In ancient times, women weren't that close to their relatives, especially aristocratic families. They had a lot of servants. The original owner had been in the palace for so long and experienced such a great change. Now that she was praised by the Duke of Qin, it was very easy to understand her change in personality. The Chu family didn't realize that Chu Xiang's body had changed. Instead, they were happy that their family could be reunited safely.
The eldest brother changed his name to Chu Wenyuan. After this incident, he became a lot more serious. His entire person was calm and had a kind of silent ruthlessness. He solemnly said to Chu Xiang, "It was all thanks to younger sister that we were saved this time. I already know what happened in the capital. You have been wronged. "
Chu Xiang stared at him for a while, "Eldest brother, you don't blame me? If it wasn't for me not being strict enough and suffering losses and being banished to the cold palace by the emperor, you wouldn't have been imprisoned and eldest sister-in-law wouldn't have died … "
Chu Wenyuan raised his hand to indicate for her to stop. He seriously said, "This matter was the fault of an incapable ruler. Our Chu family is loyal to the ruler and loves the country, but we never flatter anyone. When we encounter something we don't agree with, we always remain silent. This made the emperor very unhappy. We already expected that he would make a move on the Chu family. Your eldest sister-in-law accidentally got sick and passed away. No one is to blame. Younger sister, you don't need to worry about this matter. "
The second brother, Chu Wensong, slowly fanned himself and said, "Younger sister, father had already arranged a way out for our family in the early years. When we arrived at the place of exile, there would be people to replace us. From then on, the Chu family would change their names and live as ordinary people. It was very difficult for you to escape from the palace. Moreover, the incident happened so suddenly that father only had time to arrange for people to set the palace on fire to save you. After we were rescued by the Duke of Qin, we found out that the people father arranged had accidentally angered Imperial Concubine Hui and were beaten to death. We didn't have the chance to save you and caused you to suffer a lot. Now that our family is reunited and the Duke of Qin is a lord worthy of our support, we will definitely fight for a place by the Duke of Qin's side. Younger sister, you can sit firmly on the position of Qin Wangfei. In the future, when you ascend to the position of empress, we will wipe away our previous shame. "
In ancient times, families were bound together for good or ill. From their attitude, Chu Xiang could see that the Chu family was very harmonious. They were able to let go and stand up. Moreover, they were very supportive of her.
Chu Xiang's' thought for a moment and then said, "The Duke of Qin and I are fake husband."
These words were like a clap of thunder, shocking the Chu family's father and brothers into a daze. Chu Yi Ru frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Chu Xiang stood up and walked a few steps in front of them like a man. She looked back at them and said, "I am Lin Mu. I work for the King of Qin in secret. At that time, the Duke of Qin and I met by a freak combination of factors. I used my father and brother as bait, using him to save us from the capital. Later, he found out that I had unexpectedly become Qin Wangfei, so he beat me at my own game. I helped him spread the name of being henpecked and hedonistic, and I took care of the inner residence. He protected me from being bullied, and I disguised myself as a man to do business and amass wealth. I haven't been kept in a golden house for the past few months. I've just arrived from the capital by land. "
"You! You're too bold! "Chu Yi Ru looked at her in shock," What do you plan to do in the future? Continue to be Lin Mu? Your two elder brothers and I will do our best to assist Qin Wang. You should sit firmly on the position of Qin Wangfei. In the future … "
"In the future?" Chu Xiang didn't avoid his gaze, "Father, you want me to be like the current Empress, relying on my father and brother's position in the court to sit firmly on the Empress' throne? Then what's the difference between me and a plant for the rest of my life? "
"The Duke of Qin dotes on you … but that's not a matter of doting. Xiang 'er, you are a woman. Dressing as a man to do business is not a long-term solution. If people find out, how will the world see you? If something goes wrong, will the Duke of Qin tolerate you? Father knows that after this matter, your heart will not be at ease. But you have already suffered greatly. In the future, your father and brother will protect you. When you ascend to the Empress position and give birth to a legitimate son, father will help him ascend the throne. At that time, no one will be able to disrespect you. "
Chu Xiang smiled and sat down. She shook her head, "Father, I know my actions are out of line. No woman would do what I did. But … "She raised her head and looked into Chu Yi Ru's eyes," Before, I was a favored concubine in the palace. Father, you were the Prime Minister. So what? With a single word from an incapable ruler, what would happen to us? I will never let others control my fate again. Not only do I want to do business, I want to become the number one merchant. I want to be so strong that even the Emperor won't dare to touch me. Moreover, I and the Duke of Qin are fake husband and wife. When he ascends the throne, I will retire. At that time, I will be able to go wherever I want and do whatever I want. This is the life I want. "
Chu Yi Ru was born and raised in ancient times. He couldn't understand Chu Xiang's pursuit. For him, wasn't the greatest fortune for a woman to ascend to the Empress position and become the Empress Dowager? She wanted to become the number one merchant? Even the current number one merchant was nothing in the eyes of the Imperial Court. Chu Xiang wanted to do something that no one had ever done before. It was simply a fantasy!
However, he didn't refute it. Instead, he seriously thought about it. If his daughter couldn't achieve anything and didn't want to enter the palace, how could she withdraw? He couldn't stop his daughter's actions. The only thing he could do was protect her.
Chu Wensong thought more clearly. He waved his fan and said with a smile, "If it weren't for younger sister, our Chu family would have already retired to the mountains. Father, eldest brother, we don't want glory and wealth. We only want the family to be safe. Since younger sister doesn't want to enter the palace, why don't we help her? It's very troublesome for her to do business alone. Let me help her. "
Chu Xiang cupped her hands like a man and said with a smile, "Thank you, second brother, but I don't need you to help me. The property that Lin Mu brought is enough to prove my strength. The people that the Prince gave me are also useful. They have all been subdued by me. You don't need to worry. As for your side, I have some ideas. "
Chu Wenyuan said, "You."
"The Duke of Qin has been pretending to be crazy for so many years. It's not easy for him to openly recruit capable people. Father, with your ability, you are enough to be his number one strategist. Moreover, you have many years of connections in the capital. Eldest brother is good at the art of war, and second brother is good at politics. It just so happens that one of you is good at martial arts and the other is good at civil affairs. As for me, I will become the Duke of Qin's money bag. In the future, our Chu family will be a great contributor to the Duke of Qin's throne. At that time, father will live a comfortable life. I will fake my death and live a carefree life. Eldest brother and second brother can become the Duke of Qin's important officials without being suspected. This is the best development for the Chu family. "
Chu Yi Ru and his two sons exchanged a look. Chu Yi Ru narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you think?"
The Chu family has always been in the core position of power. Naturally, they have ambitions. Chu Xiang drew a very beautiful blueprint for them. The two brothers agreed without hesitation. Who doesn't want to achieve great things in troubled times? Moreover, even their younger sister has high ambitions. How can they, as brothers, relax?
The four of them talked in the study until dusk. Chu Xiang has been running around for the past few months. She has completely understood the situation of this dynasty. She has even seen two rebel armies. When she is angry, she is not inferior to the three men.
However, the four of them have their own strengths. Chu Xiang is smooth and slick, and she is best at opportunism. Chu Yi Ru is astute, Chu Wensong is quick-witted, and Chu Wenyuan has a deep understanding of the art of war. Chu Xiang only spent an afternoon with them. She decided to steal more from them in the future. This way, the next time she transmigrates to ancient times, she will have other skills that she can use. She won't be limited to business. It is too difficult to make a name for yourself in ancient times. It is better not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.
Chu Xiang and the Chu family have reached a consensus. She is in a very good mood. It is best to have a family that won't drag you down. Otherwise, you will have to find a way to get rid of them if you meet someone of the highest quality.
Qin Wangfei finally showed up. Every day, people would ask to see her for various reasons. Li Bohan also gave Chu Xiang the power that Imperial Concubine Yu had. Chu Xiang had to familiarize herself with the Qin palace, subdue the servants, and take over all the affairs. She suddenly became busy.
Taking care of the Qin palace was not an easy task, but in the end, it was still a matter of the inner residence. Chu Xiang didn't want to waste too much time on it, so she began to cultivate Zi Yu. Zi Yu was absolutely loyal to her. Except for not being so clever, it could do everything well. Soon, it became the most useful person by Chu Xiang's side.
Imperial Concubine Yu originally wanted to make trouble for Chu Xiang in the palace affairs. Who knew that every time, Chu Xiang would quietly resolve it and take the opportunity to get rid of a few of her people. Seeing that Chu Xiang had smoothly taken over the Qin palace, Imperial Concubine Yu began to make things difficult for Chu Xiang. The first time, Chu Xiang didn't argue with her. The second time, Chu Xiang asked someone to find Li Bohan to support her. By the third time, Chu Xiang directly found an excuse not to come.
Chu Xiang was now Li Bohan's favorite person. Even Imperial Concubine Yu had to avoid her sharp edge. She couldn't do anything to her and even angered herself half to death.
This time, Imperial Concubine Yu carefully selected two beautiful palace maids and said to Chu Xiang: "You are busy with the palace affairs on weekdays. I'm afraid you will neglect Han 'er. These two are careful and proper. Take them back and let them serve Han 'er well. "
Imperial Concubine Yu deliberately chose to do this when she was admiring the flowers with several officials' womenfolk so that Chu Xiang couldn't refuse and stop Li Bohan from taking a concubine. She calmly waited for Chu Xiang to accept it and waited to see Chu Xiang's aggrieved expression.
However, Chu Xiang didn't even look at the two palace maids and refused: "I'm afraid this concubine can't do as mufei wishes. Wangye has already promised this concubine that he doesn't need palace maids to serve him. All the palace maids around him are replaced by internal servants."
Imperial Concubine Yu showed displeasure: "What do you mean? Do you really want to be a jealous woman? "
"Why not?" Chu Xiang smiled and said, "Mufei, this concubine won't force it. It's just that this concubine can't ruin Wangye's sincerity. If mufei insists on sending the palace maids over, this concubine is afraid that Wangye will be angry and ruin their lives. I hope mufei will think twice. "
Imperial Concubine Yu was so angry that she slammed the table: "Madam Chu! How dare you! "
Chu Xiang said in surprise: "Mufei, where do these words come from? This concubine is just telling the truth. Otherwise, mufei will personally send them to Wangye. If Wangye accepts, this concubine will have no objections. "
Imperial Concubine Yu's face turned green and white. She felt particularly embarrassed in front of everyone: "You! You are used to using flowery words to confuse Han 'er. Don't forget your identity. What qualifications do you have to stop Han' er from taking a concubine? This concubine has never seen such a shameless person like you who can't tell good from bad! "
Chu Xiang broke a flower bud and crushed it with her fingertips. She got up and looked at Imperial Concubine Yu: "Since mufei doesn't like it, this concubine won't be an eyesore here. Mufei's health isn't good, so don't disturb mufei. Let mufei go back and rest early. "
The womenfolk of several officials hurriedly stood up. They couldn't afford to offend anyone, so they didn't dare to leave or stay. It was very difficult.
When Imperial Concubine Yu saw this, she pointed at Chu Xiang and scolded angrily: "Demon concubine! You are a demon concubine! "
Chu Xiang directly took her people and left. She slightly curved her lips and was very satisfied with the new title she got. She must have exceeded Li Bohan's expectations by a lot, right?
