The two dishes today were cooked to her liking. Chen Jingxi lowered her head to eat while whispering, "Jing Huai, why don't you ask me why I must send Ouyang Xu back to the Ouyang family?"

Chu Jinghuai didn't care at all. He helped her set the dishes and said calmly, "You must have your reasons for doing this. It's just for our sake. Why should I ask? Besides, I don't think Xu'er is suitable to grow up in the royal family. It may not be a bad thing to keep him away from these things. When Jingli was alive, he hoped to live a free and easy life. Let his son fulfill his wish."

Chen Jingxi nodded slightly. The reason why she didn't want to raise Ouyang Xu was because genes were too powerful. She didn't think she could change what she was born with.

Ye Nandie is not a good person, Chu Jingli is a good person, but his eyesight is poor. The combination of their genes, she doesn't know whether they will eventually raise an ungrateful person.

Also, if this child knew that his mother's death was related to her, I wonder if he would feel hatred towards her.

It’s better not to keep this bomb around when you don’t know if it will explode.

Another point is that she let Ouyang Xu stay in the Ouyang family. On the surface, he was still a child of the Ouyang family, but secretly everyone in the Ouyang family knew that he was Chu Jinghuai's nephew.

She could arrange for someone to enter the Ouyang family, and she really didn't have any good intentions. She wanted to make the Ouyang family like the Shen family, and use them for their own benefit.

She wanted to pave the way for her son to become emperor, so he didn't have to worry about money, food, soldiers, or anything else.

Since she gave birth to him, she would clear away all future obstacles as much as possible.

She will give him the best, she is a selfish mother.

That night, Chu Jinghuai hugged Chen Jingxi from behind, motionless and without saying a word.

Chen Jingxi asked, "Are you worried about something?"

"Yeah!" Chu Jinghuai responded softly, but didn't say what was on his mind.

Chen Jingxi had guessed something by now, "Is it because of something happening in the palace?"
