Chapter 227 I'm Going to Help the Second Master Chong Xi
"Forget it." The head of Huating County said weakly: "It's already embarrassing enough. You have to rely on happiness to save people. If it spreads outside the Chu family, it will only make people laugh at Ah Xiu."
Chu Ling glanced around the room and quickly changed the subject, "Where's Dad? Why aren't you here?"
When Chu Yan was mentioned, the face of Huating County Lord became even more ugly.
He hasn't been to the room a few times since Chu Xiu's accident. He tried to protect Chu Quan last night. He is not worthy of being Ah Xiu's father!
Shichunfen was afraid that Chu Ling would touch the sore spot of the Huating County Lord, so he immediately said: "Maybe I should find a way to save the second master, otherwise I wouldn't be here until now."
Hearing the next sentence, Chu Ling's face darkened.
As a son, he knows better than anyone how much Chu Yan is capable of. If he tries to save people, he will probably hide and escape again.
He snorted coldly, turned around and walked outside, "I'll go get him!"
Shi Chunfen followed a few steps subconsciously, and then remembered that it would not be good for him to leave the Huating County Master like this, so he had to turn around and return to the Huating County Master, comforting him: "Mom, don't worry too much, maybe my father has already thought of it.
There is a way to save the second master."
"Ha!" The head of Huating County sneered and turned to look at Chu Xiu lying on the bed with some despair, tears slowly flowing down his face, "If I had known this, I shouldn't have agreed to let Ah Xiu come back in the first place."
If Chu Xiu had not come back early, nothing would have happened. It was she who harmed Chu Xiu and pushed her son to hell with her own hands.
Shi Chunfen didn't know how to persuade her for a moment, so she had to change the subject and said: "I'll prepare some food for you. Only when you're full can you have the strength to accompany the second master."
With that said, she fled the scene as if running away, lest the Lord Huating see the tears in her eyes and become even more sad.
When Chu Xiu walked out of Chu Xiu's yard at the Spring Equinox, she did not forget to take out a silk handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. Now was not the time to cry. She really had to prepare some food and replenish some energy for the Lord Huating County. As she
When she was about to go to the kitchen, she suddenly found a familiar figure standing in the far corner. Her heart moved and she immediately stepped forward and asked, "Xiaoman? Is that you?"
Ji Xiaoman turned around suddenly, not expecting to meet Shi Chunfen at this time, and immediately hid in a corner in a panic, "Chun Equinox, how is the second master doing now?"
When Chu Xiu was mentioned, Shi Chunfen's eyes darkened obviously, "The condition is not very good, the fever has not gone away."
"Then what's the chance of him surviving?" Ji Xiaoman asked anxiously.
Shi Chunfen looked at her expectant eyes and suddenly understood something, "You don't want to take a gamble and help him celebrate, do you?"
Seeing that she had exposed his thoughts, Ji Xiaoman lowered his eyes and said with a wry smile: "I didn't think it through either."
She really wanted to become the second young mistress of the Chu family, but Chu Xiu's current situation was so dangerous that it was too risky for her to gamble her whole life.
Seeing her hesitation, Shi Chunquin sighed, "I really don't know how things ended up like this."
Obviously she was just kindly helping Ji Xiaoman to arrange a meeting with Chu Xiu, but she didn't expect that things would develop like this. Chu Xiu was lying on the bed, uncertain about his life or death, and Chu Quan was imprisoned in Liuzhou Prison to await retribution. The entire Chu family seemed to be because of her.
A single thought led to her decline, and she could not escape the blame for her death.
Ji Xiaoman raised his eyes and saw the guilt in Shi Chunfen's eyes, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Shi Chunquin was like this just to help her, but she, the instigator, stood here as if nothing had happened, accepting the protection of others with peace of mind. This is unjustifiable.
Ji Xiaoman thought about it for a while, then finally changed his mind and said, "How about I go help Second Master with his birthday?"
Shi Chunfen suddenly raised his head and looked at her in disbelief, "Have you thought about it?"
If the marriage failed, she would have to remain a widow for the rest of her life.
Ji Xiaoman nodded quickly, "Think about it, it's what I owe the second master anyway, so I'll treat it as repaying it to him."
If she hadn't been too greedy and wanted to ask Chu Xiu out for a fight, nothing would have happened to him.
Although she is selfish, she also knows what to do and what not to do. Since becoming the second young mistress of the Chu family is what she has always wanted to do, why doesn't she take advantage of it and save Chu Xiu by the way?
Woolen cloth?
It would be great if she could save him, but even if she couldn't save him, with her reputation as the second young mistress of the Chu family, she would have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life. At worst, she would have no children and be alone for the rest of her life. Actually, it wouldn't be very painful!
Hearing what she said, Shi Chunfen stood in awe, "You have to think about it, you can't go back on this matter."
Although she wanted to help Chu Xiu, she also knew that the wedding was too mysterious. If she failed, not only would she not be able to save Chu Xiu, but she would also harm Ji Xiaoman's life. This was definitely not something she wanted to see.
Ji Xiaoman was silent for a while and nodded again, "I've thought about it, my life was originally raised by the Chu family, so I just want to return it to them."
If Chu Xiu died, given her great kindness to the Chu family, she believed that the Chu family would treat her well.
In such a big family, she doesn't have to worry about being lonely. At worst, she will adopt two daughters in the future, just like the old lady adopted her and Shi Chunquin. As long as she has money and status, will she still worry about being lonely?
Seeing that she had made up her mind, there was nothing more to say at the Spring Equinox. Now Chu Xiu was injured and every second counted, so she could not delay for too long and put the other party in more danger.
"Okay then." Shi Chunfen nodded and said, "I will take you to see the head of Huating County. As long as she agrees, you can get married immediately."
Ji Xiaoman nodded slightly and quickly followed her into Chu Xiu's yard.
The head of Huating County was sitting on the couch, and when he saw the vernal equinox coming back, followed by a girl she had never seen before, she quickly had a hunch in her heart, "Who is this?"
Shi Chunfen glanced at Ji Xiaoman, who quickly knelt down towards the county master of Huating, kowtowed and said, "Ji Xiaoman has met the county master."
"Ji Xiaoman?" Huating County Chief was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that the name sounded familiar.
Spring Equinox, Xiaoman, isn't this another child bride that the old lady kept in the Chu family?
She frowned and looked at him, "What are you doing here?"
Ji Xiaoman quickly said: "I heard that the county master wants to find someone to celebrate the Second Master. Xiaoman has admired the Second Master for a long time and is willing to marry him."
"What?!" Huating County Master suddenly stood up and looked at her in disbelief, "Are you serious?"
Ji Xiaoman nodded affirmatively, "Second Master, he has both civil and military skills, and has always been the object of Xiao Man's admiration. It is a rare opportunity like this. Xiao Man is willing to give everything, just to ensure that Second Master is safe and sound."
