Chapter 64 He's really used to her being vulnerable
The head of Huating County finally left the matter of Chu Xiu taking concubines to Shi Chunfen, because Chu Ling's words were so shocking that she was at a loss as to what to do. A mother did not even notice the changes in her own child, which undoubtedly made her feel frustrated.
Yes, compared to Chu Ling, Chu Xiu had been sensible and obedient since childhood, which also made her worry less.
Because of this, she didn't pay too much attention to Chu Xiu, but unexpectedly she made a big mistake.
Shi Chunfen lowered her head and followed Chu Ling, feeling equally disappointed. Although she had taken over Chu Xiu's concubine as she wished, she had just been told by Chu Ling that she realized that this was not a smart decision.
She only wanted to do something for the Chu family, but she forgot that Wang Jixue's identity was not appropriate for her to come forward. But now that she had taken over the job, it was obviously not appropriate to turn it down again. She could only take it one step at a time.
I hope it won't affect Chu Ling's reputation.
Chu Ling was walking, and her steps suddenly stopped. Shi Chunfen was caught off guard and bumped into his chest. She let out a cry of pain, staggered, and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she reached out and grabbed Chu Ling.
Ling's collar was lifted, and he barely stopped.
But after she stood still, she was stunned and bit her lip in embarrassment.
He didn't help her...
He didn't even help her!
Although it was not a big deal, Shi Chunfen felt extremely aggrieved. If not speaking for her in front of the Huating County Lord was just due to emotion, then his reaction just now was instinctively indifferent, as if she could not fall with him.
It didn't matter at all, he had already begun to reject her from the bottom of his heart.
This realization made her heart feel like a knife, and even the way she looked at Chu Ling changed.
Chu Ling looked down at the woman who was holding his collar tightly, taking in all the changes on her face.
Isn't this happy?
He really spoiled her to the point of being vulnerable.
"Have you had enough?" Chu Ling's voice sounded coldly, with a slight hint of impatience.
Shi Chunfen was startled, and immediately retracted his hand, taking two steps back instinctively, "I'm sorry, uncle, I...I didn't mean it."
I don’t know if I mean I didn’t grab his collar on purpose or if I hit him on purpose.
Chu Ling lowered his eyebrows, his expression full of alienated indifference. He had heard enough of Shi Chunfen's "I'm sorry". It had no meaning other than making him upset. "You have to find a matchmaker to do it with the Wang family. It must be done."
You have to look good and respectable, so as not to be taken advantage of by others."
Shi Chunfen nodded quickly, "Yes, uncle."
Chu Ling took a deep look at her and saw that she had nothing to ask him, so he said coldly: "I'm afraid you are here to see mother this time not just for this matter, but also want to say something. Why don't you make it clear once and for all."
They were obviously words of concern, but he said them in a business-like manner, which made Shichun feel suffocated again.
She looked at him blankly. She originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to let him take Kong Youlian in, but for some reason, she couldn't say the words.
She originally thought that taking a concubine was just a trivial matter, "Chu Ling nodded and she agreed", but when this matter really might become a reality, she realized deeply that someone was about to share a husband with her, and she felt like
She was hit with a blunt instrument and the pain was so painful that she couldn't speak at all.
Seeing that she didn't say anything for a long time, Chu Ling frowned. He didn't have time to listen to her hesitation, especially what she wanted to say was most likely not what he wanted to hear.
Without hesitation, Chu Ling turned around and left.
Shi Chunquin stared at his back blankly. Although she knew that he would not wait for her all the time, when he really did this, she still felt a strong sense of powerlessness in her heart.
But soon, she comforted herself again. If she didn't say it, she didn't say it. With the uncle's temperament, if he really wanted a woman, why would she need to speak?
Since he didn't say he wanted to take advantage of Kong Youlian, why would she bother to get in trouble with him?
She was thinking wildly while walking aimlessly in the County Lord's Mansion. She didn't go far when she saw Chu Xiu standing alone by the pond in the garden in a daze. The County Lord's Mansion was not as big as Chu's house, and there was no place to dig a lake.
There is no landscaping, so there is only such a small pond, where a lot of carp are raised.
Shi Chunquin thought for a while, then took the initiative to come up to Chu Xiu and saluted Chu Xiu, "Second Master."
Chu Xiu turned around and quickly returned the greeting, "Sister-in-law."
The two looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
In the end, it was Shi Chunfen who spoke first, "I was sent to the Chu family as a child bride when I was six years old. I only went home once after I got married to my uncle. At that time, I was so happy that I thought that as long as I returned home, I would never
Being alone again..."
Chu Xiu's eyes moved and he turned his head to look at her.
Shi Chunfen continued: "This is indeed the case. My aunt and others were very good to me and sent my cousin to me. Although I know they have other intentions in their hearts, for me, there is nothing better than staying with my family.
It’s more fun together.”
At this point, she paused and her expression became sad.
"It's a pity that my cousin doesn't think so." Shi Chunfen lowered his head with a self-deprecating arc on his lips, "To her, I am just a stumbling block in her life. She doesn't believe that I will do my best.
I can't be good to her, or even if I believe it, the good I can give her is far from what she wants."
Hearing the last sentence, Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Does she want to be the eldest mistress of the Chu family?"
Xu didn't expect him to be so direct. Shi Chunfen looked surprised at first, then smiled bitterly, "Is it so obvious?"
Chu Xiu snorted coldly and said indifferently: "Sisters turn against each other not because of money, but because of men. It is obvious that your man is so attractive that every woman wants to marry him and become a young mistress."
"Really?" Shi Chunfen tugged at the corner of her mouth, but found that she couldn't laugh. "What about the brothers? Why did the brothers turn against each other?" She looked straight at Chu Xiu, wanting to know the answer so urgently for the first time.
Chu Xiu was stunned by her gaze, and then shook his head in amusement, "He has treated you like that, and you still want to please him?"
"It's not to please." Shi Chunfen stated the facts calmly, "It's just that as a member of this family, I don't want you brothers to leave."
Perhaps in the eyes of others, this reason is unbelievable, but for Shi Chunfen, this is her humblest wish. Whether it is her aunt's house or the Chu family, she just hopes that her home will look like a home.
Instead of being filled with calculations, ambitions, and even jealousies.
If a person has to fortify his own home even when he is alive, then what is the meaning of such a life?
