The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

"By the way..."

Just when there was silence, Lao Shi spoke.

"The Sixth Prince is close friends with that little bastard from the Duan family, so he must be there to accompany him to school? That devil of a man, no one in the capital dares to mess with him these days. Fifth sister, didn't you say earlier that Brother Qi had a fight with that brat?"

Qi Ge'er is Chu Qinqian's eldest grandson, and he is also naughty and mischievous on weekdays.

It would be fine if she didn't mention it, but when she did, her face turned very ugly.

"Forget about that brat. When they beat him up, he rushed over and followed them, going to Uncle Duan's house whenever he had a chance. I couldn't stand it, so I kept him at home to study. He doesn't like to read or write on weekdays, but now he's been receiving letters non-stop for two or three days, and I've had them all sent to Uncle Duan's house. I don't know what kind of magic potion that Duan kid has put on him. It really makes me so angry."

"I know that. That kid from the Duan family is really amazing. So is the kid from my husband's sister's family. He's usually so arrogant that we don't dare let him out easily for fear of causing trouble. But now, guess what's going on?"

The eighth sister, Chu Qinmiao, kept the secret, and the other sisters urged her to speak quickly.

"That time at the Cui family's, those kids used to be good friends, so they got together and went to cause trouble for the Duan family. But one of them managed to subdue them completely, carrying their belongings to their doorstep. They took all the money they had, leaving them with a few copper coins. After they went back, they behaved themselves for several days."

Fifth sister Chu Qinqian also felt the same way, but she had been well behaved for several days.

"Eighth sister, your sister-in-law married into the Mu family?"

Chu Qinmiao nodded. "That's right, Mu Ge'er. Anyway, I feel relieved. That kid is very tough. Last time, when my sister-in-law came back to her parents' home, Mu Ge'er came along and ripped off all the flowers in Sister Yun'er's hair. I was annoyed just looking at him. I heard that someone cured him, and I feel relieved."

Boys around eleven or twelve years old are at the age when they are annoying.

These sisters started discussing the bad things their brothers had done, and their faces were full of anger.

Prince Rui had long been accustomed to the gossiping ways of his daughters. They relied on the fact that he was still an old man and their husbands' families dared not say anything. They would come back from time to time and gather together to complain.

How could a married woman return to her parents' home at any time? The reputation of his Rui Wang Mansion will be ruined by them.

He also said that he came back to see him, but he thought it was almost like he came to see Baoshou.

snort!

The old man was drinking tea while thinking this in his heart, but his body involuntarily leaned over to listen to the gossip.

Chu Yuhui sat next to him and looked at the expression on his grandfather's face. He knew what his old man was thinking.

"That's right. You still have the nerve to say that I only love Baoshou and not them. Don't you see that I am as naughty as a monkey on the mountain? I am not even half as well-behaved as Baoshou."

Seeing Baoshou sitting quietly beside them and listening to them talk, Chu Qinmei's heart softened. She and Baoshou's father were born of the same mother and had a small age gap, and they had a deep relationship since childhood.

Her younger brother passed away early, leaving behind only this one bloodline. She loves this nephew the most.

"Although the Duan family has a bad reputation, he is not rude. Baoshou is so well-behaved, there is no way he would clash with him. But Baoshou doesn't have to be afraid of him. Our family doesn't dare to hit the prince, but how dare the son of an earl act rashly in front of Prince Rui's mansion?"

They didn't take Kang Ge'er seriously, but they were afraid that the mouse would break the jade bottle.

Baoshou is their sweetheart.

After Chu Qinxiao said this, he was scolded by his second sister again.

"You have no control over your words. What do you mean by hitting the prince? I think you need to be punished for your bad mouth today."

Chu Qinxiao quickly begged for mercy. Oh my god, she just couldn’t change this bad habit.

It’s better to talk less outside in the future.

"I know, I know. I only talk about it at home. I won't tell them outside."

Chu Qinqian chuckled. She loved seeing her fourth sister get humiliated the most. Last time, she said something wrong and was ridiculed by her for a long time.

"I see you always take your daughter-in-law with you when you go out. Why are you afraid to speak? You deserve it!"

Chu Qinxiao is afraid of her elder sister, but not of this younger sister who has been bickering with her since childhood.

"I told you to laugh at my joke, I'll twist your mouth."

The fourth and fifth sisters started fighting, and the other sisters were watching the fun.

There are many daughters in the Rui Palace, and they don't have the same mother, but they have such a good relationship. One reason is that Princess Rui taught them well, and they were raised together since childhood, so it is normal for them to quarrel occasionally; the other reason is that they all know that without the support of their brothers, their husband's family will definitely have a hard time. As long as they are of one mind, their husband's family will not dare to bully them at will.

This was the truth they had learned when they went out to attend banquets when they were young. As long as the sisters were connected in heart, if one sister was bullied, the other sister would fight back. Since they were many sisters and had good family backgrounds, they were not afraid even of the eldest princess.

When the fifth daughter married into the Shao family, the Minister of the Imperial Household, her mother-in-law relied on her status to bully the fifth daughter. However, her own sister, the second daughter, directly made things difficult for her daughter outside, causing Mrs. Shao's daughter to come home to complain.

Not only that, except for Lord Shao, the other brothers were troubled by those sisters, making them miserable.

These children would spontaneously restrain their mother without them having to come to her house. If this continues, they will never have a peaceful life.

The eleven sisters of Prince Rui's Mansion are well-known as the "dominant beauties" in Beijing.

"Alright, alright, that's disrespectful. It's getting late, let's serve the meal. After dinner, each of you should go back to where you belong. You're making me annoyed."

After that, she muttered, "There is no other girl in the whole capital who is as unruly as ours."

Prince Rui waved his hand and took Chu Yuhui to the hall first.

Chu Qinrui and several sisters were left looking at each other.

"I don't know why Father pretends to be so cheerful all day long. He's so happy every time we come back. He's so happy every time he wants us to leave, but he only says these empty words."

After Prince Rui walked away, Chu Qinxiao whispered.

Chu Qinxiao stopped talking only after being glared at by Chu Qinyao.

"Father is like this. You haven't known this for the first time. Let's go. After dinner, we'll go back and come back in a month to see if he can find someone to invite us."

The youngest Chu Qinmei said.

"Eleven is the most mischievous. He uses all his cleverness on his father."

Chu Qinmiao was talking to her elder sister Chu Qinrui.

It’s no wonder they say that, their father is just like that, he says one thing but does another.

Chu Yuhui, who walked beside his grandfather, thought the same. Every night, his grandfather would drive his aunts away.

The aunts hadn't come for some time, so he sent someone to preach to them.

After dinner, when everyone left, the Prince Rui's Mansion became deserted.

King Rui sighed as he looked at the house that was crowded with people during the day, then turned around and went back with his crutch.
