Chapter 114 The immediate benefits are enough to make them lower their so-called proud heads
Aunt Li was extremely anxious. She couldn't give up. She must not be given to Lord Zheng by Gu Jiacheng.
She still has Xuan Ge'er. If she leaves, what will happen to Xuan Ge'er?
Aunt Li shuddered at the thought of Wang's viciousness. That vicious woman, Wang, would definitely not let Xuan go.
Thinking of this, Aunt Li could no longer control her emotions. She knelt on the ground with a plop and begged for mercy from the servants in the gatehouse.
"Please, let me in. I really have something urgent to see the Crown Prince's wife."
However, the gatekeepers and servants ignored her.
Chu Nanxin happened to see this scene. Gu Chengyan was ostracized everywhere in Baima Academy and was not well fed or clothed.
He sent someone to deliver a letter and asked someone to send him some things.
As for the person who made things difficult for him, it was naturally Chu Ruohan, who had been arranged in advance.
Although Gu Chengyan is the third son of the Anyang Marquis's Mansion, Chu Ruohan is the Crown Prince's wife and controls all the power in the mansion.
Those scholars pretend to be serious and righteous on the surface, but they actually know the truth in their hearts.
Chu Ruohan, the Crown Prince's wife, is the real future master of the Anyang Marquis' Mansion.
The most important thing is money. Although these scholars always regard themselves as noble in their daily lives, when it comes to money, they will still lower their so-called proud heads for the sake of immediate interests.
Money can connect all worlds. As long as the money is paid, Chu Ruohan can use anyone, whether it is a human or a ghost...
Chu Nanxin specifically asked Aunt Zhao for help and finally got the job of delivering things to Gu Chengyan.
She hadn't seen Gu Chengyan for a long time, so she wanted to take this opportunity to let Gu Chengyan know that she was always thinking about him.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying like this? Get up quickly."
When Chu Nanxin saw Aunt Li and her son kneeling on the ground crying, he pretended to be surprised and walked forward to help Aunt Li up.
"Who is this girl?" Aunt Li looked at the strange woman in front of her, her eyes full of confusion.
"Aren't you looking for the Crown Prince's wife? She's my elder sister."
Chu Nanxin raised the corners of his mouth, and he looked gentle, non-confrontational and approachable.
If Chu Ruohan or Chu Yueshu were here, they would tear off her fake face. Chu Nanxin had always been like this, pretending to be deceitful...
"It turns out to be Miss Chu." Aunt Li said hurriedly, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
But a servant beside her interrupted at this moment and said, "This is not some girl. She has long been admitted to the Marquis's Mansion and is now the concubine of the Third Young Master. Don't call her aunt by mistake."
When the servant said this, there was obvious sarcasm and disdain on his face.
When Chu Nanxin heard this, he felt secretly resentful.
She was not favored by Gu Chengyan in the Marquis' Mansion, Chu Ruohan didn't like her either, and even the servants dared to look down on her.
She secretly swore in her heart that when she gained power one day, she would sell out all those who had looked down on her and let them know the consequences of offending her.
In the past, Aunt Li would not have taken a concubine like Chu Nanxin, who was of lower status than her, seriously.
But now Aunt Li has no other options left, and she regards Chu Nanxin as her last straw.
"Sister, can you go in and report this?" Aunt Li said anxiously, her eyes full of pleading.
"this……"
Chu Nanxin hesitated for a moment in embarrassment, then looked around and pulled Aunt Li to a dark, seldom-traveled place.
"Sister, have you encountered any difficulties?" Her voice was soft and gentle.
When Aunt Li heard this, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes.
She subconsciously hugged Xuan Ge'er in her arms. She had experienced too many hardships and grievances along the way, and her heart was already overflowing with bitterness.
But this woman in front of her was only meeting him for the first time. Could she really trust him?
Aunt Li opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back.
Seeing Aunt Li's hesitation, Chu Nanxin understood.
She sighed softly, a helpless and lonely look on her face.
He said slowly, "As you can see, I don't have much status in the mansion. Although we live under the same roof, my elder sister has never taken care of me."
Having said this, she lowered her head slightly, with a barely perceptible resentment flashing in her eyes, "I am a concubine's daughter, different from these legitimate daughters." She deliberately emphasized the word "legitimate daughter", her tone full of envy and unwillingness.
And these two words, like a sharp dagger, pierced straight into Aunt Li's heart.
Her heart suddenly moved, and she couldn't help but look at Xuan Ge'er in her arms. Xuan Ge'er's tender little face, with big eyes, looked back at her.
Yes, her brother Xuan was also born out of wedlock. If Xuan was born out of wedlock, why would she be so humble and seek a way out for herself?
In this large and deep courtyard, children born out of wedlock seemed to be inferior from the moment they were born, and had to endure countless contempts and bullying.
Thinking of this, Aunt Li's defenses began to collapse little by little.
Of course, Aunt Li was also cautious and only told part of the story, not the whole story.
But when Chu Nanxin saw the child in her arms, he understood everything.
The news that Gu Junze was not well was widely spread in the capital. Chu Nanxin naturally knew about it, and she was happy for a long time.
So what if he's the prince? He's just a useless piece of shit...
Chu Ruohan wanted to adopt a child to keep up appearances. Of course, she didn't want Chu Ruohan to get what she wanted, but it was okay to give her some trouble.
A sly look flashed through Chu Nan's mind. "I know something about this. Sister is really blinded by greed. How could she accept a beggar of unknown origin as her adopted son?"
"The Marquis was furious about this. But my sister is resourceful and has coaxed the prince into submission. No matter what she does, the prince indulges her."
As she spoke, she carefully observed Aunt Li's reaction, and saw a strange look flash in Aunt Li's eyes.
Aunt Li's heart suddenly moved, and an idea flashed through her mind.
She frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Can you bring that little beggar out?"
Aunt Li lowered her voice, she was really afraid of being heard by others.
"what are you up to?"
"I am really worried. I can't let a beggar ruin the reputation of the Crown Prince's wife." Aunt Li explained hurriedly, pretending to look worried.
In fact, I had other plans in mind.
She thought that if she could get rid of this little beggar, perhaps Chu Ruohan could adopt Xuan Ge'er.
This way, she and Xuan Ge'er still have a glimmer of hope.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Aunt Li thought she was unwilling to help, so she knelt down with a plop.
Chu Nanxin quickly reached out to help Aunt Li up, "Sister, what are you doing? I'm here to help you..."
