Chapter 69 The Owner of the Nameless Tablet in the Small Ancestral Hall
Chen Zhao was too lazy to look at Chu Mu's hurt expression. "Okay, stop feeling sorry for yourself. I told you you were stupid and you're still feeling wronged. Go get something done quickly. I have something important to discuss with you later."
She decided to first tell Chu Mu the news that Lin Jiaojiao's elder brother was still alive.
After all, what she is going to do next still requires Chu Mu's help.
She also had to discuss with Chu Mu the next steps regarding the matter of her securing housing for the 4,000 Northwest Army soldiers.
She has offended a lot of people now, so she doesn't want to die innocently in the future.
Lin Song told her that a lot of the Northwest Army's spoils had been taken away by other military camps.
It is conceivable that the fate of those people is not much better.
They were all subordinates of her father and brothers, and she wanted to reorganize those Northwestern troops.
And most importantly, she couldn't write a letter to her father and brother now, so she could only let Chu Mu write a letter to her father and brother with her hands.
This put her in a passive position, and she had to reveal in front of Chu Mu what she wanted to do to appease her father and brother.
The more he thought about Chen Zhao, the more worried he became, and his brows knitted slightly.
Chu Mu didn't know what Chen Zhao was thinking. He only saw that Ah Zhao's dark eyebrows were tightly furrowed, almost twisted together.
Unconsciously, she raised her delicate jade-white hand and touched Ah Zhao's brow, gently relaxing it for her. "Ah Zhao, don't worry about me. I can still bear this blow."
Chen Zhao rolled her eyes in her heart. This guy was being sentimental again. She wasn't worried about whether he could bear it.
With the way the Chu family treated him, he must have wished that such a vicious old woman was not his mother.
The second brother who has been sucking his blood for years is not his biological second brother.
I’m really looking forward to the moment when Chu Mu’s life story is revealed and the old woman and his good-for-nothing second brother who is obsessed with sex are kicked out of the General’s House.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhao's expression eased a lot. Chu Mu felt warm in his heart when he saw this. Ah Zhao had been worried about him, but fortunately he would have a chance to make it up to Ah Zhao in the future.
"Brother Zhao must know that I'm not a descendant of the Chu family. I was reckless just now. I didn't even think about the fact that you and I had swapped bodies. I was in a hurry to find Brother to verify it."
Chen Zhao was speechless. He knew that he had been reckless. He was eager to announce to the world that they had swapped bodies, right?
"A Zhao, come with me to find my elder brother. He just said a lot of suggestive words in the old lady's courtyard..."
Chu Mu repeated Chu Renqing's words in front of Shen Zhao. Shen Zhao listened to Chu Mu's retelling and somehow suddenly thought of the small ancestral hall in the side courtyard.
And the nameless tablet that was broken three times by the old woman.
The meaning of Boss Chu's words was very clear. The old woman could live a luxurious life as an old lady in the general's mansion.
She took someone else's place, and this someone else was obviously Chu Mu's biological mother.
If her guess was correct, the nameless tablet where she often knelt was most likely Chu Mu's biological mother.
Moreover, the old woman would go to the small ancestral temple on the sixth day of the third lunar month every year.
The sixth day of March is most likely the date when Chu Mu's mother died.
Perhaps she could start from here and get Boss Chu to tell her what really happened back then.
She still remembered the first time the old woman smashed the tablet in front of her was when she had just married into the general's mansion. The old woman punished her by making her kneel in the small ancestral hall and smashed the nameless tablet in front of her.
The second time was the first year that she and Chu Mu slept in separate rooms. It was also the sixth day of March. When she was punished, the old woman broke the nameless tablet again.
The third time, which was on the sixth day of March this year, the old woman smashed the nameless tablet again.
And every time the old woman looked at the tablet, her eyes were filled with hatred.
She had no idea who the owner of the tablet was, or what grudge he had with the old woman. Even after her death, she could not rest in peace, as the old woman smashed the tablet every year.
Now she knows.
She suspected that the old woman believed in Buddhism because she was afraid that she had done too many sins and would go to hell and suffer torture after death.
She would only repent in front of the Bodhisattva before she was alive. After all, she didn't even let the dead go. How immoral was she?
Shen Zhao did not tell Chu Mu what he was thinking, but walked side by side with Chu Mu towards the Chu family compound.
Along the way, he couldn't help but feel sad. He wondered how blind Chu Mu had been all these years and couldn't see that the old woman treated him differently.
The best courtyard in the mansion is where the second son of the Chu family lives, the second best courtyard is the old lady's courtyard, and the next best is the courtyard of the eldest son of the Chu family.
Although the overall layout of the General's Mansion cannot be described as luxurious, it is extremely gorgeous, with all the necessary artificial lakes, pavilions, towers, flower gardens and courtyards.
Although the courtyard where she and Chu Mu got married was not out of place in this magnificent mansion, it also looked very desolate. After she and Chu Mu slept in separate rooms, the East Garden looked more like a separate building in the General's Mansion.
On the contrary, the other members of the Chu family are more like the masters of the General's Mansion.
Not only the living environment, but also Chu Mu's food, clothing and other expenses are the worst.
The servants passing by along the way saluted in advance when they saw Shen Zhao and Chu Mu from afar.
I've never seen them so well-behaved before. They were shocked by Shen Zhao's drastic measures.
The general today is not the same as before. He just dealt with two old slaves who had worked in the Chu family for decades.
There were even rumors that the lady had regained favor, and those servants who had been disrespectful to her in the past had been informed by her to the general.
The general took all of this to heart, and yesterday he punished an old maid who often bullied his wife.
That nanny was still in the old lady's courtyard.
Today the general drove away two more maids. Although it was because the two were disrespectful to the first lady and her daughter, who knows if the general was taking advantage of the situation to avenge his lady.
After all, they also heard that the two maids had often disrespected the lady.
Chu Mu didn't take his servant's abnormal behavior to heart.
Chen Zhao looked at the servants' cautious appearance and sneered in his heart.
These people deserve to be dealt with. The nicer you are to them, the less they will take you seriously.
Once you frown at them, they will be afraid of you to the core.
As soon as I stepped into Boss Chu's yard, I heard the sound of porcelain falling.
And the crying of Zheng's mother and daughter.
Shen Zhao and Chu Mu looked at each other and quickened their pace.
The servants serving in the courtyard immediately saluted the two of them.
"Your servant, your servant, greets the general and greets the madam."
As the greetings were heard, the crying in the room disappeared instantly.
Then the tightly closed door was opened from the inside, and Zheng and Chu Miao walked out slowly with bloodshot eyes.
Shen Zhao's eyes turned cold.
Chu Miao choked up and called out, "Third Uncle."
Zheng forced a smile, and with her crimson eyes, she gave off a pitiful sense of strength. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she said, "Third brother, third sister-in-law, you're here. Please come in and sit down." Then she instructed the servants, "Serve tea and snacks."
Zheng walked down the stairs with a friendly and warm look on her face and walked towards Chu Mu, wanting to reach out and hold Chu Mu's hand.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw his third brother's wife quickly put her hands back into her sleeves.
The third brother's wife subconsciously stepped back and hid behind the third brother.
The most important thing is that the third brother moved his steps and completely blocked Shen's way.
The smile on Zheng's face froze. Is she a monster?
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
