The reborn daughter seeks marriage

Chapter 31
Led by Wang Ma, the group walked towards the main room of the Qiu Mansion.Passing through several long corridors along the way, I saw an exquisite mansion. There were already a few servant girls standing at the door. When they saw a few people coming, they immediately reported: "Master, madam, my uncle and the others are here!"

"Come in, come in!"

Several people walked into the hall, and saw two elderly men in their fifties sitting in the very spacious living room.The old man on the right has a beard and half hair, and his expression is full of kindness, but his eyes are extremely sharp, and it can be seen that he is a person.

This person is the old man of the Qiu Mansion, Qiu Zeshi. Now he is still a first-rank cabinet scholar, and he is an emperor teacher with a high position and authority. Even His Majesty respects him very much.

The old lady next to him is also in her fifties. Because of the proper maintenance, she looks very young. Between her brows, she can vaguely see the beauty of that year.

Chu Wu just glanced at it lightly, and her eyes turned slightly red. When she saw her grandmother, she immediately thought of her mother.No matter how much she wanted to get closer, how much she wanted to throw herself into the arms of her grandmother and cry, but she still couldn't face it because of the estrangement of what happened back then.

Beside the old lady, stood a few women who also looked elderly, but they were all dressed up very well, they were Qiu Zeshi's concubines.One of the concubines stood at the front. Even though she was old, she had a fair and charming face with a charming charm.She is very conspicuous among the women, and she is Qiu Xueshan's biological mother, Aunt Tao.

Standing beside Mr. Qiu were some men, ranging in age from high to low, they were his sons and grandchildren.Although they haven't seen each other for many years, Chu Wu still remembers their voices and appearances.There is both joy and bitterness in my heart.

The female relatives below the old lady are daughters-in-law and granddaughters.Mr. Qiu has six sons in total, two of them are his sons, the elder Qiu Shaokang, who is also in his thirties this year, and is currently serving as the minister of the Ministry of Punishment.The third master, Qiu Shao'an, is walking in the palace. He is currently the leader of the imperial guards, and they are the uncles of Chu Wu's direct relatives.

Among the other four concubines, the second master Qiu Shaohua was born to Aunt Tao, and he is currently the doctor of imperial history, from the third grade.The others are the sons of several concubines, without much accomplishment.There are only two daughters, the first daughter is Chuwu's mother Qiu Xueyuan, and the concubine is Aunt Tao's daughter Qiu Xueshan.

Uncle Qiu Shaokang's wife is the daughter of a famous family, named Fang.Fang's family is currently the head of the Qiu Mansion, and she gave birth to two sons and a daughter, the eldest young master Qiu Zixuan, the second young master Qiu Zimo, and the eldest daughter Qiu Yaqin.

The second wife, Mrs. Liu, is the second master's wife and the daughter of a powerful family. She also has two sons and a daughter, the third young master Qiu Ziqi, the sixth young master Qiu Ziliang, and the second young lady Qiu Yaxin.

The third wife, Mrs. Chen, comes from a scholarly family, and she only has the fifth young master Qiu Zishu and the fourth young lady Qiu Yayi under her knees.

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father-in-law and mother-in-law!"

"My daughter greets her father and mother!"

Mo Xuan and Qiu Xueshan both knelt down and saluted to Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Qiu above the high hall.Mo Chuwu and Mo Chuyun, who followed behind them, also knelt down and said in unison: "Granddaughter Chuwu (Chuyun), send greetings to grandfather and grandmother!"

"Okay, okay, okay, get up!" Mrs. Qiu stroked his beard, exchanged glances with Mrs. Qiu, and nodded in satisfaction. Inadvertently avoiding his eyes, his expression was complicated.

Greetings with everyone in the Qiu Mansion one by one, seeing that it was getting late, the family began to have lunch.Everyone gathered around a large table, and the juniors ate at a small banquet on the side.The first dancer was not of high seniority, so she was naturally with her cousins, but they all avoided her intentionally or unintentionally.

Next to Chu Wu's seat, no one came in and sat down in the empty space.Instead, it was Mo Chuyun who got the best of both worlds, chatting happily with the cousins ​​around him.Her expression darkened slightly, and at this moment, a strong gaze focused on her.She raised her head and met a pretty little face full of hatred.

The girl in front of her looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was wearing a light green skirt and had a delicate and delicate face. At this moment, she looked at her coldly, with an unkind expression on her face.

"You still have the face to come here! Mo Chuwu, what else do you want to do?"

The girl spoke with sarcasm and resentment, the hatred in her eyes could not be concealed.Chu Wu's body trembled slightly, her ten fingers deeply penetrated into the palm of her hand, she forced herself to raise her head, showing a stiff smile.

"Cousin Yaqin..."

"Who is your cousin! I can't afford it!" Qiu Yaqin snorted coldly and interrupted her without mercy.Although her tone was impatient and resentful, her voice was deliberately lowered so that the people next to her could not hear her.

Chu Wu felt a pain in her heart, finally she could only open her mouth and said heavily, "I'm sorry."

"Hmph, is being sorry useful? Can saying sorry make my brother stand up from the bed?" Qiu Yaqin's eyes turned red immediately, and she tried her best to suppress the anger and sadness in her heart.On an occasion like today, she couldn't be rude.

"Cousin Yaqin, I don't know that no matter what you say, you won't want to hear it. But, I still want to say sorry to you, and hope you can forgive me."

After a moment of silence, Chu Wu opened her mouth with difficulty, her heart filled with pain and despair.Why doesn't time go back any more, not three years ago, but six years ago.Then, she can work hard to undo all the mistakes.

Perhaps, she will not have any estrangement with her grandfather's family, and she will still be their beloved Wu'er.Perhaps, mother would not die, she would take good care of all of this, without Qiu Xueshan, without Mo Chuyun to interfere with her happiness.

However, there are no ifs in this world.God gave her a chance to be reborn, but did not give her the right to choose. She could only endure all this, try to make up for her mistakes, and save her life.

"I want me to forgive you, dreaming! Unless you give my brother back his leg, if he stands up, Mo Chuwu, I will forgive you!" Qiu Yaqin said mockingly, with mockery in her eyes that couldn't be concealed.

A person who has been disabled for three years, a person whose famous doctors in the capital shook their heads and sighed, asking him to stand up again, is it not a dream?

Chu Wu lowered her head, her slender palms were already dripping with blood.Her nails dug deep into the flesh, piercing the skin, but she couldn't feel any pain.Suddenly, she raised her head abruptly, looked at Qiu Yaqin seriously, and said word by word.

"I will do it, let cousin Zixuan stand up again, I will definitely do it! Cousin Yaqin, in that case, will you forgive me?"

"Hmph, let's talk about it when you really do it!" Qiu Yaqin gave her a complicated look, turned her head, and ignored her again.

Mo Chuyun, who was not far away, watched this scene silently, with a faint smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

Although Mo's Mansion and Qiu's Mansion were not far away, Qiu Xueshan still decided to stay for three days.Mo Xuan naturally stayed with her, and Fang began to arrange for several people to move in.Qiu Xueshan and Mo Xuan naturally lived in her former boudoir, while Mo Chuyun's room was next door.But the first dance was arranged in the former mother's boudoir.

Fang's arrangement naturally satisfied everyone.After the banquet was over, Chu Wu took Xiao Qi along and walked casually in the Qiu Mansion.She has been to this place countless times, and she is already familiar with it like her own home.Even if I haven't been here for three years, looking at the plants and trees here is still the same as I remember.However, now everything has changed.

Feeling emotional, a figure suddenly walked in front of him, Chu Wu raised his head, and called out immediately.

"Auntie!"

The figure paused, turned around, and forced a smile on Chu Wu.The woman in front of her was in her thirties, tall and slender, with a beautiful face, wearing a purple and gold gauze dress, exuding the dignity and elegance of a lady.It was the current mistress of the Qiu Mansion, Qiu Yaqin's mother Fang.

"So it's Wu'er, but what's the matter?"

Fang forced a smile, but the look in her eyes was extremely cold. She really didn't know how to face this only direct niece.If that incident hadn't happened, she might have always been the great aunt who doted on her.But now, she seemed to have no other way to treat him except hatred and superficial politeness.
