must know that this academy is a legendary earthly immortal, and all the direct disciples under his command are top-notch." Masters are not something we can afford to offend."

Zu An looked a little weird: "Don't worry, there won't be any conflict."

After saying that, he lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car. Qin Wanru was worried and quietly opened the curtain to look out.

He couldn't hear clearly what Zu An and the disciple guarding the door were saying. At first, the disciple was a little cold and arrogant, but suddenly he began to bow to Zu An with a very enthusiastic expression, and then took the initiative to call for the carriage to drive in. They looked like two people just now. .

Chu Huanzhao's little head stuck out from below, and when he saw it he exclaimed: "Brother-in-law seems to be doing well in the academy."

Qin Wanru put down the curtain and murmured in a low voice: "It may not be a good thing for us if he lives too well. Then he may not take our Chu family seriously. He just stared at me."

Chu was stunned for a moment: "Ah, he just glanced at you. Maybe it's because you're so beautiful, Mom, that he couldn't help but take another look."

"Bah," Qin Wanru's face turned slightly red, "He was clearly glaring at me, which made me scared. Now I don't even dare to speak to him loudly."

Chu Huanzhao said with a smile: "Who made you be so cruel to him before? This is called a guilty conscience."

"Did you ever say that about those years ago?" Qin Wanru was a little embarrassed, so he directly grabbed her mouth, and the mother and daughter soon started to fight again.

"What are you doing?" At this time, the curtain was opened and Zu An came in again.

"It's nothing." Qin Wanru straightened her messy bun, "Did those people let them go because of Principal Jiang?"

Zu An looked strange: "That's right..."

"Azu, you have to thank Principal Jiang. She was very kind to you back then, and now the college takes such good care of you. Although you are the regent of the demon race, you can't control the human race. You can't forget your roots. .”

"My mother-in-law taught me that I will take good care of her."

"Take care of?" Qin Wanru frowned, always feeling that this word was used a bit strangely. Isn't someone taking care of you?
