Chapter 392: 392 love to kill
Chapter 392 Chapter 392 Love to Kill
Chu Yunyi felt cold in his heart, his throat was tight, and he couldn't say a word for a while.
He thought of what his brother-in-law Gu Jue had just said to him in Qianqing Palace, and of his ambitions.
He clenched his hands tightly into fists, then slowly let go. His eyes were firmly fixed on the face of the Dowager, and he said calmly and firmly: "No need."
The madam frowned, thinking that Chu Yunyi was too young to talk about marriage, so she said as an elder: "Brother Yi, since you have inherited the title..."
Madam Tai wanted to talk to Chu Yunyi about family, righteousness and human relations, but Chu Yunyi didn't want to listen at all and interrupted her directly: "Grandma, since I have inherited the title, from now on the Chu family will all obey me. "Don't you have a headache? Just take good care of it."
Chu Yunyi's tone was very tough, exuding a domineering air that no one could question.
"..." The madam was so shocked that she could hardly sit still, as if she didn't recognize the young man in front of her.
In the eyes of Mrs. Tai, the eldest grandson Chu Yunyi has always been a filial and obedient child who is willing to contribute to the family. Just like last year, he risked his life and saved the title of the Marquis Mansion with his contribution to escorting the emperor.
But now, how could this child become like this? !
What else did Mrs. Tai want to say, but Chu Yunyi was already one step ahead of her and said: "Grandma, please stop being nosy. The Chu family will not decline. I will work hard to revitalize the Chu family and make our Chu family the second sister that I can rely on." The power.”
He wants to support his sister, so he will definitely work harder.
The young man's clear voice seemed to carry the power of a thunderbolt, and there was a sound when it fell to the ground. The eyes as bright as stars bloomed with a light that was impossible to look directly at, completely suppressing the aura of the madam.
Chu Yunyi turned his back to the door and didn't notice Aunt Jiang coming.
Aunt Jiang, who was standing under the eaves, also heard Chu Yunyi's words just now. She stared at his profile from behind, her heart surging.
She was happy for the son she loved most.
Her son was so outstanding, like the bright moon and gentle breeze, like the mountains and rivers. She didn't think Mrs. Etai's short-sightedness could pick out any outstanding ladies. She was just someone like Liu, who was definitely not worthy of her son.
It's just that the wife coveted the power of another family, so she was confused. She didn't want to think about what if Chu Yunyi really got married to the Anding Houfu, and the eldest daughter of the Anding Houfu came into the palace to compete with Shen Qianchen for favor. Shen Qianchen Don't you want to turn your anger on Chu Yunyi? !
To put it more harshly, when it comes time to seize the direct lineage in the future, which side should Chu Yunyi stand on?
No one can please both sides, and no one is stupid enough to reuse an obvious loser!
The little maid who was guarding under the eaves saw Aunt Jiang standing frozen in place for a long time. She thought she was unwell and cautiously called out: "Aunt Jiang?"
Nowadays, everyone in the whole house is respectful and respectful to Aunt Jiang when they see her, and they admire her in their hearts.
In the past, when Chu Lingxiao was in good health, he regarded Aunt Jiang as his beloved. After Chu Lingxiao suffered a stroke, the wife valued Aunt Jiang far more than the other three decent daughters-in-law; but now, Aunt Jiang's biological son has taken over the throne.
Aunt Jiang has been in the Chu family for a lifetime!
"..." Aunt Jiang, who stood frozen on the spot, didn't react for a moment. The hand hidden in her sleeve twitched involuntarily. Then she smiled at the little maid, picked up her skirt and entered the house.
She looked at the madam in front of her, who was as sinking as water. Her eyes condensed and her eyes turned deep.
Chu Lingxiao can't hinder her Brother Yi now, but there is still Mrs. Tai!
Aunt Jiang's gaze turned from Mrs. Tai to Chu Yunyi who was sitting next to her. She saw Chu Yunyi calmly said again: "Grandma, you have worked hard for so many years. You can enjoy your old age in peace."
Chu Yunyi had very complicated feelings about this grandmother. In the past, he thought that Mrs. Tai really loved him, but later he realized that he was completely wrong. Even Mrs. Tai wanted to sell him to Kang Hongda.
When he first heard about it, Chu Yunyi just wanted to hide in a deserted place and never come out to see anyone for the rest of his life. Not only did he feel ashamed and embarrassed, but he was actually sad.
He was sold by his grandmother, uncle and father.
This was really not a glorious thing, so he just told Yun Zhan what he thought.
From then on, he became indifferent to the madam.
It cannot be said that all the ties between ancestors and grandchildren were cut off at once. After all, the love and care that the Tai Madam had for him in the past ten years was true, but he had learned to be measured. Since the Tai Madam treated him with more benefits than kindness, then he should treat him with more kindness. There is no need for the madam to show her sincerity, as long as she has enough etiquette.
"Come here, go and call the other people in the room." Chu Yunyi ordered.
Chu Yunyi inherited the title of Marquis, and he became the male master of the Marquis Mansion. Even though the Dowager Madam was furious, there were still servants who were willing to please Chu Yunyi and hurriedly left the Rongfu Hall to send messages to other rooms.
Chu Yunyi's nonchalant look made Mrs. Tai even angrier and more disappointed. For a moment, she felt disappointed and heartbroken as if she had misjudged the person.
"Brother Yi, why have you become like this?"
"You used to be the most filial, but now you are disobeying my grandmother!"
"Minshan, you're here! Tell Brother Yi, I made such a good marriage proposal to him, but he still doesn't appreciate it..."
The madam was so angry that her eyes were red and she complained a lot.
"Aunt, Brother Yi." Aunt Jiang's eyes were dazed for a moment, then she stabilized her expression, and walked up to the two of them calmly, with a flash of cruelty in her eyes: Yes, there is also the madam.
When her eyes looked at Chu Yunyi, they became gentle and loving.
Brother Yi finally succeeded in seizing the title, and she had nothing else to ask for in her life. Now she was willing to let her die.
Chu Yunyi thought that Aunt Jiang also wanted to persuade her to get engaged, so she immediately said: "Auntie, you have nothing to do here. You should go back and take care of your father."
The boy's body was thin, but he seemed to have grown up a lot in just half a month. He had the youthfulness of a boy and a bit of the heroic spirit of a soldier.
In fact, on the way out of the palace and back to the Hou Mansion, Chu Yunyi didn't know what to do, but when he stood here facing Mrs. Tai, he thought of Yun Zhan.
Yun Zhan often said that Su Mubai, an old fox, had many twists and turns in his mind. He told him not to imitate this old fox. They didn't have his brains, so they might as well do things simply and roughly.
Anyway, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat.
Aunt Jiang looked back and forth between Chu Yunyi and Mrs. Tai uneasily, and said softly: "Aunt, don't be angry. There is nothing we can't discuss as a family."
"A family?!" Aunt Jiang's words were interrupted by Mrs. Liu's sharp voice.
Mrs. Liu arrived aggressively with her two children. She hurried here because she heard that Chu Yunyi had come to Rongfu Hall.
Ms. Liu was not polite and said in a crackling voice: "If we were a family, we wouldn't plot everything and do evil things secretly!"
Ever since King Chen's Dao Chengjue book was delivered to the Chu family, Mrs. Liu felt a sigh of relief in her heart.
Chu Lingyu died in vain, and a lot of his family property was sold. Life was difficult, and he almost lost his wife and soldiers.
Her son is the direct grandson of the Chu family. She originally thought that after Shen Yunmu left, the title should belong to her son, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Tai would be so biased that she gave the title to the eldest son of the eldest concubine!
Mrs. Liu was angry and aggrieved, and wished she could slap the wife in the face, but the word "filial piety" was weighing heavily on her, so she couldn't do that.
She had already thought about it, since the title was no longer possible, she would at least get some other benefits for her second wife.
She and Shen Qianchen were at odds, so of course Chu Yunyi had to go to Shen Qianchen to ask for some favors and appease their second wife.
Shen Qianchen will soon be the queen. Whether it is errands or wealth, it is all a matter of her words.
You can't let your first wife eat meat, and you can't let your second wife drink soup either.
Chu Qianling knew very well what Liu was thinking and rubbed the handkerchief in her hand fiercely.
Whenever she thought about the huge difference in status between her and Shen Qianchen, Chu Qianling felt that it was unacceptable and that the world was too unfair.
Obviously both of them are girls from the Chu family. How could Shen Qianchen marry King Chen? How could Shen Qianchen become the empress of the dynasty and the most noble woman in the Qi Dynasty without doing anything!
Chu Qianling bit the tip of her tongue and swallowed the salty taste in her mouth with difficulty.
Chu Yunyi completely ignored Mrs. Liu's clamor, and only waited for the people from the third and fourth bedrooms to arrive before saying: "Now that I have become a lord, I am the head of the family. You have two choices now, either separate the family, or start from now on." From now on...just stay safe."
Meaning, if they are restless, they will still be the scorers!
Mrs. Liu couldn't believe her ears and was the first to object: "Why?!"
"Chu Yunyi, if you dare to ignore our orphans and widows, I will file a lawsuit against you."
Mrs. Liu's voice was so sharp that it was about to pierce Chu Qianling's eardrums. There was a beast roaring in Chu Qianling's heart, wanting Mrs. Liu to stop talking. Wouldn't the complaint mean she was begging for mercy from Shen Qianchen? !
Aunt Jiang had already walked out of the main room when the confrontation started. At this time, she stopped and looked back at the noisy room.
Facing the shrew-like Mrs. Liu, Chu Yunyi still sat calmly on the chair, raised her chin, and said coldly, "I am the boss here", "Why? Just because Chu is the boss now." I, Chu Yunyi, have the final say.”
Her brother Yi has grown up! Suddenly, Aunt Jiang's eyes seemed to travel through time and see Chu Yunyi when she was young. She clutched the handkerchief, turned her head, and continued walking forward.
Mrs. Liu couldn't do anything about Brother Yi.
Aunt Jiang left Rongfu Hall without stopping any longer, leaving the hustle and bustle of that room behind her.
The weather is so nice today!
Aunt Jiang enjoyed the spring scenery and strolled back to Chu Lingxiao's residence in the outer courtyard.
As soon as Aunt Jiang arrived, her eldest maid withdrew, leaving this space for the two of them.
It is extremely quiet inside and outside the courtyard. Now this is probably the quietest place in the entire Hou Mansion.
The room was still clean and spotless, but this tidy and clean environment made the dead fish-like man on the couch look even more haggard.
His once handsome face had long lost its charm under the torture of "illness". His complexion was dull and waxy-yellow, and he was as skinny as a stick. If such a piece of trash is thrown on the street, no woman will take a second look.
When Chu Lingxiao saw it was Aunt Jiang, she became very excited again, as if a firecracker had been set off.
Aunt Jiang is always gentle and kind, and always patient. Although Chu Lingxiao has no power to fight back, she has never been rough with him. After all, if she leaves any traces on him and is discovered, it will arouse suspicion. .
If you want to kill someone, why do you need to do it?
Aunt Jiang's smile deepened, and it was so soft and heart-warming.
"Cousin, do you know? Our brother Yi has become a prince. He is already the Marquis of Yongding."
"Don't worry, Brother Yi is a conscientious child. He will not sell you out for power like you."
"Hey, you don't know what you are doing in your life. You want power, but you end up throwing away the greatest power!"
Aunt Jiang seemed to be amused, her smile narrowed, and then she became sarcastic, looking at Chu Lingxiao with contempt and contempt in her eyes.
Chu Lingxiao: "!"
Chu Lingxiao's chest was rising and falling violently, and his eyes were about to burst.
He still couldn't move or speak, but his mind was clear.
He knew that Jiang Minshan was talking about Shen Qianchen. When Gu Jue ascends the throne on the first day of next month, Shen Qianchen will be the queen. Originally, he should be the head of the country, and the Chu family will prosper. Everyone should envy him and look up to him.
Their Chu family will be more prominent than Duke Mu's palace!
However, all this was ruined by Jiang Minshan.
It was Jiang Minshan who deliberately separated him from Shen Qianchen, then asked Chu Yunyi to please Shen Qianchen, and finally she poisoned him!
All of this was planned by Jiang Minshan, including him and Shen Zhihe Li in order to squeeze Shen Yunmu away.
Chu Lingxiao figured it all out at once, and then he felt a strong sense of unwillingness, and his heart almost exploded.
He made a low whimper with difficulty, his eyes were blood red,
He really wanted to bite Aunt Jiang's throat out and make this **** pay for her life.
Every time Aunt Jiang saw Chu Lingxiao being so angry that he was about to vomit blood, she felt happy all over.
These days have been the happiest days she has lived in the past fifteen years.
"Are you angry?" Aunt Jiang raised her graceful eyebrows and asked herself with a smile, "Don't be angry. At least you can still have good food and clothing, and be cared for by someone. This is a life that many people have dreamed of all their lives. ”
"Didn't Dr. He say it last time? If you don't get angry less and don't develop other problems, you won't have any problems living for another ten or twenty years."
"It seems that Sister Chen doesn't even want you to die."
As she spoke, Aunt Jiang's eyes flickered, remembering the scene when Imperial Doctor He came to the Hou Mansion that day.
At that time, she was really afraid that Dr. He would get some clues from Chu Lingxiao's pulse. She also thought about trying to stop Dr. He, but she gave up.
You can stop it for a while, but you can't stop it forever.
Therefore, she was heartbroken. After all, even Dr. He could see that he was fine. Chu Lingxiao was already like this. He could no longer use Chu Yunyi. With Shen Qianchen protecting him, Chu Yunyi would not be too miserable.
She only had one life, and she could only live or die.
Surprisingly, Dr. He only said that Chu Lingxiao could live for more than ten or twenty years, and said nothing else, which was equivalent to acknowledging that Chu Lingxiao had a "stroke".
Although Doctor He was expressionless at the moment, Aunt Jiang still saw something strange in his eyes.
She understood at that time that Shen Qianchen didn't care why Chu Lingxiao had a "stroke", she just wanted Chu Lingxiao not to die.
Also, Shen Qianchen will be hair-cut in four months.
If Chu Lingxiao dies now, then Shen Qianchen, as a married daughter, will have to serve her father for one year. Once she keeps her filial piety, when new people come into the palace in the future, one year will be enough for those new people. The emperor's eldest son was born.
Moreover, men love the new and hate the old the most. No matter how much they like you on the outside, they still want to hug you. Even when Chu Lingxiao was flirting with her, had a child with Shen Zhi, or had another relationship with someone else. She gave birth to two sisters, Chu Qianwu.
Chu Lingxiao is like this, what's more, Chen Wang Gu Jue will soon be the emperor of Qi.
A year later, those new lovers were almost able to gain a foothold, and with the prince by their side, what place did Shen Qianchen have to stand on!
Shen Qianchen was a smart man. He had captured King Chen's heart within less than a year of their marriage. She must be able to understand this.
Shen Qianchen hated Chu Lingxiao, and what he did was tantamount to avenging Shen Qianchen, but he did not dirty Shen Qianchen's hands.
Therefore, when it comes to Chu Lingxiao's issue, she and Shen Qianchen have the same purpose.
After thinking through this problem, Aunt Jiang felt at ease. Now she just needs to "take good care" of Chu Lingxiao and let him live a few more years.
Her son was already the Marquis of Yongding. Even if she wasted so many years on Chu Lingxiao, her life was worth it.
After being reminded by Aunt Jiang, Chu Lingxiao suddenly understood that Shen Qianchen was "seeking death without saving anything."
Shen Qianchen, a rebellious girl, really hated him as her biological father. It was obvious that everything she had came from him!
But Shen Qianchen was not here, and Chu Lingxiao could only throw all his hatred at Aunt Jiang.
He tried hard to get up from the couch, to pounce on Aunt Jiang, to bite her to vent his anger, but his body and limbs still refused to obey him, and all he could make out of his mouth were those feeble whining sounds.
He hates it so much!
The person he hated the most was Jiang Minshan in front of him.
His whole life's sincerity has been wrongly paid. If it weren't for the fact that he doted on Jiang Minshan and made Shen Zhi unhappy, Shen Zhi would not have left him.
As long as Shen Zhi is here, no matter how resentful Shen Qianchen is towards him, she will still be "Chu Qianchen", so he is now the head of the state.
It was all Jiang Minshan who harmed him. If he hadn't been deceived by Jiang Minshan's false love, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
It's better for Shen Zhi. If he had listened to his father and stayed with Shen Zhi, his life would have been in a different situation. How could he be blind?
Chu Lingxiao was so excited that he let out a series of "beep-beep-beep" sounds, which were intermittent, rapid and messy.
He still couldn't say a word, but Aunt Jiang seemed to be able to read his mind.
Oh, life is only a short period of time. She has been entangled with him for twenty years, wasting the most brilliant years of her life in vain.
Aunt Jiang smiled softly again, very softly, but it seemed like another whip struck Chu Lingxiao hard.
"You don't have to worry about Shen Zhi anymore. Shen Zhi is getting married soon." Aunt Jiang said every word, her eyes fixed on his face, admiring the subtle changes in his expression.
Chu Lingxiao: "!!"
Even if they reconcile, he will not allow Shen Zhi to remarry.
No, absolutely not!
The corners of Chu Lingxiao's crooked mouth and eyes twitched twice, and the bloodshot webs in his eyes spread rapidly in an instant, as if he was possessed and crazy.
He suddenly came up with a breath, and actually got up a little bit, but only a little bit. The next moment, he fell off the bed together with the thin quilt on his body.
And he couldn't even scream. He could only hear the sound of flesh hitting the ground. His face also hit the ground, and the bridge of his nose was closely connected to the ground.
Now for Aunt Jiang, Chu Lingxiao's embarrassed look was her best wine and the greatest joy in her ordinary life.
One of her favorite things was stabbing him with reality over and over again.
"Cousin, you don't think that Shen Zhi will still like you when you are like this, do you?"
"Hey, man, how can you be so confident? My father is, and so are you. What do you think you have that deserves a woman's love for you?"
"Is it because you are inferior and arrogant, or is it because you have a bad temper, or because you like you to act like a concubine?"
Aunt Jiang looked down at Chu Lingxiao, who was lying humbly at her feet on the ground, "You are only worthy of being entangled with me."
Aunt Jiang lowered her eyelashes, her eyes dark and unclear.
Because she was worried about Chu Yunyi, she sent a servant to wait at the palace gate, thinking that Chu Yunyi would be informed of the news as soon as he came out of the palace. Unexpectedly, the young man came back and told her that when he passed by Mu Guogong's mansion, he found out that Pei Linye had gone there to propose marriage.
To be honest, Aunt Jiang envied Shen Zhi deep in her heart.
Pei Linye is a completely different man from Chu Lingxiao.
Even though Aunt Jiang had never met him, based on what she heard from Chu Lingxiao and her intuition as a woman, she could almost conclude that Pei Linye had been waiting for Shen Zhi for many years.
A man who is willing to wait for a woman to marry for so many years cannot be described as "rare" anymore.
Aunt Jiang turned her head and looked out the window, seeing several magpies flying by.
Today, Duke Mu's mansion also has pairs of magpies visiting the door, making it very lively.
But the atmosphere in the main hall was unusually solemn and solemn.
The little maid who was guarding under the eaves didn't even dare to take a breath, but she couldn't help but look into the room, once again, and again.
Will the Duke agree? !
Just as she was thinking about it, the little maid saw Shen Zhi walking over in a willow-colored dress, and she couldn't help but smile.
When Shen Zhi saw Mu Guogong and his wife gathered together with Pei Linye, she couldn't help but be startled. She was called here temporarily by Duke Mu, but she didn't know that Pei Linye was also there.
Pei Linye is sitting at the bottom, wearing a lake blue cloud pattern straight coat, a waistband inlaid with a white jade embroidered dark Eight Immortals pattern belt, a purse and a small pagoda-shaped Qingtian stone seal. He is dressed very solemnly.
Shen Zhi paused outside for a moment, and then walked in gracefully under the burning eyes of Mu Guogong, his wife and Pei Linye.
Mu Guogong and his wife looked at their daughter with a somewhat complicated expression, seeming solemn, hesitant, and with a hint of hope.
Duke Mu and his wife exchanged glances with each other. Finally, Duke Mu cleared his throat and he spoke: "Azhi, Lin Ye came to propose marriage today, what do you think?"
Shen Zhi could feel that when his father said these words, Pei Linye's eyes became brighter, hotter, and uneasy.
Shen Zhi: "..."
Of course, Shen Zhi still remembered that Pei Linye asked her in front of Chu Lingxiao at the gate of Shen's house five days ago: "Cousin, is it okay if I go to the Duke's Mansion to propose marriage?"
At that time, she didn't answer.
Now, she still doesn't know how to answer.
She and Chu Lingxiao reconciled, but she was not alone. She had a son and a daughter.
My daughter Shen Qianchen will soon be made queen. If she remarries, will it be bad for her daughter...
And Brother Mu...
Mrs. Mu Guogong, who knew her daughter Mo Ruomu, could tell at a glance what Shen Zhi was thinking and said hurriedly: "Azhi, don't worry about so much. The first thing you should think about now is whether you are willing or not."
Mrs. Mu Guogong glanced at Pei Linye on the other side, with a faint smile on her face, which was so warm and soft.
"Lin Ye has been waiting for you for many years. We were wrong in the past and delayed most of your life."
"Azhi, you should live the rest of your life for yourself."
Every time she thought of her daughter's marriage to Chu Lingxiao, Mrs. Mu Guogong felt her heart ache.
The past has happened and cannot be changed, but my daughter’s future is still decades away!
