: Being Threatened (Third Update)
She adjusted briefly and got out of the carriage.
Grandma Zhou got the benefit and led her in diligently.
Besides Aunt Qi, the most useful person in front of the old lady is Aunt Zhou. Compared with Aunt Qi, Aunt Zhou is more smooth.
She looked at Chu Yunjin and said, "Miss, I'll go and answer my question right now. You can go back to the yard and change your clothes before going over."
"Thank you, Aunt Zhou." Chu Yunjin said warmly.
Aunt Zhou curtsied and left immediately.
Chu Yunjin returned to her yard and changed her clothes.
Dongyue stepped forward and said, "Master, the Marquis took that woman with him when he was in office. I heard that she has excellent medical skills and is very famous in the local area."
"How could such a woman have to settle for being a concubine in the Hou Mansion?" Chu Yunjin raised her eyebrows, "It seems like something is wrong."
"When the eldest lady learned about this, she went to the courtyard first, but was stopped by the people sent by the Marquis. The eldest lady was furious and went to the old lady's place." Dongyue replied.
"Oh." Chu Yunjin pursed his lips and looked at his own appearance in the bronze mirror, "Go and have a look."
Immediately, Chu Yunjin walked unhurriedly to the old lady's yard.
Aunt Zhou was already waiting. When she came forward, she gave her a look that meant the old lady was angry.
She smiled back and entered slowly.
When the old lady saw Chu Yunjin, there was a rare tenderness on her face, "Jin girl is back."
"Grandma." Chu Yun was blessed with beauty.
"Just in time, I met your father." The old lady said again.
"Yes." Chu Yunjin then walked up to Lord Chu and said, "Father."
"Oh." Lord Chu didn't even look at him, he just responded indifferently.
Chu Yunjin did not expect that Lord Chu would treat her so coldly. However, in the impression of the original owner, her father was already very unfamiliar. It can be seen that Lord Chu did not care about this daughter.
.
Chu Yunjin sneered in his heart and just stood there quietly.
Mrs. Chu held the handkerchief and wiped her tears sadly.
"Mother." Chu Yunjin saluted Mrs. Chu.
Mrs. Chu didn't give her a look at all, she just raised her eyes and looked at the old lady, "My daughter-in-law is not an unreasonable person. If Mr. Hou insists on taking a concubine, there is no way that my daughter-in-law will not agree. It's just that she brought a concubine out of the blue."
A woman, but I don’t know where she came from. My daughter-in-law..."
Chu Yunjin understood that she did not exist at all in front of these parents.
She just stood there with her head lowered.
The old lady waved to her, "Jin girl, come here."
"Yes." Chu Yunjin lowered his eyes and responded.
She then stood obediently beside the old lady.
When the Marquis of Chu saw the old lady's attitude towards Chu Yunjin, he looked at her squarely.
He saw that she was wearing a purple haze-colored dress, and her appearance was also revealed. She was completely different from the girl in his impression who was trembling with fear when she saw him.
How could there be such a big difference in just half a year?
Lord Chu couldn't help but look at Chu Yunjin a few times.
Chu Yunjin was not afraid at all, and looked blankly at Lord Chu's appraising eyes.
Father and daughter looked at each other, one was stunned and surprised, the other was calm and composed.
Lord Chu suddenly saw a different light in her eyes, it was that kind of... indescribable arrogance.
Yes, arrogant, this look was only seen by the princes he met after entering the palace.
How can it be?
Lord Chu has seen countless people, but when he looked again, he found that the eyes of Chu Yunjin in front of him were a bit soft. He blinked hard. Could it be that he was deceived?
Mrs. Chu saw that Mr. Chu did not listen to her complaints at all, but instead stared at Chu Yunjin.
She cried quickly and said, "I never thought that the Marquis and my second uncle would be the same."
"What?" Lord Chu came to his senses and did not hear Mrs. Chu's complaint clearly.
"It's the same as spoiling a concubine and destroying a wife." Madam Chu said loudly, "If this is the case, it is better to divorce me. This is better than being like the second brother and sister, who have all kinds of pain in their hearts and can only hold it in."
Chu Yunjin pursed her lips, wondering why she was comparing herself to the second lady.
Obviously, this is to remind the old lady that the men in the Chuhou Mansion all have this habit of spoiling their concubines and destroying their wives. If word spread, how could any woman dare to marry into the Chuhou Mansion?
If you are not afraid that she will cause trouble, you should give her an explanation.
Mrs. Chu really knows how to leverage others' strength.
Lord Chu frowned deeply as he listened to Mrs. Chu's words, "What are you talking about?"
"What should we do with the woman that the Marquis brought back?" Mrs. Chu asked.
The Marquis of Chu said, "Of course I will stay in the Marquis Mansion."
"The name is not justified..." Mrs. Chu held the handkerchief, "What's going on in her family? Even if she wants to be brought in, there should be regulations."
"It's just wishful thinking on my part." Mr. Chu Hou said with a bitter smile, "Let her live here now, and we will make plans later. If she is willing, I would like to ask the emperor to grant a marriage and marry her as an equal wife."
"Nonsense!" the old lady shouted angrily.
"Mother, she..." Lord Chu stepped forward and whispered a few words in her ear.
The old lady's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she said, "Are you sure?"
"My son was not sure, so he had the courage to bring the person back." Lord Chu looked at the old lady, "I also asked my mother to help me."
"In that case, let's settle the people down first." The old lady whispered.
"Thank you, mother." Lord Chu received the old lady's approval and quickly bowed his hands.
Madam Chu was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that the old lady actually agreed.
The old lady just looked at Mrs. Chu slowly, "As the eldest son of the house, you will always be the mistress of the Chuhou Mansion, but you always think of some evil ways. If it weren't for Brother Yin's sake, the Chuhou Mansion would be afraid
I can't tolerate you either."
"Old madam, my daughter-in-law is just in a hurry." Mrs. Chu quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
The old lady said calmly, "I have never been threatened by anyone."
Mrs. Chu lowered her head, not daring to make any more noise.
Chu Yunjin narrowed his eyes, the excitement was really interesting.
She began to wonder about the woman brought by the Marquis of Chu. She was able to get the old lady to allow her to stay. This shows that there was a reason behind this.
The old lady looked at Chu Yunjin and said, "Jin girl will go to her place later to have a look."
"Ah?" Chu Yunjin looked at the old lady in surprise.
The old lady clapped her hand and said, "Go ahead."
"Yes." Chu Yunjin lowered his eyes and responded.
The old lady actually asked her to see it, there must be something hidden.
After Chu Yunjin left, Mrs. Chu was also sent away by the old lady.
The Marquis of Chu was left alone.
"Mother."
"Are you really going to do this?" The old lady looked at him.
"My son has been waiting for her for so long, and now he has finally waited for her. I don't want to lose him again." Mr. Chu said bluntly.
