Chapter 177 177 Widow (1st update)
Chu Qianchen: "..."
She poured herself a cup of tea and lowered her eyes to smell the aroma.
She could vaguely guess what would happen next.
Mrs. Shen took another sip of tea before continuing: "I refuse."
"I also told Chu Lingxiao that since he is a man, he should take some responsibility; if something goes wrong, he will let a woman come forward. What kind of man is he?"
"At that moment, Chu Lingxiao was so angry that he smashed all the teacups and teapots on the coffee table and walked away."
"That time, we didn't 'reconcile' until Jiang Minshan was sent away."
When she talked about "reconciliation", Shen felt extremely ironic and the bitter taste became even stronger.
More than ten years have passed, and Mrs. Shen has never mentioned Jiang Minshan's pregnancy before marriage. As time passed, she gradually forgot about this dispute. Anyway, it was just one of countless disputes, big and small.
Mrs. Shen picked up the tea cup again, and then put it down again. A certain thought came to mind: Could it be that...
Shen felt her heart twitch again, as if her heart was being held in someone's palm.
Chu Qianchen could also see what Shen was thinking and nodded, "Maybe it's because of this."
Shen: “…”
Shen's pupils shrank slightly. In fact, she was still a little confused.
At that time, she had just married into the Hou family, and she had not broken up with Chu Lingxiao.
Although the affair between Chu Lingxiao and his cousin Jiang Minshan displeased her, it was not a big deal. After all, there were so many mansions of noble clans in Beijing, and there were too many messy private affairs, among which there were many men and women like this. For example, the third master of the Yan'an Marquis Mansion had an affair with his father's concubine when he was young, and was caught red-handed, which spread throughout the capital.
There are countless other things like elopement, having affairs without a matchmaker, etc.
Just because she didn't agree to Chu Lingxiao's plea to the old marquis, she could arouse such great malice in Chu Lingxiao, even venting his hatred on his own daughter? !
Shen thought in surprise.
At this moment, she couldn't help but think of all the things that had happened to Chu Lingxiao over the years. He had tried every possible means to delay the appointment of the crown prince, he had secretly replaced Chu Yunmu's ointment, and he even had the idea of letting Chu Qianchen die violently for the sake of the emperor's marriage. …
Chu Lingxiao is fundamentally selfish, narrow-minded, and has no lower limits.
Shen suddenly felt that Chu Lingxiao could do this!
She rejected him and reprimanded him, so he hated her, wanted her to suffer, wanted her to live in a huge secret all her life, wanted her to raise a daughter for someone else, and wanted her daughter to suffer all the humiliation...
Just thinking about it, Shen's chest rose and fell violently again, and an uncontrollable emotion came to her heart, almost destroying her completely.
When Shen realized this cruel reality, many things became clear.
so-
Everything that happened back then was planned by Chu Lingxiao early on. That was why she had a sudden premature birth, that chaos, and then the whitewashing of peace, and even murder and silence...
Chu Lingxiao's heart is too cruel and poisonous!
Seeing Shen's shortness of breath, Chu Qianchen hurriedly rubbed the Hegu point in the tiger's mouth for her, sighed helplessly and said, "Mom, if you are so excited again, you won't be able to maintain your health well."
"You are more disobedient than the prince and Brother Mu!"
She seemed to be complaining, but her tone was soft, with a bit of squeamishness and cuteness, which made Shen's heart soften immediately.
She couldn't help but raise her hand to touch Chu Qianchen's cheek, as if she were touching a fragile treasure.
Mrs. Shen looked at Chu Qianchen tenderly and lovingly, and said to herself that she could no longer be ill. Just like what her mother said yesterday, Sister Chen still needed to support her.
Now Sister Chen is still carrying her identity as a concubine, allowing Jiang Minshan's daughter to take everything that should belong to her...
For the sake of her children, she could not be depressed.
She still has a lot to do!
Shen's eyes lit up little by little, so firm and tolerant, like a vast starry sky.
At this time, there was a sound of the curtain being opened, and Mrs. Mu Guogong came in. Looking at the mother and daughter holding hands, she felt a little depressed and uncomfortable.
She actually arrived before a cup of tea, stopped the maid who was saluting her, and heard some of it outside. She was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe.
Mrs. Mu Guogong held the Buddhist beads bracelet in her hand tightly and asked, "Azhi, what are your plans?"
These things are really unbearable, Chu Lingxiao is simply bullying others! !
Shen: “…”
Shen frowned in thought, her lips pursed into a straight line, and her eyes were deep.
Mrs. Mu Guogong asked directly: "Azhi, do you want to make peace?"
This simple question shocked Nanny Chen, Dongmei and Hu Hu. Their pupils shrank sharply and their eyes widened in disbelief.
Shen: “…”
Of course, Mrs. Shen wanted to make peace. It would be best for her to leave the Chu family and have nothing to do with the Chu family and Chu Lingxiao.
However, according to Daqi's laws, the only thing a woman Heli can take away is her own dowry.
Her two children can still only have the surname Chu, and they can only stay in the Chu family and the Yongding Marquis Mansion. That is not to be left to Chu Lingxiao to learn from each other. After all, a father is not guilty of murdering his son!
Mrs. Shen squeezed Chu Qianchen's hand and shook her head, "No harmony."
It's not that she doesn't want to divorce, it's just that she can't. Mrs. Shen raised her hand and made a gesture, and Nanny Chen, Dongmei and Hubo withdrew, leaving only the grandparents and grandchildren.
"..." Mrs. Mu Guogong sighed tiredly, feeling that this matter would be difficult to handle here.
Heli, Shen Zhi is the only one who can leave the Chu family.
Although Chu Qianchen is married, her surname is Chu and she is the daughter of the Chu family.
Not to mention Chu Yunmu, who is only five years old. Once his parents divorce, he will definitely miss out on the throne and may be wasted by his stepmother in the future.
Chu Lingxiao was the father of Chu Qianchen and Chu Yunmu. When the scandalous things he did became known, Chu Yunmu was also disgraced. He would be criticized for having such a father in his life.
Mrs. Mu Guogong felt as if her heart was being burned again.
At this time, I heard Mrs. Shen say again: "If you don't get along, you can lose your husband."
Her voice was soft and light, neither sullen nor angry, with an understatement of firmness.
Her eyes were black, clear and bright, shining as sharply as a knife blade, and like a thousand-year-old ancient well, which made Mrs. Mu Guo Gong feel a little chill in her heart.
"..." Mrs. Mu Guogong composed herself and moved her lips slightly.
What my daughter means is that she wants to...
Rationally, Mrs. Mu Guogong thought that this was fine and that it could be settled once and for all. However, her daughter was raised pampered, so how could she be allowed to kill someone? It was not worth getting her hands dirty for such a scumbag.
There was silence in the room, and a "puff" of laughter broke the weird atmosphere.
Chu Qianchen couldn't help laughing, revealing a row of neat braided jade teeth, and his eyebrows were curved, as if he had heard something interesting.
Shen wanted to tell Chu Qianchen that she was not joking, but Chu Qianchen moved closer to Shen, held her right hand with both hands, stared into her eyes, and said seriously: "Mom, still... Let’s make peace.”
"You are still young, there is no need to spend your whole life in the Yongding Marquis Mansion."
When he mentioned "Yongding Hou Mansion", Chu Qianchen's face was unimpressed, as if he was talking about an insignificant place.
She could think of what Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Mu Guogong were worried about. In the eyes of Chu Qianchen, who had lived two lives, their worries were really insignificant.
For Chu Qianchen, Yongdinghou Mansion was not a good place.
When she was fourteen years old in her previous life, she was also afraid of being kicked out of her home. When she was kicked out of her home, she felt as if the world had been turned upside down, her life was gloomy, and there was no hope.
However, later she met the prince, and she discovered the vastness of the world.
The sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap.
Shen's life is still very long. Chu Qianchen doesn't want her to be trapped in the Sifangtian of Yongding Marquis Mansion for the rest of her life. Her life should not be just for a pair of children.
Shen: “…”
Shen didn't respond, but patted Chu Qianchen's hand gently.
How gentle the movements of her hands were, how much hatred she felt in her heart.
She told herself over and over again that she would never let the Chu family go!
The light of hatred bursting out of Shen's eyes could not be suppressed at all.
Chu Qianchen could obviously see that Mrs. Shen was a little extreme now, and hatred had gained the upper hand in her heart.
When a person is angry, no matter how others try to persuade him, it will be of no use. Shen has to let Shen figure it out on his own.
Chu Qianchen felt distressed and helpless. In her opinion, it was not worth it for Shen to spend her whole life trapped in the Hou Mansion.
She also knew that the reason why Shen made this decision was not for herself, but for Chu Yunmu and herself.
Therefore, they just need to reassure Shen.
Take your time, don't rush, they have plenty of time in this life.
Mrs. Mu Guogong looked at the mother and daughter, her eyes became slightly hot, she felt sad in her heart, and she was even more grateful. Fortunately, they discovered the truth. Fortunately, they were not deceived by Chu Lingxiao for the rest of their lives. Fortunately!
Mrs. Mu Guogong wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. At this time, Dongmei said outside: "Madam, the carriage is ready."
Mrs. Shen called Dongmei in and asked her to help her get up. She said coldly: "I want to go back to the Hou Mansion and collect some interest first."
Now that Chu Lingxiao was not in the capital, whether she wanted to reconcile or become a widow, she couldn't do it for the time being, so she would have to ask the madam for some interest first.
"Azhi." Mrs. Mu Guogong frowned slightly.
The reason why the eldest daughter was vomiting blood and dying yesterday was because she was so angry that she could no longer be stimulated. At the moment, she should still recuperate first.
"Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on. I'm not that fragile." Shen said again, looking at Mrs. Mu Guogong and Chu Qianchen with a firm expression, "I must go on this trip."
She had been holding this breath for too long, and if she held it in any longer, she would only become depressed again.
She has recognized her biological daughter, so there is no reason to hurt herself, which will make her loved ones and enemies happy.
