Chapter 011: Debate
Chu Jiating said: "It is better to marry the Duke of Ying than to marry the Duke of Rong. Duke of Rong is a hero and a powerful and important minister. There are several legitimate sons in the mansion who are not married yet. They are all talented and outstanding in appearance. Marrying any one of them will help our Marquis' Mansion. Of course, the candidate is not the fifth sister, but our eighth sister. How can we say that it is reliable to have a blood relationship with you?"
Since she wanted to help, of course she was her own comparison. She didn't want Chu Xinyu to become the benefactor of Zhongyi Hou. Besides, Zhongyi Hou's title will be inherited by her brother in the future. What if Chu Xinyu becomes powerful in the future and doesn't want to help her brother?
After hearing what your daughter said, Yuan was very pleased and touched her head and said, "Looking at your sisters' affection, I am so happy for my mother. As long as you three brothers and sisters can work together, there is nothing that cannot be solved. Although what you said just now makes sense, my mother has my considerations for doing this."
Furthermore, with the current status of our Marquis’ Mansion, the Duke Rong was a few levels short of their ability, and they might not be willing to marry our mansion. Yuan did not say this sentence out of fear that his daughter would think too much.
Chu Jiating asked curiously: "What considerations? Can't you tell me?"
"You don't need to know this. Just enjoy the results with peace of mind. Let your mother handle other things." Yuan said confidently and calmly that her confidence was related to her background.
The Yuan family was originally a gentry family, but later the family declined. Until Yuan's great-grandfather was named a marquis for his outstanding military achievements and inherited three generations. However, when her grandfather's generation was supported by the wrong team, he lost his title because he supported the crown prince to join the wrong team. However, Yuan's father retreated from the frontier and died for his country. He was posthumously named General Zhaoyong, the title of Yuan family was restored.
But it is not a marquis, but Ning Yuanbo.
Although the father of Yuan was the eldest son and made military achievements, he had already died in his country. His two sons were young and naturally had their titles robbed by the second wife. Yuan's mother must have been unwilling to accept it, but she was powerless to do it. In the end, she ended up in depressedness and left the three brothers and sisters of Yuan.
Although Yuan's grandmother loved the three siblings, the housekeeper was the second wife, and it was definitely a common occurrence. Besides, if there were no parents like Yuan, there were great shortcomings in education. In the future, it was very difficult to marry, and it was a five-year-old family. Not to mention that the wealthy family could not enter, even poor families would be criticized for her upbringing because she did not have the guidance of her parents.
Old Lady Chu and Yuan’s mother are cousins. Before her death, Yuan’s mother asked Old Lady Chu to take care of Yuan. Old Lady Chu felt sorry for Yuan and couldn’t bear to let her ruin it, so she took her to the mansion to raise herself.
Yuan is well-behaved and obedient, and is very kind to the person, and is deeply loved by Mrs. Chu. The two are neither mother nor daughter but are better than mother and daughter. Therefore, in the Marquis' Mansion, her words often represent Mrs. Chu.
Since her mother didn't tell her, Chu Jiating didn't ask, but when she thought of another thing, she said: "Mom, since you have plans to marry your fifth sister out of the house, do you still have to move your fourth sister out of the Tayulou?"
"Move, of course you have to move." Yuan said: "The yard was originally intended to let your sister move in, but it was occupied by Chu Jiaqi first. Now that Chu Xinyu's little girl is back, so I took advantage of this to let Chu Jiaqi move out. When the little girl marrys to the Duke Ying Mansion, your sister can move in."
As early as when she was about to pick Chu Xinyu up, she had planned, so she deliberately went to Longhua Temple to pray for blessings today and arranged for Chu Xinyu to live in the remote small courtyard in the northwest. She originally thought that Chu Xinyu's impulsive personality would definitely go to have a fuss with Chu Jiaqi, but she didn't expect that she could calm down and even give the yard to Chu Jiaqi.
Without Chu Xinyu's participation, it would be difficult for Chu Jiaqi to move out of Tayu Tower, so we must borrow Chu Xinyu's identity as the daughter of Chu Xinyu and force Chu Jiaqi to move out of Tayu Tower.
"Mom, then what should I do now?"
"You continue to be friendly with Chu Xinyu and be her close sister, just like before. By the way, you can find out what she has done in Puling Temple in the past two years."
The so-called "knowing" with the enemy, Chu Xinyu is now unable to understand, but she must be able to control her every move so that everything will be arranged in the future.
After Yuan finished speaking, he thought about it, and then ordered Qin's mother: "Pick two smart girls and send them to the small yard in the northwest."
Mama Qin responded and was about to prepare when she heard a servant report: "The fifth girl went to the ancestral hall with a bamboo basket to worship her former wife, and used the pastry sent by the eldest lady as a sacrifice to worship her in front of the former wife's tablet."
When Yuan heard this, his face turned green.
It turns out that she was not her own biological child, and she couldn't raise her after all, so she actually used the pastries she made "personally" to worship her biological mother?
...
The sunset is setting, and the gorgeous sunset is reflected on the lake, dyeing the quiet lake blood red.
When Chu Xinyu came back from the ancestral hall, he saw Qin's mother coming with two maids and an old lady, saying that the eldest lady saw that there were few people here and asked them to serve her.
How could Chu Xinyu not know that he was sending the maid out on his face, but secretly sent her to monitor her. If Chu Xinyu, who had been scheming before, had accepted it happily, and had no doubts.
But now, even though she knew Yuan's uneasy kindness, she didn't expect her to be suspicious, so she pretended to be happy and happily took it away.
Anyway, the yard is built on the edge of the lake and is deserted. If a few more people come in, it would be nice to add some popularity. Moreover, she has nothing shameful about it. Instead of refusing to let her doubt it, it is better to put it in control.
After sending the maid, Qin's mother was supposed to leave, but she did not leave immediately. Instead, she looked at her yard and asked her casually if the pastries made by the eldest lady had improved compared to before.
Chu Xinyu confirmed that they must have heard from the servants who secretly monitored her that she had been to the ancestral hall and gave the pastry that Yuan gave her as a sacrifice. She did not deny it and replied frankly: "I haven't eaten it yet, but when I thought that this was my mother's wish to me, I was very moved. So after I came out of Qingliyuan, I went to the ancestral hall. I wanted to tell my mother that my mother has taken good care of me over the years. Even though she made a mistake two years ago, she still loved me as usual when she came back. She also personally made my favorite crystal dumplings and osmanthus cakes for me, so I divided some for my mother to taste."
She paused, looked at Qin's mother, leaned closer to her, and said mysteriously: "Mom, do you know? I have been in Puling Temple for two years. My mother often comes to my dreams because she is worried about me. Now she has returned home and my mother takes care of me like this. I believe she is at ease in the spring and there is no need to worry about me."
As soon as the words were finished, a gust of wind blew into the window, Qin's mother suddenly felt a creepy feeling. She saw the fifth girl's expression was serious, not sure whether her words were true or not, but she did not dare to stay anymore, so she found an excuse to leave in a hurry.
