Returning to the Champion's Mansion, I thought it would be quiet at such an early hour, but I didn't expect to walk into the second hanging flower door. I saw the servants of the manor standing in the yard, all respectfully listening to the hostess's instructions.
Chu Zishan saw his mother, Mrs. Chu He, sitting in the main seat of the hall. Her makeup was meticulously arranged, her temperament was noble, and her words were unquestionable domineering. Occasionally she raised her hand to pinch her eyebrows, showing a little tiredness.
Does your mother get up so early every day?
She has been thinking about what Grandma Li said these days. It is indeed not easy for her mother to have a family full of women and children.
Mother wants to find support for the Chu family and rely on others, hum!
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.
After reviving her life, she will no longer trust others, and she will become the most solid support of the Chu family.
She paused for a moment. Although she understood her mother's hard work for the Chu family, she still couldn't get over the hurdle that her mother didn't feed her after giving birth to her and left her to fend for herself.
The servants all dispersed, and Mrs. Chu He saw her daughter walking towards the backyard with her maid. Her delicately painted eyebrows tightened: "This rebellious girl didn't come home all night? She has no sense of shame in corrupting the family tradition. Aunt Zhao, you
Bring someone over and bring this rebellious girl to you."
"Madam, big girl..."
"Go quickly."
Mrs. Chu He gave a sharp shout, which frightened Grandma Zhao so much that she didn't dare to say anything, so she hurriedly called for someone to go to the backyard.
An hour later, Nanny Zhao stood in front of Chu Zishan's bed. Her legs were sore from standing. Looking at the two door gods Chuchun and Jidong, she looked embarrassed and said: "Miss, I believe that you must be a bad person if you don't come home all night."
If there is a reason, the girl should explain it clearly to the madam. If there is such a stalemate, if the madam practices family law, then you will suffer the consequences of your skin and flesh."
Chu Chun frowned and said, "Mother Zhao, you should go and persuade Madam. She is always convicted of the girl's crime without asking any questions. She always resorts to family law. I am really worried about the eldest girl being wronged."
"Alas, the eldest lady has not returned home all night. It's hard to talk about it, right? Madam is angry and worried, so let's go and explain it clearly. Otherwise, the eldest lady will tell the old slave, and the old slave will tell the madam."
"What we girls do is all confidential and important, and it's not good to tell others." Chuchun said confidently.
"It's a good idea not to tell anyone else."
Mrs. Chu He walked into the courtyard, and Aunt Zhao hurriedly walked over: "Madam, the eldest girl stayed away all night because of the old man's order..."
Mrs. Chu He glared at Aunt Zhao: "Don't make up lies to deceive me."
Aunt Zhao was so choked that she didn't dare to speak.
Mrs. Chu He walked to the door and looked at Chuchun and Jidong who were standing respectfully with sharp eyes.
"You slutty slave, give me a slap."
The women immediately stepped forward, grabbed Chuchun and Jidong, and slapped them from left to right.
Even though Chuchun and Ji Dong were highly skilled in martial arts, as slaves, they did not dare to resist their master and could only be beaten.
"stop."
With a low shout, the door opened, and Chu Zishan walked out, looking at Chu He with an indifferent expression.
"The four girls around me belong to the grandmother's house. If they make mistakes, their grandmother will punish them. You have gone overboard."
Mrs. Chu He looked at Chu Zishan coldly: "If I beat them for overstepping, then you are my child. It is my duty as a mother to discipline you. Come here, tie up this unfilial daughter. I will punish you twenty times with the rod according to the family law."
.”
"It's natural for mothers to discipline their children, but what have I done wrong to deserve family law?"
In Chu He's view, her daughter's indifference was contempt and provocation for her mother. She pointed at Chu Zishan angrily: "You are a girl who has not returned home all night. This is shameless and has ruined the family tradition of our Chu family. You will
As a result, my Chu family's daughter's reputation has been ruined, she has been ridiculed and despised, and no one dares to marry her. Do you think it's wrong for me to beat you?"
Chu Zishan looked at his angry mother. In her previous life, she would have contradicted her mother without giving in, and then kicked everyone out of her yard.
She has done such stupid things all the time, and it makes her mother angry, which is what she likes to see.
At this moment, all she could think of was the image of the Chu family... the blood-stained Jiuyou Terrace.
My heart felt like there was a stone blocking it, and I was in pain.
She lowered her head and said, "Okay, if you want to fight, you can fight."
Chu He was startled, this damn girl actually gave in?
In fact, she knew that she had no control over this daughter at all, but if her daughter stayed out all night, it would affect the reputation of all the daughters of the Chu family, and she would never allow it.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Tie her up, just like everyone else."
Aunt Zhao stopped the woman who came forward and said, "Madam, we can't fight. The eldest girl was injured on the battlefield."
Chu Zishan smiled bitterly: "I don't feel bad if I die, so what if I get hurt."
Mrs. Chu He frowned and glared at her stubborn daughter bitterly.
"Girl, it's not that Madam doesn't feel sorry for you, Madam is..."
"Shut up." Mrs. Chu He pushed Aunt Zhao away and pointed at the women: "I won't tie them up anymore."
Several maids were worried and burst into tears, but they knew that the eldest girl was stubborn and did not dare to say anything.
"beat."
Listening to his mother's decisive instructions, Chu Zishan closed his eyes.
It is said that maternal love is great, but she has never experienced it at all. In her mother's heart, she is redundant.
No matter which life she was in, her mother would always be iron-hearted and cold-blooded to her.
"Stop!" came a shout.
Mrs. Chu He looked along and saw the dignified and noble Prime Minister's wife walking into the courtyard accompanied by two nuns. She was shocked.
The Prime Minister's wife ran towards Chu Zishan and said, "What are you doing? Please release Miss Chu quickly."
Mrs. Chu He hurriedly walked over and said, "Madam Prime Minister, why do you come to my champion house?"
The Prime Minister's wife pointed at the Chu He family: "Mrs. Chu, you are confused."
The four maids rushed over and quickly untied Chu Zishan.
Chu Zishan stood up and looked at the concerned Mrs. Prime Minister: "Madam Prime Minister, why are you here?"
"It's a good thing I'm here, otherwise I'll give you a slap in the face." The Prime Minister's wife looked at the confused Chu He and smiled warmly: "Last night, an assassin sneaked into my house and wanted to kill my master. It was the eldest girl who came out in time to save me.
Master, this is the reason why the eldest girl didn't come home all night."
"You said that Zishan saved the Prime Minister?" Mrs. Chu He looked shocked.
"It's absolutely true..."
Mrs. Prime Minister told Mrs. Chu He what happened last night. Mrs. Chu He was ecstatic. She calmed down her mind, looked at her daughter and smiled happily: "This is what she should do. Mrs. Prime Minister, please stop standing and talking."
, please come to the house quickly."
Mrs. Chu He helped the Prime Minister's wife into Nuanxiang Pavilion.
The two ladies sat down, and after exchanging pleasantries, the Prime Minister's wife asked her servants to bring up the thank-you gifts.
"Madam Prime Minister, I cannot accept this gift..."
Just as Mrs. Chu He refused, she suddenly heard the deafening sound of firecrackers outside, mixed with the sound of gongs and drums.
Just when she wanted Aunt Zhao to go and see what was going on, she saw the housekeeper running in: "Madam, someone is coming to propose marriage outside."
"Who are you proposing for marriage?" Chu He asked in surprise.
"I'm proposing marriage to the eldest lady." The housekeeper said, handing over a name card.
Mrs. Chu He took it and opened it, "Gu Yimo, who is this? I haven't heard of any official family having a son named Gu Yimo."
"Gu Yimo!" The Prime Minister's wife happily clapped Chu Zishan's hand and said with a smile, "This is an outstanding son-in-law."
