Lord of Fortune

Seeing what Chu Chen said so righteously, Chu Tongzhi seemed to understand something for a moment: "Are you deliberately digging a hole for me to jump in?"

"Father thinks whatever he wants." Chu Chen said, "Now that I've been conferred the title of Marquis of Wu'an, I don't know how many people in the court are staring at me. I don't know how to give people a handle. did it."

What Chu Chen said was not an excuse, it was the reality.Those who are cautious in their words and deeds, or those who love their son, will not promise anything indiscriminately at this juncture, and cause trouble for their son.Chu Tongzhi asked Chu Chen like this, which also proved that he didn't take Chu Chen, his son, at all.

That being the case, Chu Chen no longer needs to be polite to Chu Tongzhi.

Chu Tongzhi felt that he had been fooled by Chu Chen, and he was angry: "If you don't follow through, aren't you afraid that I will tell people that you are not filial?"

"Please go ahead. My 'filial piety' to my father is now well known. My father wants to ruin my reputation outside, and I have to see if anyone believes it. In the future, if my father finds me for this kind of thing again, I won't accompany you anymore." Chu Chen said coldly.

Chu Tongzhi now has the heart to strangle Chu Chen to death, but he knows what Chu Chen said is right, and he has nothing to do with him.

The father and son eventually broke up.

As soon as Chu Tongzhi got home, he went to Mrs. Chu to complain.No matter how much he has an opinion on Mrs. Chu, he has to admit that Mrs. Chu is the only one he can confide in now.

Mrs. Chu was no longer the person who was anxious about what Chu Tongzhi wanted and felt what Chu Tongzhi felt.Even if she chooses to help Chu Tongzhi, it is out of her own interests, not for Chu Tongzhi himself.

After hearing this, she asked calmly: "What is the master going to do? Although our family seems to have regained its vitality now, it is only through Brother Chen's light. If outsiders know, Brother Chen is not I value the master so much, I am afraid that I will leave the master again."

Chu Tongzhi was troubled here precisely because he didn't know what to do.

After the experience of being sought after by others, Chu Tongzhi absolutely couldn't bear to go back to the days when no one cared about him and was targeted and excluded.

"Brother Chen doesn't eat oil and salt now, and doesn't eat soft and hard things. I really can't do anything about him. Otherwise, let's go find Han Mengqin again? If she can help us persuade Brother Chen, maybe things will turn around .”

When Mrs. Chu heard this, she couldn't help but want to laugh: "Could it be that the master forgot that after Brother Chen joined the army, we tried to establish a good relationship with Han Mengqin, but Han Mengqin refused? Han Mengqin has always been kind to us. If you dismiss it, why would you speak up for us in front of Brother Chen?"

"Hey, it would be fine if Brother Chen didn't like Han Mengqin. If Brother Chen didn't like Han Mengqin, the master's plan might be effective."

When Chu Tongzhi heard the words, his eyes lit up, but they quickly darkened again.

"Putting people around Brother Chen, I'm afraid it won't work. Last time, Governor Jiang wanted to give Brother Chen the dancer girl that the family thought was sex-art-shuang-xin, but Brother Chen didn't give Governor Jiang any face. Yes We, Brother Chen, will not have any scruples."

"When did I say that I was going to put a dancer on for Brother Chen? The dancer's status is low, even if he was lucky enough to get into Brother Chen's eyes. With Han Mengqin's means, it is also a matter of getting rid of a dancer." Very easy. Look, sir—how is my niece?"

When talking about the girl from the Xu family, Chu Tongzhi immediately thought of Xu Jiaxin, and he shook his head repeatedly: "Xu Jiaxin can't do it, she made troubles before, Brother Chen already hates her very much. Stupid, it would be nice not to hold us back, but I dare not expect her to help."

"I'm not talking about Sister Xin, but my eldest niece, Sister Yi. You have seen Sister Yi before. Although she is not as good-looking as Sister Xin, she is still pretty. In terms of temperament, Sister Yi is better than Xin. My sister is ten times better, and she has always been smart. If we promote her, she will definitely repay us."

Chu Tongzhi thought about it carefully: "Is Xu Jiayi? She is steady. You want to tell her to be a concubine for brother Chen?"

"In terms of status, Sister Yi is just a concubine, while Brother Chen is now Lord Marquis. Sister Yi is more fortunate to be the second wife of Brother Chen."

Nice idea, but...

"I'm afraid Han Mengqin won't agree, and Brother Chen won't agree either."

"Then let them have to agree." Mrs. Chu raised her eyebrows, with a cold expression on her face: "If something happened to Miss Yi, Brother Chen's reputation would be ruined... Brother Chen can't look at Yi Sister was forced to death by gossip, right?"

"You can figure it out, it doesn't hurt to try." Chu Tongzhi looked indifferent.Anyway, it's not my own daughter, even if it fails, don't feel bad.

Mrs. Chu soon found her brother and told him about it.

When Mrs. Chu was just ordered to leave, the Xu family basically didn't have much contact with her, for fear of being implicated by her.But now, the Xu family has been deprived of their title, but the Chu family has a capable son. The situation is immediately different.

This time, Master Xu warmly received Mrs. Chu.

Mr. Xu is currently at home, and he doesn't know what to do. Mrs. Chu gave Mr. Xu a ladder to climb up. Naturally, Mr. Xu would not refuse: "Just do what my sister says, it's all up to my sister .”

On the contrary, Mrs. Xu and Xu Jiaxin's mother and daughter were very dissatisfied after knowing Mrs. Chu's intentions.

Xu Jiayi is just a concubine, if there is such a good thing, why should Xu Jiayi be taken advantage of and not let Xu Jiaxin go?

"Sister Yi is a concubine, it's just right to be the second wife of the Marquis of Wu'an, why should Sister Xin join in the fun!" Master Xu said angrily.Why, he is not the Marquis of Yongning now, the arrogance he had back then is still there!

"Second wife is fine too! Marquis Wu'an's status is not what it used to be. Even being his concubine is better than marrying a commoner." Now the status of the Xu family is quite embarrassing, and ordinary officials and officials are not willing to marry the Xu family. daughter or marry his own daughter into the Xu family.If it is a last resort, being a noble concubine is also a way out.

Mrs. Chu felt uncomfortable being robbed by Mrs. Xu so much, and she immediately retorted: "Sister-in-law is willing to send her daughter, it depends on whether she is willing to accept it. I didn't say it—— Sister Xin's temperament, if she will When she sent it to Brother Chen, it was not to marry Brother Chen, but to make enemies with Brother Chen!"

When Mr. Xu heard this, he immediately thought of the good deeds that Mrs. Xu and Xu Jiaxin's mother and daughter had done, and immediately said: "Okay, this matter is settled! This is the last chance for my Xu family to recover. neglect!"

As he said that, he glared gloomily at Mrs. Xu's mother and daughter who were still about to refute: "If you hadn't made up your minds, my Xu family would not have fallen to where it is today, and there will be no room for you to speak in this family in the future! "

Mrs. Chu smiled brightly when she saw Mrs. Xu's embarrassed appearance.

The Chu family and the Xu family have come to this point, and neither family can afford to lose.In order to plot against Chu Chen, Mrs. Chu and the Xu family made a careful plan.

Unfortunately, almost all the people around Mrs. Chu were bribed by Chu Chen.As soon as Mrs. Chu discussed with Master Xu, Chu Chen knew the content of their plan.

Although Chu Chen really wanted to just play tricks like this and make Chu Tongzhi and Mrs. Chu bear the reputation of being unkind, but this matter related to his "innocence", he still had to inform Han Mengqin in advance.

After Han Mengqin learned of Mrs. Chu's plan, she smiled coldly: "Since they have set up the stage, why don't we help them invite more audiences to watch their performance?"

On the same day, Chu Tongzhi asked Chu Chen to go to the most prestigious local temple to pray for him in the name of being unwell. As a "filial son", Chu Chen naturally agreed.

Originally, everything was going according to the plan of Mrs. Chu and Chu Tongzhi, but after Han Mengqin heard about it, she did not know what medicine she had taken wrongly, and she was going to go to that temple. In her words: "If It's fine if I don't know about it, since I know, then no matter what, I must do my best for Master Chu."

When everyone thought that Chu Tongzhi was Han Mengqin's future father-in-law, they immediately felt that this was reasonable, and that it was right to be filial to the future father-in-law.

Chu Chen and Han Mengqin deserved to be an unmarried couple, even their temperaments were so similar, even though the elders in the family treated them badly, they still repaid their grievances with kindness and filial piety to their elders, both of them were generous people.

After Han Mengqin expressed his opinion, several official girls who had been close to Han Mengqin recently also said that they were going to ask for amulets for their elders, and they decided to go with Han Mengqin.Han Mengqin was planning to go with Chu Chen, but now, it's not easy for her to leave these official girls behind.

After Chu Tongzhi heard the news, he felt a little uneasy: "Shall we still come according to the original plan?"

"Just follow the original plan. Han Mengqin won't go with Chu Chen anyway." Mrs. Chu gritted her teeth: "In order to make Chu Chen agree to go to the temple, you went to the temple on purpose, and you forced yourself to I got sick from tossing around. If I can't succeed this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find such an opportunity in the future..."

Besides, even if they had the intention to quit, the Xu family might not be willing to quit.

On the day of praying for blessings, not long after Chu Chen set off, Han Mengqin deliberately set off an hour late, and then set off with a few official girls.

The temple is built on the top of the mountain. When the carriage reaches the foot of the mountain, it is not easy to go up, so you can only get off the carriage and walk.It is quite hard to climb all the way up, so going to this temple to pray for blessings is generally considered by the outside world as an expression of sincerity.

When Han Mengqin and others were about to climb to the top of the mountain, they happened to see an anxious Xu Jiayi wandering on the only way to the temple.

"What's wrong with her?" The girls who came with Han Mengqin were not fools, so they naturally saw that something was wrong with Xu Jiayi.

Xu Jiaxin has always been arrogant and unlovable, but they don't have any ill feeling towards Xu Jiayi, and even have some sympathy.After all, as a concubine, Xu Jiayi has always been bullied by her own sister.

"Maybe she has encountered some difficulties, should we go and have a look?"

"Don't worry, just wait." Han Mengqin stopped the official girls who were about to come forward.

Soon, they knew why Xu Jiayi had such a reaction.

After seeing Chu Chen and his group who came out of the temple after praying for blessings, Xu Jiayi's eyes lit up. When Chu Chen and his group passed by her, she stepped on the ground, tilted her body, and rushed towards Chu Chen...
