Chapter 61 Finally doubting his own life experience
Chu Mu glanced at his angry elder brother, whose expression became even uglier.
No wonder Chu Miao came to Kyoto from Jinzhou, and came alone.
It turned out that they were fleeing.
However, he had never heard anyone mention that Chu Miao was engaged, and from what Chu Miao said, it seemed that this engagement was a way for her elder brother to repay his kindness.
What kind of favor is it that my eldest brother needs to repay by sacrificing his own daughter?
This was unbelievable to him. His elder brother was not the kind of person who was confused and should not do anything to force Chu Miao.
The old lady looked displeased. Was the eldest brother confused? How could he marry Miaomiao casually, and to a poor man at that?
Did he really not regard her as his mother? He didn't even tell her, his mother, about Miaomiao's lifelong affairs.
"Boss, mother has always regarded you as a steady and sensible person. Miaomiao is your only child. How could you marry her to a poor scholar? She is the eldest daughter of the Chu family.
The daughter of the General's Mansion is of noble status, and is worthy of marrying a young master from an aristocratic family. How could they push their own daughter into the fire pit?"
Miaomiao is so beautiful and should not be buried.
Chu Renqing glanced at Chu Miao with extreme disappointment. "Mother, can't I marry into the Yu family? Mother, have you forgotten that Old Master Yu saved my father's life? The Chu family hasn't repaid the Yu family's kindness yet. Miaomiao and the child of the Yu family have fulfilled the Yu family's kindness. The child is promising. Now he is only fifteen and already a scholar. Miaomiao has done well."
Chu Mu frowned. What Yu family? They even saved his father's life. Why didn't he know about it?
I've never heard my mother mention it.
And from the moment my eldest brother mentioned the Yu family, my mother's whole face seemed to have fallen into a cold pond, so cold that it was frightening.
This shouldn't be the case. Since the Yu family has done the Chu family a favor, why would my mother react like this?
"Chu Renqing, I don't agree with Miaomiao marrying someone with the surname Yu. The Chu family has already repaid the Yu family's kindness. How can we repay them again?" The old lady looked at Chu Renqing with cold eyes.
Whether he is her child or not, how can he force his own mother like this?
He knew very well that she hated the Yu family to the core, yet he still wanted to marry his daughter into the Yu family.
"Mother, have the Yu family's kindness to the Chu family truly been repaid? Do I need to remind you? Whose kindness did mother owe to being an old lady in Kyoto? Do I need to tell you?"
Chu Mu suddenly looked up at his elder brother.
What do you mean by this, brother?
How could my mother be the old lady in the general's mansion relying on other people's kindness!
A terrible thought came to his mind, could it be that his mother... could it be that she was not his biological mother.
This...how is this possible!
"Chu Renqing! Do you want to piss me off to death?" The old lady was completely enraged, and her voice became very sharp.
Holding Chu Miao's hand tightly, the boss only had that damn bitch Yu in his heart. After all, was she his mother, or was Yu his mother? That bitch had been dead for so many years, but the boss still resented her as his own mother!
"Master, please be quiet and stop contradicting Mother. Mother is doing this for Miaomiao's own good. Yu Zihuan is the only one left in the Yu family now. Are you willing to let Miaomiao marry him? Besides, we can repay the Yu family's kindness in other ways. We can sponsor Yu Zihuan's imperial examinations until he achieves success."
Madam Zheng spoke at the right time.
Chu Renqing glanced at Zheng and said, "I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be like this. The Chu family and the Yu family had an engagement in their early years. If it weren't for... if it weren't for..."
The old lady immediately screamed and warned, "Boss, are you trying to break up this family?"
Chu Renqing swung his sleeves violently, but never said a word.
"Chu Miao, if you still consider me your father, then follow me back to Jinzhou. Otherwise, I, Chu Renqing, will pretend that I have never given birth to a daughter like you."
After saying that, he walked out of the room without looking back.
Chu Mu looked at his elder brother's departing back. He was determined to investigate the Yu family thoroughly.
Judging from the reactions of the eldest brother and mother, the Yu family is not just doing a favor to the Chu family.
There must be some unknown secret hidden in this.
Zheng looked at Chu Renqing's departing back with a sad look on her face, and kowtowed to the old lady, saying, "Mother, it's all because of your unfilial nature that you failed to assist the master. Please don't be angry with Renqing, he is too upright."
The old lady waved her hand at Zheng and said, "You, the eldest daughter, please get up. I know what kind of temper the eldest son has. I'm sorry for putting you and Miaomiao in such a difficult position. Now that you're here, you and Miaomiao must have a lot to talk about. You two should leave first. We'll hold a welcoming banquet for you and the eldest son when the third son returns tonight."
The old lady patted Chu Miao's hand and signaled Chu Miao to follow Zheng and leave.
She has no mood to respond to anyone now.
The old lady looked at Liu again and said to Chu Shanjun and Chu Shanan, "Take her back and have the servants wash her properly. Don't embarrass her at the banquet."
After sending everyone away, the old lady looked at Chu Mu, who was the most annoying.
The more he looked, the angrier he got. "What are you still standing here for? Why don't you hurry down and prepare a welcoming banquet for your elder brother and sister-in-law? Behave yourself in the future. If I see you wearing men's clothes and doing something unbecoming again, I won't let you off easily. You'll keep giving me all the trouble."
After saying that, he held his forehead and closed his eyes to rest.
Chu Mu walked out of the yard with doubts in his mind. His eldest brother had not finished speaking yet, and he looked at his mother's reaction.
Obviously, the mother felt threatened by what the eldest brother didn't finish.
He did not go anywhere else but went straight back to the study, summoned the secret guards and ordered: "Go to the ancestral home in Jinzhou and investigate Yu Zihuan, as well as all the past events between the Yu and Chu families, especially the kindness the Yu family has shown to the Chu family."
What kind of family is the Yu family? What is the past between the Chu family and the Yu family?
This would make the eldest brother go against his mother and insist on marrying Chu Miao.
…
Shen Zhao followed Lin Jiaojiao all the way.
After leaving the Lin family, Lin Jiaojiao did not return to the General's Mansion, but went straight to West Street.
We stopped in front of a shop selling cloth and ready-made clothes.
Chen Zhao frowned, the customers on West Street were all common people.
Lin Jiaojiao has been in the general's mansion for the past two years and has become very delicate. She only wears gorgeous clothes. Even the fabrics she wears for disguise are made of high-quality fabrics.
What is she doing here?
Chen Zhao approached Lin Jiaojiao quietly with doubts.
There are many more people coming and going on West Street than on other streets.
There were countless hawkers coming and going and people coming into the city to buy things.
Even though she was only a few steps away from Lin Jiaojiao, she didn't have to worry about being discovered by Lin Jiaojiao.
The owner of the clothing shop immediately came out to greet Lin Jiaojiao when he saw her, with a flattering smile on his face, "Miss, you are here," and welcomed Lin Jiaojiao in.
Chen Zhao was puzzled. Did Lin Jiaojiao often come to this shop to buy things?
Why is the shopkeeper so polite to Lin Jiaojiao?
Chen Zhao hurriedly followed, but she did not go in. Instead, she leaned against the door of the shop. The shop was not big and if she went in rashly, she would definitely be discovered by Lin Jiaojiao.
Fortunately, there were a lot of people coming and going in the store, so she was not conspicuous standing there.
