The housekeeper's heart skipped a beat, and he said in astonishment, "But the Chu family doesn't have anyone more suitable to be the head of the family than the eldest son!"
The Chu family's patriarch turned around and looked at the housekeeper seriously, and solemnly reprimanded him, "Xi Xuan was born the head of the family. This cannot be changed. Don't say such things again!"
The housekeeper looked aggrieved. "You were the one who said that first, Patriarch. If the eldest son helped the Lan family, he wouldn't be fit to be Patriarch!" He said it as if he was trying to sow discord.
The Chu family's patriarch turned around, took a sip of tea, and pondered, "What I mean is, if that's the case...that girl from the Lan family is not suitable to stay with Xixuan!"
The housekeeper was horrified and asked in disbelief, "But the young mistress is Zi Tong! Didn't you say that Zi Tong can only stay in the Chu family and marry a member of the Chu family?"
The butler took another sip of tea and said, "The Lan family hasn't had purple pupils for thousands of years. Our Chu family has remained standing strong and far ahead for thousands of years. Let's just pretend that Lan Ziye never appeared! As long as Lan Ziye doesn't go to other families, that's all that's fine!"
Not go to another family? If the Chu family doesn't want the young lady, then she will naturally return to the Lan family. When she grows up, she will also marry, and naturally she will marry into another family. How can she not go to another family? Unless...
The housekeeper's eyes widened in horror. Could it be that the head of the family wanted to kill the young mistress? He didn't want the eldest son to be deceived by the young mistress, nor did he want her to fall into another family. It seemed that killing her was the only solution.
At this moment, the guard outside the door came to report that Miss Chu Yuchu had arrived!
The housekeeper, as if granted amnesty, hurriedly excused himself to pick up Chu Yu and left the master's study. He joked, "If he knew such a secret, wouldn't that mean he'd die? What if the master really did assault the young mistress and told him about it? If the eldest son found out one day, he really wouldn't be able to stay in the Chu family anymore."
The head of the Chu family looked at the butler's back, thinking that it would be such a pity to kill Zi Tong like this, but for the Chu family's foundation over the years, he seemed to have no choice but to do so. He hoped that Lan Ziye would not let him down and would not be so stupid!
"Grandpa!" Chu Yu's voice was heard from a distance, and the head of the Chu family couldn't help but frown. This girl was becoming more and more unruly. He really shouldn't have left Chu Yu in the Jin family in the first place.
Chu Yu excitedly walked to the door of the master's study and pushed it open directly. Following behind her was the housekeeper who looked embarrassed.
"Master, the eldest lady..." said the housekeeper with a depressed look on his face.
He really tried to stop Chu Yu, but he couldn't!
"Okay, you can go down!" The head of the Chu family waved his hand.
The housekeeper lowered his head and retreated.
Seeing that the Chu family patriarch didn't blame her, Chu Yu finally let go of her worries. She walked over to the Chu family patriarch's recliner and sat down. She reached out to help the Chu family patriarch fill his cup with tea and said, "Grandpa, Yu'er was reckless just now! Please don't be angry with Yu'er!"
"You know you're being reckless, but you still rush around like this? Is this how the Jin family taught you etiquette?" the head of the Chu family scolded.
Chu Yu: ......
After a moment of silence, Chu Yu said, "I was just too worried about Lan Ziye's sister-in-law, so...!"
"Sister-in-law is sister-in-law. What sister-in-law Lan Ziye? Do you have many sisters-in-law?" The head of the Chu family disliked Chu Yu at this time, and he disliked everything, and continued to lecture her in a bad mood.
Chu Yu:......
After another moment of silence, Chu Yu said, "Sister-in-law didn't go to school today. She went to the Lan family!"
