Chapter 310 A concubine is a concubine, and a bastard is a bastard
Chu Zixi rolled her eyes, revealing a sly look in her eyes, then sighed and said, "Hey! You don't understand! My emperor father is in his prime, but he is all alone. Every caring person is actually quite pitiful. And I don't care about the country of Chu at all. Besides, if I have a child, I will send him to the palace to be raised as soon as he is born. Which parent would be willing to separate their newborn child from themselves?"
She didn't want to lose her freedom, and she didn't want her future children to fall into such a predicament. Her child should be able to choose whether to inherit the Chu Kingdom or not, rather than have his future path determined by others.
Xiaolu heard this and shook her head helplessly, "But Princess, your future children will also be the emperor's grandchildren! There is nothing wrong with the emperor helping you raise your children. If you feel that the children are too young to let go, you can wait until they grow up a little before sending them to the palace!"
Xiao Cui also nodded in agreement, agreeing with Xiao Lu's statement, "Yes, Princess, it's still early for this matter, there's no need to rush to decide now!"
Chu Zixi shook her head and laughed secretly. What happened to her tonight? This behavior was not in line with her usual style. I don't know why she suddenly thought so much tonight!
She smiled to herself, feeling like a fool for saying those words.
After all, it was too early to talk about the future, and everything was full of uncertainty. She decided to put these worries behind her and focus on the present.
"Yeah, it's still early, let's talk about the future later. I'm just telling you all this because I'm bored. Okay, step back and you guys go and have a rest." Chu Zixi said calmly, as if the excitement just now had never happened.
The two answered in unison: "Yes!" They left the room one after another.
Chu Zixi got up, walked to the bed, lay down, closed her eyes, and tried to calm her mind.
Gradually, her breathing became steady and her thoughts drifted away until she fell asleep.
At the same time, there was a completely different scene inside the Qian Mansion.
Qian Youcai widened his eyes and stared with anger at the contract that Qian Duoduo was showing off to him.
He asked in a trembling voice: "Qian Duoduo, are you crazy? Qingyun Mountain? When has there been a Qingyun Mountain in our Chu State?" Qian Youcai was so angry that his face turned pale and his chest heaved violently.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Qian slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Qian Youcai with her eyes wide open and cursed: "Qian Youcai, how dare you rebel! How dare you, a little bastard, yell at my Duoduo?" Her eyes were full of anger and majesty.
Qian Youcai stood aside with a gloomy face. The anger in his eyes had not yet died down. He cursed in his heart, "Idiot."
Mrs. Qian looked at Qian Youcai smugly and said coldly, "Humph, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. This contract was signed by Duoduo himself. Could it be fake?"
Qian Youcai gritted his teeth, his eyes full of disdain, "But... there is no Qingyun Mountain in our Chu State..."
Mrs. Qian interrupted him and sneered, "What do you mean? Maybe you haven't heard of it? What's the matter?"
"I'm all over the Chu State..."
"That's enough!" Mrs. Qian interrupted him. "Duoduo has her own judgment and decision-making ability. Since she signed this contract, it must have its value."
Madam Qian patted Qian Duoduo's shoulder comfortingly, "Duoduo, mother believes in you. He is just jealous that you have made such a big deal. This contract will definitely bring huge benefits to our Qian family."
Qian Duoduo smiled proudly. She knew very well that her mother had always been on her side. She waved the contract in her hand proudly, as if she had already seen the future glory and wealth.
"Haha, wait until I become the richest man in the world, and see who dares to look down on me! Who said you are the only one in our house who can do business? Huh?" Qian Duoduo smiled proudly.
Aunt Mei sneered and said, "Madam, the eldest daughter actually moved all the money from the Imperial City Shop. Was she cheated? She is a girl who has never done business before, but now she wants to go out and do business in public. How can this be tolerated? The master said that business matters should be left to Youcai, but the eldest daughter forcibly moved all the cash from the Imperial City Shop. How can the Imperial City Shop operate normally?"
After hearing this, Qian Duoduo was so angry that he put his hands on his hips and retorted loudly: "What do you know? Princess Meng Ting is involved in this business. This is a big deal!"
Qian Youcai shouted angrily: "Idiot! You fool, there is no Qingyun Mountain in Chu State, and these so-called official seals are all fake!" After that, he snatched the contract from Qian Duoduo's hand and threw it to the ground.
"Impossible!" Qian Duoduo hurriedly picked it up. "How could this seal be fake? Qingyun Mountain, you just haven't heard of it!"
Mrs. Qian strode towards Qian Youcai with a gloomy face. Every step she took carried an invisible pressure that made people shudder.
She walked up to Qian Youcai, and without saying a word, she raised her hand and slapped Qian Youcai hard in the face.
The crisp sound of slaps echoed throughout the hall, and everyone was stunned by this sudden scene.
"Idiot? Huh? You think you can scold my daughter?" Mrs. Qian's eyes were wide open with flames of anger flashing in them, as if she wanted to eat Qian Youcai alive. Her voice was icy cold and chilling.
Qian Youcai covered his beaten face with his hands, his eyes filled with anger.
Aunt Mei, who was standing by, was extremely anxious upon seeing this. She hurriedly took two steps at a time and ran forward eagerly. She carefully supported Qian Youcai and asked with a worried look on her face, "Youcai, are you okay?" She held Qian Youcai's hand tightly, her eyes full of heartache and anxiety.
Qian Youcai’s face was pale, his lips were trembling slightly with anger, and there was a trace of bright red blood at the corner of his mouth.
He frowned, clenched his teeth, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Mom, I'm fine."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Mei breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and glared at Madam Qian fiercely, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
She clenched her fists tightly and questioned Mrs. Qian in a low and angry voice: "Madam, our Youcai is the master's favorite son. He will inherit the Qian family's business in the future. How can you hit him!"
After hearing this, Madam Qian showed a contemptuous smile on her face, snorted coldly, and refuted mercilessly: "He is just a little bastard son, and you, an ungrateful concubine, do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because the master dotes on you? A concubine is a concubine, and a bastard son is a bastard son. I rarely pay attention to you on weekdays, do you really think you can turn the world upside down? The master has more than just Qian Youcai as his son. If I am willing, I can adopt a son as my legitimate son at any time. By then, let's see if you and your son can still be so arrogant and domineering!"
