The thorns the two women were holding were extremely prickly, and they even used a handkerchief to wrap their hands around them. Even so, there were still blood stains on their hands in several places.
Seeing the two of them shivering and starting to sort out the thorns, they really knew how painful it would be to put this thing on their bodies. Mrs. Chen was anxious: "Master, I have already gone to General Lu at four o'clock to beg for mercy." He pointed out that
I have to ask Qianxue, otherwise this matter will not go away. I asked the fourth girl to serve him before, but he refused... As long as there are other ways, I will not scheme against the children I raised alone. "
Mr. Chen was unmoved: "Qianxue doesn't owe him anything."
"I owe it." Seeing the two mothers-in-law coming forward, Mrs. Chen spoke a lot faster: "General Lu said personally that if something happens to him, we will break off the engagement immediately. It's too cool, Qianxue
I also have a share."
Chu Yunli reminded: "I am an unmarried girl, and all major marriage matters are decided by my elders. It was you who proposed the engagement, and it was you who proposed the annulment. When doing these two things, none of you asked me what I meant before.
"
This is also true.
Mr. Chen nodded: "Yes, if she wants to blame us for adding insult to injury, she will also start blaming me and you. It has nothing to do with Qianxue."
The mother-in-law over there had already pulled away the bunched thorns and put them on Mrs. Chen. As soon as they touched her skin, she couldn't help but scream: "Master, Qianxue has been divorced. Let her help the family."
Once, she has a home, we can rest assured that General Lu can still calm down, and we can do it with one stone! Why can't you understand such a good deal? "
Master Chen seemed not to have heard this and only ordered: "Tie it up tighter."
Mrs. Chen: "..." The thorns hurt so much just being put on my body, but why are they tied tightly?
Just stab her to death!
Over the years, Mrs. Chen has been telling the truth in the back house, but in the final analysis, the master of the house is still Mr. Chen, and the mother-in-law can tell who is the master. Therefore, even if it is extremely difficult to tie people up with thorns in their hands, they still try to tie them as tightly as possible.
During this period, Mrs. Chen screamed repeatedly, her voice getting sharper and shriller.
Mr. Chen frowned when he heard this: "Shut her mouth!"
The mother-in-law didn't have anything suitable at hand, so she just dropped the thorn-wrapped veil on the ground and hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up.
The veil was emerald green and thorny, and Mrs. Chen screamed: "How dare you!"
When the words fell, his mouth was already blocked.
Mr. Chen looked helpless: "Madam, what you did back then was disgraceful. The fewer people who know about it, the better. If you don't scream, I won't shut up."
In addition to the thin strips for binding people, the thorns brought by the two women also included two old vines thicker than thumbs, which were reserved for Lu Shoukai to use for beating people.
After the people were tied up, they were sent directly to the carriage at the entrance of the main courtyard. Chu Yunli stood up and followed: "Dad, I want to go too!"
Mr. Chen turned around with a look of disapproval: "It's not appropriate for you and General Lu to meet more."
Chu Yunli said seriously: "Dad, if he is determined to win over me, the result will be the same whether I go or not."
This is true.
Mr. Chen looked at her deeply: "Then let's go together."
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the General's Mansion. Mr. Chen personally came forward and said a few words to the concierge. After waiting for a while, the side door opened and two carriages were let in.
Chu Yunli's carriage was behind, and when they arrived at the open area of the general's mansion, Lu Shoukai was already waiting there, with a pale Chen Feiyan standing next to him.
Mr. Chen went down first and asked the woman who had just tied him up to put his wife on the ground.
Mrs. Chen couldn't stop standing at all, and it was because she didn't dare to stand. She tried her best to huddle together, hoping that the thorns would loosen up, but this was just her extravagant hope. Not long after lying on the ground, the bluestone floor was already stained with dots of blood.
.
"General Lu." Mr. Chen stepped forward and saluted respectfully. He was not unwilling to face this former junior, and said apologetically: "The common people are usually busy with things and running around doing business. I don't know that back then
I only heard about what Madam did to the Lu family yesterday when she came back from other places. The common people felt that there was something wrong with this matter, and Madam should not have done anything to the Lu family back then. Today, the ordinary people sent Madam here to let the General handle it. As long as the General can
Calm down, the common people will have nothing to say."
Both his words and actions are extremely humble, which means that he can even kill people.
Lu Shoukai didn't look at him at all, his eyes kept falling on Chu Yunli.
"How did you escape the day Feiyan came through?"
"Escape?" Chu Yunli looked puzzled: "On the day when the fourth sister got married, I went to bed with the child early. I don't understand what the general said."
Lu Shoukai looked at her deeply: "Qianxue, it was the Chen family that was sorry for my Lu family back then. I always remember how my mother was bullied by those officers and soldiers... They did not dare to bully the women, but they would deliberately use whips to remove their clothes.
It’s so tattered, my mother’s clothes are the most tattered…”
When Mr. Chen heard him talking about this, he began to feel uncomfortable. It was difficult to explain such deep resentment. He hurriedly interrupted: "General, my wife has passed away. It is better not to mention anything about her."
These are not good things. Don't make people feel uneasy even if they die.
"Don't mention it?" Lu Shoukai finally looked at him: "It is precisely because these things are vivid in my mind every time I think of them, so I can walk step by step to where I am today. Mr. Chen, I, the thirteen female relatives of the Lu family, could not bear it on the road and sought death.
Four of them were killed, and seven of them died of illness due to deliberate abuse by the officers and soldiers. Today, only my aunt is left alive."
He looked at Mrs. Chen with cold eyes: "This was all caused by her bribery of the escort officials."
Mrs. Chen whined, obviously having something to say.
Chu Yunli thought thoughtfully: "The yamen itself is not very polite to the prisoners who are assigned." To put it bluntly, even without Mrs. Chen's bribery, the Lu family would not be much better.
Mr. Chen understood what she meant and agreed: "General Lu, what you should hate is the people who framed your Lu family back then, and then found ways to change the various rules of the court regarding the guards who assign prisoners."
"According to what you say, your family is right?" Lu Shoukai's eyes were full of anger: "Mr. Chen, her life cannot repay the humiliation my Lu family suffered."
Mr. Chen opened his mouth and wanted to say that the Lu family's humiliation was not caused by the Chen family. But it was obvious that Lu Shoukai couldn't listen to this at the moment. The more he said, it would only make Lu Shoukai angrier and make it harder to end it.
.
"There is something wrong with our family." Chu Yunli said, "It's not right for my father and my wife to break off the engagement, but they are also trying to protect me. If your daughter is involved in this kind of thing, would you let your daughter break off the engagement and go to her husband's family?"
Should we completely cut off the relationship, or should we insert our daughter into the group of assigned people and let her die?"
Yes, if the engagement between the two was still there, Chen Qianxue should indeed leave with the person she was assigned to.
If you really do that, it will just be one more female member of the Lu family who will be killed. Besides, Chen Qian is pretty and in her prime, so she might be even worse off than Mrs. Lu.
Lu Shoukai turned around and looked over: "Chen Qianxue, I am an honest person. When we first kissed you, I already regarded you as my wife and was determined to stay with you for the rest of my life. However, as soon as something happened to me, you turned around and left without even looking at your head.
You didn't reply, you didn't even come to give me a ride. How could I not hate you?"
Chu Yunli corrected: "I wanted to give it away at that time, but my wife refused to let me go. She couldn't stop me, and she even said she would help me go. The Chen family is a merchant, and you can already make money by giving away money casually.
My family was living comfortably on the road, so I didn’t ask any more questions. Besides, based on our relationship at that time... you said you considered me your wife. To be honest, I didn’t see it and didn’t think you did.
How deep your feelings for me will be. We are just an unmarried couple who have not yet gone through the six rites. I will give you a sum of money, thinking that I am completely benevolent."
Lu Shoukai said coldly: "You are really a merchant! Everything can be measured in money. Even if it is as you said, I did not receive the money from you. Instead, I received a big gift from the Chen family!"
Mr. Chen couldn't help it anymore: "That was Madam's fault. I didn't know about it beforehand. If I knew about it, I would definitely stop it."
Of course, he had no intention of sending money to the Lu family. At that time, the Lu family had just been sentenced and almost became street rats that everyone wanted to beat up. They were also involved in such a life-threatening matter as selling illegal salt. The Chen family were both businessmen, and they were still friends with the Lu family.
He is one of the people whose family is relatively close to him. It is too late to tell him apart. How can he dare to move forward?
However, he could still see that in Lu Shoukai's eyes, the Chen family's divorce was absolutely undesirable, and coupled with his wife's bribery of the government officials, it was simply not a pity to die.
He pointed at Mrs. Chen on the ground: "Wrong is wrong, I don't admit it. I have already tied him up, and you can do whatever you want. If you still don't calm down and insist on worrying about what happened back then, then you will sue my wife."
In court, your Excellency will handle it according to the law, no matter what kind of punishment I will bear."
The implication is that if Lu Shoukai wants to keep it private, he will accept it if he goes to court to deal with the Chen family.
Mr. Chen is a very shrewd businessman, and Chu Yunli also heard it. What he said was to do things "according to the law." Then Lu Shoukai couldn't pressure the officials to severely punish the Chen family. If he did that, Mr. Chen would not recognize it.
!
Lu Shoukai seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "They say they should be merciful and forgiving. Enemies should be reconciled rather than reconciled. No matter what happened to the Lu family, nothing can make up for it. Mr. Chen may not know that I have already made a condition to my wife.
, From the beginning to the end, all I want is Qianxue, as long as she follows me, the past will be wiped out."
Mr. Chen: "..."
He had already thought of this outcome before coming.
But he still kidnapped his wife, firstly because he didn't want to give up and wanted to try again. Secondly, it was also to show his attitude of admitting his mistake. There are more than a hundred people in the Chen family, and they cannot just muddle along because of the wife's fault.
Lost his life.
"This..." He looked at Chu Yunli: "Qianxue was right from beginning to end. This is inappropriate."
"I didn't say she was wrong." Lu Shoukai smiled half-heartedly: "It depends on what Mr. Chen chooses."
Businessmen are all about getting the maximum benefit at the minimum price. Mr. Chen looked hesitant.
With just this hesitation, Chu Yunli already knew what he was thinking.
Mrs. Chen on the ground breathed a sigh of relief. When her mother-in-law gagged her, she didn't use any cruel tactics. She was lying on the ground in a low voice and kept using her tongue secretly. At this moment, she finally spit out the handkerchief and said: "
Master, just agree to General Lu, this is the only way. Qianxue can exchange hundreds of lives for our Chen family, do you still need to consider this?"
"Shut up!" Mr. Chen's face turned pale.
Chu Yunli suddenly smiled. The bright red cloak made her eyebrows more beautiful. This smile made the surrounding scenery seem dull and tasteless, as if she was the only color left in the world.
When Mr. Chen looked at his daughter like this, he suddenly understood Lu Shoukai. This look was so attractive.
"General Lu, Qianxue is already married with a child. It's not suitable for you two to be together. It will cause gossip, and the general's wife is definitely not willing to accept Qianxue. You really lead people."
If I leave, I will be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma..."
"That's my business." Lu Shoukai interrupted him rudely: "Don't say anything more. I'll just make this condition. Just say whether you agree or not."
Chu Yunli's smile deepened and she stretched out her hand to touch her face: "I never knew that this face was of such great use. General Lu, if you said that I would cut this face to pieces with a knife..."
Lu Shoukai said coldly: "If you dare to do that, I can guarantee that the Chen family will be even worse off than the Lu family was before." He then looked at Mrs. Chen on the ground: "I gave him away twice, but neither of them was what I wanted. This
This is your last chance."
Mrs. Chen was really afraid of death and shuddered: "Master, please agree!"
Mr. Chen did not have the courage to reject Lu Shoukai's proposal. It was related to the family fortune accumulated by the Chen family's ancestors and the lives of the whole family. He did not dare to be rash. He closed his eyes and said, "I want to think about it."
"I'll give you time for a stick of incense." After Lu Shoukai finished speaking, the guard beside him immediately lit a stick of incense.
The incense burns quickly, and 30% of it is gone in the blink of an eye.
Mr. Chen's pleading eyes fell on Chu Yunli: "Qianxue, this... dad is sorry for you."
Therefore, Mrs. Chen was actually right. Even if Mr. Chen knew about this matter, the result would still be the same.
Chu Yunli's face was pale.
Mr. Chen's eyes were red: "Qianxue, whatever you want, dad will satisfy you. Don't worry, I will help you take good care of the child. If one day the general doesn't want you anymore, just go home, and you will be able to stay at home."
Place. If I have something to eat, you will never go hungry."
Chu Yunli reminded: "After I go, I will be beaten to death by the general's wife."
Mr. Chen looked at Lu Shoukai and wanted to ask him for a promise. But he didn't know how to ask.
Lu Shoukai seemed not to notice his hesitation, and only stared at the incense over there.
Mr. Chen gritted his teeth: "General Lu, can you protect Qianxue?"
"It depends on herself." Lu Shoukai said meaningfully: "If she can make me happy, then I will naturally protect her. If she doesn't know how to serve others, I will be upset if I see her. Then I don't need my wife to do anything."
I killed her myself!"
It's just that I didn't say it clearly. After Chen Qianxue goes there, if you don't obey, you will die!
Chu Yunli looked sarcastic: "So, I don't have a choice, right?"
No one answered. Mr. Chen was embarrassed, while Lu Shoukai looked like it had nothing to do with him.
"It's okay if you want me to follow the general." As soon as Chu Yunli said these words, she noticed that everyone's eyes were on her. She smiled and looked at Mrs. Chen on the ground: "I remember saying it before,
Even if I get to the general, I will never make it easy for you."
She turned her head and looked at Lu Shoukai: "Since you have already taken the blame and you are full of resentment towards her, why are you being polite? One of the conditions for me to follow you willingly is to beat her up."
Mrs. Chen's expression changed drastically, and she opened her mouth to beg for mercy: "General, I..."
Chu Yunli interrupted her: "This woman is not doing her job well. She has failed to deliver me to you several times. She should be beaten!"
Mrs. Chen glared over fiercely: "General Lu, I am her mother, and I really hope that you two will be together."
Chu Yunli bluntly exposed her: "You were the one who broke off the engagement, and you were the one who went to the prison to retrieve the token."
Mrs. Chen wanted to curse: "I did it for your own good."
Chu Yunli mocked: "But I'm not good either! Without a family, my reputation will be ruined. Later, the He Junfeng you chose for me was not a good person, but you said it was for me, rather than for yourself."
Lu Shoukai had already taken the thorn as thick as his thumb from the mother-in-law's hand, put the two thorns together, and whipped them towards Mrs. Chen fiercely.
In just one moment, Mrs. Chen screamed in pain. Halfway through the scream, she fainted.
Lu Shoukai did not stop, but struck hard again. Mrs. Chen was awakened by the pain and screamed repeatedly.
Mr. Chen turned his face away, not daring to look again. He quietly touched Chu Yunli's side and stuffed a handful of banknotes over her: "Qianxue, I'm sorry, dad, just hold it close to me!"
Chu Yunli took it smoothly, and then heard Mr. Chen say again: "You have to be smarter. No matter what, the most important thing is to save your life. If you have life, there will be other things."
"I have conditions!" Chu Yunli stuffed the banknotes into his sleeves and adjusted his cloak: "Chen Qingsong and his wife plotted against me before. I don't want him to be the next head of the Chen family. You have to drive him out and don't take care of me secretly.
, let him fend for himself."
Mr. Chen opened his mouth.
Chu Yunli looked sideways at him: "Can't do it?"
Chen Qingsong is the next head of the family that Mr. Chen has worked hard to teach. In order to prevent his brothers from fighting against each other, he has no intention of caring for the other children. If the child who has worked hard to teach him is gone, who will be the head of the Chen family?
Furthermore, he himself made the same choice as his son, and he didn't think his son made much of a mistake.
"I'll ask your eldest brother to apologize to you later. You can teach him whatever you want, okay?"
Chu Yunli had already looked at Mrs. Chen who had fainted again over there: "If we can't do it, I will let Lu Shoukai deal with the Chen family later. It depends on whether you are willing to give up your son or the Chen family's ancestral foundation."
Mr. Chen's expression suddenly changed. He looked at his daughter's profile as if he didn't recognize her. After all, compared with the property left by the Chen family's ancestors, what is a son?
Lu Shoukai over there was slapped a few more times, but Mrs. Chen on the ground no longer had the strength to scream, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably every time she was hit.
Seeing that he was about to kill someone, Lu Shoukai retracted his hand and threw away the thorns in his hand: "Get out!"
Mr. Chen looked at Mrs. Chen who was bleeding like a gourd on the ground, and hurriedly signaled to his mother-in-law to drag her away. He did not dare to say any more, and after bowing to Lu Shoukai, he left.
Chu Yunli looked at his back and said: "My wife made me an abandoned wife. I still remember this. Father, she brought disaster to the whole family and almost caused the catastrophe of genocide. She does not love her children. Hugh
Isn’t it too much to kill her?”
Mrs. Chen was unaware. Mr. Chen paused for a moment, said yes, and left quickly.
Chu Yunli watched the group of them disappear, and Lu Shoukai slowly approached beside him, with a friendly attitude: "Qianxue, follow me."
Chen Feiyan's face had already turned pale. She was frightened by Lu Shoukai's beating of Mrs. Chen just now. When Lu Shoukai reached for her sister's hand, she couldn't help but said, "General, sister, she is an abandoned wife!"
It's been a few days since we met, and he slapped her on the wedding night. She didn't even see him in the next few days. If her father and wife hadn't come today, she would probably still be locked up in the yard. Even if she was a concubine, she would still be locked up in the yard.
Could it be that the serious daughter of everyone is not as good as Chen Qianxue, a woman who has given birth to a child?
"This general knows!" Lu Shoukai looked at her coldly: "Are you reminding me of my incompetence, that I can't even protect my own woman?"
If he had had the ability back then and found a way to clear the Lu family's charges, the Lu family would not have suffered such a disaster.
Chen Feiyan had just seen him beating people until they were breathless like Shura. Faced with his cold face, she was so frightened that her legs shook and she couldn't say a word.
When nothing happened, the Lu Mansion was as good as the Chen Mansion, and the Lu Mansion even had a deeper foundation. Now that the courtyard has been renovated in Lu Shoukai's hands, it is even more magnificent than before.
Nowadays, there are many fewer masters in the Lu family, and they all live in the capital. In this huge courtyard, apart from Lu Shoukai, Chen Feiyan is the only decent master.
Therefore, Chu Yunli's courtyard was arranged next to the main courtyard. It was as warm as spring inside, and it was beautifully maintained even in winter. Chu Yunli had no intention of admiring it, because this was the first time that Chen Qianxue and Lu Shoukai met
The place to consummate the marriage is also her nightmare.
"Like it?"
Chu Yunli didn't even look back: "It's okay."
The two of them entered the house. Chu Yunli heard the door close behind her. Immediately afterwards, the man came up to her, put a pair of big hands on her waist, and put his head on her shoulder: "Qianxue, I want to
I want you to be willing, and now you finally..."
Chu Yunli pushed his head away: "It's not yet time. I want to see the divorce letter written by my father. I will talk about it after Madam and Chen Qingsong are kicked out."
Lu Shoukai frowned: "You will be mine sooner or later anyway, why bother with these little things? It is the stupidest thing to delay your own enjoyment for others."
Chu Yunli looked back at him and said sincerely: "Don't force me!"
She knows how to beat people up!
