Seeing Su Hui, Mother Su did not dare to refute, but after Chu Jinmiao said this, Mother Su suddenly remembered what they were doing today. As long as things are done today, Chu Jinmiao will be able to run for the election of the prince's concubine. This is the great luck of their old Su family! In order to make her daughter an empress, Mother Su gave her all, and immediately shouted: "I'm not crazy, you are an unfilial daughter, you dare to curse your mother and father!"
Mother Su violently pushed Su Hui away, and said to Chu Jinyao, "Although we treated you badly in the past, but the dutiful son was born under the stick, and I did it for your own good, but you held a grudge in the end. Poor parents in the world, you don't know. Good people, but we still have to stop you, and we must not let you go astray. You think it is a good thing to have money every month, but do you know what the other party is thinking? You are young and easy to be blinded by the benefits in front of you Live, and complained in turn to remind your parents. But we are adults, even if we are resented, we will pull you back!"
Mother Su suddenly realized that she was here to help Chu Jinmiao today, and the original account with Chu Jinyao had simply gone astray. She only talked about the money that Chu Jinyao had come from improperly. Now that she has ruined Chu Jinyao's marriage, let her give this good thing to Chu Jinmiao. Just come over and clarify to Chu Jinyao. Anyway, Chu Jinyao is the real daughter of the Hou Mansion. If one marriage fails, he can always talk about the next one.
Lin Xiyuan frowned immediately when he heard these words. He only heard that the female family members were making trouble. He thought it was just to write about trivial matters, but he didn't expect this village woman to say such words when she said it. Today, I came to talk to the Chu family to get married, but I can't let this village woman talk nonsense. Lin Xiyuan turned his head and instructed Chang Sui to help Su Hui pull the person away, but before Lin Xiyuan could move, Princess Jun came over and held Lin Xiyuan's hand: "It's none of our business, you don't interfere. "
Lin Xiyuan couldn't believe what he heard: "How can the fifth sister's affairs be called not our business."
Seeing what they said, Princess Jun gave Lin Xiyuan an angry look and threatened, "Don't worry about it."
Lin Xiyuan was so angry that he could barely stand, but in front of everyone, he couldn't help showing his mother face. Lin Xiyuan forcibly suppressed his thoughts and went to see Chu Jinyao immediately. There was a lot of noise all around, but Chu Jinyao stood quietly by herself, as if everything had nothing to do with her. Lin Xiyuan was heartbroken by Chu Jinyao's stubborn and indifferent expression, but he couldn't do anything when Princess Princess was here.
Chu Jinyao was about to laugh. She had known Mother Su for so many years, but it was the first time she had seen Mother Su so smart. It's a pity that she was so smart to deal with her. Chu Jinyao is really despairing of the world's human feelings. The Zhao family has raised Chu Jinmiao for more than ten years, and even after the truth is revealed, she still spoils Chu Jinmiao as usual, and the adoptive mother Su's family will also turn to her own daughter in the event of an accident. So, what is she
Chu Jinyao looked at Su's mother coldly, feeling disheartened several times. She retorted almost mechanically: "If you follow your logic, you don't have to do business in the world. Whose wife doesn't have a few Zhuangzi shops, and if the shopkeeper pays dividends on time, it's ill-intentioned, so why are these ladies and wives? Say?"
Su's mother panicked and said quickly: "I didn't say it, I only told you about it. If it wasn't for the Wei family's other thoughts, then you said, why did he let you buy shares in vain and give you the money every month on time? Send money?"
Chu Jinyao only knew that wealth and silk moved people's hearts, so she had been hiding these days without revealing her wealth. But I didn't expect that the jealousy and greed of people's hearts were so terrifying. Just because she has a ready-made share of silver every month, Chu Jinmiao instructed Su's father and Su's mother to say this
At this time, even the other people standing by to watch the excitement whispered: "Yeah, why? Maybe there is really something we don't know."
The daughter-in-law of the second room, Yan Shi, thought of Chu Jinyao's large boxes of unknown use, and she said, "I remember that the fifth girl still has five or six mahogany boxes. My mother was partial and gave it to the fifth girl directly. We don't even know what's inside."
Chu Jinyao let out a long sigh. The husband was innocent, but he was guilty. She explained for the last time: "It's just repayment and apology. I have a clear conscience. If you don't believe it, go to the witnesses. I've said it all, and I don't want to say the rest. Believe it or not."
After hearing this, Yan pursed his lips and felt that this was trying to cover up, and even Mrs. Chu helped Chu Jinyao to cover it up. But if Yan was asked to find a witness, Yan would not go.
Madam Chu was furious when she heard Yan's words: "The guests are still there, shut up your mouth!" After she finished scolding Yan, she turned to the princess and said, "Princess, let's sit inside, Don't mind the nonsense."
Unspoken, Madam Chu wanted to continue talking about marriage.
Princess Jun stared coldly for a long time, and now she has put her hands in her sleeves high. No matter what the truth of this matter is, Chu Jinyao was stubborn and rebellious, but she didn't run away. She didn't look like an obedient and filial daughter-in-law. Chu Jinyao dared to contradict her adoptive mother in front of everyone. Even if her adoptive mother did something wrong, it was a taboo for the venerable. But look at Chu Jinyao, she didn't do the same. How could the princess of the county dare to recruit such a person as a daughter-in-law
The princess of the county said to the old lady Chu: "Old lady, it's getting late, so we won't sit down. Today's matter is the matter of your house, and we shouldn't listen to it, but the matter is very important, and I dare not make the decision. Go back and let our old lady make up her mind."
Mrs. Chu was inexplicably shocked when she heard it, what does Princess Princess mean? Is this happening or not? She also wanted to stop the Princess of the County to elaborate, but the Princess of the County insisted on leaving.
Lin Xiyuan was pulled out of the door reluctantly. Before he went out, he looked at Chu Jinyao, but Chu Jinyao was listening to the maid with a blank face and didn't notice him. Lin Xiyuan sighed deeply and went out with the princess.
Lin Xining accompanies his eldest brother to help, but he didn't say anything in his full name. Now that he was leaving, Lin Xining suddenly stopped and stared stubbornly at Chu Jinmiao.
"Four cousins."
"Um?"
"You really don't know these two people, and haven't seen them at all?"
Chu Jinmiao smiled calmly at Lin Xining: "Of course. Cousin, you have known me for so many years, yet you doubt me?"
Lin Xining twitched the corners of his lips strangely: "Yes, how can I doubt you. Even if I'm blind, I can't help but believe you."
Before Chu Jinmiao could think about what Lin Xining's words meant, she saw Lin Xining strode away. Chu Jinmiao called several times, but he didn't look back abnormally.
Chu Jinmiao did not take these to heart.
Mrs. Chu had no choice but to send Princess Princess away. When she came back, she sighed: "How come things are so good, why are there troubles." Thinking of the person who did the bad things, she almost gritted her teeth and asked, "What about that crazy woman?"
"While being detained, the old woman and her man shouted and yelled, saying that it was our Houfu that oppressed the good people, and that she was scolded by her daughter for Ansheng, and they dared not speak again."
Mrs. Chu sneered: "Who knows if their family is playing a black face and a red face, and sings a big show? Leave them alone, it's more important to be busy."
Mammy Gu gave a "hey" and then said, "Old Ancestor, their family is a peasant household, not a low-ranking family member. If we can get rid of them quickly, it will be fine if we can get rid of them as soon as possible, but the Ancestor is still busy with other things. I'm afraid they won't have time to pay attention to them. I'm afraid it's not right for us to detain them for too long."
Mrs. Chu was also worried after hearing it. She thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let them go home first. Line up and stare at them with sharp eyes. Don't let them sneak away."
Gu Mama responded and led the order down. The old lady Chu was worried about the affairs of the Huailing County Prince's Mansion. Today, Princess Princess's attitude is really subtle. She doesn't say what she says. She only says that she will go back and let the old princess call the shots. This makes the old lady Chu uncertain for a while, whether the palace does not mind today's affairs or not.
Mrs. Chu was sitting on the top of her head, and the other daughter-in-law and girls were standing below waiting. Madam Chu thought about it for a while, but she was still worried, and decided to go to the county palace in person. After making up her mind, Madam Chu's majestic gaze slowly swept across the people in the hall, and the people who were seen bowed their heads one by one. Mrs. Chu beat and said, "I don't have time for the past few days, and I don't have time to take care of you, but today whoever said or did, I will remember them one by one. I'll settle accounts with you one by one."
Mrs. Chu especially gave Chu Jinmiao a bad look: "You don't have to steal the fun, you think you can figure it out. Let me tell you the truth, as early as 40 years ago, when I was a girl, I played this game. Over the years, I've seen a lot of treacherous servants, restless aunties, and maidservants with a higher heart than the sky. If you want to rely on these to hide from me, it would be a big mistake. I will give it to you today. Remember, after a few days, I can find out who is involved in it, or who secretly pushes a hand!"
The girls bowed their heads respectfully, not daring to let out the air, and Yan Shi, who had been teasing, turned blue. Mrs. Chu seemed extremely tired, she waved her hand, and said to them, "Come down, let me be alone for a while."
Chu Jinyao responded and followed the sisters out. Although her face was snow-white, her demeanor was very calm. The third girl was gloating at the misfortune and wanted to pretend to comfort Chu Jinyao, but when she saw Chu Jinyao's expression, she couldn't say a word.
Chu Jinyao dismissed all the sisters and servants with different thoughts, and went out with Linglong and Kikyo. Zhao Shi met Chu Jinyao, but he hesitated: "Jinyao..."
Chu Jinyao stood up and asked calmly, "Mother, what did you call me?"
Zhao Shi hesitated for a long time, but couldn't say anything. She only learned today that the Su family is not a good thing, and she felt distressed and guilty for Chu Jinyao with hindsight. But in the face of Chu Jinyao's indifferent face, how could Zhao shi say reconciliation
Mrs. Zhao murmured for a long time, but still couldn't say anything. Chu Jinmiao saw it from a distance and immediately called Mrs. Zhao, "Mother, where are you?"
Zhao's words froze for a moment before he spoke. Chu Jinyao smiled lightly and said, "Mother, since you want to go, forget it. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later."
After speaking, she didn't wait for Zhao's reaction, turned her head and left.
Mammy Zhang followed Zhao's side and sighed when she saw this. People's hearts are all fleshy, not to mention the fifth girl, even her rough-skinned old woman, after this time and again, she should have a cold heart. Forget it, she won't persuade her any more in the future.
After Chu Jinyao said goodbye to the Zhao family, he walked quickly all the way to Chaoyun Courtyard, and Linglong and Kikyo also followed silently. As soon as he entered his room, cracks appeared on Chu Jinyao's indifferent face. She has always shown everyone an attitude that she is strong and that she doesn't care, but how can she not care
Chu Jinyao covered her face with her hands, and said to Linglong and the others, "I'm tired, I don't need you here, you go out."
Chu Jinyao's eyes were blocked by her fingers, and her eyes were reddish, making her unable to see what was going on outside. After Chu Jinyao spoke, the room was quiet, and there was no sound of anyone moving for a long time.
After a while, a line of clear tears leaked from the fingers. Chu Jinyao took a deep breath and said, "I thought that even if they didn't like me, but after living together for thirteen years, even a kitten and a puppy should have feelings for me, but they don't have feelings for me."
"Su's father and Su's mother are towards their own daughter, and my mother is reluctant to raise a girl who has been with her for thirteen years. They are all towards Chu Jinmiao, so what am I?"
When she said this, Chu Jinyao's voice was calm, if it weren't for her tears gurgling down, who would have heard that she was crying.
Kikyo was young and couldn't help crying after hearing this, Linglong was more serious and worried: "Girl, don't cry, because these people are not worth it, be careful that your eyes are uncomfortable."
Why didn't Chu Jinyao know this? She had long known that she was embarrassed in both families, so she told herself not to force it, as long as there was no expectation, she would not be disappointed. But she didn't expect that she didn't have any weight so far.
Linglong looked distressed, she was originally Madam Chu's person, and she was dispatched to Fifth Young Lady's side. But after being with Chu Jinyao for a long time, Linglong was slowly reluctant to get up. In addition, she was older than Chu Jinyao. In Linglong's heart, Chu Jinyao was just like her younger sister. Linglong thinks that the fifth girl is really a lovely girl. She always stands quietly when she sees people. She smiles sweetly at you when you look at it. Usually, she doesn't bother people as much as possible. What's the matter? I did it all by myself, how could there be Miss Qianjin's arrogance. Such a sensible and caring girl, how can no one hurt her
Linglong was sad and anxious, and wanted to persuade her again, but someone knocked on the door. Linglong knew that this was a reminder from someone outside, so she had to swallow her words, instructed Kikyo, and hurriedly opened the door and went out.
After a while, Linglong pushed open the door and came back: "Miss Five, the old lady just sent someone to inform you that she will be a guest at the palace of Huailing County in three days, so you can make preparations earlier."
Chu Jinyao's tears had been collected, only her eyes were red. She nodded like an obedient puppet and said, "I see."
On the other side, after Su Hui twisted her own father and mother back, she pulled her face down as soon as she closed the courtyard door: "I'll just say how you guys have been peaceful these few days, it turned out to be someone else's plan. If it wasn't I came back today to get something, and I don't know how long I'll be playing with you in the dark! You said, did you get instigated by someone when you went to Yaoyao today?"
Su's mother was scolded by her daughter's nose, her face was very ugly, she shouted: "You have a daughter's family, and they are already married. What do you do with these matters of your mother's family?"
Su Sheng also said: "That's right, this is not your family's business, you just need to keep your own duty."
Su Hui was so angry when she heard it, she picked up the broom from the corner and greeted Su Sheng: "You eat me and live with me, how dare you say such things now? I will kill you black-hearted ghosts! Conscience! Are they all eaten by dogs?"
After all, Su Hui was a junior, so she couldn't beat Su's father and Su's mother, so she vented her anger on Su Sheng, and scolded all three of them. Su's father listened to the slander, and Su's mother saw that Su Hui dared to hit her sweetheart, and she also rushed to grab Su Hui's hair. When Su Hui's husband, Butcher Zhang, saw it, he had a dark face and pushed Su's mother away.
"Will you try again?"
Mother Su was almost pushed to the ground, she felt a chill in her heart, and did not dare to go up and pull Su Hui again, so she could only stand aside and scolded angrily. After Su Hui let out a bad breath, she put her hands on her hips and asked Su mother angrily: "You just came to the city, and even the officials are terrified when they see it, how can you have the courage to go to other people's Hou's mansion to find trouble. I ask you, who are you? Didn't I listen to someone's instigation, so I ate the gall of a bear and a leopard, and went to embarrass Yaoyao?"
Mother Su denied, "No..."
"Did Chu Jinmiao secretly look for you?"
Su's mother suddenly heard Su Hui tell the truth, and the expression on her face changed greatly. When Su Hui saw it, she immediately knew that she had guessed correctly. She was so angry: "Do you know Chu Jinmiao, how can you help her to harm Yaoyao? Listen to what you have arranged, After all, she has been raised in front of you for thirteen years, how can you be so unconscionable?"
Father Su dismissed her: "She's not a girl from our family. We can give her food, which is already benevolent enough. But Miao'er is the bloodline of our serious Su family. How can this be compared?"
"I knew that it was Chu Jinmiao, the poisonous snake who came up with the idea. Are these words also what she asked you to say?"
Mother Su was very unhappy when she heard this: "That's your own sister, how could you say that to an outsider about your own sister?"
"I don't have a younger sister like her." Su Hui snorted, glanced at the sky, and said to herself, "The Xiu Zhuang should not be closed yet, so I'll go find shopkeeper Wei Xiao quickly."
When Mother Su heard this, she became anxious: "Are you going to harm your own people for the sake of an outsider?" Mother Su wanted to pull Su Hui, but was held up by Butcher Zhang. Su Hui took this opportunity and ran out quickly.
Xiu Zhuang had already locked the door. Wei Liang checked the doors and windows and was about to go home, but was stopped by Su Hui from a distance away. Su Hui ran to Wei Liang out of breath. Before she could say hello, she hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper Wei, I have something to tell you."
Wei Liang said, "Is there anything I must say now? The door is already called."
"No, it'll be too late tomorrow." Su Hui told Wei Liang what happened in the Hou's residence today, but she didn't care that she might offend Wei Liang if she told the truth, and begged, "Wei Xiaobao, my sister, the fifth girl of the Chu family, is really good. I'm wronged, I hope you can talk to the shopkeeper Wei, and let him say something to my sister to refute the rumor."
Wei Liang's eyes changed when he heard the fifth lady of Chu, and he was not in a hurry to go home, he simply turned his direction and said, "Miss Su, since you have already asked me, then I will speak for you. A word. Whether it will be successful or not depends on my father's intentions."
Su Hui was immediately grateful. It should also be because of their good luck. Wei Wu is still in the house today. Usually, he often goes out to run business, or go to other places to inspect the industry. Even Wei Liang may not see him once a month.
Wei Wu seemed to be busy with something. When he looked up and saw Wei Liang, he asked lightly, "What's wrong?"
Wei Liang knew that, regardless of Wei Wu's good-natured tone, if he couldn't say anything serious, he would definitely be scolded. Wei Liang lowered his head and said respectfully, "Father, it's the matter of the fifth girls of the Chu family."
Wei Wu's face turned ugly, and he waved Wei Liang down. Wei Liang didn't dare to be disobedient, and was about to go out with drooping eyebrows, but after taking two steps, he was called back by Wei Wu: "The fifth girl of the Chu family you said is the fifth young lady of the Marquis of Changxing?"
"Exactly."
Wei Wu put down the pen, and his face became strange. Wei Liang asked tentatively, "Father, the above has specially asked me several times. Look at us, do you use it to report this matter to the above?"
Wei Wu remembered Tang Xinyi's beating and Xiao Linzi's winking attitude, and finally Wei Wu said, "I think the Crown Prince is not ordinary to this woman. Report it up, it doesn't matter if it's his business, if we If we don’t report it, if we guess wrong, then this empress will blow the pillow wind, and it will be enough for us. Let’s be cautious, just in case. , I will talk to the master at my own discretion."
"Hey, yes."
Few people know that Wei Wu is the prince, just as very few people know that Wei Wu, who is so famous in the shopping mall that everyone has to call out "Master Wei" when everyone sees it, is actually a eunuch. Wei Liang was actually his adopted godson.
Wei Wu personally went to the border gate, and the carriage of Changxing Hou's mansion also drove towards the county and prince's mansion.
This year, the Marquis of Changxing and the Prince's Mansion of Huailing County have been in close contact with each other, and the carriages of the two families often move around.
The old princess has already agreed. This marriage, what should be known and should not be known, has all been guessed. At this juncture, there may be no change.
After Mrs. Chu and her party arrived at the palace, they were treated the same as before. The old lady Chu was calm and took her many granddaughters to find the old princess.
The old princess was still smiling. Mrs. Chu kept calm, and said to Chu Jinyao's juniors, "You little sisters are having a good time, we won't leave you anymore, go out and talk by yourself."
Chu Jinyao, the county magistrate and others then sat outside. After everyone had dispersed, Madam Chu asked the old princess, "Old in-laws, what did you say to me before, what do you say now?"
The old princess secretly scolded the old fox. The marriage between the two houses was originally mentioned by the old lady Chu, but now it is the old princess who said it first? The old princess laughed, ignoring Madam Chu's trap, and said in a detour: "The children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and we elders don't bother much. Yuaner is a promising child, and he has always let us worry less, so marriage matters. It is also up to him, we only have one request, that the daughter-in-law is filial and worry-free, and it is enough to be able to settle down and establish a family."
The old lady Chu frowned unconsciously, the old princess was secretly mocking the five girls in their family for not being filial, not someone who settled down in the family? Mrs. Chu sneered: "Everyone's elders look forward to their children being filial, and the girl's family has been talked about since childhood. However, it is easy to be filial and filial. You can do whatever the elders say. It's a pity that we grew up in the local area, but we elders have a heart of love and love, but if we can teach them for a while, can we teach them for a lifetime? They are accustomed to being obedient, and when the time comes, who will they listen to their relatives? If you love them, you will have a long-term plan for them, marry women and teach daughters, and always teach them to stand up."
Mrs. Chu's words had some meaning, and the old princess understood. She was saying that although their family Chu Jinyao was not obedient enough, she had the advantage of being strong-tempered. The old princess thinks it makes sense, and she also wants to teach her daughter like this, but she doesn't like that kind of big idea when it is replaced by a grandson's daughter-in-law.
The old princess felt that her home was the palace of the county king, and she would never lose a day in her life, so the daughter-in-law and the younger generation did not need to have their own ideas at all, just listen to the elders.
She liked Chu Jinyao in the past because Chu Jinyao was good-looking, easy to talk, and kind to the servants. For this reason, the old princess also used Chu Jinyao as a model for the county owner. But a few days ago, she heard Princess Princess say that the fifth girl was very tough in her own family, and even dared to question her adoptive parents and adoptive mothers in front of everyone. Their county palace is not a place to listen to slander, the old princess didn't really believe what Su mother said, but Chu Jinyao questioned Su's father and Su mother's words, but the old princess hesitated.
How can you even dare to accuse your adoptive parents of being unfair to you? How dare the juniors dare to challenge the elders
The old princess laughed for a while, but they were men, and they always had to be half their heads short. Even if they just sent a letter, they couldn't change their words rashly before they said anything. For the sake of the reputation of the county palace and Lin Xiyuan, the old princess took a half step back and said, "I really like the five girls. We mentioned this before, and now it's not good to pretend that it never happened. In my opinion, it's the same. Leave the five girls behind and marry them as side concubines as a courtesy."
