After being divorced, the concubine became the first lady

Chapter 32

Chu Jinjin understood what this meant, and she gradually frowned: "What about our deposit? Will it be refunded?"

Gold mines are directly related to the economic lifeline of a country. Therefore, gold mining rights must have a certain reputation, just like the back tone of future generations, and must have sufficient guarantees.

For example, the Chu family, with dozens of members living in the capital for many years and a big business, would never run away with the gold, or get involved in the law and embezzle it.

These are not enough. In addition, a huge guarantee fee must be paid.

Since there is a replacement, it stands to reason that the deposit paid should be refunded.

Chu Jinjin actually already knew it would be the answer.

As she thought, Chu Yannum shook his head: "I never gave a clear explanation."

The gold mine steward sent by the Chu family was certainly not an ordinary person. He immediately realized what the real reason was and asked immediately.

The answer I received: I will report it to the court.

Don’t say give, let alone not give.

If he didn't give it directly, then the Chu family would be able to cry out for such a large amount of money.

It's just a common excuse in official circles.

From now on, if you want to add guilt, there is no need to hesitate.

Chu Jingde didn't feel any turbidity. He held back his cough. His turbid old eyes were like an eagle unwilling to age, exuding the last sharpness of his life: "Yan'er, Jinjin, what do you think?"

Of these two, one is the eldest grandson and the worthy successor, and the other is the backbone of the Chu family today.

"Since ancient times, officials have not fought with the people. Besides, what we have offended is not ordinary officials. My grandson thinks that it is not as good as the peace of the whole family if the family is rich." Chu Yan was just a young man, but a series of blows left him with almost no energy. , lifeless, he smiled sadly, "Grandpa, Third Sister, let's leave the capital. The world is so big that there is always a place for the Chu family."

His words were like the night floating outside the window.

There is nowhere to hide.

Chu Jinjin was good at fighting, so good that she rescued her father from Black Eagle Village on a single horse, and so good that she went to get her dowry back in public.

But what happens after that?

The world belongs to the emperor.

The imperial concubine gave birth to two children to the emperor that year.

Instead of passively defending again and again, it is better to fly far away and find a place to live far away from the emperor of heaven and earth.

The light in Chu Jingde's eyes dimmed: "Jinjin, what do you mean?"

Chu Jinjin looked out the window, seemingly distracted, and whispered for a while: "Brother is right, to avoid his sharp edges, the safety of the family is the most important, but I am thinking, if my father is awake and faced with such a situation, What will he do?"

The light in Chu Jingde's eyes was like a candle blown by the wind. It was almost extinguished and he stood up again, staring closely at Chu Jinjin.

"First, if the person in the palace wants us to die, it is estimated that the capital we left will be just what she wants." Chu Jinjin not only replaced her father, but also had more than 20 years of experience between life and death in the apocalypse, " If she is just torturing us, then the best way is to let her see that our Chu family is not without the ability to fight back."

This is the crux of the matter.

With the concubine's current status, if she wanted to mobilize the local army, she only had to show her intention, and someone would do it for her.

Chu Jinjin confirmed that idea again and said in a deep voice: "She doesn't dare. After all, her son is not the prince yet. Compared with the future throne, our Chu family is not even an ant."

Chu Yan was about to speak but stopped.

The servants did not dare to come in and hold the lamp without permission. In the dim light and shadow, Chu Jinjin exuded an aura that he didn't know how to describe, which was stronger than the night.

Chu Jinjin's voice seemed to come from a far away place: "Grandpa, I want to call everyone for a meeting."

The Chu family has a special meeting hall. There are two imperial chairs in the middle, with the upper left on the left. These are also special seats built by the head of the family, Chu Zu.

Except for Chu Zijian, who was still in a coma, and the second young master who was sent to someone unknown, everyone came. Led by Mrs. Wang, the fifth wife, the eldest young master Chu Yan, and the third young master Chu Liang were divorced and returned to their natal homes. Chu Lingling, as well as the two fourth and fifth ladies who are not yet in the Chu family.

Chu Jinjin just sat down slowly under the gaze of everyone.

That means that from now on, she is the head of the family.

If time goes back to before marriage, no one will agree, even if the old man Chu Jingde is there to fight, how is it possible? There is no reason for a woman to be the head of the family.

But now, it is considered normal.

Chu Jinjin played with real strength.

"Everyone, before my father wakes up, I will temporarily take over the family business." It's not that Chu Jinjin has no experience in managing people, but she just doesn't want to worry about it. She looked around, and finally her eyes fell on Wang, "Do you have any objections?"

In the apocalypse, alliances are often formed briefly for a certain purpose. They don't ask for much loyalty, but just want everyone to work together during the agreement period.

Before that, we must first untie all the knots.

"Don't look at me. You have the means and strength. You saved the master, and this family should be in your charge." Wang's eyes were red and swollen, and she said word by word, "But it concerns my daughter's happiness, and I can't just sit idly by. Chu Jinjin, no, head of the family, I want to use my dowry in exchange for two children, do you think that’s okay?”

Chu Lingling's dowry belongs to the Chu family, but she has her own dowry, which is personal to her and she can use it however she wants.

Chu Jinjin nodded: "Of course."

Wang was stunned: "Do you agree?"

"Why don't you agree?" Chu Jinjin smiled, "Mom, I dare to ask you, Xu Xun was instigated by someone to divorce his wife. How can the person who instigated it be considered satisfied?"

Sometimes you have to rely on your fists to convince people, and sometimes you have to break things down and talk about it.

Chu Jinjin didn't say anything on the way because she suddenly realized that she might have missed an important detail. Is the second child the only traitor in the family?

Hard to say.

She must be cautious.

The person who takes action now doesn't know whether it is Wang Ruoyun or her family behind her, or even the intention of the imperial concubine, but no matter what, she just wants to see the Chu family and Chu Jinjin's misfortune.

Divorcing Chu Lingling brought shame to the Chu family, separated mother and son, and broke Chu Lingling's heart.

"Mother, let me ask you, what if Xu Xun agrees to give up his two children for money, but later regrets it?" Chu Jinjin looked at Chu Lingling, "Sister, Chun'er is just three years old, so she should listen to her grandmother's words."

Chu Lingling nodded with tears in her eyes.

Xu Xun's mother is not a thing, but her love for her grandson is genuine, and it hurts her heart and soul.

Chu Jingde's old voice suddenly sounded: "Ms. Wang, if Chun'er misses her grandmother and father, and the Xu family goes to court for this reason, what do you think the sentence will be?"

Wang opened her mouth but said nothing.

Generally speaking, unless there is no one at home and there are special circumstances, a woman who ends the marriage can take away the child.

In a situation like Xu Xun's, and being the only male in the family, when the time comes to go to court, no matter what the situation, he will almost certainly lose.

Wang gritted his teeth and said, "We can let him establish written evidence."

Chu Yan took over the words: "Mother, I'm afraid the written evidence is useless."

If the official certificate is really useful, the court will not hold back the deposit.
