Chapter 044: Persuasion
Not long after, Yuqin came back. She told the old lady Chu that the second girl's face was crawled by poisonous insects, and she accidentally brushed it, causing the venom in her body to explode, which would only happen if it touched her face.
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Chu was frightened, "Can this kind of wound be healed?"
Yuqin replied: "Doctor Miao said it's okay. Just apply some medicine, apply externally and internally, and you will be cured in more than a month. However, some traces will be left after the event. In the future, apply more ointments such as scar removal, and there will be no traces left in a year or two."
Chu Jiating frowned, "It's been too long for a year and a half. The second sister will get married in two months."
Chu Jiayun said: "It would be a good idea to cure it. It's better than disfigurement."
Yang Lianxin sighed and said, "I don't know if I apply more rouge when getting married, so I hope my second cousin will not dislike you."
Since ancient times, no man has ever disliked beauty. If the second cousin's face has scars, even if it will fade away in the future, before it fades away, wouldn't he dislike it all day long?
They talked about it in a few words, but neither Chu Xinyu nor Chu Jiapeng said anything. If such a thing happened, the marriage would definitely not go well. The mansion had a mixed population, and there would always be a few bad rumors, and I don’t know what it would be like.
Old Mrs. Chu also thought of this, and she immediately ordered that the servants in the mansion should not gossip behind their backs.
Everyone talked with Mrs. Chu for a while, then stood up and left, but Mrs. Chu spoke up and asked Chu Xinyu to stay and speak.
Chu Jiating returned to Luobi Garden and felt very upset.
She found that her grandmother was becoming more and more concerned about Chu Xinyu, and she kept talking to her several times. Although she didn't know what they were talking about, her grandmother would be more kind to her the next day. If this continues, she might like her more than she did.
Although her grandmother defended Aunt Wang and gave her the same position as a concubine in the mansion, she was far less fond of Chu Jiaqi than her third sister and herself. However, Chu Jiapeng is talented but self-reliant. Even when facing her elders, she would not say a few more words to like, so she did not regard Fan Jiapeng as her opponent.
Chu Xinyu is different. She is in the eldest wife, and she is the legitimate daughter of the first wife, and she is the second wife. She is still a lie in her identity. If she compares herself in other aspects, how can she be in love?
Especially the love of my grandmother, my mother said that my grandmother has saved a lot of money over the years and can get her beloved granddaughter, and the dowry he will give will definitely be more than others.
When my mother married her father, her dowry was very shabby because she had no parents. Although she had accumulated a lot of dowry over the years, she couldn't share the amount of it evenly with the three siblings. Therefore, she could not let others share the love for her grandmother.
When Yuan came in, he happened to see Chu Jiating's depressed look, and walked over and stroked her head, "My good daughter, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Jiating turned around and put her waist on Yuan's waist, buried her face and said, "Mom, why do you want Chu Xinyu to come back? I don't want her to argue with me. I've lowered her head in my identity. If my grandmother likes her again, she will have to pay more to her with the dowry."
Only in front of Yuan's family can Chu Jiating show the willful side of the little girl. In public, she must maintain her dignified, generous, elegant and decent image.
In fact, she sometimes envies Chu Xinyu. At least she can do whatever she wants and can do whatever she wants. She has been strictly disciplined by her mother since she was a child, not allowed to do this or that, and she has completely lost her personal freedom. Everything she does is arranged by her mother.
Because of this, she was jealous of Chu Xinyu, jealous of her being able to do what she wanted to do, and she was stupid and insidious, and she didn't know what was going on when she was sold. So she disdains such a stupid person from the bottom of her heart.
Yuan patted her back gently and said, "Didn't my mother tell you the reason? But don't worry, she will not be your concern soon. When she gets married, my mother will give you more generous dowry."
This is not an empty promise. She has indeed made a lot of money over the years and cannot buy a small amount of fertile land and shops. After Chu Xinyu gets married, she can only give these things to her children justifiably.
Chu Jiating said depressedly: "Didn't you say that she can marry into the Duke of Ying's Mansion? Why is it the Qi family? The Qi family is the concubine's mother's home. Wouldn't she enjoy all her glory after marrying?"
She was happy with the King of Qin. She originally didn't like Chu Xinyu to discuss kinship with the Jiang family, so she instigated Chu Jiaqi to destroy it on her back. When she came back that day, she saw her mother frowned and she thought the marriage would not be done. Unexpectedly, she turned around and wanted to discuss kinship with the Qi family. If she had to choose, she would rather Chu Xinyu marry to the Jiang family.
The wife of Duke Ying was just the aunt of King Jin, and she was separated by blood, but the Qi family was the mother of King Jin. Chu Xinyu married her, which was equivalent to the Marquis's Mansion choosing King Jin. If she got involved in the battle for the throne, how could she marry King Qin?
It is impossible for a family to serve the second master. Even if you don’t have that intention, in the eyes of outsiders, they are just walking on two boats. Grandma, father and uncle don’t want to see such a thing happen.
No one knows a daughter better than a mother. How could a daughter not be able to see that her daughter is thinking about being a mother? Yuan had already seen Chu Jiating likes the King of Qin, but she knew very well that even if she didn't choose the Qi family, it would be impossible for her daughter to have the King of Qin.
In order to make her break this thought earlier, Yuan said in a single blow: "The family has a daughter and a hundred families to ask for it. In the future, our Marquis' Mansion will be prosperous. Are you afraid that you will not be able to find a better marriage? The King of Qin has always been a leisurely king. If he gets involved in fighting for the throne, once he loses, he will die. Mom doesn't want you to experience these things. Mom wants you to be in line with your future husband, and be in harmony with each other, and happiness will always be forever."
"How can you conclude that he will definitely fail? What if he..." Before the word "success" was expressed, Chu Jiating seemed to remember something, and looked up in shock, "Mom, you..."
How could my mother know that she likes King Qin? She clearly hides it very well.
"How could you know?" Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed her smooth forehead: "You were born from my ten months of pregnancy. How can you hide your thoughts from me? Tell you, King Qin, don't think about it. Other mothers may be able to help you plan. You will be in the hair next year, and your mother will find a better place for you."
When Chu Jiating heard this, somehow suddenly felt sad and said to Yuan: "But I really like him very much."
-------------------
Chapter 17 Lan has modified it and changed it to: Chu Jiating doesn't know that Yuan knows that she likes the King of Qin.
Let the mother and daughter be proud for a while first, Miss Yu will clean up one by one.
