Chapter 80

In the evening, Chen Jin told Chu Xiuming about this and said, "I think this younger brother is a little stupid."

Chu Xiuming said after hearing this, "Not everyone is as smart as my wife."

"That's right." Chen Jin said with satisfaction.

Chu Xiuming said, "By the way, you can go to the conference hall with me tomorrow."

Chen Jin supported himself and looked at Chu Xiuming in confusion and said, "Why?"

Chu Xiuming hugged Chen Jin back in his arms, "I'm going to take my brother away for a while."

"Is it very far?" Chen Jin asked with a frown.

Chu Xiuming gently touched her back, "I'm not sure."

Chen Jin frowned and said nothing. Chu Xiuming continued, "I want to hand over the border town affairs to you."

"There are General Manager Wang and Manager Zhao here." Chen Jin was a little unhappy. This responsibility was too heavy. "I still have to take care of the Dongdong."

"Take me with you." Chu Xiuming said warmly.

Chen Jin bulged his cheeks and didn't say anything. Chu Xiuming was not angry or disappointed, because he knew that just like in the capital, Chen Jin had enough ability to protect himself and his children without him. However, Chu Xiuming knew that Chen Jin did not like to do this. If it were possible, Chu Xiuming would not want his wife to carry these things. As long as he was spoiled and kept, it would be fine. But Chu Xiuming didn't know that things in the world were impermanent...

Just like what happened back then, Chu Xiuming was also a personal person. He could not do anything like being invincible and defeating. There were countless accidents on the battlefield. Chu Xiuming just wanted to work hard to provide more protection for Chen Jin and his children. Even if he had an accident, Chen Jin and Dongdong could survive well.

Chen Jin moved his lips and grabbed Chu Xiuming's finger and bitten it, saying, "Where are you going?"

Chu Xiuming's voice was a little low, "There is indeed a prince of the Ying Dynasty behind the scenes in Shu."

Chen Jin lay on Chu Xiuming. Because Dongdong didn't sleep with them, there was ice in the corner, so it would not make people feel hot. Chu Xiuming hugged Chen Jin and made her feel more comfortable before saying, "The Prince of Ying has been lurking for more than 20 years. During this period, Tianqi has not been stable, but the Prince of Ying has been hiding and not taking action. How could he choose to interfere in the matter in Shuzhong now?"

"Because he is ready." Chen Jin also understood what Chu Xiuming meant.

Chu Xiuming responded, "For the sake of the throne, the King of England could secretly unite with the barbarians and sell the Apocalypse Frontier to the barbarians, so that..."

Chen Jin heard about what happened from Chu Xiuming for the first time. In order to drive out the barbarians, so many people died. The body of Chu Xiuming's elder brother has not been retrieved yet. Only the tombs left here are left.

"Did you say you wanted to take me to Jiangnan because you found something?" Chen Jin suddenly thought of the decision that Chu Xiuming had made after they had just finished the trade.

Chu Xiuming responded and said, "I suspect that the prince of the British is also in contact with the barbarians."

"Are you going to take people by yourself?" Chen Jin pursed his lower lips and said. Taking Chu Xiu far away to patrol the border was just Chu Xiuming's excuse, because he knew that General Manager Wang and the others would not agree, but whether it was because of national hatred or family hatred, there was a situation between Chu Xiuming and the King of Ying.

Chu Xiuming did not deny it, "My wife is indeed extremely intelligent."

Chen Jin felt aching in his heart, and lowered his head and bit Chu Xiuming's shoulder hard. Chu Xiuming had no intention of blocking it at all, and he also relaxed the muscles of his shoulders to prevent Chen Jin from having a toothache for a while. He gently stroked Chen Jin's back with his hand and said calmly, "I will come back."

In fact, what Chen Jin wanted to hear was not this sentence. He wanted to let Chu Xiuming send someone else, but he also understood that the most suitable person in the border town was Chu Xiuming.

No wonder Emperor Cheng asked Chu Xiuming to come back when he knew that the prince of the King of England had colluded with the barbarians. Because Emperor Cheng was confident, there was an endless relationship between the Chu family and the King of England. The entire frontier defenders were like this for the King of England. He was waiting for the benefit of the fisherman with his left hand.

"Emperor Cheng's plan..." Chu Xiuming's voice was gentle, "but it would also make it easier for us to act in the future."

Chen Jin looked at Chu Xiuming in confusion. She didn't believe that Chu Xiuming was willing to join forces with the Prince of Ying, and it was even more impossible to cooperate with the barbarians. Then she could only follow the wishes of Emperor Cheng? If this was true, Chu Xiuming wouldn't be able to go out alone. Chen Jin could not think of Chu Xiuming's intention for a moment. Chu Xiuming spoke, "What we have to do now is wait."

If he couldn't guess it, Chen Jin asked directly, "Where are you going?"

"Civil City." Chu Xiuming spoke.

Chen Jin frowned and said, "Are you going to find something?"

"Yeah." Chu Xiuming did not deny it, "Do you still remember what Princess Rui said to you?"

"It's dark under the light?" Chen Jin thought for a while and said.

Chu Xiuming responded. Chen Jin felt that it would be very important to let Chu Xiuming take such a risk and choose to go to the capital under such circumstances, which would be a very important thing, even about the situation in the future.

Chen Jin came down from Chu Xiuming, pillowed on his arm, grabbed his finger with the other hand and remembered, was it the real decree of the late emperor?

If the Prince of Ying wants to ascend the throne, he may have to fight all the way to the capital and drive Emperor Cheng off the throne. At this time, Emperor Cheng will... let Chu Xiuming deal with Prince Ying? Chu Xiuming will not be willing to be the knife in Emperor Cheng's hand. Even if he wants to destroy Prince Ying, Chu Xiuming will not let Emperor Cheng be the one who is the yellow bird.

In fact, Chen Jin was a little confused. According to what Princess Rui and Chu Xiuming told her, if there was really a prince orphan, he would probably be quite old. According to Chu Xiuming's temperament, he would keep important people around him and arrange them properly and would not hide people from afar, because there is no way to control this.

There is also Mama Zhao and Manager Zhao…

"What's the surname of the Crown Princess?" Chen Jin suddenly asked.

Chu Xiuming spoke, "Zhao."

Chen Jin was stunned, "Apart from Madam Zhao, what else does Zhao have?"

"A lot." Chu Xiu knew that his wife had guessed it, so he said, "It's not only around us."

Chen Jin thought for a while and nodded, "I understand."

In addition to his son, he also has a grandson. If this is the case, Chu Xiuyuan's age will be matched.

"Do you know?" Chu Xiuming asked.

Chen Jin thought about it before saying, "You want it."

Before, Chen Jin didn't ask, but because she knew that it would be even more troublesome to ask. After all, neither Chu Xiuming nor Zhao Ma Ma were hiding it. It was just like Zhao Ma Ma's cautiousness and uneasy attitude in the capital. Now that Chu Xiuming is willing to entrust her to the border town affairs, Chen Jin must ask these things.

"The late emperor married the prince's concubine Zhao and the concubine Chu." Chu Xiuming told the story of this almost dusty past.

Chen Jin said, "Can't it be the direct descendant of the Chu family?"

"Yeah." Chu Xiuming spoke.

Chen Jin stopped talking and listened to Chu Xiuming telling the matter. In fact, Chu Xiuming didn't know much. After all, this was not something he had experienced. After Chu Xiuming finished speaking, Chen Jin said, "That is to say, the prince's concubine was pregnant at the time, so a certain elder in the family happened to visit the capital because he had a good relationship with the concubine. Then he went to visit the capital... Then the matter of King Ying was involved, and he stayed in the capital for safety. This son had a son and a daughter, and the second son of the prince's concubine was about the same age as the second son, and finally exchanged his son for the prince's second son?"

"Yeah." Chu Xiuming said.

Chen Jin frowned. Maybe because she had never contacted the prince and the princess. Although she knew that this person did nothing wrong, what if it was her own? Will she use Dongdong's life to do this? No, if she sacrificed herself, then Chen Jin would not hesitate, but the sacrificed her son, which made Chen Jin unable to accept it.

In fact, Chen Jin didn't like Chu Xiuming's elder. She made a choice, but it was her child who was responsible for the consequences. Did that boy have a choice at the beginning?

Chu Xiuming continued, "At that time, Emperor Cheng had just registered. The Chu family was seriously injured due to the collusion between King Ying and barbarians, so they kept hiding outside. The second son of the prince was in poor health because of the original incident."

"He married the daughter of your elder, that is, the aunt?" Chen Jin asked.

"Yeah." Chu Xiuming was very calm when he mentioned these things, and even felt a little indifferent.

Chen Jin understood everything at this time and also confirmed Chu Xiuyuan's identity. He was indeed Chu Xiuming's cousin, but this cousin's life experience was a bit bumpy. "Does Xiuyuan know?"

"I know." Chu Xiuming said, "We have never hidden it from him."

Chen Jin nodded and replied. In fact, there were many things Chu Xiuming didn't say, maybe he didn't know, for example, what happened to the elder's husband? Is there anything else in the matter in the first place except for the sudden changes in the Prince's Mansion? At that time, the second son of the prince was not old, but he was facing the life of the whole family and hiding everywhere. Did the elder regret it later?

Chu Xiuming noticed Chen Jin's silence, lowered his head and kissed her hair gently and said, "I won't treat you mother and son like this."

Chen Jin pursed his lips and shook his head without saying anything.

"No one can force others to sacrifice." Chu Xiuming's voice was very stable, but it made people feel very credible.

Chen Jin responded, in fact, it is really hard to say that this matter is right or wrong. Is Chu Xiuming's elder wrong? In fact, her choice is not wrong, but because she has something, she is unable to accept it. After thinking about it, Chen Jin stood up and said, "I'll go and see the things."

"I'll go with you." Chu Xiuming got up first, took his coat and put it on Chen Jin, and then went to the room next to her. An Ning was guarding Dongdong's bed. In addition, there was a wet nurse ready to take care of Dongdong at all times. When they saw Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin, they were both stunned.

Chen Jin said, "It's okay, you guys go down."

"Yes." An Ning responded respectfully, "half an hour ago, the young master just woke up and used milk."

"I understand." Chen Jin said with a smile.

An Ning and the wet nurse left without saying anything else.

Dongdong's daily routine was well maintained. He was sleeping soundly at this time. His little face was flushing and he clenched his fists. He didn't know if it was a dream or something. His little feet in socks slammed his mouth a few times.

Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin looked at Dongdong and suddenly spoke, "Actually, before Dongdong was there, I didn't think there was anything wrong with doing that."

Chen Jin nodded. The Chu family has always guarded the frontier of Tianqi and loyal to the emperor and the people. It is not surprising that they think so. In fact, it is true that Chen Jin feels that the most important thing in the center of his eyes is his own small family. Maybe he has been in contact with different contacts. Just like Chen Jin, who just married to the border city, had no way of thinking that one day she would stand on the city wall and face those ferocious barbarians, and were splattered on her body by blood.

"What are you looking for in the capital?" Chen Jin suddenly asked.

Chu Xiuming was stunned for a moment before whispering a few words in Shen Jin's ear. Chen Jin's face changed and he nodded slowly, stopping asking anything.

The two of them didn't stay for too long. After Chen Jin tucked the quilt for Dongdong, he left with Chu Xiuming, and An Ning and the wet nurse went back to take care of him.

The next day, Chen Jin was holding Dongdong and following Chu Xiuming to the conference hall. At this time, Chu Xiuyuan, General Manager Wang and Manager Zhao and others arrived. There were also some people who were not familiar with Chen Jin. When they saw Chu Xiuming's family of three coming, except for General Manager Wang and Manager Zhao who had already known each other, even Chu Xiuyuan looked at Chu Xiuming with some confusion.

Chu Xiuming asked someone to set up a seat beside him. He first helped Chen Jin to sit down, then sat down next to Shen Jin, looked at everyone and said, "Sit."

"Yes." Chu Xiuyuan would not question Chu Xiuming's decision and took the lead in sitting down in the position, and the remaining people sat down in sequence according to their identities.

Dongdong was awake, but he didn't cry. Many people here had never seen Dongdong, and they were also a little curious at this time. Only Chu Xiuyuan hid behind and hid. Sure enough, Chen Jin was staring at him, "Sister-in-law..." Chu Xiuyuan shouted with little confidence.

Chen Jin held the child with one hand and waved to Chu Xiuyuan with the other. Chu Xiuyuan looked at Chu Xiuming and saw Chu Xiuming narrow his eyes. Chu Xiuyuan did not dare to resist and obediently stepped forward and took Dongdong from Chen Jin's arms, then held it back to his seat.

As soon as there was time during this period, Chen Jin asked Chu Xiuyuan to hold Dongdong. Chu Xiuyuan became much more skilled in holding the child. He would not be as nervous as the first time he saw Dongdong. In fact, Chu Xiuyuan also liked this nephew very much. Dongdong bit his fist and looked at Chu Xiuyuan innocently. It was the first time that Manager Wang, who was sitting next to Chu Xiuyuan, saw Dongdong. It was inevitable that he was curious and looked over. Dongdong didn't cry, "Yaah."

Manager Wang now only had one arm left, and reached out to touch Dongdong's little hand, "Yaah!"

Because of Dongdong's appearance, the stalemate atmosphere just now eased a lot because of Chen Jin's arrival. Chen Jin was not prepared to let Chu Xiuyuan hold the child like this. When Chu Xiuming and the others started to talk about the serious matter, they asked Madam Zhao to take Dongdong from Chu Xiuyuan and hold it in her arms and listen to them.

Chen Jin was first exposed to such things, but he actually didn't understand many things, such as the reserve and mobilization of grain and grass, as well as taxes and other things... Chen Jin was confused when he heard it, but he didn't interrupt and asked.

After listening for a while, Chen Jin felt a little drowsy. Dongdong even yawned and fell asleep comfortably in Shen Jin's arms. Chen Jin was full of jealousy, and she wanted to sleep too.

Chen Jin felt that he had finally reached the end of the meeting, so he went back to feed Dongdong and handed Dongdong to the nurse to take care of him. Then he changed his clothes and went back to the dining room. Chu Xiuming and Chu Xiuyuan had arrived. After Chen Jin arrived, the maid started serving the dishes.

Chu Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is such a skill."
