Chapter 371 A fatal blow
A flash of panic flashed across the old patriarch's eyes.
impossible!
It's simply impossible. It had been more than twenty years since the incident, when Chu Mu was still a baby in swaddling clothes.
There was no way he could remember anything.
Chen Zhao looked at the old patriarch's unpredictable expression and said:
"The old patriarch thinks that it's been so long since the incident happened, and that I was young at the time and won't remember anything, let alone find out the truth of what happened back then, right?"
The expression on the old patriarch's face became even more interesting, and he became visibly nervous.
Why did he feel like Chu Mu knew everything, even what he was thinking!
"Not only did this prince find out all the truth about what happened back then, he also had witnesses and physical evidence."
As soon as Shen Zhao said this, the old patriarch instantly collapsed in his chair.
Both hands began to tremble slightly.
He guessed wrong just now.
The reason why Chu Mu treated them like this was because he knew all the truth of that year.
He wasn't just angry that they had concealed the fact of his biological mother.
Upon seeing this, Chu Zhuangyuan hurried forward and comforted the old patriarch, saying:
"Grandfather! If my cousin can really find out that my aunt was framed after more than 20 years, we should be happy for him and my aunt."
Chu Zhuangyuan's words immediately awakened the panicked old patriarch.
Yes, more than twenty years have passed.
He didn't believe that Chu Mu could find out so clearly.
It wasn't him who framed Yu for having an affair.
He executed Yashi for the sake of Chu Mu, his father, and his clan members.
Chu Mu had no reason to blame him.
Calm down instantly.
"The top scholar is right. Mu'er, since you have found out all the truth about what happened back then, it can be considered as a comfort to your mother's spirit in heaven. Your great-uncle is happy for you and your son."
When the others heard the old patriarch say this, they also echoed and complimented Shen Zhao.
Their life and death are now in Chu Mu's hands.
As long as Chu Mu is willing to save them, they will be fine.
"Happy for me? Huh!" Shen Zhao sneered.
"My brother told me everything that happened back then. If you leeches weren't afraid that my mother's affairs would affect my father's career, and that my father would be ruined and you wouldn't get any credit for it, you wouldn't have investigated thoroughly or reported it to the authorities, and would have directly sentenced my mother to death."
"You bullied her, a woman who had just given birth, and you imprisoned her. Are you afraid she'd report you to the Yu family or the government? You're even more afraid your disgusting deeds would be exposed!"
"You beasts, you beasts who deserve to be hacked into pieces. You forced her to confess and then lynched her. Now that she refuses to confess, you're just going to drown her in a pond!"
Every time Shen Zhao said something, the Chu family's faces turned paler.
They could not refute it because what happened to Yu back then was just as Chu Mu said.
But they didn't know whether the matter was true or not. It was the two elders and the patriarch of the Chu family who convicted Yu.
We can only blame Chu Mu’s grandparents and the clan leader, we can’t blame them.
"After she died, you didn't let her go. You even went so far as to spread rumors that she had an affair and ruined her reputation!"
"You keep saying that you're doing this for my father's and my reputation. So, I want to ask you, if you're doing this for our reputation, why are you spreading the news that my mother was caught having an affair and was thrown into a pig cage? Is this really for my and my father's reputation?"
Shen Zhao shouted sternly!
"Mu'er, listen to your great-grandfather. That adulterer took your mother's underwear. He was indeed your mother's lover."
The old patriarch hurriedly explained.
Chen Zhao looked at the old patriarch who didn't cry until he saw the coffin.
"It was that vicious woman who framed my mother. It was also that vicious woman who tricked my eldest brother into stealing my mother's underwear."
"Because of this incredibly poorly calculated plan, you killed her without even investigating."
The old patriarch tried hard to suppress his trembling hands. "Mu'er, Renqing was still young at the time, and he was raised by Yu to obey her. How could Renqing steal Yu's underwear to frame her?"
"Don't worry, Mu'er. When I return to Jinzhou, I will definitely clear your mother's name and add her name to the family tree to restore her innocence. Let's leave this matter at that!"
Shen Zhaosen looked at the old patriarch coldly.
This is threatening her by using the excuse of listing Chu Mu's mother in the family tree.
"That's not necessary! My mother wouldn't want to be on the same family tree with you beasts."
"Old patriarch, you are still arguing." Chen Zhao looked at the old patriarch who was pretending to be calm and gave him another fatal blow.
"Back then, you were so busy executing my mother that you didn't even bother paying attention to the thief who slandered her reputation. You didn't even know who was being executed."
"That man is in my hands now, imprisoned in my house. Old Patriarch, do you want to go and take a look?"
The old patriarch's heart was instantly gripped tightly by someone.
"That man has been lurking beside me for over a decade, helping that vicious woman to drug me, causing me to have no children or grandchildren."
"I believe I've treated you well, and my parents have taken great care of you, my people. This is how you repay us!"
The Chu clan members were speechless. Chu Mu's biological mother was indeed very kind to them.
Shen Zhao sneered at them and said, "Although we all have the surname Chu, you are just a branch of the branch."
Chen Zhao pointed at the old patriarch and said, "The reason we let you be the patriarch is because you still have the blood of nearly five generations of our family flowing in your veins."
"If we go by blood relationship, you're not qualified at all."
The old patriarch was speechless. Chu Mu was right. Only Chu Mu's branch was the true descendant of the Chu family.
They, the Chu family, are all branches of the side branches.
He was originally appointed as the patriarch of the Chu family to take care of these poor and destitute members of the Chu family.
The old patriarch's tone softened a bit, "Mu'er, it was me who failed to find out the truth. If you want to blame someone, blame me. The other members of the Chu family are all innocent and pitiful. And your two brothers are your father's bloodline after all. If you want to hate someone, just hate that vicious woman.
Your two brothers are also innocent."
He couldn't bear to see Chu Mu sever ties with the Chu family.
Fortunately, there are Chu Renqing and Chu Renjie.
"My father's offspring?"
"Old Patriarch, do you know why that thief wanted to harm my mother's reputation? It's because he was the vicious woman's lover before she entered the Chu Mansion."
Chen Zhao had been observing the old patriarch's expression. She wanted to see whether this old man was involved in the Yu family incident back then.
The old patriarch was obviously stunned.
No wonder that vicious woman gave me a hundred taels of silver and asked me to secretly replace the adulterer. It turned out that he was her lover.
It seems that this old man knows.
Then he deserves to die even more!
"Chu Renqing and Chu Renjie are both her children with that adulterer. I am the only bloodline of my father."
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the old patriarch and others.
They just had the same idea as the old patriarch. As long as Chu Renqing and Chu Renjie were still around, Chu Mu would not leave the Chu family because he cared about his two brothers.
Chen Zhao continued, "Even my father's death was planned by this ruthless pair of dogs and bitches. They were the ones who killed my parents.
And you are both their helpers!"
Shen Zhao decided to give them another thundering blow.
