"Brother, it's getting late, I should go back! I'll come again tomorrow, and my second and third brothers will tell you about the other things."
As she spoke, Madam Chu stood up, preparing to leave.
"Wait... bring Wanwan over here so I can see her. I heard from your sister-in-law that Wanwan is a beautiful and intelligent child. I need to take a good look at her!"
Suppressing his emotions, Chu Qianhan looked at Sheng Wanwan's swaddling clothes and said softly.
He had just heard his two younger brothers talk about Sheng Wanwan's amazing abilities, but he still felt that the matter was too absurd and refused to believe it.
But when he suddenly heard Sheng Wanwan's inner thoughts, he was truly shocked!
"Alright! Zhucui, take Wanwan over there!" Madam Chu said to Zhucui.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Cui carried Sheng Wanwan and walked towards the eldest brother of the Chu family.
Chu Qianhan took the swaddling clothes from Sheng Wanwan and looked at the baby inside.
The little baby's big, dark eyes were staring at him intently, and those lively, big black grape-like eyes instantly melted Brother Chu's heart!
Chu Qianhan gently stroked Sheng Wanwan's rosy cheeks, smiling as she remarked, "You look so alike! You look exactly like you when you were little!"
"No! I should say you're even more lively and better-looking than when you were a child!"
"Hehehe... Is that so? Mother just saw Wanwan say the same thing!"
Chu looked at Sheng Wanwan with tender eyes.
[This is my eldest uncle! Tsk tsk tsk, the other two uncles are both outstanding in appearance and have remarkable temperament. How come this uncle is so ugly? And so sloppy and unkempt? He really drags down the overall appearance of the Chu family!]
Chu Qianhan couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard Sheng Wanwan's thoughts. This brat actually thought he wasn't handsome enough!
Hmph! When he was young, he was universally recognized as the most handsome young man in the Great Yan Kingdom!
I am old now, but I wouldn't say I'm ugly, would I?
However, you can't really blame my uncle. He was once a handsome and dashing young man. It's just that time waits for no one! Sigh…
As Chu Qianhan frowned in thought, Sheng Wanwan's inner voice echoed again...
That brat, she thinks he's too old!
Looking at the baby in her arms, Chu Qianhan instantly felt a loss of love.
"Chu Lan, carry your girl and hurry up! It's getting late!"
As Chu Qianhan spoke, she handed the baby in her arms to Chu Lan with a look of disdain.
Chu Lan quickly took the swaddling clothes from his older brother, held them in his arms, and said with a smile:
"Then I'll be going now. I'll come see you again tomorrow, brother."
As Chu Lan spoke, he picked up Sheng Wanwan and walked out.
Why does it seem like my uncle doesn't like me? He didn't even offer to bring a gift when we first met! Ugh, so stingy!
As soon as Sheng Wanwan finished speaking, Madam Chu's lips twitched, and she quickly left with Sheng Wanwan in her arms...
Chu Xiuyuan and Chu Yunzhou exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Chu Qianhan glared at her two younger brothers and suddenly asked:
Am I ugly?
"Ahem... Big brother, you're not ugly! You just haven't taken care of yourself in a long time. When that girl comes over tomorrow, big brother, you should tidy yourself up and shave off your stubble. Make that little one's eyes pop!"
Chu Yunzhou suppressed a laugh and said in a serious tone:
"What's there to fuss about? Do you think I'd argue with a little kid? Alright! You two go back first! We'll discuss the matter of Yanyu Tower and the Chu Family Army when my little sister arrives tomorrow!"
After Chu Qianhan finished speaking, she reached for a book and began to read it.
Chu Xiuyuan and Yun Zhou exchanged a glance and left...
The next day, under the pretext of visiting Old Madam Chu, Madam Chu went to the Chu family again.
After discussion, it was decided that Chu Xiuyuan, being an official, was not in a position to act without the knowledge of how many people were watching him.
The reconstruction of Yanyu Tower was secretly overseen by Chu Yunzhou.
As for regaining control of the Chu family army and bringing down Prince Rui and Consort Jin, it's not something that can be done overnight. It requires rebuilding the Misty Rain Pavilion and conducting a covert investigation and gathering evidence.
Take it slow and steady...
As she was leaving, Madam Chu smiled at her eldest brother and said, "Brother, you look quite refreshed today."
Today, Chu Qianhan was dressed in a dark blue robe with gold trim on the cuffs and collar. She wore a white jade crown and a dark gold belt around her waist.
Although he is over forty, his facial features still faintly reveal his youthful good looks.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qianhan awkwardly twisted her neck.
"Where's the little one?"
"In Mother's room!"
"Okay! Bring her here, I have a gift for her!"
Chu Qianhan said with a cold face.
This little guy actually said he was the ugliest yesterday, so today he'll let the little girl see his handsome face and see if she still dares to say he's ugly!
Chu suppressed a laugh and let Zhu Cui go and hug Sheng Wanwan.
A moment later, Sheng Wanwan was carried in, and Chu Qianhan held her in his arms.
Sheng Wanwan was eating her soft, white hand when a very handsome middle-aged man's big head suddenly appeared in front of her, startling her so much that her hand froze in mid-air.
[Holy crap! Who's this guy? A middle-aged version of Tan Jianci? So handsome!]
Chu Qianhan's lips curled slightly when he saw Sheng Wanwan's reaction.
Although he didn't know who Tan Jianci was, he could tell that the little guy was stunned by his unparalleled good looks!
Pshaw, I'm just getting old. If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely be more handsome than that guy named Tan Jianci!
The other three heard Sheng Wanwan's thoughts and then looked at their eldest brother's arrogant expression.
Overjoyed, my elder brother seemed to have come back to life...
Chu Qianhan reached out and picked up a wooden box from the table next to her.
Open the wooden box, and inside is a crystal-clear pearl from the East China Sea.
