Get out of your vicious mother's house, and make a fortune with your husband to become a prince

Chapter 217: Falling in love with Wu Yu

The New Year's Eve in the General's Mansion was unusually lively. Chu Jingyiwu received a reward from the Emperor, and it was said that the daughter that was found in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion also received a lot of rewards.

Chu Jing returned to the general's mansion and jumped off the carriage. She happened to see her brother Chu Jing who was welcoming her. She stuck out her tongue and walked up to her brother with a smile: "Brother, the emperor rewarded me with ten taels of gold, and the queen gave me coral. Am I awesome?"

When Chu Jing saw his sister jumping up and down, the smile on his face immediately disappeared without a trace: "Can't you let me be more careful? Have you forgotten your manners again?"

Chu Jing was originally born in the capital. She was sent to the Chu family military camp on the border when she was five years old. She did not return to the capital until she was 12 years old. However, her personality had already been formed, and she always insisted on becoming a female general.

Chu Feng has only one son and one daughter, and Chu Jing dotes on this sister very much.

Although Chu Jing is a little unruly, like everyone else in the Chu family, she is very upright at heart.

Because this was her first time attending a palace banquet, she started practicing her etiquette early on.

Chu Jing's mother had been living with Chu Feng in Baicheng on the border. Before Chu Jing came back, the general's mansion was managed by his wife.

Mrs. Chu Jing, Yan Luxue, walked slowly towards him from behind. She was wearing a dark red cloak and had an elegant appearance. Her eyes were like autumn water, giving people a faint sense of weakness. She walked slowly towards him with a smile on her face.

Chu Jing pouted: "Why do you always scold me? Sister-in-law is better! Humph" She turned and looked at Yan Luxue: "Sister-in-law, please take care of brother. You are scolding me again"

Yan Luxue stepped forward and held the hand that Chu Jing extended to her: "Jing'er, you performed very well today, but Jing'er, your brother is doing this for your own good!"

Chu Jing, who was originally somewhat proud, heard Yan Luxue's next words and glared: "Sister-in-law, you can't speak for big brother, you have to speak for me..."

"Okay, I'll support you." The family of three walked into the door talking and laughing.

The family had already prepared the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Chu Jing and Yan Luxue had been married for three years, but there had been no movement from Yan Luxue. Of course, this was mainly because Chu Jing left for the border not long after their marriage. He had been gone for more than two years and only came back some time ago.

Chu Jing kept picking up food for Yan Luxue: "Sister-in-law, you need to eat more. You are too thin. Only a fatter one can give me a niece."

Although Yan Luxue was already a married woman, she had only been with Chu Jing for a month. After hearing what Chu Jing said, her face immediately blushed.

"Jing'er..." Chu Jing was also looking forward to it, but how could a little girl say this.

"Brother, today is New Year's Day, don't scold me anymore." Chu Jing immediately blocked what Chu Jing was about to say.

Chu Jing continued to chatter with a playful smile.

As for the one hundred guards who followed Chu Jing back to the capital, except for those on duty who were patrolling, the others gathered together to drink.

Wu Peng told Chu Jing what happened at home, but he didn't have time to tell Wu Yu.

A group of brothers who had been to the battlefield together were toasting each other, making the scene very lively.

"Wu Yu, what are you staring at?"

"Hey, can't you see? He has something on his mind," one of them said mysteriously.

Others immediately came over and asked, "What happened that made Captain Wu so distracted?" Others began to make a fuss.

"Don't you think Miss treats him differently?"

"Oh..." There were noises of booing everywhere.

Wu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Everyone, please don't joke with the young lady!"

Wu Peng came over quickly: "My brother has a fiancée, and she is the eldest daughter, how can we joke about her casually?"

Everyone had no ill intentions at first. If Wu Yu really married the eldest lady, it would be a good thing! It was a pity that he already had a fiancée.

The jokes of several people were heard by a little maid who was passing by outside.

Because the head and his wife of the Chu family live in the border area and have not celebrated the New Year in the capital for many years, they have no friends to visit during the New Year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the original plan of paying New Year's greetings to parents-in-law was omitted.

The maid changed the water twice last night. Both of them were very tired, and Chu Jing and Yan Luxue were still asleep.

Chu Jing came to the outside of Chu Jing's yard and was stopped by the guard. Chu Jing didn't care at this time: "Go call my brother, I have something very important! Hurry up!"

Chu Jing's personal maid couldn't stop him. She was very scared. She wondered if the young general would blame her for talking too much. Her face was full of regret.

The servant quickly asked the maid in the courtyard to report to the young general. They really couldn't afford to offend this lady!

Yan Luxue had already woken up at this time, and her heart was still beating fast when she thought of Chu Jing's madness last night.

Her personal maid came in and helped her dress and wash.

Then someone came to report that the eldest lady came to see the major general early in the morning.

Just as I was about to call Chu Jing, I saw him coming out wearing an outer coat, revealing his bronze chest. His muscles showed the man's strength, which was different from a man who had been on the battlefield.

Yan Luxue's personal maid took a sneak peek and felt her face burning. She quickly retreated.

Chu Jing came over and hugged Yan Luxue: "Go back"

Yan Luxue looked shy: "Jing'er is here, she seems very anxious, go and have a look"

Chu Jing immediately came to his senses: "This girl was the one who was clamoring for her niece!"

She resigned herself to her fate and let Yan Luxue put the clothes on her.

In the study

"Brother, do you think Wu Yu has a fiancée at home?" Chu Jing looked at her brother eagerly, hoping that he would say no.

Chu Jing was also shocked at this time. Could it be that his sister fell in love with Wu Yu?

Squinting his eyes and looking at her, it was the first time that Chu Jing was stared at like this by her brother, but she couldn't care less about it now, as she had already reached the age of marriage.

Besides, her father and mother had told her to choose her own husband.

"Hurry up and tell me." Chu Jing walked around the desk and grabbed Chu Jing's arm.

Chu Jing was somewhat helpless: "Okay, I'll tell you."

After a pause, he said, "It seems like there is a child bride in the family."

After hearing this, Chu Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "A child bride means she is still a girl, so she is not a fiancée. When she grows up, Wu Yu will be old. Isn't it inappropriate?"

Chu Jing shook his head: "Jing'er, it's not up to you to decide whether it's suitable or not. In fact, there are many good men in the army. You can..."

Chu Jing pouted and sat down on the chair next to her: "No, Wu Yu saved your life. I have heard about what happened to her on the battlefield. He must be an extraordinary person. His future is limitless."

Of course Chu Jing also knew that if Wu Yu could become the son-in-law of the Chu family now, it would be the best thing for Wu Yu. After all, being able to rely on the Chu family is something many people dream of.

But if Wu Yu really abandoned his fiancée and married his own sister instead, Wu Yu's future might have ended there.

"Even if you are interested in her, does Wu Yu also have feelings for you?"
