Chapter 217 Going to find Chu Shoufu

Chu Mingyang also responded with a faint tone, "Friendship? Bah, just a slave."

Chu Mingcui didn't like her tone, so she stopped talking. The two sisters left the palace and returned to their parents' home.

Back at Chu Mansion, Chu Mingyang ignored Chu Mingcui and went back to the house.

Chu Mingcui went to visit her grandmother. The first assistant's wife had not recovered since she lost her voice in the last "accident".

The first assistant's wife naturally knew that there was only one person in this house who could drug her.

She became more law-abiding and her life as a couple was about to end, and she knew all too well how cruel he was.

For the sake of what he cares about, he can deny his relatives.

When she heard what Chu Mingcui said about her encounter with Grandma Xi today, she felt frightened and shook her head at Chu Mingcui, signaling not to mess with that woman.

Chu Mingcui said softly: "My granddaughter knows, but Mingyang doesn't take her seriously."

The first assistant's wife smiled sadly and shook her head.

In the evening, Chu Shoufu returned to his house. He was used to eating alone. As soon as he asked someone to place the dishes in the house, he heard a servant come in and report, "Master, a person who calls herself Aunt Xi is here and wants to see you."

.”

Chu Shoufu raised his head, his eyes a little dazed, "Auntie Xi?"

"As far as I'm concerned, sir, yes," the servant said.

Chu Shoufu's absence lasted only for a moment, and he immediately returned to normal, "Invite her in."

"Yes!" The servant took the order and left.

Chu Shou asked the old steward who was waiting beside him, "What do you think she is here for?"

The old steward bowed and said, "I dare not speculate."

Chu Shoufu said calmly: "I'm afraid it's for Princess Chu."

The old steward responded, also a little stunned.

The servants led Nanny Xi in

, then bowed and left.

Chu Shoufu stood up, and Grandma Xi slowly crossed the threshold and came in.

"I've met Mr. Chief Assistant!" Aunt Xi saluted.

Chu Shoufu said softly: "No need to be polite, sit down!"

Grandma Xi saw the food on the table, "You haven't eaten yet?"

"We're just about to use it." Chu Shoufu invited, "How about we come together?"

Grandma Xi walked over, took two light dishes and one soup, and said to his thin and gaunt face: "You should eat better."

"Just a simple meal," Chu Shoufu said.

Grandma Xi turned her head. When she came, she had already thought of her words, but she didn't know how to speak.

The old steward stepped forward and said, "Sister Xi'er, long time no see."

"Plowshare, long time no see." Nanny Xi asked the old steward, "How are you?"

"Okay, okay, everything is fine!" the old steward said with a smile, "It's just that it seems that not long after, we are all old."

Aunt Xi nodded silently, yes, in the blink of an eye, she became old.

The old steward bowed and left, leaving Chu Shoufu and Aunt Xi alone in the room.

Chu Shoufu had already sat down and asked her, "Sit down and talk."

Grandma Xi shook her head, cleared her mind, and said sternly to him: "Last time, you asked me to drug the Supreme Emperor, and I did as you asked. What I owe you has been paid off."

Chu Shoufu did not explain that this was Chu Mingcui's intention, not his. He even learned about it after the fact.

He said: "You don't owe me anything."

Aunt Xi smiled sadly, "I don't know, I owe it to you.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t owe anything, everything will be settled after all.”

Chu Shou assisted her, "Is that why you came here to say this to me?"

grandma

Grandma shook her head and asked: "Why do you have to marry Chu Mingyang to the King of Chu?"

Chu Shou assisted her, "Why are you helping Princess Chu? You have never come to see me in these years. I don't think you are just treating her as her master. I want to hear the truth."

Chu Shoufu was very disappointed, "Aren't you even willing to give me an answer?"

But what she said was a sincere advice, reminder, and warning.

Chu Shou followed her back and disappeared into the dusk, sighing softly.

She doesn't speak.

But he also defended a little, saying: "In these years, I have not been arrogant and domineering, nor unscrupulous. Even as I get older, I have become more reserved and calm. I thought you were watching."

Does Princess Chu understand her? If she doesn’t say it, no one will understand it, but if she says it, won’t he understand it? s11();

"This is indeed my idea. I have my own reasons for doing this." Chu Shoufu said.

After Grandma Xi finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Aunt Xi still lowered her eyebrows and said nothing, but her heart was hit hard by something, making her sore and painful.

Aunt Xi was very frank, "Two reasons. First, she saved my life. The Supreme Emperor knew about my drugging, so she saved me. The second reason..."

She didn't know what to say, and after thinking for a long time, she spoke slowly under the gaze of his eyes, "That's good. I live my life in the palace, and you make achievements outside the palace, have wives and concubines, and have children and grandchildren."

The whole house is full, and we can all die a happy death, which is the best outcome."

When Grandma Xi thought about the past, she also had a lot of thoughts, "What I want, speaking out in my capacity is already a big sin. Who in the world understands? Probably the only one is Princess Chu. Forget it, I'm leaving. I hope you can return the favor."

Let Princess Chu and the others be in peace so that she can have a good pregnancy and have a good pregnancy."

"Now that things have happened, you and I are both gray-haired. I only want to tell the truth. Why didn't you want to believe me in the first place?" Chu asked, helping her.

If anyone else said this last sentence, Chu Shoufu would definitely be furious.

Chu was assisting her, the sharp light in his eyes gradually disappeared, and a sadness lingered on his face.

Aunt Xi said: "But your descendants are not. Relying on your authority and power, they have begun to challenge the royal rules. I remember your mother said something to me before. Now I will give it back to you. The bottom line can never be crossed.

, cross the bottom line, and it’s an abyss.”

He hesitated for a long time, then slowly stood up and said coldly: "Here, call the second lady over."

I'm afraid he will never know the real answer in his lifetime.

Grandma Xi raised her head, and the look in his eyes was still serious, just like before.

"So, your statement that you were unwilling to marry me in order to serve the Supreme Emperor was just an excuse." Chu Shoufu said.

He sighed deeply, his eyes filled with sadness, and he looked at him and said: "The King of Chu does not want to marry his concubine. He wants to be with the princess forever. I want to complete this relationship, which is something I can't get in this life."

thing."

Aunt Xi sternly said: "You can go against other people's wishes if you have intentions? The King of Chu is not willing to marry Chu Mingyang as his concubine, and the Princess of Chu will not agree, so why do you force others to make things difficult? Today in the palace, your granddaughter Chu Mingyang said to the Princess

The rude words made the princess become pregnant. I know that your Chu family has been at the height of their power these years and is unscrupulous towards everyone. Even if the princess is pregnant, she will only get a few scoldings at most. However, the prosperity of the Chu family must decline. Today's Chu family

Being arrogant will cause great disaster for your Chu family."

she

Chu Shoufu smiled, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, "Chu Mingcui went to find you and asked you to drug the Supreme Emperor. Although I was furious, I was actually secretly happy. At that moment, I knew what price you were willing to pay for me.
