"So what if there is?" Shi Chunfen still couldn't say "no" in the end. She closed her eyes and smiled with difficulty: "I never thought that he would only have me as the only woman in his life."
Not to mention that the Chu family would not allow it, even in this world, Chu Ling would not be allowed to have only one woman.
He is now a high official. No matter where he goes, women are the objects of comparison for men. In the officialdom, women are needed to exchange benefits. Shi Chunfen cannot imagine that the other party will devote his whole life to her. She only hopes that Chu Ling will not be too much.
Just do whatever you want.
Chu Xiu didn't doubt the truth of her words. After all, it was natural for men to take concubines in this world. Shi Chunfen was born as a child bride and had been disciplined since she was a child. If she overbearingly hoped that Chu Ling would be the only woman by his side, then
I really saw a ghost.
"If he brings a woman back, are you sure you can control him?" Probably because he wanted to anger her, the more Chu Xiu said, the more outrageous he became.
Shi Chunfen raised her eyes and glanced at him. Just as she was about to speak, she felt a sweet smell in her throat. She coughed lightly and vomited blood on the spot.
Chu Xiu's expression changed, and he subconsciously wanted to reach out to help her, but Li Yan got there first, "Grandma, are you okay?"
Chu Xiu retracted his hand and said awkwardly: "Didn't you say that your illness is cured? Why did you vomit blood without saying a few words?"
"Who said it?!" After following Shi Chunfen for so long, Li Yan already had feelings for her, and angrily yelled at Chu Xiu: "Grandma has only gotten better a little bit, and can barely get out of bed, but she still can't
Work hard, otherwise you'll be coughing up blood like you are now."
"Can't work hard?" Chu Xiu looked at her strangely, "Then you still want to be the master?"
Shi Chunquin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, raised his head with a pale face, and said with a wry smile: "Why not?"
It's not that she can't work, but it's not that she can't use her brain.
Moreover, now that Chu Ling is gone and she has no children, apart from doing business, she really can't find anything else to do to relieve her loneliness.
When a man is bored, he can go have fun, but when a woman is bored, she can only embroider and flutter butterflies at home. She would rather be exhausted from doing business than be a useless young lady being raised by the Chu family.
Chu Xiu was choked by her and said helplessly: "You really want money rather than your life."
He said that, but his tone had softened, "Forget it, I know a few doctors in Liuzhou City, I'll bring them to you."
Shi Chunfen raised her eyebrows and quickly shook her head, "No need."
She herself knows that her body is entirely because she was frightened by Du Yumei's incident before, which caused her to be overly worried. Now that things have been going on for so long, her mood has gradually recovered, although she still feels blocked when she thinks about it occasionally.
Panic, but no longer sick.
But Chu Xiu became angry, thinking that she didn't care about his kindness, "If you don't need it, don't use it. Do you think I care about you?!"
Seeing that he misunderstood what he meant, Shi Chunfen said amusedly: "I mean, my condition has not reached that serious level yet. If you really want to help me, I have another thing to ask you."
"Oh?" Chu Xiu looked at her with interest, "please ask me? This is not common."
Shi Chunquin smiled and asked, "Then are you willing to help me?"
Chu Xiu thought for a moment and put his hands behind his back, "Then let's see what you beg me for."
Shi Chunfen was supported by Li Yan, who was a little exhausted at this time, and quickly said: "Why don't you go to my yard to talk in detail?"
Chu Xiu saw that her face was not good, so he did not refuse, but he still said awkwardly: "It's really troublesome!"
The group returned to Shi Chunfen's courtyard. Chu Ling had been away for such a long time, and now the courtyard had completely transformed into what Shi Chunfen liked. The small courtyard originally used for Chu Ling to practice martial arts was full of flowers, and Chu Ling's study
There was also a separate room next to it that was converted into a kitchen specifically for her to study dishes.
Although she no longer has time to go into the kitchen, that place has become a place where she occasionally takes a nap. Whenever she feels tired, she will go in from time to time to make some sherbet, make some snacks, and just watch
You will feel much happier.
Seeing such a change, Chu Xiu had a funny look on his face, "If my eldest brother comes back and sees you changing his yard to look like fireworks, how will he feel?"
Shi Chunquin glanced at him and said calmly: "I think he won't mind?"
A perfect son like Chu Ling lacks nothing in his life, the only thing he lacks is a little fireworks.
Shi Chunfen often wonders if this was the reason why he was willing to marry her in the first place. After all, other than this, there is nothing she can do to compare with those ladies of the world.
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly and followed her into the room without comment.
Li Yan sent someone to fetch hot water and asked Shi Chunquin to rinse her mouth and wash her face. She drank another bowl of medicine before sitting down face to face with Chu Xiu and discussing what she wanted.
"Liuzhou is in chaos now, and it is unknown whether the rebels will come to attack the city. Before that, I think our Chu family should be prepared first."
"Oh?" Chu Xiu looked at her seriously, "What do you want to prepare?"
"Prepare a way out." Shi Chunfen said bluntly: "Although there is a 90% chance that the rebels will not kill us because of the Huating Army, there is still a 10% chance that they will kill us all regardless. If this happens,
In this situation, we must have a way out of Liuzhou."
Seeing that she was thinking so far, Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's the way out?"
"typical."
Hearing these two words, Chu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, "Are you crazy? Are you trying to dig a tunnel from Chu's house to the outside of Liuzhou City?"
Not to mention how much effort this would take, even if they escaped from Liuzhou City, the whole family, old and young, was used to living in a pampered way, so they wouldn't be able to escape far.
Shi Chunfen shook his head, "The tunnel is not for escaping, but for hiding."
"Oh?" Chu Xiu stopped smiling and looked at her steadily.
"Those rebels will definitely not think that we will be hiding in Liuzhou City, so it is relatively safer this way." Shi Chunfen said seriously: "We need to prepare two tunnels, one leading to the outside of Liuzhou City, and the other leading to
In the temples in the city, wherever the rebels go, they will only rob merchants and dare not harass the temples. Because they consider themselves to be the masters of destiny, they do not dare to offend the gods and Buddhas at all, so we only need to prepare a lot of food and money in the temples
, you can continue to survive in Liuzhou City as if nothing happened."
This was the first time Chu Xiu heard this idea, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was indeed a clever idea.
The whole family, old and young, hid in the temple, eating fast and chanting Buddha's name on weekdays. When the rebels came, they hid in the tunnel. It was indeed possible to hide for a long time without having to flee. You can imagine it at the wrong time of the Spring Equinox!
