Chapter 385: Take a stand
Chapter 385 Take a stand
Ji Huazhen was a little worried.
Although she loves her niece dearly, the girl's current state is really abnormal. She is worried that Yan Ning will hurt Chu Nanzhi impulsively.
Just trying to dissuade her, Chu Nanzhi hurriedly comforted her with a warm smile: "Master, don't worry, just a few words."
After speaking, he signaled the little treasures to let go of themselves, and said softly: "You, grandma and aunt are waiting in the yard for mother to come back."
Seeing this, Chang Yanning also left his father Chang Yanhe aside, and led Chu Nanzhi straight to the backyard.
Walking all the way in, Chang Yanning saw that there was no one around by the pond in the courtyard. Chang Yanning suddenly stopped, turned her head and smiled slightly at her, "It's right here."
Chu Nanzhi looked around in a daze.
It was quiet all around, and there was no one in sight. She couldn't help but heighten her vigilance, and looked at her with a serious face: "Say something."
"sister in law."
Chang Yanning tried hard to convince himself, and called out solemnly: "Although I don't want to call you sister-in-law, since he also has this intention, then I will follow his will."
Chu Nanzhi's heart trembled when she heard it, and she didn't know what was the meaning behind her grudging sister-in-law cry?
Chang Yanning pursed her lips, and there was a hint of cunning in her black and bright pupils: "Sister-in-law should know how much my Chang family is in Brother Jinxiao's heart, and uncle loves him like a father and son. If I insist on asking uncle to beg Jinxiao My brother accepts me as a side concubine, presumably brother Jinxiao will not refuse, right?"
"You are well informed."
Chu Nanzhi was a little shocked. She had just learned that Lin Jinxiao was about to inherit the title of King Pingning, and she already knew about it.
If she really wants to marry Lin Jinxiao as a side concubine for this reason, it is very likely that she will get what she wants.
After all, being a side concubine of the palace is not a concubine of an ordinary official family, but she still has a bit of dignity and dignity. The Chang family may agree to her request in desperation.
Chang Yanning looked at her meaningfully: "This matter is not a secret, I will know about it sooner or later, what I want to ask is, if I really want to, will my sister-in-law accept me into the house and let me live with you?" To serve brother Jinxiao together?"
"Cough, sister Yan Ning is also a smart person, why ask such a stupid question."
Chu Nanzhi scoffed angrily, "If you ask me, I will naturally say no. As for him"
Here, she paused a little bit without a clue, and continued after a long time: "I really can't control his thoughts, and I can't control this kind of imposed external factors."
As the eyes flashed, the topic changed accordingly: "But I know one thing, even if you are a side concubine of the palace, you still can't escape the fate of a concubine after all, and Lin Dalang is the son-in-law that my Chu family bought with money, to tell the truth, A few days ago, he wrote a new marriage contract and handed it to his mother in person, voluntarily binding his fate with the Chu family. You should be able to understand the deep meaning of this without me saying more.
So as long as my Chu family doesn't nod, he will always be the son-in-law of my Chu family, and I will always be Lin Dalang's first wife. Let alone Chang Lao, he can't change it even in front of the emperor. Even though you can be tolerated entering the Lin family's door, to me, you are no different from the girl who burns fire in the house. "
Looking deeply at Chang Yanning, Chu Nanzhi smiled lightly and said, "Sister Yanning is the daughter of the Chang family's concubine, and my uncle is the prince and grand tutor of the year, a scholarly family with many generations of officials, how noble is he?
Being a child, failing to be filial to parents, raising one's mind and body, failing to glorify one's family is already treasonous, but for the only sliver of obsession left in one's heart, one is willing to live under others and be humiliated by others. I don't think it's Sister Yan Ning who is so self-willed and depraved. Wait for a smart and transparent person to do it, right? "
Chang Yanning was both ashamed and shocked when he heard the powerful opinion.
She didn't want to flatter the Chang family and Lin Jinxiao to perfuse herself, but to point out the key points straight to the point.
After thinking about it, Chang Yanning was gradually convinced by her.
The sharp words are really beyond the reach of ordinary women.
No wonder even uncles and aunts are so toward her.
It was indeed as she said, her father and uncle could accommodate her to continue Lin Jinxiao's strings, but they would never tolerate her being a lowly child.
After all, the family background of the Chang family is not ordinary. Even if she wants to be a side concubine, she should at least be the concubine of the crown prince so that her father will not be prejudiced.
What's more, Lin Jinxiao's decisive words in the county government that day still linger in his ears.
He didn't want to see himself again, so why should he humiliate himself again.
Chu Nanzhi looked at her with a fluttering heart, probably touched by what she said.
Thinking of what he overheard in the county government that day, it can be seen that Lin Jinxiao really doesn't have any affection for her.
It's just that those words are always overheard, and it's hard for her to say it clearly.
Since she wants to see her own attitude, let her be more desperate.
After thinking about it, Chu Nanzhi took advantage of the situation and continued: "There is an old saying that is good, you would rather be a poor wife than a noble concubine, Sister Yan Ning, although I admire your devotion deeply, it does not mean that I am a poor wife. You can be allowed to do whatever you want, after all, you can’t force it in the emotional world, if you insist on going your own way, in the end, you will be the one who will be hurt the most.”
"Sister-in-law's ability to say these words is nothing but brother Jinxiao's preference for you now."
Chang Yanning snorted coldly with disdain: "Yes, he did say that there is only room for his sister-in-law in this life, but how can a man's heart be so unyielding? Even if he really has this ambition, don't forget With his identity, there will always be many things that go against your wishes in the future, if you can push down my Chang family today, what about other families in the future, if it is the will of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager?"
"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future."
Chu Nanzhi smiled warmly, showing a calm face: "As I said just now, whether it's you or another sect, I can't stop Lin Dalang's attitude, I'm just expressing my position."
Three wives and four concubines are the norm in this day and age. Although she is extremely unwilling to accept Lin Jinxiao as a concubine, and Lin Jinxiao has also expressed his determination, but as Chang Yanning said, many things in this world often backfire.
It's just that the posture that should be there must be corrected, and there must be no compromise.
"Yan Ning, maybe all the women in your boudoirs regard loyalty and chastity as their life-long beliefs, but I, Chu Nanzhi, can't follow my orders. There is only one couple for a lifetime with me. I say this today, and I will still say this in the future. , If he is ruthless, I will give up. Feelings are my attachment, but they will not be my everything. If I make myself humble because of love, then I would rather be alone."
Chang Yanning stayed on the surface of the pool with dull eyes, and was completely convinced.
At this moment, she finally knew why this woman chose to reconcile and leave when Lin Jinxiao was an extremely powerful minister.
Do not seek wealth, fame and fortune, but only seek the heart. This kind of ambition is not comparable to that of ordinary women.
In terms of heart and mind, she thinks she can be regarded as relatively open-minded in this era, but compared with this woman's courage, she is really far behind.
Even though she was able to be loyal to Lin Jinxiao for so many years, she always adhered to the idea of being faithful to the end in her heart. She never thought about true happiness.
In her opinion, getting it is happiness, and not getting it is a lifetime of regret.
Cough, what I lost to her is only my parents, and this realm of careful thinking that will never be achieved.
