Chapter 80 If there is a spirit in heaven, please bless us
Why are you so arrogant?
It’s better to break it off.
This will save us from having to support so many children if they are adopted later, which would be a considerable expense each year.
Old Master Chu sat steadily in his chair, feeling sad and desolate.
These brothers and relatives really disappointed and hurt him. Even if they felt that the eldest wife would be childless, he would feel better if they didn't say it out loud. However, these people just didn't take him seriously and humiliated him at will.
But so what?
His Xiaojiu is the smartest and the best. He can control the overall situation at such a young age. He should be relieved and pleased.
"If you're alright, let's go."
Having said that, Chu Jiuning gave instructions to the housekeeper.
"Uncle Chu, seal all the small doors that were opened to them and replace them with new ones. From now on, we will not come to each other unless necessary and live our own lives."
Chu Linxiao and Chu Yiming listened to her words with a hint of worry in their eyes. They wanted to say something, but in the end they said nothing and turned away silently.
Chu Jingchi didn't say a word from beginning to end, but a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. His grandfather had been against the eldest wife from beginning to end, and even spoke harshly. If Xiaojiu wanted to take the mine back, wouldn't it be a loss?
Deep down.
He had always looked down on Chu Jiuning because she was a woman, so he subconsciously felt that sooner or later she would have to rely on men, and rely on his cousins.
But I didn't expect it.
She is much more decisive than them.
and.
What horrified him even more was that she had such a good relationship with Eunuch Chen, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, that his apprentice actually obeyed his orders at any time.
Without even looking back.
He walked out of the Chu Mansion and turned around to stare at this mansion which was low-key on the surface but luxurious on the inside. Desire suddenly surged in Chu Jingchi's eyes.
The Chu family's business empire can only belong to him!
The mansion became quiet again. The servants were cleaning quickly. Old Master Chu pointed at the chairs they had sat on and said coldly.
"Burned them all. Smashed the cups they touched and replaced them with new ones."
"Okay, old master, don't be angry. I will replace them all with new ones in a moment."
Nanny Hong looked at the old man with heartache and hurriedly directed everyone to move all the things away. Chu Jiuning knew that he was sad, so she stepped forward to support him.
"Grandpa, let me take a walk with you. Don't keep your unhappiness in your heart. It's not good for your health."
"kindness."
Old Master Chu looked at Chu Jiuning's calm and composed appearance, and his heart was filled with relief.
An old man and a young boy walked slowly along the lake. The old man pointed at the huge patches of pink lotus flowers blooming in the lake, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"These were planted by your father and mother themselves. Back then, there were only one or two trees, but over the past decade, they've grown into a vast patch."
They almost occupied half of the lake, and were thick and bright. The old man didn't let the servants clean them up, and just let them grow. Every time he looked at them, it was like seeing his own son and daughter-in-law.
The wind gently caresses the lotus flowers, like tiny waves, creating layers of ripples.
“It’s really beautiful.”
Chu Jiuning walked forward and gently stroked the half-opened lotus in front of her.
"Nothing in this world is predetermined, Grandpa. Don't take their nonsense to heart. Perhaps it's because you've done so many good things that I was able to be reborn. This is the greatest blessing."
When the old man thought of this, he was so heartbroken that he burst into tears. This world was so unfair to them. If anything happened, it would be directed at him. How could he let his only granddaughter suffer so much?
"Grandpa, if there is a next time, I must be reborn to the moment when my mother gave birth to me, so that I can reunite my family."
"Nonsense."
The old man walked quickly to her side with a serious expression.
"Don't talk nonsense. This time you must live well, be healthy and live a long life."
"I see, Grandpa, don't be nervous, I'm just talking casually."
Chu Jiuning saw the fear in her grandfather's eyes, hurriedly stepped forward, took his arm, and whispered a promise.
"These people will cause trouble in the future. You should just ignore them and live your life well. That way you can live a long and healthy life."
Then.
She helped the old man walk into the pavilion. Amber found a soft cushion and spread it out. After they sat down together, Chu Jiuning made a serious promise.
"Grandpa, I will really give birth to a child for our Chu family. I will never lie to you."
"you……"
Old Master Chu was a little surprised. The thick wall that had been blocking his heart seemed to be pushed down by her, and he suddenly felt much clearer.
"But……"
But if she were to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, let alone His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if she were to marry anyone else, what if the other party disagreed?
"I'll discuss this with him before we get married. If he doesn't agree, then I'll find someone else. There are so many men in the world, there's always someone I like."
"well."
The sharp arrow hanging on the old man's heart was finally cut off, and another ray of light shone into his heart, making his white hair look better.
He nodded heavily.
That's good, he is satisfied and has no regrets.
"So grandpa, take care of yourself and stop worrying about others, so that you can help in the future."
"That's right."
The old man wiped his tears, looked at the lotus flowers in the pond and smiled.
"Look, I've taken such good care of Xiaojiu. Aren't you happy?"
The wind blew into the lake, and the lotus flowers swayed. Old Master Chu suddenly became happy and pointed at the lotus flowers.
"Look, your father and mother heard it, and they are very satisfied."
"Yes."
Chu Jiuning looked deeply at the lotus flowers in the lake, her eyes red, and said in her heart.
"Father, Mother, I am going to Jiangzhou to look for you. If you are still alive, please bless me so that I can find you and bring you home."
No one spoke, and the only answers they received were the sounds of the wind and the rustling of lotus leaves.
"Grandma, it's almost time, shall we go to the Chen Mansion?"
Eunuch Ping'an had been following them from a distance, listening to their words. He felt a sense of emotion for a moment. What's the use of having money? What's the use of having wealth? He was still the same as them, a miserable person.
Her godfather asked her to come and pick up Chu Jiuning for dinner, but she didn't expect to witness her being arrogantly humiliated. Although her godfather didn't give any instructions, Ping An was sure that it would be right to help her godmother.
"good."
Chu Jiuning nodded, and Nanny Hong stuffed the big red envelope into his hand with a kind look, and Ping An happily accepted it.
Then.
After settling the old man down, Chu Jiuning asked everyone to take good care of the house and beat anyone who tried to break into the house out. Nanny Hong went back to Chang's house first, and she, Amber, and Eunuch Ping'an went to Chen's house.
The Chen Mansion is not big, with only two courtyards.
There weren't many servants, but the interior was well decorated, with the children's toys neatly placed, and his laughter could be heard from the room.
Eunuch Chen was feeding the fish in the tank. When he saw her come in, he put down his things and walked towards her into the main hall. Chu Jiuning whispered to him.
"Didn't I give you a house as a gift? Why don't you go and see it?"
