Chapter 967 Chu Huairan, A Dissolute Coward
The fourth young master of Grand Prince’s Mansion had hooked up with the daughter of the Di family. They had an affair and had a child. After that, she married Ningyuan Army General and raised the child as the First Miss of the Qin family, a vicious and unrestrained First Miss.
Fortunately, the First Miss married into her mother’s family in the end. The people she harmed were no others but Madam Di’s family members. It served them right. As a man sows, so does he reap.
But Ningyuan Army General was pathetic. He had raised and loved his daughter for more than ten years, but it turned out she was the biological daughter of another man. Lucky for him, he found himself another wife. It was said that on the day he learned the fact, Ningyuan Army General divorced Madam Di and sent her back to the Di’s Mansion without giving her any property. From then on, he and Madam Di had nothing to do with each other.
It was understandable for him to do this. If Ningyuan Army General didn’t have a wife and a son now, he would be mad with anger. Madam Di was indebted to him for what she had done. Ningyuan Army General was going to serve the country as an envoy in Xu State. When such a thing happened at this time, many people couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Sometimes, even a great man might get a wife and a child without morals.
Grand Prince’s Mansion, which had always kept a low profile, lost its reputation because of this matter.
After Qin Huaiyong left for Xu State, somehow, everyone shifted their attention to Grand Prince’s Mansion. Maybe it was because the matter was exposed to the public.
Duke Yong’s Mansion was gone and they had left the capital city. Now, in the capital, only Grand Prince’s Mansion was related to this matter.
Qin Yuru was forced to give up her marriage by Madam Di. Yet she was still the biological daughter of the Fourth Young Master Chu. Now that she would be sentenced to death, wasn’t there anyone from the Grand Prince’s Mansion to visit her?
According to some well-informed people, even Princess Chen, who used to be at odds with First Miss Qin and had been framed by her several times, had generously gone to the prison to visit her once. However, the Fourth Young Master Chu, also her biological father, had never visited her once.
Grand Prince’s Mansion appeared to be so heartlessly indifferent to their family member!
Early in the morning, Chu Huairan was called over by his father.
He had just come out of a concubine’s room, looking like he had not woken up. His shirt was even misaligned. It was obvious that he had come in a hurry.
He yawned as he entered the room. Then, he said after greetings. “It’s so early. What’s so urgent? I want to have a good sleep!”
A teacup was smashed right into him, and Chu Huairan dodged it very quickly. After all, he had been smashed several times. How could he react slowly?
“Please say whatever you want to. How could you hit me without saying a word?” Chu Huairan sobered up and said impatiently.
“You bastard, are you asking me to say what evil things you’ve done? Shame on you!” Seeing his fourth son like this, the Grand Prince became furious.
“It’s not the first time I’ve behaved like this. It has been for so many years. Why do you have to make trouble with me?” Chu Huairan said disapprovingly. He sat down on a chair on one side, picked up the tea, and took a sip.
“You bastard, how dare you to say that!” Grand Prince looked at the side, grabbed something, and was about to smash it down again.
“If you don’t talk nicely, I’ll leave. Won’t you feel tired when smashing things all day long?” Chu Huairan snorted unhappily. He was extremely dissatisfied with his father’s disturbance in the early morning. He could have slept longer with his beloved concubine if not for him.
It’s just an illegitimate daughter! No big deal!
“An illegitimate daughter worths little. Anyway, she’s going to die. Your life won’t change with or without her!” Chu Huairan said.
He really had a lot of daughters. Some of them were kept in his own yard, and some were raised elsewhere. Even he himself didn’t know how many daughters he had. Anyway, for him, those who lived in other people’s families were, of course, the daughters of others.
Qin Yuru was surnamed Qin, so she had to do with him.
The first time he saw Madam Di, a good-looking woman, he wanted to hook up with her within a short period. Unexpectedly, she was born to be a bitch. She took the initiative to get close to him even before he took any action. After spending some time together, they had sex, and she actually asked him to marry her!
How could it be possible? He had a wife who was his cousin and grew up with him. How could he divorce his wife for Madam Di? Since then, Chu Huairan ignored Madam Di. When Madam Di married far away, she sent him a letter saying that she was pregnant with his baby!
So what? Was he the kind of person who lacked children?
Neither daughters nor sons were important to him. He just ignored the letter and threw it aside. When Madam Di married far away, he watched the whole thing indifferently as if he was an outsider.
Then he simply left this matter behind!
Only when the truth was beginning to come out did he remember it again. How could others be so interested in the matter that happened so many years ago? It was really annoying.
“An illegitimate daughter? She is the illegitimate daughter of Ningyuan Army General!” Grand Prince became angrier because of his son’s careless attitude.
“What’s wrong with Qin Huaiyong? He’s not the only one who is cuckolded!” argued Chu Huairan. Seeing his father glaring at him and wanting to smash something again, he immediately tried to calm him down. “Well, all right. Qin Huaiyong’s different. He’s a hero who has contributed a lot to the country. And I’m a useless loser! But now everything has happened, what else can I do? Can I send Qin Yuru back to Madam Di’s belly?”
Hearing his even more absurd words, Grand Prince turned so angry that his whole body started trembling. He couldn’t believe such a vile spawn was his son! If he had known this, he would have strangled him to death when he was born so that he would never harm his family.
“Go and see Qin Yuru!” Putting down the ornaments in his hands, Grand Prince shouted angrily.
“Seriously?” Chu Huairan yelled and violently shook his head. “No, I won’t go. She is ruthless enough even to murder her mother, let alone me. If I go there, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back alive.”
His frightened look enraged Grand Prince even more. He was even afraid that his daughter would hurt him! What a useless son!
“She is your daughter. Won’t you go and see her? Now you are the closet person to her in the capital city!” Grand Prince said, trying hard to suppress his anger.
“So what? I haven’t been there for her for so many years, and she’s all right!” Chu Huairan kept shaking his head. He really didn’t want to see Qin Yuru. When she arrived at his mansion, he just took a look at her and told the truth. He said that she was his daughter and Madam Di’s evidence was true.
But that was all. How could he bear any responsibility to her? He remembered that his father was very happy to get such a granddaughter. He even drove him out and talked a lot with Qin Yuru.
He didn’t hear those words, but it could be seen that his father was very happy. Thus, he didn’t have any burden on the acceptance of this illegitimate daughter. After that, he repeatedly said that he would ask the Emperor for a title to save Qin Yuru’s reputation.
Chu Huairan felt that these things had little to do with him. Since his father had taken it over, what else could he do? He didn’t care about it, but it would be fine if this matter was settled.
But to their surprise, Qin Yuru was so vicious that she burned her biological mother to death on the way to their mansion. After knowing the news, Chu Huairan decided that he would never see this daughter again. Qin Yuru was not a delicate and weak daughter at all but a deadly vicious one.
Now that Madam Di was dead, it would be his turn next!
“Go to see her today and bring her some food and clothing. No matter what, she is a descendant of our family.” The longer Grand Prince looked at his good-for-nothing son, the more he disliked him. However, no matter how much he disliked him, there was nothing he could do to change the reality. At present, only Chu Huairan’s appearance could save their reputation.
“Why are you staring at me? Who would want a vicious daughter like her? Anyway, I don’t want her. Didn’t you admire her a lot before? I won’t go. You can just go there and show off your affection for her. You don’t even have to take it sincerely! Anyway, we would break it off with her before long. ”
Chu Huairan said with an ugly smile.
He really didn’t want to go. In fact, he thought that it was better for his father to take care of all the things. It was his father who hurriedly went to get into contact with Qin Yuru. It was now the perfect time for him to take care of her. How could his father let him do this?
Chu Huairan was just a rich playboy who never achieved anything. All he wanted to do was live a comfortable life. He did not have so much energy to do other things.
Recently, it hadn’t been easy for those sons of rich families in the capital city to maintain their cozy life. Especially when the group of playboys learned that Prince Chen broke Second Young Master Qu’s arm, they gathered together and decided that they should have a good rest for a period of time. Otherwise, who knew what would happen? Anyway, it was certain that they had to experience a tough time recently.
This was also the reason why Chu Huairan didn’t go out last night and only had fun in his own manor.
Anyway, he had made up his mind that he would never go to see Qin Yuru. He would rather die than meet her. In his mind, she was a terrifying woman who killed her mother. If he went to have a look at her, maybe he would have nightmares every day in the future and could never have a good time.
Grand Prince also regretted that he got some wishful thinking upon reading Madam Di’s letter.
In the letter, she said that many women were raised in Duke Yong’s Mansion. It seemed that a royal was behind Duke Yong’s Mansion in supporting those women. As for who this person was, Grand Prince thought it must be one of the men he knew. If he kept digging through the clues, he would definitely get something worthwhile.
This was also the reason why he immediately recognized Qin Yuru as a family member and talked nicely with her for a long time.
Grand Prince’s Mansion was in a decline. Most of the sons were quite disappointing and only a few became a little competitive. However, they could barely manage to maintain the achievements of their predecessors. The fall of Grand Prince’s Mansion was inevitable as they grew farther and farther apart from the royal family members. They needed a good opportunity. Then there came Qin Yuru, their chance to revive.
No matter who was behind Duke Yong’s Mansion, it was good to find out the secret or use it as a bargaining chip.
Unexpectedly, before he could figure it out, Qin Yuru was exposed. Even the matter of concubine market was found out. At that time, Grand Prince knew he could no longer get anything from her...
