Chapter 372: Exposing Family Scandal
"You are not the true bloodline of my Chu family. On behalf of the true Chu family, I will expel you traitors who have harmed my bloodline from the Chu family forever."
She wouldn't be stupid enough to separate Chu Mu from the Chu family.
Of course, the ones who have to be divided up are the old patriarch and other scum who are not qualified in the first place.
Including the remnants who are waiting to be fed in the ancestral land of Jinzhou.
As the true descendant of the Chu family, she has this right.
The old patriarch and others were instantly nailed to the spot, their faces pale.
They never imagined that one day they would be kicked out of the Chu family.
The most panicked were the families of Chu Tanhua and Chu Bangyan.
Now the gentleman surnamed Ji has received the emperor's order to go to Jinzhou to investigate the case of cheating in the imperial examination.
If Chu Mu ignored them, not only would the third and second place winners go to jail, but their future would also be ruined, and their descendants would never be able to make a name for themselves in the future.
Chu Tanhua and Chu Bangyan, along with their parents, all knelt in front of Shen Zhao.
“Bang bang…” He kowtowed to Shen Zhao.
He no longer had the arrogance he had when he first arrived.
"Your Highness, all the mistakes are the fault of the old patriarch and that vicious old woman, and have nothing to do with us.
Your Majesty, please consider that we are all descendants of the Chu family. You cannot drive us poor people out of the clan."
They all knew in their hearts that the reason why people with the surname Chu could live so comfortably and arrogantly in Jinzhou was all thanks to Chu Mu.
Now I don’t dare to call him nephew anymore, and I have to use all the respectful titles.
As long as Chu Mu doesn't drive them out of the clan, as long as Chu Mu is willing to help them through this difficult time, he is willing to protect them again.
Let them call him grandpa.
"Your Highness, we are all innocent. All of this is the evil done by the old patriarch's family."
Chu Tanhua was afraid that the prince would not believe him, so he told the prince how Chu Zhuangyuan had framed, bullied, embarrassed and plotted against Yu Zihuan behind his back.
This includes the fact that the top scholar of Chu State instigated Qin Hui and Liu Li to steal Yu Zihuan's money and prevented Yu Zihuan from participating in the provincial examination.
When Qin Hui pointed this out just now, Chu Zhuangyuan was able to refute it a little.
Now it is Chu Tanhua who points out the time and place clearly, and when Chu Zhuangyuan took the money from the clan's public account.
All clearly stated.
Chu Zhuangyuan couldn't even refute it.
Because the public account records the time of each withdrawal of money.
Damn it!
At that time, in order to take advantage of Gongzhong, he framed Yu Zihuan and took the money from Gongzhong.
If he had anticipated what would happen today, if he had foresight, he would never have embezzled public funds even if he was beaten to death!
"Chu Tanhua, please be careful with your words! Don't forget which faction you belong to!"
Chu Zhuangyuan gnashed his teeth in hatred. This idiot couldn't see that Chu Mu was determined to ignore them.
He is still exposing his family's dirty laundry, afraid that others don't know how stupid he is.
Among the current Chu clan, except for Chu Mu, who is the direct descendant and has very distant relationship with them, the other clan members are all one clan.
There is a sword hanging over Chu Tanhua's head now, and his current predicament is all caused by the old patriarch's family.
He didn't care about all the twists and turns, his only thought was to survive.
"Chu Zhuangyuan, shut the fuck up! It was you and this old bastard who instigated my parents to cheat in the imperial examination."
"It's you grandparents who ruined me. If you hadn't instigated my parents, I, Chu Tanhua, would still have been able to pass the imperial examination with my own ability."
Chu Tanhua no longer had any of the joy and satisfaction he felt from knowing the test questions in advance and being specially taken care of by the examiner.
He wished he could go back to the beginning and slap the old patriarch and Chu Zhuangyuan in the face when they brought up the idea.
"Yes, it's all you who harmed our Tanhua. As the Chu clan's patriarch and the candidate for patriarch, you harmed the clan members just for your own selfish reasons."
Chu Tanhua's parents madly accused the old patriarch and Chu Zhuangyuan.
He pretended to pounce on the old patriarch and Chu Zhuangyuan.
The expressions of the old patriarch and Chu Zhuangyuan were so ugly at this moment that they both wanted to step forward and shut up Chu Tanhua's family.
When they first learned that they could help Chu Tanhua pass the imperial examination without any risk, the family wanted to praise their grandparents and grandchildren to the sky.
Not only did he go to show his courtesy every day, he also said that they were all family and that if they did well, the top scholar would only be better.
How dare Chu Tanhua's family turn around and accuse their own grandparents!
Chu Zhuangyuan was not willing to be outdone. He protected the old patriarch and waited for the attack from Chu Tanhua's family.
Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly. It was not difficult to tell from Chu Tanhua and his parents that they knew the exam questions were set up by the old patriarch and Chu Zhuangyuan.
I just don’t know how much inside information these two evildoers know about the cheating in the imperial examinations in Jinzhou.
Now nothing can happen to the old beast grandfather and grandson.
Chen Zhao immediately shouted, "Stop it, my king! How can you touch me in front of me?"
Chu Tanhua's parents withdrew their hands that were about to grab the old patriarch and Chu Zhuangyuan.
Chu Tanhua's father's eyes were bloodshot, filled with hatred and hostility.
He knelt down with his legs, making a dull sound.
He pointed at the old patriarch with a trembling finger and complained:
"Your Highness, you don't know that this old bastard knew that your mother was wrongly accused, but he still branded her with a stigma and executed her.
It's because he holds a grudge against your mother, and more importantly, because he secretly accepted bribes."
He knows what others don't know.
He is the old bastard's biological nephew.
There were many dirty things that happened back then, and he helped this old bastard do them.
"Your mother didn't intend to elope with that adulterer. In fact, it was that old beast who committed indecent acts against her while imprisoned. Your mother couldn't bear the humiliation and once tried to commit suicide. The last time, she banged her head against a pillar and died.
While she was unconscious, the old beast asked me and a few young men from the tribe to put her into a pig cage and carry her to the river.
She regained consciousness on the road and kept shouting that she was wronged and cursing those who had bullied her to death.
In fact, what he didn't say was that those who humiliated the Yu family included not only the old patriarch, but also his youth and some other members of the Chu family.
Even if Yu was innocent back then, the old patriarch would not let her live.
What's more, the old patriarch also accepted money from Chu Renqing's mother, so Yu would definitely die.
The old patriarch's face was terrifyingly cold.
"Don't slander me!"
It was the first time that Shen Zhao knew that Yu had been humiliated during her imprisonment.
She only learned from Chu Renqing that Yu was imprisoned, and she didn't know what these people did to Yu while she was imprisoned.
These people don't have an ounce of humanity.
At that time, Yu was a weak woman who had just given birth to a baby.
Chu Tanhua's father stiffened his neck and said:
"You know clearly whether I have wronged you or not."
"It's not just me who knows about this. Those who abused the Yu family together at the beginning also know about it."
"As long as the prince asks and interrogates them, he will definitely be able to find out the truth of what happened back then."
He risked everything, and for the sake of his family's third place in the imperial examination, he would disregard everything.
The father of Chu Bangyan also followed suit timidly:
