Chapter 1025 Apology
She wanted to explain, but when she saw Mr. Chu's unkind look, she quickly apologized and admitted her mistake.
Regardless of whether she has that intention or not, Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Zhuo now think that she is coveting the property of Prince Anjun. Even if she jumps into the Yellow River, she won't be able to clean it up. If she continues to quibble, she will be disliked by them, so she might as well just bow her head. It's good to admit your mistakes.
Seeing that she had admitted her mistake, Mr. Chu stopped holding her.
Mr. Chu threw the list on the table and showed it to the four Chu brothers and sisters. He said, "I have calculated the things your grandmother left behind. They are worth thirty-three thousand taels of silver in total."
When Chu Jingxiu heard that there were more than 30,000 taels of silver, her head was so excited that she almost fainted. She looked at Mr. Chu with hopeful eyes, "Grandpa, before my grandmother passed away, she told her granddaughter that she felt sorry for her granddaughter's hardship, and how many brothers and sisters her family had. The most distressed person in the crowd left several small villages to his granddaughter, but...the granddaughter was wronged and left for a few days. When she came back, her grandmother had..."
Chu Jingxiu's tears fell down, as if she was sad about Mrs. Chu's death again.
Mr. Chu was too lazy to watch her act. He just looked at Chu Jingwu and said, "You are the eldest son of the family and the eldest son of the second wife. Logically speaking, you should get more than half of the property left by your grandmother, but...you live now The house with three entrances is the house I assigned to your father, and both of you brothers have a share.”
"Although Jing Wen hasn't gotten married yet, at this age it's time to find him a wife. So I'll use the money to buy him a house first, and the remaining five thousand taels of silver to give him a wife, and then The excess will be divided between you two.”
He then looked at Chu Jingxiu, who had a resentful look, and Chu Jinglan, who had a calm face, and said, "You two are married, and you are still thinking about this little thing from your mother's family, and you are not afraid of being pointed at if the news spreads. Joke.”
When Chu Jingxiu saw that she was about to get the silver, she was told that it was gone by Mrs. Chu in just a few words. She was unwilling to do so and said hastily, "Grandpa...grandma clearly said that she..."
"No matter what your grandmother said, without witness or written evidence, it doesn't count." Mr. Chu looked like he was too lazy to listen to her words anymore. He waved his hand and said, "I also left one for each of you. This piece of your grandmother’s favorite jewelry is just a memory for you two sisters. After you take it, don’t think about other things.”
"Only the male heirs of the Chu family can inherit the Chu family's property. How can there be any reason for a married granddaughter to come back and inherit the property? It's not like you don't have brothers."
Mrs. Chu scolded Chu Jingxiu severely. No matter how Chu Jingxiu defended her, she was unwilling to give in. She had no choice but to rob Mrs. Chu's belongings by force.
After the belongings left by Mrs. Chu were distributed, Mrs. Chu said earnestly, "I didn't leave any of your grandmother's things to your uncles and aunts, and they don't want them either. Not only do they not want anything left by your grandmother, It was your uncle who spent the money to prepare for your grandmother’s funeral. Your uncle has done his utmost to treat your grandmother and you like this. I hope you will take care of yourself in the future.”
Chu Jingxiu looked defeated and dejected, and he didn't even bother to nod.
Chu Jinglan hummed softly, looked at Mrs. Zhuo, and thanked Mrs. Zhuo in a low voice.
Mrs. Chu is a person who likes to talk. She smiled and said, "This is all because of my aunt's benevolence and righteousness. My aunt's reputation of being affectionate, righteous and kind-hearted is well-known in the capital."
Chu Jingwen hummed and said, "Huh, if you are really benevolent, why don't you buy me a house and use my grandmother's..."
"Bastard, what did you say?" Mr. Chu raised his crutch angrily and was about to hit Chu Jingwen on the head. He was so frightened that he screamed and ran out.
Mr. Chu is old. If he were ten years younger, he would definitely catch up and beat his unfilial grandson.
Chu Jingwen ran away, and Mrs. Chu ordered the old woman, "Take out the things left for the two girls."
"Yes, old lady."
The old grandma went out, and a moment later, a little maid came in behind her carrying a tray with two pieces of jewelry on it. A hairpin and a pair of bracelets were all Mrs. Chu's favorite jewelry during her lifetime, and they were also her favorite jewelry.
The value of these two pieces of jewelry is the same, almost the same. It can be seen that Mr. Chu carefully selected it.
The little maid carried the tray and walked up to Chu Jingxiu, letting Chu Jingxiu pick first.
Chu Jingxiu took the hairpin and the bracelet, both of which were valuable. She wanted both, but she could only have one...
She chose over and over again, and finally, gritting her teeth and enduring the pain, she chose the bracelet and left the hairpin to Chu Jinglan.
After this incident, Chu Jingxiu claimed that she had something to do at home, and then went directly back to the Min family. That realistic attitude made the other three brothers and sisters of the Chu family gnash their teeth in anger.
Fortunately, Min Sibo was somewhat sensible. The day after Chu Jingxiu returned home, Min Sibo came to Anjun Prince's Mansion to kowtow to Mrs. Chu and burn incense.
When he saw Mrs. Zhuo, Min Sibo specially apologized to Mrs. Zhuo, "Princess Anjun, my wife has offended many times. It's all because of my subordinates' incompetence. I hope Princess Anjun won't blame her. If you do, just blame me."
"I blame you for what you did, and I also know what kind of temper Xiu Yatou is. It has nothing to do with you, but don't worry, I don't blame her."
She didn't bother to blame a stepniece who had never set her sights.
Min Sibo has a pure nature, and when he heard Mr. Zhuo say it was not strange, he finally felt relieved after being anxious all night.
Yesterday, after Chu Jingxiu came home, he lost his temper at the maid at home and even pulled out a strand of her hair.
Then, she sat at home and scolded Chu Jingwen, then Chu Jingwu, and finally Chu Jinglan. After scolding her brothers and sisters, before she could get out of her temper, she continued to scold Mr. Chu, including Zhuo and Chu Yu. .
After Min Sibo heard this, he felt frightened. He thought his wife had caused some trouble in Anjun Prince's Mansion, so he hid back home and scolded everyone in the Chu family.
Early the next morning, Min Sibo, who hadn't slept all night, didn't care that today was the Dragon Boat Festival, so he got up and went to Prince An's Mansion.
The main reason he came was not to burn incense and kowtow to Mrs. Chu, but to apologize to Mrs. Zhuo.
After hearing that Mr. Zhuo was disobeying Chu Jingxiu, his heart finally fell to the ground, and he hurried back to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.
Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Chu Jingqi did not enter the palace. He stayed at home for a day and taught his two sons to play chess in the flower hall.
Mr. Chu also came to join in the fun. At first, Mr. Chu and Chu Jingqi taught the two children to play chess. Later, one old and one young became addicted to chess, so they left the children and started playing chess by themselves.
