The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 260 Selecting a husband and son-in-law, something happened to Li's family (4)
Chu Zhengyang, I won't let you live like this!Chu Zhengxiong's eyes were full of anger, and he slammed his clenched left hand on the stone table fiercely, making a muffled sound.

"Master, the third master sent someone to invite the master if he is free, so he went over and said that he had something to discuss." Suddenly, the voice of the house slave came from outside the courtyard.

Chu Zhengxiong let go of the hostility all over his body, and said in a deep voice, "Got it."

Although he agreed, Chu Zhengxiong didn't move at all.He had roughly guessed what his own brother wanted to say to him, but now he was not in the mood to listen.

In one day, the Chu family, which was originally a dark tide, seemed to become more subtle. It seemed that only one introduction was needed to intensify the potential conflicts in this family.

When Chu Xuan returned to her room, she didn't cry, but calmly told her parents what happened in the Buddhist hall, and then went back to her room, leaving Chu Zhengfeng with an uncertain expression, And the anxious Chiang.

Coming out of the Buddhist hall, Chu Qing accompanied Li Shi.The mother and daughter walked slowly in the garden, which felt a little comfortable.

Looking at her mother's slightly protruding belly, Chu Qing's eyes were somewhat curious.Although she understood the principle of pregnancy and childbirth, it was the first time in her two lives that she was so close to a pregnant woman.

When she thought of the little life that was connected with her blood being conceived in Li's womb, an inexplicable emotion slowly spread from the bottom of her heart, which was very warm.

"Yesterday, your father bid farewell to your grandfather, but he refused." Suddenly, Li's words made Chu Qing withdraw his mind.

Li's eyebrows were a little sad and said: "Your grandfather is also asking your father, hoping that he will return to the Chu family and take over the power of the family."

"Father may feel embarrassed." Chu Qing said lightly.

Mrs. Li nodded her head lightly: "Your father's temperament is upright. He has been traveling abroad for these years, not to mention that he already has his own family business. Even if he didn't, he wouldn't take over the Chu family like this."

Chu Qing nodded in agreement: "Father feels that he has left the Chu family these years and has not made any contribution to the family, so Wuyan accepts the position of Patriarch."

Li sighed softly: "Your father thinks so. However, your grandfather told your father some things later, which made it difficult for him to make a choice."

"What's the matter?" Chu Qing asked curiously.

Li shook his head: "Specifically, your father didn't explain. He just said that it seems to be related to your fifth uncle and the third prince. He said that your grandfather was worried that your fifth uncle would eventually harm the Chu family because of his greed for merit."

Chu Qing's eyes flickered, she knew far more information than Li's.Although Li Shi only said a few words, she immediately analyzed the key point.

It seems that Chu Minghong is also very dissatisfied and even worried about the private partnership between the Chu family and the third prince.Moreover, this cooperation was entirely facilitated by Chu Zhengfeng.

Of course, if this cooperation is successful, no one in the Chu family can compare to Chu Zhengfeng's contribution.Without Chu Zhengyang's legitimate successor, it is understandable for him to become the next Patriarch.

However, if it is not successful, then the Chu family may be wiped out.

Among them, the success or failure of the third prince seems to be involved.

Chu Qing lowered her eyes and groaned.

Back then, when An Ning first met the third prince, Zhao Shenggao, she wondered why a person who was so sick that he seemed to die at any moment would want to secretly win over a businessman to make money for him.

What is his purpose of making money?Is it for healing?He is a prince, even if he is not favored, he will not need money to buy medicine to treat diseases, the palace has its own good doctors and elixir, and he can ask for it.

Then, the final answer seems to be only one.

Zhao Shenggao needs a lot of money to secretly develop his own power.

To win people's hearts, you need money, to build a network of relationships, to build an intelligence network, you need money.In particular, money is needed to build an invincible army.

For those soldiers armed to the teeth, every piece of armor on their bodies, every sharp arrow in their quiver needs money.

Build your own power, what to do?
Take the heirloom!

At this moment, Chu Qing's understanding of this era is far from what he was a year ago.After getting in touch with some nobles in the palace, Zhao Shenghao explained from time to time that her political awareness is no longer as blank as before.

Almost instantly, she figured out the key point.

I'm afraid it's also what Chu Minghong is most worried about.A merchant, involved in the battle of the royal family, if the bet is right, it is fine, but if the bet loses, it may be a disaster.

Chu Minghong was naturally unwilling to take this risk, but he was unwilling, but Chu Zhengfeng was willing.His ambition made Chu Minghong worry that he would bring the Chu family into the gutter, so he hastily recalled Chu Zhengyang, hoping that he could check and balance Chu Zhengfeng's ambition.

In addition, Chu Qing's identity as Princess Xiaoyao, if one day the Chu family is in disaster, Chu Minghong also hopes to preserve some blood of the Chu family.

Therefore, the originally worthless Chu Zhengyang lineage has become a vital pawn, an amulet of the Chu family.

After thinking everything through, Chu Qing curled her lips into a sneer, and her eyes flickered coldly.

After playing for a long time, does anyone still want to treat themselves as a pawn?

I'm afraid that this time, whether it was Chu Minghong or Chu Zhengfeng, their wishful thinking was wrong.

Duan Dao who accompanied him, after arriving at the Chu family for a few days, secretly took some of the Futu guards and sneaked into the alchemy cave, constantly monitoring the movements there, waiting for Chu Qing's order.

Looking up at the sky, Chu Qing smiled proudly, and suddenly said to himself with great pride: Then let's see, this time, who is the chess piece and who is the chess player.

"Mother, I'll take you back." Concentrating her mind, Chu Qing smiled and helped Mrs. Li back to the courtyard.

After sending Li Shi back, Chu Qing returned to the courtyard where he lived.Before entering, she saw the clever and mischievous Chu Xin standing outside the courtyard, poking her head.

"You girl, why are you here?"

Chu Qing's sudden sound made Chu's heart jump.

Turning around, seeing the person coming, Chu Xin patted her small chest: "Sister Qing, you are back, Xin'er has been waiting for you for a long time."

"What do you need from me?" Chu Qing raised his eyebrows.

Chu Xin looked around and said in a low voice: "I heard that the old ancestor is choosing a husband's family for the older sisters. Sister Rou is too embarrassed to ask, so I will ask for her, what kind of husband's family the old ancestor found for her."

"You actually know all about this?" Chu Qing looked at Chu Xin in surprise.She didn't know this until she entered the Buddhist hall. When did this little girl become so well-informed.

Chu Xin curled her lips: "We didn't know that Fifth Aunt came home in a hurry and cried to my mother."
