"Do you know what it is?"

"I asked, but she refused to say that, as if it was very mysterious. Could it be a gift to Princess Zhaoyang?"

"No matter what it is, she can't go the day after tomorrow." Chu Jiating didn't care, so she remembered something and said to Bingxue: "I just told you to do something tomorrow, and now I will do another thing first."

After saying that, he walked to the desk and took a piece of paper with a few lines of words and handed it to her: "You go to Mr. Cheng now and let him simulate this handwriting, copy fifteen copies of "Female Demons" and remember what you want tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Bingxue took it and immediately retreated.

...

Let’s talk about Chu Xinyu being kept by the old lady Chu, and all the people serving in the house retreated, leaving only two grandparents and grandchildren.

The old lady Chu asked Chu Xinyu to sit beside her, hold her hand, and without striking the bush, she pointed out directly: "Last time I mentioned the marriage with the Duke of Ying's Mansion, and my grandmother asked someone to check the third son of Jiang. It was indeed a bit unsatisfactory, but don't blame your mother, for your father, she had no choice."

Having no choice? How could Chu Xinyu accept such an answer? A shrewd person like Mrs. Chu is not sure what kind of selfishness the Yuan family has?

Hearing the old lady Chu say again: "Your mother worked hard to support your family over the years and raised your siblings into adulthood. Since your father was demoted, the situation in the mansion has been much worse than before. In order to get your father back to Beijing to restore his original position, we have spent many silver and many relationships to clear it up, which is futile. If it weren't for the lack of help, your mother would definitely not agree to the request of the Duke of Ying."

Old Mrs. Chu undoubtedly excuses Yuan, which Chu Xinyu can understand. After all, Yuan grew up next to her and is now the mistress of the Hou Mansion. No matter how selfish the Hou Mansion is, half of it is for the Hou Mansion.

Next, Old Mrs. Chu said a lot of great truths. Chu Xinyu listened, nodded from time to time, but didn't answer until Old Mrs. Chu suddenly changed.

"I said so much, just hope you can understand your mother. Mr. Jiang's third son died of two fiancée. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Besides, even if he is a fate and is the lonely star of Tiansha, your fate is not soft. Apart from these, it's nothing more than a man's romantic life. In life, there will be a lifetime in the blink of an eye, and some things will never be taken care of. As the children of the Chu family, they must always put the interests of the family first, but don't worry, grandmother will not let you down in this marriage."

At least she would give her a generous compensation for the dowry and let her marry out of the Marquis's mansion in a grand manner. This was the old lady Chu's intention, but she didn't say it out.

Is this acknowledging a marriage with the Duke of Ying? This is clearly a matter of selling women to seek honor!

Chu Xinyu stabilized her body. She could listen to her words with a well-behaved smile before, but now she couldn't even squeeze out a smile at all.

In order to keep his father in the capital and to restore his post, the old lady and Yuan were really cruel. Moreover, the old lady didn't know that the marriage partner had been changed to Anxing Bo's Mansion. In this way, Yuan had not explained it to her.

Judging from the current situation, whether it is the Duke of Ying or the Anxing Bo Mansion, for them, as long as their father can stay in the capital or have benefits for the Marquis' Mansion, their own granddaughter can also be used to sacrifice.

I thought the old lady felt a little guilty towards her, but she didn't think about it but thought too much. Chu Xinyu thought to herself, and this would be fine, so that she could see their hearts clearly and she would not be soft-hearted in any decision in the future.

Chu Xinyu took a breath, covered up the grievance and disappointment in his heart, and took back the hand he was being held without a trace, and said solemnly: "Grandmother, our Chu family has been an official for several generations, but never get involved in party and government disputes. But once this marriage is settled, our Marquis's Mansion will stand with the King of Jin and invisibly pull the second uncle into the party dispute. The wife of Duke Ying and Concubine Qi may have seen this and wanted to marry us."

The situation in the court now appears to be harmonious, but in fact it is hidden. Since the prince was twelve years old, he accidentally fell into the water. Since then, he has been weak and sick, and has been with medicine all day long. It is logical that such a body is not suitable to be the crown prince. However, the emperor not only has no idea of ​​abolishing the prince, but even gave the prince honor above ten thousand people. Not only did he eat, wear, live, and ceremonials, but also his daily behavior makes people feel that the tributes paid to the palace are not first sent to the emperor's Heming Palace, but the prince's Eastern Palace.

This treatment is invisibly announcing that the prince has extraordinary status in the emperor's heart. However, as the prince becomes increasingly weak, he is now unable to even complete the prince's government affairs independently. All the officials of the Zhan Shifu House and King Jing handle the government affairs. Therefore, the ministers in the court have their own opinions on this, secretly divided their gangs and factions, and supported their respective princes to compete in secret.

The ancestors of the Chu family have always been in charge of their own affairs and are not involved in political disputes to gain fame. Even though the Hou Zhongyi Hou Chu Zheng was demoted to the prefect of Jinan, the Hou's Mansion was no longer as glorious as before, but the fourth house of the Chu family was not separated. The second master Chu Xiao was brave and good at fighting. Now he is the second-rank governor and has real power. He is the target that all sects have always wanted to win over.

Chu Xinyu's mouth curled slightly and continued, "My grandmother must have wanted her father to stay in the capital. Then, through her in-laws with the Duke of Ying, her father is expected to enter the cabinet in the future? But you have thought that whether it is married to the Duke of Ying or the Anxingbo of Ying, it may not be so easy for her father to enter the cabinet. Although the prince's health is not good, he is kind and intelligent, and is favored by the emperor. As long as he is in that position for one day, how could the emperor expand the power of other princes and threaten the prince? Therefore, if you want to enter the cabinet, it is better to rely on your own strength rather than relationships."

"Also, once you are involved with the party, the so-called tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. Even if you don't have such a mind, others will put your ideas on your head. Besides, the dragon's merit is tempting, but don't forget that if you fail, you will lose your life to the Nine Clans. Grandma, I don't think you want to put the Chu family in danger, right?"

She knew very well that even though people like Mrs. Chu who had lived for most of their lives, although they had not risen in the official sea, they must have known what kind of destiny the party struggles brought to a family.

Concubine Qi is now receiving the favor, and there are in-laws like the Duke of Ying Mansion who are supporting him behind his back. Old Lady Chu thought that relying on them would lead to hope for his father to stay in Beijing. Perhaps it was because of his concern and chaos, so she forgot the point.
