Chapter 215: 215 Yunyi
Chapter 215 Chapter 215 Yun Yi
In Rongfu Hall, there was even more chaos.
Grandma Wang used smelling salts on Mrs. Tai and gave her some relief. After a while, Mrs. Tai regained her composure and turned pale.
"Lingyu, what on earth did your elder brother commit?" Madam Tai said with a slightly trembling voice.
Mrs. Tai knew about the eldest son's return to the capital in the morning. She thought that the eldest son had some errands, so it was natural for him to go directly to the palace as soon as he returned to the capital. Even later when she saw that Prince Chen's palace was sealed by the Jin Yiwei, she also thought about whether it was the eldest son's contribution. .
She was waiting for her eldest son to return home and wanted to celebrate his success. Who would have thought that the eldest son had not come back and what she was waiting for was the news that he had been taken to a prison.
The more the wife thought about it, the more panicked she became. She looked at Mr. Chu Er at a loss and said, "You have to help your brother!"
In the room, all the servants were sent out, leaving only the wife and the masters and ladies in the other three rooms of the Hou Mansion. The atmosphere was solemn.
Chu Lingyu felt a little relieved when he saw that Mrs. Tai was fine.
Immediately, he frowned deeply and said angrily, "Mom, this is the emperor's decree. How can I help?! I don't know what the eldest brother has done..."
"I just want to find out the news, so I have to find a way."
Chu Lingyu also tried to find out the news, but those people were all very secretive and refused to say more.
The faces of Chu Lingting and Chu Lingtao next to them were not very good either. They both hated Chu Lingxiao for causing trouble to the family.
The title belongs to the eldest brother, and the benefits also belong to the eldest brother. However, if the eldest brother gets into trouble, the other members of the family will suffer as well.
Mrs. Liu and other female relatives were even more uneasy. They had never experienced such a thing.
The third lady, Mrs. Yu, murmured: "Mother, where are the imperial concubine and the second prince..."
She wanted to say whether she should go to Concubine Chu and Gu Nanzhao to find out information, but she couldn't continue talking halfway through.
It's already this time, even if the Madam delivers the sign to the palace now, she will definitely not have time to enter the palace today.
Mrs. Liu knew that Mrs. Tai was partial to Chu Lingxiao, so she did not dare to say anything wrong with Chu Lingxiao. She could only complain to Chu Qianchen: "Mother, Sister Chen was also in the palace at that time. She was Princess Chen, why didn't she give her anything?" The uncle is begging for mercy! He is her biological father!"
The third lady and the others also nodded frequently.
yes. Rather than embarrass them, Madam Tai would be better off going to Prince Chen's Mansion to find Chu Qianchen.
The madam glared at Mrs. Liu coldly, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Does she still need to explain such a simple truth? !
The problem is that Chu Qianchen has just discovered her life experience and is probably still angry. It is impossible for her to take the initiative to intercede for Chu Lingxiao.
The lady calmed down and asked, "Lingyu, what crime will your elder brother be convicted of?"
Chu Lingyu also inquired about this, and his face became even more ugly.
He said with difficulty: "Nine times out of ten, I will win the title."
These seven words seemed to use up all his strength.
It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured down on her head, and the wife was almost palpitating.
If the title passed down from our ancestors is gone...
Just thinking about it made her feel dizzy again, and she almost fainted again.
Nanny Wang quickly put smelling salts under Mrs. Tai's nose.
The madam took several deep breaths in succession before her breath gradually calmed down.
Chu Lingyu hesitated and said: "Mom, sister-in-law over there..."
Fifteen years ago, the Chu family encountered a catastrophe and almost lost their title. They relied on Duke Mu's government to keep their title.
So is it possible now...
The madam raised her hand and rubbed the center of her brow, feeling a throbbing pain in her forehead.
Since the day Chu Qianchen returned home from three dynasties, Mrs. Shen has taken Chu Yunmu back to her parents' home, but she has not yet returned to the Hou Mansion.
Originally, Mrs. Shen wanted to give Mrs. Shen a cold shoulder, lest she think that it was Mrs. Hou who could show off her power in the Chu family. Who wouldn't have a daughter-in-law who bows her head in front of her mother-in-law? Only Mrs. Shen has never been in front of her mother-in-law in these years. My mother had been soft before, but she still had to expose that old incident.
But now, seeing that the emperor is about to issue an order to seize the title, and the eldest son is suffering in the prison, the wife can't care about anything else.
She gritted her teeth and said resolutely: "Hurry and prepare the car, I will go to Duke Mu's mansion right away."
The carriage drove out of the Marquis' Mansion soon, and Mrs. Liu also went with it. Mrs. Liu also specially warned Mrs. Liu, hoping that she would keep a low profile towards Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Ren was thinking well, but she didn't expect that she had no chance to get in and was turned away.
"Madam, the concierge of the Duke's Mansion said that we would like to thank guests behind closed doors today."
Grandma Wang came back in despair and told the truth.
Her face didn't look good either. The Duke's government's response was too direct and she didn't even bother to give an excuse.
This shows that they know why the Chu family came.
Madam: “…”
As an in-law of Duke Mu's mansion, Mrs. Tai has never been treated as a guest when she comes here. This is the first time she has been turned away like this.
The madam's first reaction was to go back to the Marquis Mansion, but in the end she didn't say anything.
She almost crushed the Liuzhu in her hand and said to Mrs. Liu, "You go there."
Mrs. Liu's face changed from blue to purple, and she reluctantly agreed.
She got off the carriage and took Nanny Zhang to knock on the door of the Duke's Mansion.
After a while, Mrs. Liu came back with the same words. The Duke's Mansion was closed today to thank guests.
Mrs. Tai waited stubbornly outside the Duke's Mansion, hoping that the door of the Duke's Mansion would open.
However, she waited and waited, and waited, but the door of the Duke's Mansion remained closed.
The uneasiness in Mrs. Tai's heart became more and more intense.
Mrs. Liu reminded awkwardly: "Mom, curfew is about to come..."
"..." The madam's heart felt as if several holes had been poked, and the cold wind blew through her heart, chilling her heart.
In the past, no matter what happened to the Hou Mansion, Duke Mu's Mansion could take care of it. This was also the Hou Mansion's confidence.
Could it be that this time even Duke Mu's government didn't care about them? !
The madam's mouth opened slightly, and she couldn't help but lift the curtains and look at the door of the Duke's Mansion. The red lacquered door was still closed, with no sign of opening.
The madam said feebly: "Go back."
She came with great expectations and left in panic. That night, the dowager fell ill.
The Marquis was imprisoned, the Dowager fell ill, and the two sky-holding pillars of the Marquis' Mansion collapsed one after another, leaving the whole family without a backbone. People from the second, third, and fourth bedrooms were looking for news everywhere, but now the Chu family is on the cusp of the storm. , no one dared to have anything to do with them, and they all spoke vaguely.
Even Chu Yunyi, who was studying in the Imperial College, was greatly affected and was stopped outside the classroom by a group of people.
"Isn't this Brother Chu?! We haven't seen you for a few days. How is Brother Chu doing lately?"
Shi Zice shook his folding fan with a smile, looking elegant and suave. Behind him were four or five people, including Yicheng, who blocked Chu Yunyi's path.
Without waiting for Chu Yunyi to answer, Shi Zice asked and answered himself: "Hey, look at me, I can't speak. Your father is still in the prison. Brother Chu, how can you be okay?"
Anyway, they had already broken up with Chu Yunyi last time outside the Yongding Hou Mansion, and Shi Zice was too lazy to pretend to be good friends anymore, and did not hide the sarcastic smile on his face.
Chu Yunyi's eyes were full of anger, and his hands were clenched into fists. If it were in the past, he would have thrown out a sentence: A good dog doesn't block the road.
But now, the family is undergoing drastic changes, and he can no longer follow his own temper.
Chu Yunyi didn't know what happened in the imperial study room yesterday. Even his uncles at home didn't tell him much about his father and only asked him to study hard in the Imperial College.
Aside from the family members, Chu Yunyi also heard some rumors outside. He probably knew that his father was in jail for falsely accusing Prince Chen, and that his father was responsible for the siege of Prince Chen's palace by the Jinyi Guards yesterday.
When Chu Yunyi first heard about it, his mind was almost blank.
His father was so cruel. He first transferred Chu Qianchen to her when she was born, and now he made such a fuss. He wanted to put his own daughter to death... These things he did drained the last trace of Chu Yunyi's love for him. Respect.
When he came to the Imperial Academy this morning, the wife held his hand and spoke to him in a serious voice: "Brother Yi, you are the eldest grandson, and this generation of the Chu family depends entirely on you."
"Brother Yi, you have to live up to your expectations."
The exhausted look of the madam looked ten years older. Chu Yunyi had never seen her grandmother look like this before.
Grandma was right, he was the eldest grandson, and the family could only rely on him in the future.
It's time for him to grow up!
Chu Yunyi pursed her thin lips, but didn't say anything after all. She bypassed Shi Zice and others and wanted to leave.
However, Shi Zice and the others were deliberately looking for trouble, so how could they let Chu Yunyi leave so easily.
Yicheng took two steps to the right, blocking Chu Yunyi's path again, and said in a sinister tone: "Chu Yunyi, you have bad eyes or bad ears, so you didn't hear Brother Zi Ce talking to you. ?”
Shi Zice slowly shook his folding fan and said sarcastically: "Brother Chu, since you are not feeling well, you should see a doctor. What are you doing in the Imperial College? Isn't this misleading others and yourself?!"
Several followers brought by Shi Zice immediately gave him advice:
"That's right."
"Since you are sick, you should drop out of school and go home to recuperate!"
"You can't keep your student status anyway. Don't sit in the trap, be smart and drop out of school immediately."
These people were reserved at first, but they made it clear as they went. They wanted to force Chu Yunyi to drop out of the Imperial Academy, and wanted to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy, and give his place to Shi Zice.
Chu Yunyi held back the anger boiling in his chest and told himself in his heart that he was not only five years old like Chu Yunmu, he was already twelve years old.
There was too much movement here, and there were still many Imperial College supervisors around who had not yet left, and they all gathered around.
It has only been a few days since the start of the Imperial College, and the freshmen have already been divided into several factions. Some of them are close friends with Chu Yunyi, and they are all supervisors in the martial arts department. Three or four teenagers saw Chu Yunyi being bullied and strode to his side.
One of the young men in Tsing Yi raised his voice and confronted Shi Zice and the others, "This is the Imperial College, not your home. Why do you force Chu Yunyi to drop out of school?!"
"Chu Yunyi, please ignore them!"
Several teenagers cheered Chu Yunyi angrily.
There are more and more people around, and more and more people are watching and will not take sides easily.
Unless the Imperial College students are recommended by famous people, the vast majority of the Imperial College students are basically from the palaces of noble court officials. Anyone with a little knowledge in the family must get advice from their family members, knowing that Yongding Marquis Mansion will most likely fail this time. No, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my title.
In contrast, historians were frustrated during the late emperor's reign, but in recent years the Prince of Chang'an had defected to Kang Hongda. This time he also went to various states for military parades with Kang Hongda. He was highly appreciated by Kang Hongda and had a bright future.
Most people would not offend historians and add enemies to their family.
Shi Zice gave a condescending sneer and was too lazy to be polite. He called Chu Yunyi by his first name: "Chu Yunyi, if you know better, you can drop out of school quickly. We can be considered friends. How many more can I give you?" Two pieces of silver, I can help your house with my kindness."
"Otherwise, when your Yongding Marquis Mansion is raided, you, the eldest young master, will have nothing and become a beggar on the street!"
"Huh, when that time comes, if you don't drop out of school, you won't be kicked out. It will only be more embarrassing."
Shi Zice raised his chin and took two steps closer to Chu Yunyi, meeting his eyes with a heavy gaze.
Chu Yunyi's fists clenched loudly and he said coldly: "So what if I don't drop out of school!"
"Don't retreat?" Shi Zice felt that Chu Yunyi was simply toasting him and not eating, so he pointed the folding fan at his nose and said arrogantly, "If you don't retreat, you have to retreat! Do you think you still have a choice? ?”
"Yes." Chu Yunyi said one word.
Shi Zice was stunned, not understanding what Chu Yunyi meant. The next moment, he felt a pain in his right foot, and then the world was spinning. He fell to the ground and fell on all fours.
The folding fan in his hand fell out of his hand and fell down, hitting him on the forehead.
The scream of the folding fan hitting someone's forehead was really painful. Shi Zice screamed and covered his red and swollen forehead.
“…”
“…”
“…”
There was silence all around, and everyone was stunned for a moment.
Chu Yunyi has grown up and has never been ridiculed by others. He has endured it again and again. When he couldn't bear it anymore, he remembered Xue Fengyan's words: "You can't bear it anymore. There is no need to bear it anymore." ”
Chu Yunyi felt happy, caressed his robe casually, and looked around again.
Very good, this is the Imperial Academy, not the Xuanjia Camp, so he didn't break military regulations.
Chu Yunyi thought as he walked forward, his foot directly stepped on Shi Zice's wrist that was holding the folding fan. Shi Zice let out another shrill scream, even sharper than last time.
The twelve-year-old boy has bright features and a graceful appearance. His movements and gestures carry a certain arrogance, publicity and unrulyness unique to young people, like an elegant and unruly big cat.
It was in sharp contrast to Shi Zice who was screaming on the ground.
Yicheng and others were all shocked and called "Brother Zice" and "Brother Shi" one after another. Some people went to help Shi Zice, while others hurried forward to block Chu Yunyi's way again.
At this moment, a majestic questioning voice came from behind: "What are you doing around here?!"
Most of the surrounding supervisors recognized this voice, and everyone made way for the intruder.
The visitor is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a Taishi Qingzhi jacket, with narrow eyes, a bulbous nose, and a short and fat figure. As he walks slowly, the flesh on his cheeks seems to be shaking slightly. With.
The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became solemn due to the appearance of the visitor, and the air became cold.
All the supervisors bowed respectfully to the visitor and called: "Zheng Supervisor."
The Jian Cheng is a sixth-grade official who specializes in supervisory affairs and is responsible for punishing those who make mistakes in the Imperial College. Not only can he punish the prison students, but also the teachers in the Imperial College who have a doctorate or below if they violate the rules and make mistakes.
Shi Zice stood up with the help of his friend. When he saw Zheng Jiancheng, he perked up. He covered his right wrist that had been stepped on by Chu Yunyi and complained excitedly: "Zheng Jiancheng, you came just in time, Chu Yun Yi just hit me and kicked me, so many people saw it with their own eyes!"
"If you hadn't come here, he might have seriously injured me."
The more Shi Zice talked, the more excited he became, his face flushed.
His right wrist was in pain, and the severe pain made his facial features look a little ferocious. The swelling on his forehead seemed to have swollen again, and the robes on his body were still stained with dust and grass clippings, making him look miserable.
At this moment, Shi Zice didn't care about getting dressed, he just wanted to teach Chu Yunyi a lesson.
Today, he must drive Chu Yunyi out of the Imperial College, otherwise his surname will not be Shi!
Yicheng and others beside him immediately echoed:
"That's right!"
"Zheng Jiancheng, the Imperial College cannot keep people with corrupt moral character like Chu Yunyi!"
“…”
Anyone with any brains could see that Shi Zice and the others wanted to use this incident to get Zheng Jiancheng to expel Chu Yunyi from the Imperial College.
