Chapter 338: It Became Like This
Chu Nanyue didn't expect Zhou Yuanqi to think like this, and after a long time, she exclaimed: "Okay, it's just that if you meet a woman you like, don't be stumped by these and chase after it bravely." β
Zhou Yuanqi nodded, his face was rarely serious: "Subordinates obey orders!" β
β¦β¦
On the second day, Chu Nanyue hurriedly packed up his things and returned to Jingning Houfu, Chu Nanxin also returned to Houfu today, when he went back, the carriages of the two families happened to meet, Chu Nanyue saw Chu Nanxin slowly being helped by Qingxing to get off the carriage, and he did lose a lot of weight.
Seeing that Chu Nanxin was not particularly favored in the Qi Palace, but now she is afraid that it is even more difficult, she took the initiative to come forward and greet: "How are you doing?" β
Chu Nanxin didn't know about Qingxing going to find Chu Nanyue, and when he heard this, he just smiled weakly: "It's okay, it's just that I have a cold recently, and I am a little unhappy." β
Chu Nanyue nodded, and the two entered the Hou Mansion together.
Second Mrs. Chu had been waiting in the courtyard early, since Chu Nanxin broke up with her, Second Mrs. Chu seemed to have lost her soul, and was ridiculed by her concubine, although one daughter was a general and the other daughter was a princess, none of her daughters wanted to come back to see her, and she lived in ridicule all day long, and her mental state was even worse.
She had thought about going over to find Chu Nanyue and Chu Nanxin, and quarreled in Chu Nanyue's mansion every day, but she didn't expect to be secretly taught a lesson by the King of Bei'an, and her mental state has been worse since then.
In Chu Nanyue's opinion, the second lady of Chu is to blame, she has two daughters at home, isn't it good to be with Meimei? Why do you want to make a fuss about these things?
As soon as the second lady saw the two of them coming, she took the initiative to come forward and ask for warmth: "How are you two doing?" I don't know how to go home and take a look. β
Chu Nanxin is used to acting, even if he is unhappy, he also staged a mother-daughter love scene in front of everyone: "I used to take Xiao Shizi every day, but I was too busy, so I couldn't go home to take a look." β
Marquis Chu pinched his beard and nodded with satisfaction, no matter what method was used to get the two of them back, as long as they went home for the New Year, it would not be regarded as a slap in the face of the Marquis of Jingning.
Here Chu Nanxin and Second Mrs. Chu were talking, but Chu Nanyue didn't say a word over there, she only understood why Chu Nanxin was more favored than herself since she was a child, and she really couldn't learn this habit of acting.
Over there, Mrs. Chu has become more and more emaciated since Chu Nanxuan died, and she doesn't know about the world, originally she didn't want to come today, but Marquis Chu had to ask her to come, she could only stand outside, watching these people talk coldly.
For a long time, she set her eyes on Chu Nanyue, her expression was cold, she didn't believe that Chu Nanxuan was rumored to be arbitrary and bent on dying, in her heart, it had always been Chu Nanyue who killed Chu Nanxuan, and she had never had the opportunity to contact Chu Nanyue before, but at this time, she was already faintly excited in her heart, she was determined to pay for Chu Nanyue's life!
This family, although they are smiling on the surface, but they have their own ghosts in their hearts, which is really interesting!
Marquis Chu just wanted to ask Chu Nanyue how he was, because in his opinion, if Chu Nanyue could support the Marquis of Jingning, then the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion would be able to rejuvenate.
Chu Nanyue directly interrupted the words of Marquis Chu: "It's too stuffy in the house, I'll go out for a walk." β
Chu Houye's mouth just opened and closed it stiffly, he nodded in agreement, and Chu Nanyue hurriedly went out.
How could she not know the reason why Marquis Chu Fei let herself come back this time? Jingning Hou's Mansion is no longer good, although it still maintains the prosperity on the surface, but it is only a strong faΓ§ade, in this house, only Jingning Houkong has a Hou Ye's title, plus some fiefs, in fact, it is no different from ordinary people.
Chu Nanyue took a hard breath of the outside air, the air inside was too turbid, she looked at the plum blossoms in the Hou Mansion, and sighed in her heart, I didn't expect the people in the Hou Mansion to be so bad, but the plum blossoms bloomed just right.
"Miss!" was appreciating the plums, when I saw a little maid coming in a hurry and stuffing a stove in Chu Nanyue's hand: "The eldest lady wants the slave maid to bring the stove to the young lady." β
Chu Nanyue's feelings for Mrs. Chu are very complicated, on the one hand, Mrs. Chu raised herself, although she did not have much love, but it is true that her biological mother is not as big as her adoptive mother, so she really can't hate Second Mrs. Chu.
At this moment, when she saw Mrs. Chu showing favor to herself, she just thought that Chu Nanxuan was dead, so Mrs. Chu remembered that she had raised such a daughter, she didn't say anything, just silently took over the stove, and then asked the little maid to go to Mrs. Chu to restore her life.
The little maid saw Chu Nanyue take the stove, so she left happily, Chu Nanyue held the stove, felt the temperature from the stove, a little bit, and her heart softened.
After she had turned around enough, she saw that Chu Nanxin had already returned to the house, and only the elders of the Chu family were left in the house waiting for her to come back in embarrassment.
At this time, Second Mrs. Chu thought that she still had Chu Nanyue's daughter, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said to Chu Nanyue: "Yue'er, let Weiniang see if you have lost weight." β
Chu Nanyue frowned, which made Second Mrs. Chu very embarrassed, her outstretched hand was in the air, and she didn't accept it, and she didn't accept it.
Fortunately, the people of the Chu family were basically in an embarrassing state, and no one said anything, so the Marquis of Chu stepped forward and said: "I heard that you have been slandered for buying and selling official positions recently, I wanted to help you with a relationship, and I also went to find Jingzhao Mansion Yin, who knew that I was just an indisputable Jing Ninghou, and I didn't help you in the end." β
Chu Nanyue looked coldly at Jing Ninghou in front of her, and she said, "I haven't heard of what Marquis Chu has done for me. β
Marquis Chu immediately froze in place in embarrassment, and Father Chu frowned and scolded: "Yue'er! How do you talk to your elders! β
"Elders, you also have to look like elders, if you can't do it yourself, then why should we be filial to our juniors?" Chu Nanyue directly picked out the truth, these words really didn't give face to the people of Chu Mansion.
"Even if you use any means to get me home for the New Year today, it's useless, I won't help the Marquis of Jingning." After she said this, she ignored the embarrassed family present and turned around and left.
Before she left, she heard Second Lady Chu say angrily: "Master Hou, look at it, this kid is not as obedient as Nanxin, now, look at how she talks to Master Hou!" β
Jing Ninghou didn't care about Chu Nanyue, but glared at Second Mrs. Chu: "Shut up!" β
The second lady didn't expect Jing Ninghou to not reprimand Chu Nanyue, but instead reprimanded herself, and subconsciously lowered her head.
Mrs. Chu beside her didn't say a word, and Jing Ninghou beside her sighed.
Last year, this Hou Mansion was still in the market, but now it has become like this.
