"Sister Qingtong, I know that this matter is not your fault, but was deceived by Chen Yichen, the disciple."

"Don't worry, I will send you back to the Hou Mansion now, and I will report everything to Hou Taining to prove your innocence!"

Zhu Ji knew very well that it would be unrealistic to slander Chen Yichen and Chen Qingtong, a private meeting between them, which was not realistic.

It also concerns the Taining Marquis Mansion, which stigmatized Chen Qingtong, which was equivalent to slapping Taining Marquis in the face. So the best way is to take Chen Qingtong out and put the pot on Shen Yichen.

Even if Hou Taining knew that this was not the case, in order to preserve Chen Qingtong's reputation, he would definitely blame Chen Yichen for his crimes, which would be enough!

Didn’t Chen Yichen rely on his success as a man of the Duke of China to be arrogant? But unfortunately, you have not been included in the Zhu family genealogy. A nameless maid who dares to covet the only daughter of Hou Taining. No matter what the reason is, it is an original sin!

It has to be said that Zhu Ji is worthy of being a child of a noble family. He has made this open conspiracy clearly, and he has also used the power to fight.

"Zhu Ji, you..."

Chen Qingtong was both ashamed and angry, and wanted to refute, but didn't know where to start.

Although she is usually careless and lively and outgoing, she is just a teenage girl who is in her later generations as a junior high school student. She suddenly encounters this kind of slander that is related to her reputation, and she is really at a loss.

"Zhu Ji, you can target me, but don't involve others, otherwise I will definitely make you regret it."

Chen Yichen's tone was extremely cold, and even a faint ferocity was filled with. He could actually understand Zhu Ji's desire to compete for title before, so he didn't care about being hostile to himself, let alone being angry.

But now it’s different. His mother Lin’s generous gift “warning” and the use of Chen Qingtong’s reputation as a weapon to attack him, these actions have touched Chen Yichen’s bottom line!

Chen Yichen never wants to take the initiative to harm others, but when faced with others' unscrupulous actions, he will never have any kindness as a woman!

Suddenly feeling Chen Yichen's fierceness, Zhu Ji was shocked for some reason, but he quickly stabilized his condition.

"What is involvement? You are obviously trying to ruin Qingtong's reputation, but I'm just stopping it."

Zhu Ji's skill in turning around was perfect. Today's opportunity is rare, and he must be sure to eat Chen Yichen.

"is that so?"

A sound full of energy came from the crowd, and the people watching the fun were soon separated from each other. A middle-aged man in a breeze robe appeared in front of Shen Yichen and others.

"I'll pay homage to the marquis."

After seeing who was coming clearly, Chen Yichen and his friends didn't care about the conflict and bowed one after another.

"father!"

When Chen Qingtong saw the middle-aged man, she immediately rushed over and held his arm, and her anxious mood was immediately comforted.

That’s right, the middle-aged man who appeared at this time was Chen Qingtong’s father, Chen Ying, Hou Taining!

Chen Ying was discussing official duties with Xu Qi, the Minister of War in Nanjing, today. After that, he would pass by Cheng Guogong's Mansion and just take Chen Qingtong back to his house.

This is why Chen Qingtong appeared at the door of the mansion with Zhu Yi alone because she was waiting for the carriage waiting for the mansion.

As a result, when Chen Ying, the Marquis of Taining, arrived at Duke Cheng's Mansion, he did not find his daughter. Fortunately, the gatehouses of the Duke's Mansion knew Chen Qingtong, and after inquiring, they learned that she was traveling with Chen Yichen.

With Taining Hou's experience, he naturally realized that Chen Qingtong's behavior was inappropriate. With concern for his daughter, he also came to Nanshi Street to search and happened to meet the scene that Zhu Ji slandered.

"Don't be afraid of Tong'er, Dad is here."

No matter how noble Chen Ying is in front of outsiders and is powerful, in front of Chen Qingtong, his only daughter, he will always be just a father, which is completely different from Duke Cheng Guo, Zhu Yong.

"Mr. Marquis, you are here just in time. Chen Yichen bullies Qingtong's sister at a young age and ignorant, so he took her to the streets of Nanshi. Fortunately, I discovered it in time, otherwise it might be harmful to Qingtong's reputation."

Seeing that the main owner was coming, Zhu Ji quickly turned to Chen Yichen, but this time he spoke much more cautiously, and he didn't dare to use it in front of Chen Ying, such as "private meetings".

However, as long as the word "fame" is mentioned, I believe it is enough.

"Dad, that's not the case, it's the daughter..."

After hearing this, Chen Qingtong immediately wanted to defend Chen Yichen. She didn't expect that just watching a small matter of fireworks performance would lead to such a situation.

I was even more worried that my father would punish Chen Yichen for this reason, so I would feel guilty.

At this time, Chen Ying patted Chen Qingtong on the back twice, shook his head at her, and signaled not to say anything more.

When Chen Ying, the Marquis of Taining, raised his head again, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Zhu Ji: "The nephew may have misunderstood. It was not that Yichen brought Qingtong over to play, but that we came together, and it happened to be apart for a while."

What?

Zhu Ji's pupils expanded instantly due to shock. He thought that the Marquis of Taining would be very angry, and then he asked Chen Yichen for guilt. Even more extreme, he might even inform his father who had already gone to the capital.

At that time, Chen Yichen will not say anything else, at least Cheng Gonggong’s Mansion’s Household School will never come in again in this life.

As a result, Zhu Ji never expected that Chen Ying would say such things.

The problem is that I am in the teahouse, but I am really looking at it and I have never seen the shadow of Chen Ying, the Hou of Taining. How could I come here together?

Taining Hou lies to help Chen Yichen cover up?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhu Ji felt even more unbelievable. The dignified Marquis of Taining is one of the top nobles in Nanjing City, so why would he speak for a maid?

"Mr. Marquis, have you been deceived by Chen Yichen? It's clear..."

Before Zhu Ji finished speaking, Chen Ying interrupted with a cold expression and said, "Nephew, are you questioning me?"

"I don't dare!"

Even if Zhu Ji is the son of Duke Cheng, he would not dare to be presumptuous in front of the Marquis of Taining.

"Yichen and Qingtong have met since childhood, have a kind and honest character, and are open-minded. This marquis definitely believes in his character."

"Nephew, you have the blood of brothers outside. Don't make any misunderstandings and show others a joke."

Chen Ying, the Marquis of Taining, not only supported Chen Yichen, but also made a disguised accusation of his identity as a descendant of the Duke of the Kingdom. For Zhu Ji, it was simply a thunderous blow!

You should know that Taining Hou is his father's best friend, and even he admits Chen Yichen. Does it mean that his father is the same?

Impossible! Why is the maid son favored by Taining Hou and even stands to help him speak? Is it to avoid Chen Qingtong's reputation being damaged?

That’s right, after all, with Taining Hou traveling together, there is no private meeting, it must be like this!

Zhu Ji could never accept the fact that Hou Taining would help Chen Yichen, so he could only lean on Chen Qingtong to seek inexplicable psychological comfort.

However, no matter what the reason is, even if Taining Hou lies and calls it a horse, no one dares to expose it at the scene.

"Mr. Marquis, it seems that my juniors have misunderstood. Sorry."

"It's okay to have a small matter."

"Then I will not disturb the Marquis's interest, so I will say goodbye."

"Um."

After saying that, Zhu Ji and his friends bowed down, but after turning around, they seemed to have lost their souls.

Today was originally a good opportunity to stomp Chen Yichen to death, but in the end it was me who was hit hard. What was worse than this maid Chen Yichen? Why did even Taining Hou help him? Why!

Looking at Zhu Ji and his men leaving, Chen Yichen fell into an embarrassing situation. He knew very well that what Taining Hou said was fake, and he helped him to relieve himself.

But if you thank me, it would not be equivalent to pointing out that Taining Hou was lying, and without any expression, it would seem inappropriate in etiquette, which is indeed a dilemma.

"No need to thank me. I'm helping you today for the little girl's bronze, and I want to borrow my Taining Hou's knife, which is too tender."

Chen Ying is also an old man. He could see Chen Yichen's crampage at a glance, so he simply made the words clear.

"It's because my younger generation is not considerate and has implicated Qingtong."

Chen Yichen also admitted his mistakes very simply. He was older than Chen Qingtong and should understand the defense between men and women better.

It’s just that Chen Yichen has the mindset of his future generations. He went shopping with a playmate who grew up as a child to watch fireworks. He didn’t think so much about it, so he was caught by Zhu Ji.

But this also reminded Chen Yichen that he had the advantage of a prophet of history, but it did not mean that he could play with the Ming Dynasty casually. People in this era were also not weak in ability and should not be underestimated.

"It's okay, after all, you are childhood playmates. But Yichen, you have to know that people's hearts are unpredictable, and not every time you can be as lucky as today."

In addition to helping Chen Ying's daughter, he actually didn't say anything about it, that is, he really appreciated Chen Yichen, otherwise he would not be so partial.

At the family dinner of Duke Cheng’s Mansion, Chen Ying felt that Chen Yichen was extraordinary, not as rumored by the outside world. The subsequent counterattack of poetry and the song "Linjiang Xian" verified the idea of ​​Hou Taining.

Now this advice is to make it a good thing for Chen Yichen. Every man is innocent and is guilty of possessing a treasure. His special life experience is destined to cause a lot of trouble, so he should be more mature and cautious in his future.

"I will keep in mind the marquis's warning."

"Well, then Qingtong will go back with me first."

"Great send to the marquis."

After getting on the carriage, Chen Ying lifted a corner of the curtain, looked at Chen Yichen, who was still standing still, and turned his head and said to Chen Qingtong.

"Qingtong, please don't have any contact with Chen Yichen in the future."

When Chen Qingtong heard this, he wondered if he had heard it wrong. His father clearly agreed with Chen Yichen just now, why did he change when he got on the carriage?

"Dad, it's not what you think. Brother Yichen didn't bully me. I took the initiative to invite him to watch the fireworks in Nanshi Street."

Chen Qingtong thought his father had a misunderstanding about Chen Yichen, so he wanted to explain, but was interrupted by the next sentence from Taining Hou.

"I know he's not that kind of person."

"Since you know, why don't you let me contact Brother Yichen?"

"Because he is not worthy of you."

"Dad, there is nothing between Brother Yichen and I. Besides, he is not bad at all."

"No more words, just remember what you said for your father."

Chen Ying, Hou of Taining, is a veteran. How could he not appreciate Chen Qingtong's attitude towards Chen Yichen? It is beyond the scope of normal friendship.

He admired Chen Yichen very much, and he also believed that this son would have great potential in the future.

But no matter how great it is, even the child has not passed the exam, so it may not be able to become a general and a minister?

To put it even to an exaggeration, even if Chen Yichen became a general and a prime minister, he was still a different place from Duke, Hou, Xunqi. Now it is no longer the era of Taizu Chengzu, and it is almost impossible to get a title normally, unless it is a title.

But the laws of the ancestors cannot be violated. Duke Cheng still has two legitimate sons, so it is impossible for Chen Yichen to turn.

Chen Qingtong is her only daughter. In the future, only the family of honor and Qi can ensure her life's glory and wealth. Chen Yichen cannot do it!

Since this is the case, it is better to have short pain than long pain. When the love begins, the bud will be cut off, and in the future, the daughter will understand her hard work.

Chen Qingtong did not dare to disobey her father, so she could only sit in the car with a sad face, looking at the fleeting abortions outside the car window and the shop.
