Quick Wear: Explosive Change! The cannon fodder female supporting role is done with it

Chapter 48 The Early Death of the Original Wife in the Cousin's Story 6
Lord Chu has two brothers, neither of whom has his own house. They live in the mansion with their children. However, they both hold official positions, and the sisters-in-law get along fairly well with each other.

The sons of the two masters all got married, and each had one legitimate son and two illegitimate sons, and two daughters each.

They were the girls that Linzhi met that day, all of them were in their teens.

As for Chu Jing, he only had one illegitimate brother named Chu Ji, who had already passed the examination for a scholar and was now preparing for the examination for a juren. Compared with other families that often had five or six children, the Chu family had relatively few descendants.

In the original plot, the daughters of the Chu family married pretty well, especially Chu Rou, who had a good relationship with Wen Shuyue. She even entered the palace and became an imperial concubine, and the son she gave birth to became the next emperor.

Chu Jing's three cousins ​​also had a good ending. No matter how high or low their official positions were, they are all still alive.

Only Chu Ji, because he coveted the position of the crown prince, was eventually driven out of the mansion by Lord Chu and sent to a bitter and cold mountain valley to serve as a county magistrate. He was later killed by bandits who entered the city.

The evidence and witnesses that Chu Ji coveted the position of crown prince were provided by Wen Shuyue.

Lin Zhi couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Chu Ji, so when they met on the road, she stopped to greet him and couldn't help asking a few more questions: "Are you studying well? If you need anything, let me tell you. Don't let yourself suffer."

Chu Ji quickly said, "No, thank you for your concern, sister-in-law."

He hesitated for a moment: "Sister-in-law, are you going to pay your respects to mother?"

Lin Zhi blinked: "That's right." She had rested in the yard for two days, using the excuse that she was not feeling well, but early this morning Fang's maid came to call her to the main courtyard.

"Do you think there's something wrong?"

Chu Ji: "Mother is looking for my sister-in-law, probably for the Spring Banquet in a few days, hmm." He stroked his school uniform nervously, "I heard a few days ago that the Spring Banquet is actually a disguised way to choose a concubine for the Third Prince. If mother wants my sister-in-law to take my cousin, it would be better for her to refuse."

After saying that, he seemed to have used up all his strength, "Sister-in-law, please go in. I'll leave first."

Lin Zhi watched him walk away. The boy looked to be about sixteen years old, thin, and looked like a scholar. But compared to the person she saw at the family dinner that night, his temperament seemed to have changed a little.

She frowned all the way until she walked into the main hall, and then she stopped thinking about why Chu Ji suddenly told her this.

"Mother, are you looking for me?"

After Lin Zhi greeted Fang, she sat down and asked.

Fang nodded and said, "How is your illness? The Princess's Mansion will hold a spring banquet in a few days. As the Crown Prince's wife, if you are feeling better, you can bring your sisters over."

Lin Zhi was stunned. Chu Ji was right. In the original plot, the original owner took Wen Shuyue to the Spring Banquet. However, because of her divorced status, she was laughed at by other noble ladies. As a result, she was seen by the princess, who severely taught the woman a lesson and reprimanded the original owner for not taking good care of the heroine.

She herself had divorced her husband, so naturally she couldn't bear to see others bullying her like this.

Afterwards, the princess took Wen Shuyue to sit next to her, gave her enough face, and told her to come and play with her in the future.

The princess was the most beloved daughter of the retired emperor, and the current emperor also attached great importance to her. Once her attitude came out, the discussions about Wen Shuyue's divorce in the capital suddenly became much smaller, and many women even sent her invitations to come to his house to play.

It can be said that this Spring Banquet was of no benefit to the original owner, while Wen Shuyue gained a strong supporter.

Lin Zhi thought of what Chu Ji had just said: "Yes, on that day my daughter-in-law will bring a few sisters over." He did not mention Wen Shuyue at all. In the original plot, the original owner thought it was an ordinary banquet, so he took the heroine with him.

Although she didn't know what His Majesty and the Third Prince's attitude would be after they knew about this, Fang was very satisfied with the original owner's actions. Fang glanced at her and said, "Take your cousin Shuyue with you to have some fun, so that she won't be lonely in the mansion."

"This..." Lin Zhi hesitated, "Mother, if it was an ordinary banquet, I would have brought my cousin with me, but I learned that this Spring Banquet is actually for the Third Prince to choose a concubine, and my cousin is divorced after all. If His Majesty and the Third Prince blame me..."

Although she didn't know where Chu Ji got the information, she was willing to take a chance.

Fang was shocked: "Is the news accurate?"

Lin Zhi was embarrassed: "Although it is not a confirmed news, since it has been spread, it must be true. If mother does not believe it, why not wait for husband to come back and ask."

Fang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll ask Jing'er when he comes back."

She looked at Lin Zhi with appreciation, "Fortunately you paid more attention to the news outside and reminded me. If I had taken Shuyue with me without thinking, not only would His Majesty blame me and affect my son's career, but Yue'er would also be in trouble."

Lin Zhi smiled without changing her expression: "I hope mother doesn't blame her daughter-in-law for meddling in other people's affairs."

Fang immediately became close to her: "You are the one who wins my heart the most. Nanny Wang, quickly bring the set of rubies in my room to the Crown Prince's wife." She smiled and said to Lin Zhi, "You are young and beautiful, and it will look great on you."

When Nanny Wang opened it, the pearls shone brightly instantly. In the plot, Fang originally gave it to the heroine to wear to the Spring Banquet.

Although the method was a bit criticized, Lin Zhi would not refuse a good thing. She took it with a smile and said, "Thank you, mother. You are so good to your daughter-in-law."
-
In the evening, just after Lin Zhi finished washing up, the servant reported that Chu Jing had come to the yard.

She was only wearing a thin shirt. Seeing Chu Jing had already entered the house, she walked over to him without changing her clothes and asked him why he came here. But she guessed in her heart that it was probably related to the Spring Banquet.

Chu Jing didn't expect that she had finished her meal and washed up so early. He saw that she was wearing a thin lotus-colored shirt and her long hair was loose, which made her skin look even whiter. Her eyes were slightly upturned and her watery eyes were clear. She was different from any appearance he had ever seen.

He lowered his eyes and drank the water, and after swallowing it, he said, "But did your father-in-law tell you about the Spring Banquet?"

Lin Zhi thought for two seconds: "Yes."

Someone has to take the blame for this, and Chu Jing won't really confront Minister Lin anyway.

Chu Jing nodded: "Well, I have already told my mother that you don't need to bring your cousin with you. Just take care of your sisters."

Lin Zhi thought that the heroine would lose her support, but Wen Shuyue's biggest support was actually Chu Jing's favor. Once this was gone, she would be completely without support.

"Yes, I understand."

After saying this, Chu Jing was about to leave, but Lin Zhi found that he didn't move at all, and couldn't help wondering: "Prince?"

Chu Jing looked at her: "Are the ready-made clothes, shoes and socks for this month not ready yet?"

Linzhi suddenly remembered the half-made men's shoes that she had thrown into the sewing basket.

"Well, I've been sick these past two days, and I haven't finished yet... My husband, do you have any shoes to wear? I heard that my cousin sent two pairs a few days ago, but they are not comfortable to wear?"
