Since the divorce, the Chu family has been neglected for a long time. Tonight, a rare guest came to the Chu family.
A voice shouted in the distance: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! The Crown Princess has arrived!"
Chu Yuxiao, who was walking out, was suddenly frightened, froze at her feet, and looked up in disbelief.
A servant came in a hurry, with a bit of panic in his steps: "Young Master! Young Master! The Crown Prince...the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have arrived, and the car has already arrived outside the gate..."
Chu Yuxiao panicked, turned around and ran towards the house.
"What's going on?" Chu Yuanzhong and Concubine Chen walked out one after another. Seeing him in a panic, they couldn't help but angrily yelled, "When the Crown Prince and Crown Princess arrive, why don't you kneel down to greet them? How can you be so hurried and reckless?"
Chu Yuxiao looked nervous and pointed at the clothes on her body uneasily: "Father, I...can I see the prince in this clothes?"
He had been on duty at night for the past few days, and he was wearing the uniform of the Forbidden Army. If the prince and princess saw him dressed like this, he would not know how to explain it.
He was even more afraid that the prince would find out about sneaking into the imperial army through the back door, and if he was sentenced to a serious crime later, he would be unable to bear the consequences.
Chu Yuxiao thought that she had offended the prince and the princess more than once, and she was not afraid of it. After Chu Yunfei became the prince, not only did she never return home once, but she also never thought about giving her father a chance to be promoted. I couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
If it was Yun Jiao who married Rong Cang in the first place, now Yun Jiao would definitely spare no effort to help the family, help his father rise to prominence, and help his brother become famous.
How can she be like Chu Yunfei, a white-eyed wolf who not only refuses to help, but even encourages her parents to divorce? Is there such a cold-blooded and heartless daughter in the world?
However, the crown prince and crown princess now have a high status, one person is inferior to ten thousand people, and they cannot afford to offend them. Even if they are dissatisfied, Chu Yuxiao will never dare to show it again.
Chu Yuanzhong's expression changed: "Hurry back and change clothes."
"yes."
Chu Yuxiao ran away as if there was a wolf chasing her. The next moment, Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei came side by side, followed by several palace maids and guards.
The ostentation is not too big, but it is definitely not small either.
Chu Yuanzhong and Aunt Chen hurriedly walked to the front yard and knelt down to greet the prince: "I see His Highness the Crown Prince and see the Crown Princess."
"Concubine, see His Highness the Crown Prince, see... see His Highness the Crown Princess!"
Chu Yunfei said nothing, but quietly looked at the long-lost mansion. After not visiting for several months, the Chu family was obviously a little more depressed.
This mansion was the size of a third-grade official. Chu Yuanzhong was demoted from his official position and could no longer live here according to the rules. However, maybe because he was the prince's father-in-law, the emperor did not order him to move out, and the court also No one mentioned this.
It's just that since Mrs. Chu left, Chu Yuanzhong looked a lot shabbier. Aunt Chen didn't have many pendants on her body. It was already autumn, but Mrs. Chen was still wearing last year's clothes. She didn't even have the money to make new autumn clothes this year. .
But this is normal.
In the past, Chu Yuanzhong's salary was not high. It was difficult to maintain the family's expenses and deal with external favors. If it weren't for Mrs. Chu's dowry supplement, how could he live so well?
Now that Mrs. Chu has left with her dowry, Chu Yuanzhong, a heartless and unjust man, has been demoted again, and his salary has dropped to the bottom. How can their life be better?
Chu Yunfei looked away and looked at her father and Aunt Chen who were kneeling in front of them. Both of them looked frightened and uneasy. They were no longer as arrogant as before. Behind them were a few slaves kneeling. Everyone was in low spirits and looked listless.
"Without courtesy." Rong Cang's voice was as indifferent as usual, without deliberately making things difficult, and without any warmth towards his father-in-law, "Where is Chu Yuxiao?"
Chu Yuanzhong was startled and said hurriedly: "He...he learned that the Crown Prince was coming and was changing clothes in the room. He came soon."
Aunt Chen stood aside, her head lowered, holding the handkerchief awkwardly, not daring to speak.
Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei entered the front hall, and Chu Yuanzhong followed with lowered eyes. He heard Chu Yunfei say: "After my mother left, I thought my father would live a more comfortable life. It seems that is not the case today."
Chu Yuanzhong looked stern: "Yun Fei, we are father and daughter, broken bones and connected tendons..."
"Father and daughter?" Chu Yunfei chuckled, "Why is father so nervous? I didn't say I wanted to sever ties with you."
The jealousy and annoyance in Aunt Chen's heart almost overwhelmed her. She thought that Yun Jiao was clearly liked by Rong Cang at the beginning. If Chu Yunfei hadn't blocked it, after Rong Cang was established as the prince, how could Yun Jiao be able to become the prince? Concubine, why are they living so hard?
But now...
The sound of footsteps came from outside, and Chu Yuxiao, who had changed into a blue robe, came to the door, slowed down her steps, and walked in pretending to be calm, but she still couldn't hide the slight panic when she saluted: "See you, the prince, see the princess. "
Although their attitudes were completely different from before, the attitudes of the family of three were not exactly enthusiastic, and they did not even completely hide their dissatisfaction under the respectful manner.
Chu Yunfei sat peacefully on the chair and did not speak.
After her mother He Li left, she no longer had any relationship with this family. If Chu Yuxiao, an idiot, wasn't exploited and promoted into the Forbidden Army, she wouldn't even bother to return to the Chu family.
Rong Cang said indifferently: "Chu Yuxiao, what have you been doing recently?"
Chu Yuxiao's expression tightened, and she lowered her head and said, "Go back to Your Majesty the Crown Prince, I... I'm studying at home."
"Studying?" Chu Yun Fei raised his lips, "Brother has started to study diligently and make progress recently?"
Chu Yuxiao avoided her eyes with a guilty conscience: "Well, yes... yes, I want to study and gain fame, but I can't embarrass my father..."
"That's right, that's right." Aunt Chen quickly agreed, "A son like Yu Xiao in the Chu family cannot always strive for improvement. He has been studying very seriously recently. In another three years, he should be able to bring glory to the Chu family."
Chu Yunfei smiled: "We have been apart for three days. Should we look at each other with admiration?"
Chu Yuxiao felt guilty and lowered her head without daring to speak.
Chu Yuanzhong couldn't figure out the reason for Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei's sudden visit, but he knew that Yuxiao's duty time was coming soon. He was on duty at night during this period. If he missed the time, something would happen.
But he couldn't open his mouth to chase people away, so he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"It's a good thing that my eldest brother is willing to make progress, but don't be stupid enough to be taken advantage of. It's better to implicate the whole family." Chu Yunfei glanced at his father pointedly, "At least I can support myself with my father's salary. , if you do something you shouldn't do..."
Chu Yuanzhong's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had an uneasy premonition.
What does Chu Yunfei mean by this sentence?
