The people in the General's residence discovered that both their General and Madam had become extremely abnormal. The General, who used to be a man of few words, filial, brotherly, and doted on...
Chapter 259: The Beijing Camp is in need of a Shit Shoveler
"I apologize for any offense, and I hope General Chu will forgive me."
As she spoke, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty kept winking at Wu Lan'er.
Wu Lan'er turned her head away and ignored the actions of the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty.
If she wants to apologize, she can just go and make it.
Anyway, she would not lower herself to apologize to the Shen family.
How could a woman whose family has fallen on hard times and who is not loved by her husband deserve this?
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty looked at Wu Lan'er's arrogant look and wished she could kick her back to the Marquis of Loyalty's mansion.
Just like her vixen mother, she was born with only a pretty face to seduce men.
Where does such arrogance come from for a concubine's daughter who is not presentable?
Chen Zhao looked at the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty at ease, "Madam Wu, you should apologize with an apologetic attitude. Since Miss Lingfu has such an attitude, I think you don't need to apologize for your crime. Go back to where you came from."
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty was furious, but she couldn't get angry in front of the woman named Chu.
She couldn't say anything harsh to the concubine who was seeking death, for fear that the little bitch would exaggerate and complain about her in front of the ancestors when she returned.
Thinking of Yunhai who is still suffering and unattended.
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty shed two tears of heartache.
She was expressing her true feelings and was truly distressed.
Her Hai'er was raised and protected by her since childhood. Except for the time when the Marquis got angry and punished Hai'er to kneel, her son had never suffered any injustice.
This time she changed the person she was talking to and turned to look at Chu Mu, saying with great sorrow:
"Mrs. Chu, please have mercy on me as a mother and spare Lan'er this time. I apologize to you on her behalf."
He said he was sorry, but he had no intention of apologizing and just sat there without moving an inch.
Chu Mu ignored the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, but looked at Shen Zhao and said, "Husband, I'm tired."
Upon hearing this, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty immediately said anxiously, "Madam Chu, what do you want in exchange for forgiving Lan'er for her recklessness?"
"Rash?"
Chu Mu said indifferently: "The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty is really good at making a big deal out of a small matter. It turns out that being disrespectful to me is just a recklessness."
"It seems that not only the young lady from the Ling Mansion has a bad attitude, but also the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty."
Chu Mu looked at the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty with displeasure.
Wu Lan'er snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "You have to rush forward to get your face hit."
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty endured for a while and swallowed down the anger in her heart.
"Lan'er, don't be rude!"
He turned and stood up again, "I said something wrong, I hope Madam Chu will forgive me."
She bowed to Chu Mu in humiliation, which really made her vomit.
Ever since she married into the Wu family, she had never been so humiliated in front of outsiders.
Chen Zhao looked at the reluctant wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, and smiled, "I'm afraid the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness hasn't told you yet, Madam, that the Crown Prince wants to stay in the capital camp to join the army."
"What?" The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty suddenly raised her head.
Yunhai wants to join the army!
Before she came to the General's Mansion, she went to the Marquis's courtyard specifically, but the Marquis did not tell her that Yunhai was going to join the army in the Beijing Camp!
How could this be possible? Yun Hai had just injured a deputy general of the Jingzhong Camp because of that beast, the Third Prince.
The Chu family and the Wu family were not on good terms.
If Yunhai had stayed in the Jingzhong Camp, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"General, you are joking, right? The Marquis didn't tell me that Yunhai would stay in the Beijing camp."
"I know Yun Hai was wrong to injure the deputy commander of the Jingzhong Camp, but he is the only heir of the Loyalty Marquisate. If something really happened to him under General Chu's command, I'm afraid General Chu wouldn't be able to bear the consequences."
"Madam Wu, there's no need to worry about that. I've never considered taking his life. It just so happens that the Beijing camp is short of a groom to scoop up shit, and I think your son is the right person for the job."
Upon hearing this, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty almost fell down and asked her son Hai'er to clean up the shit for the beast.
How could his precious Hai'er endure such humiliation!
Chen Zhao continued to poke at the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty, "I see that the prince is very weak. How can I let the soldiers under my command in the capital camp be useless?
I will plan to..."
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty felt heartbroken and immediately asked subconsciously:
"What is General Chu planning?"
Chen Zhao said calmly, “I intend to have the prince train with the army during the day.
In order to strengthen the Crown Prince's physique, I have developed a special training method for him."
"What method?" The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty broke out in cold sweat on her palms.
"The Thousand Hammers and Hundred Blows method happened to be used during Deputy General Yao's recovery period, leaving his five hundred soldiers without anyone to supervise them.
Let them use the prince as a target..."
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty's heart instantly rose to her throat.
He quickly said, "No! General Chu, you absolutely cannot do this!
How could my Hai'er be used as a target, a living target for five hundred soldiers? How could he possibly survive?!"
Thinking of those sandbag-sized fists falling on her son, her heart couldn't stop trembling.
"Look at this general's mouth, how could I say something wrong?"
Shen Zhao was quite annoyed.
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
She said that Hai'er is the eldest son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness. General Chu would not be so tactless as to let people beat Hai'er to death.
"It was those five hundred soldiers who used him as a target for the prince."
Upon hearing this, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty was completely relieved.
The man surnamed Chu was sensible and knew that he could not afford to offend the Wu family.
Shen Zhao watched as a smug look spread across the face of the Marquis of Loyalty's wife.
Changing the subject, he said, "However, this target is not an ordinary target. In order to improve the prince's fighting ability, those soldiers have to fight against him.
Mrs. Wu's arrival today is just the right time, so I'll just say a few words in advance. In a fight, injuries and blood are inevitable, and it's normal for serious cases to lose limbs.
If the Crown Prince is missing any parts at that time, I hope Madam Wu and Marquis Zhongyi will not blame my men for their recklessness."
Shen Zhao deliberately emphasized the word "reckless".
"This general has worked very hard for the prince. During the day, he exercises his body, and at night, he shovels horse manure. In order to let him truly integrate into the Beijing camp, only two hours of sleep a day is enough.
I have put a lot of effort into this for him, Madam Wu.
We must not let the Crown Prince worry about his life, nor let him live too leisurely."
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty was horrified when she heard this and fell back into her chair.
This guy named Chu is so vicious!
He was torturing Hai'er in various ways.
She also wants her Hai'er to be unable to live or die!
"What will General Chu do to let my son go?"
Even though the Marquis doesn't care about Yunhai's life or death, she, as his mother, cannot ignore it.
No matter what the cost, she must rescue Hai'er from the capital.
"Look at what Madam Wu said. I only left the prince in the camp in the capital to atone for his recklessness. I didn't do anything to him, so how can I let him go or not?
Don’t you think I am right, Madam Wu?
The words "Mrs. Wu" made the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty tremble with fear.
If she couldn't understand the sarcasm in Mr. Chu's words, she would have lived in vain all these years.
"Wu Lan'er, apologize to Madam Chu immediately!"
Wu Lan'er immediately said unwillingly: "I did nothing wrong. If my stepmother wants to show her affection for others, she will be cold..."
“Pah…”
"ah……"
The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty looked at Shen Zhao's increasingly cold expression, turned around and slapped Wu Lan'er, who was still chattering.
"You actually hit me, you actually dared to hit me!"
