Chapter 010: Discussion
Chu Xinyu looked at them calmly and argued, with a ray of light in her eyes, but she knew that Yuan had successfully made Chu Jiaqi hate her a little. She was not afraid of Chu Jiaqi's hatred, but she didn't want to be the blade in Yuan's hand, so she said understandingly: "Thank you for your mother's care for Yu'er. In fact, the small courtyard is pretty good. I like it very much. Since the fourth sister likes Xianyu Pavilion, let her continue to live."
"How can this work?" Yuan disagreed and said: "If someone comes to the mansion in the future and sees that the illegitimate daughter's courtyard is better than the illegitimate daughter's courtyard, it may be rumored that our illegitimate daughter's family will not be distinguished. Sister Qi should return the Xianyu Pavilion to Yu'er."
At the beginning, she didn't want Chu Jiaqi to move in. She planned to wait for Yun'er and the hairpin to move in. But Aunt Wang asked her mother-in-law to say that she had to agree, so she had to apologize and had to let Ting'er and Yun'er live in the same pavilion. Anyway, Chu Jiaqi is at the age of marriage, and it will not be too late for Yun'er to move in after she gets married, but it is considered that Chu Xinyu will return to the house.
Now, if Chu Jiaqi does not move out and is known to be a legitimate daughter's residence is not as good as a concubine's daughter, her mistress will end up being a bad reputation for abuse of her original legitimate daughter.
"I..." Chu Jiaqi couldn't find anything to refute, and only hated that he was not the legitimate daughter. His aunt was right. If her background was good, she decided everything. There was no need to do anything. Naturally, someone would bring the good things.
Finally, she gritted her teeth hatefully and said, "I'm going to find my grandmother." After that, she didn't even give up her farewell gift and turned around and left.
"It's really rude." Chu Jiating spitted, but saw Chu Xinyu silent, so she approached her and said, "If the fourth sister bullies you in the future, even if she tells her mother that although the fourth sister is protected by her grandmother, we are the legitimate daughters after all, and our identities are nobler than hers. Grandmother will not be able to tell this clearly."
Chu Xinyu did not express his opinion, but just nodded according to her words.
Chu Jiating seemed very happy, and held her hand and said something about Chu Jiaqi. It was nothing more than how arrogant and spoiled Chu Jiaqi was always bullying the younger sister, and she didn't even take it seriously.
If Yuan hadn't seen Chu Xinyu not speak, he wouldn't have stopped her. Later, Qin's mother came back and carried a bamboo basket with only two layers and placed it on the table.
Qin's mother said to Chu Xinyu: "There are dumplings and pastries here. The eldest lady knew that you would not be able to have lunch when you came back. She specially ordered the kitchen to make it for you and you should take it back for food."
"Thank you, mother, that daughter is more respectful than obedient." Chu Xinyu did not refuse and accepted Yuan's kindness openly.
Yuan said considerately: "Okay, the journey back is exhausted. I think you are tired, so you can go back and rest first."
Chu Xinyu said goodbye and walked out with a bamboo basket, but Chu Jiating did not leave.
Yuan condemned the maids who served him, and only Yuan's mother and Qin's mother were left in the hall. Seeing that Yuan seemed very tired, Chu Jiating went to make her a cup of ginseng tea himself, and then stood behind Yuan's back and gently kneaded her shoulders. Yuan was very pleased to take a happy picture of a kind mother and a filial daughter.
Mama Qin smiled and said, "Who said that our sixth girl doesn't know how to please her mother? Compared to the fourth girl's attentiveness, it is even better."
Chu Jiating said humbly: "Madam, you laughed. Filial piety is what we should do when we do our children. How can the false affection of the fourth sister be compared with my true feelings?"
As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will either be traitor or steal.
They knew better than anyone else about what kind of mood Chu Jiaqi wanted to please her mother. Although Aunt Wang was protected by her ancestors, her identity was the concubine, and she protected her the most. Her power could not surpass her mother, such as Chu Jiaqi's marriage.
Yuan closed his eyes and enjoyed his daughter's filial piety. After hearing Chu Jiating's words, he opened his eyes and said, "Ting'er shouldn't have just said that Chu Jiaqi is not in front of that little girl. What is Puling Temple? She can come back safely. I believe it is not as simple as her luck."
Chu Jiating was shocked and said, "What does mom mean is that there is a master behind her?"
Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is there any expert who has not found out yet? But she has changed a lot. Mama Qin, what do you think?"
Qin's mother was Yuan's dowry maid. In order to stay with Yuan, she never married. She was very loyal to Yuan and was quite strategic, which was very trusted by Yuan.
Mama Qin thought for a while and said, "The taste has changed, the temperament has become calm, and no longer like a firecracker. Maybe she has reflected on it in the past two years and has understood a little rules."
"Will she find out that I lied to her and held a grudge against me when I didn't plead for her at all?" Yuan remembered the scene where Chu Xinyu quietly watched the concubine's step-sister fight for her. It seemed that there was something different, but she couldn't say it.
"It shouldn't be." Qin's mother comforted: "She looked at you without hatred, she was very calm and mute. If she really found something, she wouldn't have no hatred for you. She was not the kind of cunning person, or what she really encountered in Puling Temple, she became timid and afraid of things, and was finally taken home to be cautious in her words and deeds?"
"After that being said, I don't know her condition in Puling Temple, and I'm not at ease. If you send someone to inquire, be careful and you can't miss any clues."
Qin's mother agreed, but Chu Jiating said disapprovingly: "Mom, no matter how much her fifth sister changes, she will not become more powerful. Apart from being a little more beautiful, she has no talent in her breasts. Besides, no matter how she changes, it is not up to my mother to decide what fate she will have in the future."
"That's right." Yuan's heart was relieved, and then worried, "It doesn't matter whether she is smart or not. What we are worried about now is how to make her nod and agree to the marriage. I feel really uncomfortable when I watch her face shaking in front of me all day long."
Chu Jiating complained: "Do you really want her to marry to the Duke of Ying's Mansion? This is an excellent marriage, how can she marry so well?"
Qin's mother explained to her: "Sixth Miss, don't worry. Although the third son of Jiang has a good family background, as long as the fifth lady marrys him, our Marquis's mansion will become in-laws with the Jiang family, which will have a great effect on the master's career. Maybe the master will be able to regain his post in the future, and even your own uncle will be promoted."
Although Chu Zheng inherited the title of Marquis of Zhongyi, he had finally become a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue for more than ten years after he inherited the title, but was later demoted and transferred to Jinan Prefecture as the prefect. On the other hand, the second-rank master Chu Xiao was promoted to the title after he made contributions to self-rescue. The fifth-rank Xuanwei envoy has now become the second-rank governor and deputy general, with a momentum that is directly overwhelming the big room.
Although Yuan was the wife of the Marquis, she had not been granted the title of imperial edict. The second wife He was already the wife of the second-rank edict. How willing she was to compete with her? These are all second-class people. Although she was the mother-in-law of the Marquis's Mansion, since the Marquis was demoted and the second-class master was promoted, the housekeeper was divided by He. If the eldest wife was not successful and worked hard on her official position, she would probably even take away half of the housekeeper's power by the second wife.
Therefore, she made a connection with the wife of Duke Ying. When she heard that he had a second son who had never married, she immediately thought of her daughter, but Chu Jiating had a heart to marry, so she would definitely not want to marry Mr. Jiang. What kind of girl is not the same age as Chu Jiaqi's age is the most suitable, but the identity of the concubine daughter was disliked by the wife of Duke Ying.
Later, I found out that Mr. Jiang had three fiancée. One accidentally fell off a horse and broke his leg. Two died of misfortune. But she did not want to miss the opportunity to get married with Duke Ying. Therefore, she thought of her stepdaughter Chu Xinyu. Instead of trapping her in Puling Temple for the rest of her life, it would be better to let her marry Duke Ying's mansion. This was not only helpful to her husband's career, but also revenge on Mei Ruochu's hatred for love.
Don’t say that she is cruel, but there is no stepmother in this world who really likes the wild species left by her love rival and original wife. If Chu Xinyu wants to blame her in the future, she can only blame her for reincarnation and choosing the wrong biological mother.
