Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild Chapter 371 - Congratulations, Cousin

Chapter 371: Congratulations, Cousin

In the evening, at Chu Mansion.
Chu Sihan had just washed up and returned to the front courtyard, preparing to pay his respects to Matriarch Chu.
A group of four people walked towards him.
“Sihan is here too?”
Chu Hongqing walked over with a smile.
“Uncle, Aunt.”
Chu Sihan greeted faintly.
Mdm Jiang nodded slightly and looked at Chu Sihan with an indignant expression.
Chu Sihan was only a year older than Chu Silin. However, when Chu Sihan was sixteen, he was already famous for being the youngest scholar in Xuan Yue Country.
As for Chu Silin, he was already nineteen, but he didn’t have much achievements.
Mdm Jiang felt that it was not that her son was not outstanding, but that Chu Sihan was too outstanding. That was why her son’s limelight was overshadowed.
When Chu Silin saw Chu Sihan, he felt a little guilty.
He did not know how Chu Sihan reached Lu Sheng last time, nor did he know if it was an illusion or reality.
If it was just an illusion, it would be alright. However, if it was reality, it meant that Chu Sihan was definitely not ordinary.
“Silin, why aren’t you speaking to your cousin?”
Chu Hongqing turned back and looked suspiciously at Chu Silin.
He had always respected Chu Sihan, his nephew. He also felt that he was the Chu Mansion’s pride.
Because of Chu Sihan, those who despised him in the past and called him the son of a businessman had to address him respectfully as Second Master Chu when they saw him now.
He also deeply understood that the respect those people had for him and the entire Chu Mansion was brought over by Chu Sihan.
“Cousin.”
Chu Silin shouted without lifting his head.
Chu Sihan glanced at him indifferently before returning his gaze to Chu Hongqing. “Uncle also wants to pay his respects to Grandmother?”
From the moment Shangguan Linger saw Chu Sihan, her eyes were on him.
However, he looked at everyone, including Chu Silin, but ignored her.
She bit her lip. Other than resentment, there was more unwillingness in her heart.
She had waited for him for so many years and yearned for him to marry her. Who knew that Lu Sheng would benefit from the State Minister’s casual words?
Since he was unwilling to marry her, he could not blame her for standing opposite him in the future.
When she thought of this, Shangguan Linger’s face became ferocious.
“Yes and no.”
Chu Hongqing smiled and said, “You know Miss Shangguan, right? She’s Magistrate Shangguan’s daughter, Linger.”
As he spoke, he turned back to look at Shangguan Linger and continued, “She and Silin are in love. I came over to ask your grandmother’s opinion and see when it’s appropriate for Silin to marry Miss Shangguan.”
“In love?”
Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows in surprise and his gaze landed on Chu Silin. With a faint sneer on his face, he said, “Congratulations, Cousin.”
Chu Silin sneered and did not speak.
However, the fury in his heart was burning fiercely.
How could he not see the mockery in Chu Sihan’s eyes?
No one knew better than him why Shangguan Linger suddenly agreed to marry him.
However, he did like Shangguan Linger. She suddenly agreed to marry him. Naturally, the joy was greater than the doubt.
Hence, when Shangguan Linger came to find him today, he told his parents about this, hoping that they could persuade Matriarch Chu to personally go to the Shangguan Mansion to play the matchmaker.
“Sihan, you came back at the right time. Follow me to tell your grandmother about your cousin’s marriage.”
As Chu Hongqing spoke, he pulled Chu Sihan towards Matriarch Chu’s courtyard.
Chu Sihan smiled faintly but did not refuse.
