Chapter 314 He will always be Chu Zhaoming’s eldest son!
In the dilapidated courtyard of the Marquis of Changping's Mansion, a withered osmanthus tree stood quietly. As the sun set, Chu Ziyu gently stroked the tree trunk, feeling the rough texture, as if he could touch the traces left by his parents. An unspeakable grief welled up in his heart.
"Dad, Mom, did you see this? You have finally been vindicated, and His Majesty has restored all your past honors..."
His voice was filled with deep sorrow, and there was a stream of clarity in his eyes.
Chu Nanyue looked at his elder brother who looked mournful, patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, our parents in heaven will definitely see this, and they will be proud of you!"
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Chu Ziyu thought with a lost heart, "...will I really be proud of my elder brother?"
Chu Nanyue smiled and replied: "Of course, my elder brother is so outstanding that he won the title of the new top scholar in one go. Otherwise, who else could do such a heaven-defying thing?"
She didn't know that the request from the new champion was just a prelude. The real reason why the emperor agreed to re-examine the Chu family case was that the Night Dragon Army found out that the person who poisoned their Beixiao army in the past was Chu Zhaoyu...
Chu Ziyu's gaze passed through the dead branches and leaves and looked into the distant sky, as if he really saw the smiles of his parents' spirits in heaven.
Then, he retracted his gaze and laughed at himself: "But my eldest brother is a... evildoer..."
Chu Nanyue was confused: "What are you talking about, brother?"
Chu Ziyu smiled bitterly: "Ayue, think about it, considering the kind of person your father is, how could he force your mother who already had a fiancé?"
Chu Nanyue stared at him blankly, frowned and said: "...So it was mom who forced dad?"
The original owner’s mother was pretty good, it turns out she had fallen in love with someone else a long time ago!
Chu Ziyu: “!!!”
He frowned and looked at her, not knowing how to proceed.
My sister's love affair has relapsed.
Chu Nanyue didn't care about these complicated details. She said with regret: "Brother, do you think I am incompatible with the identity of a princess?"
Chu Ziyu said sullenly, "Isn't the identity of Princess Yan enough to satisfy you?"
Chu Nanyue shook her head and said, "It's different. The title of Princess is the dignity I was born with, but the Princess of Yan requires me to devote my whole life to protecting her. There is no comparison, okay?"
Chu Ziyu felt that his sister was right. He lowered his eyes and said seriously, "Ayue, you are a smart girl. No matter where you are in the future, it will be fine!"
Chu Nanyue pouted and said, "Ah? Is that so? I thought big brother would say that he would take care of you for the rest of your life." After a pause, she added another accusation, "Humph, big brother is really a stingy marquis!"
Because of the rehabilitation of the original owner's biological father Chu Zhaoming, Chu Ziyu has now inherited Chu Zhaoming's identity as Marquis of Changping, but Chu Nanyue lost her identity as a princess again because she switched to being a disciple of the Loyal and Brave Grand Tutor!
Let me ask you, is she wronged?
She eats everything without leaving any residue and does everything in a hurry!
The key is that no one can understand her yet!
And everyone thinks that she should be a weed, and she will shine brightly no matter where she is thrown!
The huge gap made her want to eat a big meal to vent her anger.
She did it right away. She stood up, holding her belly and said, "Brother, you can remember our parents alone. I will go back to the mansion to prepare a full banquet. Remember to bring sister-in-law to the Prince of Yan's mansion for dinner tonight!"
Chu Ziyu looked at his sister who didn't care about anything, and suddenly called her, "I am Chu Zhaoyu's son!"
Chu Nanyue paused, looked back in disbelief and said, "Brother...what are you talking about?"
Chu Ziyu smiled bitterly: "The person who forced my mother back then was not my father, but the evil, crazy and perverted Chu Zhaoyu, and I actually have the blood of such a person in my body..."
I originally thought that it would be very embarrassing to speak it out, but I didn't expect that once the secret that had been suppressed in my heart for many days was revealed, it would be so relaxing.
He let out a long breath and continued, "In a few days, I plan to report to His Majesty..."
Chu Nanyue came back to his senses and immediately said sharply: "So, big brother wants to report the truth to His Majesty? And then go to the Dali Temple? Lose arms and legs? Or be beheaded? And the baby in my sister-in-law's belly will also be born with the reputation of being the son of a traitor..."
Looking at his sister's serious scolding, Chu Ziyu pursed his lips and said, "I am not so pedantic. I just want to resign from my post to His Majesty. I don't want to stay in the court with such a shameful identity!"
Chu Nanyue suddenly raised her voice and said, "You are not old-fashioned? If you are not old-fashioned, why would you resign from your post to His Majesty? If you are not old-fashioned, how can you think that your status is unbearable? Moreover, is there any necessary connection between the two? Can resigning from your post change the blood in your bones?
If your heart is not at peace, you will feel unbearable no matter where you are! "
"I......"
Chu Ziyu's face turned red and he opened his mouth, but he was speechless!
Chu Nanyue smiled: "Chu Zhaoyu only gave birth to you, but did not educate you. Instead, he harmed you many times. Therefore, you don't have to worry about those empty blood inheritances. Besides, your inherent values and righteousness are invisibly influenced by our parents. These have nothing to do with Chu Zhaoyu!
Resign? Why do you want to resign? Is it easy for a newly crowned top scholar to succeed in high school? You should stand tall and proud in the court like our father, use your talent and wisdom to benefit the people, be loyal to the country, and make sure there is no more injustice in this world!
Remember, no matter what time, you are the eldest son of your father Chu Zhaoming and mother, their pride, and the support of my sister-in-law and me! "
His sister's words were like a ray of sunshine, illuminating the gloom that had been in Chu Ziyu's heart for many days.
He held his sister's hand and said excitedly: "Yes, I will always be Chu Zhaoming's eldest son..."
Not only did his parents repeatedly emphasize this in the past, but now even his sister said so, so why should he worry about it so much...
"From now on, Big Brother will never belittle himself again!"
Chu Nanyue smiled with relief: "Brother, you are right to think so. We will remain the same as before. Now, not only has Big Brother inherited my father's title of Marquis of Changping, but he is also going to serve as an official in the court. From now on, I can walk sideways!"
Chu Ziyu smiled dotingly: "Yes! Big brother will protect you for the rest of your life!"
At such a sentimental moment, a very inappropriate and cold remark was made.
"Isn't it enough for you to be satisfied even though I'm here to cover for you?"
