Chapter 31 Slapping Brother
The second lady choked.
Looking at the third brother's stern eyes, he smacked his lips and dared not say anything more.
He couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart. If only the second son of the Chu family could become an official in the capital like the third son.
Instead of being a scholar till now, he is not even a juren.
How could she bear such humiliation and being scolded, especially by that little bitch Shen?
He clearly couldn't protect himself, yet he still dared to scold her. Humph, just wait until she is completely abandoned by the third brother.
See if she won't teach this shameless vixen a lesson.
Don’t let her dare to seduce that coward Chu Lao Er again.
The old lady flicked the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "Mu'er, since the truth has been revealed, I will no longer ask how to deal with Shen's mother. The decision is entirely yours."
As if she had thought of something, the old lady added, "Mu'er, although Shen Shi is wrong, our Chu family cannot divorce her now. Otherwise, the outside world will say that our Chu family is heartless and ungrateful, and that we are divorcing Shen Shi and marrying another woman just because she sees the Shen family in decline."
Lin Jiaojiao, who had been watching the show on the side, had a hint of resentment in her eyes.
A dead wife speaks better than she sings.
If that bitch Shen didn't have a generous dowry for them to squander.
The damn old woman had already forced Brother Mu to divorce his wife.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiaojiao couldn't help feeling annoyed. She withdrew large sums of money from the mansion every day.
The purpose is to accumulate a generous dowry for oneself.
By then, she will have the confidence to marry Brother Mu and become his wife.
Now, I don’t know what Shen has done. She has cut down the expenses of each courtyard for no reason. How is she going to save up for her dowry in the future?
That won't work.
She coughed lightly and said softly, "Brother Mu, the old lady is right. Although my sister has committed an unforgivable sin, we cannot divorce her. Otherwise, the outside world will think that it is your fault, Brother Mu."
After a pause, he continued sympathetically, "Sister was at fault first, and now she's making things difficult for the old lady and the rest of us. It's truly wrong. How about, as usual, Brother Mu punishes you by having you kneel in the ancestral hall, and the expenses of the various courtyards in the mansion remain the same? Sister, from now on, won't have to ask about their expenses. This will atone for her mistakes in making things difficult for the old lady and us."
"Jiaojiao is still sensible. Since you have nothing to say, Shen Shi, considering the love we have had as husband and wife over the years..."
Before Shen Zhao finished speaking, Chu Mu said impatiently: "I have something to say."
Looking at his complacent second brother, obvious annoyance flashed in his narrow eyes.
The second brother is not worth his protection.
"The reason I hit Chu Renjie was because he followed me, made advances to me, spoke vulgarly, and even shamelessly undressed in front of me..."
Chu Mu's expression grew darker with every word he spoke.
The other people in the hall had different expressions.
The second wife was even more furious when she heard this.
I don't know how many times I pinched Chu Renjie in secret. He is so shameless.
Chen Zhao felt that it was rare that this blockhead would stop protecting his closest relatives and stand up to expose the true face of Chu Lao Er.
Chu Renjie blushed as he looked at the inquiring expressions of the crowd, and said angrily:
"You little whore, stop throwing dirty water on me. It was clearly you who was having sex with a wild man and I caught you there, yet now you're accusing me of coveting you.
How could I be such a shameless beast as to peek at my brother-in-law?"
"Third brother, second brother is a scholar and has kept himself clean all his life. My sister-in-law is trying to get rid of the crime by putting the blame on me. Third brother, you have to stand up for me!" The flesh on his face trembled slightly, and his body shook slightly, and he looked very angry.
Chu Mu was furious. How could his second brother say that he had lived a chaste life?
"Chu Renjie, you are just empty talk. I didn't expect you to be such a villain. Were there people in the mansion who witnessed the whole process?" Chu Mu looked at Chen Zhao.
"General, please summon the servants serving in the front yard of the mansion and clear my name."
"Okay, pass on my order and have all the servants in the front yard come here."
Chen Zhao looked at Chu Mu meaningfully. The servants in the mansion were all flatterers and bullies.
Soon, two rows of servants, both men and women, knelt in the hall.
Chu Mu looked at the two rows of servants.
Pointing with his finger, he said, "You, you... and you stay here. The others can leave."
The five people he pointed out were all those who witnessed the dispute between him and Chu Renjie.
Chu Mu pointed at the older woman, a veteran of the Chu Mansion. "At that time, Chu Renjie spoke lewdly to me and opened his robe wide. You happened to pass by and witnessed this scene. Now I command you to tell me everything you saw and heard."
The old woman glanced at Chu Mu and thought, "Is the lady stupid?"
Even if she saw it, she would say she didn't see it.
She could still tell who had a more important status in the mansion, the Second Master or the Madam.
"I did see it at that time."
Chu Mu snorted coldly at Chu Renjie.
The old woman changed the subject and said, "What I saw and heard was not what Madam said. I saw Madam... Madam..."
Chu Renjie saw the old woman looking at him and immediately said:
"Don't be afraid, just speak out. Did you see Shen hanging out with a wild man, and then I happened to pass by here and was caught by the two of them, and that wild man beat me up? Yes and no."
The old woman nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, that's right. This old servant saw the Second Master being beaten by the mistress's lover."
The other four followed suit and said:
"We saw it, too."
Chu Mu’s eyes widened. How could these people distort the facts!
It was obviously Chu Renjie who teased him!
"Ridiculous! This is really ridiculous! How could a great general like me end up in such a rotten place?" Chu Mu was extremely angry.
These servants included the old members of the Chu family as well as the new people recruited into the mansion.
He was always kind to them and rarely punished or scolded them.
The rules in this mansion are extremely relaxed compared to those in other mansions.
Ah Zhao had nothing to say to them.
When Ah Zhao first got married, the family was not well off. Ah Zhao took pity on them and used her own savings to increase their monthly wages many times.
Never punished anyone.
Have they forgotten what Ah Zhao did for them?
Even their monthly salary now is paid by A Zhao. They rely on A Zhao for their current monthly salary.
These people are not human beings at all. They are clearly a bunch of ungrateful and ungrateful people.
When they were in Gongyuemen, they did nothing, and he just thought they were afraid of being punished by his second brother and causing trouble.
Now here, before the general, they could plainly tell the truth.
But they framed him one by one.
Even the servants in his house deceived him, which shows how unsuccessful he was as a general.
He closed his eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly: "This is the General's Mansion!"
Seeing Chu Mu like this, Shen Zhao was powerless to hold his forehead.
Well, this is a big blow.
Is it that so?
Isn't it just that the management is not strict enough? Isn't it that everyone in the mansion is treating him like a fool and keeping him in the dark?
Is it really necessary to be so disappointed?
However, the servants in this mansion really need to be reorganized.
She has always been kind to these people.
Shen Zhao looked at the five people, and the light in his eyes gradually faded.
A layer of chill spread across his face. "Do you really mean what you said? If you tell even a single lie, I will not let you off lightly! At the very least, I'll expel you from the General's Mansion as a warning to others. At the worst, I'll beat you with thirty lashes of the cane and sell you to a trafficker!"
Several people hesitated and looked at the old lady.
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
