"I don't dare! I, I have always acted according to your instructions, eldest lady, and I never dare to make my own decisions!"
Chu Jin suppressed the anxiety in his heart and quickly licked his face and smiled to express his loyalty.
He Tiantian looked unconcerned, as if she didn't care what Chu Jin said.
She glanced at Chu Jin and said nothing, but the look in her eyes was too obvious, as if to say——
Whether you have made your own decision or not, you know it in your heart.
I am willful and arrogant, but I am not stupid!
Chu Jin's heart was shocked, and he felt that the hairs on his back stood up.
When did this idiot Chu Baozhu have such a shocking look in his eyes?
But soon, Chu Jin realized that Chu Baozhu was not the only daughter of the Chu family head. She also lost her biological mother long ago.
The head of the Chu family soon remarried, and there were many stepwives and concubines in the house. Stepdaughters, concubines, and legitimate daughters from the stepmother could all stand in a row.
Among so many sisters, Chu Baozhu can become the most beloved daughter of the Chu family head.
This is definitely not because the Chu family leader misses his old relationship, but because he misses and loves his original wife so much that he loves Wujiwu's only daughter left by his original wife.
Bullshit old relationship!
Not even a month after the death of his first wife, the head of the Chu family remarried.
Tell me, how much "true love" does he have for his first wife?!
Therefore, there must be other reasons for Chu Baozhu's favor.
Being able to prosper in the huge Chu family, even her stepmother, half-sister, and half-sister cannot bully or exclude her...
Chu Jin suddenly realized that his past understanding of Chu Baozhu was too shallow.
This eldest lady is definitely not as stupid as she appears!
Also, in the inner courtyard of a wealthy family like the Chu family, anyone who can survive with all his hair and tail will not be a fool.
Chu Baozhu, maybe she is not stupid, but also very smart!
What a fool!
A villain like Chu Jin likes to make secret guesses the most.
He was left thinking wildly, and suddenly he felt that he had made a mistake.
Not only is Chu Baozhu not a fool, she may also be a woman with a lot of talent and scheming!
As for why she targeted Su Hao like that before, it's easy to understand.
There is no way, the Su family has fallen.
The Su and Chu families have a marriage contract, and Chu Baozhu is Su Hao's fiancée.
The kind that have written marriage letters and exchanged tokens.
If nothing happens to the Su family, Chu Baozhu will happily marry into the Su family and become the eldest mistress as agreed.
However, the Su family was brutally wiped out overnight, with more than a hundred members of the family except Su Hao and his sister who escaped because they were temporarily out of town.
Those gangsters killed people, but if that wasn't enough, they set another fire.
Therefore, when the Su Hao brothers returned from the outskirts of the city, what they saw was devastation and ashes everywhere.
Everyone was burned to ashes, and it was impossible to tell who was who.
Brother and sister Su Hao were so sad that they wished they could cry to death on the spot.
Su Hao is older and more rational.
He suppressed his grief and heard what happened last night from his neighbors.
When I found out that some bad guys had destroyed the Su family and set fire to destroy the corpses, I was so angry that my whole body was shaking and my lips were bitten.
He knew that those villains must be after the Su family's heirloom.
And they probably didn't find it.
Because the heirloom was not hidden in the Su family, but in a secret place known only to the head of the Su family, Su Hao and his son.
The gangsters couldn't find the treasure. If they knew that the Su family had someone slipping through the net (that is, Su Hao), they would definitely not let it go easily.
After thinking for a while, Su Hao hurriedly buried the whole family, and then took his sister to join the Chu family.
He is not here to force the Chu family to fulfill their engagement.
Because Su Hao knew very well that now his family was ruined and even his ancestral home was burned to the ground.
He is only better than the beggar.
How could he be worthy of the eldest daughter of the Chu family, the number one family in Qizhou?
Su Hao, who also comes from a famous family, knows best the principle of "matching the right family". In the past, the Su family was as famous as the Chu family in the martial arts family.
The marriage between the two families is definitely a strong alliance and couldn't be more suitable.
What now--
Su Hao didn't dare to expect the Chu family to fulfill their engagement.
Although he is young, only fifteen years old, because he is the young master of the family, he has been raised by his father by his side since he was a child.
Su Hao himself is very smart, and he has the words and deeds of his biological father to teach him, so he has maturity and sobriety beyond his years.
In order to gain the protection of the Chu family, he took the initiative to cancel the engagement and save the Chu family from becoming a "treacherous" villain.
Su Hao lived a clear life, and the head of the Chu family was not a fool either.
Su Hao's initiative to break off the engagement can indeed prevent the Chu family from being criticized.
But, it’s not very kind after all.
The Su family was defeated, and the Chu family became the largest martial arts family in Qizhou.
And people, after reaching a certain status, want a better reputation in order to obtain a higher status.
The head of the Chu family has an ambition to become the leader of the martial arts alliance.
Therefore, his reputation, and that of the entire Chu family, cannot have any flaws.
Of course, you can also say that the head of the Chu family is really kind and righteous, and is not at all a despicable person who dislikes poverty and loves wealth.
Anyway, no matter what the reason was, when faced with Su Hao's proposal to break off the engagement, the head of the Chu family refused forcefully.
He said with great justice, "My dear nephew, your father and I have known each other for many years, and the Chu and Su families have been close friends for generations."
"Your marriage to Baozhu has been agreed upon by your father and I a long time ago. Although we haven't finally gotten married yet, I have already regarded you as my son-in-law!"
"Now, the Su family has undergone a sudden change, and you are the only male left. There are enemies watching in the dark, so you don't want to involve the treasure."
"But, dear nephew, I can't be sorry to your father, let alone betray my promise!"
"Besides, if you marry Baozhu, you can legitimately accept the protection of the Chu family, and you and An Nuan can have a place to live and settle down!"
"...Also, if I agree to your request to break off the engagement, although our Chu family is not at fault, we are still not affectionate and righteous enough. My dear nephew, you must not trap me or the Chu family in an unkind and unjust situation!"
The head of the Chu family has said everything. If Su Hao still insists on breaking off the engagement, then he is deliberately stepping on the Chu family to gain fame.
Su Hao is so smart. The key is that he still wants to rely on the Chu family to give him some time to breathe.
After careful consideration, Su Hao had no choice but to agree.
The head of the Chu family was immediately overjoyed and explained on the spot, "Young Master Su is the eldest uncle of our Chu family. All food and clothing expenses are the same as those of the eldest lady and the sixth young master. As soon as the filial piety period is over, we will hold a happy event."
The eldest lady mentioned by the head of the Chu family is naturally Chu Baozhu.
She is the most favored in the Chu family, and her treatment is naturally the best.
Second only to her is the Sixth Young Master, the son of the Chu family head’s step-sibling Xue Shi.
He is also the only legitimate son in the Chu family's name, so his status and status are naturally different.
Of course, compared with the eldest lady Chu Baozhu, she is still slightly inferior.
There is no way, who knows that Chu Baozhu is the daughter of his first wife, and the first wife of the Chu family head is named Cheng, and she is the biological sister of Cheng Wubing, the first genius doctor in the martial arts world.
Doctor Cheng, a strange man who lived and died with human flesh and white bones. I heard that there were gods in his ancestors, and his status was extraordinary.
As his only biological sister, Cheng is naturally quite decent.
Unfortunately, the beauty was ill-fated and encountered difficulties during the delivery. Doctor Cheng received the news and rushed over quickly, but he was still a step late.
The younger sister left, leaving only a thin and small baby girl. Doctor Cheng directly regarded this child as his only comfort.
If the head of the Chu family hadn't still had the brains to insist on keeping Chu Baozhu in the Chu family, and also vowed to take care of Chu Baozhu as if he were his eyeballs and his lifeblood, Doctor Cheng would have taken the child away on the spot.
In the following ten years, the head of the Chu family really loved Chu Baozhu very much, and he was obedient and responsive to all requests.
He pampered her so much that she became lawless and acted arbitrarily.
He Tiantian: ...It’s just to flatter and kill, just to raise a good child to be vicious and stupid!
Ahem, I haven't been so mean in a long time.
In fact, He Tiantian is a little "excited" to be dressed as a vicious villain again this time...
