Prime Minister's Illegitimate Daughter

The dinner was very sumptuous, and the fatherly and filial nature was very harmonious. Chu Zhennan was very happy because of Chu Mengli's good health, so he had to drink a few more cups.

Mrs Bai looked at her husband and children with a face full of satisfaction. Of course, it would be even better if the other eyesore wasn't here.

Bai Shi looked at Chu Mengli, who was eating with her head down, and smiled, "A few days ago, I got a thousand year old ginseng and gave it to her because she was weak. I didn't expect the medicine to be so good, but look at her body color these days."

Chu Zhennan looked deeply at the Bai clan as a sharp glint flashed past his eyes.

"Oh? But Zhong Xia said that the ginseng was a hundred years old? " Chu Mengli's face was filled with innocence.

Chu Mengdie was a bit angry at Mrs. Bai in her heart, so she looked at her father's expression and gloomily glanced at Chu Mengli. Her gaze turned gentle as she asked with doubt, "I'm afraid that little sister can't have remembered wrongly, right? That day, Aunt Liu and I personally saw Sujin give the ginseng to you. "

"That's right!" Chu Mengshuang received the look in Chu Mengdie's eyes and agreed.

"Mother did give me a stalk of ginseng, but Zhong Xia said that it was a 100-year-old ginseng, not a thousand-year-old ginseng." With that, Chu Mengli looked Chu Zhennan in the eye, "Father should know that Zhong Xia understands medical knowledge, so he definitely won't make a mistake. Furthermore, I don't have any use for that. Why don't you call Zhong Xia to take a look?"

Without waiting for the others to speak, Chu Mengli instructed Yinhe, who was behind her, to go back to Yinhe Garden and get the ginseng.

"Fourth Sister has always been physically weak. Yinhe Garden always has all kinds of medicinal herbs prepared. There are a lot of them, so don't make a mistake with this girl." Chu Mengdie's eyes turned slightly cold.

"That's right, that ginseng looks about the same. If Xin'er took the ginseng by the side and wronged mother, that would be bad." Chu Mengshuang also interjected.

Chu Mengli widely opened her eyes and naively waved her hand, "How is that possible? "There are a lot of herbs in my courtyard, but the ginseng that is over a hundred years old is only from my mother. I definitely can't take the wrong ginseng from the wrong root."

"What if you have already used it and only have one year left to wrongly accuse your mother?"

"The dregs of the medicine that I drank these days are all here. Should third sister send someone to check them out?"

Chu Mengshuang choked and glared at her without saying anything else.

In less than the time it took to make a cup of tea, Cores had returned.

Uncle Qing stepped forward to examine it, "Master Hui, it is indeed a hundred years old. It has been over a hundred years since I last saw it."

Chu Mengli sneered in her heart. That day, Midsummer had already told her that it wasn't five hundred years old, it was less than two hundred years old.

Aunt Liu covered her mouth in surprise. "Oh!" What was going on? How did a thousand year ginseng become a hundred year old? Fourth Miss, could it be that the girl in your yard secretly lost her bag? "

Chu Mengli pouted, "Aunt Liu, my Yinhe Garden doesn't have that kind of shallow skin. My Yinhe Garden has green eyes whenever it sees good stuff, so I tried to take it for myself. That day, when I took it back to Midsummer, he checked it out on the spot, so there was no possibility of it being changed."

Chu Zhennan coldly looked at the Bai clan, the aura around his body was cold and furious.

Madame Bai only felt her back turning cold, and her face was a little flustered. Master... My body... "I …"

Chu Zhennan's eyes were sharp, "Why don't you explain to me what happened?"

When Chu Mengdie saw this situation, she secretly hated Chu Mengli, but she didn't have any good ideas. Thus, she was very anxious.

Chu Mengli secretly sneered, "Could it be that big sister Su Jin took the wrong thing?" You mistook a hundred years for a thousand years and gave it to me? "

She knew from Chu Mengli's memory that Su Jin had come up with many strategies to deal with the Bai clan. Moreover, she was acting respectful on the surface but giving the Bai clan advice in private. Dealing with the Bai Clan wasn't something that could be done in a day or a night.

These words gave the Bai clan and Chu Mengdie a reason. Both of their eyes could not help but light up.

Su Jin, who stood behind the Bai Clan, was stunned.

"Su Jin, what's going on?" Chu Mengdie sternly said.

When Su Jin saw the warning eyes of Chu Mengdie and the Bai clan, she knew that they wanted her to know about this, so she felt a chill in her heart. With a plop, he kneeled in front of Chu Zhenan.

"Master, it was this servant's fault. Madam told this servant to retrieve that thousand year old ginseng, but this servant didn't check it in the storehouse, so she gave the wrong one to Fourth Miss for a hundred years …" "It's all your servant's fault. Your servant has been negligent. It has nothing to do with Madam. Please don't misunderstand Madam …" Su Jin kowtowed as she admitted her mistake, not caring about the blood on her forehead.

"Is that so?" Chu Zhennan lowered his eyes and asked coldly. It was unknown whether he was asking Su Jin or the Bai family.

"It was your servant's fault, it was your servant's fault …"

Mrs Bai secretly looked at Chu Zhennan's face, gritted her teeth and said in grief, "Little girl, normally I would leave this matter to you because of your safety, but why didn't you give me face? You took the wrong ginseng and gave it to the fourth girl, and you knew it was an accident, but I didn't know it was because I was the mother of this matter, so I thought it was my own daughter!"

Chu Mengdie used the handkerchief to test the corners of her eyes and advised, "Mother, don't be sad, be careful!" Su Jin also knows that she was wrong. Moreover, mother is usually known to all as her father. If father sees his fourth sister as if she were his own daughter, how could father blame his mother? "

Chu Zhennan looked at Chu Mengli, who lowered her head and did not speak. He knew that this would not be a simple matter. The Bai Clan could guess the answer, but now that Sujin stood up to admit it, they could only give up.

"Since that's the case, then send someone to send the thousand year old ginseng to the Yeshi Garden tomorrow. As for Susu …" What was the use of doing such a small thing? "Let's sell it tomorrow!" If she did not provoke the Bai clan, she would have to beat her up. Her precious daughter could not be wronged for nothing.

Su Jin's face instantly turned pale, "Master, Madam, please forgive this servant. Don't sell this servant, this servant will definitely serve you wholeheartedly from now on. Madam, I beg of you, I beg of you …" He kowtowed again and raised his head with tears streaming down his face.

He had thought that he would accept it, but it was just a few words of reprimand, and at most, a few slates. He never thought that the Prime Minister would actually want to sell him, not to be sold, definitely not to be sold. The maids that were sold by a rich family were not allowed to be used by other families. Madam Zhang could only sell them to brothels, but not to brothels. She absolutely could not.

Mrs Bai could not bear to look at Su Jin. She and Senior Servant Xu were her hands, "Master, Su Jin usually does things very steadily. She's been able to help even after serving by my side for a few years, so I'm used to her. See if she can take things lightly."

"It's fortunate that big sister Sujin only took the wrong ginseng this time." Chu Mengli lowered her head and spoke softly.

That's right! Chu Mengli had only taken the wrong ginseng this time, but fortunately, she had only used it to nourish her body. If she had taken the wrong medicine, then her daughter would have accidentally used it … How could his daughter's body bear it? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

Chu Zhennan narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, "Uncle Qing, bring them down."

There was no room for negotiation.

He couldn't refute her as Su Jin was very smart and would come up with some ideas for him, which pleased him a lot. Because of such a small matter, he had lost a good maid to her, so he was unwilling to give up and could only blame it on Chu Mengli, that dead girl.

Chu Mengli lightly looked at the Bai clan, who hated her, without any fear in her eyes. Her lips slightly curled up. This was just the beginning! If he was this mad over the loss of a little girl, how could he play in the future?

In the end, everyone had a bad meal.

Chu Mengli walked out of the hall, and just as she was about to walk out, Chu Tianzo stopped right next to her.

Chu Mengli stared blankly at him, then raised her head to look at him. There was a complicated look in her eyes, there was pain, helplessness, and even a hint of regret.

Chu Tianzo's pale pink lips moved a few times as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he did not speak and quickly left. He did not return to his own courtyard and instead left the residence.

Chu Mengli looked at the departing back of Chu Tianzo. This elder brother was rather interesting … …

Before going to bed, GuiNing Courtyard sent someone to deliver a 1000-year-old ginseng in a red box. Chu Mengli glanced at it and told Zhong Xia to put it away. After eating a meal, not only did it hit Bai Shi but it also brought him benefits.

She said that after Chu Zhennan finished reading, he rested in the study room. She was so angry that her face turned ashen, he had been in Nanmu for almost three months, and on the first day he came back, he already sent out the girl in his room. At night he stayed in the study room, but he didn't even care about his own dignity. In the end, it was still because of that damned girl from Yinhe Garden …

Xu mama persuaded him, but Madame Bai could only turn off the lights with resentment, tossing and turning the table all night long.

The next day, the Bai Clan declared themselves to be ill, saying that it was because their lass had failed in her service and that she felt guilty towards the Fourth Miss.

While her father was angry, Madam Bai wanted to call him 'father' by using herself as an excuse. If the outsiders were to find out that the concubine of the Prime Minister's house had caused her mother to fall ill because of a small matter, then her reputation would be terrible. She would never be able to imagine that her father would not think of her father. The Bai Clan had miscalculated this move.

By the time she could react, her illness would be cured.

Sure enough, as Chu Mengli expected, Chu Zhennan didn't personally visit her. Instead, he sent for a doctor. It would only take two days for the Bai clan to recover from their illness …
