Chapter 435 (1/2)
”Qiao Xinyu is still young. Your father is in his prime. It's good to have more children, but...” Chen paused. ”She was so confused that she wanted Qiao Xinyu to have a son to replace Yan'er and take over the Chu house in the future.”
If it were Chu Yan, Chen would not be convinced, but he knew that his son was really not as good as Chu Yan. Moreover, Chu Yan was more positive than Chu Zhang. He had a clear distinction between public and private. He was never impartial. On weekdays, even one or two silver coins would be sent to her. It was not that Chen lacked one or two silver coins, but that Chu Yan was upright. No matter how good Qiao Xinyu was, It's just a little girl, or the old lady's relatives. These relatives can't be beaten by eight poles. Why should we give the Chu house to an unborn child? This is not old fool, what is it!
If Chen hadn't talked about Chu Zhi, he didn't know it would happen.
She asked, ”does mother care?”
”Your mother is a very kind person now. She eats fast and chants Buddhism every day. How can she care about this.”
After hearing this, Chu Zhi crossed his eyes with a touch of meditation.
”But you don't have to worry. Your brother is not a fool. Besides, with so many eyes staring at you, nothing will happen. The reason why I tell you this is to let you know that the old lady is old and confused. If she says anything that annoys you, don't take it to heart.”
Chu Zhi nodded and said with a smile, ”thank you for telling me this. I have written it down.”
When they finished, they went to the yard of the big house. Chen knew that Chu Zhi was busy, so he said, ”then you go to find Wan'er, and I won't accompany you.”
”I've disturbed you very much today, aunt. Please hurry. It's very troublesome for such a big Chu house to take care of you alone.”
Chen said with a smile, ”it's busy, but there are only those around. It's mainly to accompany you.”
……
But when Chu Zhi passed, Chu Wan was sitting at the window to tidy up his wedding clothes.
Her wedding dress has already been almost ready. Now turn it out to see what needs to be improved.
”Five younger sisters.” Chu Wan hurriedly got up, ”please sit down quickly.”
”Congratulations.”
”It's thanks to you.” several years of dreams finally came true. She married the fourth prince as a concubine. Chu Wan was happy, ”if you didn't help me this time, I'm afraid...”
She was also too stupid. Knowing who Chu Xi was, she foolishly cooperated with her. Fortunately, Chu Zhi pointed out that she didn't fall short.
”As I said, we are just mutually beneficial.”
”I know.” Chu Wan is a little worried, ”but now I've torn my face with Chu Xi. I just want to be with my fifth sister --”
”Four elder sisters.” Chu Zhi interrupted her with a smile, ”do you know what I'm looking for you to do today?”
Chu Zhi's insightful eyes couldn't say a word when he arrived at his mouth late.
She forced a smile: ”five younger sisters... Didn't they come to see me today?”
”Fourth sister, whether you really know it or pretend not to understand it, I just tell you, this time you turn back and help me ask Chu Xi to eat it, and I also help you fulfill your wish. We are clear. The next thing is up to you. I won't interfere in the affairs of the virtuous palace. If there is no major event from now on, you and I won't have any contact again.”
Even if she had guessed, Chu night's face was still white. She subconsciously squeezed her handkerchief: ”five sisters...”
”Fourth sister, these jewelry are my dowry for you. I hope you don't dislike it.” Chu Zhi said. Dong'Er put a jewelry box in front of Chu Wan. ”I hope you can keep your pet in the palace of the virtuous king and give birth to a son and a half as soon as possible, so as to stabilize your position.”
