Family Has a Concubine

"Sister Shu..." Qin Shi was shocked, she rushed over and took Chu Miaoshu into her arms.

Seeing Chu Miaoshu's red and swollen face and the blood on the corner of her lips, Qin Shi was indescribably angry! Beat her daughter!

No matter how frightened Mrs. Mei is, the Qin family will explode: "Mother... you—"

"Where did this little animal come from?" Mrs. Mei was the first to interrupt Qin's arrogance. I saw her trembling hands pointing to the sky: "Look, where did this big house come from? Where did you get your food and clothing? They are all from the ancestors of our Chu family." Go to the border to die in exchange for it!"

Her words shocked the entire Yixiang Courtyard, Uncle Chu's heart was trembling and his face was pale.

Qin Shi gritted her teeth fiercely, Chu Miaoshu was lying in her arms, trembling uncontrollably, whether it was from anger or pain. The mother and daughter are still angry, but they dare not make a sound.

I only heard Mrs. Mei continue: "Which general can guarantee that he will come back alive? Which one can guarantee that he will not be defeated? Sometimes, even if he knows that he will be defeated and he will die, he has to go! It is for the people! For this country!"

Uncle Chu was shocked, and the scene of the previous battle on the battlefield came back to his mind. The scene of his uncle and brother dying in front of him made him feel extremely cruel and sad, so he never wanted his relatives to suffer from this.

"When they sacrificed their lives for the honor, you enjoy it, because you are all family members! But when they die there, when the honor is taken away, you are also family members! Then why, when the honor is full of honor, you are all family members! Just enjoy it, and when you fail, can't you bear it together?" Old Madam Mei said.

Qin's face turns green and turns pale, startled and angry at the same time, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Mother...who doesn't understand this truth! But when Saburo made a decision...has he discussed it with us? This is his own decision, Why should we suffer together with him for the evil consequences brought to the family!"

There was a loud "bang", and a blue and white porcelain teacup shattered directly at Qin's feet. Mrs. Mei said coldly, "Before he won the first prize, he didn't discuss it with you. Why do you enjoy it together?"

Qin choked, his face pale.

"You have been ignoring him since you were young. The honor he got by being the No. 1 scholar on his own initiative is a surprise. He didn't charge you a single copper coin. Now that he has withdrawn these honors, he doesn't owe you a single copper coin!"

"Mother...is a family..." Uncle Chu looked embarrassed, "I don't say anything about what I owe or what I owe. Where is the family that owes so much, help each other."

"That's right... woo woo..." Chu Miaoshu finally couldn't hold back anymore, she felt that half of her face was about to fall out of pain, and she felt wronged again, so she screamed in Qin's arms, "I I'm in trouble now, why can't you help me?"

Holding Chu Miaoshu, Qin Shi also felt extremely wronged, sobbing and crying: "My poor sister Shu..."

"How pitiful is she?" Mrs. Mei was about to laugh angrily, "She has parents and brothers who love her. The poor daughter-in-law of Saburo, her husband went to the border, and she was left alone to support her. I beg the imperial decree Just a favor, keep it for her own use, she is so pitiful, why do you still want to grab it? The agreed family members help each other and understand each other? Why, you are her family, she is not your family?"

The voices of Qin Shi and Chu Miaoshu froze, and Qin Shi said: "This is also for the good of the family... Sister Shu is married, and she will help San Lang's wife and the family in the future. Otherwise, the family will really be destroyed. This is a major event that concerns the fate of the entire Chu family."

"Hasn't it been ruined long ago?" Mrs. Mei snorted coldly, "Using my daughter's high marriage in exchange for wealth? Since when did our Chu family become like this? It is a temporary prosperity. If you have the ability, then continue to be rich! If you don’t have the ability, then you are exhausted, and you don’t have to maintain this wealth, just do what you want.”

Qin Shi and Chu Miaoshu listened, and felt that their eyes were darkened. What do you mean if you don't have the ability to do nothing? What should I do?

"Where's Feiyang?" Mrs. Mei said suddenly.

Mrs. Qin only cares about holding Chu Miaoshu and twitching on the ground, Uncle Chu said submissively: "It should be in his room, I'll send someone to call him. Luzhi, go and call Dalang and his wife, and bring Brother Shanghai Son." Then he said to Old Madam Mei: "Mother hasn't seen Dalang, his wife, and Brother Hai, she is your great-grandson, very clever."

Chu Feiyang is her eldest grandson. When Chu Feiyang was young, Mrs. Mei loved him very much.

After a while, Chu Feiyang and Jiang Xinxue walked in, and Jiang Xinxue was holding Chu Xuehai's hand.

When Ye Tangcai saw Chu Feiyang, she was stunned. She saw that Chu Feiyang had lost a lot of weight, and his whole body was emaciated, with a shaggy chin.

Old Madam Mei frowned when she saw that her eldest grandson, who was once in high spirits, had turned into such a decadent look.

Her eyes fell on the little woman beside her again. Around twenty-three, she was dressed in dark yellow chrysanthemum-patterned makeup, and her facial features were considered beautiful, but her complexion was gloomy, and her whole body looked gray. The little boy on the side is clever and cute.

"Grandmother." The couple saluted.

Mrs. Mei pursed her lips and looked at Chu Feiyang: "Sanlang has gone out, are you like this?"

Chu Feiyang's mind was shocked, so he lowered his head and remained silent.

Jiang Xinxue's expression changed upon hearing this, what does this mean? Also let her husband follow Saburo to die? However, if he is going to die, then die! She can live well by guarding her son.

Disappointment flashed in Mrs. Mei's eyes, but she nodded again: "Okay, that's it. As long as you live happily."

Chu Feiyang lowered his head even lower.

Old Madam Mei looked at Qin Shi and Chu Miaoshu again: "You two, go back and copy the "Family Regulations" thirty times."

Qin's brain thumped, feeling ashamed and angry. She was going to be punished for copying "Family Rules"!

She has been the mistress of the Chu family for nearly thirty years, and has been at home since she entered the door. Especially in these years, the Chu family has been in decline, Mrs. Mei lived in seclusion, and Uncle Chu didn't care about things, so she became the unique existence of this family. She has always been the one who punishes others, how dare anyone punish her!

But now, she was fined to copy "Family Rules"!

And in front of her son, daughter-in-law and other juniors, she literally slapped her in the face, then threw her on the ground and stomped on her!

"Sanlang's daughter-in-law help me go back." Mrs. Mei said flatly.

Ye Tangcai was startled, and hurried forward: "Yes."

Jiang Xinxue's whole body is not well, and Mrs. Mei's name is Ye Tangcai instead of calling her the eldest daughter-in-law, and she can't help but feel sour.

Ye Tangcai stepped forward, helped Mrs. Mei get up, and then left step by step.

As soon as the two left, Qin's whole body collapsed on the ground, holding Chu Miaoshu and crying.

Uncle Chu frowned deeply. It was not easy for him to refute when his old mother came forward, and what his mother said was reasonable. Since he doesn't have that ability, let's all live in peace!

He has never been a troublemaker, and when he saw the mother and daughter crying again, he was a little helpless: "Okay! Don't think about it so much, what the imperial decree refers to marriage or not, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, even if it is true If you beg in the past, you may not agree, maybe it will bring disaster to the family."

As he said that, he shuddered all over himself first, yes, he couldn't ask for it, otherwise it might cause a catastrophe. Thinking about it, he flicked his sleeves and left as if fleeing.

Seeing that he had escaped, Mrs. Qin scolded angrily: "Worthless! Bastard! It's unreasonable. How can there be such a father and grandmother who don't think about their children and grandchildren at all. Other people's grandmothers will do things for the interests of the family, and they will do things for the benefit of the family." All kinds of sacrifices and efforts have been made to extend the prosperity of the family, but this old man actually wants to watch the Chu family decline, this... is simply the sinner of the Chu family!"

...

Ye Tangcai helped Mrs. Mei to go out, but felt that her body was heavy.

There was a slider parked in the garden, and Ye Tangcai knew that she came here on this. Apparently, Mrs. Mei's body is seriously ill and has persistent illnesses.

Ye Tangcai helped her up, and two gray-clothed nuns lifted her up and walked forward, and Ye Tangcai left with her.

Mrs. Mei was silent, so Ye Tangcai guessed that she was not talkative, so he didn't dare to chat with her, so he didn't want to annoy her.

Mrs. Mei lived in the southwest corner of Chu's house, which was also the most remote part of the entire mansion.

Along the way, the pavilions and pavilions we passed were mostly desolate, overgrown with weeds, and unattended. After walking for a while, we finally came to a large courtyard.

The outer wall is dilapidated, with several pieces of Daiwa missing.

The faded nanmu courtyard gate has a plaque with the word "empty dwelling" hanging on it.

The grey-clothed nanny pushed open the door, and Ye Tangcai saw that the courtyard was wide and clean, clean and simple. There were three main rooms inside, four side rooms on the east side, and rows of orange trees on the west side, and a verandah was built beside the orange trees. . There is a pine and rattan lounge chair under the porch and a set of marble tables.

"That's it." Mrs. Mei nodded her chin in the direction of the corridor.

Two nuns in gray clothes carried her over there, and after she got off the sliding bar, Ye Tangcai helped her to sit on the recliner.

Old Madam Mei said gentlemanly: "Nurse Zhang, bring that thing here."

"Yes." Madam Zhang agreed, then turned and walked into the house.

After a while, Madam Zhang took out a red lacquer and gold sandalwood box,

Old Madam Mei said, "I'll give this to you as a gift."

Ye Tangcai didn't know what was inside, but took it respectfully: "Thank you, grandma."

"You go back, I'll take a rest." Mrs. Mei said.

"Okay." Ye Tangcai agreed, then turned and left.

Mrs. Mei watched her leaving back, silently looking in the direction of the southwest.

Nanny Zhang said: "At home, I have finally found someone who is promising."

Mrs. Mei hummed. She knows better than anyone else the pain and suffering of waiting at home when her husband goes to war. At least, she has to take good care of her during his expedition. This is worthy of a hero who sacrificed his life for his family and country.
