The old lady was feeling depressed in the house.
She didn't know what to do.
It is impossible for her to seize the general's mansion now. She is the Crown Princess and the future Queen. Even if she is her grandmother, she is no better than her parents. Instead of seizing the general's mansion, she might as well curry favor with her to get some other benefits.
When Chu came in, her face was not good, and the old lady saw it, but she was in no mood to pay attention to her at the moment, and just glanced at her indifferently: "Why are you here so early?"
"You can't pay your respects to your mother too late." Although Chu was angry, she still couldn't help but say the words for the sake of face.
The old lady hummed.
Mrs. Chu spoke again: "Mother, I didn't hear clearly at the banquet last night. Did you mean to adopt Mingbo to the eldest wife?"
The old lady nodded: "Why? Are you here to thank me?"
Chu swallowed her saliva when she heard this: "Mother, I really can't understand this. I only have this one son now. If he marries the eldest wife, who can I rely on in the future?"
"After all, he is your son. How can you not count on him?" the old lady sighed.
"This adoption is no joke. If he is the eldest son of the first wife, how can he be filial to me? It is not logical. Besides, after he is adopted, I am afraid we will have to leave this general's mansion. By then, even if he has a filial heart, he will not be able to take care of him if he is far away. Mother, I only have this one son. Please show some mercy..."
"Show mercy? What are you talking about? Do you think I am harming him? How can you talk to me like that?" The old lady's eyebrows raised.
If it were in the past, Chu would have been so scared that she would have been silent, but this matter was different from the past, she had to fight for it: "Mother, I can't live without An Mingbo. If you want to please An Qingran, try another way..."
"Asshole!" The old lady slammed the table. "I'm trying to please An Qingran, what nonsense are you talking about? I tell you, you are such an incurable fool. Someone, go find your master and ask him to take his wife back. This is really outrageous. I've lived to such an age and have never heard of a daughter-in-law treating her mother-in-law like this. Are you trying to rebel..."
Mrs. Chu knew that she had said the wrong thing, but that was the truth: "Mother, I don't want to offend you, but this is a big deal. I have to ask clearly. Anyway, the adoption must be agreed by both parents. I will never agree. I will not give up my son. Why should they take all the good things? Also, mother, didn't you say that you wanted to take over the general's mansion? Why didn't you take it? Instead, you asked us to add people to it. I don't agree."
"General's Mansion? You are still thinking about getting the General's Mansion at this time? Am I not thinking of a way for you? When An Mingbo is adopted, then the General's Mansion will belong to Mingbo, right? Are you still afraid that you will not benefit from it by then? You are really short-sighted and so fierce. You are really ignorant..." The old lady did not dare to speak loudly.
But Mrs. Chu was only thinking about her son at the moment: "If he is adopted, then the General's Mansion may not necessarily be passed on to Mingbo. Besides, if it is passed on to Mingbo, he is also filial to the two eldest wives. Doesn't that mean I have no son?"
Just at this time, An Zhongyuan got the news and rushed in. Seeing his wife yelling at her mother, he went up and slapped Chu in the face. Chu was stunned. She looked at An Zhongyuan blankly: "You hit me? Our son is about to be given a favor by our mother, and you still hit me?"
"Shut up!" An Zhongyuan interrupted her crying, "What do you know!"
"So you knew about it? It turns out you had already researched it, but you kept it from me. I don't agree, no matter what..." She was still angry.
An Zhongyuan realized that this was really outrageous, so he waved his hand and asked two maids to carry her out.
After going out, Chu wanted to shout again, but An Zhongtao covered her mouth: "Do you still want everyone in the world to know about it? You are really crazy..."
Chu regained some of her sanity, looked at An Zhongyuan's red eyes and stopped talking. But her eyes were still stubborn.
An Zhongyuan sighed. It seemed that this woman couldn't figure it out for a while.
He had her locked in the room and not allowed to come out without his order.
The Chu family was under house arrest.
Logically speaking, since they had been arguing for so long, someone should have come to the front yard to take a look, but the front yard was very quiet, unusually quiet, which made the old lady even more unhappy. It was impossible for them not to hear it, and not coming meant that they didn't want to care.
When I die one day, I’ll see if they will care about me.
I was really worried sick, but this Chu was really stupid. He actually dared to yell at me.
Chu felt that she was wronged. She was going to die, and she didn't get the general's mansion. It was obvious that she would never get it again. Her husband actually hit her for the first time, and the servants saw it. How could she put her face aside from now on?
An Qingran got the news and smiled. If these people were not taught a lesson, they wouldn't know how they would live their lives.
The general's mansion took them in, provided them with food and necessities every day, and gave them a lot of silver every year. Her parents were honest people, but she couldn't understand why her grandmother loved her uncle so much. They were all her sons, so why should she favor one over the other? This was not what a mother should do. She had never found such a person.
If not her stepmother.
Who would do this if not a stepmother?
Wait, is it true that her father is not her biological father?
When An Qingran thought of this possibility, she stood up, feeling a little uneasy. This hypothesis was too powerful. If it was as she had assumed, then everything would have a reasonable explanation.
Her throat went dry at the thought; her thoughts were so crazy.
If this is true, obviously my father doesn't know about it.
Otherwise, he would have to be completely on guard.
When An Qingran thought of this, she couldn't sit still anymore, so she came to the East Warm Pavilion.
Mother and father were both there, they were coaxing An Mingchen, who was laughing so much. An Qingran couldn't help feeling warm in her heart when she saw her father and mother holding her younger brother together. This was the feeling of happiness. No matter who it was, she would not let them touch her happiness.
An Qingran walked in and helped them coax their brother. When An Mingchen saw her coming in, he asked her to hold him. She held him and he called her sister again. This time it was very clear. An Qingran smiled proudly. Lian Jinyu frowned and said, "Mingchen is so dependent on you as his sister. As a mother, do you think I should be jealous..."
"Mother..." An Qingran called out with a smile, "When my brother grows up, I will let him be with mother..."
An Zhongtao was standing next to him with a smile on his face.
