marriage contract

Because of the push of someone with a heart, Prince Yu also noticed the slight flaws of Uncle Chu and Second Master Chu, and there were not a few people who wanted to climb up, and worked hard to squeeze these two people out of their positions.

Prince Yu wanted a bigger bargaining chip, but he didn't want his plan to be ruined because of some people, so Uncle Chu and Second Master Chu walked around in front of Prince Yu before being thrown out of his mind again.

After receiving the news, Chu Junyi happily ate half a bowl of rice.

Gu Chengzhi saw it in his eyes, and wondered whether he should try to trick them again.

After the meal, Chu Junyi leaned on the couch, holding a teacup and laughing non-stop.

"So happy?" Gu Chengzhi sat beside him.

"En." Chu Junyi said with a smile: "Originally, the errands that were very secure were ruined. The eldest brother and the second brother were very happy. Not only did they lose face, but they will also calm down a little in the next few days."

The old master Chu and the first master Chu have already boarded the pirate ship, so the existence of the second master Chu and the second master Chu is not that important.

After all, the head of the Chu family is Eldest Chu, and the elder son of Uncle Chu and the second son of Chu can only be regarded as icing on the cake, they are optional, and it is better to use trusted people around them for specific matters.

Old Master Chu and First Master Chu are inconvenient to leave Beijing. Uncle Chu and Second Master Chu have no reason to leave Beijing. It is impossible for Prince Yu to choose them as his confidants. I won't be caught that day, and other things are easy to talk about.

"What are you going to do next?" Gu Chengzhi asked his next plan.

The smile on Chu Junyi's face restrained a bit, and he pondered for a moment before he said, "You said... If grandma knew what grandpa did, what would be her reaction?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Gu Chengzhi's eyes, then he frowned and asked, "You want to tell Mrs. Chu?"

Chu Junyi shook his head and said, "I didn't tell her, but grandma will 'discover' herself."

Gu Chengzhi slowed down his expression a little, and said, "That's fine, anyway, you don't want to come forward yourself."

"I know." Chu Junyi sighed, "As for grandma's reaction... I'm not sure at all, how can I come forward by myself."

"Then have you figured out how to let Mrs. Chu find out about this?" Gu Chengzhi held his hand.

"Not yet." Chu Junyi explained: "Before, most of the people who stared at me were my grandfather and uncle, and I would only take care of other people's affairs when I have free time. I don't know much about my grandmother's situation, so I don't want to act rashly. .”

"It's good that you have a sense of proportion. If you need it, just tell me." Gu Chengzhi said.

Chu Junyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't be polite to you."

The spies who stayed in the Marquis of Ji'an expanded their monitoring scope, and almost brought the masters of the entire Marquis Mansion into view.

Chu Junyi didn't know how to evaluate this old lady. He was not familiar with her before, and even more so now, but he has been observing, trying to find opportunities for the old lady to "discover" those things by herself.

A few days later, Chu Junyi did not wait for the opportunity to come, but waited for Shao Yan and his nephew Shao Hang first.

When Chu Junyi passed by, he also saw Shao Hang. At the age of eight or nine, his appearance was five or six points similar to Shao Yan's, but his complexion was not good, and his spirit was a little listless.

After leaving Shao Hang's room, Chu Junyi frowned and asked, "Are you sick?"

The joy on Shao Yan's face faded a bit, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, "Hang'er developed a high fever after he fell into the water and was rescued. At that time, the illness did not recover quickly, and then it relapsed several times intermittently. The doctor said It's not curable."

Chu Junyi sighed, and asked the guard to invite Yu Ji with his post.

Shao Yan pursed his lips and bowed to Chu Junyi.

Chu Junyi couldn't dodge in time, so he just accepted the gift and sighed: "Why bother?"

"It should be." Shao Yan said in a low voice, "The Shao family... is the only one left."

There are indeed other members of the Shao family, but the relationship is already very distant. The only ones who are closer to the Shao Yan family are the Shao Chang family. Ken adopted their children.

Chu Junyi understood what he meant, so he didn't say anything more.

On the contrary, Zhu Ning found that the atmosphere between the two of them was not quite right, so he wanted to ask when he was puzzled.

But before Zhu Ning could speak, Shao Yan first proposed to take Shao Hang out of Zhu's house.

Zhu Ning was stunned for a moment, then quickly objected, they lived well, why did they leave?

Seeing that the two of them were in a stalemate was not a problem, Chu Junyi asked Shao Yan to meet Yu Ji. Anyway, Yu Ji came to treat Shao Hang's illness, and there was no harm in being courteous.

Shao Yan glanced at him, nodded and turned to leave.

"You two must have something to hide from me!" Zhu Ning said dissatisfied.

Chu Junyi sighed, touched a chair and sat down, and asked helplessly, "Shao Yan is leaving, what do you keep him for?"

"He lives here quite well, why should he leave?" Zhu Ning was full of displeasure.

"This is the Zhu family, not the Shao family. It would be fine if there was only Shao Yan, but now that Shao Hang has found it, it is indeed a bit unseemly to continue to live elsewhere." There is another sentence that Chu Junyi didn't say: Shao Yan It's not that he can't afford the house, it was for Zhu Ning before, but now that his nephew has been found, it's probably a mistake to stay in Zhu's house again.

"But I don't want him to go." Zhu Ning cried sadly.

Chu Junyi was startled when he heard the words, and his eyes swept across Zhu Ning's face a few times. Zhu Ning's eyes and expressions were very normal, just these words... a bit tempting to imagine.

Zhu Ning glanced at his injured foot resentfully, and then said with a bitter face: "If he leaves, who will chat with me, I'm almost bored to death."

Chu Junyi: "..." Well, he thought too much, Zhu Ning still didn't get the hang of it...

"Look for your son to chat with you, or find your daughter to chat with you." Chu Junyi suggested.

Zhu Ning curled his lips and muttered: "It's not that you don't know those boys in my family. They are so skinny that they are going to die. If you drag them over to chat, you won't lift the house cover for me. As for Keke... forget it, I can't bear it." .”

"Then you should take good care of your wounds, read books and practice handwriting if you have nothing to do, it's time to pass the time." Chu Junyi said helplessly: "Shao Yan and Shao Hang are wearing filial piety, even if you don't mind, they do mind Yes, it’s okay to come and sit if you have nothing to do, if you let them continue to live in Zhu’s house, they must feel awkward.”

Zhu Ning muttered to himself for a while, but nodded in agreement. If he wore mourning and lived in someone else's house, he would probably feel uncomfortable too.

"By the way, if Shao Yan wants to leave, where will he live? Why can't he stay in a hotel?" Zhu Ning suddenly thought of this.

Chu Junyi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "I don't know, just ask later."

Yu Ji came to help Shao Hang diagnose the pulse and prescribe a prescription, but was intercepted by Chu Junyi.

Holding the freshly baked prescription for people to grab the medicine, Shao Yan stood in the courtyard for a while, then turned around and turned to Zhu Ning.

"You don't need to be in a hurry to move out. It's not so easy to find a suitable house. Why don't you go to live in a hotel?" Zhu Ning tried his best to persuade them to stay for a few more days.

Shao Yan smiled, and said in a low voice: "The house has been bought, and you can move in anytime."

Zhu Ning was slightly stunned, and muttered: "When did it happen?" Why didn't he know?

"Before leaving Beijing." Shao Yan looked at him, his eyes softened a little, "I bought the house before leaving Beijing. When I went to find Hang'er, someone cleaned it up, and now it's almost done."

Zhu Ning was silent for a while before saying, "Did you want to leave long ago?"

"No." Shao Yan shook his head, and said slowly: "I didn't have this idea before I found Hang'er's whereabouts, but I found Hang'er, so it's not easy to live here."

He has some friendship with Zhu Ning, and it's not a big deal for Zhu Ning to keep him in Zhu's house, but now that there is another Shao Hang, he still understands the reason why the distant fragrance is near the near stink.

Living in Zhu's house in such an unclear way is not good for him, not good for Shao Hang, and not good for Zhu Ning...

After he went back, he thought about what Chu Junyi said, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense.

He can't be too attached to Zhu Ning, and the distance between them should be properly opened to give each other a suitable space for them to think things through clearly.

Zhu Ning lowered his head and sulked. He felt that Shao Yan was not mean enough and didn't treat him as a friend. If he wanted to leave, he should have said it clearly and bought the house secretly without telling him.

Shao Yan sat beside him, touched Zhu Ning with his elbow, and said in a low voice, "Aren't I afraid that you will think too much? At that time, I wasn't sure if that child was Hang'er. If not, I would definitely Then accompany you."

Zhu Ning snorted coldly and turned her head away from him.

There was a bit of a smile on Shao Yan's face, and he continued: "And the house I bought is nearby, if you want to find me, just turn a corner and get there."

Hearing this, Zhu Ning tilted his head slightly and gave him a sideways look from the corner of his eyes.

"I'm serious, Mr. Liu next door has already left for his hometown, and I bought his house." Shao Yan said with a smile: "We are still neighbors."

Zhu Ning's face softened a little, and then curled his lips, dissatisfied: "If you have something to do, you should tell me directly, is it necessary? I didn't hide anything from you."

"It's my fault." Shao Yan said with a good temper.

"Okay, you can move if you want, just let me know if you need it." Zhu Ning muttered, his expression couldn't be more normal.

Shao Yan nodded with a smile, and said a few more words with him before getting up and leaving.

After walking out of the room, Shao Yan sighed softly, sure enough...he still doesn't understand.

Yu Ji, who was on a medical visit, was entangled by Chu Junyi for a long time before he was able to escape. The best way for Chu Junyi to trap the Chu family in the mansion was to use medicine.

If Mrs. Chu's way doesn't work, she can only use coercive means.

As time passed day by day, Mrs. Chu also found out the clues. Chu Junyi saw the timing and delivered all the things to her, but Mrs. Chu's next move was silence.

Chu Junyi let out a long sigh and put the matter aside.

At the end of July, on the day of Master Chu's death, after worshiping the spiritual throne, Chu Junyi received a letter from Mrs. Chu, saying that he was asked to come over tomorrow.

Chu Junyi really didn't expect Mrs. Chu to choose this day, and she still used this reason to ask him to go back.

"Go?" Gu Chengzhi asked with a frown.

"Go, of course." Chu Junyi lowered his eyes and said: "Father entrusted the dream to grandma, and grandma asked me to go there, how could I not go?"

Gu Chengzhi thought about it: "Why do you think the old lady told you to go back?"

"I don't know." Chu Junyi shook his head and said, "Anyway, it won't be just reminiscing about the past."

"Could it be because of that incident?" Gu Chengzhi continued to ask.

Chu Junyi thought for a while before saying: "It's possible, after all... you have to think about it."

"Take more people." Gu Chengzhi said seriously.

"Do you think this is a fight? No matter how many people go there, they won't be able to enter the inner courtyard." Chu Junyi gave him a blank look.

Gu Chengzhi's face darkened.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Chu Junyi propped his chin with one hand, put the other hand on the table, tapped the table with his fingers, and said casually: "In the afternoon, my grandfather went out to meet friends. Law, he took a lot of face off."
