After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

For a time, the atmosphere in the hall was like a bowstring being tightened, and conflicts were about to break out.

Chen Mianguan never expected that Pei Chuchu, who seemed gentle and aloof, could actually say such heart-wrenching words.

He stared at the girl blankly, his cheeks burning, and he didn't know how to answer the question.

Mrs. Qin was furious when she saw her son's disgrace.

She slammed the table suddenly and scolded Pei Chuchu: "I didn't want you to come in two years ago, and it was only because Guan'er begged and you helped him save his life that I nodded!

"But how long have you been here, and you dare to show your face to me, my mother-in-law?! You are in public all day long, and you are addicted to making money. You are no different from those fussy market women! After all, she is a daughter raised by ordinary people. , vulgar and vulgar, not as sensible as an official lady!"

Chen Mianfang doesn't think it's a big deal.

She followed Gonghuo: "Mother is right! Sister-in-law, our family treats you very well. You have to know that based on your status, you are not worthy of marrying into my family. Since you are a high-ranking person, you should be a good person with your tail between your legs. Yes, how dare you be so arrogant and disrespectful to your mother-in-law?!"

Even Magistrate Chen, who was usually known as the "Smiling Tiger", had a serious look on his face.

Pei Chuchu put down his chopsticks.

She ignored the group of Chen family members and only glanced at Chen Mianguan coldly: "I have done what I promised you, and I hope you can fulfill your promise. In addition, please come to Changlexuan tomorrow. I have something to discuss with you. "

Since this fake marriage can no longer bring benefits to her, it's time to say goodbye officially.

Even if the Chen family retaliates against her in the future, the wealth she has accumulated in the past two years will be enough to start over in another place, and she will even live a more comfortable life.

The girl stood up fearlessly and walked straight outside the house.

Chen Mianguan has completely lost his face.

Annoyed, he stepped forward and grabbed Pei Chuchu, lowering his voice: "With so many people watching, what are you doing?! Stop making such nonsense and apologize to mother!"

Pei Chuchu refused.

While the two were fighting, the maid suddenly came in and reported: "Sir, Madam, Miss Zhong is here! She said that she went to Qiantang with Master Zhong a few days ago and just returned to Suzhou. She missed Miss Zhong's birthday party during the day. I came here specially to congratulate you tonight.”

"Love?"

Chen Mianfang was pleasantly surprised.

She quickly glanced at Pei Chuchu and said deliberately: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you invite her in quickly? Speaking of which, brother, Sister Zhong is your childhood sweetheart. She has liked you since she was a child. If my sister-in-law hadn't stepped in, I wouldn't be here today." The one called sister-in-law should be Sister Zhong!”

The girl who came in with the brocade box was tall, plump and much stronger than Pei Chuchu. Although she was dressed up, her appearance was still ordinary.

She gave the brocade box to Chen Mianfang: "Fang'er, this is my eighteenth birthday gift to you."

Chen Mianfang opened the brocade box.

In the brocade box lies a gorgeous and bright pure gold phoenix hairpin.

Pei Chuchu looked vulgar and couldn't stand it, but Chen Mianfang was so happy that she quickly picked it up and stuck it in her head: "I have wanted a golden hairpin like this for a long time. Sister Zhong understands me!"

She herself was dressed up in a complicated and colorful way, and she also wore a big golden hairpin.

It didn't add any sense of beauty, but instead made her look more old-fashioned. However, she felt very good about herself and frequently showed off her big golden hairpin to everyone.

Zhong Qing smiled and stepped forward to salute Mrs. Qin and Magistrate Chen.

Qin held her hand and loved her very much: "Are your father and mother in good health? I saw that you have lost weight after being out for a few days, which is heartbreaking. You know that I like you and have treated you as my own since I was a child. My daughter will see it. It’s a pity that Guan’er is not lucky enough to marry you..."

She didn't care about Pei Chuchu's presence, she just wished she could step on Pei Chuchu's face to the ground.

Pei Chuchu was not angry at all.

She just thought it was ridiculous.

Zhongqing's father was Jiangnan Yanguan.

This official position may not seem to have much power, but in fact it is rich and can bleed with oil.

The mother and daughter of the Chen family have always liked Zhongqing and wished they could marry her instead of Chen Mianguan. However, Chen Mianguan liked beauties and could not accept Zhongqing's mediocre appearance, so he refused to marry with the Zhong family.

But Zhongqing refused to give up.

Even though Chen Mianguan was married, he would still go to the Chen Mansion from time to time and send all kinds of valuable jewelry to the Chen family and his daughter. He was so flattering that he seemed to be just waiting for Chen Mianguan to divorce his wife and remarry.

Facing Qin's praise, Zhong Qing said softly: "Sister Pei is still here, aunt, please don't say such things...Sister Pei is also a very good girl. Although she cannot help brother Miang Guan in his career, she is born beautiful. , who doesn’t like beauty in this world?”

Although it was a compliment, it was actually belittling Pei Chuchu.

Pei Chuchu just thought it was ridiculous.

She didn't even bother to talk to her. Instead, she calmly sat down to have tea, hoping to see what trouble this group of people was going to create.

Zhong Qing completely regarded herself as the daughter-in-law of the palace and poured tea for Qin family diligently: "As you know, the elder of my family is an official in Chang'an. He has sent a letter in the past two days, saying that after the new year, my father will be imprisoned. Transferred to Chang'an and promoted to a capital official. By then, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue serving my aunt."

Mrs. Qin was surprised: "Your father is going to Chang'an to be an official?!"

Officials in Chang'an are naturally different from local officials.

Even if he is just a ninth-grade official in Chang'an, if he comes to the local area, the local officials will have to look at his face. Going to Chang'an to be an official is the dream of almost all local officials.

Chen Mianguan was also stunned.

He started to enter the official career this year, but the official career is difficult and there is no one to guide him. Even if he lives to be forty or fifty years old, he will still have to stop there...

I had known that Zhongqing's father was so capable...

He stared at Zhong Qing, complex emotions flashing through his eyes.

Zhongqing noticed his gaze, smiled sweetly, and continued: "My uncle also said in the letter that the emperor intends to select a few more local officials to come to Beijing, and he asked the courtiers to help make recommendations."

Suggestive words.

Magistrate Chen became excited instantly.

He rubbed his hands and smiled: "Zhongqing, your father and I have been friends for more than ten years. You see..."

"Why does uncle need to see you?" Zhong Qing poured tea for him meekly, "I asked my father early in the morning, not to mention that you yourself have outstanding political achievements, so you will definitely be selected. When we get to Chang'an, our two families will still be neighbors. How great is it to help each other in the officialdom?"

Those words made Magistrate Chen feel very happy.

Chen Mianguan couldn't help but be ready to make a move, even his eyes looking at Zhongqing were much gentler.

Zhong Qing's smile was as bright as a flower, and she turned to Pei Chuchu: "By the way, I heard that Sister Pei fled from the north. Do you know any dignitaries in the north?"

Seeing that Pei Chuchu didn't speak, she immediately apologized and said, "It's my fault for exposing sister Pei's shortcomings. It doesn't matter if you don't know the dignitaries. Although you can't help Brother Manguan, there is no need to feel inferior. People are always different. There are pros and cons. Speaking of which, I also went to the north when I was a child, and even dined with Princess Mingyue. When I come to Chang'an in the future, I will introduce Princess Mingyue to you."

Pei Chuchu: "..."

After a long silence, she smiled: "Okay."
