Chapter 507: Attack
Lord Chu frowned and glanced at Rong Zhao. Rong Zhao in front of him had delicate makeup, pearls and jade all over her head, a scarlet plum blossom on her forehead, and a close-fitting smoky red brocade fur coat and a red satin pleated skirt embroidered with phoenix tail flowers. Today, she should have dressed up carefully.
However, no matter how thick her makeup was, it could not hide her rapidly aging face. At this moment, her eyes no longer had the original willfulness and publicity, but instead, there was panic, suppressed cruelty, and - unwilling humiliation.
Yes, no matter how unbearable she was, she was the eldest daughter of the emperor and a princess who had been proud for decades. She was so reluctant to say those words to a man who was under her skirt.
Lord Chu frowned even more and pulled the corner of his mouth sarcastically. Said, "Rong Zhao, it's hard for you to say these things to me. You and the rebels plotted against me, and separated my family. You made a big mistake, but the victims were me, my wife, and my children. Tell me, can we still live a good life? Can I still be with you..." Lord Chu paused, thinking of the unbearable things he had to do in the past, and clenched his fists, saying, "Have a child with you? Rong Zhao, you are a woman, you should have some sense of shame. Don't deceive yourself anymore, when have we ever been sweet?"
These words were so heartbreaking that Rong Zhao almost vomited blood, especially the last sentence, which made her feel ashamed and angry, and she felt ashamed, and her hand holding the handkerchief was shaking. She pointed at Lord Chu and cursed, "Chu Guangche, you bastard, you..."
Before she finished speaking, she felt anxious again. The method she had thought about for so long could not be ruined by her anger. She wanted to show weakness, to win back his heart, and let him come forward to protect her. If he showed up, maybe he would be more useful in the eyes of the prince than her mother. Although he had to be her consort, they had slept in the same bed for so many years. She was a noble princess, and if she humbled herself, she could still soften his heart.
She quickly stopped the topic, stepped forward and pulled the sleeve of Lord Chu, and said softly with tears in her eyes, "Chu Lang, in your heart, the past years may not be sweet, but in my heart, those days are the time that I will never forget in this life. Chu Lang, yes, it's my fault. I wronged your family in the past few years, and I am very sorry. From now on, I am no longer a high-ranking princess, but just the daughter-in-law of your Chu family. I will treat your family as my family, your children as my children, and your grandchildren as my grandchildren... Is that okay?"
Lord Chu struggled a few times, but his sleeves didn't get free, so he raised his voice and said "Do you think it's possible? Have you forgotten what you did to my family? For your own selfish desires, you forcibly seized someone else's husband, drove his wife to a nunnery, sent a pair of children to the border, killed a woman, and made a child crazy. Rong Zhao, tell me how many evils you have done. Even if you want to treat them as family, can they still treat you as family? Can a "sorry" from you erase the evil you have done? Also, I am a human being, not a puppet without thoughts. Don't mention the things in the past. I'm disgusting." Rong Zhao listened to the words of Lord Chu, and became more and more frightened and scared. The man in front of her really got out of her palm and was really no longer afraid of her, the princess. She cried, "Chu Lang, I am also your family. I have been your woman for twelve years. We have had so many good times together..." Lord Chu looked at Rong Zhao, whose face was covered with tears, and didn't want to listen to her anymore. She was his woman for twelve years, but those twelve years were the most humiliating days of his life, and he didn't want to think about it at all. He said in a cold voice, "Rong Zhao, I always thought you were a proud woman who would rather be hated than looked down upon. Just save some face for yourself, so that, although I hate you, I will not look down upon you... Let's keep our distance in this mansion."
After saying that, he struggled with his sleeves again, and with a "wow" sound, his sleeves were torn. He didn't look at how angry Rong Zhao was, and walked out of the room directly.
There was a "wow" sound of smashing vases behind him, as well as Rong Zhao's loud crying and cursing, "Chu Guangche, damn it, why don't you die, I'm like this, what else do you want..."
As soon as Lord Chu walked out of the room, two maids stepped forward to block his way and said, "My husband, you are a minister, you can't treat Her Highness the Princess like this."
Lord Chu looked at them coldly and squeezed out a word, "Get out!"
The two maids were so scared when they saw the husband who seemed to be going to kill someone that they quickly dodged.
Lord Chu walked slowly and calmly, and the figure of another woman appeared in front of him. As beautiful as a crabapple flower, as peaceful as the bright moon, even if she became a nun, even if her youth had passed, she was still proud and dazzling...
On the 20th, the Chu family invited relatives and friends in the capital, as well as some families who sent gifts. Including some famous families such as the Rui Palace, Xie Palace, Jiang Palace, Zhu Palace, Yang Palace, and Zhang Palace, as well as the Chen family, the He family, the Yang family, as well as Chen Ayu and his future in-laws, the Mao family, and other in-laws.
Princess Rong Zhao was also invited. The reason for inviting her was that she knew she would definitely not dare to come. Now, she was afraid that the "Bird Fairy" would attack her, and she didn't even dare to go out of the door.
Of course, Chen Afu only knew that Rong Zhao was afraid of the "Bird Fairy", but she didn't know that the suppressed Lord Chu finally raised his eyebrows and hit Rong Zhao's confidence and face hard, making her feel ashamed and angry, and she wanted to die. For a long time afterwards, she didn't dare to face Lord Chu again.
The Marquis of Chu is also back today. He, the second master, the third master Chu Ling'an, the fourth master Chu Lingwei, and the fifth master Chu Lingzhi are entertaining the male guests in the front yard. Chen Afu, the third wife, Chu Hanyan, and Chu Zhen were entertaining the female guests. This time, they very domineeringly excluded Ms. Li from the reception staff and asked her to come out during the meal. Mrs. Li was so angry that she smashed several worthless cups and did not dare to file a complaint. It would be useless to do so.
Princess Rui led Xiao Li Xuan to come earlier. Li Xuan was dressed very grandly today, wearing a bright red embroidered knee-length robe, moon-white trousers, a jade belt around his waist, a small red melon-skin hat and a seven-treasure necklace. Dressed up like this, the little guy looks even more beautiful with white teeth and red lips.
Chen Afu smiled, bent down and pinched his little face, and said, "Xuan'er looks really good today." Then he invited the mother and son into the living room.
Li Xuan still wanted to talk to Chen Afu, but Princess Rui forced him into the living room and sat down next to the third lady to laugh.
The third lady also smiled heartily and said, "Hey, Xuan'er is so beautiful today. She looks like she is going to meet her father-in-law and mother-in-law."
