To say that she was almost well adjusted was only for Chen Yuhui. Because her body was already broken, the doctor said that it would still be the same even if she was adjusted. She was so thin that a gust of wind could blow her down. If she didn't put on rouge, her face and lips would be as white as rice paper, and she would be out of breath after walking a few steps. She couldn't get married again.
Chen Shiying hated He Linsheng for being vicious and was also angry at his daughter for being cruel. This was her own fault. He thought that she had the best relationship with her grandmother, and since one of them was half paralyzed and the other couldn't move much, they would have a companion and wouldn't be too lonely. He moved all her dowry to her, assigned a few more servants, and expanded the yard. With the living expenses he gave them every year, their lives wouldn't be difficult.
When Chen Shiying told Chen Ayuhui about this idea, Chen Yuhui burst into tears.
She cried and said, "Dad, are you my real dad? How could you do this to me! Did mother and Chen Ahfu ask you to do this?"
Because she was too excited, her face had some color. After saying these two sentences, she took a few deep breaths, obviously very tired.
Chen Shiying was stunned. He felt that there were not many people in the world who could do what his father did. After the He family got into trouble, even his colleagues who had a good relationship with him advised him not to offend the emperor for a disobedient concubine. His father-in-law and uncle advised him many times. But he was stubborn and wanted to save her. He couldn't bear to see her suffer at such a young age. Unexpectedly, he heard this sentence from her.
He was so angry that his face turned red. He said with a sullen face, "Girl Hui, isn't what your father has done for you enough? Also, your mother and elder sister have helped you a lot. How can you say that about them? You were able to leave the He family alive because your grandfather went to the emperor to save you. The emperor was able to grant you a separation most likely because of the Chu family. I, your father, don't have that much face."
Chen Yuhui cried, "They helped me because they felt guilty. At the beginning, it was my grandmother who told me about the marriage with the Chu family. General Chu was going to marry me..." When she mentioned this eternal pain in her heart, she started to cough violently. After coughing for a while, she continued, "Such a good marriage was taken away by Chen Afu with the help of Jiang. Everything Chen Afu has now was originally mine."
After saying this, he burst into tears again.
Chen Shiying was so angry that he kept shaking his head and said, "Why are you still so stubborn? I have explained to you so many times that it was only your grandmother and the second wife of the Chu family who wanted to marry you to Chu Lingxuan. The second wife of the Chu family is just Chu Lingxuan's aunt. She has no say in the Chu family. What does her promise mean? The one Chu Lingxuan really wants to marry is Fu'er. The granddaughter-in-law that the old marquis likes, and the daughter-in-law that the Chu marquis likes, are also Fu'er."
Chen Yuhui panted and said, "Dad, don't lie to me anymore. I'm not a fool, so of course you say that. Now, my third sister is going to marry into the mansion and become the young lady of the mansion. Your daughters, one is the head lady of the mansion, and the other is the young lady of the mansion. And I, your second daughter, have fallen into this miserable situation..." She took a few more deep breaths and cried, "Dad, please, please, help me..."
Chen Shiying asked blankly, "Everything I do is to help you, what else can I help you with?"
Chen Yuhui's face turned even redder, and he said, "Dad, please don't send me to the countryside, or I'll never make a name for myself in this life. Can you tell General Chu that I only want to be his woman, and my heart has never changed. I won't have any more children, and I don't care about status..."
"That's enough!" Chen Shiying shouted. He had never spoken so loudly in his life. He was so angry that his face turned red and his fists were clenched tightly. If Chen Yuhui was not weak, he would have slapped her twice.
Chen Shiying pointed at her and cursed, "How could I, Chen Shiying, have a daughter like you? You have no shame, no sense of decency, and you are cruel and ruthless... Forget it, forget it, you should leave tomorrow. This family can no longer keep you."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out, not wanting to look at her a second time.
The sound of a tea bowl breaking behind him made him pause, and then he walked towards the main courtyard.
He knew that his daughter had bad morals, was selfish and cruel, and he blamed himself, thinking that it was because he, as a father, had not taught her well and should not have let his mother and Aunt Tang discipline her since she was a child.
He always felt that his daughter could learn a lesson from the suffering she had endured in the He family. And because so many people had saved her, they could influence her and make her grateful. As long as she knew how to be grateful, she would not be hopeless and would gradually get better.
However, this daughter not only does not know how to be grateful, but is also extremely stupid and fanciful. Even in this situation, she still wants to be Chu Lingxuan's concubine!
Not to mention that she has no beauty, no wisdom, and now no body. Even if she has these three things, Chu Lingxuan will not be attracted to her, and Fu'er will not tolerate her.
Besides, how could his daughter, Chen Shiying, be someone else's concubine!
He came to the main courtyard and went directly into the east side room of the upper house. He saw many valuables and boxes on the kang, and Jiang was leading two maids to clean them up.
Seeing that Chen Shiying looked unhappy, the two maids bowed and retreated.
Jiang got off the kang, handed him a bowl of tea, and said, "Master, are you angry? Don't be angry. It's not like you just found out what Hui is like today."
She knew that the man was going to talk to Chen Yuhui, and guessed that he would be angry, but she didn't expect him to be so angry that his face turned purple.
Chen Shiying sat down, drank the tea in a few gulps, and said, "Send someone to send Hui to the countryside of Dingzhou tomorrow, and send a few more maids." He paused and sighed, "She is already in this state, so don't be too harsh on her. And mother, I didn't give her much money because I was afraid that the villagers would be suspicious. Now that it's been so long, no one will care where mother lives. Give them more money in the future, and have someone send some gifts to the head of the village and the landlord there, asking them to take care of her."
Jiang was somewhat pleased when she heard this. She was afraid that Chen Shiying would be soft-hearted and keep the girl, which would affect Qing'er's marriage. The girl was too scary, and she couldn't even guess what she could do.
She said, "Master, don't worry. I will have someone build a bigger house there and take Hui's dowry with us. From now on, I will give them fifty taels of silver every month for their living..."
Chen Shiying nodded. Chen Yuhui's dowry was generous, and she also had the produce from her fields and shops, which would last her a lifetime in the countryside.
The two were discussing when suddenly a maid came hurriedly to report, "Master, Madam, it's bad, the second aunt has hanged herself."
Jiang was so frightened that he stood up all of a sudden. Chen Shiying sat there without moving, and asked through gritted teeth, "Is he dead?"
