The people who were waiting for Chen Mo followed Chen Mo back to the courtyard. They found this man more and more incredible. Not only did the young master of the family call him brother and sister, but even the empress treated him very casually. Casualness meant that they were very familiar with each other and there would be no such thing as hypocrisy.
Polite.
Some of the servants had some understanding of the empress's temperament, after all, they had lived together.
lobby.
The Wu family was sitting in the hall, Wu Ling'er and Wu Kou were sitting in the main seats, while the elders were sitting in the guest seats.
"Mother, why are you back today free?" The men who looked similar to each other said with a harmonious smile.
"I heard there was chaos at home, so I came back to take a look." Wu Ling'er wore a veil, but her cold tone still couldn't be blocked.
"It's nothing." The man waved his hand and said, "Everything is fine at home, so there is no need for my wife to worry."
"Fourth uncle, I asked you to come back and live here for the sake of the warrior. Of course, let me tell you straight. You must have asked for this from the warrior's mother. It doesn't matter to me.
, you can live here if you want, the house is big anyway, and the warriors don’t have wives, so they can live wherever they want.”
"Sister~" Wukou reminded from the side, don't use him as an excuse.
The woman who had eaten with Chen Mo was sitting at the bottom with her head bowed, not daring to look directly into Wu Ling'er's eyes.
"But don't forget who is the master of Wu Mansion."
Everyone in the hall was so suppressed by Wu Ling'er's momentum that they did not dare to raise their heads.
Wu Feifei, the eldest lady with a bad temper, couldn't sit still, but she didn't dare to contradict Wu Ling'er, but said calmly: "Now my brother Wu Kou is in charge."
"Oh? Your brother? Now you know he is your brother? Apart from the fact that he has the same father as you, what qualifications do you have to call him brother? Don't mention to me the ridiculous phrase "blood is thicker than water". When he was here
What was your family like back then? You won’t forget it, right?”
After being told this, several people who had been silent at first did not dare to speak.
"Okay, I didn't tell you this when I came back today." Wu Ling'er turned to look at Wu Kou: "You are the head of the family, and you can manage the military camp affairs well, let alone the family affairs."
As he said this, Wu Ling'er stood up and walked towards the door. Passing by Wu Kou's father, who he called Fourth Uncle, he said softly: "Fourth Uncle, you have an illegitimate child outside. He is exactly two years old.
, it’s been two years since my fourth uncle entered the Wu Mansion, what a coincidence.”
Wu Ling'er's words attracted the attention of the woman sitting next to her fourth uncle, Wu Feifei's mother.
"Why, the fourth aunt doesn't know about this?" Wu Ling'er looked at their reactions, ignored them, and left the hall where the atmosphere was a bit subtle.
After Wu Ling'er left, Wu Kou glanced at the family of three over there. Without saying anything to them, he came to his mother and helped her leave.
After Wu Ling'er and Wu Kou left, the fourth aunt looked at her husband coldly, like the calm before the storm.
"Mom, my daughter, please leave for a moment." Wu Feifei stood up and said. "I have something important to say to Wu Kou."
After saying that, Wu Feifei also left, as if she was avoiding the storm. She couldn't get involved in the affairs between them. Besides, her father was indeed unreasonable and secretly stole women behind her mother's back. This was not the last thing.
The fatal thing, the most fatal thing is that she has a child, and she is still with her son.
At that time, because my father was stealing women outside and my mother discovered it, there was a big fuss. The unhappy father forced a maid in the family to have sex with the overlord. Moreover, this maid was also my mother's personal maid. The most disgusting thing is that
I have a child, a boy.
Now it's the same mistake again.
Before the fourth aunt could say anything, the fourth uncle spoke first: "Qiufen, listen to me, I can explain."
"Did the vixen seduce you again?"
"No, it's not..."
...
Wu Feifei walked out of the hall, caught up with Wukou, and called out to him: "Wukou, I have something to tell you."
Wu Kou stopped, put his mother's hand on a maid, and said to her: "You take your wife to play back first."
"Yes." The maid nodded and agreed softly.
There were only two siblings left in the corridor.
"What's up?"
"Wu Kou, we did have things wrong in the past, but that's all in the past. We are siblings, real siblings. You won't really just glance at us, will you?" Wu Feifei said in an emotional voice.
"Then it's up to you." Wu Kou said calmly. Even though they lived under the same roof, they didn't have much to say between them.
Wu Kou turned around and left, unmoved by her emotional cards.
"Wu Kou." Wu Feifei shouted to his back again: "Are you just willing to be a puppet? Wu Ling'er has great ambitions. She just hates that she can't be a queen and can only be a empress.
So to settle for the second best, she wants to be the master of the Wu family. This is simply wishful thinking. Just imagine any aristocratic family where a woman is in charge."
Wu Kou stopped again and took a long step to reach Wu Feifei. Because he was more than a head taller than Wu Feifei, he lowered his head and looked down at her.
"What...what are you doing?" Wu Feifei subconsciously clutched her collar, as if she was afraid that the military might molest her.
"Haha." Wu Kou sneered: "I'm not that kind of beast."
Wu Feifei does have a bit of beauty, otherwise she would not be attracted by a young master of the Wei family. Of course, there are other reasons for this. Junqu Pavilion
"You don't need to worry about my sister. Even if I'm just a puppet, I'm happy to do it. And what qualifications do you have to reason with me? Just like my sister said, just based on that ridiculous blood relationship? How did you treat me back then?
Didn't I think about this when I was young? When it comes to blood ties, my sister and I also have the same great-great-grandfather. Our blood ties are a bit better than yours, but they treat me much better."
"If my mother hadn't been soft-hearted, or if you had given him some ecstasy, do you think you could live here? In the years I have been in Wu Mansion, have you ever thought about me? No, I don't want you to think about me, but have you ever thought about me?
Mother? After my father passes away and I become the head of the family, you immediately give me the title of mother. You don’t have to be blind to know what you are going to do.”
The father that Wukou mentioned was not his biological father. He had only called "Dad" once when he was very young, but never the second time.
"Let me remind you, don't talk about my sister behind her back, otherwise you will be miserable. You don't care about people's feelings. I care about people's feelings. But this is the only time. Don't think that I don't know what you said to Wei.
What's going on? If you still want to live a stable life, you'd better marry him as soon as possible, otherwise you won't have this opportunity in the future."
After saying that, Wu Kou turned around and left again.
Wu Feifei looked at Wukou's leaving figure with a pale face. Wukou's "my sister" before was like a knife cutting her body. He had never called her sister before, just like
He never called him "brother" when he was a child.
"By the way, there is one more thing." Wu Kou did not turn around this time, but turned his back to her and said, "Don't disturb my guest. He is much more important than you. If he has any objections to you, I will not do anything about it."
Without hesitation, he will let you disappear in front of him regardless of right or wrong."
Wu Feifei, who was originally livid, suddenly turned pale. She felt an aura from Wukou's body that she had never felt before. This aura made her feel that what Wukou said before was neither an angry comment nor a joke.
Wu Feifei passed by the front hall in a dark and dull manner. There was no sound of their parents quarreling in the front hall. Maybe they had already quarreled.
"Fei'er, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly. Did that boy Wukou bully you? Did he forget that you are his sister just for the sake of this so-called sister?" The fourth aunt looked abnormally from the hall.
Wu Feifei walked out in a hurry, while her husband, the fourth uncle, took the opportunity to sneak out from the side.
"It's okay, I just suddenly felt unwell." Wu Feifei still wanted to cry in her mother's arms, but when she thought of Wu Kou's attitude behind her, she had to hold back and find another excuse.
"Are you hungry? Let's go. Mom will take you to eat." The fourth aunt pulled Wu Feifei and walked towards the dining hall. It was originally a restaurant, but after the subtle atmosphere in the front hall, no one mentioned eating and they dispersed.
.
"Don't eat, mother, my daughter wants to take a rest." Wu Feifei declined.
"Are you really sick? Let me take a look at it." After saying that, the fourth aunt touched her head with her hand, looking doting on her.
"No." The fourth aunt didn't feel any abnormality in body temperature. "No, I still have to hire a doctor for you."
"Come here, bring the doctor."
.....
Wu Ling'er did not go to Chen Mo immediately, but first went to a relatively back place in Wu Mansion. There was an attic that was usually cleaned by specific personnel. Except for cleaning and certain times, the door of the attic was open.
It's usually closed.
The door to the first floor of the attic is open at this time. Looking from the outside, you can see several tablets placed on the table inside.
Wu Ling'er was alone inside at this time, and her entourage was waiting outside.
"Master Wu Kou."
When Wukou appeared in front of the attic, Wu Ling'er's attendants called him, unlike the servants in the Wu Mansion who called Wukou the young master of the family.
"No need, no need." Wu Kou waved to them and walked straight into the attic.
At this time, Wu Ling'er had just finished incense on these tablets. The names of the tablets were different, and the farewell positions were also different. Although they were few, they were very particular. They all had the same surname: Wu.
"Is it a bit difficult for you to be the head of this family?" Wu Ling'er asked, clasping his hands together and looking at the tablet in front of him.
"If you say it's not difficult, that's definitely a lie. Since my sister asked me to do it, I will do it, and I will do it well."
"So are you ready now?"
"Hehe, come on, come on. After all, they all have the surname Wu. We can't kick them casually. The important thing when leading troops in war is to have a good reputation as a division. Didn't I say that reputation sometimes comes into play?"
"It's not appropriate to apply your teacher's reputation to you."
"Sister, don't worry about these trivial matters." Wu Kou smiled awkwardly.
