"Exactly." Jiang Ya came in the night wearing a cloak, adding some credibility to this matter.
Although Chu Shun usually doesn't take care of things, he also knows the seriousness of this matter. The first house chose not to report the matter in order to preserve the reputation of the Chu family, but as for the reputation of their second house, who should protect it?
?
Seeing that he was silent, Jiang Ya took the initiative and said, "Don't you intend to stir up this muddy water?"
Chu Shun raised his eyes and looked at her. Although he had never dealt with Jiang Ya, she came to him late at night and told him such important news. He knew with his feet that she had bad intentions, so he had to be on guard.
, "Miss Jiang, thank you very much for telling me such important news. I will send someone one hundred taels of gold to you later. Now you can invite me back."
These words meant that she wanted to end the relationship with her. Jiang Ya's eyes darkened and she smiled calmly, "If I were the second master, I would never just sit back and wait for death."
"Oh?" Chu Shun frowned, "How do you say this?"
Jiang Ya analyzed with a smile, "As a member of the Chu family, the second master must give priority to preserving the reputation of the Chu family. Even if he sacrifices your second wife a little for the reputation of the Chu family, it doesn't matter, right?"
"
Chu Shun had a solemn face and said nothing.
He does think so. Just as he said to Xue Jinxiu and his son before, he only hopes to be the second master of the Chu family safely. He has no intention of fighting for anything with the big house, but he is not willing to fight for it.
It is completely different from being willing to be sacrificed, so what he saw at the moment was not very happy.
Jiang Ya looked at him with a smile and continued: "If you want to protect the reputation of the Chu family, why must you sacrifice your second brother? If the second master goes out to stir up trouble now, Caogang will thank you for providing the information and thoroughly inform the first house.
Cut off all contact, and when the time comes you can persuade the Cao Gang to settle the matter as an in-law, won't you also safeguard the reputation of the Chu family?"
"This..." Chu Shun hesitated.
He was not a fool, and he naturally knew that Jiang Ya's provocation had bad intentions, but who made her truly speak his mind?
Different from the aggressive behavior of Xue Jinxiu and her son, Jiang Ya used a gentle attitude to state a fact that was not good for him. If he did not listen to her instigation, she would only lose an ally at most, but he was very likely to lose.
Caobang, a good in-law, has been stepped on by his eldest brother all his life.
People are like this. Originally, he didn't think Caobang's marriage was very good, and he even wished that Chu Run would break off the engagement as soon as possible. But once someone threatened his interests, he was reluctant to let go.
Seeing that he was wavering, Jiang Ya took the opportunity to say: "Even if the second master doesn't think about himself, he has to think about the fourth master. He is a concubine. It is difficult for him to have a bright future except for his official career and marriage. This is his only opportunity."
When the Third Master is given the opportunity to straighten up, can the Second Master have the heart to give up on him just like that?"
Thinking of how Chu Quan and Xue Jinxiu had disobeyed him before, Chu Shun's face darkened.
As a father, he would naturally not harm his son, but he could still help his bastard regain some face wherever he could.
He looked at Jiang Ya, his eyes becoming deeper, "You are so focused on instigating the relationship between me and Dafang, what good will it do to you?"
Jiang Ya said bluntly, "I just hope that the big house can be a little more chaotic, so that I can have a chance to get close to the uncle and marry into the Chu family."
Chu Shun's numerous aunts immediately understood Jiang Ya's thoughts and couldn't help but laugh, "A Ling is really lucky to be favored by a girl like you."
These words were full of sarcasm, but Jiang Ya didn't mind, "If you don't do it for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you. What you men are looking for is a career, and what we women are looking for is marriage. The second master has lived to this age and will not repay this kind of treatment."
Can’t things be clear?”
Chu Shun burst out laughing. He was naturally open-minded, otherwise he would not have had such a happy chat with Jiang Ya.
He and Jiang Ya hit it off right away. On the other side, Shi Chunquin received a tip from Oriole and immediately realized that the second roommate might harm Chu Ling. However, with her current status, she might not be able to stop it directly, so she went straight to Huating County.
He went to the Lord's courtyard and told her the whole story.
After hearing what she said, the head of Huating County couldn't help but frowned, "You shouldn't come to me about this matter. You should go to the old lady."
Although she was powerful, it was not easy for her to directly bypass her mother-in-law and take action against the second wife, especially when there was no evidence. It would be thankless for her to take action hastily.
In fact, Vernal Equinox also knew this, but felt that he should not bypass his mother-in-law and go directly to the old lady for help. Now that he had her permission, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I will go now?"
"Yes." The head of Huating County nodded slightly. She didn't want to get involved in the Chu family's affairs at all.
What's more, Chu Ling had repeatedly asked her to teach Shi Chunequin how to be a mistress. Isn't now a great opportunity for her to stand up?
At the spring equinox, I left the yard of the Huating County Master and went straight to the old lady's place. The whole Chu house was brightly lit. The old lady actually didn't sleep too deeply. She almost woke up when she screamed. After hearing her report, she quickly put on her coat.
After getting out of bed, "You immediately take my message to the concierge and forbid anyone from leaving the Chu family, lest they deliver news to the Caobang."
"Yes, grandma."
Shi Chunfen rushed to the gatehouse without stopping. When he got there, he saw that Chu Shun and Chu Run had already arrived. They didn't know what they said at the gate. A servant galloped away on a horse. Shi Chunfen immediately asked Lang Hao to send someone.
He went to chase them, but he rushed in front of Chu Shun and Chu Run, and said with a dark face: "Why did you send people out at this late hour?"
The two people obviously did not expect that the Spring Equinox would appear so soon. They looked at each other and Chu Run smiled and said: "I was worried about Xiaohuan's safety, so I sent someone to Caogang to find out the news."
"Are you here to inquire about information or deliver information?" Li Yan couldn't help but ask.
Chu Run glanced at her and said lightly: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Shi Chunfen's face was hard to look at, "You know what you are doing, but you didn't expect that we are all one family, yet you actually stabbed one of your own at this juncture."
Chu Shun coughed lightly and interrupted her, "Don't talk nonsense without any evidence."
Chu Run laughed, with a hint of coldness in his smile, "So what? Knowing that Xiao Huan is in a very dangerous situation, your eldest brother actually chose to conceal it for his own benefit. What if Xiao Huan had any shortcomings?
, can you let your conscience go?"
What he said was so powerful that Shi Chunquin was stunned for a moment.
She was just thinking about not letting her second wife harm Chu Ling, but she didn't think about this aspect at all.
Yes, shouldn't the top priority be Weng Xiaohuan's safety?
