She spent all day hunting geese, but was pecked in the eye by one.
It's really a joke. Liu Chanru said she wanted to help her. She thought about it for a few days and finally felt that her method was the safest.
No one else would be as suitable as her because she is the widowed niece-in-law of her mother's family.
After arriving in the capital, she was not welcomed by her parents' family, so it was understandable that she tried to curry favor with her aunt in order to make her life better.
Who would have thought that she would plot against her own son? How despicable.
Jiang Chenyu left. Chu Zhiyin hugged Chu Xiaoxiao and nodded to Liu Chanru as a greeting, then turned and left. Jiang Chenjue followed her.
"Miss Chu Er! Can I talk to you?"
Chu Zhiyin looked at him, then at Chu Xiaoxiao. The little guy seemed tired. He lay on her shoulder motionless, listless, with his eyelids half open and half closed, as if he wanted to sleep.
Jiang Chenjue stretched out his hands: "Give me the child! Your arms will get sore if you keep holding her."
"No need, I'll hold her myself. Just tell me what you want to say! I'm listening."
The opportunity was hard to come by, and Jiang Chenjue didn’t want to miss it: “My name is Jiang Chenjue, I’m not married, I’ve moved out and have nothing to do with Pingning Houfu.
My mother's dowry was also taken back, and now I live in Jiang Mansion, which is not far from the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, and it takes about a quarter of an hour to walk there.
I have been away for many years and have not been interested in marriage. I rushed back from the border when I heard that you were getting divorced. Last time I sent a matchmaker to propose marriage, I was rejected. Can you tell me why?
If you tell me what I did not do well enough, I can change it. The kindness you showed me when I was a child is the warmth I will treasure for the rest of my life. "
After hearing this, Chu Zhiyin was stunned. He stared at the person in front of him, not knowing how much truth there was in what he said.
The little niece lying on her shoulder seemed to be half asleep and her thoughts were confused.
[Aunt! He is telling the truth. This is your perfect match. Don't miss it. The matchmaker didn't explain clearly when she came. She has misled you.]
Hearing this, Chu Zhiyin's heart skipped a beat and his brows furrowed.
Jiang Chenjue knew what she was worried about and immediately explained: "I guess what happened today was done by my stepmother. She tried her best to drive me away.
In order to separate the Marquis' Mansion, I took out the evidence that she killed my mother, and she was confined to her house. Knowing that I had gone to the Huguogong Mansion to propose marriage, she staged such a good show.
If her plan succeeds today, I will be disheartened and go to the border, never to come back. Don't worry! This kind of thing will never happen again. The people in the mansion are all the people I have cultivated over the years.
As for the outside world, I will definitely assign you a few capable people to serve you, and will not allow anyone to take advantage of you."
[Yeah! You have a heart, and you are a man who dares to act and take responsibility. ]
Chu Zhiyin stood there in a daze, without any reaction for a long time. He felt that the person in front of him was talking too far ahead and had even arranged things for the future.
It is not certain whether she will get married or not.
"Do you know why my stepmother plotted against you?" Jiang Chenjue was shocked by the news he had just received.
"Why?" Chu Zhiyin asked.
"Because the money the Zhang family paid to you as compensation was said to be a large sum, they were tempted."
Without even thinking, Chu Zhiyin blurted out: "Are you also thinking about that money?"
Jiang Chenjue smiled and shook his head: "If I am full, my whole family will not be hungry. What do I need so much money for?"
After hearing this, for some reason, Chu Zhiyin felt a little relieved and felt that he was quite good.
Of course, a large part of the reason comes from the voice of my little niece. She said that this man is her perfect match, and that must be the case.
My little niece's voice is never wrong.
"The eight million taels of silver are my shame. I have no intention of keeping them and am going to donate them."
For some reason, Chu Zhiyin told Jiang Chenjue her thoughts. She really didn't plan to keep the money for herself. When the time came, she would let it go wherever there was a natural disaster or man-made disaster.
The purpose of asking for a huge amount of money from the Zhang family was to punish them. It was their fault for maliciously deceiving her into marriage and wasting her time for so many years.
"You are doing a good job. Three meals a day and simple food are enough." Jiang Chenjue smiled calmly, "If you are burdened by gold and silver, you will never be satisfied. Because gold and silver will foster greed. Only by keeping a clear mind and being content with what you have can you be happy."
The knot between Chu Zhiyin's eyebrows was somewhat relieved: "I didn't expect you to be able to take everything lightly, it's really rare."
"What's so rare? I've been in the army for more than ten years, and I've seen too many people and things, so naturally I don't care about them." After saying that, his eyes fell on Chu Zhiyin's face, "If there is still something to worry about in this world, it is the warmth of childhood that is left, which I can't let go of for a long time."
"Don't you mind my divorce?"
After a pause, Chu Zhiyin carefully asked the question in his heart.
Jiang Chenjue shook his head slightly, his eyes firm: "Divorce was not your original intention, why bother? Zhiyin! I am already twenty-eight years old. Back then, I was cowardly and inferior, and I didn't dare to go to the Protectorate Mansion to express my feelings. If I had insisted back then, maybe you wouldn't have been deceived."
Chu Zhiyin's eyes turned red, and then she lowered her head, not wanting Jiang Chenjue to see her weakness.
"You don't care, but what about your parents? Will they agree?"
"I have moved to a separate residence. My father can't control me at all. He owes me and my mother. He won't interfere in my affairs."
Jiang Chenjue told Chu Zhiyin about the situation at home in detail, so that she would not be afraid to step out of the gate of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion due to lack of knowledge.
"My stepmother only wants to leave everything in the Marquis' Mansion to her son. Everything else is nothing to her. She wants her son to plot against you so that the next Marquis of Pingning can be glorious.
She is already grounded, and even if we get married, we don’t have to visit her because she doesn’t deserve it.”
Chu Zhiyin was silent again, thinking that this man was really a good match for her as he could do this for her. Her niece was very good at judging people and was absolutely right.
"The backyard of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion is clean and tidy. You have been away for many years and there is no..."
"No."
Jiang Chenjue was delighted when he heard her say this. The fact that she was willing to ask these questions showed that she was already considering his proposal.
"I've been busy with my military exploits these years, and have nothing else. I just wanted to see you healthy and happy, and for me to die alone."
Chu Zhiyin raised her head suddenly, her eyes were red again, she was moved. She didn't expect that he would be so affectionate to her, it was really fate, if she had met him in her teens, maybe there wouldn't be so many things.
"Don't be sad, we are still young." Jiang Chenjue took out a jade hairpin from his arms and handed it to Chu Zhiyin, "This is the coming-of-age gift I intended to give you, but I never gave it away.
I asked someone to carve this jade hairpin, and your name is on the hairpin. I will send someone to propose marriage tomorrow, so please don't refuse me again. We can't miss it again."
Chu Zhiyin didn't answer, and Jiang Chenjue stuffed the jade hairpin into her hand.
"You leave first, I'll leave later."
