Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chapter 307 - 307 306 Recognizing Relatives

?Chapter 307: Chapter 306: Recognizing Relatives Chapter 307: Chapter 306: Recognizing Relatives After Mr. Chu became disabled, his temperament changed drastically and he became unpredictable. His father, the Marquis, and his deceased mother cherished him. His brothers indulged him, which led to his unhealthy habits of indulgence in pleasure, slumbering under flowering trees, and loitering under willows.

Though it was not common for men in the Chu family to take concubines, the matriarch found it necessary to bring in two chambermaids for Mr. Chu in an attempt to rein him in. One chambermaid, cunning as she was, slipped him a contraceptive soup, bore him his first illegitimate son, and ascended to the position of Auntie Fang.

Having become disabled and fathering an illegitimate son only made it more difficult for Mr. Chu to find a wife.

It wasn’t until he was nineteen that a wife was found for him, who is now known as Mrs. Chu. Mrs. Chu’s father originally held a small official rank of level eight. Marquis Chu helped advance his rank by two levels and secured for him a considerably gainful position in order for him to agree to offer his daughter’s hand in marriage.

Mrs. Chu was fairly attractive, with fair and delicate features and a prestigious origin in an official family. Initially, Mr. Chu quite liked her and even accepted a small official position his family had offered him, intending to reform himself, manage household affairs, and create a stable life for his wife and children. However, as time went by, it was revealed that Mrs. Chu was narrow-minded, lacking in manners, and greedy. These flaunting flaws frequently became the subject of mockery.

Mr. Chu fell into sorrow again, and his old flaws re-emerged.

While he might have been deficient in other areas, he had a knack for fathering children. While Mr. Chu’s oldest and youngest brothers only had two children each, he had five ? two sons and three daughters.

They are Chu Lingqi, the older son, who is nineteen and the illegitimate firstborn; Chu Ling’an, the younger son and legitimate child, is seventeen; Chu Zhen, his legitimate eldest daughter, is fourteen; Chu Lin and Chu Bi, the two illegitimate daughters, are both nine.
