Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild-Chapter 32 - Not Entirely Useless

In the study room of the Chu Mansion.

"Lord, there's news from the concubine side. After being stabbed on the waist, Chu Silin is now lying on the bed and crying out in pain."

Chu Yun walked in and gloatingly reported the news.

They had already suspected that Chu Silin had something to do with the matter, and it indeed turned out to be him.

Chu Silin had suffered the consequences of his own actions.

Chu Sihan placed down the documents in his hands and just coldly laughed without saying anything.

"Sihan." Suddenly, a voice interrupted them.

Madam Chu entered the room led by a maid.

"Mom, it's so late. Why haven't you slept yet?"

Chu Sihan rushed up and sat her down.

"I came here to discuss the engagement with you."

As she mentioned this engagement, Madam Chu also felt troubled.

In Huang Yang Town, Shuangguan Linger was the only girl who could match her son.

However, they could not brush away the National Advisor's words and had no choice but to have their son lower himself and marry a farm girl.

However, they could still discuss with the Shangguan Family to see if Shuangguan Linger could become a formal wife as well.

After all, the Chu Family was huge in numbers and riches. How could an uneducated farm girl manage the family?

Chu Sihan smiled. "Mother, I still have some cases unsolved. Let's talk about the rest in the future."

"I know that you don't want to marry a useless commoner. But the National Advisor's words always come true. We only have one son. If anything happens to you, what will we do?"

As Madam Chu said this, she even dabbled the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief.

Useless?

Chu Sihan shook his head and smiled. "Miss Lu is exceptionally beautiful, and she's not entirely useless."

Plus, she might know some other stuff.

Chu Yun, who was listening at the side, frowned.

When did Lord become so shallow?

"Beautiful?" The words took Madam Chu by surprise. "You've seen her?"

"A few times."

"What do you think?"

Chu Sihan smiled and said, "Mother, you don't need to be so anxious. Aren't there ten more years? I still have a long way to go with Miss Lu."

"Are you saying that… you're willing to marry Miss Lu?"

Madam Chu was surprised.

She remembered that her son had strongly opposed this engagement. In order to reject it, he had even rushed all the way back here.

But after seeing Miss Lu, he had changed his mind and even praised her beauty.

How beautiful must she be that my son learned how to praise someone?

"Then for Linger…"

She tentatively asked.

Shuangguan Linger had been frequently visiting the Chu Mansion for the past few days, but Chu Sihan always came up with an excuse to say he was busy. Madam Chu was also uncertain of what her son thought.

"What's wrong with Miss Shangguan?" Chu Sihan indifferently asked.

"Do you…"

When Chu Sihan heard it, a hint of impatience appeared on his cold face. "I have no feelings toward Miss Shangguan."

He knew what the two families had decided in private. Precisely because he knew it, he avoided Shuangguan Linger like a plague.

"But Miss Lu is only a farm girl, and she doesn't even know how to read. How can she manage the family affairs for you? You need a wife who can help you."

Chu Sihan calmly asked, "So you want me to marry the both of them?"

"Well… I'm doing it for your own good!" madam Chu subconsciously retorted.

Chu Sihan coldly smiled. "Did you forget how little brother died?"

When Chu Sihan mentioned 'little brother,' Madam Chu's face paled.

The old Mr. Chu had a formal wife called Madam Jiang. Although he greatly adored her at the start, she lost his affection after years of not being able to have children.

On the other hand, Madam Chu gave Mr. Chu two sons. From a young age, Chu Sihan had been bright and was her source of pride.

Madam Jiang wanted to eliminate him and torture Madam Chu. Hence, she had once added poison to Chu Sihan's pastries.

However, Chu Sihan didn't eat those pastries. The one who ate them was the hungry Chu Siyun, and he eventually died from poisoning.

Afterward, when it was discovered that Madam Jiang was the culprit, Mr. Chu had sent her to jail in a fury. She died there not long later.
