Lord of Fortune

When Chu Tongzhi and Mrs. Chu had just returned to the mansion, there was a quarrel.

Chu Tongzhi complained that Mrs. Chu could not provide him with help, it would only hinder him, and it also caused him to drift away from Chu Chen, a promising son.Mrs. Chu felt cold for Chu Tongzhi's ruthless behavior of shirking responsibility when something happened.

She admitted that she did have selfish motives.Who doesn't want to leave the best for their own children, how many step-wives can truly treat the children born to their ex-wife as their own?When she first got married, she didn't dare to go too far.If it weren't for Chu Tongzhi's acquiescence, she wouldn't have become more blatant and outrageous.

From Mrs. Chu's point of view, even without her, from the moment Mrs. Chu passed away and the Ye family was silent, Chu Tongzhi was destined to drift away from Chu Chen.

Chu Tongzhi imagined that after punishing Mrs. Chu severely and venting his anger on Chu Chen, he could restore the father-son relationship with Chu Chen, but Mrs. Chu scoffed at his idea.What Chu Chen hates the most is not her vicious stepmother, but Chu Tongzhi's father, but Chu Tongzhi can't see it, it's really sad.

After Chu Tongzhi slammed the door and left again, Mrs. Chu thought indifferently.

At this moment, a rustling sound rang in my ears, and Chu Yao, who was only seven years old, came to Mrs. Chu's side, crying: "Mother, why are you arguing with your father? Why is your father so cruel to you? "

What's more, his father seems to like him...he doesn't seem to like him as much as before.

Children are the most sensitive to emotions.In the past, Chu Tongzhi had high hopes for Chu Yao and devoted a lot of energy to him every day, but recently he has become more and more perfunctory to him.When Chu Yao occasionally went to Chu Tongzhi for advice on his homework, Chu Yao felt terrible about Chu Tongzhi's impatient expression.

For Chu Yao, this has never happened before.The word father, in Chu Yao's heart, suddenly changed from patient and kind to harsh and indifferent.

Mrs. Chu hugged her youngest son Chu Yao in her arms: "Your father is just in a bad mood, he is just a selfish bastard!"

"I hate him, he makes Auntie sad! Recently, whenever he looks for Aunt, he will fight with Aunt!"

Seeing that her son was so sensible, Mrs. Chu knew that she felt sorry for herself at such a young age, so she couldn't help hugging her son even tighter, and she finally got a little comfort in her heart.

She said in a low voice: "Your father is hopeless. A Yao, A Niang will only have you from now on."

"Don't worry, Madam, I will grow up soon, and I will protect you and my sister!" Chu Chen raised his head and looked at Mrs. Chu firmly.

Chu Tongzhi, who was immersed in joy, hadn't realized that, before he knew it, everyone in his family had separated from him.

"We will move to live with your elder brother in the near future. A Niang... I have done some things to offend your elder brother. I am afraid your elder brother will not treat us very well. At that time, you should be more sensible and don't Make your brother angry."

Hearing this, Chu Yao wrinkled his small face tightly: "Isn't it great that we live here now? Why do we move to my elder brother's place?"

Influenced by Chu Tongzhi and Mrs. Chu, Chu Yao didn't have a good impression of his elder brother who was 12 years older than him.

In the heart of Chu Yao in the past, Chu Chen was a libertine who didn't obey his parents, didn't respect his teachers, and even wanted to cheat in the imperial examinations. Because of this, his father and mother kicked him out of the house.If it wasn't for the recent news that Chu Chen had made great military exploits for Da Qi at the border, and that he had returned as a marquis and general, I am afraid that Chu Yao would still treat Chu Chen that way.

When Mrs. Chu heard this, her heart felt sore.Everyone wants to be perfect in the hearts of their children.If it weren't for the fact that they would have to rely on others to live their lives, Mrs. Chu probably wouldn't have told Chu Yao about this.

However, at this point, there is no point in deceiving yourself and others.

"Ah Yao, you heard from Aniang that your father offended someone, and life in our family has been very difficult recently. Only by going to your elder brother, people outside will not dare to bully us. As long as we live in Wu'anhou's mansion , you will be able to get the protection of your elder brother. At that time, you have to find a way to make your elder brother like you. If your elder brother is willing to contribute two or three points to your future, A Niang will not have to worry..."

Mrs. Chu spoke quite emotionally, but Chu Yao was very disgusted when she heard it.He really couldn't please someone he hated very much not long ago!

In some respects, Mrs. Chu deserves to be Chu Tongzhi's wife.In some respects, their behavior is really the same.

It was a month later that the Chu family officially moved into the Hou Mansion.

This mansion that originally belonged to the Marquis of Yongning did not undergo much change after it became the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion.

As the Xu family's son-in-law, Chu Tongzhi has visited this mansion quite a few times. Every time he comes, Mrs. Yongning Hou will mention every plant and tree in this mansion to him in words that seem affectionate but imply showing off.But now, this mansion has become the Chu family's!

This idea made Chu Tongzhi feel complacent.

After visiting the Hou Mansion as the master, Chu Tongzhi asked the servant Chu Chen had found: "When will the young master come back?"

The young man said with a straight face: "Reporting to Master, Lord Hou usually doesn't live here. The emperor bestowed two mansions, and Lord Hou said that the houses should not be left empty. The Marquis of Wu'an lived in the mansion, and he lived in another mansion." Among them, that mansion is also very close to the place where Lord Hou handles official business."

Chu Tongzhi couldn't believe it.

It is good that Emperor Chongde bestowed several houses in one go, but the other local house is just a small house with two entrances and two exits, which is not comparable to the Hou's Mansion.How could Chu Chen leave the good Hou Mansion and live in a small house instead?

However, the facts are in front of him, and Chu Tong can't help but believe it or not.

Chu Chen did "forgive" Chu Tongzhi, announcing in front of everyone that no matter what Chu Tongzhi did to him, he was always his father, and he would not blame him.Emperor Chongde bestowed two houses in the local area, and it was not possible to leave them empty, so Chu Chen lived in the small house by himself, and gave the large and spacious Hou Mansion to Chu Tongzhi.

Everyone envied Chu Tongzhi very much. He was so filial to him even though he was obviously not good to his son.Although Chu Tongzhi was quite disgusting, but with Chu Chen around, as long as Chu Chen received the Holy Family, Chu Tongzhi's position would be secure.

As an object of envy, Chu Tongzhi knew his own affairs.

Not long after moving to Marquis Wu'an's Mansion, Chu Tongzhi discovered that the life here was completely different from what he had imagined.

Chu Chen feeds the whole family of the Chu family with good food and drink. If there is any good thing, Chu Chen will not be stingy with Chu Tongzhi and Mrs. Chu.But the servants of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion only listened to Chu Chen's words and did not regard Chu Tongzhi and Mrs. Chu as their masters.

If Chu Tongzhi and Mrs. Chu had any reasonable orders, of course they would listen.Whenever Chu Tongzhi and Mrs. Chu had anything out of the ordinary, they would turn a deaf ear to Chu Tongzhi and Mrs. Chu's orders.Obviously, before being sent to serve the Chu family, Chu Chen had given them a good account.

Today, the situation of the Chu family is similar to that of the Han family.Only Chu Tongzhi was able to freely enter and leave the Hou's mansion. Mrs. Chu and other female relatives had to report to Marquis Wu'an before they could go out.Although the life in this mansion is exquisite and elegant, it is also cold and harsh, making it suffocating.

Rather than saying this is a marquis' mansion, it is better to say that this is a gorgeous prison-cage.

After discovering this, Chu Tongzhi was very angry, thinking that Chu Chen had lied to him: "You son of a bitch! It's really unreasonable to treat me like this!"

Chu Tongzhi could only say this at home, if he said it outside, others would call him a monster again.

Now Chu Chen is a hero of Da Qi, and also a filial son in the eyes of many people.Chu Tongzhi knew that if his father with a criminal record spoke ill of Chu Chen, no one would believe him.

As long as Chu Tongzhi thinks that his colleagues around him are congratulating his son for his filial piety and allowing him to live an unprecedented "good life", he will feel aggrieved: "I can't go on like this, I have to let everyone see, He's just doing superficial things."

Mrs. Chu soon understood Chu Tongzhi's attitude, but she didn't stop her.

Mrs. Chu's original plan was to use the opportunity of them living with Chu Chen to gain some favorability in front of Chu Chen, and let outsiders think that they had a lot of face in front of Chu Chen.But now Chu Chen doesn't even return to the Hou's residence, which is not in Mrs. Chu's interest.

Although Mrs. Chu was worried that Chu Tongzhi would annoy Chu Chen because of his insignificant actions, after weighing the pros and cons, she still chose to stand on the same front with Chu Tongzhi.Of course, Mrs. Chu will regret her laissez-faire in a short time.This is something to say later, let's not mention it for the time being.

The opportunity that Chu Tongzhi was waiting for soon came.

On the day of Governor Jiang's birthday, he also invited Chu Tongzhi, Chu Chen and his son to the door.

It is well known that Governor Jiang and Chu Chen did not get along very well.Therefore, when Chu Tongzhi came to the door, he didn't get any good looks from Governor Jiang at all.But soon, Chu Tongzhi had some private conversations with Governor Jiang, and Governor Jiang warmed up to Chu Tongzhi.

At the birthday banquet, Governor Jiang specially ordered his son to come out. While entertaining the guests, his son did not forget to serve him and was very considerate.

Seeing this, others praised Governor Jiang for being blessed to have such a capable and filial son.

Governor Jiang smiled and said, "You guys think too highly of my boy. In terms of good fortune, who can compare with Brother Chu? Who doesn't know that Marquis Wu An is extremely filial. If Marquis Wu An is allowed to do this job Come and do it, it must be better and more detailed than my kid."

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help turning their eyes to Chu Chen.Everyone knows that the father-son relationship between Chu Chen and Chu Tongzhi is not good. It is one thing for Chu Chen to be filial. You know, no one will believe it.

At this time, everyone's attention was focused on Chu Chen.
