Quick Wear: The stupid beauty with multiple pregnancies makes the heirless boss cry

Moreover, on the way back to Shengjing, he took her to meet his mother.

He originally had time to accompany Rong Xi for a few days, but the next morning Chi Xu told him that his father wanted him to go back home to discuss something important.

He didn't know what happened at home. This father never meddled in his own affairs.

He left before Rong Xi woke up. Before leaving, he specifically told Lu'er not to wake up the person in the bed and let her sleep as long as she wanted.

Lu'er nodded in agreement, but still asked the kitchen to prepare breakfast early so that the girl would not have to get up to eat.

.

As for Chu Jinzhi, his face had not been very good since he got on the carriage.

Although the Shangshu Mansion is his home, he has not been back many times since the emperor allocated a mansion to him.

The father would only send someone to invite him back when something important happened in the family.

He didn't like this father, and could even be said to hate him. If he was not his biological father, with his methods, that man would definitely not be living such a comfortable life now.

Chi Xu and Ling Zhou, who were outside the carriage, were guards who had been following the admiral for many years. They naturally knew that the admiral would be in a bad mood every time he returned to the Shangshu Mansion.

However, the Shangshu master seemed to be unaware of his son's dislike for him. Every time he came home, he would act like an elder, begging for favors and making arrangements.

The two of them did not dare to offend their own admiral at the moment, for fear that they would be punished with a stick if they used an inappropriate word.

The three of them soon arrived at the Shangshu Mansion. The door was open and the housekeeper had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Chu Jinzhi coming, he hurried forward to greet him.

Chu Jinzhi's attitude towards the old butler was relatively calm, and he followed him inside.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lin Yi and Jiang Yu’s father sitting inside yesterday. Of course, his father was also sitting inside at this moment.

When the two men saw Chu Jinzhi, although he was a junior, they did not dare to neglect him as he was a second-rank official of the imperial court and the governor of the Nine Gates.

"Meet Master Chu."

The two of them spoke in unison, and after saluting, they did not dare to stand up without Chu Jinzhi's signal.

As Chu Jinzhi's father, Chu Shizhang had been giving him looks since he entered the door, but he pretended not to see it and sat down.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before speaking slowly.

"You two lords are too polite. Please stand up."

"Thank you, sir."

They didn't dare to sit down until Chu Jinzhi spoke. Finally, it was Chu Shizhang who spoke, and the two of them sat down.

Chu Jinzhi held the teacup in his hand and drank it slowly without raising his eyes, causing the two people sitting opposite him to swallow their words several times when they wanted to speak.

"You two gentlemen, you can't come to the Shangshu Mansion just to drink tea, right?"

Lin Yi's father spoke first, "Master Chu, it's like this. Our family transported a batch of grain and cloth from outside the city, but it was detained at the East City Gate. I don't know why, so I came to ask Master Chu for advice."

"Look at what Lord Lin said. The grain and cloth transport department came in, but instead of asking the city gate leader, they came here to ask me. How do I know this?"

Chu Jinzhi said it lightly, but to Lin Yi's father, it sounded like, "I won't give you this thing, what can you do to me?"

They both knew that Chu Jinzhi had always been stubborn and even in the court, the emperor would ask for his opinion.

Then he looked to Chu Shizhang who was sitting next to him as if asking for help, hoping that he could plead for them as a colleague.

Chu Shizhang nodded slightly, signaling them not to worry.

"Jin'er, your two uncles' shops are all doing honest business. If there is no problem, let your subordinates let them go."

From the moment Chu Jinzhi opened his mouth, his expression became noticeably colder, leaving the two people opposite him confused. Could the relationship between this father and son be just as the rumors said?

They didn't dare to speak and waited quietly for Chu Jinzhi to speak.

Chu Shizhang became even more anxious. It was rare for him to speak to his son in front of outsiders. If his son didn't agree, where would he put his face?

Chu Jinzhi avoided the hint in his eyes and spoke directly to the two people opposite him.

"My Lords, the grain and cloth were detained. Perhaps there is something wrong with the grain or cloth. If there is something wrong, I dare not put it in casually. If there is any problem and the emperor knows about it, I will lose my official hat."

Jiang Ning's father stood up quickly.

"Don't worry, Master Chu. There must be no problem with our things."

"Whether there is any problem or not will depend on the city gate guards' inspection. The two adults please go back first. If there is really no problem, I will naturally let them put the things back."

"This... then thank you, Master Chu."

After the two left, Chu Shizhang's face turned cold. Before Chu Jinzhi came, he patted his chest and guaranteed that there would be no problem. Now he lost face.

"Jin'er, can't you be more flexible? They are all my colleagues. How can I hold my head up in front of them?"

Chu Jinzhi didn't say anything, just looked at him straight.

This look made Chu Shizhang feel uneasy, as these eyes looked very much like his mother's.

"So, that's why you called me back."

Chu Shizhang coughed a little embarrassedly.

"Of course, it's not entirely for this reason. The most important thing for calling you back this time is your lifelong event. Your aunt spent a long time selecting the ladies from noble families for you. Each of them is the best, with excellent family backgrounds and looks. You are already twenty-one, and you can see which men your age are still unmarried. Haven't you heard the rumors about you in the city? They say you are gay. Do you know that your father can't even hold his head up when he goes out?"

Chu Jinzhi was most annoyed by him meddling in his own affairs, and his expression became increasingly cold.

But Chu Shizhang acted as if he didn't see it and asked the butler to bring the portrait and place it on the table next to Chu Jinzhi.

"Take a look and see if there's anything you like. They all look good to me."

He unfolded one of the portraits.

"This is General Li's daughter. She is very pretty. I heard from your aunt that she has been attracted to you since she saw you at the Hundred Flowers Banquet last year. She has not yet decided on a date. Take a look."

Chu Jinzhi looked at the woman in the portrait. She was indeed quite pretty, but...

"Father must know about the affair between Miss Li and her guards. This matter was known to the whole city back then."

Chu Shizhang was embarrassed. He didn't know these little girls very well. This incident had indeed caused a big stir back then, so he quickly put the portraits away.

"Then take a look at this one. This is the daughter of Lord Gu. Although her appearance is not outstanding, she has a good family background and can help you more in the future."

"The daughter of Marquis Gu's family has suffered from coughing since she was a child. She stops every three steps and gasps every five steps. Are you sure you want to choose her, father?"

"This……"
