The eldest lady said: "That's right, once Princess Ji was unwilling and forced her to die; the second time... it was Grandma who went to find the chief assistant to stop the matter. But Grandma, you
Don’t get me wrong, I definitely don’t blame you for what I said, it’s just that, I’ll make it clear to you.”
Aunt Xi said: "Yes, I stopped you the second time. Why did I stop you? I didn't want the two families to get into trouble. I don't know what the eldest lady thinks of Chu Shoufu's current status in the court.
If he turns his hand to make clouds and rain, after all, he is just one of the officials of the imperial court. He is a minister of the emperor. He can never go against the imperial family when he serves the people. Your Chu family's honor, favor and wealth are all given by the emperor.
Yes, all the contributions from the people are indispensable. Over the years, I have seen that Chu Shoufu has tried his best to restrain himself, just because he did not want his subordinates to be too domineering and fall into the crime of being a master of great achievements. But he probably did not expect that he
These people below actually think that he is already a one-time overlord and can go beyond the royal family. If the eldest lady does not change your mind, sooner or later it will bring disaster to the Chu family."
Mrs. Chu was a little annoyed, "If Auntie Xi is not willing to help, just say it. This is so arrogant and domineering and will bring disaster. I don't know what the motives are."
Aunt Xi said coldly: "What's your intention? It's not to harm your Chu family after all." After saying that, she stood up and left.
Mrs. Chu endured it and said, "It's because I don't know what's good and what's good. Thank you very much for your kindness. Mother, please don't leave in a hurry. Sit down and have a cup of tea first."
Aunt Xi waved her hands and said, "I can't help you with your busy schedule, so there's no need to say anything."
Mrs. Chu took out a stack of silver notes from her sleeve pocket and placed it on the table, "This is for grandma to have tea. You can take it first, and I will give you double the amount after the matter is completed."
Mammy didn't look at it carefully, but the thickness and denomination of the stack of banknotes revealed that it exceeded ten thousand taels.
She sighed and looked at Mrs. Chu, "I understand the painstaking efforts you put into being a mother, but please weigh it. Did letting the second lady marry into the Prince of Chu's palace to save her or harm her? That day, the King of Chu
Come on, how you treat the second young lady. Although you haven't witnessed it with your own eyes, you must have heard about it afterwards. The King of Chu hates the second young lady. If the second young lady marries him, there will be no happiness at all."
"This is all temporary. When Princess Chu married her, didn't King Chu treat her very badly? I heard he even used a stick on her," Mrs. Chu said.
"Yes, it was indeed not good at the beginning, but don't forget that Princess Yuchu first treated the Supreme Emperor, and then saved the prince's life. Now she is pregnant. King Chu looks at her differently. There is a reason for that.
Do you think, in this situation, what should the second lady do to make King Chu change his mind and be attracted to her?"
Mrs. Chu naturally knew that, but with the Chu family's prestige and power here, even if King Chu didn't want to see Yang'er, he wouldn't dare to go too far.
Therefore, she said: "Auntie Xi, don't worry about this. Just tell me whether you are willing to help."
Aunt Xi shook her head, "I'm sorry, please ask someone else to help you with this."
Mrs. Chu saw that she was too weak, so she said coldly: "Presumably, Aunt Xi doesn't want people to know about your past affairs with the chief minister."
Aunt Xi's eyes widened, "What do you mean?"
Mrs. Chu looked at her with cold eyes, "It's not interesting, I just hope that Auntie Xi will be considerate of a mother's feelings. I can't just watch my daughter die of hunger strike, so Aunty, you can do whatever you want. If
If you don’t help me, I will have no choice but to make the matter between you and my father-in-law public. This matter will not harm a man’s reputation, but I’m afraid it will ruin your reputation for the rest of your life, grandma.”
Aunt Xi said angrily: "It's a good idea to be polite first and then attack. If I don't agree to it, will you deal with me?"
"Not to mention dealing with it, everything is out of necessity." Mrs. Chu said with a cold face.
