Chapter 1024: Dividing Property
Xia Zihan glared at him with a dark face and put the chopsticks and eggs into his bowl. When she saw that the corner of his mouth was grinning almost to the back of his ears when he smiled, she covered her face and turned her head away, unable to bear to look any further.
When did her domineering, cool and handsome Aqi become so childish?
He was actually jealous of his own son.
Really speechless.
After finishing the meal, Chu Jingqi ordered Nuan Yu to take the two little buns away. Then, he happily occupied his wife alone. He pressed her on the bed all night long and pressed her hard several times from the front and back.
It wasn't until dawn, when Xia Zihan fainted from exhaustion, that he finally let her go.
Chu Jingqi picked up Xia Zihan and went to the bathroom. After making the two of them clean and comfortable, he placed Xia Zihan on the bed and carefully covered her with a quilt.
He didn't sleep, got dressed, and went out.
When Xia Zihan, mother and son were about to have breakfast, Chu Jingqi appeared with two wooden swords in her hands, giving one to each of her two sons.
"Don't you really want to learn boxing and swordsmanship? Then learn it with a wooden sword first. Once you have mastered it, you can switch to a real sword when you are eight years old."
As he spoke, he touched the heads of his two sons.
Last night, he made his two young sons wait outside the house for two hours. As a father, he felt very guilty. Before dawn, he went to the orchard and cut down two fruit-bearing branches. It took more than an hour to cut two wooden swords from thick peach branches, and another half an hour to polish the wooden swords.
This is his apology to his sons.
However, he won't say it explicitly.
The two little buns received the wooden sword given by their father, and their eyebrows were curled with joy, and they were filled with excitement. As for the grievance last night, they had long forgotten it in the back of their heads.
After breakfast, the two little buns went to find the third child with their wooden swords.
Chu Jingqi went to the palace, while Xia Zihan went to the mourning hall to burn incense and paper for Mrs. Chu. Unexpectedly, in the mourning hall, Mr. Chu and the second room of the Chu family were all present, and even Chu Jingwu, who had not appeared for a long time, was present.
"Greetings to Grandpa." Xia Zihan walked over and bowed obediently to Mr. Chu. Mr. Chu hummed and ordered his servants to bring a chair for her to sit on.
After Xia Zihan sat down, Mr. Chu said, "Just in time, you are here. When your mother comes, I will divide Jingwu's mother's things in front of you."
Chu Jingxiu and Chu Jingwen, the second roommates of the Chu family, were arguing every day to divide the property left by Mrs. Chu. For that little property and property, the two brothers and sisters often quarreled and fought. Sometimes they even got into fights in front of Mrs. Chu. There is never a day of silence in the mourning hall.
Mr. Chu was also very angry.
Finally, Mr. Chu made up his mind to distribute Mrs. Chu's belongings to several of her grandchildren earlier, so as to save the Anjun Prince's Mansion from being troubled by them all day long.
After waiting for a while, Mr. Zhuo came.
After Mrs. Zhuo arrived, Mrs. Chu called Mrs. Chu's personal nanny over and took out the list of Mrs. Chu's belongings that she had asked her to register. On the long list, in addition to a few small villages, there are fifty-two pieces of various jewelry, thirty-three pieces of gold, silver, and jade, three mink fur cloaks, and twelve pieces of silk and satin...
< br>
There are more than 180 pieces in total.
Chu Jingxiu's eyes turned green when he looked at the gold and silver jewelry on the list.
She also muttered, "Why is this all? Grandma has been running the Chu family for decades and only has this little private property. Who would believe it? Someone is secretly enriching themselves, right?"
A pair of suspicious eyes stared at the old woman who took out the list, indicating something.
It was this old guy who slapped her hard several times when she was disliked by Mrs. Chu. The intensity... thinking about it now, her cheeks still hurt.
If it weren't for the fact that the deed of sale of this old thing was in the hands of Zhuo, the Prince of Anjun, she would have sold her to a coal mine and let this old thing grow old and enjoy the ride of a thousand people.
Chu Jingxiu angrily gouged out the old woman's eyes several times, and then looked at Mr. Chu, "Grandpa, you must find out clearly. Grandma has been in charge of the family for decades, and she also owns Zhuangzi Real Estate. You can't just leave such a little thing behind. …”
"Shut up..." Mr. Chu scolded angrily before she could finish speaking, "What do you mean?"
"Your grandmother is in charge of the house. It is the home of the Chu family. It is not just the home of your second wife. The property of the Chu family's father-in-law is inherited by the eldest son and grandson. The second house is a branch and cannot be inherited. When the family was divided, the things belonging to the second house belonged to the second house. It has been assigned to the second room a long time ago. Why, you still want it?”
"No grandpa, granddaughter doesn't mean that..." Seeing that the old man was angry, Chu Jingxiu panicked. She just wanted to use the old man's hand to punish the old man, but she had no other intentions.
But listening to what the old man said, why does it seem like she is coveting the property of Prince Anjun's mansion?
Oh my god, Prince Anjun is rich, powerful, and it's too late for her to flatter him. How dare she offend Zhuo?
Chu Jingxiu hurriedly looked at Mrs. Zhuo and met her sinister eyes. She was startled and hurriedly explained to Mrs. Zhuo, "Auntie, I really don't mean anything else. I just suspect that my grandmother will not only stay. With such a small amount of things, I am worried that all her things will be taken away by these servants.”
"I, the servants of Prince Anjun's Mansion, are not that bold." Madam Zhuo said coldly, "Rather than doubting the servants, you might as well doubt me, the princess. But, to be honest, with only a little bit like the old lady, I really don’t like it.”
Do you really think that everyone is like her, Chu Jingxiu, who feels closer to Yinzi than to her biological father and mother?
Huh...it's really unreasonable.
Mr. Chu also said angrily, "Your grandmother saved a lot of property before we split up. However, when you brothers and sisters got married, in addition to the silver I gave out, each of your grandmothers also gave out five thousand taels of silver. This , you won’t forget?”
"When your grandmother married into the Chu family, as a concubine, she didn't have much dowry at all. She picked thirty-six dowries and looked at the flowers, but in fact, the total amount was only three thousand taels of silver."
"When your grandmother was presiding over the affairs of Duke Anguo's mansion, she enriched her own pockets with an unknown amount of money, and secretly gave your parents countless good things. I turned a blind eye and didn't see it. If You're talking about your grandmother I can tell you that I have stolen a few heirlooms from the Chu family. They were supposed to be passed down to the eldest son and grandson, but your grandmother secretly hid them behind my back. ”
"That is something that has been passed down from the Chu family for countless generations. How could I let her leave it to you."
Old Mrs. Chu said every word with a straight face. Chu Jingxiu blushed and felt so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
She pursed her lips and said with red eyes, "Grandpa, I... I really have no other thoughts, I... I was wrong, Grandpa, I won't do it again next time."
