Chapter 17: Prettier Than You
readx;
The demon looked at Chu Nan pitifully, and shouted with a crying voice: "Daddy hug, the demon is afraid of ......"
The room was silent for a moment, and even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard, and everyone was frightened by the title of the demon, could it be that this was Chu Nan's illegitimate daughter who fell outside?
Chu Nan laughed dryly, in the quiet room, he was harsh, looking at the stunned people with a little headache, his heart was weak, and he said weakly: "It's not like this............"
The old lady looked at the demon without moving, and said lightly: "Nan'er...... What is the origin of this little girl?"
Although the old lady of the Chu family said it easily, but after all, she is the elder of the Chu family, even if she is close to Chu Nan, she can't ignore this matter in front of so many people, no matter what, raising a concubine outside and having an illegitimate daughter is a big or small scandal.

Chu Yuan also looked serious, looked at Chu Nan coldly, and waited for Chu Nan to give an explanation, although the age demon did not look like Chu Nan's daughter, but in the capital, it was not uncommon to marry a wife and have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
In fact, even if the little girl in front of him is really Chu Nan's illegitimate daughter, if it were a different time and place, Chu Yuan would turn a blind eye and pretend not to know, but now that there are so many people in the house, in order to maintain the majesty of the head of the family and the reputation of the Chu family, Chu Nan must be forced to give an explanation.
Chu Nan snorted and looked at the poor demon, and some understood, sure enough, it was trained by Queen Jiang, who was still fierce and domineering outside, and now he looks well-behaved and cute, as for the daddy............ Presumably he offended the demon outside, and now the demon pretends to be pitiful and makes trouble for himself, pinching the demon's little face with hatred, and sure enough, seeing the demon's eyes proud, like a little fox who has succeeded in stealing his mouth, Chu Nan felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, such a young child knows how to play tricks.............
Yangmei's face was a little pale, not only frightened by the demon's words, but also a feeling of being deeply deceived, at this time Yangmei was also panicked, the bitterness in her heart was indescribable, and she also knew that Chu Nan was still hiding a lot of things from herself, and there were many women outside, even if she really brought back such a big daughter............ It's not a big deal...... Chu Yue looked at everyone's reactions, and then looked at Chu Nan with a complicated expression, a little anxious, if he couldn't explain it now, Chu Yuan said that he couldn't let Chu Nan go like this, and he could naturally cover up the past easily, but it would be insulting to put it on the table, so he hurriedly urged: "You are talking............ Anyway, I've got to give an explanation............"
Chu Nan sighed, bent down to pick up the demon and stroked the demon's little face, and said softly: "Yes, the demon is my daughter............"
Yangmei's body stumbled, and she was held by Fang Zheng so that she did not fall.
The Chu family looked dazed, but sneered in his heart, it is too normal for a big family like the Chu family to have an illegitimate daughter in the outer room, but usually no one will really take it seriously, but if you are caught like this, you can't pretend to be confused, especially Chu Nan admitted it so generously, it was like hitting the muzzle of the gun, even if you are favored, no one dares to violate the rules passed down from the ancestors.
Chu Nan saw that everyone's faces were strange, and suddenly laughed, "However, this daughter is not biological, she was recognized before............"
Everyone's faces softened slightly, and Chu Yue said with a wry smile: "Brother, don't play like this, you can't finish the words at once, this joke is not funny." ”
Chu Nan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "The demon is almost six or seven years old this year, how old was I when she was born? At that time, I seemed to be still locked up in the old mansion in Jingzhou, how could it be my own daughter?"
The old lady's expression slowed down a little, if you say so, it is right, Jingzhou is the base camp of the Chu family, even if Chu Nan harmed the girl of whose family at that time, it is impossible to hide it, I have to say that Chu Nan ran away from home a few years ago and disappeared for a long time inexplicably, after all, it is a piece of everyone's heart, Chu Nan has always been tight-lipped, and everyone can't help but be nervous and suspicious, looked at the demon carefully, sighed and said:" The left and right are just children, look at what scares you, even if it is really a man's flesh and blood, it is not a big deal, can you still watch the Chu family's flesh and blood wander outside and suffer?"
Chu Nan smiled slightly, naturally understood that this was a scene, and he deliberately cleared up the meaning for himself, walked over and put the demon on the bed, and said with a smile: "The demon has a hard life, her father died when she was very young, and she recognized me as her father-in-law by mistake, and now that she finally came to the capital, I naturally want to bring it to my grandmother to see, although it is not biological, but it is finally a great-granddaughter." ”
The old lady nodded, looked at the demon who looked very painful, and couldn't help but want to reach out and hug it, but unexpectedly, the demon grabbed Chu Nan's collar desperately, hid in Chu Nan's arms and didn't come out or speak, smiled and touched the demon's scattered pigtails and said, "My name is Xiaoxiao? It's really close to you." Seeing this child reminds me of when Yue'er was young, she had to pester you when she ate and slept, but at that time, Yue'er didn't have this child's well-behaved and cute, sickly ............"
Chu Yue heard the old lady talk about what happened when she was a child, and she had to pester Chu Nan for everything she ate and sleeped, her face was a little unbearable, and she pouted and said angrily: "What does grandma say about this............ I'm already that old............"
Regardless of whether what Chu Nan said was true or false, it was obvious that the old lady had already intended to expose it and not mention it, so everyone naturally would not find themselves bored, and they all said something flattering, and there was a smart and cute child to talk about, and the atmosphere was lively again for a while.
.................................................................................................................. Chu couldn't help but sigh outside the crowd, what a good opportunity it was just now, as long as he seized it, it would be difficult for Chu Nan to raise his head, but unfortunately the old lady was determined to protect Chu Nan, where did anyone dare to say anything, just looking at Chu Nan as soon as he arrived, he immediately became a celebrity in front of the old lady, and he still couldn't help but be a little annoyed, where is my family's An'er worse than Chu Nan in terms of talent, appearance, and conduct, and partiality is not so biased............ The demon still lowered his head and hid in Chu Nan's arms, his bright eyes looked at Chu Nan and smiled lightly, smart and sensitive as a demon who noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere just now, shook his head to avoid the hand that reached over and pinched his cheek, and buried his head in Chu Nan's arms with a cold snort, but unlike this action, it became more and more smart and cute, which caused everyone to laugh.
Since the sick old lady has signs of recovery, it is naturally a happy event worth celebrating, and it is rare for people to come today, and the old lady is very happy to tell Chu Yuan to go down to prepare a family banquet.
Chu knew that these were his own work, where did he dare to hesitate, and hurriedly responded and took someone down to prepare, the old lady looked at Chu is walking away with a faint expression, and did not say anything, turned around and went to tease the demon again.
Walking into the distance, the Chu family still couldn't help but sigh, looking at the old lady's attitude, because of Guo Zhong's incident last time, the old lady's anger has not disappeared, and the daughter-in-law of the big family is difficult to do.
.................................................................................................................. Although the old lady's spirit was much better, and the weather outside was good, no one dared to work the old lady at this time, and no one could afford to take a compromise in case there were any consequences, so she had to take a compromise and let the kitchen people send all the meals to the old lady.
The old lady's residence is naturally the first-class place in the Chu Mansion, and it is clean enough, but after all, the place is not big enough, so it is naturally not good to sit at the table again, the old lady is naturally sitting in the middle, on the right hand side are Chu Yuan and Chu Nan, Chu An, Chu Mad Brothers and others, on the left hand side is Chu Yue, and the queen is Chu's family, Fang Zheng and Yangmei, but it is barely in line with the rules.
The demon is naturally still a common topic for everyone, although the demon almost doesn't speak, but it is also explained by everyone as the reason for being shy and shy, and the appearance is beautiful and cute, and no one can feel bad when they see it.
Except for the Chu family.
The Chu family frowned and looked at the demon, a little disliked, saying that it was the Chu family's family banquet but there was a child of unknown origin, it looked really a little nondescript, a little eye-catching, sometimes inadvertently saw the eyes of the demon, it seemed that he could see the faint arrogance and indifference in it, but this is the Chu family, even if you are a royal princess, you are not qualified to put on such a show.
How could Chu Nan tell the identity of the demon, he had to be vague, and he didn't have the heart to make up any lies, but he just diluted the identity of the Vasai royal family, and didn't hide anything else.
The old lady nodded slightly, and accepted Chu Nan's statement, and casually diverted the topic, naturally signaling that the identity of the demon was revealed.
This made Chu a little unhappy, and he intended to ask a few questions to point out the loopholes in Chu Nan's words, but looking at the old lady's faint expression, he finally put away that careful thought, and instead talked to Chu Nan with a smile on his face, and slowly thought of countermeasures in his heart.
Yangmei happened to sit on the other side of the demon, looking at the beautiful and lovely demon, although she also liked it a little, but when she thought of the demon's voice, her father was still a little uncomfortable in her heart, and when she heard Chu Nan talk about the origin of the demon, a glimmer of light flashed in her mind, and she put the chopsticks and dishes sideways into the small bowl in front of the demon, and watched everyone say something flattering to the old lady in a noisy manner, and pretended to bend over casually and asked the demon softly: "Demon, tell your aunt, your mother............ Isn't it beautiful?" The demon looked at the bayberry a little vigilantly, looked at the bayberry indifferently, lowered his head and did not speak, intentionally or unintentionally distanced himself from the bayberry, looked back at the dignified and beautiful bayberry, snorted coldly and said with some pride: "More beautiful than you............"
Yangmei's heart was sour, and she bit her lip and looked at Chu Nan, her eyes full of resentment.
