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

Chapter 80 The Early Death of the Original Wife in the Cousin's Story 38
Sure enough, not long after Chu Ji returned to Beijing, he brought his family to Yanjing to take up a post. Aunt Mei also went with him. She was old and just wanted to be with her son and grandson.

After seeing the guests off on the boat, Linzhi returned to the mansion and saw Fang, who was trembling and being supported by someone. She was a little worried that Fang had affected her son's chances of passing the imperial examination.

As expected, Fang became ill not long after.

She stretched out her hand with difficulty, as if she had a flash of light: "Yue'er, Lin, don't let Yue'er in, drive her away!" She grabbed Lin Zhi's hand very hard, "That bitch hurt me."

Lin Zhi looked at Chu Jing, but Fang let go of Lin Zhi's hand and looked at Chu Fengrao: "Grandmother is sorry for you. She almost prevented you from giving birth. Do you blame grandma?"

Chu Fengrao shook his head: "Grandma, how could your grandson blame you? You take care of yourself and wait for your grandson to get married and have children."

Fang smiled, her skinny face looked scary: "Lin is useless, she only gave birth to a useless daughter, from now on you will have to rely on yourself, my dear grandson, and don't relax with the people in the second house, they are eyeing your father's position as the crown prince."

Linzhi·Chu Jing·Chu Fengrao……

Chu Wenjun's pretty face was filled with anger. She was so mad that she said who was useless!
Lord Chu was full of vigor: "Listen to what she said?! Everyone, get out, I'll stay here with her."

How could Chu Jing and the others let him stay here alone? Lord Chu drove them all out and kept watch alone. When the door was opened at dawn, Lord Chu looked calm and said, "Let the maid come in and clean up. Let's see each other for the last time later. Send a letter to Chu Ji as well."

Chu Ji was an official. No matter what his relationship with Fang was, he had to come back to observe mourning for her as his biological mother.

Otherwise, if a censor was found to be "unfilial", he would be demoted from his position for several years.

So, just before Chu Ji arrived in Yanjing and settled down, he was summoned back to the capital by a letter from home. The entire mansion was hung with white cloth, and people came and went in mourning.

The two children of Chu Fengrao, Chu Wenjun and Chu Ji all cried until their eyes were swollen.

Linzhi saw that clever little Chu Wenjun secretly gave onions to her brother and cousins ​​to make them cry more realistically, but her cousin pinched her rudely and made them cry sincerely.

She was speechless. This girl was doing something tricky here and wasn't afraid of being discovered.

However, perhaps the only people in the Marquis' Mansion who truly cried for Fang were Chu Jing and Chu Fengrao. One was her biological mother, and the other was taught to be filial to her elders since childhood. They didn't cry hard, but it was obvious that they were very sad.

As for herself, she shed a few tears, but not many, purely for the sake of her husband and son.

The body was buried after seven days of rest. Chu Jing then requested permission to observe mourning for his mother, but the emperor did not approve. His health had gradually deteriorated in the past few years, and he had barely held on for five or six years. Now he had to announce his abdication in favor of the crown prince.

As the Shangshu, Chu Jing must be in the court at this time to help the new emperor stabilize the court. It is his duty.

Chu Jing and Chu Ji could only return to the court in mourning. Soon, news spread that His Majesty was preparing to abdicate. Many people could no longer sit still, especially Chu Rou, who had been drifting further and further away from the Marquis' Mansion in recent years and passed the news to the Marquis' Mansion.

He was unwilling to watch the prince ascend the throne while his son was just a prince.

Chu Jing naturally ignored it. Chu Rou hated him so much that she made a scene in the palace, accusing Prince Lian and the imperial physician of drugging His Majesty. She said she would conduct a thorough investigation to let everyone know the truth.

In the end, the emperor had him gagged and dragged away.

His Majesty took out the imperial edict in public and announced that the prince would be the next emperor. The ministers shouted "Long live the new emperor!"
-
When the new emperor ascended the throne, a group of old ministers such as Minister Lin resigned, and Chu Jing took the opportunity to enter the cabinet and began his journey as the prime minister.

Chu Ji also returned to Yanjing and became his governor. As for Chu Fengrao, he had to mourn for his grandmother for three years before he could take the imperial examination again. However, time passed quickly, and three years later, Chu Fengrao took the Juren exam and became a Juren, then a Jinshi, and became the champion in the palace exam!
However, he was already in his twenties, and the most important thing was to get married, so he listened to his father and entered the Hanlin Academy as a seventh-rank editor, and then married the woman he had already chosen, a young lady from an official family.

At this time, Chu Ji was also transferred back to the capital, where he was highly valued by the right prime minister and trained as his successor.

After so many years, only the eldest branch of the family remains in the Marquis' Mansion. The third branch relied on Chu Rou becoming a concubine and disdained to live in the Marquis' Mansion anymore, and had already opened another mansion to live in.

When the second wife saw that the third wife had left, and the second master was about to take up a new post, she also took her family away.

Chu Ji then moved back to the marquis's mansion with his wife and children. Both parties were friendly people and wanted to be close to each other, so they naturally got along very comfortably. As for the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children - with Chu Ji's current achievements, no one would discuss these anymore.

Outsiders will only think of their good brotherly relationship and that they can go further by supporting each other.

Among the younger generation, Chu Ji's son got married, but his daughter Chu Wen was determined to do business and didn't want to get married at all. She opened restaurants in Yanjing, Beijing, and Bingzhou, and was very capable.

As for Chu Wenjun, she has always loved romance, so she spent the whole day in the yard writing some sad poems.

Seeing that she was serious, Lin Zhi made a book and took it to the shop, allowing anyone to read it. Who knew that it would be so popular among many people.

Chu Wenjun became more and more interested in it, and continued to create. Poems belonging to "Wenyuan Sheren" were circulated among literati until she met a like-minded man and got married. She continued to create and became the only poet who did not show her face but had a status in the literary world.

But she loved to have fun, so she first used a man's name, and later wrote poems under a woman's pen name.

The female name was not accepted at first, but gradually many people were attracted by her talent and acknowledged that her literary talent was better than that of most men.

At this time, she humorously used another pen name to attract people to discover.

A group of literati who loved "Wenyuan Sheren" but disdained female names were greatly shocked and shouted wildly that it was impossible and they didn't believe it!
Chu Wenjun personally attended the poetry reading, which broadened their horizons.

Lin Zhi and Chu Jing were in the box at the time, and they saw Chu Wenjun arguing with a group of men. She did not show her usual weakness at all, and instead, every word she said was full of gems, leaving people speechless.

"Look, your daughter is so majestic." She poked Chu Jing's arm.

Chu Jing raised the corners of his lips, very satisfied: "A group of men who cannot argue with a woman are useless in the court."

Linzhi...just spoil your daughter.

The two did not show up and left quietly through the back door. This was Chu Wenjun's own battlefield. She did not need to rely on the title of Prime Minister Chu's daughter to make all the men bow down to her.

When Lin Zhi returned to the Marquis' Mansion, a chubby little guy hugged her legs and said, "Grandma."

Linzhi... Who would understand, she actually became a grandmother.

Chu Jing picked up the child and said, "Your grandmother is not very strong, so please be gentler in the future, okay?" He turned and looked at Lin Zhi with a smile in his eyes.

Lin Zhi also smiled and said to the child, "Yes, let your grandfather hold you."
