Chapter 77: Chu family situation

Views:

The anger on Chu Shoufu's face slowly faded, sitting on the chair of the grandmaster's office, but his expression was gloomy, "This is the last chance. If you don't say it, you can just do it, Princess Qi, there are obedient girls in Chu's family. "

"Grandfather, you heard from your granddaughter that the granddaughter never meant to..." She was sobbing, tears falling down her face from the corner of her eyes, she was unspeakably pitiful, and anyone who saw such a sadness could not help but soften her heart.

It's a pity that Chu Shoufu obviously won't, he never believes in tears.

"Put away your tears and get out!" he said coldly.

Chu Mingcui finally showed a look of fear and regret, and said anxiously: "Grandfather, I was wrong. I was wrong. I shouldn't take advantage of the friendship between Xima and you. It is indeed the granddaughter who told her to poison the Emperor's medicine. Yes, the granddaughter is just afraid that the Supreme Emperor will get better, and that King Chu will gain power again, and the granddaughter is also thinking about the overall situation."

"How do you know the relationship between Xima and me?" Chu Shoufu's voice was gloomy and cold, and the whole person was immersed in the gloom of Xiao Sha.

Chu Mingcui had never seen such a terrible look on her grandfather’s face, scared her lips to tremble, and said everything, “It was grandma who said it, and this matter was also instructed by her grandma. She said that my grandmother had lost you, just say It was what you meant. Mother Xi lost her life and was willing to do it for you. The granddaughter didn't believe it, but when I told Mother Xi like this, she agreed."

After she finished speaking, she quickly said: "Grandfather, Madam Xi will never tell about the murder of the Supreme Emperor, let alone give you out, so don't worry."

Chu Shoufu closed his eyes, his entire face looked like a wooden person without a trace of expression.

Chu Mingcui was uneasy, wringing his handkerchief, not knowing what to do.

After a long time, Chu Shoufu opened his eyes, his eyes were peaceful, "What do you think about the King Chu marrying your sister as his concubine?"

Chu Mingcui said anxiously: "Grandfather, this must never happen."

"Why not?" Chu Shoufu asked coldly.

Chu Mingcui hesitated, "My sister is the daughter of a concubine, how can she be a concubine?"

"Waiting to say, you can ask Yuan Qing to go down to the hall to beg, then your sister will be the concubine."

Chu Mingcui was shocked, "Jinghou said that?"

"However, Princess Chu objected. The emperor said that he respected Princess Chu. Therefore, the matter between your sister and King Chu was left alone."

Chu Mingcui breathed a sigh of relief, "That's not reluctant. At this point, it is better to do more than less."

Chu Shoufu said indifferently: "Yes, so the old man decided that your sister will serve King Qi with you."

"What?" Chu Mingcui sank to the ground, his face as gray as death.

She knelt quickly and said firmly: "No, grandfather, Yuan Qingling will agree, and she cannot be allowed to disagree. The granddaughter promises that King Chu will marry his younger sister as a concubine."

Chu Shoufu said expressionlessly: "This is your last chance. No matter what method you use, the old man must be clean and tidy. Naturally, the old man hopes that everyone will be happy. If you don't handle it well, or cause trouble, you, Princess Qi Bit, just give in."

In other words, he hopes that Yuan Qingling will quit voluntarily, and if he does it, he must leave no trace.

Chu Mingcui said calmly: "Grandfather rest assured, granddaughter will do it all."

Chu Shoufu raised his hand, and there was a tired look on his face, "Go."

"Granddaughter retire!" Chu Mingcuifu retired.

As soon as Chu Mingcui left, Chu Shoufu sent someone in and said indifferently: "The old man doesn't want to hear anyone talk about Xiaoxi again, the old lady, send a bowl of medicine over."

It was an old man with a long stature with a clear face. Hearing this, he lowered his eyes, "What about the princess?"

"She is a smart person. She will close her mouth tightly when she sees her grandmother's end." Chu Shoufu closed his eyes and suppressed the murderous breath in his eyes.

Chu Mingcui left the study and did not leave immediately, but went to his sister Chu Mingyang's house.

At the beginning of the year, Chu Mingyang looked very similar to Chu Mingcui, but Chu Mingyang was more arrogant than Chu Mingcui's calm and tolerant.

When Chu Mingyang was born, it happened that his grandfather recovered from the illness and rushed to move up. Therefore, Chu Mingyang has been favored since he was a child, and he was no less favored than his son from the Fuzhong.

Chu Mingcui even suspected that the grandfather had never thought of letting his younger sister be the concubine of Chu Wang from the very beginning.

Therefore, she must not allow Chu Mingyang to marry King Qi as a side concubine, which directly threatened her as a concubine. The grandfather reused her because she was calm, and now she has caused misfortunes, and it is impossible to guarantee that her grandfather will not abandon her.

Thinking of this, she became more worried, but when she saw Chu Mingyang, she raised the warm smile of her elder sister.

"Eldest sister," Chu Mingyang was very happy to see her back. He took her arm and walked in, with a pretty face blushing. He didn't expect to relax in the house just now, "show you my new stuff."

Chu Mingcui smelled a tinge of blood, she had always known her love for her sister, but she didn't know who to toss this time.

Sure enough, after being pulled in, he saw a little girl kneeling on the ground. The girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old. She had a bowl on her head, and the bowl was filled with water.

When the girl saw someone coming, she moved a little, and unexpectedly a few drops of water spilled. Chu Mingyang grabbed the whip on the table and drew it, shouting, "Kneel!"

The girl was in pain, slowly kneeling straight, her face flushed with tears in her eyes, she did not dare to fall.

There are already a few broken bowls on the ground, and the ground is also wet. It seems that he has suffered a lot just now, and there are also a few welts on his face.

"Is it fun?" Chu Mingyang looked at Chu Mingcui kindly, showing off proudly.

Chu Mingcui said: "You think it is fun."

Chu Mingyang sat down and lost his whip, "Actually, it's not fun at all, but I'm really bored, and my grandfather doesn't allow me to go out."

She glared at the girl, "Get out!"

The girl seemed to have received an amnesty, quickly took down the bowl and went out.

The rest of the maids hurriedly cleaned up the place and served tea and snacks before closing the door for the sisters to talk.

Chu Mingcui considered it for a while, and then smiled and asked, "Second sister, grandfather is going to negotiate for you, do you know?"

"I know!" Chu Mingyang's face was cold, "but I don't want to marry out so early."

"Grandfather's words, no one can disobey." Chu Mingcui sighed softly, "Why does my elder sister want to marry early? It is Babu Duo to accompany my grandmother. She is a pearl at home, but she can marry someone else's house...

"How do you say? Brother-in-law treats sister badly? I think brother-in-law treats sister well. Every time sister comes back, he will accompany you." Chu Mingyang asked with ears erected.

Chu Mingcui smiled bitterly, "It's all superficial scenery, but being a royal daughter-in-law, where is really comfortable? There are many rules in the mansion, and the superintendent is staring. If there is improper behavior, he will immediately report it to the palace. The queen mother will immediately reprimand it. arrival."

Chu Mingyang was taken aback, "Is it so severe?"

"Isn't it? I can't tell my grandfather after suffering. Grandfather can't interfere with the royal family affairs."
