Chapter 303 A Mother and Son Conversation
She was dressed very noble today, with gold and silver threads embroidered with bats, hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren's patterns. She was wearing a string of round and shiny southern beads around her neck. These southern beads were even more round and larger than those of the empress dowager in the palace. She was too old and claimed that she did not have to be inferior to the empress dowager Su.
Her sitting posture was still dignified and noble, with her waist straight, her shoulders closed back, her neck slender, and her hands were placed on the armrest of the chair. She looked out the hazy door with a dignified look with a blank look.
Chu Shoufu, his hands were caged in his sleeves, as if he was a city old man squatting on the street watching people playing chess. His back was slightly hunched, his shoulders were bent, and his eyebrows were drooping, but the light in his eyes was bright, and he was also looking outside. However, under such eyes, no matter what monsters there were outside, he could not hide it.
"Why do you treat your mother like this? I raised you and made you successful. Why do you want to be so unfilial?"
In the end, the old lady started to speak first, full of resentment.
"Unfilial?" Chu Shoufu looked at her, "Isn't my son filial enough in recent years? What does the mother say and what does my son do? You have to be as windy as the wind and rain as the rain. There are no less than ten people in your family every day. What is your honor and wealth missing from you?"
The old lady sneered, "But these were not given to you."
"It's not given by my son, who gave it to me? Do you think that people outside and people in the mansion respect you with high seniority?" Chu Shoufu said lightly.
"You are taking revenge on your mother, and you have not been a son like you." The old lady was angry.
Shoufu Chu shook his head, "I will not wait until now for revenge on you."
"Then why do you do this?" The old lady looked at him and shook her head in disappointment. "Do you know that if you do this, our Chu family will completely lose its respectful position. What is the difference between it and other aristocratic families? It may not even be like others. You have destroyed the foundation of my Chu family."
"Basic business? Regardless of whether it is a foundation or not, I will ask my mother, is it a foundation or the lives of the Manchu mansion important?" asked Shoufu Chu.
Seeing that he was willing to speak out from his heart, the old lady corrected her attitude and said seriously: "The foundation is important, and life is also important, but there is no conflict between the two. If you stabilize your foundation, no one can kill my Chu family. On the contrary, if you do this today, it is difficult to guarantee that my Chu family will be bullied."
"Did you really treat you as a local emperor?" Chu Shoufu sighed softly, "You smell the fragrance of coffin, and you still eat so much food in ancient times. This world is not the Chu family. How many people have the Chu family offended over the years? Even if the emperor can tolerate it, I will stretch my feet in the future, how many heads will the Chu family have to lose to clear it?"
The old lady said anxiously: "So, I am so old that you can promote more people in the clan. As long as the power is deeply rooted enough, even if I die or you die, the Chu family will not be left without successors."
"Promote?" Chu's voice was full of sarcasm, "Are you talking about your grandson and great-grandson? The Chu family has indeed produced many talents, but they are definitely not those under your knees. You have tolerated them so lawless that they only know how to make trouble all day long. Is there a person who is responsible enough to entrust important tasks? I am the prime minister of the dynasty, and I have seen a lot of upheaval in this officialdom. I have witnessed the rise and fall of this aristocratic family with my own eyes. If the Chu family does not know how to avoid good and avoid bad luck and restrain their sharpness, they will be uprooted sooner or later. Things in the world will decline. Nothing is long-lasting. At your age, if you can't even see this, you have read so many Buddhist scriptures in vain in Yuemei'an over the years."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Get a break early."
The old lady stood up immediately and said sternly: "You can't hide your true purpose even if you say so many high-sounding words. You are all old and what else can't let go? If you are stubborn, you will be ordered to ask for her head."
The Shoufu Chu had already taken two steps. After hearing this, he suddenly turned around and stared at her fiercely.
The old lady had never seen him look so fierce and cruel. She screamed in fear and fell back to her chair and sat down, "What do you... want to do? Do you still want to kill your mother?"
Chu Shoufu was filled with cold air, like an evil ghost from hell, "If you dare to touch a strand of her hair, I want the whole Tong family to be extinct!"
The Tong family is the grand old lady’s mother’s home.
The old lady was so scared that her heart trembled, "You...you are so brave, do you dare?"
"Mom just try!" He turned around slowly, and the wind blew in from outside, making the candlelight clear and unstable. His face was also gloomy, "You are old, it's good to have peace and peace in your old age. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. There is no need to worry about anything you are worried about. Tomorrow, my son will order someone to send you back to Yuemei'an. If there is nothing to do, you don't have to come back."
"You are so conscientious!" The old lady roared sadly, and the flesh on her face trembled, and she was so angry that she almost fell to the ground.
Shoufu Chu strode out amid the curses.
The next morning, as early as the sky was dawn, someone packed her things for her and prepared a carriage to send her back to Yuemei Temple.
The old lady was supported by Mama Tong and walked out step by step.
She was still wearing the clothes she had last night, and she was the noble princess.
However, the whole face was already withered, and even the steps were unsteady.
She was cursing and her heart was filled with resentment.
At the door, she saw the unfilial son.
All the anger in her heart turned into strength, she slapped her and said angrily: "I see how you die in the nine fountains, how do you see your ancestors."
Chu Shoufu did not change his expression and only smiled coldly, "Being a son allows his mother to enjoy the honor of her whole life. Why didn't I meet my ancestors?"
"You have ulterior motives. You have clearly hated me. You have been following your advice over the years. You can do whatever I ask you to do. You have never disobeyed me at all. It's because you have ulterior motives!" She scolded at the top of her lungs.
"That's right!" Chu Shoufu looked at her coldly, "Because, you are not dead yet, you still have someone to move. I can't be by her side. If you want to protect her, you have to follow your advice. There is no need today, because from today on, I will stand by her side and see who dares to touch her."
"You...you..." The old lady tilted her mouth a few times and couldn't speak.
Madam Tong helped her and cried, "You can say less, let's go back, princess."
Chu Shoufu led his horse and ordered the people below to "send the old lady to Yuemei Temple."
He turned over and drove away, and the smog that had been gloomy in his heart seemed to have been dispelled all at once.
Yes, from today on, he will stand beside her to see who dares to touch a strand of her hair.
The old lady was as if she was dead and was being held onto the carriage. She kept crying. The curtain of the carriage was slit and she covered her face with her hands, "I have devoted all my life to him, why did he treat me like this?"
Madam Tong sighed softly, "Princess, you have worked hard for him, but the boss has not been happy for a day. He has not lived a happy life for a day. He endured most of his life and worked for most of his life, and never lived for him alone."
The old lady leaned back with her head heavy, "But why? That's just a slut, I can't deserve him."
"That's also the one he likes, who can make him laugh happily." Madam Tong swept her chest and thoughtfully, "Some people may not meet that person in their entire lives, but if he meets him, he can't get it, and he doesn't like what he gets."
"I don't understand, I don't understand..."
