Aunt Han raised her head and answered frankly, "I really don't want to follow the Second Master to Ganzhou, but I came to tell Madam that now all the concubines, maids, young ladies and young masters are unwilling to go to Ganzhou. They should be coming here right now to ask Madam for mercy."

As soon as she finished speaking, a group of people came in noisily from outside, and the leader was actually Shi Chengxuan.

Shi Chengxuan glared at Aunt Han and said, "You run fast! Are you from my backyard or hers?"

Aunt Han lowered her head in fear.

Tang Chujun: “…” What the hell is this idiot talking about?

She frowned and rolled her eyes at Shi Chengxuan, "Do you think you're good enough again?"

Shi Chengxuan immediately put on a smile and said, "Mr. Chu, I remember you said that although we didn't get together well, we can part ways well. Right?"

Tang Chujun raised his eyebrows, "Now that we're all gone, what's the point of talking about this?"

"We are separated, but we are still Xia'er and Qi'er's parents." Shi Chengxuan sat upright, not daring to look at his daughter who was staring at him indifferently.

Tang Chujun showed no mercy, "A few days ago, when you sold the property to me, you sold it to me at the market price, or even at a high price. Why didn't you remember that we are Xia'er and Qi'er's parents at that time?"

She gave almost all the cash she had to Shi Chengxuan, and even borrowed some money from her sister-in-law Zheng Qiaoer to pay off the bill.

Shi Chengxuan seemed to know what she would say, so he handed over the banknotes and the key to the storehouse. "At that time, I just didn't want to divorce you, so I just wanted to make things difficult for you. All the money is here, you can take it back."

Shi Anxia smiled, said nothing, and continued to watch the show.

As expected, Tang Chujun understood immediately, "Hey, you regretted it so soon? Now you feel that selling the property is a loss, or is it better to live on a 1,000 taels of relief every year?"

Shi Chengxuan choked: "..."

Relief! It's so hurtful! It's so hurtful to my self-esteem!

He was so angry that he stood up and then sat down again, sullenly saying, "Chu Jun, Xia'er, I know I was wrong in the past. I was too ambitious, too ambitious, too incompetent, and easily influenced by others. But now I have experienced so much and have grown up..."

There was an inexplicable laugh in the room.

The concubines, maids, and children couldn't help laughing. After laughing, they felt sad.

A grown man bowed his head in front of a woman, as timid as a grandson. But this was the first time he stood up for his concubines and children.

If the old lady was around before, Shi Chengxuan would never walk in front. He would always shrink at the back, looking downcast when there was something going on, and arrogant when there was nothing going on.

Now that the person in charge was gone and the person who could support him had divorced, he, a grown man, finally stood up and wanted to make plans for these concubines and children.

Shi Chengxuan had four sons and five daughters, which was considered a prosperous family.

He didn't have much ability in his life, but he still made a significant contribution to fertility.

Especially since his son Shi Yunqi is now the eldest son of Jian'an Marquis Mansion, he, as a father, can now stand up straight.

But he really didn't want to go back to Ganzhou, where he was unfamiliar with the place. To put it bluntly, he was afraid!

He swallowed his anger and said, "Chu Jun, Xia Er, look, it's not a big deal for us to go back to Ganzhou with all our family members!"

Shi Anxia smiled and asked, "Father, was it your eldest aunt or your youngest aunt who taught you these words?"

Shi Chengxuan: "..." Couldn't I have come up with this by myself? Am I not worthy of having a brain?

He answered honestly: "Your eldest aunt and youngest aunt both said that if I go there, I will probably die in Ganzhou and never be able to return to the capital. Alas, this is where I have lived for decades. Please don't chase me away, okay?"

When the old marquis and his wife passed away, Shi Wanqing would naturally be notified to attend the wake.

Shi Wanqing behaved very honestly this time. She just worked silently and didn't say much.

Even Yu Sujun said, "If she had done this earlier, how could she have been kicked out of the mansion?"

All the concubines, maids and children knelt down and begged Tang Chujun to allow them to stay in the capital.

Tang Chujun's eyes swept across the faces of his concubines, maids and children.

To be honest, she didn't hate them. Because she didn't love them, she didn't hate them.

These people are all dependent on Shi Chengxuan for survival. Without Shi Chengxuan, they cannot survive.

At this moment, Shi Anxia's eyes swept over his aunt and brothers and sisters one by one.

These people had lived in Ganzhou in their previous lives, and later all died of a plague.

After she was reborn, she had been observing them.

Even Bei Hui and others secretly paid attention to the movements of these people. Apart from some harmless little fights, nothing hateful happened.

Especially those younger brothers and sisters all have one thing in common, that is, they are timid and have learned all the cowardice from Shi Chengxuan.

Now is an extraordinary period. Shi Anrou's whereabouts are unknown; the Empress Dowager's hidden power and military force are still in the dark; the harem of Emperor Mingde is in turmoil, and the princes and princesses all have different thoughts.

The situation in the North Wing was not as simple as imagined. If a cowardly person stayed in the capital, it would be hard to guard against being used by someone with ulterior motives.

Shi Anxia said gently, "My daughter has an idea. Does father want to listen to it?"

Shi Chengxuan nodded, "Of course I will listen."

This is the person who can talk! What else can I do if he doesn't listen?

Shi Anxia raised her bright black eyes, "Father needs to observe mourning for grandparents for three years, so you can temporarily return to Ganzhou to live during these three years. If you don't get into trouble during these three years, and don't cause anything that will bring shame to the Jian'an Marquisate, my brother will send someone to take you back to the capital. How do you think?"

Shi Chengxuan has no official position now, so it is best for him to stay away from the capital. He mainly does not want to leave the prosperity of the capital.

Shi Anxia added, "Three years later, brother Yun Jing will be sixteen years old. When he returns to Beijing, whether it is to take the imperial examination or to find a job, we can make long-term plans. As for my mother, she has divorced you, father, so don't bother her with everything."

This is said to the concubines and maids. Don't always come to your mother for help.

In a few days, my mother will return to her own residence to live a carefree life and will not bother to take care of the trivial matters on my father's side.

It was just that Yunshu did make Tang Chujun worry a little. In order to win back Shi Yunqi, he had fought with Old Madam Shi and deliberately pointed out Shi Yunshu as the legitimate son.

Later, when the family tree was revised for Shi Yunqi, Shi Yunshu was also changed to her name.

Now Shi Yunshu is being raised as the legitimate son. If Aunt Han takes her son back to Ganzhou, given Aunt Han's temper, she will probably go back to her old ways.

In fact, Tang Chujun had observed Aunt Han for a long time and found that this woman's mind was not on Shi Chengxuan at all.

She is a miserable person. If she hadn't been left with no other options, she probably wouldn't have chosen to be Shi Chengxuan's concubine.

Now Aunt Han devotes all her attention to her son. As long as her son is well, she will be well.

Tang Chujun was about to say, "If Aunt Han is willing to stay and keep me company," but before he could finish his words, Shi Chengxuan asked, "Then do you want to keep Shu'er as a plaything?"
