Chapter 425 Can’t bear it
"Mom, you keep your word." The third child stretched out a little finger, "Let's pull the hook."
"I'm trying to get you here, since when have I stopped keeping my word?" Zhuo angrily hit the third child on the head hard.
The third child cried out in pain, held his head, and looked at his mother sadly, "Last time my sister-in-law went to Shuimu City, my mother said she would take the second child and me, but she didn't go."
"It happened eight hundred years ago, you brat, you still remember?" Mr. Zhuo blushed and glared at the third child.
"Of course I remember."
The third child covered his face with grievance, and tears were in his eyes, trying not to fall.
Chu Jingqi looked sideways at Xia Zihan with smiling eyes, and her smiling face was as dazzling as the peonies blooming in August.
Sister-in-law, haha, this is a good title.
These two boys seem to know each other very well. After a while, they will be rewarded with some delicious food.
Xia Zihan's pretty face turned slightly red, pretending not to notice Chu Jingqi's gaze.
But Chu Jingqi stared at her so shamelessly that she couldn't help but blush and became angry, "Don't you have something to tell your aunt? Why don't you tell her quickly?"
"Yes." Chu Jingqi reluctantly looked away and said to Mrs. Zhuo, "The emperor will issue an order to restore our family's titles tomorrow morning, and the Duke's Palace will return them to us. Dad asked me to tell my mother. , pack your things early, and you will move back to the Duke’s Mansion tomorrow after the decree is issued.”
"Moving tomorrow?" Zhuo was stunned, "What about your grandfather? Did your father say anything?"
She received news that Mrs. Chu would have long nights and dreams, and had scheduled Chu Jingxiu's marriage in half a month. In the past few days, Mrs. Chu was happily preparing for Chu Jingxiu's wedding.
If the old man wants to move to the Duke's Mansion, then the old godly woman will definitely move with him, right?
After all, she is her mother-in-law in name only. She cannot let her father-in-law and mother-in-law live separately. If word spreads, she and Chu Xuanyu will have a bad reputation.
That old godly woman couldn't be beaten, scolded, or punished. Alas... When she thought of Mrs. Chu's playful energy, Mrs. Zhuo suddenly lost the energy to do anything.
"Dad said that tomorrow, he will go and tell his grandfather in person that he must move back here," Chu Jingqi said.
"As for the second wife..." Chu Jingqi's expression turned cold several times when she thought of the best of the family, "Dad said we'll talk about it when the time comes."
Chu Haoyu's death was unexpected, and his father had not expected it, but because of Chu Haoyu's death, their eldest brother could not let the second brother do whatever he wanted.
It's not like they killed Chu Haoyu.
What's more, the two families have separated a long time ago, and it is impossible for the two separated families to get together again.
His father's intention depends on whether brothers Chu Jingwu and Chu Jingwen know each other. If they know each other, then he will promote them in the future. But if these two brothers have any evil intentions, then he will pretend that they do not have such bad intentions. two nephews.
When she thought of Mrs. Chu and the people in the second room, Mrs. Zhuo was in a good mood because of Chu Xuanyu's return. She snorted in a dull mood, said goodbye to Mrs. Zeng, and went to the yard to pack her things.
Mrs. Zeng was not willing to leave the three of them, mother and son. You know, in the year when Xia Zihan was away, thanks to Mrs. Zhuo, mother and son, staying with her, she did not get sick because of her worry about Xia Zihan.
Especially the twins, who had been raised under her nose for three years and now said they were leaving, made Mrs. Zeng very reluctant to part with them.
But once Duke An Guo's palace was restored to its title, she would have no reason to keep Zhuo, mother and son here.
The Zhuo family, mother and son, will eventually return to the Chu family. Mrs. Zeng told Qingya, "Take a few maids to help my aunt pack things together."
"Yes, old lady."
……
The next day, as soon as the sun rose, the emperor's decree came.
The Duke of Anguo's mansion was restored to his title, Chu Xuanyu's status as Duke of the Kingdom was restored, Mrs. Zhuo became the first-class noble lady of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, and Chu Jingqi's position as the eldest son was also restored by the emperor.
For a time, Chu Xuanyu and his son became famous people in front of the emperor, their status was almost equal to that of the second prince and his son, and the Chu family also became a very popular family in the capital, and people flocked to it.
The third mother and son of the Zhuo family reluctantly said goodbye to the Zeng family and Xia Zihan, and moved back to the Duke's Mansion.
After the Duke's Mansion was taken back by the imperial court, it was well preserved by the late emperor. The servants guarding the mansion were also the people who had left the Mansion. After the Zhuo family moved there, the mansion was cleaned again by the servants. There were stains everywhere. It was spotlessly clean and tidy. After placing the antique utensils, calligraphy and paintings, everything in the house was the same as before, with no changes.
After Chu Xuanyu received the imperial edict, he and Chu Jingqi went to the third house of the Chu family in the second room to pick up Mr. Chu.
Mr. Chu's body has been deteriorating in the past two years, especially after the death of the late emperor. He suddenly became much older. When Chu Xuanyu saw him, he felt that the old man was more than ten years older than before he left the capital.
Although she hated him for marrying his stepmother and abusing him, she was his biological father after all. Chu Xuanyu's eyes turned red, and he knelt down and kowtowed to Mr. Chu three times, "Dad, the unfilial child is back."
< br>
"Grandfather." Chu Jingqi also knelt down and kowtowed several times.
Mr. Chu burst into tears, helped the father and son up, and cried with joy, "Okay, very good, you father and son have finally lived up to my high expectations."
The restoration of the Chu family's title has been a thorn in his heart for the past few years.
Although this thorn was planted by him himself, he might not be able to pull it out, and it would have to rely on Chu Xuanyu and his son.
In the past three years, he has been looking forward to it, especially after the death of the late emperor. He was once worried that the title passed down from his ancestors would be difficult to restore, because the original transaction was a transaction between the late emperor and Chu Xuanyu, and the new emperor He really didn't know whether he knew it or not.
He was afraid that the new emperor wouldn't know about it, and he couldn't let anyone ask him anything about it, let alone ask him directly, so he had been worried.
Now that he is well, the title of Duke Anguo has been restored, and the stone in his heart has finally fallen away.
Mr. Chu was very happy and ordered his servant to pack his things and plan to move back to the Duke's Mansion.
Mrs. Chu got the news and rushed over with the support of Chu Jingxiu and Chu Jinglan. She screamed, "Ouch, old man, let me tell you, if you don't care about our grandparents, I will never be done with you."
"Chu Xuanyu is your son, and Haoyu is also your biological son. Haoyu died, and these few children are left behind. It's pitiful. The two children, Jing Wen and Jinglan, are so old that they haven't been able to get engaged yet. Even one of them came to propose marriage. No one else, old man, you can’t lose your conscience, this is your grandson too, you have to help them.”
As she said this, Mrs. Chu burst into tears and had runny nose, and she persuaded Mr. Chu to bring the children from the second bedroom with her.
The two sisters, Chu Jingxiu and Chu Jinglan, burst into tears, crying like pear blossoms with rain, looking pitiful.
When Mr. Chu saw it, he couldn't bear it, so he called Chu Xuanyu and his son to the study to discuss the matter.
An hour later, Chu Jingwen and Chu Jinglan, brother and sister, moved to the Duke's Mansion with Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Chu.
