Chapter 052 Letter
Xia Xue looked at the panicked housekeeper and frowned slightly.
The butler of the Xiangfu Mansion is always calm. What happened?
"My Lord, this is bad."
"Speak slowly."
"A woman with a child came to the door, and she insisted that the Prime Minister was the one who started the mess and ended up abandoning him. Many people have gathered at the door now."
Chu Zhenxuan waved his hand and said, "For this kind of thing, just get rid of it. There's no need to report it."
"But, but," the butler hesitated.
"But what?" Xia Xue asked.
"That child looks very much like the Prime Minister."
Xia Xue:......
"Then go out and take a look."
Chu Zhenxuan was not interested at all, as he knew that the martial arts he practiced had kept him from losing his virginity, let alone having a child.
In this backward era, it is indeed not easy to find a few people who really look alike without blood relationship.
Xia Xue thought about it again.
Could it be that this stinky man got drunk one day and left a sperm outside without knowing it?
Chu Zhenxuan: His little woman actually doesn't believe him!
Chu Zhenxuan: +40.
Xia Xue: ???
You dare to add extra points? Are you feeling guilty?
"Let's go out and take a look." Chu Zhenxuan took Xia Xue's hand and walked out the door.
There were more people at the door of the prime minister's residence.
A woman covered in patches was holding a child and crying loudly.
The people behind him were talking about it.
"This Prime Minister Chu has always been upright. I heard that he only has one wife in his mansion, and has no concubines or maids. How come he has a child right away?"
"Alas, you can never know a person's heart by his appearance. I heard that the Prime Minister's wife is very powerful. How many men can refuse to take concubines, especially those in Prime Minister Chu's position? The first wife in the family is not virtuous and does not allow taking concubines. The Prime Minister can only go out and relax."
"This woman looks like she is from a poor family. I wonder if the Prime Minister's Mansion can accept her. But the child looks like the Prime Minister's."
"But I heard that the Prime Minister's wife has always been cruel. When she was in the Xia family, she was merciless to her sisters. I guess even if Prime Minister Chu agrees to recognize this child, she will kill the mother and keep the child."
Xia Xue didn't know that someone was leading the trend and directing the public opinion towards her.
When the housekeeper opened the door and saw the woman and child in front of her, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
This kid looks so damn much like Chu Zhenxuan.
Few people would believe that the child is not his.
Xia Xue secretly glanced at Chu Zhenxuan.
Chu Zhenxuan looked calm.
"Prime Minister Chu has come out. He has come out."
"Is that the one behind him the Prime Minister's wife?"
"Although she is wearing a veil, she looks like a beauty. Unfortunately, she has such a vicious heart."
People started talking again.
Chu Zhenxuan walked slowly to the woman. The woman was still crying. When she saw Chu Zhenxuan coming over, she cried even harder.
"In my memory, I have never seen you before. If you are confused for a moment and leave, I will miss you raising a child alone, and I will no longer bother with you."
The woman sobbed, "Master, you took me without knowing it..."
"The more you talk, the more ridiculous it gets." Just as the housekeeper was about to step forward, Xia Xue stopped him, "Let her finish. If you send her away without knowing the reason, the world will continue to criticize the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"It was the winter five years ago, at the foot of Hua'an Temple..."
The woman rambled on and on about how Chu Zhenxuan was injured and unconscious, with a high fever. She took off her clothes to cool Chu Zhenxuan down, and then...
Chu Zhenxuan was in a daze for more than ten days. Later, his men took him away, left her a token, and disappeared again.
Not long after Chu Zhenxuan left, she found out that she was pregnant. Because she was pregnant before marriage, she didn't dare to see anyone and gave birth to the child in secret. It was not until the child grew up and cried out to find his father that she decided to go down the mountain. After asking around, she found out that the child's father was the Prime Minister.
The story is quite melodramatic, and there are not many major flaws. It all depends on how Chu Zhenxuan dismantles it.
Turning to look at Chu Zhenxuan, Chu Zhenxuan frowned, with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.
uncertain???
She was full of confidence just now, but now this stinky man is not sure. Could it be that this is really his child?
That’s not right. Why does Chu Zhenxuan look a little confused? Could it be that he can’t remember what happened five years ago?
This idea shocked Xia Xue.
She had indeed never seen Chu Zhenxuan with this expression. If this was really his child, he would not be allowed to wander around outside any longer.
"Prince, how about..."
"Bring the person in!" The old lady's voice came from behind.
As soon as Old Madam Chu took action, the matter seemed to have been settled. The couple at the door entered the prime minister's residence, and everyone was talking about how this might be a sparrow turning into a phoenix.
The moment the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion closed, Li Tingting and Prince Lu stood up not far away with sinister smiles on their faces.
"Your Highness is truly a master. He even knew about Prime Minister Chu's injury and amnesia five years ago."
"This is not just my credit. If Madam Chu hadn't told the servants, I wouldn't have known about it."
"This old lady Chu looks smart, but she actually betrayed her son. The Chu family will have no peace for the time being." Li Tingting smiled, "Also, I want to congratulate the prince. I heard that Hong Liangdi is in the limelight. Not only did the emperor not touch other concubines for her, but he also did not attend the court for several days in a row. The important ministers and elders all wrote to the emperor, saying that the emperor was not doing the right thing."
Prince Lu pinched Li Tingting's face in approval, "Little devil, this is all your credit. I will remember your merit."
Li Tingting twisted her waist and inadvertently leaned into Prince Lu's arms, "Prince, you are so bad."
Prince Lu laughed a few times and whispered in Li Tingting's ear, "Ting'er, you are so coquettish."
Li Tingting: ...
In the Prime Minister's Residence, Old Madam Chu brought everyone directly to the Chu Mansion Ancestral Hall.
After bowing to her ancestors, Old Madam Chu stood up.
Chu Zhenxuan didn't move, and Xia Xue naturally didn't move either.
"Xuan Er"
Chu Zhenxuan:......
Madam Chu sighed, "Prime Minister, we haven't talked here for a long time. I remember the last time, before Xia Xue got married, you were determined not to marry her, saying that you already had a girl you loved. But no matter how much mother asked, you refused to tell me who that woman was. Mother thought you didn't want to get married, so she selfishly decided to let you marry Xia Xue."
Is there such a thing?
No wonder Chu Zhenxuan had such a bad attitude before, it turned out he didn’t want to marry her.
I've already married her, so no matter what, I'm the principal wife.
As long as I'm alive, none of you can ever dream of becoming the Prime Minister's wife!
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Xia Xue sniffed.
Chu Zhenxuan grabbed Xia Xue's hand tightly, clasped it, and intertwined their fingers. Although he had lost his memory, the pure yang energy in his body should not be false.
Chu Zhenxuan turned and looked at Xia Xue, as if saying.
Do you believe me?
Xia Xue smiled. Although her mind told her that she would probably be slapped in the face if she believed Chu Zhenxuan, she still wanted to believe him instinctively.
Seeing the struggle in Xia Xue's eyes, Chu Zhenxuan held her hand tightly and looked up.
"Mother, you know that your son lost his past memories three years ago. What kind of response do you expect from him when you mention this now?"
