The more innocent she looked, the angrier Sangpi became. She had been with Chu Ling for so long, and she knew very clearly that Chu Ling liked her innocent look, but if her innocence was always
If you can easily hurt others, how can you be called innocent?
"Whether there is a misunderstanding, the eldest mistress knows it in her heart." Sangpi said coldly: "I just hope that when the eldest mistress mentions this matter to the uncle, she will never say that it was Sangpi's idea. Thank God for that."
Seeing her resistance, Shi Chunfen frowned, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he had to wave her back.
After Sangpi left, Shi Chunquin looked at Li Yan and asked, "What do you think?"
Li Yan frowned and said frankly: "I find this very strange. Everyone says that Sangpi is the uncle's new favorite. Since he is his new favorite, why don't he even dare to ask for a title? This is not like Sangpi's style."
"More than that." Shi Chunfen said lightly: "That day I broke into A Ling's study late at night. Although he stayed there, there was no Sang Pi by his side. I didn't think about it at the time. Now it seems that the relationship between the two of them is
The relationship seems not as sweet as outsiders think."
Li Yan was not optimistic, "My uncle is not a womanizer to begin with. He might have something serious to do that day, so he didn't let her accompany him. Grandma should not put too much hope in them."
Shi Chunfen knew that she was afraid that her expectations would be disappointed, so she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Don't worry, I have no hope for this man for a long time. I guessed like this because I was afraid that there was something hidden in it, and it would be bad if I wronged them.
.”
"Wouldn't they know if you have any hidden secrets?" Li Yan offered advice: "You continue to propose to the uncle to give Li Yan a status and see how he will react. If he really likes Sangpi, it is impossible.
Don't go with the flow to please Sangpi."
"Yeah." Shi Chunfen nodded slightly, "You are right."
That night, as soon as Chu Ling returned to the courtyard, he was invited by Li Yan to go to Shi Chunquin's room. This was the first time he set foot in this room after Shi Chunquin returned to Liuzhou, and he naturally felt in a different mood.
"Li Yan said you were looking for me?" Chu Ling entered the room and spoke dryly.
Shi Chunfen reached out and motioned for him to sit down, and then said calmly: "I called you here today because I want to talk to you about Sangpi."
"Oh?" Chu Ling raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to talk about?"
Shi Chunquin looked at him steadily, and saw a faint smile on his face, and his mood quickly sank. Did he really like Sangpi so much that he would become happy even if he mentioned it?
Shi Chunfen lowered her eyes, not daring to look at the joy on his face anymore, and said coldly: "Since you like her and she also likes you, it's better to give her a status as soon as possible to avoid delaying her."
"What did you say?" Chu Ling's face quickly darkened.
If Shi Chunfen had seen it with his own eyes, he would have felt how angry he was at this moment. There was such a woman in the world, who took the initiative to ask her husband to give her love rival a title. If Chu Ling had not heard it with his own ears, Chu Ling would not have believed that it was him.
Words spoken by my beloved wife herself.
Although Chu Ling didn't see Chu Ling's expression, she heard his tone and the shock in his tone made her quickly raise her head, "I said, you should give Sang Pi a title as soon as possible to avoid delaying others.
.”
Chu Ling's complexion has improved a lot at this moment, but if you look closely at Shi Chunquin, you will definitely notice that his hands are shaking slightly, and all the anger in his heart is hidden in these hands, "Sangpi mentioned it to you.
Really?" Chu Ling still felt lucky in his heart.
Shi Chunfen shook her head and said frankly: "I saw that she was not young, so I felt that you should be responsible for her."
Sangpi has been with Chu Ling for a long time. She is two years older than him. It can be said that she has never done anything in her life. She has only watched Chu Ling grow up. Her period of being a plum blossom has passed.
If she gets married, having children in the future will be a problem. It's rare that Chu Ling and her fall in love, so it's not good to delay it any longer.
Seeing that she was thinking about Sangpi every word, but did not consider his feelings at all, Chu Ling sneered and said sarcastically: "Why, you can't give birth to a legitimate son, so you start to pin your hopes on others?"
Shi Chunfen's eyes narrowed. She didn't expect that he would miss her so much, and her face suddenly darkened. "Ah Ling, I meant well. If you don't appreciate it, forget it. Why bother being so aggressive?" As soon as the words came out, she was slightly startled.
, aware of Chu Ling's refusal, looked at the other party with some confusion.
But it was obviously too late. Chu Ling slammed the table and stood up, "I appreciate your kindness, but Sangpi and I have no plans to get married yet, so I won't bother you."
Seeing that his reaction was outrageous, Shi Chunfen's eyes softened and he took the initiative: "Do you have something to hide, or have I misunderstood you? Between you and Sangpi..."
"You don't need to worry about the relationship between me and Sangpi!" Chu Ling interrupted her abruptly and sneered: "After talking for a long time, you just wanted to test the relationship between me and Sangpi. I almost thought you were really with other people.
Women are different, in the end they are just jealous women!"
Seeing that he used "jealous wife" to describe herself, Shi Chunfen shook her head funnyly, "If a woman cares about her husband and can be called a 'jealous wife', then you can just think of me as a jealous wife."
Hearing the word "care", Chu Ling was slightly startled, and his tone softened, "It doesn't matter whether you care or test. In short, you don't need to worry about me and Sangpi!" After saying that, he wanted to leave, but he couldn't.
He suddenly stopped and turned around and said: "If you are really so free, go and help my father take care of the Chu family's business. Don't focus on the small back house every day, which will shorten your horizons in vain."
What he said was not pleasant, but Shi Chunfen could sense some concern for some reason. She was about to ask a few more questions, but the other party had already left the scene without looking back.
As soon as Chu Ling left, Li Yan quickly walked in and asked: "How is it, grandma, what did he say?"
Shi Chunfen shook his head and said with a wry smile: "As we expected, he refused to agree."
"Oh?" Li Yan's eyes lit up, "So, he and Sang Pi have no feelings?"
"It doesn't seem like this." Shi Chunfen hesitated: "Although he refused to give Sangpi a status, it is a solid fact that he is with Sangpi. He also built a lot of construction work in the yard and built a pond for her. I think we
There’s no need to be overly optimistic.”
After all, she no longer dared to believe in the nature of men. She knew that Chu Ling still had feelings for her and that she and Sang Pi were not inseparable, but so what?
Betrayal is betrayal, even if it is only for a day or a moment, it is still betrayal.
It is true that she would not hate Chu Ling because of concubinage, but equally, she could no longer trust him.
Li Yan understood what Shi Chunfen meant and couldn't help but sigh, "I really don't know what the uncle is thinking. Since he wants to choose Sangpi, why he refuses to give him a title? Is Sangpi just a tool for him to vent his desires? In fact,
And look down on her?"
Hearing this possibility, Shi Chunquin was slightly startled, and his mood sank again.
If this is the case, then Chu Ling is even more unbearable than she imagined. She would rather Chu Ling be tempted by Sang Pi and be a responsible man than just use women as a tool to vent. What is the difference between such a man and a beast?
?
"Forget it, don't think about these things." Shi Chunfen said calmly: "Anyway, I have made my attitude clear. It is his business whether he is willing to give Sangpi the title. I don't want to waste time on the two of them anymore.
.”
"That's fine." Li Yan said quickly: "Grandma is now accompanied by the young master and has the power of the Chu family. There is really no need to worry about those dirty things. When the uncle gets tired of her, he will return to grandma.
By my side, it won’t be too late to think about my legitimate son when the time comes.”
Seeing that she was still thinking about her legitimate son, Shi Chunfen shook her head in a funny way.
She has long stopped thinking about whether she is a legitimate son or not. The only thing she wants to do now is to take care of the business in hand so that the entire Chu family cannot shake her position.
After Shi Chunfen made up his mind, he went to see Chu Yan that afternoon and told him his wish to continue taking over the business. The other party had no objections.
"It's rare that you can understand that this is the style that the eldest young lady of the Chu family should have." Chu Yan praised: "Don't worry, from the day I entrusted the position of the head of the family to you, I never thought about occupying it.
This position will not be lost. From now on, you will be the leader of the Chu family and I will be the assistant. I will try my best to help you secure this position."
Shi Chunfen didn't expect that he would make such a promise, and immediately knelt down excitedly, "Thank you, father, for making it happen."
"Hey!" Chu Yan quickly stretched out his hand to support her and said with a wry smile: "I've already felt sorry for Qingqing. I don't want A Ling to feel sorry for you again. I have no right to interfere with what kind of woman he finds. The only thing I can do is
If you, the eldest mistress of the Chu family, behave decently, you can make up for my mistakes."
"Father..." Shi Chunfen's eyes turned red, and she looked at him with gratitude.
Chu Yan couldn't see such a look, and quickly evaded: "But besides that, I also hope that you can help me with one thing. When that thing is done, I will hand over the power of the Chu family into your hands."
.”
"Oh?" Shi Chunfen was a little surprised. He quickly wiped away his tears and asked, "I wonder what your father's instructions are?"
Chu Yan turned his head and looked at her steadily, "Do you still remember Xiuxiu?"
Shi Chunfen was slightly startled and nodded quickly: "Of course I remember, she is Chu Ping's mother." After saying that, she seemed to remember something and asked: "How is she now?"
When Xiuxiu betrayed the Chu family, the old lady tried to protect her from death and asked Aunt Liu for a one-year extension before dealing with her. Now the one-year period has long passed. She has never seen their mother and son again this time when she came back. I really don’t know.
How is the other person doing?
Chu Yan sighed and said frankly: "It is unforgivable to betray the Chu family. In order to scare the monkeys, I chose to leave the mother and leave the son, and drove Xiuxiu out."
"What?!" Shi Chunfen said with shock on his face.
She didn't expect that after the death of Huating County Lord, Chu Yan would still be so cold to women. Xiu Xiu made many mistakes. She had sorry for everyone in the Chu family, but never for Chu Yan. How could he be so cruel as to drive her away?
If she leaves, will she be separated from Chu Ping and her son?
Chu Yan knew that this was not a kind thing, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I know you must be thinking, I obviously have the ability to keep her, why do I have to do this?"
Shi Chunquin lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Chu Yan smiled and continued: "You know how much Xiuxiu loves Chu Ping. A crazy mother is full of weaknesses. I can't let her stay in the Chu family and continue to be used by others. What if one day, she will be taken advantage of again?
If you make a huge mistake, it may not be as simple as just driving you away."
Shi Chunfen was slightly startled, and then she understood Chu Yan's painstaking efforts, "Did father do this to protect her?"
Chu Yan turned around and sighed softly: "You may not believe it, but what I want you to do for me this time is to place her well so that she will not suffer outside."
Shi Chunquin nodded and asked curiously: "Why me?"
It's just a matter of relocating a woman. Anyone can do it. Why do we have to wait until she returns to Liuzhou to do this?
Seeing the confusion on her face, Chu Yan laughed and said, "Maybe you don't even know that you have the ability to calm a madman."
Shi Chunquin was stunned for a moment and looked at each other in confusion.
Chu Yan looked at her and continued: "In the case of Weng Xiaohuan, Qingqing later, and Xiu'er and Ruyan, I believe you have the ability to appease people's hearts, and what Xiuxiu needs most now is someone who can appease her.
"
Only then did Shi Chunfen realize it, and said with a smile: "Then I really want to thank my father for trusting me."
Seeing that she had agreed, Chu Yan quickly walked to the desk, wrote an address to her, and said seriously: "Xiuxiu will be left to you, as long as you can arrange her well and let her give up her desire for revenge and death.
I think, from now on, the position of head of the Chu family will be yours."
Shi Chunquin took the address and said with a smile: "Father, please don't worry, Chunquin will do his best." After saying that, she was about to leave the scene with the note, but after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and turned around and said
: "Actually, it's not a way to appease people, it's just about chatting with them on an equal footing."
After saying that, she left the scene without looking back.
Chu Yan stared at her back blankly, chewing her words carefully, "Chat as equals?"
Soon, he started laughing.
Yes, who would chat with a madman on an equal footing?
Only Shi Chunfen, a fool, can look at anyone without secular eyes.
Weng Xiaohuan was like this, and so was Qingqing who was almost driven crazy by him.
Shi Chunfen took the address and quickly got on the carriage to find Xiuxiu. Now Chu Yan placed her in an inn in Liuzhou. Although she had no worries about food and clothing, he locked the door tightly and did not allow her to run around.
The reason is that the other party's mood is very unstable and she is always thinking about returning to Chu's house for revenge or committing suicide. Chu Yan will naturally not let her do these two things and can only temporarily lock her up with strong methods.
