Chapter 58 It turns out that he is just a tool in his mother’s heart!
"Old Madam, it was with the help of my father and brother that my husband was able to become the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Army. Have you forgotten? If it weren't for the protection of my Shen family, how could all the credit for my husband's achievements have been attributed to him instead of being replaced by someone more powerful and influential?"
The old lady's face turned very ugly, "Are you accusing me of being ungrateful? If you hadn't been so desperate and insisted on marrying Mu'er...
How could Mu'er refuse to marry the second daughter of Prime Minister Wen? If Mu'er had married the second daughter of Wen, he could have also become the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Army."
My mother thinks too simply. How can civil officials and military generals be confused?
The old lady was still chattering, "By then, not only Mu'er, but also Renjie, Shanjun and Shan'an will be able to benefit from it.
Renjie doesn't need to stay idle at home anymore. He would have been promoted to an official in Beijing long ago. It's all because of you that my Chu family is now stuck."
A look of hurt flashed across Chu Mu's face.
Even if Ah Zhao hadn't existed, he wouldn't have married Miss Wen Er.
Mother, doesn’t you know what kind of person Miss Wen Er is?
“Old Madam, even without me, my husband would not marry a woman of bad reputation.
Miss Wen Er had an affair with someone before she got married and gave birth to a son. Miss Wen Er has never married and lives in a villa outside Beijing. She has dozens of male concubines.
Didn't the old lady know about this? Or was it that in order to climb up the Wen family, the old lady made my husband have dozens of brothers-in-law to smear his reputation.
Let the world despise it."
Everyone knows the name of Miss Wen Er. Although her mother lives in the inner house, she should also know it.
Once, he returned from a victorious battle and met Miss Wen Er at a palace banquet.
Somehow, Miss Wen II took a liking to him and insisted on marrying him.
At that time, rumors were circulating that Miss Wen had an affair with someone and gave birth to a child out of wedlock.
When she reached marriageable age, no one came to propose marriage to her.
The young masters of noble families all avoided her, fearing that marrying a fickle woman would bring disgrace to the family.
He thought his mother had the same idea as him and wanted to avoid the Wen family.
But now the mother told A Zhao that if it were not for A Zhao, he would have married Miss Wen Er.
He had never thought of marrying Miss Wen Er, and he would not have married Miss Wen Er without A Zhao.
When his mother said these words, did she ever think about him?
The old lady's face turned ashen, and she gritted her teeth and said, "How could you know that Mu'er was unwilling to marry Miss Wen Er? Although she had an affair before marriage, she can give birth to children.
And you, can you still have children?"
Chu Mu stared at his mother fiercely.
"What do you mean, old lady?"
What did his mother mean? If he didn't know that Ah Zhao had been given a sterilizing drug, he wouldn't have doubted his mother's words, "Can you still have children?"
But now he couldn't help but wonder whether A Zhao's mother knew that someone had given her a sterilizing drug!
"Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong? You've been married into the Chu family for three years, and you haven't even laid an egg.
Although Miss Wen Er is unruly, she is sincere to Mu'er. If Mu'er marries her, I believe she will change her ways and support her husband and children.
Old Master Wen teaches at the Chinese Academy. If Mu'er had married Miss Wen, Shanjun and Shan'an would not have to be so cautious and try to please those young masters from aristocratic families at the Chinese Academy.
Through the relationship with the Wen family, Shanjun and Shanan will be the ones to be flattered, and the teachers will also take special care of them.
Thanks to the relationship with Prime Minister Wen, how could Renjie fail the imperial examination so many times? After Prime Minister Wen's guidance, not to mention becoming a juren, he might even have the chance to take the third or second place in the imperial examination.
What's wrong with marrying Miss Wen? Mu'er is a military commander and Prime Minister Wen is a civil official. One is civil and the other is military. Let's see who dares to look down on the Chu family. "
Does the mother know what she is talking about?
What on earth is he in his mother's heart? Just a tool to bring honor to the family?
“Old Madam, have you ever thought about your husband? If he really marries Miss Wen Er, how will the world slander him and how will they view him?
Everyone knows that Miss Wen Er is not a good match, and everyone avoids her. Don’t you know this, old lady?
And have you ever thought about what kind of woman your husband likes and how he will spend the rest of his life? "
The old lady's expression was very distorted at this moment, "Mu'er is a descendant of the Chu family, shouldn't I make some sacrifices for the Chu family?
It's all because of you that my Chu family lost the chance to rise to prominence. If you know what's good for you, stay in the General's Mansion for me.
You should keep your mouth shut, no matter what you should or shouldn't be involved in, no matter what you should or shouldn't say. Don't act like a demon in front of Mu'er again, or I won't forgive you."
After that, he looked at Chu Mudao and said, "Except for the expenses of the West Garden, you can manage them. You are not allowed to ask about the expenses of my courtyard and the expenses of the second room. Shanjun and Shan'an need two high-quality items now. I remember that there are two famous paintings of famous artists in your dowry.
Send someone to bring it to Shanjun and Shanan later. If it weren't for you, Shanjun and Shanan wouldn't have to curry favor with others in exchange for a spot at the banquet."
Chu Mu looked at his mother stupidly.
Is this still the mother he remembers, the one who always considers him first and cares for him utmost?
For the sake of the Chu family's reputation, my mother could actually say such words.
Hasn’t he done enough for the Chu family!
He joined the army in his teens, experienced life and death situations and suffered countless injuries in exchange for the current status of the Chu family.
Can’t mother see all this!
He has also been supporting his second brother's family, and now the Chu family's assets have been given to the Liu family by his second sister-in-law.
Almost all the expenses come from A Zhao. Doesn’t the mother see what A Zhao has contributed to this family?
How she confidently asked Ah Zhao to pay more money and was suppressed in the mansion.
You are not even allowed to ask about the whereabouts of your dowry.
What did the disgusted looks and expressions from Shanjun and Shanan mean when they looked at him?
The two of them can now study and learn to read in the Chinese Academy, have no worries about food and clothing, travel with a carriage to pick them up, and have servants to serve them, all thanks to A Zhao.
If it were just my second brother and sister-in-law, they wouldn't even be able to afford to study at Qingshan Academy.
He had always thought that Shanjun and Shan'an, his second brother, were elegant people.
I used to be sensible and grateful, but now it seems that is not the case.
"I'm sorry, your daughter-in-law, for not obeying your mother's orders. The income from the mansion alone is simply not enough to support the expenses of the various courtyards in the mansion.
It is a gesture of affection for a daughter-in-law to subsidize her dowry, but it is her duty not to subsidize her dowry. The old lady can ask around to find out which family spends their daughter-in-law's dowry.
If you tell this to others, people will laugh their heads off.
If Shanjun and Shanan need high-quality items, they can ask their second brother and sister-in-law for them. In the past, their husband’s rewards were all given to the second wife, and there were quite a few precious items in them.
I am just their aunt, not their parents, and I have no obligation to give them anything.
Besides, neither of them takes me, their aunt, seriously."
The old lady was furious. How dare Shen reject her and say such words?
"Shen, you... bastard!"
He was just telling the truth, how could he be called an asshole?
His current mother was not clear to him, and he even began to doubt what kind of person she was.
At this moment, a servant came hurriedly to report.
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
