In the sense of stability brought by her tribe, Su Nianyun regained her strength.
Aunt Liu did what she had to do, and the rest was up to her.
The next day, Su Nianyun returned to the capital.
As soon as I entered the gate of Chen's house, I was directly called by the old lady to go to her yard.
When Su Nianyun walked into the hall, Chen Shaoan, Biyu, Zhou Yao and even Chen Shaokang and his wife were there.
Seeing the people in this room, she walked straight in and found her seat to sit down.
"Su Nianyun, do you still have the nerve to come back?" the old lady scolded.
"Old madam, what are you talking about? Chen Mansion is my home, why can't I come back?"
"Your home?" The old lady smiled coldly, "I wonder why you still call this place your home!"
"If you really regarded this place as your home, wouldn't you leave the house without my permission every time?"
"Even if you didn't come back last night, tell me honestly, where did you go?"
Su Nianyun looked at the furious old lady. Next to her was Chen Shaoan, who didn't care much about it.
The expressions on their faces were in stark contrast.
One didn't care at all, and the other was furious.
One doesn't love her and only regards marrying her as a task. The other regards her as a possession and only focuses on her money, fearing that she will take it with her.
The husband ran away.
"Old Madam," Su Nianyun sat down leisurely, "It's not the first day that I won't be returning home, so why make such a big fuss?"
"Su Nianyun, do you want to show some respect? How could you talk about staying out all night so casually?" The old lady's face became even more ugly.
"I don't need others to show me favor, nor do I need to look at other people's faces."
Su Nianyun said straightforwardly, "Old madam, if something happens to you, you'd better tell me quickly. I'm about to give birth, so I can't be tired."
Don't think that by getting back the middle reward, she can show off her power again.
The old lady was just blinded by the temporary prosperity. It only took Su Nianyun's thoughts to let her wake up from her sweet dream.
Stunned by Su Nianyun's rebuke, the old lady didn't answer the question for a long time.
It was true that she was a little dizzy after taking charge of Zhongfu again. In addition, everything in the house was going smoothly recently, so she ignored Su Nianyun's unforgiving character.
It was Chen Shaokang who broke the silence at the right time, "Princess sister-in-law, my mother didn't call you here to scold you, but to ask for your opinion."
Su Nianyun looked at Chen Shaokang with a pair of watery eyes, and then immediately moved away, "Second uncle, please tell me, what advice does mother want to ask from me?"
Chen Shaokang's heartstrings were tugged hard by Su Nianyun's seemingly casual look.
"This is……"
He stuttered, and finally looked at Zhou Yao, "It's Aunt Zhou's request for a yard."
Su Nianyun was not surprised at all, she was the one who promoted this.
She said, "Old madam, since you are in charge of the central government, you shouldn't be able to ask me about this matter, right?"
"Why can't I ask?" When talking about this, the old lady became even more angry. "I want to ask you even more, why did you drive Zhou Yao out?"
"You brought people into the house in the first place, and now you want to drive them out!"
"Old madam," Su Nianyun said, "everything I do is for the good of my consort."
"The prince-in-law has lost his memory, and I bring his favorite person to my side to help him awaken his memory. What's wrong with this?"
"The reason why I want to drive her out is because she was disrespectful to me after regaining my consort's favor."
"Tingfeng Courtyard, the old lady made it clear at the beginning that it was built specifically for me."
"I am driving people out, but I am just driving people out of Tingfengyuan. How can it be escalated to the point of driving her out of the palace?"
The old lady arrived, "I don't care what you do, but if she wants that yard, it's impossible!"
Zhou Yao turned pale as she listened.
She didn't know what was going on. Even though Chen Shao'an had personally spoken to the old lady, the old lady just refused to give her the Magnolia Garden.
Obviously, she had already inquired about the Magnolia Garden, and it was just that Aunt Lan, a concubine of the deceased master, lived there.
Mr. Chen is diligent and busy with government affairs, so he is not a lustful person.
Apart from the old lady of the house, Aunt Lan was the only one who stayed with me all the time.
Aunt Lan's full name is Shen Yulan, she is the daughter of Master Chen and Mr. Qimeng's family. The two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood.
Later, when the two grew up, Mr. Chen married Qin Panqiu due to pressure from his family.
However, in Mr. Chen's heart, he still misses Shen Yulan.
It wasn't until the old lady gave birth to her second son, Chen Shaokang, that Mr. Chen finally couldn't suppress his longing and brought Shen Yulan back to his mansion.
At that time, Shen Yulan was already married and her husband died young.
The old lady, who had just given birth to a child, had no abnormal feelings about this woman coming in. Not only did she treat Shen Yulan like a sister, she even told her to help the master spread his branches as soon as possible.
It's a pity that Shen Yulan has a hard life.
A child will die before the first month of pregnancy, and a child will die before the first month after birth.
Shen Yulan was deeply hit, her body began to become weak, and the doctor diagnosed that she would no longer be able to have children.
A few years later, Master Chen passed away due to overwork and illness, and Aunt Lan soon followed.
Since then, the old lady ordered people to seal up the Magnolia Garden, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.
Zhou Yao, who accidentally discovered this secret courtyard, immediately went to Chen Shaoan to discuss finding a new courtyard.
She didn't want to live at all in the desolate courtyard belonging to Biyu in the Southwest Courtyard.
She had really wronged herself by spending the whole night here last night.
Chen Shaoan had just come out to talk with his mother.
When Zhou Yao went to pack her things, the old lady took the opportunity to ask Chen Shaoan about his studies. Of course, Chen Shaokang was also asked routinely.
After all, the two brothers were going to attend the Autumn Festival together.
But the old lady seemed to be paying special attention to only Chen Shaoan, and Chen Shaokang only asked a few perfunctory questions.
Just after he came out of his mother's place, Chen Shaoan looked at Zhou Yao in surprise, "You said... you also want a yard?"
"Good luck, why do you need a yard?"
"Everywhere is safe, I don't have anywhere to go?"
Zhou Yao said aggrievedly, "Everyone in Biyu has her own yard, but I don't have one..."
"She was pregnant, and her mother wanted her to take good care of the fetus."
Zhou Yao said, "Then I gave birth to a son for you. Why don't I?"
"Biyu has her own yard, but I am the only one living under the same roof with the princess. I am always annoyed by the princess every day, and this time I was even kicked out by her..."
As she spoke, she shed tears.
"You are right," Chen Shao'an felt distressed for a while, "Don't cry. I have indeed wronged you. I should give you a yard."
Zhou Yao immediately burst into laughter.
"Then tell me, where do you want to live?" Chen Shaoan asked.
Zhou Yao said, "How about Haitang Courtyard?"
"Haitang Courtyard?" Chen Shaoan was stunned, "That's the third brother's place. Although he is in Zhengyang Academy, the courtyard is empty, but where do you live, and where will he live after he comes back?"
"Besides, if you want to live there, mother won't be able to give it to you!"
The third brother is the most precious to her mother. Zhou Yao wanted to grab something from the third brother, but there was only one result.
"You can find another courtyard. Except for Haitang Courtyard, I can help you find a solution for any other courtyard."
Zhou Yao's eyes lit up, this was what she was waiting for.
"So, how about Magnolia Courtyard?"
"It has been idle and closed for a long time. No one lives there anyway, so it would be a waste to leave it there!"
