The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Shu Xiao immediately knelt down and clasped his fists: "Shu Xiao, I will go through fire and water without hesitation at the command of the general!"

Seeing him like this, Chu Nie thought that he had understood the meaning of his words. He was a smart and sensible person, so he said with full energy: "Okay! From now on, you will follow me!"

That's how it's settled.

Everyone went to pack their luggage. Father Chu Zhen and fourth brother Chu Ren prepared to go to Changqing City, while eldest brother Chu Yan took Shu Xiao and went another way.

The departure time for the four people is scheduled for early tomorrow morning.

To see them off, Er Niang arranged for the kitchen staff to prepare a sumptuous dinner for them, and the whole family gathered together for dinner that evening.

During dinner, everyone said auspicious words and originally wanted to have a few drinks, but thinking about how difficult the journey would be, everyone was very cautious and therefore only drank a little.

However, in order to reassure those who remained in the capital, Chu Zhen and others still created a very warm atmosphere.

Seeing that the dinner was about to end, Chu Heyi stood up and said, "Father and three brothers, you can go ahead without worrying about it. Kill the enemies as much as you can and seek medical treatment as you need. Don't worry about home. Second Mother and I will take good care of everyone. When you return home, no one will be missing."

Er Niang was his father's concubine. She had always gotten along with Chu Heyi's mother like a sister. After Chu Heyi's mother passed away, she was made his legal wife.

After Chu Heyi came back, he called her Second Mother, just like his brothers.

Chu Zhen's eyes were tearful. If it weren't for this daughter, their Chu family would have suffered a huge loss.

Thinking that after they left, the huge Zhenbei Marquis Mansion would be guarded by his daughter, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her tender shoulders.

"Father believes that you can protect the family, but don't forget that you are still just a child. If you have any difficulties, feel free to ask your second mother for help."

Chu Heyi smiled and comforted his father and brother: "Father, I will. If there are any difficulties, I will never bear it alone. I will ask Second Mother for help."

Er Niang raised her hand and touched her head.

Chu Ren also stood up and said, "Sister, just relax at home. I will bring father back no matter what."

"I believe in Fourth Brother!" Chu Heyi replaced wine with tea and clinked glasses with the whole family. Everyone drank up the tea in their cups.

Chu Yu said, "I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back to my room first."

Chu Heyi understood what he meant and nodded: "Okay, big brother, walk slowly and don't fall. Shu Xiao, take good care of my big brother."

Shu Xiao nodded and pushed Chu Yi's wheelchair away.

Just as they left, the housekeeper outside came to announce: "Miss Runxue is here."

Chu Heyi smiled. Her elder brother guessed that Chu Runxue would come and didn't want to see Chu Runxue, so he left early.

After knowing Chu Runxue's true character, considering eldest brother's temper, it would be better not to see her. He might not be able to control his disgust for her.

"She must be here now to see you off and be a good daughter and sister." Chu Heyi chuckled and walked out.

When Chu Runxue saw her, she said, "My father and brother are going to the battle tomorrow, so I came to say goodbye to them."

Chu Heyi snorted and walked away.

As a person whose marriage was "kidnapped", she had enough reasons to dislike Chu Runxue.

Chu Runxue's expression was indifferent. She didn't care about Chu Heyi's attitude. As she watched her leaving, the corners of her mouth twitched.

"Chu Heyi, do you think that being robbed of your marriage is so miserable? How can you treat me like this? Being robbed of your marriage is just the beginning of your misery."

Withdrawing her gaze, Chu Runxue walked into the hall and said goodbye to Chu Zhen and his son.

Although Chu Heyi was not at the scene, she could imagine how nice Chu Runxue's words were and how reluctant she was to see her father and brother go to the battlefield.

Chu Runxue stayed at the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion for about half an hour, then got up and went back.

I heard that when she left, her eyes were red and she looked reluctant.

After listening to Aunt Rui's description, Chu Heyi felt that Chu Runxue was amazing, and that she could act so well...

But the better the acting, the more disgusting it made her feel.

I thought that after Chu Runxue left, I would just spend the night like this, but an uninvited guest came.

This person's arrival was beyond Chu Heyi's expectations, but when she thought about it carefully, it was reasonable, but she just ignored it.

Chu Heyi immediately got up and went to his eldest brother's yard.

As soon as I got outside the door, I heard crying and talking coming from inside.

"General Chu, you defend our country, and I respect you very much. This time, you suffered such a tragedy in order to save a little girl, and I also sympathize with you. However, my sister is still a beautiful girl, and I hope she will be happy in this life and be carefully cared for by her future husband. But the general is like this now... Please don't blame me for speaking harshly. I hope General Chu will take the initiative to cancel the engagement."

When Chu Heyi walked in, she saw the person who was talking was Qiao Yuanqing, the elder brother of her eldest brother's fiancée.

"Brother, please don't say such things!" Qiao Wanwan wiped her tears. "Brother Chu and I have already been engaged. I will not marry anyone other than Brother Chu in this life. I came to the Chu family tonight not to break off the engagement, but to say goodbye to Brother Chu!"

"It's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words! What I said tonight is what my parents wanted. Do you want to disobey them? Wanwan, we're doing this for your own good!"

Qiao Yuanqing then said to Chu Yu, "Originally, I should have asked a matchmaker to come to your house to discuss this matter, but I was afraid of damaging the reputation of the Zhenbei Marquisate, so I came to inform General Chu tonight. If you still have some sympathy for Wanwan in your heart, please don't delay her."

In fact, the truth is not so.

When the Qiao family heard about Chu Bian's situation, they thought about canceling the engagement. When his parents and brothers were discussing the matter, Qiao Wanwan overheard it.

She threatened to die and insisted on meeting Chu Ni, otherwise she would rather die than break off the engagement.

The Qiao family had no choice but to bring her here, hoping that after seeing Chu Ni's disabled legs, she would back off from the marriage proposal.

Otherwise, Qiao Yuanqing would not come to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion tonight. Their Qiao family would only let the matchmaker come directly to cancel the engagement.

The Chu family has lost many talented people. After Chu Zhen broke a leg and retired from the battlefield, two more legitimate sons died in battle. Now the entire Zhenbei Marquis Mansion depends on Chu's baggage for support.

Although Chu Zhen and the Fourth Young Master volunteered to join the Northern Zhou invasion, the Qiao family had already analyzed the situation and none of them were optimistic about the war.

The Chu family will certainly suffer heavy losses when they go to the northern border this time, and the glory of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion will be gone forever.

If I don't cancel the engagement now, when will I?

His father was a fourth-rank official, and his sister was outstanding in appearance. It was already an injustice for her to be Chu Ni's second wife. Moreover, Chu Ni had lost both legs. What was the point of letting his sister marry him?

The Chu family will continue to slide downhill with no possibility of rising again. Giving away a younger sister will do nothing for the Qiao family's advancement. Isn't this something only a fool would do?
