Her family had no idea what Chu Jinjin was really thinking; they assumed that her rare visit to Wen meant she was trying to get through to the Li family.
Therefore, everyone agreed with this method.
Without a doubt, based on what we know now, Li Shi definitely has a say. Even if she works for free, and while it may not solve the problem immediately, at least we can see hope.
After Chu Zujian's incident, the atmosphere at home was not as usual; it was somewhat lifeless. After discussing it, everyone decided to go out as a family and take the opportunity to enjoy the spring scenery.
Spring outings are considered a major event, and many marriages are formed during this season.
The most excited one was Liu, who loved to play. She had been doing very well during this time, taking care of Chu Zujian almost every day. But when she learned that they were going on a spring outing the next day, she immediately put everything aside and dragged Chu Jinjin to try on clothes.
Since the old man wasn't going to die anyway, she started worrying about her daughter's marriage.
She'll have to get married sooner or later.
She wanted to dress her daughter up beautifully, hoping some handsome young man might fall for her at first sight.
Chu Jinjin was completely at her mercy and cooperated perfectly; as for marriage, she had already given up hope.
It's not that I've lost faith in men because of heartbreak; it's that I understand men of this era too well—very few dare to marry me.
The next morning, the atmosphere was so lively it was almost like celebrating the New Year.
Everyone was dressed very elegantly.
Chu Jinjin was dressed in emerald green, paired with emerald jewelry. Her skin was already fair, and it looked even fairer, almost glowing. Because she no longer pretended to be gentle and virtuous, the aura she had in the post-apocalyptic world returned.
Chu Lanlan spoke for everyone: "Third sister, you've stolen all the limelight."
This wasn't a compliment; just look at the guards and servants accompanying them—they couldn't take their eyes off them.
Not only beautiful, but vibrant and full of life.
Everyone burst into laughter, except for Chu Lingling, whose laughter was forced; she had been dragged out of the house.
Her daughter has temporarily returned to her side, but for a mother, she still lives in agony every day, especially when she thinks about her son's current condition, where he can't eat or sleep well and is sleeping in a dirty little inn.
Chu Jinjin sighed silently. There was nothing she could do; fists couldn't solve this. She could only wait until Xu Xun reached his breaking point.
The carriage was already prepared, as all those going on the spring outing today were women, and freshly picked apricot blossoms were specially placed inside.
Chu Jinjin and Liu Shi were in the same carriage. As soon as they sat down, their heads were treated like vases.
"No matter how beautiful the jewelry is, it can't compare to flowers, because a girl is a flower herself." Madam Liu didn't have a talent for flower arranging, so she just added as many as possible. "My Jinjin is so beautiful."
As she said this, her eyebrows were full of kindness.
"Mother looks good too." Chu Jinjin took the flower branch and gave her a taste of her own medicine. It's just putting flowers in your hair, she can do that too.
This is perhaps the most precious thing to her in this world.
The other carriages should all have similar scenes.
Not long after they left the city gate, the coachman whispered through the curtain, "Madam, Third Miss, the Xu family's carriage is ahead."
Springtime is arguably the most anticipated season for all wealthy women, a time to escape the cage-like confines of their luxurious mansions and enjoy the natural scenery and the outside world.
It's normal for the Xu family to go on a spring outing.
There was no need to report it, but the coachman thought that it would be better to tell his fearless third young lady.
Chu Jinjin lifted the curtain.
She recognized the carriage; she had seen it at her wedding. It must have been Xu Wenda and Wang Ruoyun inside.
Chu Jinjin shrank back.
I can't do it myself, so I'm not interested.
Madam Liu, however, was intrigued. She lifted the curtain and softly called out, "Is Madam Xu inside?"
Instead of seeking out Xu Wenda, they sought out Wang Ruoyun, who was already Xu's wife.
The Chu family's coachman saw it, and of course, the Xu family's too. Wang Ruoyun's gloomy face appeared in the carriage window: "What is it?"
After returning home that day, she became angrier and angrier, but she didn't know whose child she was mainly having a child with.
Inside the carriage, Xu Wenda felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing the voice, instinctively sensing that something was about to happen.
Liu didn't care about other people's opinions; she only cared about herself: "Did Xu Wenda wash your feet?"
Chu Jinjin: "......"
Others might think her own mother was deliberately sowing discord, but she knew very well that it wasn't true!
My own mother just doesn't have that kind of brain.
She genuinely cares.
The curtain fell with a whoosh; one can roughly imagine what would happen inside.
Madam Liu also lowered the curtain and analyzed with regret: "This Xu Wenda is truly ungrateful for his good fortune. He doesn't know how to cherish you, nor does he know how to cherish Wang Ruoyun, the younger sister of the Imperial Concubine. He disregards his reputation for her sake. To tell you from the bottom of my heart, I couldn't even do that for your father."
After saying that, he remembered his own position and immediately changed his tune: "Of course, she deserves it, this is the retribution she deserves."
Chu Jinjin didn't care: "Go ahead and eat your melon if you want."
Sometimes she really envied her mother's simplicity.
However, one thing is true: judging from the current trend, the marriage that Wang Ruoyun risked her life for will not have a good ending.
I wonder if she regrets it.
Wang Ruoyun regretted it.
Inside the carriage, Wang Ruoyun clenched her fists: "Xu Wenda, you, you're going to be the death of me."
In her imagination, love was simply about getting what you wanted. She did get the person, but not the heart.
She never imagined that some men are only good-looking on the surface.
Phoenix Mountain is located in the suburbs. The two peaks on both sides are undulating, like a pair of wings, while the main peak in the middle protrudes, resembling a bird's head.
In April, the mountains and fields are covered with a sea of flowers.
The servants who had arrived early ran quickly to deliver the news.
As expected, Madam Li arrived and, just as she had been told, went to the Bodhisattva Temple on the mountaintop to burn incense and make a wish.
