Chapter 179: The Return of Autumn Yanfu

Han Jianming pondered for a long time before he said: "Let me think about this matter again." Obtaining the title without going through the normal procedures is easy to attract criticism, so he has no way to give Yuxi a definite answer. It's also fortunate that no one in the Duke's Mansion competed with him for the title, otherwise this matter would be known by the opponent, and he would not be able to turn around.

Knowing Han Jianming's concerns, Yu Xi said, "Brother, seizing the title will definitely affect you. The best way is to let dad give up the title himself." It's always ugly for a son to steal from my father. But if the Duke of the country voluntarily surrenders the title, no one will talk about it.

Han Jianming asked, "What can you do?" It would be the best if the Duke's mansion could voluntarily surrender the title. But this matter is not so easy.

Yuxi shook her head and said, "No. I don't have much contact with Dad, and I don't know his preferences, let alone his weaknesses." This means that Han Jianming, a son, must know Han Jingdong's preferences and weaknesses. .

Han Jianming shook his head helplessly and said, "Just tell me that, and you must never think about it when you come to the Chen family." He didn't want Yuxi to encourage Chen Ran to fight for the title.

Yuxi smiled and said, "I'm not that stupid." Not to mention that she was not interested in the position of Mrs. Taining Hou, even if she was, she would not tell Chen Ran. How stupid would you tell your husband about this kind of provoking brotherhood.

Han Jianming just reminded Yuxi: "Go back!"

After Yuxi left, Han Jianming called Mr. Zhao to discuss with Mr. Zhao the feasibility of Yuxi's proposal just now.

Mr. Zhao naturally felt that Yu Xi had a good idea. Although Han Jianming is the real head of the Duke's Mansion, the head of the family is still the Duke in name. It would be much more convenient for Han Jianming to take over the title: "My lord, it will only benefit us and not harm us if the Duke of the country can make the title." This kind of proposal can only be made by a family like the fourth girl. As an outsider, even if he has the heart, he doesn't have the guts to say it.

Han Jianming also felt that Yuxi's suggestion was very good, but it was very difficult to implement it. After all, it is not that easy to let Han Jingdong automatically surrender the title.

Mr. Zhao felt that he could give it a try. Anyway, even if he failed, it would have no effect on Han Jianming's status. Duke Guo only has two sons, and Han Jianye will definitely not compete with his elder brother for the title, so even if Han Jianming did something wrong, this position is appropriate. The only thing to keep in mind is keeping it secret. Once this news gets out, it will be bad for Han Jianming's reputation.

Han Jianming nodded, and discussed with Mr. Zhao for a long time, but in the end they couldn't come up with a satisfactory solution. Of course, Han Jianming is not in a hurry, and this matter cannot be done in a day or two. At the moment Han Jianming went to the main courtyard.

When Qiu heard Han Jianming coming, she was shocked: "Minger, what's the matter?" It's okay at this time, Han Jianming will not come to the backyard.

Seeing Qiu's haggard look, Han Jianming also felt distressed: "Mother, I heard from the servants that you had a fight with father."

Qiu Shi didn't expect her son to come here for this matter, so she immediately said: "It's okay, I've gotten used to it over the years, it's okay." In the past, because of Aunt Rong, the husband and wife quarreled countless times. But compared with Aunt Rong back then, Aunt Mei is far behind.

Han Jianming, who was just distressed at first, felt very sad after hearing this. Han Jianming said, "Mother, if you really hate that woman, I'll have someone send her to Zhuangzi."

Qiu Shi was shocked: "You must not do this. Your father is now looking for that beautiful aunt. If you send her away, he will not tear you apart." She and Han Jingdong are husband and wife, don't Speaking of quarreling, even fighting with hands is no big problem. But the son is a junior, so he will only be beaten at that time.

Han Jianming smiled and said, "Mother, I won't."

Qiu quickly said: "Why not? Back when your father cared about Aunt Rong,

Even dare to disobey your grandmother's words. If you really send that woman away, if you are not sure at that time, you will have to take family law against you. "Her son is so grown up, she is not willing to lift a finger. If she is beaten for a woman, she has to love her to death.

Hearing this, Han Jianming's heart moved, and he asked, "Mother, did dad really disobey grandmother because of an aunt?" He had heard about this, but he didn't ask about the specific process. It's been so many years since it happened, and it's pointless to know about it. .

Qiu smiled wryly: "Of course it's true. When I was pregnant with you, Aunt Rong put dirty things in my food. Mother was lucky, she just didn't have much appetite and didn't eat that day. After finding out, your grandmother He wanted to kill Aunt Rong, but your father stopped him desperately. He even threatened your grandmother, saying that if he killed Aunt Rong, he would become a monk."

Han Jianming didn't even know what expression he had. For a woman, I don't even want my parents, wife and son, which is enough, and said: "But when Aunt Rong died later, my father was not very sad!" It's not that he was not very sad, Han Jingdong was not sad at all .

A look of disdain flashed across Qiu's face: "At that time your father was caring about her, so naturally he wanted to die because of her. Later, when Aunt Rong got old and decrepit, he naturally didn't care about her anymore." Since he didn't care about her, it naturally didn't matter much. . After talking to the old lady and scolding her, the matter is over.

Han Jianming's mind has turned several times. If this is true, he can make a fuss about this beautiful aunt. Perhaps, there will be unexpected effects.

Qiu urged Han Jianming, saying: "Minger, don't meddle in this matter. Your father is a bastard, don't catch his eye. No matter how displeased he is, he won't dare to divorce me. You don't have to worry about it." I worry."

Han Jianming felt extremely ashamed after hearing this. His biological son is not as good as the adopted Yuxi: "Mother, don't worry, I won't interfere."

After leaving the main courtyard, Han Jianming went back to the study, and immediately called the housekeeper over to ask what Qiu Shi had just said. From the chief steward, it was confirmed that what Qiu said was true. At this meeting, Han Jianming has a direction for persuading Han Jingdong to let the prince.

Soon, it will be December. December is the busiest season of the year. Because the New Year is coming, we have to prepare for the New Year's affairs and buy new year's goods.

Usually, the Qiu family would ask Yuxi to help, but this time she thought that Yuxi was spending the last year at home, so she didn't want Yuxi to be tired, so she let Yuxi intervene.

The weather is fine today, the sun came out. Zisu ordered someone to take out several boxes of Yuxi's unworn clothes to dry.

Yuxi looked at several big boxes of clothes, and said: "These clothes look like new ones. If you don't dispose of them, they take up space and it's a pity." It's not that Yuxi doesn't save money, but that she grows too fast. Clothes can only be worn in the current season, not in the coming year.

Zi Su also felt that it was a waste: "These materials are all good." Yuxi's clothes are all high-quality brocade. But also because the material is too good, it is not easy to handle. It is not good to give old clothes to relatives and friends, and it is reluctant to burn them. On weekdays, there are maids who take it out and dismantle it to make purses, but how much fabric does a purse cost.

Yuxi said: "Why don't you send them to the Yuyingtang." The so-called Yuyingtang is a place for orphans.

After saying this, Yu Xi knew it was inappropriate. Not to mention the clothes they wear, even the jewelry and other things they wear cannot be left outside. It is bad for their reputation. Even if they are sent anonymously, these clothes cannot be worn by those children. Maybe the people in the Yuyingtang will sell the clothes for money. Such a good material can still be worth a few dollars.

Zisu naturally disagreed: "Girl, even if these clothes are burned, they can't be sent to the Yuyingtang." It's okay to donate money, but how can I donate the clothes I'm wearing.

Yuxi waved her hand and said, "Let's keep it!" All the old things she used before were burned, and now she doesn't have many old things. Tao Ranju is big, so don't worry about having no place to put it.

In the afternoon, Yuxi was reading books and classes, and was about to go out for a walk. Cai Die came over and said, "Girl, Aunt Fu has returned home."

Yu Xi was taken aback, and said: "When did it happen?" She didn't hear any news about why Qiu Yanfu returned home.

Cai Die said: "It happened more than a quarter of an hour ago." Cai Die knew that Yu Xi had always hated Qiu Yanfu, so she hurried over to report the news when she got the news.

Yu Xi frowned and said: "Go and ask, who took Qiu Yanfu back to the mansion?" What Yu Xi can be sure of is that this is definitely not Qiu's idea. If it was Qiu's intention, it is impossible for her not to know. The only one who can pick up Qiu Yanfu back is the second brother besides Lu Xiu. Don't make guesses, it must be the second brother who brought Qiu Yanfu back.

Not knowing why, Yuxi was a little disappointed. For a person who has plotted against him, even if he doesn't kill her, it will be far away. But after a while, the second brother couldn't remember the lesson.

After a while Cai Die came back from the outside and said to Yu Xi: "Miss, I found out, it was Ernian inǎi who brought Aunt Fu back."

Yuxi felt that there must be something wrong with her ears: "What did you say? It was the second sister-in-law who brought Qiu Yanfu back?"

Cai Die nodded and said: "The person who brought Aunt Fu back is the second daughter-in-law's dowry, Mrs. Yu, so there should be nothing wrong with it."

Yuxi said "oh" and didn't continue. If Han Jianye brought Qiu Yanfu back, Yuxi would still say a few words. It's just Lu Xiu's idea, so Yu Xi is not going to take care of it. It must be her plan for Lu Xiu to bring Qiu Yanfu back. I just hope that Lu Xiu can suppress Qiu Yanfu without getting her eyes cut. Of course, even if she was pecked in the eye, it has nothing to do with her.

After Zisu knew about it, she couldn't help but asked Yuxi: "Girl, what on earth is your second niece thinking? You actually brought Aunt Fu back?"

Yuxi smiled and said, "Only the second sister-in-law knows about this." Lu Xiu didn't know Qiu Yanfu's background, and probably thought that Qiu Yanfu was rejected by her second brother, so she took it back to take a position. As for whether there are other reasons, Yuxi is not willing to waste this energy thinking about it.
