The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Chapter 230 You're Really Smart

Shi Anxia had long known that his grandfather was unreliable, but when something really happened, he was still heartbroken to see his grandfather pretending to be deaf and dumb.

She said calmly, "Mother, don't worry about it. You shouldn't have any expectations of your grandfather and father."

Tang Chujun snorted, thinking that a man would be honest only if he was hung on the wall, so he stood up and said, "Let's go and see if your father is dead."

Shi Anxia: “…” Haha, father, you’ll just have to wish me good luck.

The mother and daughter went to Xuanlan Courtyard, which was the courtyard where the concubine Qiu lived.

After Shi Chengxuan fell and got injured, he took turns living in the courtyards of the concubines. One took care of her for two days, and the other waited on her for two nights. Fortunately, he had many concubines, so he had enough to do.

Except for Aunt Han who had to take care of Shi Yunshu in Haitang Courtyard and couldn't take care of him at the same time, the other concubines took turns to take care of him, and it happened to be Qiu's turn these two days.

Tang Chujun sat down in the main hall of Xuanlan Courtyard with a fierce look on his face, "Where is your Second Master? Bring him up here!"

It was rare for Mrs. Qiu to see her mistress, who was always kind and gentle, looking like she was about to kill someone. Her heart was pounding, "Second Master, he, he, he..."

Before he finished, he heard a sound outside the house. Qiu was overjoyed, "Second Master is back!"

Before the joy was over, Shi Chengxuan was heard ordering the maids in the yard in a loud voice, "If the Madam comes to visit, tell her I'm not here!"

Qiu, who was just coming out of the house, had a frozen smile on her face. She couldn't even put down her leg that was about to cross the threshold. "..."

My Lord! The ancestor in the room is waiting for you with a sullen face!

Can't you just go back to your room quietly? Why do you have to shout so loudly, as if you're afraid that people won't know you're back!

She didn't dare to speak to remind him, so she could only make faces to remind him to speak less.

But the man didn't realize it and kept shouting, "Is there dust in your eyes? And your mouth is crooked! Don't you pay attention to your appearance?"

Qiu: “!!!” Let me remind you again, I am not a human being, I still have dignity!

Her soft voice, coupled with a gentle smile, "Hello, Second Master. Madam is waiting for you inside."

Shi Chengxuan: "!!!"

Boom! A bolt from the blue!

Why didn't anyone inform him? He glared at the maid and at Qiu.

The maid who was sweeping the floor was about to cry. You yelled at me as soon as I came in. How could I have the time to report to you that my wife was here?

Shi Chengxuan's legs, which used to be able to walk very fast, immediately became lame. He limped into the house and smiled, "My wife is here."

Tang Chujun also smiled sinisterly, which made people feel uneasy. "Yeah, if you didn't come, I wouldn't know you said you were not here."

Shi Chengxuan clenched his fists and blocked his forehead, cleared his throat a few times, and didn't dare to look at Tang Chujun's aggressive face.

To be honest, he still likes women who speak softly.

As for this type, only the face is pretty, the rest are really not as good as the concubines in his harem.

Look, he’s so fierce again!

If it wasn't for Shi Chengxuan who wanted her, who would want her? To marry her and worship her as an ancestor?

Thinking of this, Shi Chengxuan became tough and scolded with a stern face, "Xia'er doesn't even show courtesy to me as his father. Who taught you this rule?"

Shi Anxia came out from behind the chair where her mother was sitting with a half-smile on her face, and bowed deeply, "Hello, father! I knelt in Chaoyang Hall for too long that day, and I became so dizzy that I forgot the rules. Please forgive me, father!"

Shi Chengxuan: “!!!” Why did you mention Chaoyang Palace? You did it on purpose!

Tang Chujun got angry when he saw Shi Chengxuan's cowardly look, and said coldly, "You're still talking about rules! Are there any rules in Jian'an Marquis' Mansion? The old lady can change her son, the concubine can be the head of the family, and you guys are shameless enough to touch my dowry! And you're still talking about rules!"

Here it comes again and again! These few sentences again, can there be something new? Shi Chengxuan thought to himself.

Then, something new came up, "You wrote a letter of divorce, and life is unbearable. We will part ways and never see each other again, it makes me angry just looking at it!"

"Don't ask for a divorce all the time!" Shi Chengxuan was most afraid of this. He lifted the corner of his robe, sat on the chair, and pretended to be dead. "What's wrong? I didn't provoke you."

"You didn't mess with me!" Tang Chujun slammed the table and exploded, "Sixteen years ago, your mother and your concubine exchanged my son! Sixteen years later, you and your father want to sell my son again! Shi Chengxuan, do you think that I, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Huguo, am a sick cat? You just ride on my head and bully me at will!"

Shi Chengxuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the teacup bounce on the table. But he didn't cancel the engagement himself, it was his father who did it, and he couldn't take the blame. "Mr. Chu, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Tang Chujun got even more angry when he saw his ignorant and stupid look, "You don't understand, right? Then let me remind you! You and your father took advantage of us being busy with our own affairs and canceled the marriage with the Wei family without authorization! Aren't you planning to sell my son to Princess Chanyu as her son-in-law?"

Shi Chengxuan sighed, "Mr. Chu, what you said is too harsh. Why do you want to sell Qi'er to Princess Chanyu as a son-in-law? Aren't you happy to be a relative of Princess Chanyu? Princess Chanyu is a member of the royal family! We are so lucky to have our ancestors..."

Tang Chujun was so angry that his lungs exploded. "I think you want to live in the ancestral tomb with green smoke coming out. Do you want me to give you a ride?"

Shi Chengxuan got angry after being scolded. When the young master got angry, he felt that Tang Chujun was unreasonable. "It's true that I feel guilty about the child swap. But I'm also a father, and I cherish Qi'er as much as you do. I'm happy that he has made progress. Isn't it even better that Princess Fengyang likes Qi'er? I really don't understand why you are so angry!"

Shi Anxia patted her mother soothingly, then looked at her father and asked calmly, "What did Princess Chanyu promise you and grandfather that made you so impatient to break off the engagement in the next few days?"

Shi Chengxuan felt uncomfortable for a moment, but soon he straightened up and said, "If you're not looking for me, I don't know anything about this."

Shi Anxia nodded. "That is to say, you have never been involved in this matter, is that what you mean?"

Shi Chengxuan turned his face away and did not answer.

Shi Anxia asked again, "In other words, all of this was Grandfather's idea? You never knew about it?"

Shi Chengxuan recalled the day his father came to him excitedly and told him that the Marquisate was saved! Princess Chanyu agreed to speak well of the Marquisate of Jian'an to the Emperor, on the condition that Shi Yunqi and Wei Cailing canceled their engagement.

He then said confidently, "Princess Chanyu is a good person. This time the Marquisate was able to overcome the difficulties thanks to her. I don't think there is anything wrong with father canceling this marriage."

Shi Anxia almost laughed out loud, but her eyes were filled with coldness, "So grandpa and father thought that our mansion was able to escape danger completely because of Princess Chanyu's reputation?"

"What else?" Shi Chengxuan held his head high and chest puffed out, very proud, "Don't think that I don't care about my family just because I didn't go with you to kneel down and apologize in Chaoyang Palace! Sometimes, you have to use your brain to get things done! It can't be done by kneeling or wearing a set of guilt clothes! Brain! Got it!"

"You really have a brain!" Shi Anxia praised coolly.

When Shi Chengxuan was feeling proud, Uncle Fu came again, "Second Master, Second Madam, the master wants you to come over."
