At sunset, Wu Jingchen finally returned to Wu's house in the last ray of sunlight of the night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mrs. Wu was having dinner when she heard Liu's mother report that the eldest prince had returned home, and asked in surprise, "Is the college on vacation today?"

"The old slave doesn't know, but the eldest son came back at this time, it must be related to the marriage of the girl of the Liu family, the old slave heard that the little girl who came to the newspaper said that the eldest son was in a very bad mood, and his face was tense all the time. ”

"Oh! It seems that Chen'er has heard something, no wonder he is in a bad mood, I can see his dislike of the Liu family with my eyes closed. Mrs. Wu smiled and joked at Liu's mother.

"Since the mother knows that her son hates the Liu family, why does she still make the decision and marry her to me, doesn't the mother know that the Liu family's reputation is spurned by everyone?

When Wu Jingchen came back from the academy, he had been holding his breath in his heart, and when he saw his mother's light and breezy expression, he suddenly couldn't suppress his anger and spit it out in one breath.

"The eldest prince is back", Liu Ma smiled and saluted Wu Jingchen, and said: "How can the eldest prince think of Mrs. like this, everything about the eldest son, Mrs. is energetic and refined, and she can't wait to give her heart to you, how can it hurt the son." The eldest prince should retract those words, the old slave can pretend that he didn't hear it. ”

Seeing that her son ignored Liu's mother's words, Mrs. Wu stared at her stubbornly, put down the bowl in her hand, took the handkerchief handed by the maid, and wiped the corners of her mouth slowly.

"Nurse, Chen'er just came back, presumably there is no meal yet, you go to the kitchen and order, let them quickly cook a few of the children's favorite dishes, and you all step down, you don't need to serve here." ”

"Yes. Mother Liu replied respectfully, waved everyone away, and carefully closed the door.

When everyone in the room retreated, Mrs. Wu gently beckoned to Wu Jingchen.

"Chen'er, come and sit down, you look at your mother like that, and your mother still thinks she is a prisoner?"

Wu Jingchen's face twitched slightly, and he lowered his head guiltily, hiding the unnaturalness in his heart, what he had just said had passed.

"Mother. ”

"Ahem! My mother knows that you must be wronged in your heart, but what my mother wants to say is that those are all rumors, how can my mother marry Liu's stupid and ignorant woman home to harm my son. ”

"Really. Wu Jingchen's eyes widened instantly, the smile on his face was like a brilliant flower, and the stone he had been carrying in his heart fell to the ground with a bang, and the whole person was a lot more relaxed.

Mrs. Wu looked at her happy son with a smile.

"Silly son, how could my mother lie to you. ”

"I'm scared to death, mother, you don't know, when my son heard the news at the beginning, my son wanted to die, and my son wouldn't marry that person even if he married a sow. ”

"What do you say, if you really marry a sow back, your mother will not cry to death, your mother's son is so handsome and chic, the girl who can be worthy of it must be a real lady, Liu's lowly businessman is from a humble background, and I am not qualified to lift shoes for my son, let alone marry my son, it is a fool's dream. ”

Wu Jingchen saw Mrs. Wu's disgusted expression, and the last trace of worry was gone, and then when she thought of the boiling rumors outside, a trace of anger appeared on her handsome face.

"Xiao Lu is really hateful, and I didn't inquire clearly, so I hurried back. And the one who spreads rumors is damned. ”

"Xiao Lu?" Mrs. Wu sank her face, it seemed that she had to knock on the people who were waiting around Chen'er.

Wu Jingchen looked at his mother's displeased expression, and hurriedly said: "Mother, don't blame Xiao Lu, he is also worried about me." ”

Mrs. Wu knew that her son liked that Xiao Lu the most, and seeing that he was in a hurry to maintain, she could only suppress the unhappiness in her heart.

Seeing that his son's clothes were wrinkled and there was a lot of dust on them, he stepped forward to hold him in distress.

"Look at you, for the sake of a rumor, what have you made yourself like, do you not believe your mother so much? As for putting down your studies at the academy and rushing back in a hurry, oops! Why is there blood on this clothes, Chen'er, you are injured, come on, go and call ・・・・・・."

"Mother, this blood is not the son's, it is frightening, it is crazy today, the son can't do it, kill it. "Shocking wind is the name of Wu Jingchen's horse.

Mrs. Wu stared at Wu Jingchen suspiciously, looking up and down again, the frightening wind is her son's most precious horse, he will be displeased if others touch it on weekdays, and today he is willing to kill it, something must have happened.

In order to dispel Mrs. Wu's concerns, Wu Jingchen could only tell the story from beginning to end, and at the end of the day, when he thought of the rumors outside, he didn't believe that there was no wind and waves.

"Mother, my son still has doubts, why are people outside rumoring that I am married to the Liu family?"

Mrs. Wu's heart bulged, staring at the persistence in her son's clear eyes, and sighed in her heart, what should come is still coming.

"That's right, my mother did send the matchmaker to Liu's house to propose marriage, and the person who joined the marriage was your brother. ”

"What? Jingrui, Niang Jingrui, he ・・・・・・"

Outsiders all say that Wu Jingchen is the only son of Wu Zhi County, but they don't know that Wu Zhi County also has a son named Wu Jingrui, who is only one year old from the eldest son.

When Wu Jingrui was a child, she had a high fever for more than ten consecutive days, and finally became a living dead, and she was hung with medicine every day, and Mrs. Wu didn't want outsiders to know that her youngest son had become a living dead, so she claimed that she only had one son.

"Mother, no matter how unbearable the Liu family is, you can't push her to Jingrui, Jingrui he, he ・・・・・・, wouldn't my mother hurt others for a lifetime, if you let others know that we are cheating on marriage, then my father will be ・・・・・・. ”

Wu Jingchen didn't dare to say that Wu Jingrui was a living dead, for fear of making Mrs. Wu sad, so he could only say a word.

Wu Jingrui is a forbidden place in Mrs. Wu's heart, although Wu Jingchen did not have Daoming's younger brother's illness, Mrs. Wu still couldn't help grief, the smile on her face could no longer be hung up, and she pulled the corners of her mouth bitterly.

"Chen'er, how did we cheat on marriage, we have a lot of etiquette when we get married, and besides, she is the daughter of a businessman, and marrying Jingrui as his wife, that is also to promote her. ”

"But, Jingrui ・・・・・・ him"

"No, Jingrui has also grown up, what's wrong with my mother finding a family for him, then Liu's family wants to climb our family, and my mother will fulfill her. Besides, your father has been in Wenxian for a long time, and the Liu family is the only daughter in the family, and with the extent that the rich man Liu and his wife love their daughter, the dowry will be rich at that time. ”

"Mother, how can you have such an idea. Although Wu Jingchen was not ashamed of Liu Rong and wanted to kill that stupid woman, he was familiar with the books of sages since he was a child and practiced the way of a gentleman.

When I heard my mother's despicable thoughts, I suddenly felt unbelievable, is this still the gentle and kind mother?
