Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 146 The child is gone

But to his surprise, the master didn't announce his punishment immediately, but asked him to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, and ordered him to lead someone to hunt down Jueming himself, and asked for his eyes.

If this errand is done well, it will be regarded as a crime and a meritorious service!But if he can't do it well, he will be punished for several crimes at that time, and at least two hundred army sticks will be required!
"Yes, this subordinate takes orders!" After thinking about this, the dark guard clapped his hands with a bit of bitterness.

Meng Jing glanced at him, didn't say anything, waved his hand to let him leave.

Seeing this, the dark guard didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly retreated!

Afraid of Jueming's disappearance, after a period of time, Chu Ci hardly went out except to go to Xue Shangshu's mansion to see Xue Ling, and only stayed with the two little ones in Chu's house every day.

But Jueming's news didn't come until half a month later, until New Year's Eve.

In order to save half of his life and not be punished by the two hundred army sticks, the hidden guard did his best to hunt down Jueming. Eyes, hastened to catch him back from Jinling.

When Chu Ci received the letter from Fei Ge, he was relieved.

She tightly held the secret letter in her hand, and after a while, she turned her head and ordered Zhejin, and said, "Go to the study and answer a letter for me, telling the secret guard to escort Jueming on the way to Beijing. Be careful. Hypnosis can pass not only through the eyes, but also through the voice, so that they can also block Jueming's mouth, and they must not let go until it is brought to me!"

"Yes, girl!" Zhejin also knew the lethality of Jueming, the bald old thief. Hearing Chuci's order, he agreed, turned around and walked out.

After arranging Jueming's affairs, Chu Ci stood outside for a while, and when she collected her mood and was about to go back to her room to watch the new year with the two little ones, the door of the East Wing was suddenly opened from the inside, and then, dumb The younger sister ran towards her in three steps and two steps, without even caring about the ceremony, she directly grabbed her wrist tightly and mouthed, "Girl, girl, Mrs. Su has woken up!"

Having been with the dumb girl for so long, Chu Ci couldn't understand her expressions very well. He widened his eyes for a moment, watching her and asked repeatedly, "Dumb girl, you mean... my grandmother has woken up?!"

Seeing that Chu Ci guessed what she meant, the dumb girl nodded vigorously twice, let go of her hand, and said in sign language, "Returning to the girl, it's like this, Mrs. Su woke up, really woke up Already!"

"I see, I'll go and have a look with you now!" Chu Ci patted the dumb girl's hand, and walked towards the east wing.

Seeing this, the dumb girl hurriedly followed, and Zhejin did the same.

Chu Ci stayed outside for a long time, and when he entered the east wing, he felt the heat from the earth dragon rushing towards his face, and his whole body became warm.

On the couch not far away, Mrs. Su really woke up, and now she is looking at her with a weak face leaning against the pillow.

"A Ci..." After she walked quickly to the bed, before she could ask Mrs. Su about her condition, Mrs. Su called her first, and asked weakly after a pause, "What is this?" , in your house?"

Chu Ci nodded, and while sitting down beside Madam Su, he took her hand and explained, "Grandmother, this is my house, don't think too much about it, just live here with peace of mind."

Mrs. Su heard Chu Ci comfort her so gently, but the always strong person's eyes turned red all of a sudden. She held Chu Ci's hand back with all her strength, trembling all over, and after a long time, she finally uttered, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, the son my wife raised all my life turned out to be my granddaughter who I never took care of in the end... It's a crime, it's a crime!"

Hearing the old lady's words, Chu Ci became more and more excited. She was very worried that she would faint if she couldn't take it anymore, so she raised her hand to gently caress her back, and said calmly, "Grandmother, don't say that, you are my mother!" Grandmother, I have your blood on my body, and it is my duty to support you..." As he spoke, he changed the subject, looked at the medicine bowl that was still steaming, and said softly, "Grandma's medicine for the evening is still available. Shall I drink? My granddaughter is here to feed you..."

Zhejin was also winking. Seeing this, he hurriedly picked up the medicine bowl on the low table beside him, handed it to Chuci, and said, "Girl, be careful!"

Chu Ci took the medicine bowl, took a spoonful, blew it cool, and brought it to Mrs. Su's lips.

Madam Su looked at Chu Ci's soft and gentle appearance, and her heart felt sore again. She slowly opened her mouth, swallowed the medicine that Chu Ci handed over, and after swallowing, looked at her lovingly again, saying , "You and your mother are really carved out of the same mold. I still remember that when she was serving me by my side, she also looked like this... gentle and careful..."

"Really?" Chu Ci fed another spoonful of medicine, a look of sadness flashed across his face, and said, "It's a pity that I have been confused for so many years, and I don't remember what my mother looks like for a long time."

Mrs. Su's expression became even more gloomy when she heard what she said. She sighed heavily, grabbed Chu Ci's hand, and said guiltily, "Speaking of which, I was also at fault for what happened back then. Your father will fight to the end, and will keep you by his side no matter what, maybe you won't be left in the Taoist temple, and you won't live so hard for so many years."

Chu Ci: "..."

She lowered her head and gently stirred the medicine in her hand. For a moment, she thought of the original owner, Su Fengxiang, and the original owner's mother, Yu Xueniang.I think they are alive in heaven, and they would like her to do what they want.

After a long time, she raised her head and said in a flat tone, "It's all in the past. It's all in the past. Grandma doesn't need to mention it anymore."

Madam Su's throat congealed.

It wasn't until the bowl of medicine was finished that he carefully asked, "By the way, Ah Ci, where is your father? Do you know where they are now?"

Hearing Mrs. Su's question, Chu Ci put down the medicine bowl in his hand, glanced at her indifferently, and asked, "Grandmother is worried about father?"

Mrs. Su looked at Chu Ci's eyes that were as clean as glazed glass, and for a moment felt that she couldn't hold on to her face. After a long time, she said awkwardly, "Even if your father is a bastard, he is still your father, the flesh and blood of grandma. It is the only bloodline of the nine generations of the Su family, even if the grandmother is for the Su family, she can't... and she can't let him go."

"Everything is fine for them!" Chu Ci looked at Mrs. Su, and said calmly, "I asked someone to settle them in Zhuangzi."

"What about those people in the underground bank, they..."

"I also sent them, 20 taels, and I gave them 20 taels of silver notes."

"20 taels?!" Mrs. Su was shocked when she heard this amount. She looked at Chu Ci without blinking, and couldn't close her mouth for a long time.

Chu Ci's face was still calm, facing the old lady's shock, she just gave a soft "hmm".

"Then how did you get all this money?" After a long time, Mrs. Su accepted the truth, then raised her hand to support her head, and asked suspiciously.

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows, "The savings from seeing doctors over the years, plus the private property that the Lu family's grandmother gave to the two children, plus the warehouse of the Nanjun Palace, 20 taels can still be combined."

Mrs. Su: "..."

She looked at Chu Ci with complicated eyes, her lips moved for a long time, but she still didn't say anything about writing an IOU and urging Su Kun to pay back the money. She just patted her hand and said with a distressed expression, "Good boy." , It’s hard for you, but you are required to clean up the mess your father caused.”

Facing Mrs. Su like this, Chu Ci suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

She frowned, and asked tentatively, "Grandmother means that I am my father's daughter, so I should settle the accounts for my father. The money... will be regarded as my filial piety to my father, and I don't need to pay it back from the Su family." ?”

Mrs. Su's face was so slapped by Chu Ci, her face was already old and wrinkled, and now she was even more rough. She subconsciously tightened her hand, and said with a bitter expression on her face, "This ...If your father wants to pay you back, I'm afraid he won't be able to pay it back either!"

"So, I have money, so I have to grit my teeth and suffer this loss?" Chu Ci frowned suddenly, and asked in a steady but cold voice.

Mrs. Su's expression was extremely embarrassing, "...Grandmother didn't mean that either."

"What does grandma mean?"

Faced with Chu Ci's aggressiveness, Mrs. Su thought for a while, but couldn't think of any good solution, and finally became anxious, so she closed her eyes and passed out directly.

"Girl, Mrs. Su has passed out!" Zhejin looked at Mrs. Su with her eyes closed tightly on the bed with complicated eyes, then turned her head and said softly to Chu Ci.

The corners of Chu Ci's lips moved slightly, "Since you fainted, let your grandmother rest well, we're going back!" Then he turned around and walked out.

Zhejin hurriedly followed.

When he got outside, Chu Ci stood on the porch, looked at the strings of fiery red lanterns in the courtyard, and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhejin thought about what happened just now, and felt uncomfortable in her heart. She raised her head, looked at her girl distressedly, and said, "Young lady shouldn't have taken Mrs. Su in at the beginning!"

Hearing what Zhejin said, Chuci turned his head, gave her a faint look, and said helplessly, "At the beginning, I never thought that the grandmother of the Su family would be such a person."

Before the 20 taels of loan sharks, she looked like a conscientious person, but when the 20 taels of loan sharks came out, she seemed to be a different person.

Conscience or something doesn't exist.

Even though she knew better than anyone else that the tragedy between Yu Xueniang and Su Fengxiang was caused by her incompetent son, but at the most critical moment, she still favored Su Kun without hesitation.

Thinking of this, Chu Ci sighed helplessly and speechlessly.

"By the way, how is Su Kun's family doing now?" After a while, she looked at Zhejin and asked as if she remembered something.

A few days ago, Zhejin went to Zhuangzi on her behalf to visit the Su family, and she was quite familiar with their situation.

"Returning to the girl, Su Kun, Xiao Yu's family, and Su Dieyi are all fine. They are free from disease and disaster, but the young master of the Su family is not in good health. Now that there is no earth dragon to warm him, his health is even worse. , when the slaves left that day, Xiao Yu and Su Kun wanted to seek medical treatment from the girl, and asked the girl to move to Zhuangzi to help the child take good care of him..." Zhe Jin thought about the situation that day, and said to Chu Ci in detail over again.

After listening to Chu Ci, after pondering for a long time, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the east wing, and said, "I see, after the new year, you can also send Mrs. Su to Zhuangzi to reunite with them!"

"What do you mean, girl, that you will keep raising them in the future, keeping them under your nose?"

Chu Ci sneered, "Do you think I am such a kind person?"

Zhejin said nothing.

Although in her heart, her girl is indeed a first-class kind person in the world.

"I can give them that farm, but after you send Mrs. Su there in the next year, you remember to ask Su Kun to write the 20 taels of IOU... After the IOU is written, all the movable and real estate in his hand will be handed over. Take it for me! Return the rest slowly!" Chu Ci looked at Zhejin and said word by word.

After Zhe Jin finished listening, her eyes lit up, she turned around and cupped her hands at Chu Ci, "Young lady is wise!"

Chu Ci was speechless, and after a while, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's a great day, don't mention these unhappy things, let's go back to the room, the New Year's Eve dinner is coming soon, that girl Zhexia specially made a special trip today We have invited Chef Li over here, and we will try his skills as well!"

"Yes, girl!" Zhejin said, supporting Chu Ci and walking in the direction of Xie Ciju.

When they arrived at the main room of Xie Ciju, the two of them just sat down on their front feet when Aunt Wu rushed in and asked, "Girl, Chef Li is ready in the kitchen, do you want to serve dinner now?"

Hearing this, Chu Ci smiled at Aunt Wu and said, "Since it's ready, let's serve dinner!"

"Yes, girl!" Aunt Wu bowed in response, turned around and walked outside...

It didn't take long for the two seats inside and outside the room to be set up. Chu Ci and Zhe Jin used the table inside the room, and Aunt Wu brought a few girls to use the outside table.

After everyone was seated and the wine was full, Chu Ci was about to call Yunniang to bring up the wrapped red envelopes and distribute them to everyone before the banquet, but before the red envelopes were brought up, there was a burst of footsteps outside Voice.

Then, Butler Wu appeared in the main hall.

Chu Ci took a look and hurried over to Butler Wu, smiled, got up and asked, "Why is Uncle Wu here, but is there someone in the front yard?"

Butler Wu nodded, and then told about the sudden visit of Prince Regent Meng Jing.

Chu Ci did not expect Meng Jing to come to Chu residence suddenly.

But these days, others have already come, and she can't drive him back, so she forced a smile and said to Steward Wu, "Uncle Wu, everyone who comes is a guest, since the regent is here, Just tell the kitchen to open another table in the front yard, and you have a good drink or two with the regent, and make sure the regent is satisfied!"

"Yes, girl!" Butler Wu thought, this arrangement is indeed the best, immediately agreed, and retreated outside.

Outside, Meng Jing waited for a long time before Butler Wu came back.

After Steward Wu told Chu Ci's arrangement, although Meng Jing was disappointed, she also knew that this was actually the best result.

After all, he and Chu Ci were just a former husband and wife.

The status of the two is awkward, and it is really good to be able to watch the year in the same house.

Here, because of Meng Jing's temporary arrival, another seat was added.

On the other side, Yun Niang also brought over the red envelopes, and Chu Ci distributed them to everyone in the hall one by one according to the names on the red envelopes.

All the servants who received the red envelopes were full of joy, blushing and thanking Chu Ci non-stop.

Seeing them happy, Chu Ci was also very happy in his heart.

After the joy, I accidentally drank a few more glasses of wine.

And she was originally a constitution that could not drink.

After drinking these glasses of wine now, before he finished the table, his whole body became dizzy.

Zhejin looked at her from the side, how could he dare to let her stay in the hall, so he found an excuse and helped her walk to the bedroom.

Chu Ci originally didn't want to leave, but with this joy, she wanted to drink a few more glasses, because the fruit wine that Wei Bing sent over a few years ago was really delicious.

It's a pity that she was weak and couldn't stand the two maidservants around her at all, so she was forcibly helped back to the dormitory in the end.

After returning to the dormitory, just as she was being served to sit down on her front feet, the voices of two babies calling "Mother" sounded in her ears.

"Xiao'er, Xin'er..." She stood up, staggered and walked towards the bed beside her.

After reaching the side of the bed, he bent down and kissed Xiao Er's face, and then kissed Xin Er's small face.

The two little babies were tickled by their mothers, and they both giggled and called their mothers louder...

Chu Ci laughed like a flower, stretched out his hand into Yu's bed, and wanted to hug the two children again.

After all, Zhe Jin was afraid of letting Chu Ci get drunk because he was drunk, and was thinking about how to find an excuse to coax her away.

In the end, she was about to use her brain, when Qingmiao came in again, stepped forward and said, "Girl, the prince came to Xieciju, and said he wanted to see the two young masters... I wonder if the girl agrees?"

When Chu Ci heard Meng Jing's name, he squinted his eyes, thought for a long time, and then murmured, "Meng Jing, he is not the regent, isn't he in the regent's mansion? Why did you come to my Chu residence?"

Qing Miao had no choice but to repeat the matter of Meng Jing's visit to the door just now.

After listening to Chu Ci, he blinked his eyes thoughtfully...

Just when everyone thought that she was thinking about whether to take the two young masters out to show the regent, she suddenly fell forward...

"Girl!" Zhe Xia, who possessed martial arts skills, was the quickest to catch Chu Ci.

She hugged her tightly, trying to see how she was doing, but Chu Ci had already closed her eyes, and her breathing became longer.

"Miss is asleep..." Zhejin also stepped forward to take a look, then sighed helplessly, and said, "Okay, there is no need to ask the girl's opinion now, Zhexia, you carry the girl to the bed Go, Yunniang and I will take the two young masters out to show the Prince Regent..."

"Okay!" Zhe Xia agreed, picked up Chu Ci and walked towards the big bed in the bedroom.

Zhejin and Yunniang reported two little babies respectively, and walked outside.

It is said to be outside, but it is actually the Nuan Pavilion.

Meng Jing had been waiting for a while, when he heard footsteps outside, he thought it was Chu Ci coming, so he subconsciously stood up.

But who knows, after the curtain of the Nuan Pavilion was lifted, it was not Chu Ci who came in, but a few maids holding two children.

"My servant has seen the prince, please greet him!" Zhejin and Yunniang each held a child, and went forward to greet Meng Jing.

Seeing this, Meng Jing's face softened for a moment, looked at Chu Ci's two confidantes, and said, "Excuse me! Report the two children to the king!"

"Yes, my lord!" Zhejin and Yunniang agreed, carried Xiao'er and Xin'er and walked towards Meng Jing.

It's true that Meng Jing hasn't seen the two babies for a while, and even the last time she wanted to come here on a whim, she was stumped by Han Zhe's death.

Now seeing the two children again, with just one glance, the expression on his face softened, no longer the coldness and indifference before.

And the two children seemed to have a telepathic connection with their biological father. They smiled brightly when they saw him, without any appearance of recognition.

"My lord, the two young masters can already be called mother, but because no one has taught them, they can't call them daddy..." Zhe Jin saw Meng Jing's tenderness towards the two children, and he didn't know what to think of. , she suddenly stepped forward and whispered something.

Hearing what she said, Meng Jing raised her head and took a deep look at her, then nodded and said, "This king knows!"

snort!The two children are his own flesh and blood, so he should be called Daddy the first time!

Thinking like this, without further ado, Meng Jing immediately started the long journey of teaching the two children how to call them Daddy...

Besides, Xiao Er and Xin Er, the two children are naturally very smart, which can be seen from the fact that they can quickly learn to call them mothers... But the strange thing is that when Meng Jing came here, no matter how he taught them, the two children Even if the child doesn't make a sound, even if he makes a sound while he's alive, it's his mother who yells!

To be honest, Meng Jing's teaching collapsed in the end.

However, thinking that these two children have not only his father, but also the father of King Lu Xiaojun, if he doesn't take advantage of the opportunity to take the lead now, when King Lu Xiaojun comes back, he will be the first to step up, and he will not be worth the loss... ...He was full of strength again.

Holding the two children in my arms, I taught them to call them daddy over and over again.

And the two children are also very energetic, so they just stayed with Meng Jing all night like this.

By the second day, Meng Jing's voice was a little hoarse, but the two children still looked energetic.

Meng Jing looked at it, feeling very embarrassed.

Because the two children still haven't learned to call daddy.

In the bedroom on the other side, Chu Ci slept until dawn before waking up.

After she woke up, she subconsciously touched the two children beside her, but after touching for a long time, she couldn't touch them.

She felt a chill in her heart, and immediately sat up from the bed, and the drowsy sleepiness that had been hungover disappeared.

Especially when he saw the empty bedding next to him, he felt bad all over, turned over and got out of bed, and shouted to the outside, "Xiao Er, Xin Er, Yun Niang, Qing Miao!"

Qing Miao was the maid who kept watch last night. Hearing Chu Ci's call, she immediately walked in and said anxiously, "Girl, it's so early in the morning, what's wrong with you?"
