Many children, many blessings: The male protagonist who has no descendants becomes a man who dotes o

Because when Mrs. Chu was pregnant, Mrs. Chu's maid Dongmei climbed onto General Chu's bed when General Chu was drunk.

That night, General Chu drank too much and had no memory of what happened, and fell asleep in a daze.

When he woke up the next day, he found himself and Dongmei lying on the same bed, entangled with each other, revealing their springtime beauty.

He was stunned!

He didn't expect that something like this would happen between him and a maid.

Not long after, Dongmei became pregnant.

At this point, General Chu had no choice but to take Dongmei as his concubine.

It was normal for him, as a general, to have three wives and four concubines, but Madam Chu had a strong temper. When she was pregnant, a maid took her place, which made her angry, and she was no longer as loving to General Chu as before.

Later, she died of complications during childbirth of Chu Yannan.

And Chu Yuqin lost her mother just like that.

Therefore, General Chu felt somewhat guilty towards his eldest daughter, Chu Yuqin, so he loved her especially dearly.

However, General Chu was often away at war and did not have much time to take care of Chu Yuqin. He also neglected a lot in her education, causing her to become more and more spoiled and willful. She was not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting, and did not look like a lady from a noble family at all.

Now, General Chu was really surprised when he suddenly heard that the emperor liked Chu Yuqin.

In great joy, he packed his bags overnight and rushed back without stopping.

Who knew that as soon as I came back, I saw Chu Mengyi and Dongmei seemed to be going out.

"Dad, Mom and I are just going out for a walk. You don't have to worry about us." Chu Mengyi said quickly.

"Walk?" General Chu frowned, obviously not believing it. "It's so early in the morning, and you two go out for a walk without bringing servants. Don't you think it's strange?"

Moreover, Chu Mengyi and Dongmei both looked nervous. They did not show any joy to see him return. Instead, they looked panicked. There must be something wrong!

Chu Mengyi and Dongmei looked at each other.

"Dad, we won't go far. We'll just walk around here and be back soon." Chu Mengyi said.

General Chu frowned and said, "Don't go shopping for now. I'm going back home today. Our family hasn't been together for a long time. Call your sister and Yan Nan to go and pay respects to your grandmother."

When Chu Mengyi heard General Chu's words, his heart skipped a beat.

Did my father notice something?

If that's the case, then they're in trouble!

Chu Mengyi's mind was racing, thinking about how to deal with it.

She originally wanted to run away, but then she thought that if she ran away, it would only prove that she was guilty.

Since her father proposed it, she had no reason to refuse.

"Dad, we..."

Before Chu Mengyi could finish her words, General Chu interrupted her: "It's decided. You and your mother go back to your room and get ready. I'll send someone to call you later."

Chu Mengyi and Dongmei looked at each other, both of them feeling uneasy.

However, they had no way to shirk it.

"Yes, General!" Dongmei bowed and raised a forced smile at the corner of her lips.

"Dad, mom and I will go back to our room first." Chu Mengyi said helplessly.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but he didn't expect to be so unlucky. As soon as he went out, he met General Chu.

I hope my father doesn't find out anything.

General Chu's eyes fell on Chu Mengyi, and he suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Yier, why are you so flustered? Are you hiding something from your father?"

Chu Mengyi's heart trembled suddenly.

Could it be that my father noticed something?

"I...what could I hide from my father?" Chu Mengyi forced a laugh and said as if nothing had happened.

"Really not?" General Chu stared at Chu Mengyi with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see something from her eyes.

Chu Mengyi's heart was beating wildly. She didn't dare look directly at General Chu, for fear that her father would find out.

"Dad, I...I really have nothing to hide from you!" Chu Mengyi gritted her teeth and said stiffly.

"Yes, General, what's wrong with you? What could Yier be hiding from you?" Dongmei also spoke up.

Dongmei was also feeling a little uneasy. She didn't expect that General Chu would return home at this critical moment!

"That's good. Let's go and pay our respects to grandma together." General Chu said calmly, walking towards the main hall.

"Dad..." There was a flicker of unwillingness in Chu Mengyi's eyes.

She missed such a good opportunity to sneak away.

"Yier, let's go." Dongmei gently pulled Chu Mengyi's sleeve, motioning her to follow.

The two followed General Chu and walked towards the inner courtyard of the Chu Mansion.

As soon as the three of them walked into the door, Nanny Zhou beside Old Madam Chu hurriedly greeted General Chu.

When Mrs. Chu saw General Chu, she smiled happily: "I greet you, General. You are finally back!"

"Please stand up, Madam Zhou," General Chu said politely.

"Thank you, General." Nanny Zhou stood up and asked, "General, did your expedition go smoothly this time?"

"Fortunately, we successfully dealt with a few rebels." A faint smile appeared on General Chu's lips.

After hearing what General Chu said, Nanny Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you returned safely, General."

"By the way, where is my mother? Is she in good health?" General Chu asked with concern.

"Madam is in good health, but she has been coughing these days. She might have caught a cold. Master, don't worry." Nanny Zhou replied respectfully.

General Chu's eyes flashed with worry, "Is she okay?"

"Don't worry, General. The old lady is fine. It's just an old illness, nothing serious." Nanny Zhou said hurriedly.

"That's good. Thank you for your care during this period, Madam Zhou." General Chu said gratefully.

"No, this is just my job." Madam Zhou said with a smile, "By the way, the old lady is waiting for you in the main hall, please go there as soon as possible."

"Okay." General Chu responded, then turned and left.

Dongmei and Chu Mengyi looked at each other and hurriedly followed General Chu.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the main hall.

Old Madam Chu was sitting in the main seat. She was wearing a purple brocade robe and holding a jade hairpin. Her delicate face, although a little pale, could not hide her elegant and noble temperament.

"Mother." General Chu walked forward and called respectfully.

"Second brother, you're back." Old Madam Chu said with a smile when she saw General Chu.

"Yeah." General Chu nodded.

"Second brother, thank you for your hard work these days." Old Madam Chu said lovingly.

"Mother, you are too kind. Serving the country is what a son should do," General Chu replied quickly.
