After Chu Shurong's reminder, I probably guessed...

The Liu family must have made concessions on some interests, after all, Liu Xun is also the fifth young master of the Liu family's sect.

Let's not talk about the Liu family, but any woman who can marry the sect, even if the force behind it is not the sect, is also a hegemon.

Therefore, the Zhong family will definitely make a fuss about this matter.

Uncle Wen took me to a courtyard in the house, which was also very chic.

After Uncle Wen asked us to wait at the door for a while, he went in to say goodbye, and after a while, Uncle Wen said to me, "Mrs. Fifth is waiting for you." ”

After hearing Uncle Wen's words, I nodded slightly, and then walked in.

Chu Shurong didn't go in, as soon as I walked in a few steps, Uncle Wen and Chu Shurong began to whisper something.

I wondered what they were talking about, but I couldn't stop and eavesdrop.

With that in mind, I just walked straight in.

At this time, there was already a maid waiting at the door, and to be honest, I was still very curious about this fifth wife...

Because if there is a way to get Zhong Xianzong's sole favor, there must be something to rely on.

Moreover, I heard Grandpa Fan say that there is no prominent background behind the fifth wife. Like my mother in this life, although she is in a side branch, the Feng family can also be regarded as having a certain reputation in Linnan.

"Young Master Zhong, Madame is waiting for you inside." The maid made a gesture of invitation to me.

After following the maid into the house, I saw an elegant woman sitting at a table, making tea.

When she saw me enter the house, the woman got up very gracefully.

The first time I saw this woman, it gave people a very comfortable feeling. It is said that each other is born from the heart, although this woman can't say how beautiful she is, but the whole person gives people a very temperamental feeling.

Although this is the temporary residence of the Zhong family, the house is full of books.

When I saw her, I bowed slightly, and then said to the woman, "Yes, Fifth Lady." ”

"Don't be bound by these understandings, you get up." She also spoke very softly, softly like the fantasy of a classical beauty in my imagination.

As soon as I got up, the Fifth Lady invited me to sit down.

After sitting down at the table, she unhurriedly made me a pot of tea and did not speak.

After a long while, she picked up the teacup, sipped it slightly, and then said to me, "You should know the purpose of my visit to you." ”

I nodded at her, and then said, "I know, the fifth lady wants to see me." If it is suitable, let me be your son. ”

She smiled faintly, and then said, "You can be honest. ”

I smiled awkwardly and didn't pick up.

She then said to me, "What do you think?" ”

"Actually, I didn't want to at first. But entering the sect is necessary for my current situation, so I agreed to the sect master's request. As for adoption, I was resistant at first, after all, my mother was very good to me. Later, the sect master said that it was just a process, and I agreed. "Seeing that Mrs. Fifth doesn't like that kind of flattering person, so I just said what I thought in my heart.

After hearing my words, she was obviously a little surprised, but her face still showed a satisfied expression, and then said to me, "You really dare to say it, aren't you afraid that I will be unhappy?" ”

"Fifth Madam, after all, what I just said is what I have in mind. If I talk about my admiration for you now, or about family affection, it would be a bit false. I replied to the Fifth Lady.

The fifth lady smiled slightly, and then said to me, "Xianzong, what you said is true, you are indeed a little different. ”

"I just thought, since I'm going to succeed you. At the very least, we need to be honest with each other... And the fifth lady, who came here today, seems to be investigating me. I'm also examining you. "I saw that the fifth lady was not the kind of woman who was scheming, so she simply said the truth.

"Oh?" The Fifth Lady was obviously a little surprised, I would say so. He said to me in some surprise.

"Although it is true that I want to join the sect, if the successor is a scheming person who uses me as a bargaining chip, then I will never agree." I said to the Fifth Lady.

After hearing my words, the fifth lady laughed directly, and then looked at me meaningfully and said, "Then do you think I am that kind of person?" ”

I shook my head at the Fifth Lady and said, "It's not..."

"Are you the kind of person who trusts your instincts?" The fifth lady asked me.

I nodded at the Fifth Lady and said, "And my instincts are usually accurate. ”

The Fifth Lady said to me, "Then I'm afraid your intuition is wrong. You must know that if you want to survive in the sect, you must have some scheming and means. ”

"Fifth lady, this is natural, but you know what I mean?" I replied to the Fifth Lady.

The fifth lady said to me, "I'm afraid you don't know, why Hyunzong wants to pass you on to me as a son." ”

"I know that the Sect Master wants me to be your trust." I said to the Fifth Lady.

The fifth lady said with some surprise this time, "It seems that you really did your homework." ”

I said to the Fifth Lady, "This is nature. ”

"Now that you have done your homework, you know that I am embattled in the sect, and I have no support except for the sutra. After you take refuge in me, not only will I not be able to give you any help, but you will face many threats, and I will not hide it from you. Previously, Hyunjong had found me a few step-sons. But none of them escaped the doom of death. The fifth lady said to me frankly.

I said to the fifth lady, "Fifth lady, since I have come, I have already made this realization... Actually, seeing you and hearing about your experience, I thought of my mother in Lin'an. I think you know something about my resume. I have spent the last 20 years being persecuted by others. But am I not okay yet? ”

After hearing my words, the fifth lady nodded slightly and said, "Actually, after meeting you, I changed my mind. ”

"You agreed, didn't you?" I asked the Fifth Lady.

The fifth lady shook her head at me, and then said to me, "No... I don't want to take you as a step-son. ”

I looked at the fifth lady with some puzzlement, because from her expression, I could see that she liked me quite a lot.
