Chapter 10: Willing
Chu Yu's leg injury has almost recovered, and in the past few days, Mrs. Chu bought two jade skin creams for her, and the effect was very good after applying them, and the original few hideous scars on her calves disappeared, leaving only a faint red mark, and her snow-white skin was like a newborn baby.
On this day, Chutz was bored in writing in the room, although the memory was gone, but she wrote smoothly, the word "Chutz" was written in smooth small letters, although her words did not seem to be handled well between strokes, but it can be seen that she wrote each word very neatly, obviously practiced for many years.
Xiwu praised: "Miss, this Xiaokai is really beautiful, worthy of being a young lady, she can write so well by self-study!" ”
You must know that Miss was the best at calligraphy, and she has never practiced Xiaokai.
Chutz only praised her in the evening fog, pursed his lips and smiled.
"Miss, Madame is here." The guards outside the house reported to them.
Chutz stood up and greeted, "Mother." ”
But seeing Mrs. Chu's anxious face, she hurriedly entered the house, and the maidservant Ping'er who followed behind her had to walk quickly to catch up.
Before Chu Ci could ask, Mrs. Chu had already held her hand and cried in a low voice.
She was startled, remembering that she had just heard that Xiwu had heard that there was a distinguished guest in the front hall, and she understood everything.
"It's your mother's incompetence that makes you hurt one after another. Today......" Mrs. Chu choked up, and couldn't bear to say any more, but the hand holding Chu Ci gradually tightened.
"It's all Mother's fault, if I hadn't cared about you, you wouldn't have ...... I want to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion! ”
I closed my eyes, even though I was mentally prepared, but my heart was still beating.
"Mother, you say it slowly, it's not your fault what happened before."
Mrs. Chu looked at her daughter's calm appearance and became even more sad, how disappointed was she that she had chosen to commit suicide before?
At that time, she even had the idea of marrying her off as soon as possible......
She regretted it a lot, she only hoped that her daughter could live happily now, the place in the Prime Minister's Mansion that eats people and does not spit out bones, except for the only part of the palace, how should her daughter live after she enters?
But if you don't marry...... Who else can a daughter marry?
"Madame, no! The young master was locked up by the government! At this moment, a guard hurriedly came to report.
"What?!"
Chu Ci supported Mrs. Chu, got into the carriage and came to the gate of the county office, and the county order came to greet him in person.
But this time, the county order only said that Chu Yu was involved in a murder case, and he needed to be detained in prison before the investigation was clear.
Mrs. Chu was frightened, and when she heard that her son might have killed someone, she couldn't say a word.
But it was Chutz who asked: "Since this matter has not been investigated clearly, why should innocent people be imprisoned?" The yamen should also have the rules of the yamen, right? ”
The county order didn't dare to speak, so he only made amends, "We also do things according to the rules, and there is no way to do it." ”
No matter how she asked, the county order was just haha, and in the end, he even said bluntly "how much money we will pay", but he was still indifferent.
In desperation, when he was about to return, the county magistrate quietly approached the carriage and said to Chu Ci: "There are nobles involved in this matter, and your family is afraid that you have offended someone." ”
What else don't you understand? Wei Yiqian came to propose marriage in the morning, and put her brother in prison in the afternoon, which could not be more obvious.
Chu Ci nodded to indicate that he understood, and then stuffed a silver ingot into him, asking him to help appease Chu Yu and not treat him harshly.
When he returned home, Mrs. Chu was about to calm down, and Chu Ci said straightforwardly: "Mother, I am willing to marry Wei Yiqian." ”
