Chapter 376: She Didn’t Know
Not long after Chu Hongqing’s family left, a nanny came in to report that it was snowing again.
Matriarch Chu was elated. She wanted Chu Sihan to stay behind to chat with her and leave when the snow stopped.
Unexpectedly, when she looked over, Chu Sihan had already stood up.
“I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t stay any longer.”
“Why can’t you wait until tomorrow to do it? It’s still snowing outside.”
Mdm Chu, who walked out of her gloomy mood, spoke softly.
“It’s something important.”
Chu Sihan received the cloak from Nanny Kong and put it on. He looked at Mdm Chu and said lightly, “If Mother has nothing to do, you can stay here and accompany Grandmother more. I’ll make a trip to the Chu Mansion.”
Then, he walked out without turning back.
Matriarch Chu sighed softly. “This child went out again after returning home.”
She looked at Mdm Chu and said lightly, “It’s getting late. Go back first. I’m a little tired too.”
“Yes!”
Mdm Chu stood up and bowed slightly.
She knew that Matriarch Chu did not like her. If her son had not asked her to stay, she probably did not want to stay any longer.
“In the future, try not to get involved in Han Er’s matters lest he grudges you.”
Matriarch Chu looked at her and advised her kindly.
Mdm Chu disapproved. “Han Er has always been like this. He doesn’t like to talk to others since he was young.”
She felt that she had given birth to Chu Sihan. Even if he had complaints, he would not ignore her.
Seeing her leave, Matriarch Chu shook her head and sighed.
“Matriarch, Mdm…”
Nanny Kong looked hesitantly at Matriarch Chu.
Matriarch Chu shook her head. “She doesn’t know.”
She initially did not know that Chu Sihan was not a child of the Chu Mansion.
It was just that two years ago, when Chu Hongzhong returned, she happened to have something to discuss with him. However, she accidentally heard Chu Hongzhong’s conversation with a man.
When she first heard it, she was very shocked. After the man left, she rushed in and asked her eldest son.
It was only then that she realized that her real eldest grandson had died a long time ago.
As for Chu Sihan, he was that man’s child.
Later on, she learned that her grandson was still alive and had been saved by that man. However, he would only wake up after a few years.
Although Chu Sihan was not the Chu Mansion’s biological child, the glory he had brought to the Chu Mansion over the years made Matriarch Chu very satisfied.
To her, the Chu Mansion’s glory trumped everything, and Chu Sihan had the ability to make the Chu Mansion prosper forever.
At least, he had given the Chu Mansion a certain status in Huang Yang Town and even the entire Xuan Yue Country.
This was also the reason why she had not participated in Chu Sihan’s private affairs all these years.
When she found out that Chu Sihan liked Lu Sheng, she, who had always thought that a marriage between families had to be compatible, unexpectedly supported him.
She did not ask for anything else from Chu Sihan. She only hoped that he would be safe.
As long as Chu Sihan was safe and sound, the Chu Mansion’s status in Huang Yang Town would be unshakeable.
Of course, other than that, she did treat Chu Sihan as her biological grandson.
After all, she had spent more time with Chu Sihan than the child who had died before they met.
Humans were not plants. Moreover, Chu Sihan grew up under her.
“It’s good that she doesn’t know.”
Nanny Kong said indifferently, “With Mdm’s personality, if she knew of Lord’s identity, she would probably get into an argument with Old Master.”
“As long as you and I don’t say anything, and Zhong Er doesn’t say anything, no one will know that Han Er is not a biological child of our Chu Mansion.”
“Matriarch, don’t worry. I will definitely not tell anyone about this secret.”
Towards Nanny Kong, Matriarch Chu was still very assured. She was the only old woman who had followed her from young to old.
