Chapter 104 It’s time to reorganize the General’s Mansion

Du Qian'an rolled his eyes at Du Kang. He was not here to take him back to the Du family.

Now that he already knew the answer he wanted, he no longer cared about Du Kang's life or death.

The Du family will find the things that the midwife and Du Kang left behind to prove Chu Renqing's background.

He had no interest in watching the drama that followed. He bowed to Chen Zhao and said, "Thank you, General Chu, for finding the descendants of the Du family for me. Now, it's General Chu's family affairs that I will no longer be involved in. I'll take my leave. I'll come to pick them up in a few days. Please arrange everything, General Chu. I promised not to give you a penny less."

Shen Zhao understood the meaning of Du Qian'an's words, and the Du family no longer cared about Du Kang's life or death.

The conditions promised by Du Qian'an remain unchanged, but the prerequisite is that she must persuade Chu Renqing to follow Du Qian'an back to the Du family.

This is easy to handle. Given Chu Renqing's guilt towards Chu Mu, he would agree without hesitation even if Chu Mu asked Chu Renqing to die.

"Master Du, rest assured. As long as you prepare what I request, you can come and take me back to the Du family at any time. I promise not to let you down."

After receiving Chen Zhao's assurance, Du Qi'an didn't want to stay any longer and immediately turned around and left.

Du Kang was confused. Why did he just leave like that?

Whatever the bastard wants, the Du family will give it to him. They should take him out immediately. What else are they preparing for?

"Don't leave, my Lord, take me with you. I'm a member of the Du family. Just agree to whatever he wants. I'll return it all to you when we get back to the Du family."

Du Qian'an didn't even turn his head and left quickly amid Du Kang's expectant shouts.

Du Kang was stunned for a moment. The reason why he dared to shout was because he relied on being a member of the Du family.

The evil creature didn't dare to kill him easily for the sake of the Du family's reputation.

But he was a little panicked now.

What does the Minister mean? Are you not going to save him?

Impossible, the Du family will not give up any one of their members.

It must be that the evil creature asked for too much, and the Minister was angry, so he ignored him.

The Du family will definitely rescue him.

Definitely.

"Mu'er, I came to the dungeon to interrogate this evil man because I was so angry. He said all these words to drive a wedge between us, mother and son, and you, your brother. Don't believe them."

The old lady looked at Shen Zhao eagerly.

Shen Zhao pretended to be sad and said, "Old Madam, I had full faith in you, but now that you are here, I have to doubt the truth of what Du Kang said.

The old lady's behavior will only make me mistakenly think that you are guilty and want to kill the existence that threatens you."

When Shen Zhao said this, the old lady's heart skipped a beat.

But after a moment, a feeling of grievance came over me.

Her eyes unconsciously turned red. Mu'er actually doubted her.

Mu'er, how could he doubt her?

"Mu'er, you would rather believe the words of a villain than trust me as your mother. Okay, okay, okay, mother knows."

After saying this, he shed a tear of sadness.

"Madam, how can I trust you? I just gave the order that no one is allowed to visit Du Kang, and what are you doing now?"

As he spoke, Shen Zhao looked at the guards behind him and said self-deprecatingly:

"I really doubt now whether this is still the General's Mansion, and whether I am still the most powerful master in this mansion.

Each and every one of them pretends to obey me but actually disobeys me and ignores my orders. Huh!

"Old Madam, who do you want me to trust? I am not a single person in this mansion, how can I trust you?"

What Shen Zhao said was serious.

The sound of people kneeling down was heard one after another.

"General, please forgive me."

"General, please forgive me."

Everyone kowtowed in the direction of Shen Zhao in fear and apologized.

What's wrong with the general today? That's the old lady.

When has the general ever lost his temper with the old lady?

"Mu'er! Are you suspecting that your mother is trying to manipulate you? How could you have such thoughts?

You are the child raised by your mother, and most of her thoughts are on you. Do you suspect that she has ulterior motives towards you?

How will your mother feel if you do this now? Who in this house will dare to obey your mother's orders in the future?

You have disappointed your mother so much."

The old lady spoke with tears in her eyes.

Mu'er must not be able to bear to see her crying so sadly.

Yes, she has been subtly influencing everyone in the General's Mansion to look down on her over the years.

Most of the servants were hers, but this was what she deserved.

It was she who brought up Mu'er and helped him become the general. She was responsible for more than half of the construction of the General's Mansion.

There's nothing wrong with her doing that.

"The old lady is wrong! I understand now. If I'm not your biological child, you can ignore my feelings.

The old lady keeps saying that it is for me, but may I ask how she did it for me?

Should I ask the servants in the mansion to pretend to obey me, or should I hide everything from me?

"Mu'er! It's not... it's not what you think." The old lady was completely panicked.

"What is that? Old Madam, if you really want me to trust you, then don't interfere in any affairs of the General's Mansion.

As long as the old lady can do it, I will believe you."

The old lady gritted her teeth. Mu'er had already become suspicious of her, and the most important thing now was to make Mu'er trust her.

"Okay, mother promises you that from now on, mother will no longer interfere in any affairs of the mansion."

Let's get through this hurdle first. After a few days, I can coax her well. She will have the final say.

"Okay, I'll trust the old lady for now. Someone, please take her back to the courtyard."

Immediately, someone got up from the ground and rushed forward.

After they left, Shen Zhao said to the few people who were still kneeling:

"Everyone, get out of here!"

Everyone rolled out, tumbling and crawling. The current general was too scary.

When everyone dispersed, only Shen Zhao, Chu Mu, and Du Kang were left in the dungeon.

Shen Zhao walked slowly towards Du Kang, took out the branding iron from the red-hot charcoal basin, and gestured at Du Kang.

The scorching smell coming towards him made Du Kang shrink back again and again.

"You...what are you doing? I'm from the Du family, and the Minister is here to take me back to the Du Mansion.

If you kill me now, the Du family will not let you go."

Chen Zhao sneered and said, "Du Kang, oh Du Kang, you don't know yet, I have signed an agreement with the Minister you mentioned.

I gave him a descendant of the Du family, and he gave me a million silver taels. But there are more descendants of the Du family in the Chu family than just you.

Do you think the Du family will be grateful to me for sending them a group of Du family descendants, or will they resent me for killing a useless person like you?"

Du Kang's eyes widened instantly. "The Du family will not give up on me. How could they give up on me? Even if they agree, my siblings and relatives will not agree."

Shen Zhao looked down at Du Kang and said that no matter how much she hated Du Kang, it was not to the point that she had to kill him.

After all, it was Chu Mu, not her, who had a grudge against Du Kang for murdering his father.

But Du Kang also indirectly harmed her.

He looked sarcastically at Du Kang, who was still confused and hoping that his relatives would come to rescue him.

Word by word, he broke Du Kang's fantasy and said:

After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
