Chapter 76: Is it someone else's turn to speak?
"Chu Boyue shouldn't be in the capital, right?"
If he is given a mine, he will definitely be eager to go to the mine to verify its authenticity and want to mine it quickly. The money generated by a mine is something they cannot even dream of.
These three years.
She controlled the Chu family's business tightly, and the closer someone's surname was to Chu, the harder it was for her to get involved.
"We set out for the mines that same night."
Chu Jiuning nodded.
"Pick out some suitable food, clothing, and ten thousand taels of silver, and give them all to them. Tell them to start school as soon as possible."
"Master Linxiao, I think he's okay, but this Master Boyue seems too cunning and has too many tricks up his sleeve. I'm afraid he won't be grateful for what he's done."
Nanny Hong was very worried that Chu Jiuning had raised ungrateful people. One could tell at a glance that the man was ambitious.
Chu Jiuning snuggled into the soft cushion and looked at the blooming flowers outside the window.
"I don't expect him to repay me. Tell Brother Linxiao that all the bad things should be left to Chu Boyue. He should avoid doing them if he can."
They exploited each other and profited from each other. This was something both she and Chu Boyue knew, and they didn't hide it at all.
Speaking of this, Chu Jiu stood up.
"Miss, where are you going?"
It's almost time for dinner, and the soup is simmering in the kitchen.
"Grandpa had so much fun at the Crown Prince's house that he doesn't want to come back?"
Didn't we agree to come back the next day? What day is it already?
"I'm going to pick up Grandpa for dinner."
There are still some things that need to be discussed in front of His Highness, which is just as well.
Seeing that the young lady's face was gloomy, Nanny Hong hurriedly prepared expensive gifts, and then asked Amber to follow her in the carriage to the Prince's Mansion.
The Prince's Mansion was quiet, but there was a solemn and murderous atmosphere that made people dare not make a sound.
Step into a courtyard called Pushe.
There is a big lake here, with beautiful pavilions built on the edge of the lake. The lake is sparkling with blue waves and dancing gauze all around.
Grandpa and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were sitting by the water, playing chess in the wind.
"grandfather."
Chu Jiuning looked at her grandfather's rosy face, and a hint of helplessness appeared in her eyes.
How can you play so much that you don’t even go home?
"Grandpa, you've been here for several days. It's time to go back."
Chu Jiuning bowed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince while talking to her grandfather.
The result was a closer look.
Good job.
Grandpa and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were wearing the same casual clothes, even the auspicious cloud patterns were exactly the same.
"My dear grandson, you miss grandpa. Are you here to take him back home?"
The old man looked at Chu Jiuning's graceful, beautiful and dignified appearance, and his eyes were full of smiles. When he touched his beard, the smile turned into pride, and he said to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, I am at a disadvantage only because of my status. Otherwise, Xiaojiu would definitely be the best woman in the world."
"Even without an identity, she is still good."
As the prince spoke, he calmly ate a dozen of the old man's seeds. The old man immediately became unhappy and anxious when he saw this.
"Oh my, oh my, this, this, why is it like this?"
Seeing the old man jumping up and down in anxiety, the handsome face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince showed a rare hint of gentleness, and Chu Jiuning stepped forward.
"Grandpa, I know what the problem is. I'll teach you later, but I have something serious to say."
"Let's get down to business first."
The old man immediately put down the chess piece, picked up the teapot and sat down. Chu Jiuning looked at his grandfather with a head full of white hair, and his heart ached.
If her father and mother were still alive, she might have younger brothers and sisters, and the family would definitely be happy and harmonious. They would be so blessed.
She told the old man in detail the conversation she heard between Liu Canghai and Luo Xianer in the palace.
The old man suddenly stood up and staggered. Chu Jiuning hurried forward to support him. Sadness continued to surge in the old man's eyes.
"Grandpa, please sit down first."
Chu Jiuning helped the old man sit down again, and Hongye took another cushion to put behind him. The old man took a long time to relax before he let out a long sigh.
"I never thought that it was this huge fortune that killed them. If I had known this, I would have thrown it all away."
Even if it meant wearing coarse linen clothes, he would be willing to do anything as long as his family was harmonious.
This time.
Old Master Chu was hurt and regretful, thinking that he had killed his son and daughter-in-law. When he sighed, the vicissitudes of life in his eyes suddenly emerged.
"Grandpa, we must find the traitor right now and expose the person behind this. I must avenge my father and mother."
As they said.
At least one cousin or a cousin was arranged by them.
Old Master Chu walked to the lake with unsteady steps, his eyes gazing into the distance.
"These people may have been targeting us before you were born. Therefore, anyone who entered the Chu Mansion before you were born or after you were born is a suspect."
"Your Highness."
The redness on Old Master Chu's face disappeared, turning pale, and he bowed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, could you please help me investigate these people? I suspect one of them married into the Chu family under a false name and gave birth to a son, all for the purpose of adopting him into my family. Their ultimate goal is to seize the Chu family's wealth."
so.
It is very likely that those traitors are about the same age as Chu Jiuning!
"Okay, I'll help you with this matter."
The prince nodded in agreement, and his heart tightened slightly as he looked at them, one old and one young.
"grandfather."
Chu Jiuning walked to his side.
"Why not spread the news of the adoption?"
Old Master Chu was slightly stunned, his face showing helplessness.
"To be honest, Grandpa doesn't want to see a situation where they kill each other, so I have been very fair to each of their branches over the years. Each branch has been provided with millions of taels of silver every year. Our eldest branch has done them justice."
Finished.
The old man was troubled and melancholy again.
Unfortunately, people’s hearts are no longer as they used to be. Once greed expands, it will be infinitely magnified and will have no end.
Not only are they not grateful, but they feel that they are not given enough and even want to take it for themselves.
When talking about this, the old man's eyes were full of disappointment.
Chu Jiuning knew the distress in his grandfather's heart, walked up to him, held his arm, and sneered.
"Human nature is mostly like this. If these properties were theirs, they would be more defensive than us. But since these things are ours, they feel that they should take them out and divide them among themselves. And they should give them all away. After all, our family is gone for them."
"nonsense."
Old Master Chu glared angrily.
"In the future, when you get married and have two children, one can be adopted into my Chu family. Then I will have an heir, right?"
These bastards.
He brings this up all day long, and even openly provokes him by saying that his lineage has been extinct. Is he going to give such a huge family business to Chu Jiuning and bring it to her husband's family in the future?
The business is theirs, the money is earned by them, and it is earned through their hard work. Where it will go is it anyone else's turn to say?
