A car accident, our family of three crossed

The old Duke slammed his palm on the table, almost breaking the teacup, "This is too much bullying. The Cheng'en Marquisate is really great. They even dare to bully my granddaughter."

Mr. Chu also had a bad look on his face and said in a cold voice: "Since the old marquis passed away, none of the descendants of the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion have any future. One day I will definitely report the Cheng'en Marquis in the court."

Chu Zheng sneered and said, "Zhou Huaiyan, the son of the Marquis of Cheng'en, has often relied on his family background to bully men and women. However, no one has dared to bring a complaint to the Dali Temple, so the Dali Temple has turned a blind eye. It seems that there are some things that I, the Dali Temple Minister, should take care of."

Chu Fang stroked his chin and thought, when he trains the soldiers tomorrow, he might cripple the second son of the Cheng'en Marquisate who can't endure hardship. It doesn't seem like he can be blamed. Who made him insist on enduring hardship even though he can't endure it?

The men in the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion didn't know that because there was an arrogant and domineering Zhou Yan in their mansion, who always bullied the weak and feared the strong, they hit a wall this time and their whole family was secretly targeted.

"The second daughter of the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion?"

The eldest lady sneered disdainfully and said, "Not long ago, the wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en revealed to me her intention to marry into our Duke's Mansion. She was talking about this second young lady."

At this point, the eldest lady paused, glanced at Chu Fang, and continued, "Want to marry that unruly and headstrong Second Miss to our Xiao Fang, humph! She doesn't look that good, but she thinks she's beautiful."

Chu Fang didn't expect the topic would suddenly be brought up to him. He suddenly felt a chill and was about to say something when he heard the eldest lady's voice again.

"I think I rejected him too politely at that time. The girls in their family are not worthy of marrying into our family. Even if our Xiao Fang marries a bitch, I will never agree to him marrying a girl from the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion."

Hearing the last sentence, Chu Fang was so excited that he spat out a mouthful of tea. What was his mother saying? Was it true that she would describe her own son in this way?

If he really married a bitch, would she be happy?

Ugh... Ugh... How did he get fooled?

After seeing the reactions of the men in the family, the old lady finally began to like them more and her tone when speaking to them became much softer.

"Hmph! Those unpresentable people in the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion are probably already holding a grudge against them. My granddaughter and little great-grandson are going to be bullied. I have to go back to the capital to protect them."

The eldest lady quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, mother has thought it through. In my opinion, since God has allowed mother to meet them in advance, why don't we obey God's will and bring them back."

As soon as these words were spoken, the old lady gave the eldest lady an admiring look, thinking that her eldest daughter-in-law understood her.

However, the old Duke still refused to give in. "This matter still needs to be discussed in detail. I will consult the Emperor after the morning court tomorrow. Before that, the identities of the mother and daughter need to remain secret."

The old lady and the first lady were somewhat unhappy at first, but when they heard that they had to consult the emperor in advance, they said nothing more.

In the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, not many people knew about the existence of Song Ning and her son. At first, only the old duke and the father and son of the first wife knew about it.

Later, the old lady found out about it by accident, and it was not until a while ago that Master Chu found out about it because of the noodle recipe in Song Ning's hand.

After their family of three arrived in the capital, the old lady kept making a fuss about bringing people into the house, which attracted the attention of the eldest lady, who only learned about this recently.

Ever since she learned about this, when no one was around, she would always ask Chu Fang about the situation of Song Ning's family of three, and she had almost understood everything about it.

Except for the few people present at the moment, everyone else in the mansion was kept in the dark. Even the Second Madam didn't know about it, let alone the other grandchildren.

Except for the few people present at the moment, everyone else in the mansion was kept in the dark. Even the Second Madam didn't know about it, let alone the other grandchildren.

There is no woman who marries into the Chu family and doesn't want to give birth to a daughter, but each of them is not good at conceiving and all they give birth to are bad boys.

When the eldest lady was young, she accompanied the eldest uncle to guard the city at the border. Her two sons were almost born on the battlefield. After that, she was injured and her stomach stopped moving. Her dream of having a daughter was also shattered.

Now that she knew there was a grown-up girl like Song Ning, the eldest lady began to make some plans in her mind.

She knew that Song Ning's identity could not be made public. So if she wanted Song Ning to become a member of the Chu family legitimately, the best way would be for one of the three branches of the Chu family to adopt Song Ning as their daughter.

The first lady thought about it and realized that the third branch had been living in a cold and harsh place at the border all year round, so it was basically impossible for it to compete with the first branch. The only one who could compete with them was the second branch.

The first and second wives were close friends before they married into the Chu family, and their relationship became even closer after they became sisters-in-law.

However, one thing is for sure, she would never give in on the matter of recognizing her daughter.

Fortunately, the Second Madam still doesn't know about Song Ning's existence. The First Madam thought that she should put in more effort before the Second Madam finds out.

So, after everyone finished discussing things and went back to their rooms to rest, the eldest lady lay in the warm bed, and when Uncle Chu lay down, she told him her thoughts.

"What do you think? While the second brother's family doesn't know about this yet, let's ask our parents to register the child under our name. What do you think?"

Uncle Chu quickly stopped her: "I advise you not to play these little tricks, otherwise my sister-in-law will hate you."

The eldest lady slapped him unhappily and said, "Why, you don't want a daughter? If the second wife's hatred can be exchanged for a daughter, I will be happy. Besides, we have been friends for decades, how can she hate me so much? It will be fine after a while."

"That being said, the final decision on this matter still depends on the Emperor's opinion. We can't just recognize a daughter if we want to. We also have to consider the child's opinion, right?"

Although Uncle Chu also wanted to recognize his daughter, he could not ignore the feelings of the person involved.

"No matter what, the child is a child of our Chu family. No matter which branch's name the child is registered under, we will love her as our own daughter. Do you think you will not treat her well if she is not registered under the name of our eldest branch?"

"Go away, what are you talking about? We've been married for decades, what do you think of me? I love her so much!"

The eldest lady felt that her motherly love was questioned because of Mr. Chu's words, and kicked him under the quilt in dissatisfaction.

She was also the descendant of a military general and had some experience in martial arts. The force of her kick was quite strong and she almost kicked Mr. Chu off the bed.

Uncle Chu knew that he had angered his wife, so he quickly apologized. As he apologized, the soft quilt covered the two of them tightly from head to toe...
