Chapter 103
The carriage walked slowly and walked for a month. When the sun was scorching in June, it drove into Chang'an City.
Turning through the alley ahead, you will reach the Guojiu Mansion. Chen Tingzhang knocked on the car window.
Chen Jiao opened the curtains.
It's been a month since Chen Jiao no longer felt sad because of Li Mu, but she was exhausted by the boat and the car, and she still lost weight and had a pale and haggard face.
Chen Tingzhang said distressedly: "I will see my father later, so my sister doesn't have to speak, I will do everything."
The old man valued Li Mu so much that he brought his sister back without authorization. The old man must have a temper. Chen Tingzhang was worried that his sister would not be able to withstand it.
"Everything has arisen because of me, and it has implicated my elder brother." Chen Jiao said gratefully.
She was indeed grateful to Chen Tingzhang. Chen Tingzhang's relationship with his original body was contrary to human nature, but along the way, Chen Tingzhang was trustworthy and always treated her with courtesy. He no longer forced her to get close to her and asked about her well-being. If Chen Tingzhang was willing, Chen Jiao wanted to be a brother and sister with him.
"Why are you polite to me?" Chen Tingzhang smiled at her.
Chen Jiao smiled back, put down the curtains, and sat down again.
Chen Tingzhang looked at the curtains, but his smile became bitter. The amnesia-lost sister seemed to have become a different person. She was obviously more sensible and more like a lady, but he hoped that the sister who liked to be pissed and acted spoiled at any time would come back soon.
Not counting the dead original wife, Chen Guojiu has a wife, five concubines, one with two legitimate sons, one with one with one with one with one with one with one with one with one with one with one with three legitimate sons and four daughters. The illegitimate sons have already started a family and started a business, some live in the mansion, and some have taken their wives and children to work in other places, and their daughters have already gotten married. Chen Jiao is the first to sneak back to her parents' home. The eldest son is naturally Chen Tingzhang, and there is also a fourteen-year-old second son, who is the younger brother Chen Tingsheng who was born with Chen Jiao in this life.
When Chen Jiao returns home, she must go to pay homage to her mother, Liu.
Liu had no opinion and married Chen Guojiu because of her beauty. Now seeing her daughter coming back with her eldest son, Liu almost fainted and then kept crying.
Chen Tingsheng loves and hates Chen Jiao, his sister, and hates her sister and elder brother for doing something unfair and unfamiliar to each other. She finally got married, but now she is running back, making her mother cry.
Chen Jiao is a filial daughter. Facing Liu's tears, she felt a little guilty for her original body, but she couldn't live with Li Mu anymore, and there was no other way except to go back to her parents' home.
"My sister is working hard all the way, I'll send her back to Chunhuayuan first." Chen Tingzhang looked at Liu crying impatiently, and said in a tough tone.
Chunhuayuan is the garden where Chen Jiao lived before her marriage.
Liu was very confused and agreed to the arrangement of the eldest son.
Chen Tingzhang sent Chen Jiao over and saw that his sister had settled down before he left.
Chen Jiao was physically and mentally exhausted, and she had no energy to look at her new residence, so she lay on the bed and rested.
She slept very deeply this time. I don’t know how long it took, Chen Jiao was woken up by a quarrel.
"Go aside, you rebellious son!"
"My sister is still resting. If you have anything to say, my father will wait until my sister wakes up."
"You rebellious son and have the face to support her. Believe it or not, I will break your legs!"
When Chen Jiao heard this, she knew that Chen Guojiu was back.
In the five lives that Chen Jiao has experienced, only Lin Xiucai was a good father in the first life, and she was an orphan in the second life, and the biological father in the third life watched his daughter be abandoned by the lion dance family and turned her away. The fourth life of the prefect Chen was even a bastard who sold his daughter for honor. It was the fifth life, although Chen Guojiu was not a loyal minister, he was a good father who took great pains to his daughter!
Since you are a good father, no matter how powerful you scold, you will not really punish your daughter cruelly.
Chen Jiao got up from the bed, and without combing her hair, she put on her coat and rushed out. In the main hall, the father and son of the Chen family were confronting each other. Chen Jiao didn't even see Chen Guojiu's face clearly, so she threw herself into Chen Guojiu's arms and cried: "Dad, Li Mu bullies people too much, beg her to make decisions for me!"
Chen Guojiu, who was scolding his son, was stunned. What, Li Mu bullied people too much? Didn’t his son snatch his daughter back from Li Mu?
Chen Tingzhang also stared at his sister blankly.
Chen Jiao just hugged Chen Guojiu and cried. Perhaps it was because the father and daughter were thicker than water. With the support of their elders, Chen Jiao really cried out all the grievances she suffered from Li Mu.
Chen Guojiu was so sad that his daughter cried!
You should know that since Chen Guojiu decided to betroth his daughter to Li Mu, his daughter refused to call him his father. He would always be angry whenever he met. In other words, Chen Guojiu hadn't heard his daughter call him his father for two years! After learning that his daughter had lost her memory, Chen Guojiu was glad that his daughter could live with Li Mu peacefully, but he also endured his concern for his daughter. Now that his daughter is crying like this, Chen Guojiu felt uncomfortable.
"Bravely talk, how can Li Mu bully you?"
Resisting the urge to help his daughter get up, Chen Guojiu worked hard to maintain his last dignity. In Chen Guojiu's eyes, Li Mu is a very steady junior. It would be better if he was not bullied by the brother and sister together. How could he bully his daughter in turn?
Of course, Chen Jiao couldn't tell me that Chen Tingzhang kissed her, so she said that Li Mu relied on her memory and treated her as a maid, and was despised in all kinds of despises.
Mr. Chen doesn't believe it very much.
At this moment, his companion came over and said respectfully outside the door: "Master, there is a letter from Pingcheng."
Chen Jiao and Chen Tingzhang were both shocked.
Mr. Chen glared at the brother and sister and went to read the letter first.
Chen Jiao bit her lip, and the letter must have been written by Li Mu. I don’t know what Li Mu said.
The letter Li Mu wrote to Chen Guojiu was sincere: "... The prince wanted to reminisce with his wife alone. The son-in-law knew the deep love between brother and sister, which might prompt the wife to recover her memory, so he retreated to the courtyard. He did not want the wife to be afraid of the prince, and misunderstood that the son-in-law stood by and watched with ruthlessness, and parted with hatred... The son-in-law felt guilty and was worried for many days and could not sleep. He thought that the wife was about to come to Chang'an, and he specially wrote a letter to reveal the truth. He hoped that his father-in-law would clarify for the son-in-law in order to obtain the wife's forgiveness."
Mr. Chen looked at it three times and saw four key messages.
First: My daughter has not yet recovered her memory!
Second: The evil son first bullies others and drives away his honest son-in-law, and then he must bully his amnesiac daughter. The daughter is afraid of grievances and feels resentful to her husband who is "stand by and watches", and returns to her parents' home in anger!
Third: Although my daughter ran away with her brother and her reputation must be worse, the son-in-law still wants to win back her daughter and continue to be a couple!
Fourth: The daughter is innocent, and the son-in-law is even more innocent. It is all caused by the evil son!
After analyzing it clearly, Chen Guojiu held the letter paper tightly and looked at his son with a deep face: "Say, what did you do when you went to Pingcheng!"
Chen Tingzhang pursed his lips.
He disdained to lie and ignored his sister's eyes that he advised him to cooperate. Chen Tingzhang confessed frankly and said coldly: "My sister trusts him so much, but he doesn't have the courage to protect her. She is so cowardly and cannot be worthy of her."
"You still have the face to say that he is a coward. If you bully your sister in front of your son-in-law, why don't you say that you are a beast?" Chen Guojiu was so angry that he stared at him and asked someone to ask for family law. He wanted to teach his son a lesson in his own way.
Chen Jiao looked at Chen Tingzhang anxiously.
Chen Tingzhang did not escape. If he could keep his sister, what would it be if he was beaten by his father?
The Chen family's torture instrument was a vine whip. The servant held the vine whip in both hands. Without the instructions from Chen Guojiu, Chen Tingzhang took the initiative to kneel to the ground.
Chen Jiao stood in front of him and begged his father not to hit him. Chen Guojiu pulled his daughter away. As soon as he raised his whip, he suddenly heard his wife Liu exclaim. When he looked back, he saw that his daughter, who had just been torn apart, fell to the ground, motionless, as if she had fainted!
Now, Chen Guojiu didn't want to hit anyone anymore, and Chen Tingzhang didn't want to be beaten anymore. Everyone hurriedly carried Chen Jiao to the bed in the inner room.
Chen Tingzhang was moving fast, it was him who hugged Chen Jiao. Chen Jiao was afraid that he would worry, so she quickly blinked at her brother when she lay down.
Chen Tingzhang:...
Unknowing the truth, Chen Guojiu looked at his "unconscious" daughter and frowned. Liu was standing by his daughter's bed and kept complaining about her husband.
Soon, the doctor came and took Chen Jiao's pulse.
The family stared at the doctor with a breath and concentration.
Sweat beads gradually emerged from the doctor's forehead. The people in the capital knew that the fourth girl born in the uncle's mansion had ambiguous relationship with her brother. Now the fourth girl who was married was brought back by the prince, and again...
"Tell me, what's going on?" Chen Guojiu asked anxiously.
The doctor put down the fourth girl's hand tremblingly, did not dare to look around, and just lowered his head and said, "Congratulations to the uncle, my wife is happy."
A stone caused a thousand layers of waves, and the people beside the bed were shocked, and even Chen Jiao opened her eyes in shock!
Mrs. Chen Guojiu, Liu looked at her son and then at her daughter, and her mood was indescribable.
Chen Tingzhang clenched his fists and stared at his sister with a look that he wanted to eat people.
"Do you know how long the little girl has been pregnant?" Chen Guojiu asked with a glimmer of hope.
The doctor's forehead was sweating more and more, and he said, "The time is still shallow, and I can only say about more than a month."
More than a month?
Chen Guojiu quickly made up the calculations. His daughter came from Pingcheng and walked for a month on the way. What if his son did during the period...
When he thought of this, Chen Tingzhang met his father's complicated eyes and suddenly woke up from his jealousy and anger. If his father knew that the child was Li Mu, his father would definitely send his sister back to Pingcheng! Thinking of this, Chen Tingzhang didn't care about hating Li Mu, and immediately showed a forced expression of joy.
When Mr. Chen saw this, he felt sad.
However, after the doctor left, Chen Guojiu suddenly remembered the letter Ruyi wrote to him again, which said that his daughter and son-in-law had already completed the marriage!
Since that's the case, this child may still be Li Mu's!
"You all go out." After calming down, Mr. Chen said with a calm face.
Before leaving, Chen Tingzhang handed his sister a look and pointed at himself.
Chen Jiao understands what Chen Tingzhang means.
Her heart was so chaotic that she was pregnant with Li Mu's flesh and blood.
She didn't want to have more rumors with Chen Tingzhang, but Chen Jiao was even more afraid that Chen Guojiu would send her back to Pingcheng. Li Mu didn't like her and wanted her again. She wanted her but watched her bullied by another man. She was so stern-hearted that Chen Jiao didn't want to see him again. If, if, if she admitted that the child was Chen Tingzhang's...
No, she can't give Chen Tingzhang any hope. He deserves to marry a good girl and start over.
"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, dad will protect you."
Everyone left, and Chen Guojiu sat beside the bed, looking at his miserable daughter with pity, and inducing her in a scrupulous manner.
Chen Jiao opened her eyes, her eyes were filled with tears. Before Chen Guogong asked that question, she swallowed even more: "Dad, the child belongs to Li Mu. My eldest brother and I are innocent. But Li Mu hurt me too deeply. My daughter doesn't want this child, so she asks her father to help me."
If it were any husband in the previous four lives, Chen Jiao would willingly give birth to children for them, but Li Mu was not worthy of it.
After hearing this, Chen Guojiu felt relieved. Fortunately, the brother and sister did not do anything stupid.
He gently wiped away his daughter's tears, and his voice became more loving: "Jiaojiao, don't cry, Dad knows you are wronged, but you have to know that Li Mu did not intentionally hurt you, he just wanted to help you recover your memory. If you want to blame, blame your elder brother..."
"Dad, if Li Mu had me in his heart, he shouldn't have hoped that I would have recovered my memory." Chen Jiao interrupted her father and said mockingly. From beginning to end, Li Mu just took her as a advantage for taking the initiative to deliver it to the door. Perhaps, Li Mu had long disliked her and wanted her to recover her memory and leave him on his own initiative.
Only in this way can Li Mu be explained by ignoring his ignorance.
My daughter was in tears. Chen Guojiu knew that her daughter couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Forget it, if you don't want to go back, just settle your baby here first. In short, my father will make the decision for you. Jiaojiao should not cry anymore, and hurt your body carefully." Touching her daughter's head, Chen Guojiu said earnestly. Her daughter is young and can easily be angry, but Chen Guojiu understands that Li Mu is the best choice for her daughter.
Anyway, he would never agree to his daughter's separation.
After appeased his daughter, Mr. Chen wrote a reply letter to his son-in-law, which told him the good news that his daughter was pregnant.
The messenger rushed forward, and three days later, Li Mu received the reply.
Is she pregnant?
Facing the letter paper, Li Mu didn't know what to think, and the situation that Chen Tingzhang forced her to come to his mind that day.
