The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reached a consensus and got along quite happily, even Mr. Liao couldn't cause any trouble.
In the afternoon, as soon as Chen Yuanlue came back, he was invited by the servants waiting in Changfuyuan. When he returned to the main courtyard, his expression was not good, "Madam, I didn't mean to send those girls back, why are you still here?"
?They all live in Xianyuan. What do you mean?"
Chu Yunli looked curious, "It's because you like your daughter that I found them. I got up early in the morning to pick them out. How can you just send them away? Not to mention the trouble I put in, this is the family where they sent their daughters.
They also feel that the Chen family is not honest. They are just a few girls, just raise them. Besides, the little girl is innocent and lively, and her mood will get better after seeing them."
Chen Yuanlue frowned, "But because of them, my mother refused to give Xianle a family tree!"
"I didn't agree to the genealogy in the first place." The maid brought hot water in. Seeing that Chu Yunli had no intention of going over to twist the handkerchief, she had no choice but to twist it dry and give it to Chen Yuanlue.
Chen Yuanlue was upset and didn't pay attention at all. He took it and wiped his face, "Don't you really like Xianle's cuteness? If she wasn't included in the family tree, she would be bullied."
"Who would bully her?" Chu Yunli said with a smile, "The girls in the second room are all detained in the yard over there. She is the only girl here. Oh, there are only six of them now, and I am watching.
, no one will bully them."
Chen Yuanlue emphasized again, "Send those girls away!" As he said that, he threw the handkerchief into the basin with a bang.
Chen Yuanlue rarely got angry like this at home.
The maid was so frightened that she trembled and carried the basin down numbly.
Chu Yunli's expression remained unchanged and she didn't even raise her eyelids. She looked at her nails painted with kodan and said, "Not only do you like this pretty little girl, I also like it. You can just adopt her. If I raise a few, you have to give them away."
Let’s go…what do you mean?”
Chen Yuanlue got angry and was not comforted by her. Hearing this, he also found that she was unhappy, so he softened his tone and said, "It's enough for us to have Xianle. Why do we raise so many?"
Chu Yunli raised his eyes, "I'm happy!"
"You..." Chen Yuanlue pointed at her and said after a while, "Then move those girls away and don't let them live with Xianle!"
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows, "This little girl lives together and has company, and she can still talk. Why would she move away?" After saying that, she looked him up and down suspiciously, "You are not ordinary towards this little girl, you don't have any
What do you think?"
Chen Yuanlue's eyebrows sharpened, "Don't talk nonsense. What can I think about an eight-year-old girl?"
If you are not interested in a little girl, you may not be interested in someone else’s own mother!
In fact, looking at Chen Yuanlue's attitude towards Chen Xianle, it is no longer as simple as taking care of the daughter of an old friend. The Chen family has a big business, and she is just a little girl. She should act like Lin Ranran, and the food and clothing expenses will not wrong her.
If Chen Yuanlue didn't care about his own mother, why should he care so much?
In her penetrating gaze, Chen Yuanlue felt a little uncomfortable and looked away, "One daughter is enough. Don't raise too many. I'm afraid you'll be upset."
Chu Yunli is already settled!
The ones she picked today were not chosen randomly. They were all girls who were not liked by her family. In the Chen family, at least from today on, these girls will no longer be disliked!
Chen Yuanlue wanted to send those girls away mainly because it was impossible to enter all of them in the family tree. Besides, not everyone could enter the family tree. The girl who didn’t know why, not to mention the old lady, even he himself wouldn’t do it!
But if only Chen Xianle is given sex, they are all adopted daughters, so why should she be different?
The atmosphere in the room was tense for a long time. Chen Yuan slightly softened his tone and said, "I've already sent someone to pick up the set of gold leaf jewelry you saw last month. It will definitely look good on you."
Chu Yunli smiled and said, "Thank you, sir."
Chen Yuan nodded slightly, "Those girls..."
This matter couldn't be dealt with. Chu Yunli interrupted him and said, "Today Xianle said that she wanted to go home to see her mother."
Chen Yuanlue immediately asked, "Have you gone?"
Chu Yunli looked up at him, making him feel uncomfortable, and then said, "Actually, she is the one I dislike the most among these girls! They are all adopted daughters, and those who don't care about their families, but she insists on going back to see her mother, shouldn't I
It takes a lot of hard work to raise a baby, a lot of money and effort, but in the end you raise it for someone else?"
Chen Yuan snorted slightly, "Raising a girl who has no family affection at all will be in vain!"
"Then all this care for my mother is not in vain?" Chu Yunli refused to give in, "You can send them away if you want me to, send them all away, and don't raise any of them!"
Chen Yuanlue was dumbfounded and thought for a long time, "Raise them separately, you raise yours, and I raise mine!"
"No! Why can you raise a noble girl who wants to be included in the family tree, but I can only raise an ordinary girl?" Chu Yunli narrowed his eyes, "You look down on me?"
Seeing that she was a little angry, Chen Yuanlue hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant..."
Chu Yunli interrupted him, "Then what do you mean? If you don't mean anything else, let's raise them together! Also, girl, please don't interfere. If you interfere too much, it's time for outsiders to gossip!"
"What gossip?" Chen Yuanlue became angry instantly.
Chu Yunli lowered his eyes and looked at the tea cup in front of him, "It's not like there are some beasts in this rich city... Everyone knows in their hearts that it would be unpleasant to say it. You'd better restrain yourself from sending the girl home. If she wants to go back
That's fine, as long as I am still Mrs. Chen, she will not be allowed to enter the Chen family again in her life!"
"Unreasonable!" The two parted unhappy, and Chen Yuanlue walked away in a puff of his sleeves.
The next morning, after Chu Yunli got up, Sanqi hesitated a little, but still whispered, "Madam, I am not talking too much to instigate the relationship between you and the master... The master took Miss Xianle out early this morning."
Chu Yunli was washing up, threw the handkerchief back into the basin, and sneered, "Take your guards and come with me!"
Chen Xianle's mother, Mrs. Zhang, now lives in the small courtyard behind the Chen family. This place is basically reserved for the respectable mothers and stewards of various families here. Needless to say, everyone knows that it was arranged by Chen Yuanlue.
Chu Yunli left in a mighty manner with his people. Every house in the yard was a family member of a wealthy businessman. Although he did not dare to look openly, many people were paying attention secretly.
Walking to a small courtyard, Chu Yunli told Sanqi, "Knock on the door!"
Sanqi looked at the ordinary little courtyard, a little afraid that she had knocked on the wrong door. As far as she knew, no one seemed to have reported anything to the master in private, but it was possible that the master had some way of spreading the news that she didn't know about.
.
After hesitating for a moment, he went forward and knocked on the door. Soon a pleasant female voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
The door opened immediately, and behind the door stood a beautiful woman in her twenties, dressed in cloth, with a slender waist tied by a belt. Her face was a little pale, and she couldn't be said to be very beautiful, but she had a delicate temperament. She opened the door.
After seeing Chu Yunli, the smile on her lips instantly disappeared, as if she was frightened, she took a step back and said, "Madam..."
Before Chu Yunli could move, a calm man's voice came from inside with a smile, "Who is here? Are you so scared?"
Chen Yuanlue came out of the house. Because the yard was small, he saw Chu Yunli at the door while he was still in the house. He frowned and scolded, "What are you doing here?"
Chu Yunli stepped in, but did not enter the door again. Instead, she pushed the half-open door open, "Originally, I came to ask the girl from this family if she wants to be a member of the Chen family after running back like this.
Daughter. But I didn’t expect that it would turn into a rape..."
"Nonsense!" Chen Yuanlue swept over in a few steps, pulling Chu Yunli to leave.
Chu Yunli didn't move, "Am I talking nonsense? Since it's not about catching an adulterer, I dare to ask Mr. Chen, what are you doing here in this autumn morning when you should sleep in late? Especially, there are no men in this family, only new widows.
If a woman is not caught in adultery, what is that?"
The door was blocked by Chu Yunli, and Chen Yuanlue tried to close it several times to no avail, so he had to explain, "I just sent Xianle back! Nothing else? I have been married to you for many years, and you should be the person who knows me best. I am that
Raising people?"
This is what Lin Ranran once thought. This man has not taken a concubine for many years and is devoted to her. He should not be suspicious of her. But the result... this woman refused to be a concubine, and he actually tried to find a way to make room for her.
Chu Yunli looked at his chest, "I know people, faces, but not hearts. How do I know what you are thinking?"
Seeing more and more people looking around, Chen Yuanlue became more and more anxious. Reputation is very important to a woman, especially a woman who lives alone and is a widow. If a bad reputation spreads, anyone can step on it.
, and will also attract people with dirty minds.
"Let's go back and talk about it first. I'll explain it to you carefully, okay?" After saying that, he turned to the door and shouted, "Xianle, you're home."
Chen Xianle ran out quickly, and Chu Yunli sneered when she saw this, "Obviously this is her home. Since she can't let go after becoming the daughter of the Chen family, let's not let the mother and daughter separate."
"No!" Zhang Liyuan said urgently, "Just this once, she won't do it again. Madam, please spare her this time."
I saw Zhang Liyuan's face full of anxiety, pushing her daughter away, "I will rest assured that you will be fine from now on, and I will be fine too. Don't keep coming back."
After Chen Xianle was pushed out, she looked at Chen Yuanlue again, "Master, don't come here anymore. It's not good for others to see you..."
After saying that, she raised her hand and closed the door. Her face was filled with tears as she closed each door.
Chen Yuanlue wanted to knock on the door, but after glancing at the people watching secretly on the left and right, he finally gave up and looked at Chu Yunli, saying bitterly, "Go home!"
If you say yes, don't I lose face?
Chu Yunli raised her hand and knocked on the door again, "Open the door!"
Chen Yuanlue reached out and grabbed her hand, but he was so forceful that her hand passed through the door and her nails were broken in half.
Chu Yunli withdrew her hand, glanced at her nails, and said, "Sure enough, the man's heart is fickle!"
With a melancholy look on his face, he said, "Since you have someone else in mind, as your wife, I will naturally let you get what you want, even though this woman is a widow with a child... Whatever, as long as you accept her, I will admit it."
Chu Yunli raised her hand and knocked on the door again, "Open the door, we have something to discuss."
Chen Yuan was startled for a moment, and after realizing what she meant, he grabbed her hand again, "Are you crazy? I only regard her as my sister, I didn't think..."
"Sister?" Chu Yunli nodded, "Okay, let's go home."
She simply gave up. Chen Yuanlue felt a little disappointed for some reason, but this was not the time to dwell on it. He caught up with her and got on the carriage, "I really don't have that intention."
Chu Yunli nodded, stretched out his hand to touch his face, "It was my fault. You always said you wanted a daughter, but I didn't even think of helping you get a concubine. I'll find it for you when you get back."
After saying that, he looked at Chen Xianle, who was huddled in the corner without saying a word, "When you have a biological daughter in the future, you should not forget the daughter you love the most now..."
Chen Yuanlue suddenly found that it was extremely difficult to communicate with his wife these past two days. The man who was so docile and intelligent in the past couldn't understand anything these past two days. He immediately emphasized, "I don't take concubines!"
Chu Yunli didn't take it seriously, "I've had enough of this jealous woman's reputation over the years. If you really don't like it, just make it a decoration!"
When she said these words, she noticed Chen Xianle in the corner looking here several times.
Along the way, Chen Yuanlue kept lobbying, and also mentioned that the relationship between the two of them for many years should not be interfered with. Anyway, the meaning was the same: he did not take concubines!
Chu Yunli was thoughtful. Seeing this, Chen Yuanlue felt that she was reminiscing about the past, and she spoke more energetically.
When she got off the carriage at the gate of the Chen family, she said, "You have to ask your mother to consider this choice together!"
Chen Yuanlue: "..." Has she become deaf after such a long time?
The author has something to say: See you tomorrow.
