In the Chu family's living room.
The entire Chu family was like ants on a hot pan; they had never been so anxious in their entire lives. According to Liu's unreliable thinking, even if Chu Jingde were pregnant with twins and about to give birth, they wouldn't be this anxious.
Why did you drag the Prime Minister's wife to see the Emperor when you were just having a nice time?
There was no way Zhan Qin would hide anything anymore. By the time he finished speaking, everyone had already lost their composure.
I feel like Chu Jinjin isn't even human.
Of course, I'm not worried about her safety.
At most, it might anger the emperor.
But how could anyone in the world dare to do such a thing?
Zhan Qin tried to go to the palace several times, but was stopped by everyone. One person was enough, and going again would only increase their worries.
Only Liu's thought process was different from everyone else's.
"Zhan Qin, your mother-in-law is also a mother. From now on, I will treat you like my own son. If that's not possible, you can recognize me as your godmother." Liu Shi only knew the general outline before and didn't know such details. She listened with tears in her eyes.
Zhan Qin: "......."
Although I already knew my mother-in-law wasn't very reliable, I didn't expect her to be this unreliable.
The Chu family members: "..."
Liu realized what was happening and muttered softly, "Don't look at me like that. Like mother, like daughter."
She felt that she was much more normal than her daughter.
"Alright, stop talking and go eat your melon seeds." Chu Jingde was only aware of the good things happening in his family, from princesses to emperors. He was in high spirits and felt like he was getting younger. But all of this was nothing compared to the shock brought by Zhan Qin.
Chu Jinjin's granddaughter is so outstanding, she should naturally marry the best man in the world.
Zhan Qin is quite outstanding, but I always feel he's lacking something. He's a poor scholar without parents, and his family background doesn't quite match his status.
Now look what's happened, the son of a high-ranking prime minister.
I'm very satisfied with it no matter how I look at it.
Chu Jingde's voice was incredibly gentle: "Zhan Qin, I originally intended for you to marry into the family, but I didn't know you were the son of the former prime minister. You see..."
Zhan Qin understood his meaning and answered without hesitation: "Zhan Qin has long since severed ties with the Yuan family and is willing to marry into the family."
Chu Jingde laughed heartily: "Good, good, good, from now on you will be my own grandson."
It's excellent that the prime minister's son became a live-in son-in-law.
It was already dark when Chu Jinjin returned.
The crowd immediately swarmed forward.
"There are no results yet, but she confessed," Chu Jinjin said first. "That's it. We'll know the specific outcome in a few days."
She had done everything she could and said everything she needed to say. Of course, she could have forcibly killed that poisonous woman, but it wouldn't have made any difference.
In the end, Yuan Tianyou returned with his men, saying he would give the Emperor a satisfactory answer.
Zhan Qin hesitated, his eyes almost speaking volumes.
"No need to thank me, it's what I should do." Chu Jinjin gave him a light hug in front of everyone and said earnestly, "I'm sorry, I didn't discuss it with you."
If she tells Zhan Qin, she will definitely be stopped.
Zhan Qin's body trembled slightly, and his voice was hoarse: "Thank you."
He didn't know how to express his thoughts at that moment.
His mother said a lot to him that night, and now he understands that she was trying to condense all her life's lessons into one night.
She told him to live a good life, not to strive for fame or fortune, but simply to live peacefully.
He had no evidence to tell who the real killer was; a seven-year-old child couldn't have that ability. But he knew who it was, but no one would listen.
As he grew up, he never gave up the idea of revenge.
But she was the wife of a high-ranking prime minister. What could he do even if he became the top scholar in the imperial examination?
Yuan Tianyou was there to protect her.
Zhan Qin could not take the risk, because it was a path his mother had paved for him with her life, and he had to cherish that life. He either had to be 100% sure of success or not take any action at all.
That night, I went to see Yuan Tianyou, and he tested me.
The ending was still disappointing.
His biological father, who once held him in his arms and cherished him like a treasure, is still the same as before.
Chu Jinjin felt a little guilty for ruining the family outing and suggested doing it again, but everyone refused.
I'm not in the mood anymore, I'll just stay home.
Even if I go, I don't want to be with her.
Twice now. The first time, I ran into Li Xinzhi. The second time, I ran into the Prime Minister's wife, and the matter went straight to the Emperor. Whoever finds her again will run into whom? The Empress Dowager.
That's terrifying.
Helpless, Chu Jinjin had no choice but to start working on the shop every day. After this incident, she didn't know what was going on with Xiao Huai, but she decided that if necessary, she would take her family and leave the capital temporarily.
But she seems to be cursed with occasional accidents.
That day, after leaving the shop, seeing that it was still early, Zhan Qin didn't know why he hadn't come to pick her up. Thinking that there was nothing to do when she went back, she simply wandered around by herself and unknowingly arrived at a hotel.
She rarely eats out; after all, she's a woman, and it's inconvenient for her to show her face in public.
It was peak dining time, and the hotel was doing brisk business. When the waiter saw her come in alone, he was taken aback for a moment, then immediately ran over and excitedly asked, "Are you Miss Chu San?"
Chu Jinjin was somewhat surprised: "How do you recognize me?"
The waiter scratched his head sheepishly: "The other day you went to the Xu family to ask for your dowry, and I went to watch the fun."
Chu Jinjin looked around: "Oh, I see. Are there any empty seats?"
"Of course, no one else has a seat, but Miss Chu, you are my idol. I'll make room for you even if I have to ask others to leave." The waiter led the way and whispered, "There's a private room upstairs. It was originally reserved for you, but someone just came to tell you that you have something to do and can't come."
