Xue Jinxiu's words shocked Chu Shun. After so many years as husband and wife, it was only at this moment that he realized that Xue Jinxiu had gone crazy to this extent. He was indeed dissatisfied with the eldest son being too arrogant, but over the years, the eldest son had nothing but
Apart from being a little arrogant, he has never done anything to persecute the second brother. As the second master of the Chu family, he has lived under the protection of the eldest brother for a long time and can still enjoy the glory of being the richest man in Liuzhou. He is really satisfied. He is asked to risk it.
Taking the risk of giving up everything to bet on his son's future, he would only agree to do this unless he had a flaw in his mind.
"It's his business not to treat me as his second uncle." Chu Shun gritted his teeth and said, "In short, I won't allow you to do anything detrimental to the Chu family. Otherwise, don't blame me as a ruthless father!"
"You?"
If you want to bring Quan'er along with you, I will have to fight with you today!"
As she said that, she rushed forward, scratching and scratching Chu Shun, and in a short while she had him with a big face.
Chu Quan stood aside and watched with cold eyes. Seeing that Xue Jinxiu was almost beaten, he pretended to step forward to break up the fight, "Forget it, Mom, Dad is kind-hearted and can't bear to do things that harm his morality. Let's not embarrass him."
Xue Jinxiu was panting from the beating. When she heard what he said, her expression became even more angry, "Why does he need so much virtue? Does he want to have more sons?"
Mentioning this, she sneered, "He is so powerful. The entire Chu family said that he would be blessed with many children and that he would be full of grandchildren soon. They didn't even look at how many women he played with to give birth to so many sons! In my opinion,
He relies too much on his son, so he doesn't take you as his legitimate son seriously, otherwise why would he not even do this little thing for you?"
When these words came out, Chu Quan's expression became obviously intriguing.
Chu Shun became anxious on the spot, "Don't talk nonsense. Ah Quan is my son. How could I not care about his future? But it is said that the number one scholar in martial arts can be obtained by taking a test? Even if you ruin Ah Ling's reputation, there is no guarantee.
Ah Quan is bound to win the first place, but when the time comes, he will have a grudge against his eldest brother, wouldn’t it be worth the loss?"
"Dad, you can rest assured about this." Chu Quan said slowly, "As long as the elder doesn't find out that it was us."
There are many ways to hurt people, and head-on confrontation is the stupidest one. He can't be that stupid!
Xue Jinxiu looked at him with praise, he was indeed her son, he was indeed brave and resourceful.
Seeing that the mother and son had made up their minds, Chu Shun smiled bitterly, "In that case, what are you still discussing with me? Why don't you just do it? Anyway, I, the head of the family, am dispensable in your hearts."
"You can't say that." Chu Quan stretched out his hand to help him up, patted the wrinkles on his clothes scratched by Xue Jinxiu, and said with a smile: "Without father's support, how could we have the confidence to fight against the big house?
You are our backbone!”
His movements were gentle, but Chu Shun inexplicably felt a chill spreading throughout his body.
He looked at his only legitimate son, who felt strange at the moment. He suddenly felt regretful. In the past years, he only knew how to have fun. When he thought about educating his children, they had grown into something he could not accept.
Chu Shun no longer remembered how he walked out of Xue Jinxiu's room. He only knew that he walked forward in a daze, but unknowingly came to the outside of Chu Run's courtyard. He stopped there for a long time.
, I wanted to turn around and leave, but I heard the sound of the door opening behind me.
"Hey, isn't this the second master?" The person who came out was Xiang Luan, the maid he had previously found for Chu Run.
She was originally going to the kitchen to get some snacks for Chu Run, but unexpectedly she bumped into Chu Shun standing outside, and immediately greeted him warmly: "Master, he is in the room! Master, do you want to go in to see him?"
Anyway, they had already been caught. Chu Shun was too embarrassed to refuse, so he nodded slightly, "Then I'll go in and take a look."
Chu Shun entered Chu Run's room, and as soon as the light in the room shone, the injuries on his face were no longer visible.
When Chu Run saw him, his whole expression was stunned, "Dad, you..."
Only then did Xiang Luan notice his injuries and couldn't help but scream, "How could this happen? Master, your face...?!"
Chu Run coughed lightly and stopped him: "Xiangluan, go and get some ointment for treating wounds, and then give father a basin of water to cleanse his face."
Xiang Luan reacted immediately and nodded respectfully, "Yes, Young Master."
After she went out, Chu Run sat down with Chu Shun and asked, "Father, what happened?"
Chu Shun looked at the young man in front of him. Although he was just a concubine, he could not hide his concern for him. In contrast, Chu Quan had been watching him being beaten with cold eyes just now. What he did was completely chilling to his heart. His
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally chose silence.
"Forget it, don't ask." Chu Shun smiled bitterly and said, "How have you been studying lately? Are you confident this autumn?"
Chu Run nodded quickly, "Father, please don't worry, I am determined to win the position of public servant."
"That's good." Chu Shun's face was full of joy, "After you are selected as the candidate, you can find an official position for the time being. Wait until your eldest cousin finishes the exam next year. If you are interested in continuing to take the exam in the future, you can resign.
It’s not too late to study.”
Chu Run frowned, "Father is afraid that I can't compare to my eldest cousin?"
Chu Shun choked for a moment and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm afraid you won't be able to compete, but there's no need to compete. You're still young now. It's not too late to wait for three more years. We are a family, so why do you have to compete with your eldest cousin for the top prize?"
position?"
What's more, even if we fight, we can't win.
Chu Ling has had a photographic memory since he was a child and is recognized as a genius throughout Liuzhou. Even an arrogant person like Chu Quan knows that he is no match for him. What chance does Chu Run have of winning if he competes with him?
Although he didn't say what he meant, Chu Run still understood what he meant.
His heart sank, but the smile on his face did not change, "What my father said is true, so let me wait a little longer."
Seeing that he was so obedient, Chu Shun nodded with satisfaction, "Well, it would be great if your elder brother was half as sensible as you."
When Chu Quan was mentioned, Chu Run's eyes darkened imperceptibly. He looked at Chu Shun and asked: "Didn't my father go to talk about the matter between the eldest cousin and the Cao Gang today? What was the outcome of the matter?"
There is nothing to hide about this matter, anyway, the entire Chu family will know it the next day.
So Chu Shun quickly replied: "Your eldest cousin has been imprisoned for a month, and the business in hand is left to your cousin's sister-in-law to take care of."
