Chapter 142 A Few Days Away From Each Other, Like Every Autumn
Chongxue Peak, Chu Family Manor.
"Hurry up, everyone stop dawdling. The husband is about to come home. Why are you all moving as slow as lazy donkeys?"
There is no eldest lady in the family, Chen Xiu is the eldest sister.
Although she is not the strongest or the most beautiful, she was the first to enter the family. What's more important is that she is fair in her dealings with others, considerate, and cares for everyone. No one can deny that.
Moreover, she is usually tolerant of the other women and does not nitpick. The other women are willing to listen to her.
But sometimes when she gets impatient, it makes the other women feel embarrassed.
What does she mean by lazy donkeys? Sister really doesn't give face!
They have long been accustomed to her nagging. Chen Ying and others are fine, but Zhao Chulu and Hu Chuanshan, who come from better backgrounds, feel very embarrassed.
Especially those who have played horse riding games and other similar games with Chu Shen, when they think of the embarrassing experiences, they feel ashamed, as if they were publicly humiliated.
But despite their daydreams, the women haven't seen Chu Shen for quite some time, and they do miss him. With Chen Xiu's urging, they have become more efficient.
The women, some with maids, some with children, gradually gather in the main hall, creating a lively scene.
"Husband has been away for several days, gaining fame and fortune. Even though we have been taking care of the household and raising our children, we have heard of his remarkable achievements. The hardships are self-evident. I happen to have learned a new recipe for steamed young chicken. I must let the husband enjoy it."
While chatting with the women, Chen Xiu has lost her initial shyness and is now more relaxed, which is a kind of progress.
However, when it comes to giving face to the women, there are times when they want to take the lead and refuse to comply.
The first one to object unexpectedly is Chen Ying: "Sister, what are you saying? Your husband has been away for these days, and you have been taking care of everything inside and outside the house. You should take a good rest. My massage skills have improved a lot, so I can help relieve your husband's fatigue."
Although most of the women who stayed at home this time have had experience with their second child, they are more experienced than their first child. Some of their desires are not as cautious as they were with their first child. They naturally have ways and techniques to satisfy their desires and won't foolishly give the opportunity to others.
Even close sisters have to keep accounts, let alone sisters from the same clan?
Chen Xiu is so angry. This ungrateful girl has let her sister pass so many times, and now she wants to obstruct her. She will definitely teach her a lesson and make her realize that she is still her sister.
Other concubines who think they are capable are not easy to deal with either. They also assert their rights with their words and smiles.
The scene is almost like they are about to divide with knives and forks.
Of course, there are those who don't get involved.
Xin Niang has a mild temperament, and with the curse of her bloodline almost resolved, she is sure to receive Chu Shen's favor. She just needs to wait, there is no need to fight.
Ning Xiangyue cannot speak and is a bit afraid. Every time Chu Shen teases her, she feels embarrassed. Unfortunately, there are a few troublemakers like Zhao Chulu who assist in their mischief and bully her, preventing her from speaking up to stop their "misdeeds." They find different ways to tease her.
In addition, she is pregnant with her second child, so she doesn't have as much playfulness. She just wants to see others make fun of themselves.
Wei Liangnu is more obedient. Whatever Chu Shen says, she follows without much inclination to compete with others.
The ones who are really addicted are Zhao Chulu, Li Lingyu, and Shu Gui. They are basically playful and mischievous.
There are also Qingping, Weilan, and other maidservants who are eager to participate. They are closely connected with their young mistress. If they want to get involved, they either need Chu Shen to approach them or they need to persuade their young mistress.
On the other hand, Tongzhou and Tongye sisters are more at ease and can secretly have fun with Chu Shen.
However, after giving birth to their children, the two sisters still need to restrain themselves and focus on recovery. Chu Shen will not let them act recklessly.
Just as the "division of spoils" reached its climax, Fang Wenjuan suddenly asked a question that made all the women quiet down.
"Sisters, I heard that our husband has brought back a sister with a great background. On the occasion of their honeymoon, I'm afraid our husband will favor this sister first."
The women of the Chu family have various sources of information at Chongxue Peak, mainly because Chu Shen allows them to attend lectures at various academies, which has allowed them to establish some connections as sources of information.
But the fact that this sudden news of Chu Shen's return could be transmitted to them so quickly is thanks to Yang Taichu's care.
As a disciple of the law enforcement at Chongxue Peak and with connections in the inner courtyard, Yang Taichu was one of the first to know about Chu Shen's return. Given her relationship with the Chu family, she had no problem casually revealing a little bit of information to the women.
However, this news inevitably underwent some changes during transmission. For example, the news about Dantai Liyue was only briefly mentioned because Yang Shijie felt a bit uncomfortable. Most of the Chu family women didn't pay attention to it, except for Fang Wenjuan, who meticulously unraveled the details and found the key point.
With her mention, the other women also realized it.
Yes, when Mr. Chu left, he borrowed the flying boat from Langhuan Tian Palace and took Li Jinrong, Shangguan Shurong, and Lu Wuxia with him. But when he returned, he was accompanied by a large group of people. These people are probably all related to the new sister.
With such power and strength, which sister present can compete?
Chen Xiu couldn't help but worry. What if the new sister is arrogant and doesn't accept her, a country girl like her?
Chen Ying also had some worries. Would her half-demon appearance be discriminated against by the newly arrived younger sister?
Zhao Chulu, Hu Chuanshan, and the others were also not having an easy time. The newly arrived younger sister was obviously from a prestigious family. No matter how good their backgrounds as mortal women were, how could they compare to her?
Wait, wait, wait, 743, and for a moment, everyone was filled with worries.
On the other hand, Wei Liangnu didn't care at all and had complete trust in Chu Shen. "If he favors her, then let him. After all, my husband won't forget about the old for the new. We can just wait for the new sister to pass her probation period before playing with my husband. That way, we can avoid all the arguments between you all."
I really don't understand why there's so much to argue about. I really want to be intimate with my husband and be done with it!
It seems like she's right!
Can that Chu Shen really enjoy the benefits?
Once the women understood, they started chattering like ducks, but this time they were discussing how to arrange a family banquet and how to interact with the new younger sister.
Wei Liangnu was still confused by all the arguing. Sisters really... think too much!
Just as the women were discussing enthusiastically, a sword light fell from the sky, revealing the appearance of Yang Taichu.
"Senior Sister Yang, why are you here?" Wei Liangnu paid her respects as a junior and then curiously asked. The other women also paid their respects.
Although they knew that this Senior Sister Yang was also a close friend of Chu Shen's, they hadn't become acquainted with her yet. Moreover, she was an official disciple of the Langhuan Heavenly Palace, so they couldn't be as casual as the Chu family's rules, even if the other party didn't mind.
Yang Taichu sighed. "I came to inform you all that you shouldn't wait for Junior Brother Chu to come back. He was summoned to the inner court and it will probably take a while."
