Chapter 77
The anger on Chu Shoufu's face slowly faded. He sat on the chair of the Grand Master, but his expression was gloomy. "This is the last chance. If you don't say it, you'd better not do this Princess Qi. There are obedient girls in the Chu family."
"Grandfather, you heard from your granddaughter that your granddaughter did not mean to..." She cried. Tears slid from the corners of her eyes and her face was so pitiful that she couldn't say anything. Anyone who saw such a sad feeling would be soft.
It’s a pity. Shoufu Chu obviously doesn’t. He never believes in tears.
"Put your tears and get out!" he said coldly.
Chu Mingcui finally showed a look of fear and regret on her face. She said anxiously: "Grandfather. I was wrong, it was me who was wrong. I shouldn't have used Madam Xi's friendship with you. It was indeed my granddaughter who asked her to poison the Supreme Emperor's medicine. My granddaughter was just afraid that the Supreme Emperor would get better. The King of Chu would gain power again, and his granddaughter was also considering the overall situation."
"How do you know the relationship between Madam Xi and me?" Shoufu Chu's voice was dark and cold. He was also immersed in Xiao Sha's gloom.
Chu Mingcui had never seen such a terrible expression on her grandfather's face. She was so scared that her lips trembled and she said everything, "It was my grandmother's words. This was also instructed by my grandmother. She said that Madam Xi had let you down. As long as it was your intention, Madam Xi lost her life and was willing to do it for you. Her granddaughter didn't believe it, but as soon as I told Madam Xi like this, she agreed."
After saying that, she hurriedly said, "Grandfather, Madam Xi will never tell you about the murder of the Supreme Emperor, and will not give you up. Don't worry."
Chu Shoufu closed his eyes, his whole face looked like a slight expression, as if he was like a wooden man.
Chu Mingcui was uneasy and was snuggling a handkerchief, not knowing what to do.
After a long time, the Master Chu opened his eyes, and his eyes were peaceful. "What do you think about the King of Chu's intention to marry your sister as his concubine?"
Chu Mingcui said anxiously: "Grandfather, this matter must not be done."
"Why not?" Chu Shoufu asked coldly.
Chu Mingcui stammered for a moment, "My sister is the daughter of the legitimate child, how can she be a concubine?"
"When I say that I can ask Yuan Qingling to come out of the hall to beg, your sister will be the official concubine by then."
Chu Mingcui was shocked, "Jing Waiting to Say That?"
"However, the Princess Chu objected, and the Emperor said he respected the Princess Chu's meaning, so the matter between your sister and the King of Chu was given up."
Chu Mingcui breathed a sigh of relief, "That's impossible. At this critical moment, it's better to have less things than to have more things."
Shoufu Chu said lightly: "That's right, so I decided that your sister would serve the King of Qi with you."
"What?" Chu Mingcui fell to the ground, his face as if dead.
She quickly knelt up and said firmly: "No, grandfather, Yuan Qingling will agree, and she cannot tolerate disagreement. Her granddaughter promised that the King of Chu could definitely marry his sister as his concubine."
Shoufu Chu said expressionlessly: "This is your last chance. No matter what method you use, you must be clean and neat. Of course, I hope everyone will be happy. If you can't handle it well or cause trouble, you, the position of Princess Qi, give in."
In other words, he hoped that Yuan Qingling would voluntarily withdraw, and if he really did, he would have to leave no trace.
Chu Mingcui said calmly: "Don't worry, grandfather, granddaughter will definitely do it."
As the assistant Chu raised his hand, his face looked tired, "Go."
"The granddaughter leaves!" Chu Mingcuifu leaves.
As soon as Chu Mingcui left, Chu Shoufu sent someone in and said lightly: "I don't want to hear anyone telling Xiaoxi again. I'll send a bowl of medicine to the old lady."
It was a tall old man with a clear face. After hearing this, he lowered his eyes, "Where is the princess?"
"She is a smart person. When she sees her grandmother's fate, she will close her mouth tightly." Chu Shoufu closed his eyes and took away the murderous aura in his eyes.
Chu Mingcui left the study room and did not leave immediately, but went to his sister Chu Mingyang's house.
Chu Mingyang's appearance was very similar to Chu Mingcui, but Chu Mingyang was more arrogant than Chu Mingcui's calmness and tolerance.
When Chu Mingyang was born, his grandfather happened to be cured of illness and was promoted. Therefore, Chu Mingyang was favored since childhood, and his favor was no less than that of the brother born in the mansion.
Chu Mingcui even suspected that his grandfather had never thought of letting his sister be the concubine of the King of Chu at the beginning. If his sister married into the King of Chu's mansion, the position of the princess would be obtained sooner or later.
Therefore, she must not let Chu Mingyang marry King Qi as her concubine, which directly threatened her position as the official concubine. Her grandfather valued her because she was calm and now she had caused trouble. It is difficult for her grandfather to abandon her.
Thinking of this, she became more and more worried, but when she saw Chu Mingyang, she still raised her elder sister's warm smile.
"Sister," Chu Mingyang was very happy to see her come back. He walked in with her arm in his arms. His pretty face flushed. He thought he hadn't settled down in the house just now, "Show you my new stuff."
Chu Mingcui smelled a trace of blood. She had always known her love for her sister, but she was afraid that she would not know who tormented this time.
Sure enough, after being pulled in, I 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 clear water.
The girl saw someone coming, and moved a little. Unexpectedly, a few drops of water sprinkled. Chu Mingyang picked up the whip on the table and whipped it over, shouting, "Kneel!"
The girl was in pain and slowly knelt straight. Her face turned red and tears were in her eyes, so she didn't dare to fall.
There were already a few broken bowls on the ground, and they were all wet. It seemed that they had suffered a lot just now and there were a few whip marks on their faces.
"Is it fun?" Chu Mingyang looked at Chu Mingcui with a pleasing look and showed off proudly.
Chu Mingcui said docilely: "If you think it's fun, it's all."
Chu Mingyang sat down and threw the whip, "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 a general amnesty, and quickly took off the bowl and went out with a blessed body.
The other maids quickly packed up the place, served tea and snacks, and then closed the door and let the sisters talk.
Chu Mingcui thought about it for a while before asking with a smile: "Second sister, grandfather is going to discuss a kiss for you, do you know?"
"I know!" Chu Mingyang's pretty face turned cold, "But I don't want to get married so early."
"No one can disobey grandfather's words." Chu Mingcui sighed softly, "Why is sister willing to marry early? She is eager to spend more time with her grandmother. She is Mingzhu at home, but she can marry someone else's home..."
"What do you mean? Is my brother-in-law not good to my sister? I think my brother-in-law is very good to my sister. Every time my sister comes back, he will accompany you." Chu Mingyang asked with his ears raised.
Chu Mingcui smiled bitterly, "That's all superficial, but as a royal daughter-in-law, you can't be really comfortable? There are many rules in the mansion, and there are censors staring at it. If you have any inappropriate behavior, you will immediately report to the palace. The empress dowager will arrive immediately after he scolds her."
Chu Mingyang was startled, "Is it so strict?"
"No? I can't tell my grandfather after suffering, that my grandfather can't interfere with the royal family affairs."
