After the old lady woke up and heard the order, her lips trembled for a long time, her eyes were gray and frightened, "How could this happen? How could the Chu family be reduced to this?"
"Princess," the dowry Tong who had served her for many years sighed, "I'm afraid that the master has done nothing wrong. The Chu family has really gone too far in these years."
"This is what we deserve," the old lady was still unwilling to accept the reality, and said in confusion and pain: "Our surname is Chu. My daughter married into the palace and became the queen, and my granddaughter also became the queen in the palace.
, Our Chu family is the largest family in the Northern Tang Dynasty today, and the Queen Mother’s Su family is not even worthy of carrying our shoes. Why is this happening? The Supreme Emperor actually ordered to kill me for the sake of a dead Lord Protector and a cheap maid.
Madam of the Chu family? I don’t understand, and I can’t accept it. You... help me out quickly, I want to enter the palace, and I want to see the Supreme Emperor."
"Princess, why are you doing this? This matter is over here. The eldest lady has also been convicted and died. Let's go back to Yuemei Nunnery." Nanny Tong advised.
"It's time to divorce, it's time to divorce her," the old lady stood up slowly, her steps trembling, "If you divorce her, she will not be a member of the Chu family, and she will not ask my Chu family to stand in front of hundreds of people in the palace.
The official's face was reprimanded by the Holy Master, and his face was completely lost."
Her vision went dark, there was a bang, and she fell to the ground and fainted.
Chu Shoufu did not give up just like that. He insisted on starting a liquidation and ordered people to check all the properties and properties of the Chu family's children and take them back. Everyone could only live on the monthly money distributed by the public.
This is just the beginning. Chu Shoufu has specially trained secret guards for a long time to secretly observe every move of the Chu family's children. Every word and deed they do outside must be reported back. If they are not conscious, they can only impose strict restrictions.
The Chu family is used to being arrogant. With this order, everyone felt like they were mourning for their heirs.
Chu Mingyang had been hiding in the room. She was frightened and developed a high fever. Mrs. Chu Er kept guarding her, and Chu Mingyang also hugged her tightly, and his teeth never stopped chattering.
Chu Mingcui cried so hard that she fainted several times. Finally, the chief assistant ordered her to be sent back to the palace.
The situation in the Chu family changed, and word quickly spread outside.
Because of the Chu family's disaster, no one dared to talk about those rumors anymore. It was only at this time that everyone realized that the imperial guard they were talking about was actually the Protector of the Country and a hero of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
Regarding this point, the Protector's family also came out to speak out. Anyone who dared to insult their ancestors again would be sent to the official for investigation.
Fang Yuyin's palace chaos is false, so naturally the rumors about Grandma Xi and Chu Shoufu are also false.
The rumors were dispelled without attack.
When Grandma Xi woke up, it was already calm outside.
The poison this time was very severe. Although the person was rescued, his throat was injured. He could speak, but his voice became hoarse.
She looked at the tearful princess and couldn't help but shed tears. She sighed softly and said in a hoarse voice: "I have failed the princess."
Yuan Qingling wiped her tears and said, "It's good to be alive."
Ah Si, on the other hand, was not so forbearing and just hugged Grandma Xi and cried loudly, "Why are you so cruel? The princess is still pregnant with the child. Don't you want to see the little prince born? Just be cruel and abandon her.
Us?"
Ah Si's cry was so contagious that Aunt Xi couldn't help crying.
Yuan Yongyi stood aside and cried too.
She has light tears and wants to cry when she sees others crying. In fact, she doesn't have much affection for Auntie Xi.
Yuan Qingling waited until everyone had stopped crying, and then she said softly to Aunt Xi: "Chu Shoufu is outside, do you want to see him?"
Before Grandma Xi could say anything, Ah Si said in a tearful tone: "Mammy, I want to see you, I must meet you. You don't even know that he severely punished your murderer. You must meet him and thank him."
Aunt Xi looked at Yuan Qingling and hesitated for a moment.
Yuan Qing Ling said: "If you want to see him, you can see him. If you don't want to see him, then I will ask him to come back."
Aunt Xi was silent for a moment and said, "If he has nothing to say, he won't come to me. See you later."
Yuan Qingling led everyone out and asked Ah Si to inform Chu Shoufu and invite him in.
She stood at the door, and Chu Shoufu came over and nodded slightly at her.
Yuanqing Lingfu returned the favor.
Chu Shoufu went in and the door was closed.
Aunt Xi sat on the bed, looking at his white hair, a little surprised, her heart ached slightly, "You..."
He raised his robe and sat down on the stool beside the bed, looking at her quietly.
He smiled, stretched out his hand to hold her hair, and said warmly: "It feels good to see you still sitting here."
Aunt Xi's voice was low and hoarse, "Yes, life is actually not a bad thing."
"You and I are both old, and we don't have much time left. We shouldn't waste it like this." He said, taking something out of his arms and putting it in front of her.
Auntie Xi took a closer look and found that it was actually a moldy embroidered purse.
She also smiled, "You still keep it?"
"Yes, it has fallen off the thread, and is stained with mildew, which cannot be washed away, but it is still a thing from my youth. It is valuable, so I kept it with me. I think about it, I will also bring it to the coffin for my burial in the future.
Item." He just shook it and put it back in his sleeve pocket.
Aunt Xi frowned, "This is a bit shabby as a burial object."
Chu Shoufu put his hands in his sleeve pockets and said thoughtfully: "Is it shabby? There's nothing you can do about it. This is the only precious thing I have in my life."
Grandma Xi smiled, her eyes turning red.
"Have you ever hated me?" she asked.
He thought for a while, "Hate? I have wanted to kill you, but I can't force others to do something difficult. Later, when I thought about it from your perspective, I understood. In fact, this is fine. If you get started, you won't be able to do anything.
Year, you will die, there are always so many cruel people in the world."
Aunt Xi nodded, "I was afraid of death back then."
He said: "I'm afraid of death. I can't marry you back. At least I still know that you are in the palace and that you are living well. Look, this life has passed. We are all well, so we are lucky."
He looked at her dreamingly, then shook his head slightly, "Look, you have become so old. Why do I always feel that you still have the same face as before when I look at you?"
"Yes, I really can't bear to meet you. You are the only one who remembers what I looked like when I was young." Aunt Xi sighed.
Before she left the palace and went to the palace, he rarely went to accompany the Supreme Emperor. If he went, she usually avoided him. Even if he met him, he would just look at each other without even saying hello.
So, these years, we are really at peace with each other.
"In a blink of an eye, beauties grow old and heroes grow old." He said.
Aunt Xi laughed again, "I have never been a beauty."
"Who are you? Which old lady is as good-looking as you?" He looked at her again, as if he couldn't see enough, and as if this farewell might lead to the sadness of never seeing her again.
Grandma Xi’s tears welled up in her eyelashes.
"The person who harmed you has been dealt with, and the Chu family should be put in order. If you are willing in the future, I will come to see you when I have time. If you don't want to see me, we should just stay safe as before," he said.
Aunt Xi looked at him and shook her head, "We are not necessarily in peace. If you want to come, come. It's almost time to die. I'm not afraid of what others will say, even if you come over to talk to me and have a drink.
Tea, listening to the wind and watching the rain are better than me alone."
Chu Shoufu laughed like a child and raised his head slightly to reveal that his face under his white hair was actually full of light, "Well, you know I'm busy and may not come here often. Let's take a look.
Let’s talk about it later.”
He stood up, stretched out his hand to hold her hair, and said softly: "Live a few more years, we will all work hard to live a few more years."
