Chu Yan walked to the bottom of Aunt Liu's attic full of resentment. When he was about to go up, he hesitated. If he really went up this staircase, I was afraid that the Lord of Huating County would never forgive him again. He wanted to be angry, not
I really wanted to make a clean break with the head of Huating County, so I stopped dead in my tracks and turned a corner on the spot, "Let's go to Xiuxiu's place."
Xiuxiu is his first-in-law girl. She has been living behind his house these years and taking care of his daily life. He also thought about treating her as his aunt, but after stopping the soup, Xiuxiu's stomach
There was no movement, so he had to give up the idea. As Aunt Liu came in, he entered Xiuxiu's house only a handful of times. Over time, the big house seemed to have gradually forgotten Xiuxiu's existence.
When Chu Yan came in, Xiu Xiu was surprised, but more at a loss. After all, the entire Chu family knew about the return of Huating County Lord yesterday. Chu Yan came to look for her now, which was nothing to her.
It was a good thing, but even though she thought so, she still had to look very surprised in front of Chu Yan, and greeted him eagerly, "Master, why are you here today?"
Chu Yan limped into the room, grabbed her arm and motioned for her to support him. It wasn't until he walked to the bed and sat down that he spoke with resentment, "Don't mention it, I knelt all night in the ancestral hall yesterday.
My legs were so numb. As soon as that bastard Aling saw his mother coming back, he forgot about me as a father. Yesterday, he even proposed to make me kneel all night as punishment. Did he forget who I was because of?
That’s why I offended his mother by marrying someone else?!”
He rattled off a long list of words. Although it was not complete, Xiu Xiu also guessed the general idea. It turned out that she was angry with the Huating County Lord and did not dare to go to Aunt Liu's room, so she came to her to look for her.
console.
Xiuxiu knelt at his feet, gently beat his legs with her hands, and tried her best to show a gentle explanation, "Uncle, it is for the sake of you and my wife, and I want to give you a step forward."
, since the master has already stepped down to this level, why bother to be angry about this matter again?"
Chu Yan snorted and said nothing.
If it really happened, he would naturally not be angry, but the problem was that he had knelt all night in vain, and the head of Huating County still refused to let him enter the room. He would have to spend other efforts to coax her in the future. How could he
Don't feel angry?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiu Xiu also calmed down and continued to beat his legs gently and demurely.
Chu Yan squinted his eyes and enjoyed it for a while. Unknowingly, his eyes moved to the fine lines at the corners of her eyes. He couldn't help but sigh, "I have really delayed you all these years."
She was not given a title, nor a child, nor even much companionship.
A woman's best years were wasted in his backyard, and he could do nothing but feel a little guilty.
After saying this short sentence, Xiuxiu paused and her eyes instantly turned red.
I still remember that when she was sent to Chu Yan's room by the old lady for marriage, she was filled with joy and thought that her life would never be too bad. As long as she could give birth to a son and a half for Chu Yan, she would be happy for the rest of her life.
Even though she was carefree, she was secretly happy when the Huating County Lord came in. With a majestic princess as his mistress, Chu Yan would never take another concubine in his life. She and the County Lord were the only ones in the huge room.
People, she will be promoted as an aunt just around the corner.
Who would have known that after the county owner became pregnant, her stomach was not very strong as soon as she stopped trying to avoid the child. Until the county owner became pregnant with her second child, there was no movement in her stomach. Later, Aunt Liu came in and how many times Chu Yan came to see her.
It was decreasing day by day, and over time, her heart gradually died.
"It's because I failed to live up to my expectations and couldn't give birth to a son and a half daughter for you. I can't blame you." Xiu Xiu lowered her head and said.
Seeing that she didn't even dare to complain, Chu Yan's eyes deepened, and he reached out to help her up, "Well, we are already old and we are an old couple. If you have any wishes, just tell me.
See if I can help you achieve it."
What he said was so sincere that Xiu Xiu was stunned for a moment and her heart started to beat wildly.
She knew that Chu Yan didn't come to her room often, and such opportunities were even rarer. If she didn't seize it, she would probably have to do this for the rest of her life.
So without any hesitation, she knelt down in front of Chu Yan and begged: "Master, while I still have a chance, please give me a child!"
Chu Yan was so frightened by her words that he almost jumped up to his waist, "Are you crazy? At your age, you still think about such a thing?"
Xiuxiu suddenly felt aggrieved, "I have been seeing doctors to regulate my health over the years. The doctor said that as long as I get pregnant before the age of fifty, I still have a chance."
The corner of Chu Yan's mouth twitched. Although it was not uncommon for old clams to give birth to pearls in Liuzhou, he already had two sons and two daughters. He didn't want to accompany Xiuxiu to go crazy when he was old. What's more, the eldest son now has four children.
It's a mess. If there's another father like him, it's just asking for trouble.
Seeing his reluctance, Xiuxiu's tears quickly welled up, "As a woman, I just want to have one child in my life. Don't you think this is too much?"
"It's not too much, it's not too much..." Chu Yan looked embarrassed, "But how old are we? Now that a child is born, do you want him to call us father and mother, grandfather, or grandmother?"
"You can call it whatever you want." Xiuxiu said resolutely: "I just want to have my own child. No matter if it is a boy or a girl, as long as it is the product of you and me, master, I will die without regrets in this life."
Seeing that she was so determined, Chu Yan didn't know what to say for a while. He thought that his two sons didn't listen to him and his two daughters were not sensible enough. If a younger brother or younger sister were to come at this time, they might be able to have some success.
The sense of crisis and the current tense situation in Dafang can be alleviated a lot.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Well, since it is your only wish in this life, then I will try it with you, so that when you die a hundred years later, you will not blame me for wasting your life."
Hearing this, Xiuxiu raised her head with joy and hugged his legs, "Master..."
Chu Yan sighed, leaned over to help her up, sat on the bed with her, and slowly closed the curtains...
There are no secrets in the Chu family. The news that Chu Yan asked for water in Xiuxiu's room soon spread. The head of Huating County was fine and had no reaction, but Aunt Liu was so angry that she threw the things on the table to the floor.
"This is unreasonable. He would rather go to that bitch Xiuxiu than come to my place. Has he lost his mind because of being rejected?!"
Seeing her getting angry, Chu Qian sat aside and buried her face in a book, not daring to take a breath.
