The Marquis was originally very manic, but after listening to what Chu Weiyue said, he calmed down.
After being praised so highly, he nodded subconsciously.
"Hearing what you said, it makes some sense. Besides, the emperor has already agreed. If you do this, it will indeed make the emperor more favorable to our family..."
"So, Dad, giving up a piece of land is just a loss of money at most, but it will be of great benefit to you and your brother's career. You must know clearly what is more important."
Chu Weiyue took the opportunity to say a few more nice words, and this time the Marquis finally smiled knowingly: "Okay, then do as you say, and you can decide on that piece of land."
After asking a few more questions, the Marquis took out a land deed from his sleeve and tried to hand it to her.
Chu Ranxin had been hiding nearby and watching. This scene made her tremble with anger.
Unable to bear it any longer, he strode over and snatched the deed.
"Dad, you can't give it to her. If you give it to her, our mansion will be criticized even more!"
"Chu Ranxin, stop making trouble here. I'm doing this for the good of my family. You're deliberately going against me and the emperor by saying this."
Chu Weiyue took a few steps forward with an arrogant look, completely overwhelming her with his momentum.
But Chu Ranxin was still unconvinced. He snorted with disdain and tried to comfort the Marquis with all his heart.
"Dad, have you ever thought about this? If she really does this, it will undoubtedly make the outside world think that we are guilty and want to make amends. Those who have ulterior motives will make a big fuss about this matter, so this fiefdom must not be given away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Song came out from the side and joined in.
"Master, what Ran Xin said makes sense. We have already been insinuated about this matter. If we are kind at this time, we will definitely be criticized. You have to consider it from many aspects."
Originally, the Marquis wanted to agree, but after hearing the mother and daughter's words of consolation, he became hesitant.
Chu Weiyue's face looked grim, with intense anger in his eyes.
"You two are just making up stories! Dad, I've said everything I need to say. You should decide for yourself what's more important."
Not wanting to say more to him, I turned and walked towards the backyard.
Because she knew very well that Song and Chu Ranxin had always been against her and would definitely strongly oppose this matter.
And her father was an out-and-out miser, extremely greedy for money. He would hesitate after a little persuasion and would rather go to her grandmother.
Grandma is fiddling with a pot of orchid, which is blooming very beautifully.
Ever since she followed the methods Chu Weiyue told her, the flowers in her yard have never died again.
Arriving at the yard, Chu Weiyue immediately made an aggrieved expression. Grandma hurriedly put down the orchid and came to her side.
"You were fine when you left this morning. What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly so frowning? Did Wen Jingchi reject you again?" Grandma narrowed her eyes and looked understanding.
Chu Weiyue frowned awkwardly: "Grandma, can't you say something nice? What do you mean he rejected me again? This is a different time, and now I am the only one who can reject him!"
She raised her head arrogantly on purpose, which made her grandmother giggle and she pulled Chu Weiyue to appreciate the orchids with her.
After making her very happy, he took the opportunity to talk about building a charity hall.
"Grandma, the emperor has agreed to this matter, but my aunt and sister think it's inappropriate. Why don't you make the decision..."
Chu Weiyue knew that grandma was the most soft-hearted person, so she deliberately described the children's experiences as miserable.
After hearing this, grandma's eyes turned red.
"I was abducted when I was young, so I know how pitiful those children are. Even if I will be criticized, I have decided to give up that piece of land. If your father and the Song family disagree, let them come to me. I will support you in everything! If they dare to say no, I will not forgive them."
These words made Chu Weiyue smile brightly, and she immediately gave the old lady a big hug.
"Grandma, I know you are the most righteous grandma! If you were a boy, you would definitely have a better future than daddy..."
Flattery never wears out, and after being praised by her, the wrinkles at the corners of grandma's eyes were smoothed out.
He took Chu Weiyue to admire the orchids for a whole hour before he was willing to let her go.
Before going to bed at night, Chu Weiyue heard a quarrel coming from outside the yard.
When I came to the garden, I found my father being scolded by my grandmother.
There was a little friction between the two, and he was slapped by his grandmother. In the end, the Marquis reluctantly gave the title deed to him.
As soon as Chu Weiyue woke up the next morning, she received the land deed specially delivered by her grandmother's maid.
Because the marquis's mansion donated land for free to build the charity hall, the people praised it.
Knowing that this was Chu Weiyue's achievement, her reputation among the people increased.
Considering that Chu Weiyue was an out-and-out lovelorn in the past, the shocking reversal now has become a hot topic among the people.
That evening, the emperor changed into light clothes, quietly left the palace through the back door and came to the street, where he heard Chu Weiyue's name.
"Chu Weiyue has changed a lot. Now she actually cares so much about the people. She is really an amazing woman!"
"Maybe someone deliberately spread rumors in the past, so everyone thinks so badly of her. We haven't seen it with our own eyes, so who knows whether it's true or not."
"These official families have too many gossips. Maybe this young lady was too low-key in the past, so people made up rumors about her. Now her actions prove that she is really extraordinary!"
…
After standing by and listening for a while, the emperor curled up a faint smile at the corner of his lips, walked around here, and then returned to the palace to rest.
As the morning court session the next day was coming to an end, the emperor suddenly remembered the remarks he had heard yesterday and could not help laughing a few times.
"Lord Chu, you really gave birth to a good daughter. I heard that the people are praising her. But it's a pity that she is a girl, otherwise I would definitely give her an important position!"
The emperor was just joking and then retired from court.
Even until the emperor left, the smile on the marquis' face did not disappear, and he stood even more proudly among the ministers.
He was originally targeted because of the human trafficking incident and couldn't hold his head up in front of others, but now his face is radiant with joy.
After returning, he immediately called Chu Weiyue to the yard.
"Dad knows everything you have done recently. You have done a great job. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. Dad will definitely support you. It is also my responsibility to do something for those children. It can be regarded as sharing the worries of the emperor..."
Chu Weiyue secretly complained in her heart, it was only because of the emperor's praise, otherwise this stingy father would not say such a thing!
"In that case, why don't Daddy also donate some money!" she suggested.
After a moment of hesitation, the Marquis's face looked a little ugly.
The words had already been spoken, so he naturally couldn't go back on his word and could only reluctantly take out fifty taels of silver.
