Shi Chunfen was shocked and quickly leaned over to agree, "My daughter-in-law will only follow her mother's teachings."
Seeing that her contradictory remarks were easily forgiven, Ji Xiaoman secretly remembered the nature of Huating County Lord and said with a smile: "Who said that the elder sister-in-law is not like the eldest young lady of the Chu family, then I will be the first one not to agree.
She helped deal with Wang Jixue in my yard for a few days. Without her help, I really don't know how to deal with the relationship with Aunt Wang."
"Oh?" The head of Huating County looked at Shi Chunquin with some surprise, "Is that so?"
Shi Chunfen nodded sheepishly, "Jixue was rude to me. I was afraid that her resentment would disturb the second master's recovery, so..."
"Eh..." Huating County Lord raised his hand to interrupt her, "She is just an aunt, you don't need to explain why you dealt with her. You must always remember your identity. You are the dignified eldest mistress of the Chu family. Don't
When it comes to punishing one aunt, even if you send them all out, you are still free."
In a place like the Chu family, it is extremely outrageous for a aunt to dare to ride on the head of the mistress. I don’t know who started this trend.
Shi Chunfen understood and nodded hurriedly, "My daughter-in-law understands."
Seeing that the Huating County Master was trying his best to teach her, Ji Xiaoman's eyes flashed with a bit of jealousy. She had come to greet the Huating County Master every day in the past few days, thinking that she really liked her, but today she was in front of him.
This appearance of his own was nothing more than a warning to her that the eldest son was the eldest son, and she would not be allowed to make trouble. No matter how diligent she was, she would still be the second young mistress of the Chu family.
superior.
Compared with her thoughts, Shi Chunfen didn't think so much. She only felt that the Lord of Huating County was a lot more kind, probably because Chu Xiu turned the corner and she was in a good mood.
The two of them walked out of the courtyard of the Huating County Lord with different moods.
Ji Xiaoman followed Shi Chunfen and took the initiative to smile at her: "My sister-in-law dares to contradict my mother for my uncle. I really admire Xiaoman."
"Where is it..." Shi Chunfen waved his hands quickly and asked: "How is the second master's injury? Can you get out of bed now?"
Seeing that she was so concerned about Chu Xiu, Ji Xiaoman's eyes darkened and he said calmly: "There is still no improvement. The doctor said that it will take a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, and it will take less than ten and a half months. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to get out of bed."
"That's it." Shi Chunfen looked regretful.
In this way, Chu Xiu no longer sees Chu Quan as a drowned dog. This is good, there will be less hatred in his heart, and he will become more cheerful.
The two briefly chatted for a few words, then parted ways and returned to their own yards.
At this time, Chu Ling had come back from the old lady. Seeing that she still chose to get up early, he couldn't help but feel resentful, "Who was just lying in bed and refused to get up? Why did you get up again when I turned around?"
Shi Chunfen burst into laughter. She didn't expect that he would be so jealous. She stepped forward and pinched his nose in a funny way, "Am I not going to pay my respects to my mother? What are you so angry about?"
Chu Ling snorted, grabbed her hand and kissed her, then asked, "What did mother say?"
Shi Chunfen briefly described the scene just now, and then said with a smile: "Niu, I have already blown it out for you. If you can't give mother a satisfactory answer, she will go and attack Chu Quan herself."
"Don't worry." Chu Ling reached out and took her into his arms, "She doesn't have such a chance."
That afternoon, a secret spread quietly in Liuzhou City. It turned out that the third young master of the Chu family was inhumane, so he remained childless for so long after getting married. He brought so many aunts into the house just to cover up his incompetence. The third young master of the Chu family had no money.
Ling'er couldn't bear the loneliness in the boudoir, so she finally escaped back to her parents' home the night before yesterday.
This secret was spread loud and clear, but Chu Quan was placed under house arrest by Chu's order, and he had no idea what was happening outside.
By the time Chu Shun and Xue Jinxiu rushed back to Liuzhou to release him, the rumors were completely out of control. Some people even made up a poem for him and spread it orally on the street. The main idea was that he was inhumane and had hidden his lies and married off so many people.
My aunt is useless.
Chu Quan was so angry that he wanted to stand up and refute, but clarifying this matter ten thousand times would not be as powerful as giving birth to a child, but he couldn't give birth, so the rumors were naturally eliminated.
Chu Shun and Xue Jinxiu went back and forth, only to realize that their son had been tricked by Chu Ling again. Both of them were extremely angry, but they were unable to seek justice from Chu Ling. In addition, Qian Ling'er left the divorce letter and ran back.
Regarding the affairs of her mother's family, the entire second house was in a state of collapse and had become the laughing stock of the entire Liuzhou. The future they had sacrificed everything for Chu Quan had already disappeared in the rumors.
Fortunately, they didn't have time to be laughed at for too long. The Spring Festival passed quickly, and Chu Ling and Chu Run were about to embark on their spring journey. Originally Chu Quan was healthy and painless, and he should have gone to Beijing with them, but because of his reputation
He was completely ruined, and he really had no face to see others. In addition, there was no room for stains in his official career, so after discussion, the Chu family deprived him of the right to go to Beijing to take the exam, and only allowed Chu Run to go out on behalf of the second room.
After this incident, Chu Shun became much older overnight. Chu Run became his only hope and an important bargaining chip for whether his second wife could turn over. So the night before Chu Run left home, he rarely came to Chu Run's room.
Encourage him to take the exam well.
"Dad, I have some banknotes here, which are my personal savings. Your aunt doesn't know that, you can take these banknotes and buy a nicer house in the capital. After you are named on the gold medal list, you can settle down there and live there forever."
Don't come back to Liuzhou, lest our second room's affairs involve you."
A person who had always been selfish suddenly opened his heart in front of him. Although Chu Run had a hard heart, he couldn't help but feel a little moved at this moment. What's more, he had never been a hard-hearted person. Looking at the thick stack of banknotes in front of him, he
For the first time, he felt the depth of his father's love, but even so, there was still no reaction on his face.
"Father, please rest assured that my son will definitely strive for success, gain fame, and strive to turn around the reputation of our second wife as soon as possible."
His voice was not loud, but it was inexplicably full of conviction, which made Chu Shun very happy.
"Okay, okay!" He couldn't help but hold Chu Run's hands, "Fortunately we still have a son like you in our second room, otherwise I really don't know what I have lived for in this life."
Seeing how excited he was, Chu Run's eyes darkened and he suddenly said: "When my eldest brother was put in prison, did my father remember that I existed?"
"Ah?" Chu Shun was stunned, and he didn't quite understand why Chu Run mentioned this matter at this time.
Chu Run looked at him, suddenly smiled, and put the stack of banknotes on the table, "I mean, when my father said that not having a legitimate son meant that he would never have a successor, did he ever think of the existence of my son?
