Chapter 349 349 Promise

Chu Yunyi has never returned to the Chu family, so he didn't know at first that he was now running between the palace and the military camp. He was so busy every day that he wished he could sleep less, adding twelve more hours every day.

Until this day, when Chu Yunyi set off from the palace to Fengtai camp, he saw a familiar carriage at the gate of the palace.

The curtains of the carriage were opened by a well-maintained plain hand, revealing the familiar face of the dowager lady, who was haggard and thin, looking at Chu Yunyi eagerly.

The eyes of grandfather and grandson met in mid-air.

Chu Yunyi could tell at a glance that Mrs. Tai had lost weight and was getting older. It had only been just over a month, and Chu Yunyi felt as if she had lived in another world.

Since he was a child, his grandmother had been very kind to him and treated him and Chu Yunmu equally. He had always respected this grandmother. Until he learned about Kang Hongda, it was as if the world had suddenly turned upside down.

Yun Zhan said that it was Chu Lingyu who held the string, and the wife should also know.

Chu Yunyi stood frozen on the spot. He had a grudge against Mrs. Tai. However, looking at her pitiful look at this moment, he felt a little soft-hearted.

Chu Yunyi hesitated for a moment, but finally followed Grandma Wang to the carriage on the opposite side and called: "Grandma."

"Brother Yi, something happened at home. Your father was imprisoned in a prison by the emperor's order. Do you know about this?" The lady's face was filled with worry.

Chu Yunyi shook his head and said nothing.

He has seen through his father and has no respect for him before, nor does he care about his father's affairs after he returns to Beijing.

He must never become a person like his father who only complains about others!

However, in the heart of Mrs. Tai, everyone in the world is a perfect parent.

Seeing Chu Yunyi shaking his head, Mrs. Tai thought that he was indifferent because he didn't know something was going on at home.

Madam Tai immediately gave a general account of Chu Lingxiao's failure in alchemy due to marrow balsam, Taoist priest Xuanjing, but she attributed all the reasons to how Xuanjing had bad intentions and deliberately framed Chu Lingxiao, and finally said: "Brother Yi Son, your father was wronged!"

Chu Yunyi remained silent. He could guess that his grandmother's words must be biased. His grandmother always favored his father.

The wife felt distressed when she thought of her eldest son, and with tears in her eyes she began to play the tenderness card: "Brother Yi, you haven't been home for several days, and grandma has been thinking about you. Even if you don't come back, you should send a message from time to time. Grandma knows that you are okay. To feel at ease.”

Chu Yunyi was a little ashamed after what she said and felt that she was very unfilial. He moved out from home. Logically speaking, he should go home from time to time to report that he was safe.

The people who wanted to plot against him were his second uncle and his second aunt, and his grandmother might not even know about it...

Chu Yunyi took out a handkerchief, handed it to Mrs. Tai through the window, and said dryly: "Grandma, I will often go to pay your respects in the future."

"Okay, that's good. I'm afraid that you and grandma will have an affair." The madam wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, smiled, and sighed, "As long as you are here, grandma will have the confidence."

"Hey, you will see the people's hearts when disaster strikes. Now your second uncle wants your father to die. Your father is suffering in the sky prison. Your mother has returned to Mu Guogong's mansion. Your third and fourth uncles have also left their hands. Grandma is really alone. I can’t hold it any longer.”

As she spoke, the Dowager's forehead showed deep wrinkles, showing a look of exhaustion and pain.

Grandma Wang also spoke at the side: "Young Master, the wife has not been sleeping well these days. The doctor asked her to calm down and take care of her body, not to get angry or to work hard. But how can the wife be relieved when the master is like this! "

Chu Yunyi also felt uncomfortable looking at the old lady.

At Mrs. Etai's age, she should be able to live her life well and be supported by her children and grandchildren. She should not have to work hard for her children and grandchildren at her old age.

Chu Yunyi pursed his lips without hesitating to speak, and subconsciously clenched the scabbard in his hand.

There is a green lotus-colored Fang Shengluo hanging on the hilt, and the long tassels are slightly swaying in the wind.

The wife felt that Chu Yunyi must have softened her heart, so she continued to be moved: "Brother Yi, you are a good boy. Last time, you did not hesitate to protect your family's title, and you suffered such serious injuries. Fortunately, you I am blessed with great fortune, everything is fine now, and my grandma is relieved.”

"Grandma knows that you have filial piety and that you have the Chu family in your heart. You are different from your second uncle and third uncle."

"The title in our family is vacant now, and my grandmother thinks that you are the only one qualified to take the title."

The madam was a little emotional as she spoke, casting all her hopes on Chu Yunyi. Chu Yunyi has always been the most filial child and knows how to put family first, much better than his uncles.

As long as Chu Yunyi can rescue Chu Lingxiao, Mrs. Tai really feels that the title can be given to Chu Yunyi, which he deserves. She believed that even Shen could not object.

Chu Yunyi's eyes were slightly opened and his body was stiff. His eyes when looking at the Madam became distant, as indifferent as if he were looking at a stranger.

"Grandma, what do you need me to do?" Chu Yunyi suddenly asked, concisely and to the point, and his tone was so calm that there was no ripple.

He was so calm that Mrs. Tai did not notice the change in his expression and replied smoothly: "Brother Yi, please go and beg Mr. Kang." Mrs. Tai looked at Chu Yunyi with burning eyes and clenched her hands tightly. Wearing the square veil given by Chu Yunyi just now.

Chu Yunyi: "..."

A bucket of cold water instantly chilled Chu Yunyi's heart.

He felt that he was extremely ridiculous just a moment ago. He stared deeply at the Madam and laughed silently and bitterly.

His smile was bitter and indifferent, and his eyes were deep and calm. Seeing that the wife was very uneasy, she always felt that something was not right.

"Brother Yi." Madam Tai wanted to say something else, but Chu Yunyi didn't want to hear it at all.

If anything else, it would just be a waste of his time and make himself more embarrassed and disappointed.

"Grandma, the Chu family gave me life, gave me rich clothes and food, and allowed me to study and practice martial arts..." Chu Yunyi said slowly in a calm and difficult voice, "I remember that this is what I owe to the Chu family. ”

"But, everything the Chu family gave him, I paid back with my life the last time."

Before today, Chu Yunyi actually had a little hope for the Chu family. He hoped that what happened to Kang Hongda was just his second uncle Chu Lingyu's idea, and that his grandmother was just weak and had no independent opinion. But Not that nasty.

However, Yunzhan was right.

The second uncle knew it, his grandmother knew it, and his father knew it, and they all planned to sacrifice him to make the Chu family prosperous and wealthy.

In their eyes, he wasn't even a person, just a dog.

At this moment, Chu Yunyi's last illusion about the Chu family was popped like a bubble, and a sour taste filled his heart, almost spreading to his eyes.

He had never felt so calm, sober.

No wonder her aunt Shen wanted to reconcile with her father even if she took away Chu Yunmu. She wanted Chu Yunmu to completely distance herself from the dirty Chu family.

He tried his best to keep his eyes open, and looked at the Madam who was only a few feet away from him without blinking, and emphasized: "I have already paid it back. I don't owe the Chu family anymore."

"My surname is Chu. If I can, I will help the Chu family, but it is absolutely impossible for me to repay it with my life!"

In an instant, Chu Yunyi's eyes became as sharp as a blade, as if they were going to penetrate the madam's appearance and pierce her heart.

The wife felt guilty when he looked at her, her eyes wandered for a moment, unable to look directly into his eyes, and couldn't help but retorted: "Brother Yi, what are you talking about? How could grandma let you risk your life to repay the Chu family. "

The madam was a little bit overbearing at first, but as she talked, she felt that she was right.

She just hopes that Chu Yunyi can sacrifice for his father. She just hopes that the family can be harmonious and beautiful.

She is already old and she really can't bear to see her son suffer, let alone a white-haired person giving a black-haired person.

Is she wrong in thinking this? !

Chu Yunyi didn't speak, but looked at the Madam quietly. His eyes seemed to **** people in. The Madam once again avoided his gaze.

Chu Yunyi smiled. He took the reins from the boy's hand, got on the horse, and then pinched the horse's belly.

The horse galloped, and Chu Yunyi rode away, never looking back.

The young man's back was so determined and tenacious. Seeing that the madam became even more panicked, she calmly called out: "Brother Yi..."

Her voice was too soft and was blown away by the wind in an instant, unable to reach Chu Yunyi's ears.

The madam looked at Chu Yunyi's back in despair, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Chu Yunyi's last look was deeply engraved in the heart of Mrs. Tai, which made Mrs. Tai feel anxious and uneasy. She felt as if she had lost something and felt empty in her heart.

The dowager's shoulders slumped feebly, her back was hunched and her head lowered, making her look even more aged.

She thought Chu Yunyi would understand her, but she didn't expect that she would hit another nail on his head. He didn't understand her just like the second child.

At this moment, Chu Yunyi could no longer be seen at the end of the street. After turning right, he rode towards the west city gate, feeling confused.

Horses cannot gallop in the streets of the capital. As soon as he left the capital, he lowered his body, accelerated his horse's speed, and galloped wildly.

"Definitely..."

As the speed became faster and faster, even the oncoming spring breeze became a bit sharp, causing his cheeks to turn red.

Chu Yunyi rushed forward regardless, completely ignoring the glances directed at him from the official road, and just kept moving forward, and then forward...

He didn't know how long he ran, but he finally began to calm down, and gradually slowed down his horse speed. He looked at the blue sky and roared loudly like a madman, venting the frustration in his heart.

He touched the slender and strong neck of his beloved horse with his left hand, and then touched the green lotus-colored sword spike. After venting his anger, he felt relieved.

Yunzhan said that people cannot choose their parents, but they can choose how to live their lives.

At that time, he asked himself, have you figured out how to leave? "

Chu Yunyi was still in confusion at that time and did not answer, but now he has the answer.

He said softly: "I've thought about it."

He was answering Yun Zhan, but he was also telling himself.

Chu Yunyi smiled again, putting aside all the thoughts in his heart, his smile was arrogant, and he became the high-spirited eldest son of the Chu family again.

He should not limit himself to the Chu family's one-third of an acre, there is a wider world outside.

He will do it on his own!

Chu Yunyi clamped the horse's belly again and let the horse speed up. It was a release after suppression before, but now it is wanton and free.

Chu Yunyi understood and felt relieved, but the wife was trapped in it and tied herself up.

In the next two days, she tried to beg old friends and relatives of the Chu family, but all she got was disappointment again and again. She even tried to send a message to the palace again, but the result was nothing, which made her deeply sad. I deeply understand what it means to have no way to ask for help.

The lady was really helpless, so she visited Duke Mu's mansion again.

This time, she finally met Mr. Shen. If it were in the past, Mrs. Tai would still put on airs like mother-in-law, but now she can't do it anymore, for fear that Mr. Shen will throw away her sleeves and leave if she doesn't agree with her.

"Ah Zhi," Mrs. Shen tried her best to give a flattering smile, "I see you have lost weight. How is Brother Mu?"

"We are all fine." Shen answered lukewarmly.

Mrs. Shen had deliberately kept the concubine in the dark before, and only saw her when the concubine was frustrated and had no way to ask for help.

Mrs. Tai felt miserable. She finally saw Mrs. Shen and quickly cried out how miserable Chu Lingxiao was. She only hoped that Mrs. Shen would help Chu Lingxiao out of the kindness of one night and a hundred nights.

Mrs. Tai cried sincerely, but Mrs. Shen only thought it was ridiculous.

After Mrs. Tai finished speaking, Mrs. Shen put forward a condition: "If you want me to help Chu Lingxiao, you can. As long as the Chu family agrees to our reconciliation, Brother Mu and Sister Chen will be mine from now on."

Madam: "!!"

Mrs. Shen did not expect that Mrs. Shen would propose divorce again when they met again. She could no longer keep her smile and said, "This is impossible!"

How could she agree to hand over the grandson of their Chu family to others!

The Chu family couldn't afford to lose this person, and if she agreed, how would she explain it to her ancestors a hundred years later?

For the Chu family, Mrs. Shen no longer even wanted to save face. She felt disgusted, so she was too lazy to say anything more and used the most direct gesture to serve tea to see off the guests.

So, the eldest maid Dongmei stretched out her hand to the madam whose buttocks were not yet warm and said: "Madam, please!"

How could Mrs. Tai be willing to leave just like that? She still wanted to love her, but as soon as she said the word "Azhi", two more big-bodied women came. Mrs. Tai, Grandma Wang and her servant were forced to do so. The ground pushed him out.

After a while, the room became quiet.

Mrs. Shen took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly: "She won't last long."

Grandma Chen glanced in the direction of the door curtain and nodded in agreement.

The madam has lived in vain for so many years, but nothing happened. She is now like a lantern made of paper, which will break when poked.

The setbacks she experienced these days should have brought Madam Tai to her limit. She had to take a step back if she wanted to save Chu Lingxiao.

Grandma Chen thought for a while and asked, "Madam, do you want to tell the princess?"

Speaking of Chu Qianchen, Mrs. Shen smiled and said in a brisk tone: "Go ahead and bring her some baskets of loquats from the village. She and Brother Mu like to eat loquats."

Grandma Chen added jokingly: "They all look like you, madam."

Grandma Chen also felt a little emotional in her heart: Shen's ability to have such a good pair of children, although her marriage was a bit difficult, was a bit of a comfort.

Two days ago, Chu Yunmu came to the Duke's Mansion. At that time, he even let Nanny Chen go out and spoke to Mrs. Shen alone.

Grandma Chen was worried. While waiting outside, she also listened and heard Chu Yunmu solemnly say to Mrs. Shen: "Mom, if you want to make peace, just make peace. I will practice martial arts well." If you like reading, I will support you when you grow up."

"You still have me!"

At that moment, Mrs. Shen didn't cry, but Grandma Chen's eyes were already red. The fourth young master is only so young, but he already knows how to think about his mother.

Both Shen and Nanny Chen knew very well that Chu Qianchen must have said something to Chu Yunmu, which made Chu Yunmu come and say such things. After that, Mrs. Shen was in a good mood, and her appetite also improved. She was visibly plump and radiant.

Thinking of her son, Mrs. Shen smiled slightly and said: "When you see Brother Mu, tell him that he must listen to his sister and brother-in-law and not fall behind on his homework. If he fails the exam next time, he will not be allowed to continue in the palace. live."

Shen had always been worried that Chu Yunmu would blame her, so she didn't bother to think about his homework. Now that she was relieved, she remembered that the last time Chu Yunmu came, she forgot to ask him about his homework.

Grandma Chen couldn't help but smile, knowing that the eldest lady was missing the fourth young master.

At this time, the lady who had left the Duke's Mansion had already boarded the carriage of the Duke's Mansion, feeling as if she was in the heat of water.

She first ordered the carriage to go back to the Marquis Mansion. After the carriage drove two streets away, she changed her mind and asked the coachman to change the route to the Prison Prison.

She really had no other choice. She tried every possible way and persuaded everyone she could, but everyone rejected her.

Mrs. Wang asked Grandma Wang to stuff money into the prison head, and finally entered the prison again.

The first thing Chu Lingxiao said when they met was to complain: "Mom, why did you come here!"

Madam: “…”

Without waiting for Mrs. Tai's reply, he asked anxiously with a sad face: "Mother, how is Kang Hongda doing there?"

The madam shook her head in embarrassment: "Ling Xiao, I went to Brother Yi, but he didn't agree."

Chu Lingxiao's eyes almost widened to the extreme, his heart was shrouded in despair, and he became even more frightened. He said in a trembling voice: "Mom, Brother Yi is the most filial man. Go talk to him again. If he doesn't save me, I will I'm going to be punished..."

As he spoke, Chu Lingxiao's body couldn't help but tremble.

He doesn't want to die yet!

The madam said weakly: "Ling Xiao, I told Brother Yi and promised to give him the title, but he is still unwilling."

Chu Lingxiao's body went limp, and his body trembled even more violently, and he said again: "Mom, you go find Shen Zhi. Once I am convicted, Shen Zhi and Chu Yunmu will not be able to get away with it."

Another glimmer of hope ignited in Chu Lingxiao's gloomy eyes.

Mrs. Tai was even more helpless: "I went to see Ah Zhi. Ah Zhi wants to make peace with you and said she wants to take Brother Mu and Sister Chen away."

When she was at Duke Mu's mansion, Mrs. Tai still firmly disagreed with Shen's request, but now she has wavered.

"If you agree, I will go to Ah Zhi again and ask the Duke's Mansion to help you." The madam closed her eyes. For the sake of her eldest son, she could only be the sinner of the Chu family for once.

The madam's eyes began to turn red again.

Chu Lingxiao: “…”

Chu Lingxiao's mouth opened and closed, and no words came out for a while. His throat felt as if it was being burned by fire.

He hated Mrs. Shen to the core of his heart and sneered: "Husband and wife are birds of the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly separately."

This woman is indeed snobbish. Seeing that she has become a prisoner, she will abandon her and even want to take her son away.

This is the good daughter-in-law his father has chosen!

It was his father who missed him!

The lady was extremely exhausted, her whole body was weak and weak, as if she was being weighed down by an invisible mountain.

She said in a hoarse voice: "I have no choice. I have asked everyone I can to ask for help, and they have all failed me. The only one who can help is Ah Zhi. Hey, even if the Duke's Mansion cannot help, Come on, Sister Chen, if she can persuade King Chen to come forward, your matter will be nothing more than a trivial matter."

Mrs. Tai also knew that no matter how many days King Chen's flower would stay red, now was the time when King Chen's palace was at its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period. King Chen's words were more effective than anything else, and even the emperor had to be wary of it.

The madam rubbed her brows and sighed: "However, mother and daughter are of the same mind, and now they are clearly planning to blackmail us over your matter."

Chu Lingxiao's face turned even uglier. He hated the Shen family, hated Chu Qianchen, and even disliked Chu Yunmu. Chu Yunmu was his legitimate son, but a son born to a woman like the Shen family would probably also be a Xiao. His mother.

Chu Lingxiao punched the wooden fence of the cell hard with his fist. The wooden thorns on the wooden fence scratched his hand and his face twisted in pain.

Chu Lingxiao took a deep breath and said slowly: "It's okay to reconcile, and Chu Qianchen will let her take her away, but Chu Yunmu can't." Chu Lingxiao's eyes were deep and deep, like the eighteenth level of hell.

"She won't agree." Madam Tai felt agitated when she thought about being kicked out of Duke Mu's mansion.

Mr. Shen’s heart is too cruel and cruel!

Chu Lingxiao: “…”

Chu Lingxiao punched the wooden fence again, feeling extremely confused.

At this moment, the voices of two men talking came from the distance:

"Your Excellency, are you going to interrogate Chu Lingxiao?"

"Yes, Taoist Priest Xuanjing left the capital today. The Emperor thought of Chu Lingxiao again and just issued an order to punish him twenty times with a cane."

In the quiet sky prison, the footsteps of the two men were particularly clear, approaching step by step.

The cell was dark and damp, and the approaching footsteps in the darkness were like the black and white Wu Chang who was holding a soul chain walking towards him.

Chu Lingxiao's body trembled violently, his pupils shrank sharply, and his whole body trembled even more.

Chu Lingxiao shouted in horror: "Mom, promise her, no matter what conditions Shen Zhi offers, as long as she rescues me from here."

He didn't want to stay in this hellish place for a moment. If the fight continued, would he still be alive? !

As he spoke, a tall and mighty man with a Chinese character's face came into the sight of Chu Lingxiao and his son. Behind him were the cell leader and four Forbidden Army soldiers.

The man with a Chinese character also saw the lady and frowned in displeasure.

The prison head smiled apologetically and said: "Sir, this is Chu Lingxiao's mother. I am also grateful for the deep love between mother and son." Logically speaking, Chu Lingxiao was imprisoned in the sky prison by the emperor's order and was not allowed to visit at will.

The man with the Chinese character face casually glanced at the cell leader. He was used to this kind of thing. He didn't say anything. He just waved his hand and ordered: "Take this person away!"

Chu Lingxiao was about to cry. In this small cell, he had nowhere to hide, so he could only let the two Forbidden Army soldiers drag him away.

Chu Lingxiao warned Mrs. Tai: "Mother, go find Shen Zhi quickly!"

"Ling Xiao." Mrs. Tai felt sorry for her son and wanted to pull him away, but was stopped by the cell leader.

The prison boss gave the madam a warning look, and the madam did not dare to do it again.

As the saying goes, the king of **** is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with.

If she offended the cell leader and turned around to embarrass Chu Lingxiao, it would make Chu Lingxiao suffer.

Mrs. Tai could only watch helplessly as Chu Lingxiao was dragged away and executed. She could no longer stay and hurried back to the Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Tai was not in a hurry to go to the Duke's Mansion. After returning, she immediately wrote several posts, which were sent to the Chu family's clan chiefs, clan elders' homes, and the Duke Mu's Mansion.

Therefore, the Yongding Marquis Mansion, which had not had visitors for a long time, opened its front door early the next morning and welcomed horse-drawn carriages one after another, including a red-wheeled carriage from Prince Chen's Mansion.

Chu Qianchen came here specially with Mrs. Mu Guogong and Mrs. Shen. They did not bring Chu Yunmu with them.

Everyone gathered in the main hall of the outer courtyard, seated according to host and guest and status, and the atmosphere was solemn.

The patriarch looked at Shen and Mrs. Mu Guogong and hesitated to speak.

It was Mrs. Tai who was the first to speak: "Azhi, I can decide and agree on your reconciliation with Ling Xiao. Today the clan leader and the clan elders are the witnesses. I also promise to let you take away Brother Mu and Sister Chen."
