Chapter 26: Ah Zhao loves me, and my mother will understand me
"Thank you, Yuheng, for your concern. While it's still early, you might as well go to Yiyun Academy and ask the manager for the academy's income. The academy was built with the military pay of our Beijing Army, so the income should belong to us, just right to subsidize the soldiers."
Xie Yuheng immediately perked up when he heard this, and smiled at Chen Zhao: "Thank you, Brother Chu, for your kindness. I promise I will not fail in my mission." He quickly mounted his horse and left.
Brother Chu thinks too highly of him and gives him the opportunity to show himself in front of the soldiers in the army. This is really a great honor for him.
He must handle this matter properly and not let Brother Chu down.
Looking at Xie Yuheng leaving happily, Chen Zhao felt a little guilty.
It's not that she wants to trick Xie Yuheng, it's just that Xie Yuheng is too rude.
The profits from Yiyun Academy had already gone into the prince's pocket, and it would be extremely difficult to get them back.
But it's also good to make Pang Qingyun anxious and exhausted.
This would cause Xie Yuheng to be hated by the prince's party.
Shen Zhao glanced at the two Pang brothers again and felt much more comfortable.
Especially when I saw their faces covered in bruises.
Pang Yunjin and Pang Yunche returned home with injuries, and she was sure that Pang Yunjin would not tell where the injuries came from.
Pang Yunche was injured by Xie Yuheng, and Pang Qingyun would not dare to cause trouble at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion even if he had the ability.
He could only hold it in. Thinking of Pang Qingyun being humiliated, Shen Zhao felt extremely happy.
He walked towards the general's mansion with cheerful little steps.
Pang Yunjin and Pang Yunche were left looking at each other in front of the gate of the General's Mansion.
Is this still the stern and rigorous General Chu?
They could clearly see the gloating look on his face.
Those cheerful little steps humiliated the two brothers all the time.
They just want to say one word: How shameless!
Chu Mu walked in front in a depressed mood. As soon as he entered the backyard, five or six burly old women came towards him.
The old woman came with great momentum, and everyone's eyes lit up when they saw her.
One of the old women snorted coldly.
"Finally, this old servant and others have captured Madam. Madam has ordered Madam to go to Fulinyuan."
The other maids were not idle either. Three or five of them came forward and surrounded Chu Mu.
Two of them were about to grab Chu Mu's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.
Chu Mu's face darkened, and he was already feeling angry but had no place to vent.
With a nimble flip of his body, he cleverly avoided the siege of the old women.
Her delicate jade fingers lightly clasped the shoulders of a woman, and between pulling and pushing her back, she screamed: "My arm, my arm!"
He easily removed the old woman's arm.
He did the same to the other women who rushed towards him without knowing how to protect their own lives. Not only were his hands busy, but his feet were also busy.
He kicked the old woman in front of him to the ground and kicked her again at the end.
But in a moment, the old woman came to arrest him and question him.
They lay on the ground, rolling and wailing.
Shen Zhao came in and saw this scene.
Chu Mu was tidying up her messy skirt and clothes while speaking harshly to the old woman.
"If you ever touch this... my wife again, I won't just give you a beating."
Shen Zhao hurried forward, took Chu Mu's hand and examined it carefully.
He looked at Chu Mu carefully again.
His eyes were filled with heartache.
Don't hurt her body.
These old women have thick skin and flesh, but her body is now very delicate and weak.
In Chu Mu's eyes, Shen Zhao's actions meant that Ah Zhao cared about him.
Suddenly, most of the depression in my heart dissipated.
She was deeply moved. "A Zhao, I'm fine. You don't have to be so nervous. They can't hurt me."
Chen Zhao said, "I'm glad you're okay." He thought to himself, with your ability, if it weren't for my health, I wouldn't even look at you.
"Let's go. I wonder what the old lady wants to see you for?" Shen Zhao thought. Chu Miao complained quickly, but the old lady was even faster. The people looking for Chu Mu were almost in the front yard.
Little did he know that Chu Miao had just arrived at the old lady's yard and had no time to complain.
"It's a small matter. I will explain it to mother later. She will understand me."
He knew why his mother was looking for him. Chu Mu thought it was simple. He had good reasons to reduce the expenses in the house. His mother always advocated frugality.
Knowing the expenses of the mansion, he would never let the expenses of each courtyard be so high.
Chen Zhao looked at Chu Mu, who seemed to be confident, and did not ask any more questions.
She didn't know whether his mother would understand him.
She was sure that he would be beaten and scolded.
The two walked one after the other, and no one spoke.
The servants of Fulinyuan looked at the general and his wife who arrived at the same time with strange expressions.
He respectfully welcomed the two of them in.
A maid had already gone to the hall to report.
When Shen Zhao and the other two walked in, they saw the mansion's accountant kneeling in the hall.
Shen Zhao glanced at the people in the hall.
They all came together.
Everyone from the second house, even Lin Jiaojiao, who was pretending to be sick in bed, came.
But is that niece Chu Miao going to visit someone again? She hasn't arrived yet.
Chu Mu has done something that has angered God and the people again.
But what kind of look is Chu Lao Er wearing today?
Could it be that the trend of men wearing masks has reappeared in the literary circle?
"Mu'er, you're not training in the camp today? Why did you come back early today? Someone pour tea for the general and serve his favorite snacks."
The old lady kindly invited Shen Zhao to sit down.
It was as if he didn't see Chu Mu the whole time, just leaving him alone.
Shen Zhao sat down next to the old lady and took a sip of the fine Maojian tea before asking the question.
"Mother, what's going on? Why is the accountant kneeling here?"
The old lady sighed:
"My mother is old and useless, and someone is taking advantage of her. Today's money for the courtyard's expenses hasn't arrived yet. I sent someone to get it, but the accountant told me that from now on, each courtyard's expenses must not exceed twenty taels of silver."
"This is nothing, but the accountant said it's 20 taels per month instead of daily. Mu'er's mother is old, it's okay for her not to need money, but 20 taels of silver is not enough for your second brother's family!
Jun Ge'er and An Ge'er are studying in the National Academy without any money. Isn't this looked down upon? Shen is trying to destroy our Chu family!"
The old woman who imprisoned Shen came to report to her that Mu'er went straight to the ancestral hall in the side courtyard after the morning court session.
The bitch Shen was brought out, and because of Shen, the old woman who imprisoned her was beaten.
She was shocked at first, wondering if Mu'er would find out something, but then she thought again, the bitch's tablet didn't even have a surname, so what could Mu'er find out?
But what worries her is whether Mu'er will rekindle her old feelings for Shen.
That won't work.
"And Jiaojiao, she's weak and needs to be fed with medicinal food every day. The courtyard can't be short of silver. Twenty taels a month, isn't that too much for Jiaojiao? Mu'er, you said your mother can tolerate it, your second brother can tolerate it, but how can Jiaojiao bear it?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao secretly gave Chu Mu a thumbs up.
Good job.
You are really a good son to your mother, giving such a big gift to your mother and brother.
As she spoke, the old lady took Lin Jiaojiao's hand and said with tenderness:
"While you were attending the morning court, Shen Shi was harassing Jiao Jiao again. She pushed her to the ground right in front of everyone. Sigh... I really can't control her anymore. If I just punish her, she'll start withholding funds from the various courtyards. Mu Er, this Shen Shi is going to make a big fuss."
Lin Jiaojiao glanced at Chu Mu in fear and then timidly looked at Chen Zhao, her misty eyes filled with tenderness.
Said delicately:
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
