Chapter 87
Before Chen Jin could return to Chu Xiuming, he waited to return to Chu Xiuyuan. In just a while, Chu Xiuyuan looked much thinner. Not only that, he felt a whole body full of evil spirits. However, after seeing Chen Jin, Chu Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law."
"I asked Mama Zhao to make the bottom of the pot, and the kitchen also sliced beef and mutton. You can use more later, and you will lose a lot of weight." Chen Jin looked at Chu Xiuyuan and said with a smile.
Dongdong sat in Shen Jin's arms and looked at Chu Xiuyuan curiously. Obviously, he no longer knew Chu Xiuyuan. Chu Xiuyuan smiled and looked at Dongdong's appearance and said, "Okay."
Chen Jin smiled and said, "The little guy doesn't know you anymore, go and hug you and be intimate."
As he said that, he asked Mama Zhao to pick Dongdong up and send it to Chu Xiuyuan. Dongdong widened his eyes and looked at Chen Jin who was still sitting aside, but was honestly held by Chu Xiuyuan.
Chu Xiuyuan hadn't hugged the child for a few months, and he was inevitably a little unfamiliar. The hugged Dongdong screamed twice. Chu Xiuyuan quickly adjusted and let Dongdong sit on his lap, holding Dongdong with one hand, and took out a chain from his clothes and put it on.
Only amber came out from Chen Jin, which was as big as a fist.
"Ah?" Dongdong reached out and grabbed it, and then shouted excitedly.
Seeing Dongdong liked it, Chu Xiuyuan's expression became much softer, and even the evil aura on his body seemed to have been reduced. Chen Jin looked at it and didn't say much, just asked, "What danger did you encounter this time?"
"Nothing is dangerous." Chu Xiuyuan said with a smile, "It's just a defense, and there is no conflict with the barbarians."
In fact, Chen Jin also guessed that if it was really dangerous, Chu Xiuming would not only leave Chu Xiuyuan.
Chen Jin didn't ask any more questions when he heard this, "I asked someone to send some roasted whole lamb and dozens of jars of burning knives to the military camp in your name."
Chu Xiuyuan held Dongdong with both hands so that Dongdong could stand on him safely, happily stepping around, "Sister-in-law Xie." He knew that Chen Jin was giving him a face.
It happened that Mama Zhao said that the pot was ready, so Chen Jin and Chu Xiuyuan went to use the food. This time they went out, they brought some dry food. They would not be hungry, but they would not eat anything good.
Chu Xiuyuan would not be polite at home. Dongdong can now eat some complementary food, but hot pot meat cannot be eaten, so Chen Jin asked Madam Zhao to carry him down to feed him.
When Chu Xiuyuan used up, the two of them went to the conference hall and called Zhao, General Manager Wang and Zhao Duan over. Zhao Duan saw Chu Xiuyuan for the first time. He knew Chu Xiuyuan's identity. He looked a little excited and bowed directly. Before he could kneel down, Chu Xiuyuan quickly held his arm, making him unable to kneel down. He said seriously, "Why should uncle do this? If it were not for the Zhao clan's strong help, Xiuyuan would not be today."
Zhao Duan's eyes were red and he looked at Chu Xiuyuan with excitement. He didn't expect Chu Xiuyuan to follow Chen Jin's name. The Zhao clan was willing to help him because he knew that the prince would be a wise king. It was a pity for the prince, so he took the risk. For these reasons, the Zhao clan did so many things, and the Zhao clan has been despised by Qingliu.
The Zhao clan never regretted it, but when he heard Chu Xiuyuan's words, Zhao Duan felt a little more emotional. They did not sacrifice in vain.
Chu Xiuming also had his eyes red and continued, "My father told me before his death that our father and son could survive because more people gave their lives, reputation and future for us, we both remembered them, and would never forget them."
Chen Jin looked at Chu Xiuyuan and seemed to see something different from him. It seemed that Chu Xiuyuan was no longer Chu Xiuming's younger brother, but he seemed to have become the prince's grandson, a person who was given hope by many people and carries many things. Zhao Duan felt that such a long wait was not in vain. The Chu family taught him very well, and he was wise and responsible. "It is really a blessing for the Apocalypse to have Your Highness."
Manager Wang and Manager Zhao looked at each other and were also excited. Chu Xiuyuan could be said to have been taken care of by them.
Chu Xiuyuan said, "You are the one who is the lucky one of the Tianqi, and it is also the blessing of our ancestors."
"There are still many opportunities to meet in the future." Chen Jin had already finished a bowl of tea and ate a few more pieces of pastries. Seeing that they were still complimenting each other, he spoke, "You all sit down first and talk to Xiuyuan about the matter during this period. Xiuyuan has to go to the military camp in the evening. You will discuss it together tomorrow."
Chu Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law said, sit down first, there are many opportunities to work together in the future, and we will talk about it slowly at that time."
Zhao Duan also realized his incompetence and said, "Your Highness is saying."
After Chu Xiuyuan sat down, Zhao Duan and the others sat down separately. Chu Xiuyuan said, "I'm just going to ask me Xiuyuan."
"It's not consistent with reason." Zhao Duan said.
Manager Zhao smiled and said, "Your Highness's identity is not enough to be explained thoroughly now. Why don't you call Your Highness the Major General like us?"
Zhao Duan then said, "It's good."
After the title was settled, Mr. Wang and others told Chu Xiuyuan about the matter during this period. When they talked about Xue Qiao, they saw Chu Xiuyuan, who had been listening silently, couldn't help but ask, "But it is true?"
"I don't know." Chen Jin looked at Chu Xiuyuan and said, "I'm afraid I have to wait for my husband to come back before I can identify it."
"It should be true." Chu Xiuyuan said, "If there were no such support, the Prince of England would not have been like this."
In fact, everyone had thought about this, and Chu Xiuyuan continued to ask, "How are you going?"
"If it is true, we will naturally find a way to bring the person back." Chen Jin said, "Xue Qiao is still locked up now."
Chu Xiuyuan looked at Manager Zhao and asked, "What did those people say?"
"They don't know anything." Manager Zhao said, "They asked everything they could, but they really didn't know anything about the people sent by the Prince of England.
Chu Xiuyuan said, "What about Xue Qiao?"
"Every three days, someone will ask her, but she has not spoken yet." Manager Wang said.
Chu Xiuyuan was silent for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, if the child is real, will the brother agree?"
As soon as this was said, Chen Jin did not speak. Instead, Manager Zhao and Manager Wang were silent. Will Chu Xiuming agree? They didn't know, and they were afraid that more of it might be rejection.
Chen Jin said, "If possible, my husband will naturally want to exchange that child for it, not just because the child is the third brother." Chen Jin did not say the rest, but everyone already understood that no one could guarantee whether a person like the Prince of Ying would act as agreed. If he gave in and let him taste the sweetness, would he directly hold the child and ask for more in the future?
Everyone was silent. Chu Xiuyuan pursed his lips and said, "If that child is true, he must be kept."
For him, the Chu family has sacrificed more. In this situation, Chu Xiuyuan doesn't want to see the Chu family sacrifice again, let alone a child.
Several people tacitly stopped talking about this matter, but instead talked about other things. Chen Jin looked at Chu Xiuyuan and said, "Since you are back, I will leave the matters in the border town to you in the future."
Chu Xiuyuan looked at Chen Jin with some confusion, and Chen Jin said, "If it's okay, I won't come to the conference hall. If you have something to do, please look for Xiuyuan."
"Sister-in-law." Chu Xiuyuan said, "You'd better come on."
Chen Jin smiled and said, "I want to take care of Dongdong. Just come to me if you have something to do."
Because of Chen Jin's decision, Zhao Duan could not help but look down on her much, and made a quick decision without any interest in power. No wonder he saw that Chu Xiuyuan truly respected Chen Jin's sister-in-law.
"Okay, don't say it." Seeing that Chu Xiuyuan was going to refuse, Chen Jin spoke, "That's it."
Chu Xiu saw that Chen Jin was really unwilling to do so, so he stopped refusing. Chen Jin felt much more relaxed. At this moment, she was so tired because of these things that she had specially asked Mama Zhao to get a lot of walnut kernels and almond kernels.
After the matter was arranged, Chen Jin left with satisfaction, and the few people who were still in the chamber were a little amused and crying, "Madam is really..." They didn't say that, because they didn't know how to say it.
In fact, this is exactly what Chen Jin is smart. If Chu Xiuyuan had already returned, she was still grasping the affairs of the border town. Although Chu Xiuyuan, Manager Zhao and Manager Wang would not feel anything wrong, people like Zhao Duan would feel uncomfortable. It would be thankless to sit down like this. Sooner or later, they would have to let go. It would be better to take the initiative to propose it. I think that if Chen Jin takes power, those people will not be as worried as this time.
The most important point is to say that Chen Jin has no ambitions. To be precise, she has no ambitions. She doesn’t like these at all. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility, and every decision affects many people. Chen Jin doesn’t like this feeling. She prefers to be spoiled by Chu Xiuming every day, accompanying her son to eat and bask in the sun. Sometimes she talks nonsense in front of Chu Xiuming, and doesn’t have to worry about anything.
The weather gradually became colder. Since Chen Jin didn't have to go to the conference hall, he felt relieved all over. He started choosing a leather bag early, and then discussed the style of clothes with the embroiderer in the mansion.
Not only did it for Chu Xiuming, Chu Xiuming, Dongdong and Shen Xi, but also for Zhao Duan, General Manager Wang, Manager Zhao and others. Because the winter in the border town was too cold, Chen Jin specially made it thicker for Zhao Duan and others. Manager Zhao and General Manager Wang never got married, and although Zhao Duan had a wife and daughter, he did not bring it here.
In addition to theirs, Chen Jin also chose a lot of things to send to the homes of other generals in the border town. Not only that, he also left a private room and sent a lot of fabrics and cotton to make new clothes and shoes for all the soldiers in the border town.
In this case, because there is too much to do, Chen Jin hired a lot of people and gave them to do it. He would do as much work as possible. After it was done, he would be sent to the side door of the General's Mansion. Naturally, someone would accept it there. After the wages were registered, he would continue to receive the things to do.
Because the wages are given are high, the requirements are higher, but no one complained. There were even many female members of the border town soldiers who came to get things to do. These people were very attentive and had a strong position. They would rather be slower than do well. No matter which one was worn by a man who drove his own way, let alone the relationship between the military and civilians in the border town was excellent.
Xue Qiao was not able to deceive her. After being locked up for nearly twenty days, she said everything. Xue Qiao, who was taken out at this time, no longer had the beauty of the beginning. In that cold Buddhist temple, although she was not short of food and drink, except for someone coming to ask each other five days, no one talked to her anymore, and there was no sound, and even the sound of footsteps could not be heard.
Moreover, she couldn't see anyone at all. The food was delivered in by a small window. After half an hour, if she put the things in the small window, someone would naturally take them away, but she didn't let them go, and the person wouldn't say anything.
People live in groups, and this is just loneliness. It seems that she is the only one left in all places. Xue Qiao would knock on the door every day and beg the doorkeeper to say a few words to her, but no one would pay attention to her.
The moment Xue Qiao was taken out to see many people, her expression was distorted and her eyes were a little dull. This time Shen Jin was present. Looking at Xue Qiao's appearance, someone brought her warm water and pastries, and then asked, "Are you going to tell us?"
"I..." When she heard Shen Jin's voice, Xue Qiao was both hated and afraid. At that time, it was this woman she thought was weak and could be bullied. She said calmly that someone would take her into the Buddhist temple, and then she was locked up and her body trembled, "I said."
Shen Jin looked at General Manager Wang, and Chu Xiuyuan was a little curious. He knew that his sister-in-law did not treat Xue Qiao at all.
Manager Wang said, "How did you send the news?"
Xue Qiao now wished someone could talk to her, and no matter what she said, it would be fine. When she heard what Mr. Wang said, "I was sent to the border town by the Prince of England."
As soon as these words were said, several people frowned, "What's going on?" Manager Zhao asked in a deep voice.
"It was the Prince of King Ying who saved me at the beginning." Xue Qiao never concealed it anymore and said directly, "It was my family who was invaded by bandits, and the whole family was killed. Several people protected me. When I thought I was about to die, it was the Prince of King Ying who saved me. He was so great and extraordinary. He bent down and helped me up. At that time, I was so humble and insignificant, but he..."
Shen Jin looked at Xue Qiao's cheeks with red and springy look, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about how the Prince of England came so coincidental?"
Xue Qiao looked at Shen Jin and said with a serious expression, "Because this is my fate with the prince, and God is destined to let him save me!"
Chu Xiuyuan looked at Xue Qiao's appearance and didn't know what to say. Shen Jin looked at Madam Zhao. This person was like this at the beginning? Madam Zhao shook her head slightly, lay in Shen Jin's ear and whispered, "It was normal to look at it at the beginning."
Shen Jin felt that it was because these people did not tell her about the Prince of England at the beginning, "You misunderstood what I mean. What I said was that the Prince of England had someone pretended to be a bandit and killed your whole family, and then saved you."
"Impossible." Xue Qiao retorted without hesitation.
Chen Jin looked at Xue Qiao, shrugged and said, "Forget it, I can't explain it clearly."
General Manager Wang said in a deep voice, "What did the Prince of England ask you to do?"
Xue Qiao shut up and stopped talking. Manager Zhao said, "Anyway, your goal has been achieved, so it's nothing wrong to say at this time, right?"
As if he thought what Manager Zhao said was reasonable, Xue Qiao then said, "The prince asked me to provoke the relationship between Chu Xiuyao and Chu Xiuming, and to convey some news."
"Who is the person who is the connector?" asked Mr. Wang.
Xue Qiao stopped talking again. Chen Jin looked at her and said directly, "Since that's the case, send the cousin back to the Buddhist temple to continue recuperation."
"I said." Xue Qiao's body shook, her face turned pale, and she said a few names, and they cleaned them after the accident.
Chen Jin looked at Manager Zhao, Manager Zhao nodded slightly, and Chu Xiuyuan said in a cold voice, "Are you worthy of your aunt? She is so kind to you, but you plot against her only remaining son like this."
Xue Qiao pursed her lips and said with a little sadness, "I don't think about it either, but... I can't be sorry to the prince. If there was no prince, there wouldn't be the me today. I will be able to repay it in my next life."
Chen Jin looked at Xue Qiao and didn't know what to say.
"Then how did you plot against the Third Master?" Mr. Wang said coldly.
Xue Qiao did not hesitate at all this time, "Because my third brother thought I would be Chu Si's wife, and he was not very careful about me. He had a good alcohol tolerance, but he couldn't drink tea."
"It turns out that you were planning to deal with the third brother from the beginning." Chen Jin then figured it out, but I think so, his husband is very smart and cautious, and Chu Xiuyao, who has a rough personality and weakness, is naturally much easier to deal with.
Madam Zhao asked, "That child is indeed the third master?"
"Yes." Xue Qiao's face showed a little sadness, "Whatever I do is not what I want. How could I use such a thing to deceive people? I don't want to see my third brother break the incense."
"Who is the mother of that child?" Chen Jin asked without any warning.
When Xue Qiao was stunned for a moment, her face looked a little ugly, she said, "Of course I was born ten months pregnant."
But at that moment, everyone also saw something strange. Zhao Duan narrowed his eyes and Madam Zhao even understood that Chen Jin was so angry for the first time. Even when he was in the capital, Chen Jin was not angry. But now, he just couldn't understand how there was such a person, "Since you love the Prince of Ying so much, and even treat him like a god, you would rather do so many things for him, how could you lose your virginity to the third brother? Moreover, the abnormal prince of Ying would not let you do such a thing, because he finally controlled you, how could he allow any change?"
When Chen Jin said this, everyone also understood, especially Ma Ma Zhao, who was even more clear at this time.
In fact, Chen Jin did not say something. From what Prince Ying did during this period, it can be seen that he is possessive, which means that no matter whether he likes Xue Qiao or not, he will not tolerate Xue Qiao having other men. Moreover, if a woman has her own child, she will inevitably have some deviations in her heart. The Prince Ying did not want to do something bad to ruin his plan because Xue Qiao felt sorry for the child. The best way is to make everyone think that the child was born by Xue Qiao for Chu Xiuyao, and even make Chu Xiuming misunderstand that Xue Qiao wanted to plot against him at the beginning, but because Chu Xiuming and Chu Xiuyao look too similar, there was a deviation.
However, the Prince of England was calculating in every way, but he met someone like Chen Jin who did not follow the norm.
In the idea of the British prince, Xue Qiao deals with more of the people who are late-girls. So how can Chen Jin misunderstand the relationship between Chu Xiuming and Xue Qiao? Then Xue Qiao uses various behaviors and hints, plus the backing of children, the people in the border town dare not treat her slowly.
What Xue Qiao is best at is the struggle between women in the back house, such as murder and verbal confrontation, but Chen Jin just doesn't play with her, or even doesn't follow their ideas.
Say or not? Don’t say it, keep it locked up.
I’m honest, do you want to say it or not? I’m willing to say it, so let’s come out and say it.
It's that simple, it's like meeting an enemy, you'll beat me up without saying a word, and if you hit too much, you will naturally become obedient.
Not only that, I don’t know whether it’s blood or other relationships. Chen Jin guessed the thoughts of King Rui and Prince Ying accurately. The several conditions in the letter were actually to allow Xue Qiao to stay in the border city.
The prince of the British prince thought he was proud of his own. One was to let Chu Xiuming be restrained, the second was to differentiate the relationship between Emperor Cheng and Chu Xiuming, and the third was to let Xue Qiao stay in the border city.
Now I am afraid there is nothing I can do about the last point, but the first two things made the Prince of England get what he wanted.
"Then later, you stayed by the Prince of England?" Manager Zhao asked coldly.
Xue Qiao nodded. They didn't ask the child's mother how it was. According to the prince of Ying, he must have gone to the mother to keep the child. Not only that, he probably calculated the time specifically to let the person they prepared to have sex with Chu Xiuyao, and then after confirming that he was pregnant, he set up a trap and took the person away.
Chen Jin looked at Xue Qiao and asked, "Is it worth it?"
Xue Qiao said, "As long as you can stay with the prince, it is worth it no matter what."
Madam Zhao asked, "How many children have you given birth to Prince Ying?"
Women who have given birth to children are different from those who have never given birth. Xue Qiao is obviously a child, which is why they didn’t suspect that the child was Xue Qiaosheng.
Xue Qiao pursed her lips and said nothing. Madam Zhao sneered, "But have a son? Prince Ying promised to grant your son the crown prince after he succeeded?"
Chen Jin saw that Xue Qiao didn't say anything, "He is lying to you. If a person really cares about you, how could he let you take risks?"
Xue Qiao looked at Chen Jin and said, "It's impossible, let's say that the prince only has Lin'er, one son."
"I can't give birth because I'm not feeling well?" Chen Jin said inadvertently.
Xue Qiao looked at Chen Jin in surprise and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Oh, it seems to be true." Chen Jin took a sip of the red date soup and said, "Then I was wrong just now. Since there is only one son, I can't give birth to anything else in the future. It's really a matter of fact. I'm afraid your son can really be the prince, but how do I remember that the prince of the British has another son?"
