Chapter 197 How to Stay or Leave
"A few days ago, Yang Shoubei brought a generous gift on behalf of the Empress."
Speaking of this, I can't help but mention my experience in Liuren City.
Including abducted children.
Diao had only heard the general idea at first, but now she knew that it actually involved the royal family.
Her face turned unhappy and she felt even more sorry for the children.
Even a country woman like Diao should know the horror of the struggle for the throne.
This old country boy left behind a few pigs before he died, which would probably make his children quarrel over it, let alone the entire Xia Yuan Dynasty!
"According to you, our family has suffered an unexpected disaster?"
The Earl of Kangping's family was wealthy and seldom came to Lin'an City, but the manager of the village treated the Shen family well, so in Diao's heart, she still had a sense of belonging to the Earl's Mansion.
I originally thought that the other party had committed some heinous crime, so much so that the entire family was implicated, but now I know that there is no solid evidence at all.
How ridiculous?
"Standing on the wrong side is the biggest sin in itself." Chen Chunxing's eyes were extremely cold.
"Think about the Duke's Mansion? In order to give an explanation to Prince Li, they would abandon Xiao Xue without hesitation.
And what about Xiao Xue? For a maid, he threw the loyal servant sent by the other party into jail.
Such behavior is tantamount to turning against one's will.
But the other party still came to give gifts again and again, trying to save the situation!
Kang Pingbo is a stern man who doesn't know how to adapt. If he had even a little bit of the tact of the Duke, he wouldn't have ended up like this."
The words were not very pleasant, but they hit the nail on the head.
Diao pondered the meaning behind this and suddenly felt bored. She sighed, "Or maybe it's just that all the big shots are evil-hearted... You better be careful of Xiao Xue from now on! He's a man of both means and brains. I'm afraid Honglu County alone won't be able to contain him."
Chen Chunxing bared his teeth and pointed at himself in surprise, "Could it be that just because I'm in your eyes, my heart is clear?"
“…”
It’s true!
Worry about anyone else than her!
Diao almost forgot what kind of character her granddaughter was. She glared at her as if to cover up her mistake. "You've said so much, but it's all nonsense. Can you pick out the key points?"
Although they were talking about a very serious topic, Wu Min knew that she shouldn't laugh, but she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips.
For some unknown reason, most of the tension and worry in my heart disappeared.
In fact, she had known that this day would come. From the day the Shen family took her and Wu Qing in, it was destined that the two families could no longer be separated.
"The point is, if the Seventh Prince can ascend the throne, the Empress is willing to support the Jiang family's revival. This is largely why Yang Shoubei favored our family."
Chen Chunxing led the two of them to the utility room. Seeing this, Yang Yi led the mule around to the back door.
There's no need to hide these things from him.
There is no need to hide it from the old man who is brewing wine.
The utility room is filled with boxes.
Chen Chunxing opened the smaller one and said, "I dug this out in the West Garden. Manager Wu used it in exchange for you two siblings. Now he's used up some of it, and the rest will be returned to you."
The situation was urgent and inconvenient at the time, so she took advantage of Yang Yi's time to transfer all the things in the box into the space token. After arriving here, she quietly took them out.
Now that I have gained something from Jichang Pharmacy, there is no need to worry about it.
"The rest were some New Year gifts from Yang Shoubei, and some from the Empress. Although they all had legitimate excuses, I understand that they were actually targeting the Jiang family.
Now that the property has been returned to its original owner, I only want to ask you one thing: what are your plans for Wu Qing's future?"
Wu Min bit her lip tightly.
The glittering gold and silver in the dilapidated thatched hut seemed unable to leave a trace in those red eyes.
She just took a quick glance and refused to look again, kneeling down in front of Chen Chunxing without hesitation.
"Although Xiaoqing is the only remaining direct descendant of the Jiang family, his life was saved by the Shen family! I don't trust the garrison and the Queen. I just want to stay in the village and stay with my sister..."
Diao hurried over to help, patting Wu Min's knee in displeasure. "You kid, you can talk if you want to, but why are your legs so weak? Or maybe you haven't drunk enough bone soup!"
The girl, who had just had her neck straight and a stubborn look on her face, trembled subconsciously.
When an old lady feeds someone, she can’t use a bowl to measure.
There are the cheapest big bones on both sides, and she can do it for seven days in a row!
All the kids were drunk!
Chen Chunxing smiled and closed the box with his toes.
The room returned to normal in an instant.
"I'm not going to force you to leave. Not to mention how difficult it would be for the Seventh Prince to ascend the throne, even if we could wait until that day, do you really think that with the Queen's promise, you can easily support such a huge Earl's Mansion?"
"There's only so much meat. I'm afraid the people in the capital won't want to have another person to share it with."
Wu Min naturally understood this principle.
This is also one of the reasons why she was unwilling to join Yang Shoubei.
"So, a person always has to have a pursuit, whether it's politics, the military, or business. You two siblings should make plans in your mind early on."
Chen Chunxing sat on the box with his legs apart, a hint of interest in his eyes, and he looked very disgusting.
"I can give you time, but others may not. Rather than being forced to retreat step by step, it is better to find a smooth path for yourself as soon as possible."
"I've made it clear today. Go back and discuss it with Wu Qing. Think clearly as soon as possible about whether to stay or leave, and how to stay or leave."
Wu Min left the Shen family's yard with a pale face.
She didn't take those things with her either. She used the excuse that she couldn't take care of them and asked Diao to keep them for her.
Chen Chunxing spoke so clearly that it was inevitable that people would think a lot.
For Wu Min, being able to stumble to this point has already been a life-saving effort. Deep down, she doesn't want to change.
But the other party was right in saying that not everyone would wait for Wu Qing to grow up.
Once the Earl of Kangping's Mansion is rehabilitated, the side branches that were previously implicated will inevitably find various excuses to insert people into the main line.
She and Wu Qing were siblings in name, but ultimately one was the master and the other the servant, and she couldn't help him much.
Then, how can the children protect themselves?
Sometimes, just because you are willing to be ordinary doesn’t mean you are destined to be ordinary.
As soon as Wu Min left.
Diao glared at Chen Chunxing and shouted, "If you keep pretending, I'll show you! Why don't you just lift your legs up onto your shoulders?"
Chen Chunxing closed his legs and sat up straight, his nose not a nose and his eyes not eyes.
"If I don't scare her, these two people will be entangled until the emperor dies, and they may not dare to tell the truth to our family."
Considering Min's cautious nature, Diao didn't refute her, but said, "Don't you dare talk nonsense outside!"
Think about it.
Then he said something incomprehensible: "It's not easy for them... It's not easy for our third child either. I don't want to get involved in so many things, but who told you to pick up things randomly? Since you found it, you should do what you want."
"Tell me honestly, have you already had this idea in mind? Are you deliberately setting a trap for Min girl..."
Chen Chunxing patted his butt, stood up, and looked out the window with a smile.
He also said something incomprehensible.
"Next year, our third child will be ten years old, right? Well, a ten-year-old student isn't too young. Let Wu Qing sleep in the same room with the third child from now on. Don't let the fourth child disturb them before April."
