Chapter 78 Is the uncle here to pronounce the sentence?
Chu Ling had an indifferent look on his face, "A woman who dares to express her love to a married man in public at a bonfire dinner is the mistress of the family. What's wrong with teaching her a lesson for her children?" He looked at the head of Huating County with a smile.
Fei smiled and said: "Does mother think that the dignified eldest son of the Chu family should be manipulated by the daughter of a Qingqi general? I'm afraid this will damage your reputation, the county master."
"You?!" County Master Huating raised his eyebrows, obviously very angry at his last sentence.
She glared at him and laughed angrily, "Okay, okay, now I, as a mother, can't control you. Do you think you've lost your basic conscience just for Shi Chunquin alone?"
"Conscience?" Chu Ling chuckled, as if he had heard some big joke, "I never think that a man who has three wives and four concubines is equivalent to having a conscience." He looked at her, his gaze reaching into people's hearts.
, "Father married Aunt Liu out of so-called conscience, and now he has indeed enjoyed all the blessings of the family, but what about you, mother, are you happy?"
The Lord of Huating County was shocked and was speechless for a long time.
She thought of countless reasons why Chu Ling refused to take a concubine, but she never thought of this one.
It turned out that she had become the person she hated the most from the beginning. As much as she once hated those who forced Chu Yan to take concubines, others now hate her as much.
After more than ten years of love-hate entanglement, she has not gotten better. Instead, she has changed from the pitiful daughter-in-law she was at the beginning to the evil mother-in-law she is today.
She had ten thousand reasons to look down on Shi Chun Equinox, but not long ago, wasn't the old lady looking down on her in the same way?
Whether she is as noble as a princess or as humble as a child bride, she seems to have only one identity in front of her mother-in-law, that is, the disliked daughter-in-law.
"That's enough, brother." Chu Xiu said unbearably, "How can you talk to mother like this? How embarrassing can it be for you to just marry a woman?"
He does not mean that.
Wang Jixue next to her was obviously startled. It turned out that she was that "just".
Chu Ling glanced at them and said coldly: "Just because you are casual doesn't mean that I am casual. If you don't feel embarrassed, you can help me marry Jiang Ya and Kong Youlian together. Then everyone will be happy."
"You?!" Chu Xiu choked.
By the time he thought of what to say, Chu Ling had already tossed his sleeves and walked away.
Seeing that he wanted to chase him again, Wang Jixue reached out to stop him, "Forget it, Second Master, it's not sweet to force yourself. Since I don't like it, it's better not to force it."
Chu Xiu paused and looked at her deeply, "You are very considerate of him."
Wang Jixue's face turned pale and she was speechless for a long time.
——
Shi Chunquin was imprisoned for three days. During these three days, Chu Ling never came once. The only time he appeared was just outside the room and did not come in at all. Her initial expectations gradually turned into giving up. Perhaps from the beginning,
She shouldn't have pinned her fate on others.
If she had chosen to get out of trouble on her own that day instead of foolishly thinking that she could be fearless just because she was the eldest mistress of the Chu family, things would not have developed into what they are now. It was because she underestimated the enemy too much and took herself too seriously.
Chu Ling's status in his heart was taken seriously, so he fell into this passive situation.
"Grandma, today is already the third day." Hongxing said worriedly: "There has been no movement outside. Do you think Miss Jiang is really dead?"
In the past three days, they knew through the mother-in-law who delivered meals that Jiang Ya would go through a three-day critical period, so they had been counting the days in the room, hoping that Jiang Ya would wake up soon.
But it was already the third day, and there was still no movement outside. Shi Chunquin didn't know whether Jiang Ya was alive or dead, let alone what kind of punishment he would receive.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Tao said eagerly: "Then Jiang Ya is also a doctor, how could something happen so easily? In my opinion, this is probably her trick. She will not wake up until the last moment. The purpose is to make the entire county
The main palace believes in her plight, she is really scheming."
Shi Chunquin listened to the discussion between the two of them and silently took a sip of the tea in his hand.
Regardless of whether Jiang Ya is dead or alive, I believe the result will be within these two days.
She must recharge her batteries and wait for the tough battle ahead.
Just as they were noisy, there was a sudden sound of the door opening outside the house, and then Chu Ling walked in with a cold look on his face.
For three days, he appeared in front of Shi Chunquin so unexpectedly that Shi Chunquin looked at the stubble on his chin and didn't react for a moment.
"Uncle!" Hongxing and Lutao were delighted at the same time, and both leaned down to salute him.
Chu Ling waved his hand towards them, beckoning them to go out, and soon only he and Shi Chunfen were left in the room.
When the door was closed again, Shi Chunfen still didn't speak. Chu Ling sighed softly, walked up to her and sat down. He naturally picked up the tea in front of her, lowered his head and took a sip, and then said with a smile: "What's the matter?
Don’t you recognize me?”
Shi Chunfen looked at him, her eyes quickly turned red, but she stubbornly raised her neck and refused to shed a tear, "Are you here to pronounce the sentence?"
The punishment imposed on her by the county government will make her give up on this place completely.
Chu Ling frowned, turned her face away unhappily, and forced her to face him, "Didn't I tell you to believe me? It's fine now."
Shi Chunquin looked at him without speaking.
Chu Ling said again: "Jiang Ya woke up and said that she fell by herself. It has nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry."
What an unexpected answer!
Shi Chunfen looked at Chu Ling's frown, and thought faintly in her heart that if Jiang Ya retreated in order to advance, the entire county government would feel sorry for her even more. Even she herself felt a surge of emotion in her heart the moment she heard this answer.
Also endlessly grateful.
Even though she, the client who knows Jiang Ya's true identity, is like this, others are not sure how to praise Jiang Ya's nobility.
I'm afraid Chu Ling will also be grateful to Jiang Ya for safeguarding her reputation as a young lady, right?
Shi Chunfen lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly, "Really? Then I should really thank her."
Chu Ling's expression turned cold. He obviously didn't expect Shi Chun Equinox to react like this. Somehow, a strong uneasiness surged in his heart. It seemed that while he was looking for answers to Shi Chun Equinox, he had quietly lost something.
.
He had a stern face and said dissatisfied: "Are you angry with me?"
Shi Chunfen looked at him and had to say that Chu Ling was a very magnanimous person. Every time he discovered her emotions, he would ask her directly like now, even though he knew that after asking, he might face a storm.
, but he still searched for the answer tirelessly, but she didn't have the courage like him.
