Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 176
Chu Xing's voice was not high, but it was concise enough to be rude.

It was the first time in Mrs. Tai's life that her eldest grandson spoke to her in such a cold tone. She stared at her with wide eyes, as if she wanted to see what had changed in her, and she seemed to hope that her eldest grandson would realize his I'm sorry, I take back my previous indifferent words.

But Chu Xing didn't look at the two elders, he turned to Chu Sui, his eyes were full of embarrassment, "Second brother, how do you choose?"

Chu Sui has only one elder brother. Since he was a child, he likes to follow behind his elder brother. He has caused many disasters and is used to letting his elder brother clean up the mess for him. For example, when he was naughty and beat people when he was young, he dared not tell his father. Although he is in his early years, but he is used to accepting his elder brother's help, Chu Sui also respects this elder brother and is willing to obey his elder brother's admonition and arrangement.

What's more, he didn't want his elder brother to raise his son for him. Before, he felt that the words of the two elders made sense. Now that his elder brother refused, Chu Sui naturally knew how to choose.

"I……"

"Wait." Seeing that the second grandson was about to change his words, Mrs. Tai suddenly spoke up, signaling the second grandson to shut up first. She asked the eldest grandson seriously, "Shijin, why don't you tell grandma first?" A pair of cloudy eyes Staring at the eldest grandson closely, his withered lips were tightly pressed, like a censor in the court, ready to refute at any time.

In Mrs. Tai's heart, letting her eldest grandson recognize Brother Run really kills two birds with one stone.

First of all, the heirs of the Chu family are not prosperous. Both grandchildren are in their 20s, and there is not even a boy. Brother Run is beautiful and intelligent. Mrs. Tai is really reluctant to raise the children outside.He was brought into the mansion and raised under the knees of his eldest grandson. Although he couldn't recognize his biological father, he was still able to study and practice martial arts as a concubine of the Chu family, and he was pampered since childhood.

Secondly, since the eldest grandson recognized Brother Run, the family would not have to offend Empress Wan, nor would it affect the relationship between the eldest granddaughter and the prince.As for the Lu family, Mrs. Tai was willing to make friends with the Lu family before because she hoped that the Lu family would support her grandson-in-law King Qing. Now that Lu Yun only favors the harem and has another child, it is the Duke's Mansion who treats the Lu family as a bodhisattva. That said, if something happens in the future, the Lu family will not stand on the side of the grandson-in-law.Since it is doomed not to win over the Lu family, so what if you offend him a little?Lu Mingyu couldn't get pregnant, as long as the Chu family told her the truth, I believe that Lu Mingyu would have no face because Brother Run had a falling out with his eldest grandson, as long as Lu Mingyu behaved peacefully, the Lu family would have nothing to do with helping their daughter out.Lu Zhan could bully the Yao family, but the Duke of Chu's mansion was not where he wanted to act wildly. In terms of the foundation in the capital, the Lu family was far inferior to the Chu family.

In addition, Mrs. Tai also has a second thought, which is to persuade the eldest grandson to conceal the truth from Lu Mingyu on the grounds of confidentiality, so that Lu Mingyu can misunderstand that brother Run is really the eldest grandson's flesh and blood. Gradually estranged, the eldest grandson will continue to be relatives with his own family.

Mrs. Tai thinks she understands the eldest grandson, the elder grandson's brotherly relationship, as long as it is said that these are for the benefit of his second brother, the eldest grandson will agree, no matter how loving the wife is, how can a woman who can't continue the incense for the Chu family surpass the love of flesh and blood?But Mrs. Tai didn't expect that the eldest grandson refused when she just started a conversation, and she refused so simply.

"Shijin is afraid that Ah Nuan will not agree?" After asking, Mrs. Tai sighed, "Grandmother is also for Ah Nuan's good..."

"It has nothing to do with Ah Nuan, it's because I don't want to mess up my seniority." His eyes fell on his grandmother's face, Chu Xing's tone softened a little, and he frowned and asked back: "Grandma, I don't understand, since you like that child, let the second brother Just admit it, why do you have to embarrass me? My grandson has followed the teachings of his grandfather and grandmother since he was a child, and he has never done anything wrong. You let me recognize that child, aren’t you telling the whole capital that I have failed a woman? My second brother has already married and established a business. He made a mistake in his errand, I will help him, but this kind of romantic debt, forgive me."

Chu Sui was so ashamed, but Mrs. Tai always paid attention to him, and didn't give him a chance to blame herself, so she rushed to say: "Grandmother can't help it, your second brother just got married, now recognize Brother Run, sister What should I do if my son is crying? Shu'er is not as stable as Ah Nuan, if the trouble comes in front of the queen..."

Chu Xing has been looking at Mrs. Tai, and when he heard this, Chu Xing suddenly had a guess in his heart.To make sure, he didn't remind his grandmother Wanshu that the queen who fell out of favor was behind her, and his wife was the emperor's favorite niece. Instead, he comforted him in a low voice: "Grandma is afraid that the queen will scold my younger brother? Then grandma is worrying too much. The queen has always been virtuous." Benevolent, as long as the second brother sincerely admits his mistakes and promises to treat his younger siblings kindly in the future, the queen will not care about a child."

Mrs. Tai secretly clenched her hands. If the eldest grandson said so, she would be worried that Queen Wan would be unhappy, but she would imply that Queen Wan was not as virtuous and kind as she had shown.This road is dead, and Mrs. Tai has to tell her eldest grandson what she cares about the most, "Grandmother is worried about Yin Yin, Shi Qian recognized brother Run, and as the elder brother, the prince will be dissatisfied with my cousin being wronged in our house, Turning around and turning your anger on your sister? You are the elder brother, don't you understand the deep love between brother and sister?"

After hearing this, Chu Xing's expression turned colder.

The grandmother knew that his wife was backed by the emperor, but she was not afraid of offending the emperor. She would rather let her be wronged than offend Empress Wan. She regarded Empress Wan and King Qing so highly, so if King Qing had any demands in the future, would grandma also agree? Try to help?
If it's just a simple family matter, Chu Xing is willing to follow the temptation and explain the truth to the elders, but the grandmother shows signs of standing up, Chu Xing must not condone it.

"My younger brother and sister were wronged, and my grandmother was worried that King Qing would support her and anger my younger sister. According to my grandmother's opinion, if King Qing arranges errands for our brothers in the future, in order for my younger sister to live a happy life in the palace, our brothers must do our best. Violation?"

Chu Xing stood solemnly, and when he spoke, his phoenix eyes glanced coldly at Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Chu, and finally settled on Chu's body.

At this moment, he is not the eldest grandson, nephew, or anyone's elder brother, he is just the Duke of Chu.

Chu Xing was stern outside, but when he returned home, although he was not warm and joking with his relatives, he had a peaceful face, respectful and polite in front of his elders, and responsive to his younger brothers and sisters.Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Chu are used to his easy-going side, and now they suddenly face the majestic and intimidating Duke of Chu, and both of them feel a chill in their hearts.

Chu Sui had been reprimanded by his elder brother a lot, and he was most familiar with his cold and stern appearance, so he recovered the fastest at this time.Realizing that grandmother and mother might have dangerous thoughts in their hearts, Chu Sui stepped up to his elder brother, and said to the elders with firm eyes: "Grandmother, mother, we men in the Chu family have always been loyal to the emperor and will not be led by the nose by anyone." Let's go, don't worry, as long as I stand firm with my brother, I won't be afraid of anyone. I was impulsive when I was young, and I made Shu'er wronged. If my brother-in-law is dissatisfied, he will punish me even if he punishes me. But if my brother-in-law makes my sister look bad because of this, then the Chu family will not stand by and watch."

He only called Qing Wang's brother-in-law, but didn't treat him as a prince.

To put it bluntly, King Qing really wanted to use the Duke's Mansion to help him ascend the throne, so he should treat his sister kindly instead of using her to restrain them.If a prince doesn't even know how to win over capable ministers, even if the Chu family bows down and sends him to the throne of God, once the villain succeeds, he is very likely to be instigated by others, and he is not worth relying on.

Chu Sui is not stupid.

However, Chu Xing felt that his cousin was not clear enough, and said bluntly: "The ancestors of the Chu family have taught that the descendants of future generations must not be involved in the disputes between princes. No matter what happens in the future, please grandma and second aunt take the overall situation of our Chu family as the most important thing. Take today’s incident as an example, grandson knows that you only care about my sister, but outsiders don’t know, if someone with a heart uses it to spread the word, accusing the prince of forming a party with the Chu family, putting the Chu family in danger, then my sister will really have no one to rely on.”

Mrs. Tai really hoped that both grandsons would support King Qing, but the eldest grandson really overwhelmed the hat of "forming a party for personal gain". Princess, there is no other meaning.

After all, it was the grandmother who brought him up single-handedly. It is time to wake up. Chu Xing bowed to his grandmother and aunt, asking the elders to forgive him for his rudeness just now.Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Chu's faces turned pale and covered in sweat after being taught by him, how could they dare to play the role of elders, so they hurriedly called him up.

Chu Xing straightened his waist, was polite to the elders, turned his head and glared at Chu Sui again, "You follow me to see the second uncle." He is a grandson with his grandmother, separated by a floor, and it is even more inconvenient for him to speak harshly with his aunt. If it were the second uncle, one would be the mother and the other would be the wife, so he wouldn't have so many scruples.

In addition, Chu Xing also wanted to test his second uncle's mind.

The Second Master Chu also stayed at home today. When the Chu Xing brothers came over, he had just come back from the outside and was about to take a shower and change clothes. He heard that his son and nephew had come together. younger generation.

Chu Xing sent the servants away and made a brief statement.

The second master Chu could hear his eyebrows twitching.Compared with the careful thinking of the old mother and wife, it is nothing for a son to have a wife.Perhaps he had been confused at times, occasionally fantasizing about whether his daughter might become a queen, but today his nephew clearly expressed his attitude, and the second master Chu immediately put away those fantasies.

The daughter's future is definitely not as prosperous as the Chu family's. Although Chu Xing is his nephew, the second master Chu feels ashamed to be in charge of the family.The nephew is the head of the family, and he doesn't want the two families to break up because of his daughter.

"I see, don't worry, Shi Jin, I will go to persuade your grandmother again." Master Chu Er said seriously.

"Thank you, Second Uncle." Chu Xing stood up and saluted.

Second Master Chu nodded, seeing his son kneeling there with his head bowed, Second Master Chu said angrily: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you bring Brother Run back!"

At this point, the son must recognize the concubine, and he can't even go the way of expelling him, otherwise he will give hope to his mother and wife, and make them misunderstand that he is still afraid of King Qing and Queen Wan.But then again, the child belongs to the Chu family, and the son was just having an affair when he was young, and he didn't break any laws, so the emperor doesn't care about it, so what right do others have to intervene?
Empress Wan and King Qing are not fools, so they would not trouble the Chu family for Wan Shu.
