Reborn to marry, she no longer wants to be the young master's mother

Mrs. Chu really loved Xie Chaochao and kept holding her hand and asking about her well-being.

"Chu Heng! How long are you going to pretend to be dumb? Won't you coax your wife?"

Suddenly, Mrs. Chu turned around and looked at the desk. Xie Chaochao followed her gaze and met Chu Heng's dark eyes.

Chu Heng looked away and rubbed his eyes which had not slept all night.

Xie Chaochao didn't expect Chu Heng to be there too. She thought that it was him who saved her last night. "Thank you, Master Chu, for saving my life."

"No need." Chu Heng came to her and said, "I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn't told me last night, I might not have made it."

Chu Heng, dressed in a wedding gown, nodded slightly and bowed. Xie Chaochao hurried to support him, but felt that it was inappropriate for men and women to touch each other, so he put his hand down.

"My Lord, you are too kind. My legitimate sister should have been married to you, but I ended up taking your place. You can write me a letter of divorce and I will leave immediately."

In order to show his ability to take action, Xie Chaochao threw off the quilt and got out of bed, but was pulled back by Mrs. Chu.

"Where are you going? You are my daughter-in-law, who dares to let you go!"

Mrs. Chu gently held Xie Chaochao's cold little hand, afraid that she would crush it if she used too much force, as she was too fragile.

"Besides, we already know the reason for the marriage exchange. Since you married Chu Heng yesterday, you are Chu Heng's legitimate wife."

After saying that, he took off the jade hairpin from his own head and put it on her head himself. When he glanced at the hairpin she was already wearing, he was stunned for a moment.

She was afraid of dogs. Once when she passed by a village, she was chased by several dogs. A girl came to rescue her and sent her home. She remembered that the girl also wore the same hairpin.

"Thank you ma'am for your kindness, but this is too expensive."

Xie Chaochao's voice broke the memories. Mrs. Chu looked at her with inquiry and inexplicably felt that the two of them were somewhat similar.

Could it be?

Thinking of this possibility, Mrs. Chu liked it more and more.

"It doesn't matter. You saved Chu Heng's life. You deserve the jade hairpin that represents the young lady of the Chu family. By the way, you still call me Madam?"

Xie Chaochao blushed for a moment and lowered his head.

Madam Chu smiled softly and held the girl in her arms. "Look, our Chao Chao is still shy. Don't worry, I will take care of you as if you were my own daughter and raise you to be plump and white."

Smelling the pleasant scent of Mrs. Chu, Xie Chaochao felt a little sour in her nose. She had not felt the love of her mother, nor had she been hugged by her elders for many years.

In her previous life, they saved her from danger. In this life, she should make the best of it. She wants to guard the general's mansion and protect Mrs. Chu and General Chu who love her.

"Cousin! Is my cousin awake?"

A cheerful and playful girl's voice came from outside the door, and then a petite figure ran in.

The girl was wearing a green dress and had pigtails. She had delicate features and a pretty face. She looked very lively, but when her eyes scanned Xie Chaochao, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

She pretended, "Hello, cousin, I am cousin Chu Heng's cousin! It's an honor to meet you."

Xie Chaochao smiled and shook hands with her, "Thank you."

But in just a moment his expression turned extremely cold. Liu Fengling, they finally met.

In her previous life, because she couldn't marry Chu Heng, she turned love into hate and interfered to make Xie Yue'er have an affair with someone, and then she fabricated evidence of adultery in the Chu family, resulting in the execution of the entire Chu family.

In this life, Xie Chaochao will never let her succeed.

……

There were no outsiders at the table, and General Chu Heng and General Chu did not care about Liu Fengling being a woman. They began to discuss the assassin and border secrets from last night. At the critical moment, they were interrupted by two different voices.

One was Liu Fengling personally picking up a piece of fish for Chu Heng, and the other was Xie Chaochao pouring tea for Mrs. Chu.

Xie Chaochao smiled at her, it seemed that they had the same purpose.

No wonder Liu Fengling knew so much evidence, it turns out this family doesn’t know how to guard against thieves.

Liu Fengling couldn't sit still any longer. She pouted and acted cute, "Cousin, uncle, you are discussing confidential information in front of outsiders, aren't you afraid of being overheard?"

Every word she said was sincere, without a trace of falsehood.

But such a person who cared about the Chu family caused such misery to the Chu family.

"You're worrying too much."

Chu Heng spoke, looking at Xie Chaochao gently, and his words gave her a great sense of security and confidence.

"Chao Chao is my wife. We rise together and fall together."

Xie Chaochao looked at the high-spirited young man, smiled and nodded at him to express his gratitude.

Liu Fengling has always used innocence and naivety to deceive the Chu family, and now she wants to make up her mind.

"I'm sorry, cousin. I didn't think it through. Don't be angry, cousin."

Xie Chaochao chuckled, "It's okay. Dad, Mom, Master Chu, I'm full and a little tired, so I'll go back first."

No one at the table stopped her. Madam Chu turned around and looked at Chu Heng, repeating, "Mr. Chu? You should try harder to get your wife to change her mind."

Chu Heng stared at Xie Chaochao's departing back, with a faint smile on his lips, not in a hurry.

At night, Xie Chaochao and Chu Heng tacitly agreed not to sleep together, which made Mrs. Chu feel uncomfortable. She sat in the pavilion outside, picking flower petals and said to General Chu.

"My dear daughter-in-law and my son don't live in the same room. When will we be able to have a grandson?"

General Chu was about to fall asleep. "Those who know know that she is married to his son. Those who don't know think that she is married to you. Why do you care about them?"

Mrs. Chu punched him and said, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb! Go."

The two of them left into the night in dejection.

Xie Chaochao saw this scene and thought it would be easier for the two to leave her alone. She grabbed the jade hairpin her mother left for her, put on her hat, and quickly left through the back door.

He walked north along the narrow path and came to a pharmacy. He knocked gently on the door. A man came out, yawned and said the door was closed. Then he took out the hosta.

"I want to see your boss."

The man rubbed his eyes and stared at Yuzhin in surprise, "You...you are?"

Xie Chaochao remained calm, "Feng Jue."

The man invited her in, closed the door and went to the backyard. Xie Chaochao sat on a stool and looked around.

Before her mother died, she told herself that the jade hairpin was a treasure. There was a book about plants in her study, and she was asked to study hard. However, the hairpin was taken away by Xie Yue'er in her previous life, and she married Su Moqing. When she came to this life, she secretly took the book and put it in her package.

Tonight she found out that there was indeed a way, so she hurried over to look for it.

Not long after, an old man with white hair and a hunched back came up from behind. He stared at Xie Chaochao with his shrewd eyes and suddenly exclaimed, "Here he comes! He's finally here!"

"Seven years!"

His mother passed away seven years ago, so I guess he was waiting for his mother.

Xie Chaochao bowed with both hands, "Feng Jue is my mother, and I am her daughter, Xie Chaochao."

The old man wiped his tears and said, "I know. I went to see your mother off when she died. I guess you are still young and ignorant."
