Wuyi Lane in the capital, Jinghaihou Mansion!
In the past three days, the entire Hou Mansion seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud. The servants looked heavy, and the butler Yuncheng even looked like his parents were dead.
If the only mistress of the family had not displayed the domineering spirit inherited from the old Zhu family at the critical moment, and the dragon's body shook and attracted the servants in the house to bow to her, I am afraid that the Jinghaihou Mansion, as a new noble in the capital, would have fallen to pieces and dispersed. .
And the culprit who cast a dark cloud over the atmosphere of the Hou Mansion is the owner of the Hou Mansion.
Chen Kan has lost consciousness since he was brought back to the Marquis Mansion by Her Royal Highness the Princess three days ago.
According to the old imperial doctor, Chen Kan's body was already leaking due to toxins attacking his heart and blood, and his body was already leaking, and he was so aroused by Qiu Yu that the chance of waking up was slim.
Then, after the old imperial doctor helped Chen Kan remove the remaining poison from his body, he was driven out of the Marquis Mansion with a broom by Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was always gentle and polite.
In the bedroom of the Hou Mansion, Zhu Yuelan's big eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes.
She hadn't closed her eyes for three days and three nights, just keeping watch over Chen Kan.
She never believed that Chen Kan, who was in his prime, would die like this.
She didn't allow Chen Kan to die like this.
Those murderers have not been brought to justice by his own hands, his ideals and ambitions have not been realized, the people he loves deeply love him deeply, and he has not even left any heirs, so how can he die?
She personally wiped Chen Kan's body with a warm towel.
Looking at the dense scars on Chen Kan's body, a tear fell down and was quickly wiped away by her.
The maid is still standing by. She is the mistress of this palace and the god of this palace. She cannot cry.
The personal maid Zhu Yuelan brought from the princess's mansion walked in softly and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, your majesty sent people to deliver many precious medicinal materials and rewards, and asked the chamberlain who delivered the medicine to convey a message to you. talk."
Zhu Yuelan quickly gathered her emotions and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"His Majesty said that Mr. Hou Yeji will be fine by his nature. Please don't be too sad and pay attention to your health. He will come to see you after he has finished the business at hand."
After listening to the maid's words, Zhu Yuelan forced a smile and said: "Ask the chamberlain to go back and tell the father that nothing happens in this palace, and please don't worry about him, and that all matters of state are the most important thing."
"yes."
When the maid turned around and went out, Zhu Yuelan put the towel back into the hot water basin and told the maid holding the basin: "You go out first, I... I want to be alone with my husband for a while."
"Yes, Your Highness, that medicine?"
"I will give you the medicine later."
In response, Zhu Yuelan grabbed Chen Kan's hand and stopped talking.
When the maid saw this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Mr. Hou is such a good person.
He is young, promising and handsome. He treats his servants like his family. Not only does he let them have enough to eat, but he also gives them wages to work. He does not beat and scold his servants like other masters.
How could anyone want to murder such a kind person?
The people of Shanghai Marquis are really bad guys.
After carrying the basin and walking out of the room, the maid carefully closed the door for them.
He knew that Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Marquis did not like to be disturbed when they were alone.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Zhu Yuelan finally couldn't help the deep sadness in her heart, and tears fell silently from the corners of her eyes.
"Husband, please wake up quickly, I can't bear it anymore."
Zhu Yuelan didn't even dare to speak loudly, she only dared to whisper softly.
She was afraid that others would see her weak and incompetent, and that she would not be able to support the family.
The background of the Hou Mansion is too shallow. Even if she is honored as a princess, in the final analysis, she is just a seventeen-year-old girl.
She was afraid that if something happened to Chen Kan, she would not be able to keep the family fortune that Chen Kan had worked so hard to earn.
Now she only dared to lean on the edge of Chen Kan's bed and sob when no one was around.
She held Chen Kan's hand tightly, fearing that everything would disappear if she let go.
"Woooooo...~"
Weak sobs sounded, and the corners of Chen Kan's eyes suddenly twitched. He wanted to open his eyes, but he found that even if he tried his best, he still couldn't see the light again.
During these three days and nights, Chen Kan felt that his consciousness was sometimes clear and sometimes chaotic.
He could clearly hear every word Zhu Yuelan said in his ear.
Including the sentence: "If anything happens to you, I will go with you."
He is now very worried about what stupid thing this silly girl will do. He wants to open his eyes and tell him: "I'm not dead, I'm fine. I already know who is planning these things behind the scenes..."
But he couldn't control his body.
It was like being suffocated by a nightmare while sleeping. Although his consciousness was awake, he could not regain control of his body no matter how hard he struggled.
It feels bad, really bad.
Listening to Zhu Yuelan's sobs, Chen Kan felt extremely heartbroken.
In the past three days, this simple and silly girl must have endured a lot, right?
There are no lambs in the capital, they are all wolves that eat people without spitting out their bones.
She not only has to take care of herself and worry about her body, but she also has to resist the naked malice coming from the dark. It must be very hard, right?
Chen Kan knew very well how many people were coveting the capital he had.
Not to mention the power of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, which controls the security of the entire capital and is vaguely superior to the power of Yingtian Mansion Office, many people are jealous of it.
There are also three components of perfume and soap. Over the past few quarters, they have brought an income of at least 300,000 yuan to the entire Hou Mansion.
And the generals who cooperated with him should have turned into evil wolves by now and started to steal their own members, right?
This simple, silly girl must be extremely tired after enduring so many things in the past few days, right?
Chen Kan's heart was aching.
Originally, these things were the responsibility of him as the head of the family, but now he could only lie on the bed helplessly, unable to do anything.
Watching this silly girl go from being able to even feed herself water into her nostrils, to now being able to skillfully handle the excrement he left on the bed.
Chen Kan couldn't help but feel helpless.
The deep feeling of powerlessness coming from the depths of his heart almost swallowed up Chen Kan's consciousness completely.
Unconsciously, Chen Kan's consciousness fell into chaos again.
...
...
I don't know how long time passed, but Chen Kan seemed to hear a quarrel coming from outside the door.
One of the voices was very familiar to Chen Kan. It was the voice of his wife, Princess Zhu Yuelan of Changning.
The other two voices were somewhat familiar, but Chen Kan couldn't remember where he had heard them.
"It's impossible. Even if my husband is lying half-dead in bed now, you can't get your hands on his things. I advise you to give up on this idea."
Zhu Yuelan's voice was so decisive that even if Chen Kan couldn't open his eyes, he seemed to be able to see the suppressed anger on Zhu Yuelan's face through the door.
Chen Kan finally remembered where he heard those two voices. It was in the harem during Yuan Zheng's reign and at Zhu Di's family banquet.
It was the voices of Zhu Yuelan's two sisters, Princess Yongan and Princess Yongping.
"Sister, I'm doing this for your own good. It's been three months, and the imperial doctor has long concluded that Chen Kan has become a living dead and will never wake up again in this life. You can't keep such a big body alone. Instead of taking advantage of outsiders, it is better for a family member to..."
This is the voice of Princess Yongping.
"Yes, sister, we have already discussed it with my father, and he has agreed. As the saying goes, wealth should not go to outsiders. Besides, we don't want your share in vain. We can pay for it."
This is the voice of Princess Yongan.
Chen Kan realized it.
The old routine that has remained unchanged for thousands of years is the drama of taking possession of family property by force.
It must be that the two older sisters took a fancy to the widowed girl's shares in soap and perfume. They took advantage of her being unconscious and came to play the emotional card.
However, are the royal people also so superficial?
As soon as you open your mouth, it means that we are also doing it for your own good?
Somehow, Chen Kan didn't feel any shame or anger in his heart, but rather wanted to laugh.
It turns out that when the Chinese people have been competing for interests for thousands of years, they always have only one excuse. This is so ridiculous.
Putting this matter behind him, Chen Kan began to pay attention to another piece of information revealed by Princess Yongping.
Does she mean that she has been in a coma for three months?
And he was defined as a living dead by the imperial doctor?
No, no, no, could it be that the mission that God asked me to come to Ming Dynasty has been completed, and now my account is going to be reclaimed?
Can't it be archived?
In the room, Chen Kan was thinking wildly.
Outside the room, Zhu Yuelan looked shocked and angry.
She looked at the two half-sisters in front of her who were complimenting her endlessly when her husband was conferring a banquet with guests. She couldn't understand why their thirty-seventh degree mouths would say such amazing things. Chilling words?
Princess Yong'an looked at Zhu Yuelan's little face that looked a little red and haggard because of anger, with an expression on her face that said, "I am thinking about you."
There was a trace of pity in her eyes, and she said softly: "Little sister, one hundred thousand yuan is really not a small amount to buy."
There was a hint of schadenfreude in Princess Yongping's eyes. She had long been dissatisfied that a concubine's princess was marrying better than her, a legitimate princess.
However, Chen Kan was indeed better than his husband. In the past, she could only hide this dissatisfaction or jealousy in her heart.
But as the saying goes, a tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Chen Kan was so outstanding that even God could not stand it anymore, so he took her back as his nominal brother-in-law.
This may be God's will.
She showed a distressed look and spoke up for Princess Yong'an: "Yes, little sister, you have three parts of the molecules, even if you sell them to us for 20%, you will still have 10%. They are all from your own family. If you don't sell them to us, how can you still give them to us?" Are you going to sell it to outsiders?"
Zhu Yuelan looked at the two sisters singing in disbelief. She really couldn't believe that these two sisters would join forces to seize her husband's local property.
In particular, they actually wanted to spend 200,000 yuan to buy two parts of soap and perfume. Why didn't they realize that they were such shameless people before?
"Little sister, you don't want these things to fall into the hands of outsiders, do you?"
"What's more, Chen Kan has become a useless person now, and you two have no heirs. Do you really want to guard this useless person for the rest of your life?"
Princess Yongan was still nagging Zhu Yuelan.
"Don't worry about it."
"Get out of here!"
"You are not welcome in the Marquis Mansion."
Zhu Yuelan finally got mad. His thin little face was full of anger. He pointed at the moon gate in the backyard and shouted: "Get out."
Being scolded by Zhu Yuelan in this way, the faces of the two princesses suddenly became a little ugly.
Princess Yongping said in a deep voice: "Little sister, we are also doing this for your own good. You are still so young, so why not exchange your shares for money? With this money, please ask your father to make you a wishful husband again. Why bother?" Guarding a living dead and suffering?"
Zhu Yuelan suppressed the anger in her heart and pointed at the moon gate: "I told you to get lost, can't you hear me?"
"Also, let me tell you, don't tell me that my husband is not dead yet. Even if he dies, I will keep this family property for him. Just give up on this. From now on, we will never be sworn in. , no longer sisters."
The two princesses' faces turned blue and white as they were scolded by Zhu Yuelan.
But when they think about the huge benefits that those two components can bring, and the earnest instructions from their husbands when they came, if they just retreat, where will their face be?
What's more, when they go out, they have sex with their husbands.
How could this little girl, who had only been married for less than a year, become so difficult to deal with?
Princess Yong'an took a deep breath and suppressed the displeasure of being scolded by Zhu Yuelan deep in her heart.
Then he looked at the furious Zhu Yuelan and comforted him: "Little sister, there is no point in being a widow for him. The imperial doctor also said that with Chen Kan's current physical condition, there is no possibility of you giving birth to an heir."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Zhu Yuelan said coldly: "That has nothing to do with you. From the moment I married him, I have identified him for the rest of my life. Even if I have no heirs, I will live by him. As for the property of the Hou Mansion, I I would rather donate it to the national treasury than let you get a cent of it, so just give up on this idea."
"Yuncheng, see the guests off!"
After saying the cruel words, Zhu Yuelan turned around and entered the room.
Yun Cheng, who was standing not far away, took a step forward with a gloomy face: "Your Highnesses, you are not welcome in our Marquis Mansion, so please leave as soon as possible."
The two princesses were usually aloof figures. Today, they were not only scolded by their own sisters, but also scorned by a servant. The two princesses could not hold back their tempers, and they suddenly became angry. It poured towards Yuncheng.
Princess Yongping looked at Yuncheng coldly: "You are a lowly and low-class slave. You are not as good as a pig or a dog. You dare to show shame to me. I think you don't want to live anymore."
But Yun Cheng looked at her without any fear: "Shall the two princesses go out on their own, or will the villain ask someone to throw you out?"
As soon as Yun Cheng finished speaking, the two of them seemed to have heard some big joke, with incredible expressions on their faces.
They are the princess of Ming Dynasty.
When did a lowly servant dare to talk to them like this?
