The seven days passed quickly. On the day when Chu ordered to lift the ban, Liuzhou, which had been sunny for half a month, suddenly started to rain lightly. When the spring equinox looked at the haze outside the window, the original joyful mood was greatly reduced. "Why did it suddenly rain?"
, will something happen to the uncle’s affairs?”
Lu Tao was matching her clothes. When she heard her say this, she couldn't help but feel a little funny, "Grandma really thinks too much. Even if you want to make a change, the old lady won't agree to it. She is the one who loves the uncle the most in the entire Chu family. She will never
I won’t be willing to keep imprisoning you.”
"That's true." Shi Chunquin nodded slightly, feeling relieved.
She looked out the window, feeling both expectant and nervous, "In two hours, I will be officially released."
I haven’t seen her for so long. I wonder if he misses her...
But soon, she thought of something in her mind and became worried again, "What's going on over there with Jiang Ya now?"
Lu Tao said quickly: "Grandma, please don't worry. I go to Oriole and Bailing every day to make sure she doesn't cause any trouble."
Shi Chunfen was relieved and said, "That's good."
She had been sitting quietly in the room waiting for the passage of time. Finally, when noon was almost reached, she immediately set off to the ancestral hall, waiting for the old lady to release her in full view of the public.
Chu Ling's status was too noble, and his every move was watched by the entire Chu family. Even the old lady had to abide by the family rules, and there was no way to release him privately.
Not long after the Spring Equinox arrived at the ancestral hall, other members of the Chu family came one after another. Although it was just a formality, they still looked gloating and tried their best to see Chu Ling's desolation after being imprisoned for so long.
.
Shi Chunquin was too lazy to pay attention to them. She kept looking for Chu Ying everywhere. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Chu Ying to miss her on a day like today, but since Jiang Ya's incident happened, she rarely appeared in front of outsiders.
, even such an occasion as today has not come, which can't be doubted by Shi Vernal Equinox.
Chu Yan noticed her gaze and took the initiative to talk to her, "A Ling is coming out today. Are you ready with grapefruit leaves to give him a bath?"
Shi Chunfen came back to his senses and nodded quickly, "Everything is ready, please don't worry, father-in-law."
Seeing that she was getting better and better at doing things, Chu Yan hummed with satisfaction, "You are much more stable now. A Ling will be very happy to see your changes when he comes out."
Aunt Liu heard their conversation nearby and couldn't help but laugh: "Master, don't tell me that A Ling seems to have gone to jail. He was just locked up at home for a period of time. It's not as serious as you said."
"Bah, bah, bah!" Chu Yan said angrily: "Do you know who asked you to curse A Ling and go to jail?"
Aunt Liu was a little funny, "You didn't let me say it, and you said it again yourself?"
Chu Yan was speechless, simply snorted and stopped talking to her with a straight face.
Seeing that the couple was still in the mood to flirt and flirt, and the previous barrier was completely gone, Shi Chunfen's gaze towards Aunt Liu became meaningful. No wonder the head of Huating County was unwilling to come back. His opponent was so powerful, and Chu Yan just wanted to
If she does this, she won't want to come back.
This thought flashed through his mind, and Shi Chunfen was stunned for a moment. Didn't he say that he didn't mind Chu Ling taking a concubine? How could she mind so much that she wanted to run away?
Just when she felt a little ashamed, the old lady brought Chu Ling to the ancestral hall on time.
After not seeing him for such a long time, Chu Ling looked a lot thinner. There was still stubble on his chin, and there were black spots under his eyes. His whole body was visibly haggard, which made Shi Chunquin's heart suddenly tighten.
What made her even more distressed was that Chu Ling followed the old lady in and didn't even look at her when he passed her. He had a sullen face the whole time and didn't know what he was thinking.
Shi Chunquin's heart sank on the spot, and he felt inevitably a little depressed.
Did he really not miss her at all?
When the old lady sat down, Chu Ling knelt down for her and Chu Yan in full view of the family in accordance with family rules, waiting for their instructions.
Although the surroundings were quiet and no one dared to whisper in the ancestral hall, Shi Chunfen still felt a pang in his heart and felt sad for Chu Ling.
The old lady looked around at everyone, and finally her eyes fell on Chu Ling, and said seriously: "During the period of confinement, have you figured out where you went wrong?"
Chu Ling knelt on the ground and replied respectfully: "My grandson knows his fault. He should not be competitive and brave, which will drag the entire Chu family to clean up the mess for me."
"Yes." The old lady nodded with satisfaction, "If you know your mistakes, correct them. There is no way you can do better. Get up."
Chu Ling leaned over and kowtowed before standing up.
Chu Yan looked at his son who had obviously lost a lot of weight, and the words he had originally planned to question him suddenly got stuck in his throat. It was ridiculous that he wanted to take the opportunity to show off his power. Seeing that Chu Ling was so miserable, he couldn't bear it anymore.
He sighed and said helplessly, "As long as you know you are wrong, go back and rest early."
Chu Ling nodded slightly and said nothing.
Both father and son are not good at words, but they are not without each other in their hearts.
Seeing this situation, Xue Jinxiu coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Yes, A Ling has been imprisoned for so long, so he should go back and have a good rest." After saying that, she walked up to Chu Ling and said in a show of power: "Don't do it.
I blame the second aunt for deciding to lock you up. This is all for your own good. As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules. Sooner or later, you will become the head of our Chu family. You must learn to think about the overall situation, don’t you think?"
Chu Ling looked at her and said expressionlessly: "My nephew has learned a lesson."
Seeing how honest he was, Xue Jinxiu asked for trouble and returned to his original position.
Chu Shun also took two steps forward and patted his shoulder, "Don't argue with your second aunt. She always speaks out. Caogang provoked her first. I can't blame you completely for this matter. Besides, because of this matter
, we became in-laws with Caobang by accident, so I have to thank you very much."
Mentioning this, Chu Shun waved to Chu Run, "Arun, why don't you come over quickly and thank your cousin?"
Chu Run quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Chu Ling, "Thank you, eldest cousin, for indirectly facilitating my marriage with the eldest lady of the Weng family."
I don't know if it was his misunderstanding, but when Chu Ling, who had always had a good temper after coming out, faced him, his eyes suddenly flashed with two gleams of coldness, which stung him.
When he raised his head, Chu Ling's expression did not change at all, as if everything was just his illusion.
"You don't have to thank me." Chu Ling said coldly: "It's an honor for you to be favored by the eldest lady of the Weng family. I hope you can get married smoothly and grow old together."
Chu Run was startled, and immediately raised his hand, "I appreciate your words."
