Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 240 Aloofness

The supervisor was puzzled. Why was there a man in the car?

This man looks somewhat familiar.

He suddenly remembered the man's identity, and his face turned pale instantly!

"Chen Chen Chen Chen Imperial Censor!" He knelt down with a thud, his words stammering.

Imperial Censor Chen?

The onlookers were shocked to realize that it was indeed true!

Only then did people realize that Liu Yuechu and Liu Musheng were Princess Chen's adopted son and daughter, and Chen Zhongyao was the eldest brother in the family!

As the eldest brother, he naturally had to represent the Liu family to celebrate the birthday of the Left Chancellor's wife.

But has the Left Chancellor's mansion gone mad? Knowing that Chen Zhongyao came with the Liu family, why did they still let them use the side gate?

Despite his low rank, no one dared to offend him. Moreover, Grand Commandant Chen was now the overlord of the Southwest. The Left Chancellor's office was truly courting disaster...

Chen Zhongyao's face was gloomy. With his hands behind his back, he coldly scoffed, "They say that even a third-rank official is above the prime minister's gate. If that's the case, I'm not even as high-ranking as you. I should be the one to give you my heart." He had just been promoted to Left Vice Censor-in-Chief a few days ago, a fourth-rank official.

The steward was sweating profusely, kneeling on the ground and not daring to raise his head. "Imperial Censor Chen is joking. How could this servant dare to compare himself to you?"

"Get up. Weren't you leading us into the mansion?" Chen Zhongyao turned around and personally helped Liu Yuechu down from the carriage. "Since our family's threshold is not as high as the Left Chancellor's mansion, we'll have to get down and walk a few steps."

Liu Yuechu was secretly overjoyed.

She hadn't discussed it with Chen Zhongyao; she was just putting on an act. Chen Zhongyao understood her little scheme perfectly and cooperated flawlessly, making her feel incredibly relieved!

She obediently took Chen Zhongyao's hand and got off the carriage, bowing low. "Brother, don't be angry. Perhaps the Left Chancellor felt that there were too many people in front and it was inconvenient to talk to you. Maybe he is waiting for us inside the side gate. You will see him when you go in."

Isn't it tea? Isn't it a bitch?

It's not that she doesn't know how, she just doesn't want to.

Hearing her words, the person in charge felt even more disheartened, as if he had taken a bath in icy water in winter.

The eldest son wanted to give the Liu family a hard time, so why would he greet them at the side gate? Besides, their master had no idea about this at all…

"Yes, that's right. Master will come to greet us. This servant will go and inform him right away. Imperial Censor Chen, please wait a moment. Young masters, please wait a moment." He scrambled to his feet and staggered back.

Chen Zhongyao stood there with his hands behind his back. He didn't go in, and neither did any of the other guests.

For a moment, the side gate was even more congested than the main gate of the Left Chancellor's residence...

Hou Lai said from the side, "Master, why don't you go inside and rest? There are too many people here, it's too chaotic..." He deliberately used a high-pitched, affected voice.

Liu Yuechu almost burst out laughing, but she understood that Hou Lai wanted to go inside and start investigating the Left Chancellor's residence.

She nodded and looked at Chen Zhongyao, "Why don't we go inside and wait?"

Chen Zhongyao glanced around and felt that this place didn't seem like a place to celebrate a birthday, but rather like a place to be led to the execution ground.

“Then let’s go in first.” He took the first step, followed by Liu Yuechu, and then Liu Musheng and Liu Muchi…

Seeing that Chen Zhongyao had gone in first, no one else intended to join in the fun.

Clearly, the Left Chancellor was unaware that this ancestor had arrived.

Going in at this time would just be watching the Left Chancellor's mansion make a fool of itself, wouldn't it? Everyone has curiosity, but the fear is that the Left Chancellor will hold a grudge. We can't afford to offend Chen Zhongyao; if he takes his anger out on us, we're finished.

"Let's go back to the carriage and wait for a while."

"Don't rush in to pay your respects. There are many people in the mansion, and the Left Chancellor has distinguished guests to entertain."

"I forgot something, I need to take care of it first."

……

The guests all made excuses to stay far away.

At this moment, the steward staggered to the main hall, where the Left Chancellor Jiang Jiuwei was talking with the Vice Minister of Revenue Fang and the heir of the Duke of Jingguo, among others.

Jiang Changyang was also standing nearby, seemingly listening attentively, but actually not paying attention.

By this time, someone had already reported that the Liu family had arrived and had been led to the side gate by the stewards.

Jiang Changyang was overjoyed at his success. What was the Liu family? They were just a run-down merchant family who had to bow their heads in front of the Left Chancellor's mansion. They only knew how to deal in furs and horses. They really didn't know their own worth.

"Brother, is there still no news from the Liu family?" Jiang Yunjiao waited in the backyard for a long time but no one came to report, so she quietly went to the front yard and summoned someone to call Jiang Changyang over to ask.

She was actually hesitant, unsure whether Liu Yuechu would be willing to come.

If she refused, wouldn't all her arrangements have been in vain? As for Liu Musheng, she didn't even want to show her face.

Jiang Changyang disapproved of his sister's concern. "It's just the Liu family. Is it really necessary for you to come here personally to ask?"

“How could it not be? I have my own plans,” Jiang Yunjiao quickly retorted.

"We've arrived. Look at you, so worthless. But I had the steward lead them to the side gate. Father and the elders don't have time to deal with them. Just go to the backyard and wait for the birthday banquet!" Jiang Changyang's tone was full of disdain.

Jiang Yunjiao's eyes widened in disbelief. "You...you actually sent the Liu family to the side gate?!"

His exclamation brought silence to the Left Vice Minister of the front hall.

Upon hearing his father's light cough, Jiang Changyang immediately lowered his voice and scolded, "The highest rank the Liu family can attain is only fourth-rank. What's wrong with taking the side gate? You were betrothed to the Liu family and are about to become their eldest daughter-in-law, but don't forget, you are a member of the Jiang family! I'm just trying to stand up for you, so don't act all aggrieved all day, as if I've bullied you!"

Jiang Yunjiao clenched her fists, feeling a sudden darkness before her eyes. She desperately told herself not to get angry, "That's my husband's family. If you look down on them, you're looking down on me!"

"So you're already standing up for the Liu family?" Jiang Changyang sneered. "Don't forget, you come from the Left Chancellor's mansion. Don't act so worthless!"

……

The argument between the brother and sister naturally reached Jiang Jiuwei's ears. Not wanting his old friends to laugh at him, he instructed his son to go and see what was going on. "Even if you don't care about the monk, you should at least apologize. Go to the side door and wait there. I'll see the brother and sister later."

When he spoke of saving face, he wasn't referring to Jiang Yunjiao, but rather to Consort Yu. Although he also felt that his daughter had suffered a loss by marrying into the Liu family, he accepted it.

Seeing that his father had spoken, Jiang Changyang had no choice but to immediately go to the front and bow to receive the order.

Just as he was about to go over, he saw the steward stagger in.

"What are you panicking about!" Jiang Changyang had nowhere to vent his anger.

The person in charge knelt down again with a "plop," pointing towards the side door, "Coming, coming!" he stammered.

"The Liu family? I know, I'll go take a look!" Jiang Changyang replied dismissively.

The steward waved his hands frantically, "Yes, it's Imperial Censor Chen Zhongyao. He came with the Liu family. He's at the side gate..."

"Dangdang!"

front hall.

The teacup in Jiang Jiuwei's hand fell to the ground with a thud!
