But Chu Xinyu returned to the Marquis' Mansion and saw General Zhao coming as soon as he entered the door. When he saw her, he said, "Miss Fifth, the Marquis asked you to go back to the study room."

So Chu Xinyu went to the study, and Chu Jiating took her maid to Anshantang.

There was a servant standing there in front of the study. When he saw Chu Xinyu coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, and then helped her open the door with great sincerity.

Chu Xinyu stepped into the house, walked a few steps forward, turned right and saw Chu Zheng sitting there reading a book.

Then, I saw a stack of silver notes on the desktop, and it was estimated that there were about 20,000 to 30,000 taels.

Chu Xinyu's eyes were stunned for a moment.

When Chu Zheng knew that Chu Xinyu was coming, he saw her looking at the silver notes and said, "These silver notes are used to add makeup to you, the money earned by the shop and the farm that your mother left behind. Over the years, your mother has saved it for you, and now she has returned it to you."

Chu Xinyu knew that the shops and villages of Mei’s dowry were mostly managed by Yuan’s family, and the money earned fell into Yuan’s pocket. Where did Chu Zheng get so many silver notes? Could it be his own private money?

However, since he said he was adding makeup to her, don't be idle.

"Thank you, father."

As she said that, she reached out to get the silver notes, but Chu Zheng held them down.

"There is something that my father wants to ask you for help."

Chu Xinyu raised his eyebrows lightly, knowing that he had a purpose to add makeup to her silver notes, and lunch in the world was never free. He couldn't help but complain to him in his heart.

"Father, don't you want to plead for Yuan, do you?"

When Chu Zheng said that when he put on makeup for her, he took Yuan into his words and said that the silver notes were saved for her, she guessed a few points.

Chu Zheng's daughter was directly talking about the purpose, and he coughed lightly, saying, "I know this request is a bit cruel to you, but think about it, she used to treat you well, she gave you everything you think, she never postponed it, and your two sisters and younger brothers, didn't you love them very much before?"

"Do you want them to be rejected and ridiculed for their mother's affairs in the future? The so-called disaster is not as good as their children. They have never done anything to be sorry for you. For the sake of your love for them in the past, can you ask the emperor for personal favors and let your mother be in prison for a few years?"

"Father, don't you ask me to slap my aunt in the face when you do this?"

It was Concubine Kang who told Yuan to murder Mei. If she was the one who pleaded for Yuan, she would not only slap her aunt, but also become a joke in Jinjing! What is Chu Zheng's head structure? No normal people would speak to her.

Thinking of it, Chu Xinyu smiled sarcastically, "Besides, what identity should I plead with? Although my biological mother is not as old as my foster mother, if it weren't for her foster mother, how could she need her foster mother? You said she is good to me? Yes, I thought so before, otherwise I wouldn't run behind her without hesitation every time you beat and scold me. I really regard her as a mother and truly love her brother and sister-in-law."

"But, during the time at Puling Temple, I read an article in "Zuo Zhuan" called "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan", and then I realized that Yuan's kindness to me was actually a praise of me."

"No matter what I do, she obeys and indulges her, but she strictly restrains her younger brothers and sisters. The more arrogant I am and does not listen to discipline, the more my father, grandmother and everyone hate me. If I had not experienced the pain and life-threatening death, I would have been kept in the dark by her, and I would have been grateful to her if I died."

Before, Chu Zheng never thought that Yuan was a compliment to Chu Xinyu for discipline. At that time, he also said that she should not spoil her and make her lawless. However, Yuan said that because she was pitiful, she had lost her biological mother since childhood. In this family, if she didn't love her, who would love her?

Now that he heard Chu Xinyu's statement, Yuan's indulgence is indeed a bit of a praising and killing, but he did this not to evade Yuan's crime, but to his three children.

Because of his mother's affairs, the college did not drop him out of school for the sake of Zhongyi's mansion, but the classmates began to reject him, which seriously affected his mood. How can he stay in the college like this?

There are two daughters, although one of them is married, Yuan Shi was executed after the autumn, and Chu Jiating will be mourning for her biological mother for three years. Anything can happen in three years. Who knows whether Leping Hou will regret it in three years? Besides, after receiving the token of a relative, she has not yet chosen an auspicious day. Things that have not been implemented will become ill at any time.

"Just be to help your younger brothers and sisters." Chu Zheng ignored Chu Xinyu's attitude and said, "They did not do anything to be sorry for you. Their parents' fault has nothing to do with them. If you help them, they will not be unhappy."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and continued, "Since Zhimin is back, he will still inherit this title. Your sixth brother will not compete with him."

Chu Xinyu couldn't tell whether it was more disappointed or more angry. Is Chu Zheng a threat? If she didn't agree, would Chu Zhiyi and Chu Zhimin compete for the title?

She forced herself to endure all the emotions in her heart, stared at Chu Zheng coldly and said, "My brother and I are your children, especially my brother, isn't he miserable? Is this kind of thing happening at a young age, but have you ever cared about him? When you come back, you only care about Yuan and the three children she gave birth to, but have you ever cared about whether I was doing well?"

"Here..." She put her right hand on her left chest, "Because Yuan's chest still has a scar left, and she will never be able to remove it in her life. If my cousin hadn't been worried about me and sent someone to Puling Temple to protect me, there would be no Chu Xinyu in this world."

"Father, you are too partial! If you add makeup to the silver bill to make me plead for Yuan, then you can take the silver bill back."

She had silver, but she didn't care about the 20,000 to 30,000. What she cared about was Chu Zheng's attitude.

Chu Zheng has been back for a few days. In addition to attending court, he was busy with Yuan and her three children, but never talked to her and her brother. He thought that he had asked her to come to the study today, but he finally remembered that he also needed to care about him, but he did it for Yuan again.

Since he asked him to come here for Yuan, there was no need for her to stay, so she turned around and walked towards the door.

Chu Zheng wanted to call her, but in the end he said nothing.

When he heard that when the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the emperor promised Chu Xinyu two wishes. He originally wanted her to go to the emperor to fulfill one wish, exempt Yuan from the death penalty, and let her go to prison for several years, which was considered to be a punishment for everything she did. After all, the dead can no longer be resurrected, and the living can spend their whole life to atone for their sins.

But Chu Xinyu's attitude seemed very firm. If he made such a request, he would be afraid of turning against him immediately.

He sighed lightly, asked Butler Zhao to come in, handed him the silver notes and said, "Leave them to Miss Five."
