Chapter 16 is outrageous

But is it really that simple? For some reason, despite being happy, Chu Ci still felt a sense of unreality.

Sometimes, this person really can't help but trust his intuition. Chu Ci was about to speak when he saw a pheasant pounce into Chu Ling'er's arms and die.

The key point is that at the same moment, Chu Ci felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart. It wasn't painful, but it was outrageous!

However, seeing Chu Ci hesitate to speak, Chu Junyi felt that she was being treated poorly and said with dissatisfaction, "Chu Ci, you shouldn't be too calculative. The circumstances at that time were special. Mother and sister have apologized to you, and Zhang has also knelt before you. Are you really going to be so cruel and heartless?"

He was so good at using moral blackmail that Chu Ci was practically amused. "You're being magnanimous? Why don't you give him your own rations? And besides, I just love to quibble. So, how about a few slaps in the face?"

"You...it's only been a few days, how could you become so vulgar? It's such a disgrace to our Chu family." Chu Junyi didn't expect Chu Ci to dare to scold him, and subconsciously started to scold him.

He's really been spoiled. Since he didn't answer, Chu Ci took it as his consent and slapped him. "Do you really think I don't dare to hit you! Now, immediately, get out of here——"

"There is nothing to laugh at, but there is something to envy." The escorting officers were no exception. They had ignored the chaotic scene and instead watched the excitement with great interest.

However, seeing that the entire Chu family, even if tied together, couldn't defeat Chu Ci alone, they were quite discouraged. Someone who was a bit nosy simply stood up and said, "Even if the adults are guilty of a grave fault, the child is innocent."

Chu Ci didn't get angry, instead giving the other person a meaningful look. "Ah—, the child is innocent, right? If you think so, why don't you give him more food?"

Without waiting for a response, he continued to ask, "How much can a child, no matter how much he eats? If each of you saves a bite from each meal, it will be enough for him, right?"

Isn't it just moral kidnapping? She can do it too.

The officer, frustrated and angry, resorted to using his status as an excuse. "How dare you compare us to the son of a mere criminal?"

The effect of the continuous taming over ten days was remarkable. Seeing the official's anger, the Chu and Liu families all lowered their heads wisely.

Seeing the situation was bad, Lao Qian, the leader of Chu Ci's group, hurried over. "Boss Zhang, Boss Zhang, calm down, calm down. Let's talk about what's going on."

We all eat from the same pot, so no one knows each other.

Anyone who could make Lao Qian and Qian Chuanzi work so hard to protect him must be either rich or rich and powerful. So without saying anything, he just walked down the ladder and left.

Chu Junyi who was thrown away, and Zhang Ying who knelt and kowtowed?

For a moment, they didn't know whether to continue, stop, or even retreat. The two unwilling people secretly glanced at the Fan family, each of them standing still as if frozen in place.

Why is it completely different from what I expected?

You know, everyone in the capital knows that Madam Fan attaches great importance to reputation. And if Chu Ci wants to gain a foothold in the Fan family, this person must be saved, whether he is saved or not.

Zhang Ying had calculated everything correctly, except for one thing: Chu Ci was not the original owner, and Old Madam Fan was no longer the old lady who had ruled the Grand Tutor's Mansion with absolute authority.

Chu Junyi was even more of a loser. He was beaten up and just gave up!

And Chu Ling'er is quite talkative. Now that she has a pheasant in her arms, why is she silent?

However, whoever has the child will feel the pain. If Zhang Ying retreats now, her child will really have no chance of survival. "Old Madam, Old Madam, I know that you are a kind person rarely seen in the capital. Please, please, save Hao'er."

Although Madam Chu disliked the Chu family's actions, she did say something that made sense: the young son was innocent. Madam Fan, being a mother herself, could understand her feelings. "Even if the Jingrui family has been severed, they were once your closest relatives. It's best to deal with them properly."

"Yes." Chu Ci bowed slightly, then walked to Zhang Ying's side and helped her up: "I can help you, but you have to agree to one condition."

"I agree." Zhang Ying agreed without even thinking about it or asking what the conditions were.

So smooth? Chu Ci was puzzled. "If you had used this energy on the Chu family, your son might not have suffered this disaster, right?"

"It was Chu Ling'er. Chu Junyi gave Hao'er's rations to Chu Ling'er and told the child to keep it a secret." At this point, Zhang Ying no longer cared about the relationship between husband and wife.

Zhang Ying wasn't hiding from people, so Chu Ling'er couldn't pretend she didn't hear anything. "I don't know, I thought it was Big Brother..."

Anyway, the fault is always someone else's, and Chu Ling'er is always a pure white lotus.

Unfortunately, Zhang Ying had already understood the Chu family's character after more than ten days of exile. Therefore, he was too lazy to even argue: "So, I don't blame you."

"Now, I just want my son to survive. Whoever blocks my son's way to survival, I will die with him." Zhang Ying said resolutely.

Chu Ci understood that this was not only a warning to Chu Ling'er, but also to the Chu family and herself. But she didn't care. The current Zhang Ying was a flesh-and-blood Zhang Ying.

But, one thing is one thing. Every bit of revenge must be taken. "Okay, my condition is that from today on, you will be my Chu Ci's maid until we reach Yazhou."

"I agree."

"No, I can't agree. Sister-in-law, Chu Ci is deliberately humiliating you." Zhang Ying and Chu Ling'er's voices sounded almost at the same time, but their meanings were completely opposite.

The other members of the Chu family didn't say anything, but their eyes were full of resentment when they looked at Chu Ci.

But would Chu Ci care? "Zhang Ying, former sister-in-law. Look at your son, the bloodline of the Chu family. In the eyes of these people, he is not as valuable as their face? So, what is your decision?"

"I agree." Zhang Ying's words were like a slap in the face of the Chu family.

Chu Linger was furious. Zhang Ying's family was still in Beijing, so she didn't dare to offend them. So she habitually slandered Chu Ci: "Sister, how can you be so selfish..."

Chu Ci was not his original self and slapped him directly. "I'm not only selfish, but also vicious. It hurts when I hit someone! Is that enough? If not, I'll give you two more slaps. You are not selfish, you are not vicious? Instead, cook the pheasant in your arms."

"No, this is to nourish mom and dad. I believe Hao'er will agree." Is this human language?

Chu Ci opened her mouth and was about to speak passionately, but her heart suddenly felt like it was being stabbed. It really hurt! No wonder the original body was so stiff, any normal person would not be able to bear it.
