After Yu Chu went to the palace to offer rewards, he returned home first—the Chu family is a famous military family of the dynasty. Since the founding of the country, every dynasty and generation has been highly valued by the empress.
Most of such aristocratic families would receive the suspicion of the emperor, but the Chu family relied on their loyalty and strength to survive in the dynasty for so many years and become more and more brilliant.
In every dynasty, a prince of the royal family married a daughter of the Chu family to stabilize the relationship between the Chu family and the royal family.
Marriage has always been a means of strengthening relationships.
The original owner's father was a prince. He married into the Chu family and became the right husband. His status also guaranteed that Yu Chu, as the eldest daughter of the Chu family, was extremely honorable.
There are several younger sisters in the family, but they are all daughters of concubines, and no one is as capable as the original owner.
Therefore, the original owner was also the most beloved in the hearts of the mistress of the Chu family. Although the original owner guarded the border all year round and never came back, the relationship between mother and daughter did not become alienated.
After Yu Chu got off his horse, he went straight into the hall and met with the mistress of the Chu family who was in the main seat, and his father who was the husband of the Chu family next to him.
Father Chu stood up excitedly, with tears welling up in his eyes, he patted his daughter's hand, and said in a low voice, "Li'er, how are you doing at the border?"
"Father Lao is worried, everything is fine." Yu Chu said with a slight smile.
The mistress of the Chu family next to her nodded in satisfaction.
There were a few concubines and their daughters under the chief seat. Everyone had a forced smile on their face, and they were obviously not happy about Yu Chu's return.
The mistress of the Chu family chatted with Yu Chu for a while, and then asked her to rest first, "You have been at the border all year round, and you are tired after rushing all the way back. Let your father take you to the room to rest. I have something to explain to you."
Yu Chu nodded, exchanged pleasantries with a few concubine men, and then went out with Chu's father.
After the concubines smiled and exchanged greetings, their expressions were a little unnatural.
Chu Li was originally the eldest daughter, and she is now the most majestic and powerful general. Compared with their daughter, she is many times better than their daughter.
When Chu Li didn't come back, the mistress often missed her, and she must be even more favored this time.
The mood of the concubines and the daughters is naturally not good.
After Yu Chu and Chu's father left the hall, the mistress of the Chu family's expression became slightly colder, she glanced at the people in the hall coldly, and warned lightly: "Li'er is back, there are some people in the family, please control your behavior, Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have..."
She paused, and her tone became more serious, "Li'er is the eldest daughter of my Chu family, I remember this clearly, and recognize my identity."
Everyone's complexion changed, and then they responded in a low voice.
Chu's mother flicked her sleeves and walked out.
After she went out, the people behind dared to look up. The daughter of one of the concubines said angrily: "Mother is too partial, that Chu Li is the eldest daughter, mother is afraid that she will be wronged by us?"
Her father hurriedly said, "Stop talking, and be careful not to hear it in the ears of the mistress."
"I didn't say anything wrong. Chu Li dared to make an example of others in front of civil and military officials today. How could she be wronged by us?" Another girl bit her lip, "Mother doesn't need to warn us , the eccentricity is too obvious... "
The faces of a group of people are not very good-looking.
"Let her take all the limelight..."
