Shangguan Yunyi was so angry that he almost went crazy. He opened Chu Yuan's arm, pushed her to the ground again, and shouted loudly: "You bitch, are you crazy? How dare you... how dare you..."
This was the first time in Shangguan Yunyi's life that he had been insulted like this. His face turned livid with anger and he couldn't even finish his words!
This time, Chu Yuan was thrown hard. Chu Yuan sat on the ground and hummed softly.
Xiao Qin rushed out of the back room and shouted loudly: "You Shangguan Yunyi, how dare you do something? Our lady gave you money with good intentions, but you actually..."
Shangguan Yunyi waved his sleeves and threw all the tea sets on the table in front of him to the ground. He pointed at Chu Yuan and cursed coldly: "Please remember this for me. I will never forget today's humiliation! Murong Leng
, it’s so good of you to let your woman insult this young master, who is at odds with you!”
At this moment, the noise also alarmed people in the inn outside. A waiter outside asked in panic: "Guest, are you okay?"
Shangguan Yunyi opened the door and left Juechen angrily.
The waiter looked inside curiously and was stunned when he saw the situation in front of him, but was driven away by Xiao Qin.
In the room, Xiaoqin helped Chu Yuan up and asked in a low voice: "Miss, are you okay?"
There was still a smile on Chu Yuan's lips. She breathed a long sigh of relief, as if she had accomplished something big, and couldn't help laughing again.
"Miss, you..." Xiaoqin was afraid that Chu Yuan would be too stimulated, so she quickly advised: "Miss, you'd better stop, this kind of man..."
"Haha, Xiaoqin, did you see how Shangguan Yunyi was going crazy just now? Hahahaha, it's so enjoyable. Shangguan Yunyi, Shangguan Yunyi, it turns out that you are here too. How did you betray me back then?
From now on, I want you to return it bit by bit!" Chu Yuan could hardly stand upright with laughter.
Xiaoqin could only accompany him with a dry smile, looking at Chu Yuan worriedly.
"Xiao Qin, I want you to do something. If you finish it, here!" Chu Yuan took a thousand taels of silver and put it in Xiao Qin's hand, "This is yours!"
Xiaoqin was overjoyed and asked quickly: "What does the young lady want from this slave?"
Chu Yuan's lips were filled with hatred, and he whispered in Xiaoqin's ear. Xiaoqin was startled and asked timidly: "Miss, is this really possible? Have you forgotten how much trouble you caused by spreading rumors last time?
Trouble is coming, even the emperor..."
"What are you afraid of? Shangguan Yunyi is just a lost dog now. I have to catch up and beat him to enjoy it!" Chu Yuan said coldly, "What? You don't want this money?"
Xiaoqin quickly stuffed the banknote into her sleeve and said, "Miss, Xiaoqin is going to do it now!"
Chu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, looked back at the room, stretched out her hands and turned around, and finally fell down on the bed and slowly closed her eyes. She must always remember her with Shangguan Yunyi, even if she hates her
That’s fine!
After walking out of Tathagata Inn, Shangguan Yunyi spat angrily towards the inn, but when he thought of Chu Yuan's words, his eyes dimmed, and he quickly returned to Shangguan Mansion, called Ouyang to the study, and asked in a low voice:
"Let me ask you, did you also sell my father's favorite squatting white jade Guanyin?"
Ouyang nodded and said: "Sir, you agreed to this. You said this white jade Guanyin is valuable... but I only bought it for five thousand taels of silver!"
"So, what that woman said is true? These damn old men are really..." Shangguan Yunyi trembled with anger, and the flesh on his face trembled.
"Sir, what's wrong with you? But what happened?" Ouyang asked quickly.
"Where is the silver? Where is the one hundred thousand taels of silver?" Shangguan Yunyi asked suddenly.
"Have asked Han Wu to take people to the clan elders. The time requested by the clan elders has come. The old slave didn't find the young master, so he took matters into his own hands..." Ouyang said quickly.
"What did you say?" Shangguan Yunyi suddenly stood up, "Ouyang, Ouyang, you really made your own decisions, you actually..."
Butler Ouyang really didn't understand what happened, so he quickly asked: "Sir, what happened? You..."
"These old immortals have taken my money and still want me to abdicate. There is no way!" Shangguan Yunyi said with a cold look in his eyes: "Ouyang, please quickly take people to all the shops in the city to sell this young master.
All his cronies are arranged in the shops. Remember, don’t leave a single tael of silver in each shop, collect them all!”
Butler Ouyang asked anxiously: "Sir, what are you talking about? Do you mean that the clan elders really agreed to Shangguan Yu and the four major families asking you to abdicate?"
Shangguan Yunyi nodded, with a cold look in his eyes, "What we have to do now is to control all the shops as quickly as possible. Anyone who is not my confidant will drive them out. Do you understand?"
Butler Ouyang nodded: "Okay, I'll take care of it now. Fortunately, over the past few decades, all Shangguan family's properties have belonged to our own people. Even if the clan elders want to intervene, it's probably not that simple!"
Shangguan Yunyi nodded and said bitterly: "In this case, I would like to thank that woman for at least giving me one day!"
Ouyang wanted to ask which woman it was, but now that the matter was urgent, he hurriedly made arrangements.
On this day, all Shangguan family shops in the capital and nearby cities got the news and handed over all the house deeds, money and account books in the shops. Although the shopkeepers complained that without these things, the shops could not open, but there was nothing they could do.
.
Early in the morning on the third day, the elders of the Shangguan family took Shangguan Yu to the Shangguan Mansion.
Shangguan Yunyi had been waiting in the hall for a long time. After a night, although the man looked haggard, there was a sharpness and calmness in his eyes after calmness. He slowly raised his eyes to look at the elders of the seven major clans and Shangguan Yu, and slowly
He smiled slowly and said, "You're really here early. Grandpa, don't you care about your grandson anymore?"
The rich man opened his mouth, as if he had something to say, but in the end he didn't say anything.
The elder of the second clan stepped forward and said: "Yi'er, we already know the situation in your warehouse. Now that Chong'er has been punished, there is no one to help you cover up!"
Shangguan Yunyi raised his eyebrows lightly: "Really? So what? Whether my family has money or not is my family's business, why should I bother you to worry about it?"
The eyes of the old man from the second clan turned cold, and he asked in a cold voice: "Shangguan Yunyi, what is your attitude? Do you want to rebel?"
Shangguan Yunyi stood up slowly and said: "I don't want to rebel, I just want to tell you old guys that if you enjoy happiness honestly, I can still call you grandpa. If you want to meddle in others' affairs, then
I'm sorry, I don't know how to serve you!"
"You... Yi'er, how did you become like this? This good family business has been ruined by you, don't you still know your fault?" The rich man shouted heartbrokenly.
"What's wrong with me? Everything I did was for the Shangguan family. It's just that God didn't help me. But I won't admit defeat. There is no money in the warehouse, but the Shangguan family's hundreds of years of industry will not
You will fall down at the drop of a hat! Shangguan Yu, no matter how hard you try, you will never become a direct lineage if you are a side branch. Even if the clan elders agree to you today, I will not give up this position. If you want
Take this seat based on your ability!" Shangguan Yunyi sat firmly on the white jade seat of the master, waved his hands and sneered.
Shangguan Yu raised his head and looked at Shangguan Yunyi, and said seriously: "Cousin, you lost, are you still unwilling to admit it?"
"Shangguanyu, don't be proud. I lost, but you won not because of yourself, but because of that woman Chu Yiqing. That woman hated me for breaking the engagement back then and wanted to take revenge on me. It's ridiculous that you turned into her.
Tool!" Shangguan Yunyi sneered, "Do you dare to say that this woman didn't give you this oil? And that ** mountain, without that woman helping you behind the scenes, how can you rob it?"
Shangguan Yu did not deny it, but just took a step forward and said coldly: "Cousin, if you are willing to admit defeat, you don't need to say more. Since you refuse to give up this seat, don't blame me for being ruthless. From today on, all the Shangguan family will
The four major families and I will resist our property. If you can’t bear to watch thousands of people in your family starve to death, then just go your own way!”
"Starve to death? This young master will not starve to death. I have been working hard for so many years, but you can defeat me with just a few words. Shangguan Yu, this young master is in trouble with you!" Shangguan Yunyi said bitterly.
The rich man couldn't help but persuade: "Yi'er, our family's century-old foundation cannot be destroyed in your hands. As long as you are willing to hand over your position as the head of the family, Yu'er will not treat you badly. Just..."
"Old guy, shut up!" Shangguan Yunyi shouted at the seven clan elders: "From now on, even if I, Shangguan Yunyi, offend the public and cannot enter the ancestral hall after death, I will bear it to the end!"
Shangguan Yu sneered, raised his hands to the elders of the seven major clans and said, "Seven clan elders, now you have seen this..."
The elder of the second clan said directly: "Shangguanyu, from now on I, the Shangguanwu family, will be at your disposal!"
The elder of the seven clans also said: "Our Wen family is also at your disposal!"
The big clan elders and the remaining clan elders looked at each other and nodded. In this way, except for Shangguan Yunyi, the direct descendant of the Shangguan family, all the peripheral relatives followed Shangguan Yu.
Ouyang was anxiously rubbing his hands, but he really couldn't think of any good solution until now.
Three days later, 40% of the Shangguan family's thousands of shops were surrendered to Shangguanyu. Only 60% of the shops directly led by Shangguan Yunyi were still struggling. A month later, half of the 60% of the shops could not hold on and closed down. Severe
The country also officially ended the era of the Shangguan family. Naturally, this is a story for another day.
At this moment, in the court hall, the emperor looked at the bowl of bright rapeseed oil in front of him, with a strange and deep expression on his face.
In the hall, Chu Zhantian stood extraordinarily straight. Although his expression was as humble as possible, his proud look still showed inadvertently.
Li Yu hurriedly entered the hall, knelt down in front of the emperor and asked, "Father, are you calling me?"
Li Li slowly raised his eyes and looked at Li Yu on the ground: "The three-day deadline has come, have you thought of any good ideas?"
Li Yu quickly said: "Father, I have sent an additional hundred yuan. I believe that soon, he will find a way to solve this oil shortage!"
Li Li's eyes darkened and he said in a deep voice: "Come up and see what this is!"
Li Yu was startled and quickly stepped forward. When he saw the bowl of bright oil on the dragon table, he couldn't help but be stunned and asked with some uncertainty: "Father, this is..."
"Prince, this is oil, rapeseed oil. This kind of oil is very popular among the people now. It is also cheap. It only costs 250 yuan. It is said to be pressed from rapeseed. This rapeseed is good to grow and has a high oil content.
It's much more cost-effective than soybeans, and I heard that the price can be reduced, and then we people will not have to worry about eating oil!" A close confidant of Chu Zhantian said loudly, with a happy face.
Li Yu was startled, stepped back and asked in a low voice: "So, the oil shortage has been solved?"
Li Li said displeased: "I sent you to supervise this matter, but you don't know about so many things happening in the city now? What are you busy with these days?"
Li Yu quickly said: "Father, these days, because of the oil shortage, I have been thinking hard in the study every day, looking up the allusions of past dynasties, so I didn't pay attention..."
"Okay!" Li Li was very unhappy. Logically speaking, he should be happy now that the oil shortage has been resolved, but this oil was squeezed out by Chu Yiqing's cultivation of rapeseed. When he looked up, he saw Chu Zhantian's proud expression.
Li Li's face was full of discomfort. In addition, Li Huang sent someone to deliver the bowl of oil to the palace. Thinking of the dispute with Li Huang, how could Li Li still be happy?
"Your Majesty, the prince is working hard for the sake of the country. In addition, the oil shortage has been solved. Your Majesty, please calm down!" Chu Zhantian took the opportunity to say.
After hearing what Chu Zhantian said, Chu Zhantian's confidant added: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank King Chu for having a good daughter who can relieve the emperor's worries and care about all the people!"
As soon as the confidant said this, everyone naturally praised Chu Yiqing for being a blessing to the people. When Li Li heard this, the look on his face changed from red to white, and finally he had to say: "Chu Yiqing is indeed a blessing to the people."
You have done great work, come here, pass on the decree, and reward Chu Yiqing with a thousand taels of gold and ten pieces of silk! In addition, let him go to Chu Han with a hundred yuan and report to the court the method of growing rapeseed and the method of pressing oil.
Let all parts of the country grow rapeseed in moderation to extract oil!”
Chu Zhantian stepped forward to thank him and said, "Old minister, I would like to thank the emperor for the reward for Yiqing!"
Li Li nodded and asked Chu Zhantian: "My dear, didn't I allow Chu Yiqing to return home? Why are you still in Chu Han?"
Chu Zhantian also felt a little worried on his face. It couldn't be said that Chu Yiqing refused to come back, so he could only say: "My daughter is worried about the common people of Chu Han. She wants to share the worries for the emperor and the country!"
Li Li said with a smile on his lips: "Really? Speaking of which, this Chu Yiqing is really patriotic and loves the people. It is also a blessing for our country, Li, to have such people!"
Chu Zhantian lowered his eyes, unable to hide the embarrassment on his face, and after a pause he could only say: "Actually, I don't want to hide it from the emperor. My daughter was killed by an adulterer back then and her reputation was stained, so she left Chu Han. Now, although
There is an imperial edict from the emperor, allowing me to return home, but my daughter is very thin-skinned. If the emperor can be merciful and let the case be re-examined, catch the person who framed my daughter, and give her justice, I will definitely be grateful!"
Li Li didn't want Chu Yiqing to come back. Once Chu Yiqing came back, wouldn't he get closer to Li Huang? But Chu Zhantian made such a request at this stall, and he couldn't refuse, but when he thought of this
This incident was caused by someone from the Chu Mansion, so he waved his hand towards Chu Zhantian and motioned Chu Zhantian to come forward.
Chu Zhantian hurried forward and stood under the main hall, but the emperor waved his hand to let him get closer. He was even more confused, but he could only get closer again.
"My dear, I advise you not to investigate. As the saying goes, family scandals should not be publicized. What's more, the person who framed you may be someone from your house. If you really find out when the time comes, I'm afraid you will have no place to put your old face!
"
Chu Zhantian was startled. He stood up straight and looked at Li Xin's scheming face suspiciously. He suddenly realized something and his face couldn't help but darken.
"What, my dear, do you still want me to send someone to retry the case back then?" Li Li raised his eyebrows and asked loudly.
Chu Zhantian raised his eyes to look at the emperor again. The emperor's expression at this moment made him even more sure of what he was thinking. He quickly whispered: "Your Majesty, let me think about it again. After all, once this matter is heard, the whole country will know about it."
This family scandal cannot be made public about the little daughter’s matter. Although I wholeheartedly advocate for my little daughter’s injustice, but...!”
Li Li nodded lightly and stopped mentioning the matter.
After going down to court, Chu Zhantian frowned thoughtfully, ignored any of the adults who wanted to flatter him, and went straight into the carriage.
"Master, are you going back home?" Mo Jiang asked respectfully from outside.
Chu Zhantian snorted coldly, and Mo Jiang had no choice but to order the carriage driver to go straight towards the Prince Chu's Mansion.
As soon as he entered Prince Chu's Mansion, Chu Zhantian strode into Yao's room. He saw Yao quickly turned around and came to greet him. He slapped Yao's face hard and asked in a cold voice:
"Tell me, was it you who did what happened to Qing'er back then?"
Yao was slapped on the ground and before she could react, her face immediately turned blue as soon as she heard Chu Zhantian's question. She quickly got up and grabbed Chu Zhantian's lapel and shouted: "Master, you
Where did I hear such gossip? How could I..."
"Issue? What the emperor is talking about is also idle talk?" Chu Zhantian stared at Yao Shi coldly and asked.
As soon as she heard what the emperor said, Mrs. Yao sat down on the ground. Soon, she knelt down and kowtowed: "Master, master, listen to me, the thing is like this, it is..."
"You just say yes or no?" Chu Zhantian coldly picked up Yao's clothes and shouted coldly, with a pair of black eyes filled with rage and cruelty.
"Master, I..."
"Dad, what are you doing?" Chu Feng heard the news and rushed over, grabbed Chu Zhantian's clothes and said anxiously, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Did mother do something wrong? I have something to say.
Speak well!"
"Get out of the way!" Chu Zhantian said bitterly, grabbing Yao's collar and slowly approaching his angry face, "On weekdays, you just fight over this and that, I just turn a blind eye.
Close your eyes, I never thought you could be so vicious. No matter what I say, Qing'er will call you Erniang!"
When Chu Feng heard that it was related to Chu Yiqing's matter, she was immediately shocked. She knew that she was afraid that the paper could not contain the anger. Quickly, countless reasons and solutions flashed through her mind. She stepped forward and knelt down quickly.
On the ground, he cried and cried: "Dad, you don't care about mother's affairs. It's Feng'er's fault. Feng'er has harmed my eldest sister!"
"Feng'er, what did you say?" Yao didn't expect that Chu Feng would say this. She shouted quickly, but it was already a step too late. Chu Zhantian struck Chu Feng with a palm, and Chu Feng's body seemed to be broken.
Like a kite, it flew out of the room and landed on the bluestone in the yard.
"Feng'er, Feng'er!" Mrs. Yao, who had been cured, quickly stepped forward, hugged Chu Feng, who was bleeding from the corners of her mouth, and shouted with concern: "Why are you so stupid? It's none of your business.
you……"
"Mom, it's all Feng'er's fault. If Feng'er could accompany eldest sister to the Guanyin Temple that day, such a thing would not have happened!" Chu Feng grabbed Yao's arm tightly and shouted to Chu Zhantian
He said, secretly giving Yao a wink.
Yao was stunned on the spot.
When Chu Zhantian heard this, his raised palms suddenly froze in the air. He looked at Chu Feng coldly and sneered: "You don't have to excuse your mother, you can't hide this matter anymore!"
Yao held Chu Feng's arm tightly.
"Dad, it's true that Feng'er harmed my eldest sister, so in these days when eldest sister is away, Feng'er will try his best to help dad, in order to make up for the shortcomings in dad's heart! Dad, Feng'er knows
She is not as capable as the eldest sister, but Feng'er works hard. A few days ago, the Queen Mother praised Feng'er for being well-behaved and asked Feng'er to go to the palace often. Dad, Feng'er knows that no matter how many things Feng'er does, it cannot make up for what the eldest sister has suffered.
"Father, if you want to punish me, then punish Feng'er. Now that my aunt is paralyzed in bed, my father still needs my mother's care..." Chu Feng said, struggled up and knelt in front of Chu Zhantian.
At this time, Mrs. Yao also understood what Chu Feng meant, and quickly turned around and knelt down to beg: "Master, today the Chu Hanlan Mansion sent someone to propose marriage. Now you only have this one daughter left. Do you really want to fight?"
Kill her?"
Chu Zhantian's eyes darkened, and he whispered for a long time: "If I find out that Qing'er was really harmed by you, none of you will be able to survive!"
Chu Zhantian flicked his sleeves and left with a cold face.
Chu Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Mom, help me up!"
Only then did Yao realize what she was doing. She quickly helped Chu Feng up, looked over her body and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Is the injury serious? Do you need to call a doctor?"
Chu Feng shook his head: "It's okay, just a minor injury!"
Yao was still a little scared and said, "It's a good thing you stopped me just now, otherwise..."
Chu Feng sneered: "Mom, do you think dad will believe what I just said? In fact, he probably already knew in his heart that what happened back then was our fault!"
"Then why did he let us go?" Yao was stunned and said anxiously.
"Because I still have value!" Chu Feng slowly sneered, "My loving father is just for outsiders to see. Now the emperor clearly dislikes Chu Yiqing, so he let the prince of the house marry Ruimin. Dad, he will naturally
I know in my heart that I am the only one who can help him now. Do you think he is willing to give up my chess piece?"
------Digression-----
I took a break over the weekend and will resume the update tomorrow. Hey guys.
