The two elders of the Chu family were stunned for a long time. When they came to their senses, their first reaction was not to look into the box, but to frantically slide off the stool.
Kneel face-to-face with Huo Jin!
He was practically begging for mercy, "Lord Huo... I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare..."
Huo Jin, “…”
Does he look that much like a bandit?
Facing this situation for the first time, Huo Jin helplessly cast a pleading look at Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan retorted arrogantly, "You little brat, you dared to tease me earlier, but I'm not helping you now!"
The man pitifully tugged at her skirt.
He glanced at her protruding belly, his eyes softening, and begged her to consider the child's sake...
Chu Yuan smiled and advised, "Father and Mother, get up. He is a junior. How can an elder bow so deeply to a junior? You are making him suffer. You will shorten his lifespan by a few years."
After being half-persuaded and half-intimidated by Chu Yuan, Chu's parents finally got up.
He also took the things out of the box in a daze.
The gold plaque, bearing the four large characters "As if the Emperor were personally present," has a dull, faded color, clearly indicating it is not a commonly used plaque.
Chu Yuan had seen one on him before, and it was completely different from this one.
Before Chu Yuan could ask, Huo Jin lowered her eyes and said, "This... was given to me by my mother when I was six years old, before she passed away..."
She told me not to tell anyone, and not to show it to anyone else, because it would bring me death…
Others might not understand what she was saying, but Chu Yuan understood it perfectly.
So that's what his background was like?
Looking at Huo Jin, she felt her vision blurring. How had he endured so many days with a father like that?
Chu's parents had never been exposed to these things in their lives, and they did not immediately understand. However, Chu Xu studied the works of various philosophers, policy essays, and historical books. After staring at the gold medal for a long time, he was greatly shocked.
Pointing at Huo Jin, "You you you...you..."
Chu Yuan was afraid that he would frighten the two elders if he said it, so she quickly picked up a vegetable ball and stuffed it into his mouth. "Alright, alright, just understand your brother-in-law's sincerity. Pretend you don't know anything else and say less."
The Chu family elders were bewildered.
What is it that they don't understand at all?
Chu Xu swallowed the dumpling in his mouth, his excitement subsiding. Seeing this, he silently moved to the side of the two elders and whispered a few words.
Chu's parents glared at Huo Jin, who had already stood up, their eyes, like copper bells, seemed to tremble with fear.
I dared not ask, my heart pounding, the atmosphere even stranger than before I knew.
Huo Jin smiled bitterly, completely unprepared for this outcome.
Shouldn't we be moved by his honesty? Shouldn't we then share both good times and bad from now on?
As a result, they didn't even get to enjoy the delicious meal.
Only Chu Yuan, this carefree pregnant woman, after eating and drinking her fill, touched her belly and said, "Then, Father and Mother, I'll go back to my room first."
Huo Jin pushed back her chair. "I'm going back to my room too."
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a series of surprised and speechless expressions from the Chu family of three.
Chu Yuan couldn't help but slap him.
Huo Jin laughed awkwardly, "Well, I meant Yuan'er's room."
Father Chu closed his eyes.
Chu Xu lowered his head and ate his rice, pretending not to hear.
A meme perfectly suits him right now: "Luckily, I'm deaf, blind, and illiterate."
Finally, it was Chu's mother who, after several changes in expression, waved her hand and said, "Go on, but keep your voice down."
One sentence was enough to make Chu Yuan blush like a shrimp!
Back inside, he beat Huo Jin mercilessly, yelling, "It's all your fault! You really thought no one noticed..."
Huo Jin's cheeks were unusually red as he let Chu Yuan punch him, clearing his throat uncomfortably.
After being tempted by his mother-in-law, Huo Jin didn't dare to do anything reckless that night.
The next morning, Chu Yuan was wrapped up like a ball of fur and brought before the Chu family elders.
“Father, Mother, Yuan’er will give birth in a few days. There are too many people around this courtyard, which is not good for her and the baby’s safety. So, I want to take her to a safer place and bring her back after her postpartum period.”
Chu's mother looked unwell, and every time Huo Jin spoke, she would pinch Chu's father's hand.
The father was in so much pain that his eyes and eyebrows were all furrowed together.
After Huo Jin finally finished speaking, Chu's mother's eyebrows shot up. "Who, who are your parents? What are you shouting for!"
Huo Jin: "What about your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
Chu's mother, "..."
What a terrible child! Not only does he have a bad reputation, but he's also incredibly shameless.
What did the Chu family ever do to deserve such a son-in-law?
So all that emotional stunt last night was just a prelude to kidnap her precious daughter and unborn grandson today?
Chu's mother was both angry and reluctant, and began to wipe away her tears.
Father Chu remained calm, as if he had long anticipated this day.
Chu Xu stepped forward and grabbed Chu Yuan's arm. "Sister, would you like to go with him?"
Chu Yuan followed his gaze to Huo Jin. The man's face was covered by a cloak, and his outfit was clean and neat, but it could not hide his three-dimensional jawline or his noble and dignified demeanor.
Nodding, "Yes, Xiaoxu, be good at home and take good care of your parents. Your older sister will definitely come back to cheer you on before your exam!"
"Okay," Chu Xu replied in a thick nasal voice, releasing Chu Yuan's hand.
Then, she turned fierce and warned Huo Jin, "Huo...brother-in-law! You better treat my sister well. If I find out you've bullied her, I won't let you off the hook!"
Huo Jin chuckled to himself; how old was this little brat, yet he dared to talk such big talk?
But it doesn't sound unpleasant.
So he reached out and ruffled Chu Xu's hair vigorously, saying, "I promise you."
