Chapter 302: Does the mother think her daughter is cruel?
Chapter 302: Does the mother think her daughter is cruel?
No matter how Shi Yunqi tried to persuade them to stay, Shi Chengyi and his family had to move out of the Marquis' Mansion.
After the two elders passed away, the Jian'an Marquis Mansion should have been taken over by Cheng Yi and his generation.
However, Shi Chengyi felt that his abilities were limited, and because Shi Anxin had caused a disaster that almost overthrew the entire Shi family, he asked to be demoted and held back the Marquis's Mansion.
He thought that he was not qualified to be the prince.
Of course, he was not qualified, and it was not the turn of someone as stupid as Shi Chengxuan.
The third and fourth brothers were born out of wedlock and were unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
To put it bluntly, Shi Chengyi was attracted by Shi Yunqi's talent and vision, and felt that he could bring the Jian'an Marquis Mansion to greater glory than himself.
The prosperity of a family cannot be achieved by one person alone, but the person standing at the top must be a capable and visionary person.
If the head of the family is like his father Shi Qingxiang, they will be doomed to decline and fall sooner or later.
When leaving the Marquis' Mansion, Yu Sujun took out another account book and handed over all the rewards that Shi Anxia had received for helping Shi Chengyi with disaster relief and seeking an official position to Shi Yunqi.
This was the first batch of wealth after Shi Yunqi took over the Marquis' Mansion.
Although the imperial gifts cannot be exchanged for silver, the more of these things a family has, the richer their wealth appears.
Tang Chujun frowned, very disapproving, "Why are you moving out? How come this big mansion can't accommodate your family? It's not like Qi'er can't accommodate you."
Yu Sujun said, "Since we are splitting up, we must act like a splitting up family. Sister Chujun, don't worry, from now on, as long as my brother calls us, we will all come back to reunite."
It was she who proposed the division of the family. Now that her third and fourth brothers have moved out, it doesn't make sense for her husband to give the position of crown prince to Qi Ge'er and for the whole family to refuse to leave.
Sometimes people need to have a sense of propriety and boundaries, and also have self-knowledge.
In this way, friends, family and relationships can be maintained for a long time.
Tang Chujun himself was going to move out, so it was difficult to keep him.
Maybe, the world outside is wide and it will be convenient to meet each other.
Yu Sujun smiled and said, "To be honest, I don't miss the old mansion at all. I've long wanted to move out and live alone. But in the current mansion, we all hope that Brother Qi can create a new situation."
Speaking of this, Tang Chujun felt a headache, "You're still creating a new situation! My son got the first place in the imperial examination for nothing, and he didn't even get to take part in the palace examination. Oh! Oh!"
Yu Sujun smiled, "Qi Ge'er is still young, this may not be a bad thing. And I heard that Qi Ge'er is going to be a temporary instructor at Yunqi Academy. Once the news gets out, I think all the noble families are moving."
"You are well-informed." Tang Chujun smiled.
Yu Sujun also laughed, "My son always says 'Brother Yunqi' when he comes home every day, I think it's hard for him not to know. Okay, the house over there is not far away, it's closer to your house than this one."
Tang Chujun was reluctant to leave, "Then it's a deal, you can come to me for tea and a show when you have nothing to do, okay?"
Yu Sujun nodded, "Of course. We are the best in the capital, the best in the world... "
When he finished speaking, he burst into tears.
Tang Chujun took her arm and walked her to the door. "Can you come back and help me with Xia'er and Qi'er's marriage?"
Yu Sujun patted her arm and said, "Look at what you said. Of course I have to come back and take care of it."
Only then did Tang Chujun look contentedly at Shi Chengyi and Yu Sujun's family's carriage driving away.
The carriage went farther and farther away, until it could no longer be seen.
Tang Chujun was still looking at the road in the distance. She felt that this gaze was like she had been looking at it for half her life.
The once empty heart is now filled.
She got divorced, but she didn't feel lost like other women. Instead, she seemed to have gained a new life.
Yes, it’s a new life.
This time in her life, there would be no Shi Chengyi. She had completely regarded him as the children's great uncle, and there would be no more troubles.
When I saw him, there was no ripple in my heart.
Tang Chujun's own house is also being decorated. She will move in after her children get married.
It's okay when I'm busy, but when I'm free, I always think of Yu Sujun chattering behind me every day.
She was clearly the mother of the children and had clearly been the mistress of the household, yet in front of her, she was still as sincere as she was in her childhood.
Tang Chujun has been feeling a little sad lately.
Shi Anxia was worried that she would become sad and unhappy again, so she came over to accompany her.
The mother and daughter talked about everything, and the topic they talked about the most was "Cen Yuan".
Shi Anxia did not dare to tell her mother the truth that Cen Yuan was Emperor Heng of Liang, for fear that her mother would faint after hearing it.
It can be hidden for a while.
In the end, the topic somehow turned to the deceased Shi Yunxing.
Tang Chujun hesitated for a while, then lowered her head and said, "Xia'er, mother has something to talk to you about."
Shi Anxia looked at her gently, "Mother, please tell me."
"Don't blame me." Tang Chujun's eyes were filled with tears as soon as he opened his mouth.
Shi Anxia looked at her mother and figured it out. "Is it because mother burned paper for Shi Yunxing?"
Tang Chujun was stunned, "Did you see it?"
Shi Anxia poured a cup of hot tea for her mother, placed it in her hand, and then nodded gently.
Tang Chujun burst into tears, "I'm sorry, Xia'er, did I hurt your heart?"
Shi Anxia shook her head. "It's true that Shi Yunxing is a bad boy, but no matter how bad he is, he is still the child you raised for sixteen years. Even if you hate him or are angry about it, as a mother, you will never hold grudges against your dead son."
Tang Chujun silently shed tears, "In those years, I didn't discipline him much. Even when he was a child, he wanted to get close to me, but I always rejected him because of your father and grandmother. So he didn't get much love from me when he was young."
"Mother, do you blame me for being too ruthless?" Shi Anxia raised her eyes and asked, "I removed his mourning hall, dismantled his coffin, and threw his body into a mass grave. Does mother think her daughter is cruel?"
Tang Chujun's heart trembled.
This was the first time she and her daughter had discussed this topic so seriously.
She said seriously, "My Xia'er has a stand and principles in what he does, and he will take revenge if he has a grudge. Although I miss him sometimes, I will never blame you because of him. I can tell that only you and Qi'er are my children."
Shi Anxia's eyebrows slightly curved, "That's good. A mother has her own position, and a daughter has her own position. So mother doesn't need to blame herself."
I killed Shi Yunxing! The words almost came out of Shi Anxia's mouth, but they rolled around and she swallowed them back.
The truth is actually not important, so why bother yourself? Sometimes it is okay to be confused.
The mother and daughter became closer because of this topic.
Just at this time, Aunt Han came.
Aunt Han is getting better these days. Especially now that the weather is warmer, she coughs less and her face is rosier.
When she came in, she still greeted according to the etiquette for the principal wife, and Tang Chujun slightly turned sideways.
"Get up." Tang Chujun said, "Your Second Master and I have already divorced. You don't have to perform such a grand ceremony to me in the future."
Aunt Han knelt on the ground and refused to get up. "Madam, you have been so kind to me and my son. I will never forget it."
Tang Chujun winked.
Nanny Zhong went over and helped her up.
Tang Chujun asked, "Are you here today because you don't want to go back to Ganzhou with the Second Master?"
