Wan Shu rushed back to her parents' home in anger.

After listening to Agui's report, Chu Sui returned to the inner room to guard Run Ge'er without eating dinner.

At the beginning of the day, the boy on the bed finally made a move.

Chu Sui's heart tightened. Looking at his son who was yawning and opening his eyes, he was a little panicked.

Brother Run rubbed his eyes sleepily, rubbed one by one and opened the other, and saw a strange man sitting by the bed. Brother Run was shocked and looked at the strange man a few times. He instinctively turned his head to look for his mother, but after searching around inside and outside the bed, he couldn't find his mother's figure.

"Who are you?" Since birth, he hadn't dealt with a few strangers. Brother Run shrank in with a defensive look, holding the quilt in his little hand, "Where is my mother?" The boy's voice was low and he sounded very pitiful.

Chu Sui didn't dare to tell his son that his mother was leaving immediately, for fear that the boy would not be able to stop crying. He tried to smile gently and looked at the boy with phoenix eyes intimately: "Brother Run, do you know who I am?"

Run Ge'er shook his head and looked at him carefully after shaking it. For a boy who doesn't like looking in the mirror, he can't tell the similarity between him and his biological father, but Run Ge'er can already tell the fabric of his clothes. His eyes flashed over the silk on the man's body, the jade pendant on his waist, and then looking at the strange and elegant decorations in the room, Run Ge'er knew that this man's family was very rich.

This is a rich and beautiful man.

With such a judgment, Brother Run was not particularly afraid. His black phoenix eyes stared at the man inquiringly, "Who are you? Why am I at your house? Where did my mother go?"

The boy was quite brave and did not cry desperately because his mother was not around. Chu Sui relaxed a little, looked at his son with a smile and asked, "Have you heard of the Duke of Chu's Mansion?"

Brother Run opened his mouth slightly. The mother said that his father was the second master of the Duke of Chu's Mansion. Before he took a nap, his mother told him that he would see his father soon. Could this man be his father? Brother Run's heart was beating and was about to nod, but suddenly remembered Uncle Zhou's words again and again, Uncle Zhou warned him repeatedly that when he arrived at the Duke's Mansion, he would pretend to know nothing in advance.

These thoughts flashed quickly, and Brother Run shook his head blankly.

Chu Sui understood the dumbness of the boy just now as strange to the "Duke of Chu Mansion". He smiled slightly, held the boy's hand and said, "In addition to the royal relatives, the Duke of Chu Mansion is the most famous family in the capital. I am the second master of the Duke of Chu Mansion, and it is also..."

Speaking of this, Chu Sui curled his smile and stared at the boy's eyes with a complicated look, "Brother Run, I am your father."

The speculation was confirmed, and Brother Run was really stunned.

He raised his head and looked at the man beside him. He was seven years old. Since he understood that he should have a father, Brother Run kept thinking about what his father looked like and where his father was. Every time he saw another child on the street holding a father and carrying a father, Brother Run would ask his mother once. The mother refused to tell him that he would cry sadly. When he learned that Uncle Zhou was going to help him find a father, Brother Run was very happy. Unexpectedly, he really saw his father today.

This man is his father, who is better-looking and richer than other children he has ever seen.

Brother Run grinned at first, then cried. Gulu got up and threw himself into Chu Sui's arms, hugged him tightly, and tears wet Chu Sui's clothes, "Dad, why don't you want me and my mother? I miss you so much. Others have dads, but I don't..."

Wow, really crying.

Which child doesn’t want to have parents to have a love for him?

The boy was crying pitifully, and Chu Sui felt very uncomfortable when she listened to her son's tender complaints. He really didn't know that Dong Yue'er was pregnant. If he knew... Maybe no matter whether he was sixteen or now, he would have aborted the child. But when he saw Run Ge'er, he found that Run Ge'er looked so similar to him, Chu Sui could no longer be cruel to him.

"It's bad for Dad. Daddy doesn't know that your mother is pregnant with you, otherwise she would have brought back Brother Run." Chu Sui lowered her head and kissed the boy's head, whispering: "Brother Run, don't worry, Daddy will teach you to read and write in the future, and teach you how to be the top scorer in the exam and become a high-ranking official. You will give you any daddy you want."

Brother Run nodded in satisfaction.

Chu Sui pushed his son away, held his shoulder with one hand, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears with the other. Brother Run raised his head and looked at him without blinking. Chu Sui laughed, he was also a child after all, and he was happy to see his father who had been waiting for for a long time. He didn't have too many complicated thoughts, and he wouldn't think deeply about the reason why his father didn't take them back to Beijing.

"Dad, where is my mother?" The excitement of recognizing my father calmed down a little, and Brother Run remembered his mother again.

Chu Sui frowned and looked at his son dependently. He pursed his lips and said helplessly: "Brother Run, my father was only sixteen years old when he met your mother. Your mother was a village woman. We are not suitable, so my father gave your mother a sum of money and returned to the capital by himself. Later, my father married another wife. I just married this year. When your mother found out, she didn't want to be a concubine, so she left you to take care of me. She went back to Yueyang alone..."

"I don't believe it. My mother said she wanted to raise me with her father!" Run Ge'er could not accept that her mother left him and left by herself. She was about to jump out of bed with barefoot, but Chu Sui held it down in time. Run Ge'er couldn't persuade him, and cried "wow", burst into tears, and shouted at her mother one by one.

My mother said that if they found my father, they would be rich. He also promised to buy clothes for my mother to wear. How could my mother not want him anymore?

Brother Run kept crying, trying to jump down to find his mother, crying so hard that his body was thrusting. Chu Sui was heartbroken. He had been feeling uncomfortable for a long time after his grandfather passed away. Now that his son is separated from his mother who has been with him for seven years, it will only make him feel even more heartbreaking.

But Chu Sui couldn't guarantee anything. He couldn't go back to Dong Yue'er. He had to let his son give up. Therefore, Chu Sui just held his son and comforted him again and again until Brother Run cried so hard that he buried himself in his arms and whispered.

Chu Sui often coaxed her two sisters, and she had some experience in coaxing her children. When she heard her son's stomach rumbling, Chu Sui immediately came up with an idea, wiped her tears again, and asked her son, "Brother Run, are you hungry, Daddy, have someone make a table of delicious food for you, Daddy feed you?"

Brother Run was hungry, but he didn't want to eat. While crying, he begged his father pitifully, "I won't eat, Dad, go find my mother, come back, you should get my mother back quickly, I want my mother..." As he said that, he started to cry again.

"Your mother has gone far away, and my father doesn't know where she went." Chu Sui lied very seriously, held his son and ordered Agui to pass on the meal.

There was indeed a sumptuous table of food in the kitchen, and it was arranged. Chu Sui picked up his son and walked towards the main hall. Brother Run was thrusting at the beginning and kept crying, but when he saw the table of food, including chickens, fish, pig's trotters, and many dishes he had never seen before, the boy swallowed his saliva and stopped crying.

Chu Sui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his son was still young and could use these to fool him. If he grew up a little, it would be difficult to coax him.

Putting his son on the chair, Chu Sui sat next to his son and picked up food for Brother Run. He looked at Brother Run, just like a maid serving his master, and he didn't move a single chopstick. Brother Run asked if it was delicious. Brother Run was eating these delicious foods, and forgot his mother for now.

After dinner, Chu Sui asked him to prepare water again. He accompanied Run Ge'er to take a bath and told Run Ge'er who was in the family. Run Ge'er's eyes had already been swollen from crying. Now he was taking a comfortable hot bath. Looking at his handsome and gentle father, although he still missed his mother, he no longer cried so hard.

After taking a shower, the father and son slept in bed.

Chu Sui hugged the boy's little body and continued to say sweet words, "Brother Run, Daddy always wanted to have a son, but now he finally has..."

Most of the time, he said, Brother Run listened in a depressed manner. After a while, he saw that his son was finally sleepy. Chu Suicai whispered: "Brother Run, Daddy knows you miss your mother, but she has left. From now on, Daddy will be nice to Brother Run, and Brother Run also regards this place as your home. Live with Daddy with him in peace, okay?"

Brother Run got into his father's broad arms and nodded even more after a long time.

It was late at night, and Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion, and Cheng'en Marquis's wife was coaxing her daughter.

Wan Shu returned to her parents' home at dusk and shocked the entire Marquis' mansion. Wan Shu didn't want her brothers and sisters-in-law to talk, so she was alone in the boudoir. She calmed down when it was dark and opened the door for her mother. When she saw her mother, she couldn't stop crying and complained to the Chu family.

My daughter suffered such a great grievance as soon as she first got married. Mrs. Chengenhou was certainly dissatisfied with the Chu family’s actions. But she was not a 15 or 16-year-old girl. She knew that tears and complaints could not solve the problem. After listening to her daughter crying patiently, Mrs. Chengenhou wet her handkerchief to help her daughter wipe her tears. When Wan Shu calmed down, she asked in a low voice: "Shu'er, we are the only mother here. Tell the truth to your mother, do you still want to live with Shi Qian? If you don't want to, my mother will arrange for you to divorce tomorrow."

Wan Shu raised her head in surprise and called out in disbelief: "Mom..."

She was just angry, and didn't... she didn't think about leaving Chu Sui-he.

Mrs. Cheng'en Hou understood, she sighed and hugged her daughter and said, "Shu'er, if you change this matter to your mother, your mother will feel wronged, but if you want to live with Shiqian, you shouldn't be so impulsive. Isn't it just a concubine? If you bring it back, what can it cause you to get back? With so many family businesses in the Duke's Mansion, you still have to worry about his future betrothal gifts?"

Wan Shu defended aggrievedly: "But when I see that child, I will think of Chu Sui and other women..."

Mrs. Chengenhou was funny: "You just thought about what to do if Chu Sui brought another woman back one day?"

"He dares!" Wan Shu raised her head from her mother's arms and said with her eyes wide open.

Mrs. Cheng'en Hou clicked her forehead, "He is the second master of the Duke's Mansion, and he is full of talent and elegant style. In terms of ability, your elder brother is not as good as Shi Qian, but who has never touched the maid next to him before getting married? He also had a fishy fish after getting married. The Chu family has a good family style, and Shi Qian was just a confused person once in his youth. Otherwise, he would really take two concubines, what can you do?"

Wan Shu's expression dimmed.

Mrs. Cheng'en Hou patted her daughter's shoulder and said earnestly: "Shu'er, we should be married as husband. If we want to live a good life after marriage, we must learn to let go of what we should give up and not be petty. Looking at the capital, Shi Qian is also a good husband who is one in a hundred. If you are a mother today, she will recognize that child openly. Shi Qian also knows that he is not kind and feels guilty. Seeing you so virtuous, he will treat you well in the future. Do you think? On the contrary, if you make such a fuss, you will easily lose the guilt in Shi Qian's heart. If you never let go, blame him for this, Shi Qian is cold. What should I do if I really go to find another woman?"

Wan Shu finally heard it, pursed her lips, and secretly regretted her impulse.

Mrs. Chengen looked at her daughter and smiled and comforted her: "Okay, don't worry. Shiqian is here tomorrow. You can follow him back along the steps. Be gentle in private, it's still time. As for that child, now their father and son have just recognized each other, Shiqian has never been a father, so he must be determined to compensate his son. Even if Shu'er has any dissatisfaction, she must endure it now and can't touch Shiqian's rebellious scales anymore."

Wan Shu's eyes turned and asked in surprise: "Mom means, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge?"

Mrs. Cheng'enhou did not deny it and pinched her daughter's nose. "My spoiled daughter cannot be bullied for nothing and will not fight back. But Shu'er remembers that Xiaoshi can punish her, and she must not make things worse, and she must not be caught by others."

Wan Shu responded happily.

The next day, the people in Cheng'en Hou's mansion had just had breakfast, and the second wife of Chu and his mother came to the door with their husbands.

Mrs. Cheng'enhou sent all her sons and daughters-in-law away, and the couple accompanied her daughter to meet the guests.

Mrs. Chengen Hou knew to persuade her daughter, but her daughter was wronged. She also wanted to sarcastically mock Chu Sui and her son for support. However, seeing that Chu Sui was actually injured, Mrs. Chengen Hou felt a sudden slap in her heart and immediately glared at her. Really, the daughter's move turned into ignorance!

Wan Shu lowered her head guiltily

Mrs. Cheng'en Hou decided to teach her daughter a lesson in the future. She went forward to care about her son-in-law first, and said blamingly: "Shu'er is so ignorant. It's all my fault that I used to spoil her too much and spoil her lawless... Shi Qian, for the sake of my mother, please forgive Shu'er? Next time Shu'er dares to make trouble again, and mother teaches her a lesson in person."

Chu Sui looked at his wife.

Wan Shu looked at him timidly, a little aggrieved and a little scared, afraid that her husband would not forgive her.

After a night of rest, Chu Sui had calmed down. At this time, his wife obviously felt regretful. Chu Sui didn't want to care about the wound on her face anymore. She sincerely gave a big gift to Chengenhou and his wife, "My father-in-law, Shi Qian was young and confused, and caused the fruit of today. It hurt Shu'er and suffered grievances. Shi Qian knew that he was wrong and asked his father-in-law to forgive me once. Shi Qian promised that Shu'er would never let her suffer such grievances again in the future."

Chengenhou was a man, and he could understand Chu Sui's thoughts more and laughed loudly: "Shi Qian is so serious. Shu'er is just making a big deal, but she is still... Alas, Shi Qian, don't blame Shu'er for being arrogant."

Chu Sui shook his head and took all the mistakes on him.

The two families forgave each other, Chengenhou talked with his son-in-law, and the women went to the backyard.

Mrs. Chu did not want to offend the Wan family, so she took advantage of her daughter-in-law returning to the boudoir to pack up her things. She whispered to her mother-in-law helplessly: "That Dong family girl was born. Shi Qian gave her a sum of money and broke it. She didn't expect that she would be pregnant with a child? In fact, the sons born to women are at most in the village and will never be brought to the house to raise. But our Chu family..."

Mrs. Cheng'enhou looked at her in surprise, "Do you have any difficulties?"

Mrs. Chu glanced at the door and her voice became even lower, "I will only tell you this, you must not spread it."

Mrs. Cheng'en nodded immediately and repeatedly promised to keep her mouth shut.

Mrs. Chu then sighed, "Do you know that Shijin's wife has difficulty giving birth? Mr. Qiao said, she is afraid she will not be able to give birth in the future... Alas, Shiqian is the only brother in this generation. Shijin has no children, and only Shiqian is left. The lady is worried that the Chu family's descendants are too thin, so she can't bear to leave Run Ge'er, otherwise how could we let Shu'er be wronged?"

Mrs. Cheng'en suddenly realized and her heart suddenly became bright! Lu Mingyu could not give birth, so wouldn't Chu Xing have to adopt a legitimate son from his cousin? In other words, her grandson is very likely to become the next Duke of Chu?
