The air was filled with a thick smell of blood, and the bodies of four people were spread out on the ground. They were bloody and unrecognizable. Perhaps because their anger was vented, the refugees and the people in the town who had just been red-eyed gradually calmed down.
After taking a look, everyone saw panic and fright in each other's eyes. Some people threw away their blood-stained farm tools and murmured in disbelief: "It's not me, it's not me!"
Chu Yiqing stepped forward slowly, dressed in white and stood beside the four bloody corpses, with a calm expression: "You don't have to be afraid, these people brought it upon themselves, and this is what they should end up with as ungrateful people!"
Finally, someone recovered from the fear and shouted loudly: "Yes, Mrs. Li is right, killing people should be punished with life, not to mention these four beasts. Folks, don't be afraid. We are avenging the good man.
Just protect yourself!"
Slowly, some people began to agree.
Chu Yiqing took the opportunity to slowly turn to the refugees and said in a cold voice: "You have seen, this is the fate of being ungrateful! The food and money of our people in Lucheng are not blown by strong winds, they are earned with their own blood and sweat.
They were kind-hearted and gave you their food and clothes, but what happened?"
The woman stood next to the corpse with a stern expression. Under her direct gaze, the refugees who were angry just now lowered their heads in shame.
"Don't forget that you are intruders. Just because your homes have been destroyed and displaced does not mean that others will be like you! The people of Lucheng are doing their best to save you. If you are still so ungrateful, I will make it clear.
We will never give up, and by then you won’t even have this place to stay!”
The refugees looked at each other, and suddenly they all knelt down, and quickly prayed: "Mrs. Li, we were wrong, but this is just an individual, and we are all law-abiding citizens. Mrs. Li, please, please,
We finally don’t have to go hungry anymore, Mrs. Li must not drive us away!"
"Mrs. Li, those ungrateful people deserve to die. We will never say a word. Please show your respect to Mrs. Li. We promise that such a thing will never happen again!"
"Yes, yes, Mrs. Li, please!"
…
The refugees were kneeling, kowtowing, and begging for help. Some women were so scared that they started to cry because they were afraid of being displaced again and living the life of cannibalism again.
Chu Yiqing's eyes darkened: "You should not ask me, but ask these people who have been hurt by you!"
Chu Yiqing turned sideways and gave up his position.
Standing at the front was the nephew of Gao Dahu. He looked at the refugees kneeling on the ground angrily, but when he looked at the four corpses on the ground, he still sighed.
The cries of women among the refugees became louder, and were also mixed with the cries of children.
There were soft-hearted people among the people, so they discussed something in low voices. Finally, they recommended a government official to discuss with the nephew of a wealthy family, and the two of them walked up to Chu Yiqing.
"Mrs. Li, we are not unreasonable people, but these people are indeed too dangerous outside the town. They are pitiful, but the tall and kind family they killed is even more pitiful. Even if they die, they will not be as good as
Where are the eyes! Mrs. Li is familiar with us adults, let's see if we can think of a way to accommodate them, it's better than this! If they can't help it and run to the city again..." the nephew of the tall family said in a low voice.
Yes, no matter how kind-hearted a person is, he still has to worry about his own safety first!
Chu Yiqing nodded, turned around and said to the refugees: "You heard it too, it's not that I can't tolerate you, it's that some of you have gone too far. In this case, you wait outside while I go to the city to discuss with the town government.
Let's see if we can rent some land for you to grow. The treatment will be the same as in Huangtian Town. If you are willing to stay, then stay. If you are not willing to stay, I will give you enough dry food to return to Pingliang!"
When everyone heard this, they realized that although they still wanted to return to their hometown, it was obvious that the county and town where they stayed could no longer accommodate them. The refugees from other towns were already familiar with them, and they had already gathered together in groups, hoping to go elsewhere.
The town was also in trouble, so most of the people immediately decided to stay and reclaim wasteland outside Liu County town. The other small group of people, because they really couldn't bear to part with Pingliang, took the ten days' food provided by Chu Yiqing and went to Pingliang.
road.
From then on, those refugees no longer dared to plunder and kill the people, but they were stable for a while. Soon, Chu Yiqing used the same method to comfort the refugees in the other three towns. Soon, those who had been reclaimed in Lucheng
The wasteland that no one planted was all put to use. Within two years, Lucheng became the second largest city after Chu Han, even surpassing the capital. Naturally, this is a story for another day.
On this day, Chu Yiqing took Lu Laowu and his family to a small alley in Liu County and stopped in front of a small house.
Lu Laowu's wife, Chu Yiqing called her Lu'er Niang, looked at the small and medium-sized house in confusion, and said a little confused: "Madam, this is..."
"Now the refugees in the five towns have been resettled, but the follow-up work still needs to be done by others. I have decided to leave your family behind. It just so happens that you, Lu Laowu, can take your brothers and go back and forth to look after the five towns.
, when the time comes to collect the rent, just hand it over to the Chu Mansion in Lucheng!" Chu Yiqing led them into the small house and said with a smile: "You can use this house, and the deed is also in your name.
Come on, from now on this place can be regarded as a place for my husband and I to stay, you guys can help us guard it!"
Lu Laowu immediately understood what Chu Yiqing meant, and quickly clasped his fists and said, "I obey my orders!"
Lu Erniang also looked at the house happily. The house was not big, with only two entrances and a small red painted door. There was a patio when entering, and a grape trellis was set up. There were stone tables and stone piers underneath. There were three main rooms facing north and south.
There are two wing rooms on the left and right of the room, and there is a patio at the back. There are also three main rooms, and two wing rooms on the left and right. From the front, you can vaguely see the thick old locust trees on the left and right. The environment is quiet and elegant, and it seems that
The son blocked out the noise outside.
"Madam, thank you so much for your great kindness!" Lu Erniang quickly hugged Luer and saluted her to express her thanks.
Chu Yiqing nodded, and then warned: "There are many skilled people among these refugees. You are familiar with them. In the future, move around more, pick some useful ones, and compile them into a roster. Maybe I can use them in the future."
!As for the food and clothing of the refugees, someone will send it to you, you can find a way to distribute it!"
Lu Laowu and his wife responded quickly.
After finishing all arrangements for the five towns, it was already five days ago. Calculating the days, it was almost time for Li Huang to come back. Chu Yiqing planned to go back to Lucheng to wait for him.
In Lucheng, Mrs. Zhu was naturally anxious when she heard about the refugees in the five towns. However, she was injured and couldn't go anywhere. She went to visit Shan Laoer that day and mentioned this matter by the way.
I couldn't help but sigh: "Now it's time for Miss to hire someone. We are both lying on the bed. How can this be the latest chapter of the bloody and passionate years!"
Most of Shan Lao Er's wounds have healed. He struggled to sit up and said, "I have sent someone over there to check. The lady said she has arranged everything and doesn't let us worry about it! It will take a hundred days to break the muscles and bones."
, you’d better not think about anything and concentrate on recuperating!”
Mrs. Zhu nodded, knowing that it was useless to be anxious, so she let Mrs. Shan Qin help her stand up and said, "Then I'll leave first. The young master still refuses to come out. I want to persuade him!"
Shan Laoer nodded, his expression indifferent, but as soon as Zhu left the room, he no longer hid himself, looking at the woman's back, his eyes became intense.
"Hey, the lady in charge is here again?" Fourth Sister Shan ran into Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Shan Qin head-on. She couldn't help laughing loudly, "The lady in charge looks so neat? It's rare that she comes to see my brother several times a day.
, don’t be too tired to take care of your wife!”
Mrs. Zhu knew that Fourth Sister Shan had a problem with her, so she just smiled indifferently, said nothing, and told Mrs. Shan Qin to leave quickly.
"Guiye, let's go. The second child is in the house. Now he is injured and can't leave the house. He is very depressed every day. You have a lively temper and often come around to accompany him. As we walk, let's
This distant relative has become a real relative!" Fourth Sister Shan said, pulling a tall and pretty girl behind her, and said loudly on purpose.
Zhu's heart was moved, and she quickly looked up and saw that the woman was dressed in red clothes. She looked very happy. It's no wonder that she is young and looks good no matter what she wears!
Seeing Mrs. Zhu looking at Guiye, Fourth Sister Shan quickly said: "Madam in charge, this is Guiye, my maternal cousin. She is coming to the city to play and has no place to stay. I just want her to come with me."
By the way, help me take care of my second son. Is the housekeeper okay?"
Naturally, Mrs. Zhu understood what Sister Shan meant. She looked at the girl named Gui Ye again and saw her smiling at her. This made her even more angry and couldn't help but raise her voice.
Said: "His fourth sister, originally this relative came and it was okay to squeeze in, but now the war is in chaos. You haven't heard about the matter of staying in the county town. Now that the lady is not at home, don't ask anyone.
If something goes wrong at home, neither Brother Shan nor I can bear it, let alone you!"
Fourth Sister Shan was stunned, as if she did not expect that Zhu would be so ruthless, so she put away her sarcastic face and said: "Madam in charge, this is my cousin from my mother's family, not a refugee. How can she be an outsider? You
Say yes?"
Mrs. Zhu raised her eyebrows faintly and said: "In our house, not counting the people in the lady's house, there are fifty-three people in and outside the courtyard, plus the people in the workshop. This person is counted as ten relatives. After all,
There are more than five hundred people. Could it be said that these are all people from our house? Can they all enter our house? "
Fourth Sister Shan was stunned there, speechless as she was blocked by Mrs. Zhu.
Seeing that things were not going well, Shan Qin quickly said: "Fourth Sister Shan, the steward is right, don't make your own decisions!"
Gui Ye quietly tugged on the skirt of Sister Shan's clothes and whispered: "Cousin, we can stay in an inn, it's not far anyway, don't bother the host, we work for the host, we can't cause trouble to the host.
!”
Seeing that Guiye was a sensible person, Mrs. Zhu said: "This relative from my hometown is here. Logically speaking, he should stay for one night, but he is not the master of this family, he is just a servant! Miss Xiang is at home, and I
You can ask for permission, but now that the lady is not at home, there is really no way to make the decision!"
Fourth Sister Shan's face turned pale after talking for a while, and finally she had to say: "Then we won't stay here. Let's just visit your second brother Shan and talk to him for a while. There is a small inn nearby. You
Stay there!"
Guiye could only nod.
Fourth Sister Shan raised her face and said loudly: "So, you won't even let people see you, right?"
Zhu smiled and said: "What are you talking about, Fourth Sister Shan? I only care about the peace of this house. I have no control over Brother Shan's affairs. Just look at it, I still have things to be busy with!"
Zhu said, turned around and let Shan Qin help her walk, but she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. The latest chapter of The Young Wife of a Rich Husband. Shan Er, too, had been pestering her every day for the past three years.
, now she thought about it, her heart was moved, and she gave up on this one-two punch! In the past, she felt that she was not worthy of him, but seeing him risking his life for herself and Lingdang, she was really shocked.
It's so great that once her heart is moved, it's hard to take it back!
Mrs. Zhu sighed, then turned to look at the tall woman in red, feeling even more envious and jealous in her heart. If the eldest girl got married early, why would she bother to guard her so hard?
Shan Qin had been observing her expression, and when she saw her frowning and sighing for a while, she knew it in her heart. She secretly muttered that this good thing was coming soon, and her face was full of joy.
"Sister-in-law, I have to go to the Hua Mansion to have a look. The young master has been refusing to come out, and I can't let go!" Although Zhu felt tired, she still said, "Please ask someone to prepare the carriage!"
Shan Qin quickly sent someone to prepare the carriage.
In Hua Mansion, Hua Qi has not left his room for a month. He reads and writes all day long and refuses to say a word. Only occasionally does Hua Lin leave, and his face smiles.
In the study at this time, Hua Qi was reading, and Hua Lin looked at the picture album boredly. After a long time, she raised her eyes and asked: "Brother, anyway, Aunt Chu is not at home, so you can go out and play. People in the house don't dare to
You’re talking nonsense!”
Hua Qi didn't even raise his head and said directly: "If you can't hold it in, don't come with me!"
Hua Lin was startled, pursed his lips in displeasure, and stepped forward: "Brother, are you still angry with aunt? It's because Ling Dang and Aunt Zhu were both injured..."
"Lin'er, I said that I was never angry with Aunt Chu. I was angry with myself. I knew clearly that that person was hopeless, but I still deceived myself again and again. This time not only did I lose ten
Ten thousand taels of silver, and the bell almost became crippled. In my heart...Lin'er, it's really my brother who did something wrong this time, and he has to punish himself!"
Hua Lin was startled. She had never seen Hua Qi with such a serious and serious expression before. She asked in a low voice: "Then when will brother be willing to go out?"
Hua Qi shook his head and whispered: "I don't know, I don't know either!"
Hua Lin bit her lip and looked even more confused.
When Mrs. Zhu arrived at Hua Mansion, she happened to see Hua Lin sitting sullenly on the flower gallery outside the study door, staring blankly at a plate of roses that had just sprouted buds.
"Lin'er!" Mrs. Zhu called her in a low voice, motioning to Mrs. Shan Qin to help her come forward and put aside the ginseng chicken soup she brought.
"Aunt Zhu!" Hua Lin turned around and saw Mrs. Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Aunt Zhu, my brother still refuses to come out, and now Aunt Chu is not here either, what should I do?"
Zhu arranged her hair and said with a smile: "Your brother knows what he knows, don't worry. When he first came here, Lingdang said he wanted to listen to your story. How about you go and accompany Lingdang?"
Hua Lin nodded and took the maid back to Chu Mansion first.
With Shan Qin's support, Zhu knocked on the door of the study room with the earthen pot. After hearing the answer from inside, he opened the door and entered.
Hua Qi raised her eyes to see Mrs. Zhu, immediately put down the pen in her hand, and hurried forward: "Aunt Zhu, why are you here?"
Sitting down on the Taishi chair beside her, Madam Zhu asked Shan Qin to wait outside. She put the earthen pot on the table, poured out the hot ginseng chicken soup, pushed it towards Hua Qi and said with a smile: "This is ginseng chicken soup."
, it’s the most nourishing, drink it while it’s hot!”
Hua Qi sat opposite and didn't move for a long time before saying: "Aunt Zhu, don't you blame me? If it weren't for my father, Lingdang's legs wouldn't be..."
"Lingdang's leg is fine. Miss is very capable and the doctor she hired is very skilled. It just needs some time to recover! Taking a step back, even if there is something wrong with Lingdang's leg, it's not your fault. He is him and you are you.
, there is no need for you to punish yourself for his sins!" Zhu said slowly, "Qi'er, there is no need for us to live in the shadow of that person anymore, that person will be punished sooner or later by the unscrupulous god!"
Hua Qi was startled and couldn't help but raise his eyes, and saw Zhu's face full of determination. He was stunned and suddenly admired Zhu's courage.
"Aunt Zhu, don't you hate my father?" Hua Qi asked in a low voice.
"Hate! I want to peel off his skin! Because I hate him, I want to live a better life!" Zhu said with a dark look in his eyes, but then turned to smile and said: "Hurry up and drink the chicken soup, it won't taste good when it's cold.
Got it!"
Hua Qi bit her lip, seeming to understand something, and whispered: "Aunt Zhu, after Manager Shan fell ill, who will be taking care of the restaurant and shop?"
Mrs. Zhu sighed and said: "The shopkeepers of several shops come back to the house every morning to report yesterday's events and accounts. But just like this, the restaurant's business has dropped a lot recently!"
Hua Qi suddenly said: "Aunt Zhu, how about I go to the restaurant to help from tomorrow? After so many years, I can only study and have never done business!"
"You go to the restaurant to help? That's not possible. You still have to study and take the imperial examination!" Mrs. Zhu quickly waved her hand.
"The imperial examination will be two years away. I can't study every day. Sooner or later I will become stupid from studying! Besides, Aunt Chu lost so much money because of me this time. I have to make atonement for my sins!" Hua Qi
He smiled and seemed to be in high spirits, "Just ask Aunt Zhu to tell Manager Shan that I will go to his place tomorrow. I will study with him in the morning and go to the restaurant in the afternoon!"
Zhu thought for a while, Hua Qi was better off like this than staying in the room all day, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, you are the master, you have the final say!"
Hua Qi couldn't help but said: "Aunt Zhu, look, you are here again. What a master and servant. If you don't mind, we can be considered a family!"
Zhu just smiled and said nothing.
Starting from the second day, Hua Qi went to Chu Mansion in the morning and followed Shan Laoer to listen to the reports from the shopkeepers. In the afternoon, he went to the restaurant to study. Gradually, he became more energetic.
Hundreds of miles away in the capital, in the court hall, several ministers were arguing over the repeated military defeats on the front line. On the dragon chair, Li Li closed his eyes tightly and pressed his fingers tightly.
Forehead, irritability.
"Enough!" Finally, Li Li couldn't bear it anymore and roared loudly: "You guys know how to talk on paper. If you have so many ideas, why don't you go into battle to kill the enemy? Someone, drag them all out!
"
Xiao Fuzi was stunned. Those who were discussing political affairs just now were all confidential ministers. They were dragged out for no reason...
Yang Xin and Yu Hanlin looked at each other, stood still and waited to see what would happen.
"What? Can't you hear what I said?" Li Li shouted loudly.
Xiao Fuzi quickly ordered the guards, "Hurry, hurry!"
The ministers who were still arguing just now came to their senses and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I don't dare anymore. Please calm down, Your Majesty!"
Li Li was very agitated, and he was still willing to listen to the pleas of these people. He waved his hand and asked the guards to drag him out.
The adults were dragged out, and the hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone lowered their eyes and lowered their eyebrows, with cautious expressions. No one dared to say a word.
"Is there nothing else? If nothing happens, leave the court!" Li Li said irritably.
"Your Majesty, I still have this memorial!" Suddenly, Yang Xin stood up from the team and presented his memorial with both hands.
Li Li narrowed his eyes. Although Li Li did not demote Yang Xin, Yu Hanlin and others, he did not reuse them. Perhaps just like he did with Li Huang, he had been hesitating and not made any decision.
"Say it!" Li Li waved his hand lazily, but thick dark clouds had already gathered in his eyes.
Yang Xin was not afraid at all and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the five towns of Huangtian, Liuxian, Yangguan, Dama and Shaoyang in Lucheng have recently reported a large influx of refugees. Weichen has investigated and found out that these people
They are all people from Pingliang. Because Pingliang fell, the people had no choice but to flee to Lucheng. Because there are too many refugees and the weather is getting warmer, there may be an epidemic. Please ask the emperor to decide on the cannon fodder of the Red Mansion this morning.
Read the full story of career!”
Li Li's eyes darkened, he was really afraid of what might happen. Immediately, his eyes became even colder, and he was about to lose his temper. Suddenly, a guard shouted from outside: "Report, there is an urgent report from Master Yang from 800 miles away!"
"
Yang Xin said happily: "Could it be that the situation in Lucheng has been alleviated? Your Majesty, please allow me to..."
Li Li nodded immediately.
Yang Xin hurriedly went outside the palace, and after a while, he happily entered the palace and said: "Your Majesty, good news, the issue of the refugees in Lucheng has been solved!"
Li Li was startled, then quickly raised his hand and said: "Play it quickly!"
Yang Xin came to the palace and said happily: "Your Majesty, Mr. Li and Mrs. Li came out of Lucheng. They really relieved the country's worries. They not only successfully resettled more than 3,000 refugees, but also excepted a large family in Liu County who were refugees.
Apart from the looting and killing, the lives of the people in Lucheng have not been affected at all and everything is as usual!"
As soon as Yang Xin said these words, not only the faces of the officials above the court were filled with joy, but even Li Xin relaxed his frown. He nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad, I want to reward this couple surnamed Li well.
It’s just that Li is the national surname. How can there be people with the surname Li among the people? Could it be that they have the same pronunciation?”
Yang Xin quickly and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, this couple surnamed Li is the prince and the lady of the Chu Mansion! I heard that the prince has married the lady of the Chu Mansion, and the two of them work together to relieve the emperor's worries. It is really our
Great blessing to the Li Kingdom!"
The smile on Li Li's face froze in an instant, his eyes darkened, and he said coldly: "That's enough. If he really cared about the people in his heart, he should have come back long ago. What's the point of doing this outside now? Okay, nothing.
Let the matter go!"
Li Li stood up and left the hall angrily.
Yang Xin and the ministers looked at each other, sighed quietly, and shook their heads.
In the imperial study room, Li Li closed his eyes tightly, his long eyelashes casting a faint dark shadow on his cold face.
A secret guard dressed in black knelt in front of the dragon case.
"Say!" Li Li said coldly.
"Reporting to the emperor, my subordinates have discovered a big news. This news is really unbelievable. I really..."
"Xia Yi, when did you become so indecisive? What news is it?" Li Li asked coldly.
"When my subordinates were investigating the whereabouts of Concubine Qing, they suddenly received news. Many people were saying that there were still survivors in the royal family of the Shura Kingdom. They said that there was a princess left behind, and that princess was none other than...
..." Xia Yi didn't dare to say any more.
"Just say it!" Li Xin's expression became solemn.
"That princess is Chu Yiqing, the eldest lady of the Chu Mansion!" Xia Yi finally vomited everything out, but after finishing speaking, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.
For a long time, Li Li didn't react at all, but the atmosphere in the entire imperial study room was terrifyingly dull.
After about a stick of incense, Li Xin's cold voice slowly sounded: "Is it true?"
Xia Yi nodded quickly: "Your Majesty, Chu Yiqing's identity is indeed suspicious! His subordinates have already found someone to confirm it. For this purpose, they also found all the nannies who helped Chu Mansion twenty years ago. The nanny confirmed that Chu Yiqing
Chu Yiqing, the eldest daughter of the mansion, is indeed not Zheng's biological child. The nanny also said that Chu Yiqing's biological mother is very mysterious. No one in the Chu family except Chu Zhantian and Zheng knows about [hp] Tiao·Jiao's savior's father. Moreover, Chu Yiqing's biological mother is very mysterious.
The subordinates also heard the news that Haiying Island and the four cities of Yanjing belong to Chu Yiqing only because Chu Yiqing is the last princess of Shura Kingdom!"
With a sound of "Bang!", a white jade inkstone on the dragon table fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Outside the study, Xiao Fuzi was so startled by the sound that he trembled all over. He couldn't help but poke his head to listen, and his face changed drastically when he heard it.
In the Chu Mansion, Chu Zhantian was writing a calligraphy. The butler serving beside him laughed and said, "The word "Master" is getting better and better. No wonder Master Yang and Master Yu came to the door to ask for it in person in the past few days!"
Chu Zhantian was in a good mood, and he laughed and said: "You are also good at flattering me! Okay, okay, I know that Shao Zheng wants a painting with such words, so I framed it and gave it to Shao Zheng
Bar!"
The butler said happily: "Thank you sir, the dog will be very happy this time!"
Chu Zhantian nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Shaozheng seems to have been at home for a long time, right?"
The housekeeper quickly said: "Two years!"
"It's strange to say that Huan'er was inseparable from him before, so why have he been so neglected in the past two years? Even when he led the army on an expedition, he was not taken with him? Shaozheng has always been Huan'er's right-hand man!" Chu Zhantian said strangely.
The housekeeper sighed and said, "Who knows? The old slave asked Quanzi, but Quanzi didn't say anything. The old slave guessed that Shaozheng had done something, and the master couldn't forgive him! Besides, the master has no shortage of talents around him, so I'm afraid he won't be able to use them.
Shao Zheng is here! That’s fine, I’m getting old and can’t do some things as well as I should. If Shao Zheng follows me, I can help take care of the Chu Mansion!”
Chu Zhantian nodded and said: "Then let Shaozheng be the young butler and help you take care of the things in the house. We are all old, so it's time to give up!"
The old housekeeper quickly said: "I am still in the prime of life, why do you say these words?"
Chu Zhantian sighed and said with a smile: "When the world is at peace and Huan'er comes back, I will retire and return to my hometown. It's enough after fighting for so many years. It's time for me to retreat bravely. By then, our brothers will be everywhere
How about going for a walk?”
The old housekeeper was startled, knowing that after what happened last time, Chu Zhantian was disheartened, so he said: "Where the master goes, the slave will naturally go there. As long as the time comes, the master will not despise the slave for his failure."
Just use it!”
Chu Zhantian smiled, raised his eyes to look out the window, and whispered: "Fortunately, Chu Huan and Qing'er have been close friends since childhood. When Huan'er comes back after completing his military exploits, he will be the king of Chu. It will be clear when the time comes.
I feel relieved that my son is protected by him! I hope Huan'er won't blame me for passing such a heavy responsibility to him!"
The old housekeeper sighed and said: "Master, in fact, you have done so much in the past two years. You are obviously doing it for the young master, but secretly you are not doing it for the eldest lady? But the eldest lady doesn't know anything. She doesn't come back during the holidays.
The old slave looked at it, and in his heart..."
Chu Zhantian also sighed and said, "I brought this upon myself. I knew clearly that she was being framed, but I was so busy fighting for power and gain that I never cared about her properly. In order to hide the scandal back then, I even wanted to kill the child.
She deserves to hate me! After all, I was selfish back then and I deserved to end up like this!"
"Master, don't say that, you..." The old housekeeper didn't know how to comfort Chu Zhantian for a moment.
"Sir, Eunuch Fu from the palace sent someone to deliver a letter!" Suddenly, a servant reported outside.
Chu Zhantian was stunned, and his eyes darkened. Xiao Fuzi was the insider he had managed to get in touch with in the past two years, just to prevent Chu Yiqing's affairs from being exposed. Now Xiao Fuzi took such a big risk to have someone deliver the letter.
Could it be...
The old housekeeper hurried out and came in after receiving the letter, his face also grim.

Dear friends, have a nice weekend. Remember to vote for Xiaoyao’s annual meeting primary election. The button is under the cover of Tianyuan. Thank you very much.
