Chapter 338 Chapter 338 Provocation

"..." Chu Lingxiao opened his mouth slightly, still a little doubtful, but in his heart he almost hoped that this was true.

In fact, there are many fat people in the court. It depends on whether you have such a path. In the past, the Chu family did not have such a path. But when you reach the position of King Chen and Kang Hongda, it is too easy to promote someone. To put it harshly, they are pigs. Can also take off.

Chu Lingxiao had seen this kind of thing too many times in the officialdom. Many people who were not as good as him had risen through the ranks just because of the "opportunity".

All he lacked was an opportunity.

Chu Lingyu was so angry that he almost blew his beard and stared, shouting at the top of his voice: "Brother, don't listen to what she said!"

"She is coaxing you now. Don't forget that it is because of her and King Chen that you were exiled."

"Your daughter is just a heartless white-eyed wolf. Can't you see it? She has been resenting your father. How could she be so kind to help you?"

Chu Lingyu tried to wake up Chu Lingxiao, who had been confused by Chu Qianchen's sweet words.

No matter how loud Chu Lingyu yelled or what Chu Lingxiao was thinking, Chu Qianchen never refuted a word. He just sat there calmly and calmly, and even invited Mrs. Shen to have snacks, saying that the Poria Cake tasted good and so on. , gossiping about common things, in sharp contrast to Chu Lingyu's excitement.

Shen didn't know what her daughter wanted to do at first, but she was a smart person, and now she vaguely guessed it. She followed her daughter's words and responded casually, pretending that the Chu family around them didn't exist.

Others in the room were also drinking tea, but they were absent-minded. They couldn't help but glance at Chu Qianchen from time to time, each with their own thoughts.

The most anxious people among them were probably Chu Lingyu and Liu from the second room. On the one hand, they believed that Chu Qianchen was lying and playing some tricks, but on the other hand, they were afraid, what if it was true?

In this weird atmosphere, time passed very slowly, especially Chu Lingyu, who was feeling anxious.

I don’t know how long it took, but someone came to report in advance that Miss Jiang Yuan was back.

As a result, everyone's eyes were looking towards the direction of the door curtain.

Then, Jiang Yuan came in. She didn't come empty-handed, she had an extra document in her hand.

Both Chu Lingxiao and Chu Lingyu were familiar with this kind of document. The documents issued by the Ministry of Personnel had a fixed style, and this was obviously an appointment document.

Could this be...

Chu Lingxiao's eyes were bright with excitement, while Chu Lingyu's face was ashen.

Without even looking at the document, Chu Qianchen ordered Jiang Yuan, "Take it over and show it to them."

Jiang Yuan followed the order, walked to Chu Lingxiao, and then opened the appointment letter to him.

Chu Lingxiao caught the three words "Chu Lingxiao" at a glance, with the red seal of the Ministry of Officials stamped at the end.

Chu Lingxiao was convinced that this was a genuine appointment letter. No matter how arrogant Gu Jue was, he would not be able to forge the official appointment document. Otherwise, wouldn't this be giving evidence to the emperor for nothing? !

"Mom, look." Chu Lingxiao's lips couldn't help but raise, she was so happy that she went crazy.

Mrs. Tai and Chu Lingyu also came over to take a look, and they were all convinced. This is indeed an appointment document that has just been signed by the Ministry of Personnel. Even the cinnabar seal in the lower left corner is still new and seems to be slightly moist.

Madam Tai was surprised, but Chu Lingyu was horrified.

Chu Lingxiao eagerly wanted to take the appointment letter, but Jiang Yuan quickly stepped back and avoided it quickly. She only gave Chu Lingxiao an extremely indifferent look, and then she closed the appointment letter and returned to Chu Lingxiao. Around Qian Chen.

Chu Lingxiao stared at the appointment letter with burning eyes, reluctant to look away, feeling that the bright future seemed within reach.

When he was in Youzhou, he dreamed many times in the middle of the night that he had regained his title and lived a life of fine clothing and fine food. However, when he woke up from the dream, he was in poverty, and his life was worse than that of a dog.

But now, the turning point of fate finally appears ahead.

If Chu Lingxiao was doubtful about Chu Qianchen before, now he is eighty-nine percent convinced.

He felt that Chu Qianchen might have hated and complained about him, but blood was thicker than water. He was her biological father after all. If he was good to her, it would be good for both father and daughter.

Chu Qianchen took the appointment document, shook it casually, and looked at Chu Lingyu with a smile: "Then I will wrong my second uncle."

"Chu Qianchen, what on earth do you want to do!" Chu Lingyu stood up with a slap on the table, his red and swollen "pig-headed face" as ferocious as a demon, "Since I have obtained the appointment letter, then the job is done, why do you need me to go? Youzhou!”

Mrs. Liu also nodded and said bitterly: "You are taking revenge!"

Ms. Liu determined that Chu Qianchen must be taking revenge on their second wife, whom she had long held a grudge against.

Chu Qianchen smiled, holding the appointment letter in his right hand and tapping it twice on the palm of his left hand. With a bit of careless contempt, he said calmly: "Originally, it was not necessary, but my second uncle insisted on my brother. To 'sacrifice' and to 'suffer', I think my second uncle should also 'sacrifice'. "

Chu Qianchen didn't hide her intentions at all, making it clear that she was retaliating with retaliation, she was retaliating with retaliation, she was standing up for Chu Yunyi.

“…”

“…”

“…”

The room fell silent again.

Everyone was shocked that Chu Qianchen said such words, but also couldn't believe that she helped Chu Yunyi teach Chu Lingyu a lesson in this way.

"Absurd!" Chu Lingyu blurted out, his "pig-headed face" turned blood red, as if it had been smeared with cinnabar.

Both Mrs. Tai and Chu Lingxiao were very excited.

Previously, Mrs. Tai felt that Chu Qianchen's proposal to send his uncle to Youzhou was disrespectful to his elders, but now he was shaken. Chu Qianchen is willing to stand up for her half-brother and find a good job for her biological father. This shows that although she has a bit of a surly temperament, she is not without the Chu family in her heart.

Chu Qianchen continued: "Second uncle is really good at planning. He wants to sacrifice my brother Yi to find a title for you."

She gently and deftly revealed Chu Lingyu's thoughts with just one sentence. Chu Lingyu seemed to have been stripped naked in public, showing an embarrassed look.

Chu Lingxiao seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed, his eyes were cloudy and uncertain.

"Father, if this job is done well, this title can be given to you again." Chu Qianchen looked at Chu Lingxiao again, and threw the bait with a smile, "For the relationship between this, father is not as good as grandmother and second uncle. Think about it."

"I'm not very patient. Please think about it quickly. As for the appointment letter, I will only keep it for ten days. If no reply is given..."

Chu Qianchen paused meaningfully and pretended to tear up the appointment letter. Chu Lingxiao turned pale with fright.

"Don't!" Chu Lingxiao shouted quickly.

For Chu Lingxiao, this was his only chance to turn around.

Chu Lingxiao looked at Chu Lingyu with a gloomy look, holding the armrest of the chair tightly with one hand. The biggest question now is how to make Chu Lingyu "willingly" go to Youzhou.

Chu Lingyu's face turned red, green, and white for a while, and he said with a bit of anger: "Mom, brother, don't let Chu Qianchen lead you away! She must have bad intentions!"

"Mom, it's ridiculous to send my master to Youzhou just for uncle's errand." Mrs. Liu said sharply, "It was uncle who committed the crime and was punished by the emperor, not my master!"

The room was filled with sharp curses from Chu Lingyu and his wife.

Chu Qianchen didn't care how much the family quarreled and argued, so he took Shen and resigned together.

"Mom, let's go."

Chu Qianchen held Shen's hand affectionately, pursed her lips and smiled. When she faced Shen, she looked like a well-behaved and considerate little cotton-padded jacket. She was completely different from the way she had played with people's hearts in the palm of her hand while talking and laughing.

Mrs. Shen just looked at her and her heart became calm. She didn't mention Heli again and walked out of Rongfu Hall with her daughter.

After stepping out of the main room and down the steps, Ms. Shen looked up at the sky and felt suddenly enlightened.

"Mom," Chu Qianchen smiled brightly and whispered to Shen, "Don't be in a hurry."

Of course, Heli must reconcile, but this matter cannot be relieved by just being alone. After Shen learned the truth about her daughter being transferred to a subcontractor last year, she has been holding in her anger and almost died. Chu Qianchen knew not to let Shen If Shi let out such a breath, it would only hurt her more and more, and it would become a worry for her.

Since Mr. Shen is determined to reconcile, it would be better to do it more happily. Let them fall out first, vent their anger, and then reconcile. This knife must also be stabbed into the opponent's painful areas one by one, and that will be considered revenge.

"I understand." Shen smiled faintly and understood what Chu Qianchen meant.

Divorce between husband and wife is not a big deal. The most troublesome thing is that she wants to take Chu Yunmu away. The laws of all dynasties favor the man on this point. A divorced woman has never taken away her son, especially The only legitimate son in the husband's family.

Therefore, it would be impossible for her to reconcile with Chu Lingxiao for a while.

Even if she and Chu Lingxiao signed the divorce letter on the spot today, it would be in vain if they couldn't take Chu Yunmu away. She and Chu Qianchen would still be restrained by the Chu family because of Chu Yunmu.

Even if you go to the government, it will be useless.

The mother and daughter slowly walked out of the courtyard, and Chu Qianchen said meaningfully: "I will talk to the prince when I get back."

Anyway, we can't make them too happy before they reconcile.

Since their whole family, big and small, is thinking about Chu Yunyi and is so "working together" on such scandalous matters, then let them not be "unified" and let them fight for their own interests. Go make trouble.

Chu Qianchen smiled slyly, thinking that the prince would praise her for her cleverness.

The mother and daughter left chatting and laughing, but the Rongfu Hall became noisy, and the noise was as loud as a pot exploding.

Chu Lingxiao was persuading Chu Lingyu in a good voice: "Second brother, this errand is too important to my brother and to the Chu family. My brother has always treated you well. As long as you sacrifice this time and go to Youzhou for a few days, Years, no, three years at most... As long as three years, I will definitely try to get you back to Beijing."

"Fart! Why should I suffer on your behalf!" Chu Lingyu couldn't help but cursed, and the veins on his forehead were twitching, "It was you who committed the crime before, and now it's your job that I want to do. What does it have to do with me?" !”

"Ha!" Chu Lingxiao sneered, "Don't say it so nicely. Why did it take you so naturally to ask me to sacrifice Brother Yi before!"

"Don't think I don't know. You seem to be running around like this for me, but in fact you just want the title."

"What? You are so confident in sacrificing Brother Yi, but now I just let you go to Youzhou, do you feel too 'wronged'?!"

Chu Lingxiao almost laughed angrily, with sinister eyes. Before, Chu Lingyu kept telling him that it was Kang Hongda who fell in love with Chu Yunyi and was willing to help him get him back to the capital from Youzhou.

It was only after hearing what Chu Qianchen said that Chu Lingxiao suddenly realized that, yes, how could his second brother be so kind? The real deal between Chu Lingyu and Kang Hongda was probably to ask Kang Hongda to help him obtain the title of Marquis of Yongding. .

This good second brother of his is really shrewd and wants to use someone else's son to help him seek a title for himself!

The madam clutched the string of beads and didn't know what to say: "Second brother, you, you..."

She can now see that the second child has selfish motives in this matter of Kang Hongda. He even hid it from his own mother, leaving Mrs. Madam at a loss to say anything.

She hesitated on both sides. After all, the palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh, and she was reluctant to send Chu Lingyu to be dispatched. After all, the barbarian land of Youzhou was too miserable.

The eldest son, Chu Lingxiao, had only been there for a few months and was already so emaciated!

"Mother," Chu Lingxiao looked at Mrs. Tai at this time and said seriously, "Brother Yi is both civil and military. With his qualifications, he will definitely have a good future in the future. Since there is a smoother road, how can we let Yi Brother, I’m so wronged!”

Chu Yunyi is Chu Lingxiao's eldest son, and the son born to his most beloved woman. Chu Lingxiao likes this eldest son, but before, he thought that the Chu family had no other way to go, so he could only endure the pain. The eldest son was sacrificed.

But things are different now. Since there is another way to go, how can he be willing to let his eldest son Bai Yu be flawless and be criticized behind his back in the future?

Chu Lingyu was afraid that Mrs. Tai would be swayed, so he quickly said: "Mother, this errand was arranged by Prince Chen's Mansion. Aren't you afraid that the Chu family will offend the Emperor?"

The current position of Prince Chen's Mansion is like cooking oil on the fire. How arrogant it is now, how miserable it will be in the future. The Chu family is already the in-laws of Prince Chen's Mansion. At this time, they should cut off their relationship with Prince Chen's Mansion. That is a good way to protect themselves. !

The wife was moved and hesitantly went to see Chu Lingxiao again, but Chu Lingxiao didn't think so: "We have neither conspired nor committed any crime. What can the emperor do to our Chu family?"

He once had a sincere heart towards the emperor. For this reason, he even sold his son-in-law, King Chen, but what did he get in exchange? !

In exchange for being expelled from the nobility, he was exiled to Youzhou!

Since the emperor is unreliable, there is nothing wrong with relying on Prince Chen's palace. After all, Princess Chen is his biological daughter. Even if the bones are broken and the tendons are connected, a family is still a family after all!

Thinking about it, Chu Lingxiao became more determined and said in a louder voice: "Mother, my second brother must go."

Mrs. Tai always had no independent opinions. When the eldest son was away, she would listen to the second son. Now that the eldest son was back, she would listen to the eldest son. She felt that everything the eldest son said was reasonable, so she turned to persuade Chu Lingyu: "Second brother, just do it." I feel aggrieved for the sake of the Chu family, and my mother agrees..."

However, Chu Lingyu didn't want to listen anymore and interrupted the wife: "I won't go!"

Chu Lingyu flicked his sleeves heavily and wanted to leave, but Chu Lingxiao moved quickly and grabbed one of his arms, clamping it tightly like an iron pliers. His voice was cold and stern: "You have to go, if you don't If you are willing to sacrifice for the Chu family, get out of the Chu family!"

Chu Lingxiao was still holding his breath because Chu Lingyu used Chu Yunyi to plot his title, so his tone was very rude.

Chu Lingyu almost laughed: "You are just a guilty person, what right do you have to control me! Huh, if it weren't for you, how could our Chu family end up like this!"

"Since you don't have the ability to keep the title, then the title should be given to someone who is capable."

"Let me go!"

Chu Lingyu threw his arms and struggled, trying to get rid of Chu Lingxiao, but Chu Lingxiao refused to let go and sneered: "Is your ability to sell your nephew?!"

Chu Lingyu became angry and punched Chu Lingxiao with his free fist. The two brothers struggled with each other.

Mrs. Liu panicked and shouted: "Master!"

The madam was also panicked. As a mother, she only hoped that her two biological sons could be harmonious and have a good discussion.

"Boss, second brother, please stop fighting and talk to me if you have something to say!" The madam wanted to break up the fight, so she stood up and said.

At this moment, the two brothers were both angry. Each felt that he had been wronged and that the other had bullied the other too much, so neither of them wanted to let go. One punched the other in the chin with his fist, and the other kicked the other in the calf...

"Stop fighting..." The madam became even more flustered and took another step closer to the brothers. Chu Lingyu just happened to push over and hit the madam on one shoulder.

The madam screamed in surprise and stumbled to one side. Grandma Wang exclaimed: "The madam!"

The room was in a commotion.

Even the servants outside heard the quarrel in Rongfu Hall, and they were all panicked. The previous joy of Chu Lingxiao's return to the mansion had long been dashed away.

At this time, Mrs. Shen had already taken Chu Qianchen and Chu Yunmu, who had just finished school, back to Duke Mu's mansion.

Mrs. Shen left in a hurry, so she didn't bring much luggage with her. She left Nanny Chen at the Hou Mansion and asked her to sort out the dowry for her. Tomorrow, she would ask the Duke's Mansion to come over and bring the dowry.

Shen was determined this time. As soon as Chu Yunmu's problem was solved, she would immediately reconcile with Chu Lingxiao without delaying for a moment.

The carriage had already left the Hou Mansion far behind. Chu Yunmu blinked his phoenix eyes and asked curiously: "Mom, how long will we stay at my grandfather's house this time?"

"It's been a long time." Mrs. Shen rubbed the top of Chu Yunmu's hair, thinking in her mind. When she returned to the Duke's Mansion, she told her father that she would immediately stop supplying tea to the Chu family shop and send some to the south. The purchase of rice and grain has also been cut off. From now on, the Chu family will no longer want to take advantage of the Shen family.

She was too indecisive, and she once thought she might as well give it up for the rest of her life. However, the Chu family stepped on her bottom line again and again.

Shen thought of Chu Yunyi and held her breath again in her chest.

Chu Yunyi is such a proud young man, as clean as a piece of paper. He is willing to risk his life to protect the Chu family's title, but how could the Chu family remember his kindness? They are all rats hiding in the gutter, selfish. Li, just wants to eat other people's flesh and blood to nourish himself!

Shen's chest rose and fell violently several times. Chu Yunmu keenly felt that her mother's mood was not right, and gently patted her back with her small fleshy hands.

Shen took a few deep breaths and calmed down a little. She said to Chu Qianchen, "Sister Chen, do you want Brother Yi to live in the military camp first?"

Only those who have been thieves for a thousand years have not been able to guard against thieves for a thousand years.

Shen was also afraid that it would be unsafe for Chu Yunyi to stay in the Chu family. Those in the Chu family were already red-eyed for profit. Although Chu Yunyi worked hard, he was young and impulsive after all, and might fall victim to Chu Lingyu's plan. .

"Mom, let Brother Yi live in the palace." Chu Qianchen smiled, even if Shen didn't say anything, she had already made plans, "He has to practice anyway."

What? ! Chu Yunmu's eyes lit up, she was so envious, she hurriedly raised her hands and said: "Mom, I want to go too!"

"Go, go, go!"

He repeated it several times like a imitating starling. Shen's head began to hurt when he heard it, and he thought to himself: Boys are just noisy!

Chu Yunmu begged Shen for a while, and looked at Chu Qianchen eagerly for a while. He felt aggrieved: It was not worthwhile for him to be born late. His eldest brother could study martial arts in the palace every day, while he could only waste his time studying in the clan and study those things. That's it. He is so miserable!

"Okay." Chu Qianchen was relieved, and he and the little guy high-fived each other and reached an agreement.

Chu Yunmu stopped shouting, but Shen's head hurt even more.

In the past, there were no elders in Prince Chen's Mansion, and everything was decided by the mistress Chu Qianchen. However, the Queen Mother Yin now lives in the Prince's Mansion. Chu Qianchen brought his two natal brothers back to the Prince's Mansion. I don't know if the Queen Mother would mind.

Chu Qianchen could tell at a glance what Mrs. Shen was worried about. He smiled and put his face close to Mrs. Shen's head, and said comfortingly: "Mom, don't worry, the Queen Mother is very good. She also likes children."

Chu Yun was overjoyed. Haha, Chu Yunyi is also a "child"!

He pointed to the tip of his nose and confidently boasted to Mrs. Shen: "Mom, I am very lovable!"

He is the beloved brother Mu, even his pony and Chu Qianchen’s black cat like him!

Chu Qianchen laughed, rubbed the top of his hair, and laughed uncontrollably: "That's right. Our brother Mu is very lovable."

Chu Yunmu raised her chin proudly and looked sideways at Shen, meaning, Mom, look at it!

Shen: “…”

Shen could only let him go. When he went to the palace, his sister and brother were watching, which made her feel relieved.

Originally, Mrs. Shen wanted to take the carriage to Prince Chen's Mansion to see off Chu Qianchen, and then return to the Duke's Mansion with Chu Yunmu, but now she changed her plan temporarily.

Chu Yunmu also followed Chu Qianchen and got off the car at the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion, leaving Shen alone in the car.

"Mom! Bon voyage!" Chu Yunmu waved happily behind her and watched Shen's carriage leave, almost giving Shen the illusion that she was going on a far journey.

"Let's go." Chu Qianchen took his hand and walked towards the corner gate of the palace.

As Chu Yunmu walked, he fought for his rights and said sternly: "Sister, I'm six years old and I don't need anyone to hold my hand anymore."

Chu Qianchen knew that this little kid had a lot of drama, so he said deliberately: "At this time, Brother Yi should be practicing martial arts with Colonel Yun at the martial arts field. Do you want to go and see him?"

Chu Yunmu's eyes widened again, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I want it, I want it, I want it!"

He held Chu Qianchen's hand obediently and began to drag her forward, fearing that she would be late or that Chu Qianchen would regret it temporarily.

Chu Qianchen passively let him drag him forward. Chu Yunmu had also lived in the palace before, so he was familiar with the layout here, and found the martial arts arena with familiarity.

As expected, Chu Yunyi was still practicing martial arts. The silver long sword in his hand was danced so tightly that he danced it tightly. During the ups and downs, the long sword threw out a series of silver sword shadows, which was both free and easy, and also had a fierce aura. .

It had only been a few days, but his swordsmanship had made great progress, and it was no longer as showy as before.

"Bah bang bang!" Chu Yunmu applauded his brother enthusiastically, watching intently.

When he came back to his senses, he found that his sister had disappeared. He and Yun Zhan next to him stared at each other.

Yun Zhan was still confused. Just now Chu Qianchen only said two words: "Yun Zhan, you can teach another little kid by the way."

"Also, tell Chu Yunyi later that he should stay in the palace for the next few days and stop walking around."

Chu Qianchen left Chu Yunmu to Yun Zhan, and went to find Gu Jue happily.

Until now, Gu Jue has been ordered by Chu Qianchen not to work or work. He has nothing to do every day. He is just a carefree person. He plays with knives, reads books, writes and draws, plays with cats, or plays chess and so on.

Everyone in the palace and even the Xuanjia Army had a common tacit understanding that no one could bother Gu Jue unless the sky was about to fall.

Why do some people think that Chen wants to send errands to Chu Lingxiao? This is the carrot hanging on the donkey, causing them to fight among themselves. The chapter title was also written yesterday.
