Chapter 72 The Secret Hidden for Many Years
Chu Mu froze in place. He thought that he was not a descendant of the Chu family, that he might be an illegitimate child of the Chu family or a child of the Yu family who had been abandoned.
But he never expected that he was not only the heir of the Chu family, but also the legitimate heir, and his biological mother was the legitimate wife of the Chu family!
But...but that's not right!
As far as he could remember, the Chu family's first wife was the current old lady.
There is no trace of the mother's existence in the Chu family.
Moreover, there is no record about his mother in the family tree. There is no tablet for his mother in either the ancestral hall in the old Chu family house or the Chu family ancestral hall in the general's mansion.
How did the old lady fall...
Chu Mu suddenly widened his eyes and threw the tablet to the ground!
A remote courtyard, a cold and damp room, and an anonymous tablet with no one to worship.
His thoughts were suddenly drawn back to the first day he became Ah Zhao, when he was punished by the old lady to kneel in that small ancestral hall.
And what Ah Zhao said to him when he found him.
She said she didn't know who the nameless tablet belonged to, but the old lady must have hated the owner of the tablet so much that she smashed it three times in a row.
Chu Mu's face suddenly changed, and the blood in his body began to flow backwards. He looked at A Zhao for confirmation.
Could that nameless tablet that no one worships, no one cares about, and is suffering from torture be... could it be the tablet of his biological mother?
If the nameless tablet enshrined in the gloomy little ancestral hall right under his nose was really his biological mother.
How unfilial he is as a son!
He is not worthy of being his biological mother's son, and he has no face to face his mother who carried him for ten months and gave birth to him!
Shen Zhao met Chu Mu's hurt expression and those longing eyes, and nodded heavily.
You are right, you blockhead. That nameless tablet is your mother!
After Chu Mu got the response, he could no longer bear it and fell to the ground with a thud.
This was an extremely heavy blow to him.
What on earth has he been doing all these years? To bring honor to his family, he joined the army and fought in battles, risking his life.
On the battlefield, he risked his life every time he fought.
Because he knew that only in this way would he have the opportunity to stand out. Even if he died, he would die in battle, and the Chu family would be looked up to because of him.
He gave everything he had fought for with his life to his so-called relatives.
Let them enjoy the wealth and glory he brings.
How ridiculous... How ridiculous, all his hard work might just be a joke in their eyes.
But the person who gave birth to him never enjoyed any reward from him, and even died under his nose and could not rest in peace.
Chen Zhao looked at Chu Mu at this moment. Although she hated this piece of wood, but... for some reason, she felt a little pity for him at this moment.
It's so annoying. This kind of person doesn't deserve her pity. Now she regrets it. Why didn't she do it earlier?
As a normal adult, didn't he ever doubt that the Chu family had done something wrong?
The one she felt sorry for was not Chu Mutou, but her own body that had suffered with him.
Such huge emotional fluctuations are not only sad but also harmful to her body. He is mistreating her.
Thinking of this, the pity in his heart disappeared. He stopped looking at Chu Mu and turned to look directly at Boss Chu. Now was the time to strike while the iron was hot. It would be best to take advantage of this situation and this atmosphere to force Boss Chu to tell him everything that happened back then.
Instead of being like Chu Mu, lamenting the passing of time and feeling sorry for himself, this piece of wood really can't be relied upon in any way.
It's useless at the critical moment! I still have to rely on her.
"Brother, how long are you going to keep it a secret from me? Is it time for me to know your secrets from the early years?
How did my mother die? Why did the old lady hate her so much that she didn't let her go even after her death?
Also, why is there no trace of my mother's existence in the Chu Mansion? Since my mother was the legitimate wife, why is she not recorded in the family tree? Even my mother's tablet is not worthy of being placed in the Chu family ancestral hall or the old house. Brother, can you tell me these questions?
I have never asked anything for anything, but today I beg you to clear up my doubts and let me know why the old lady is so jealous of me. She wants to give me a sterilizing drug and destroy everything I have. Is it something I or my mother did wrong?
That’s why I don’t deserve all the good things in this world, isn’t that right, big brother?
"It's not what you think, Third Brother. You are not wrong, and my stepmother is not wrong either."
Boss Chu looked at the sad look on the third brother's face and found it difficult to speak.
He felt guilty towards his stepmother and the third brother.
His stepmother's death was related to him! It was related to him!
If it weren’t for him, if it weren’t for him… my stepmother wouldn’t have been wrongly killed.
He hated... hated that his mother had exploited his young age and ignorance, turning him into a sharp blade and ruthlessly stabbing his kind stepmother.
He hated how he had taken advantage of his stepmother's kindness and her kindness to him, and was seduced by his mother into telling those false lies to frame her for having an affair.
He didn't know the seriousness of the matter. His mother often told him that the reason his father neglected the three of them was because of his stepmother.
As long as his father didn't like his stepmother so much, his father's love would be shared with them. At that time, he longed for his father's attention, so he listened to his mother.
Thinking about it now, he wished he could cut himself into pieces.
In the middle of the night, he dreamed of countless scenes of his stepmother being wronged, no one believed her, and she was ignored, beaten, scolded, and humiliated.
The stepmother was gentle, virtuous, and kind to others, and had never harbored any ill will towards the three of them.
Even when he and his second brother were both seriously ill, she stayed by their bedside without taking off her clothes and without sleep, taking care of them wholeheartedly.
He was still young at that time, and he only heard the old nanny in the mansion say that the lady loved the two illegitimate sons so much that she took care of them as if they were her own children, and was more devoted and attentive than the two sons' concubines.
At that time, his heart was full of gratitude towards his stepmother, but later he stabbed her in the back.
He always remembered that he secretly went to see his stepmother who was imprisoned in the dilapidated courtyard.
At that time, my stepmother had been tortured beyond recognition. She looked like a dried skeleton. The light in her eyes had long since disappeared, and her expression was numb.
Later, things turned out to be completely different from what he had imagined. His mother reported the affair between his stepmother and someone else to the clan leader.
My father was not in Jinzhou at that time. My grandparents followed the clan rules and asked the Chu family to drown my stepmother in a pond.
He still remembers the scene when his stepmother was drowned in the pond.
My stepmother was pushed into the water by the tribesmen. She must have felt so helpless and scared at that time. Everyone ignored her struggles and her cries.
She kept saying that she was wronged, but no one believed her.
Finally, she gave up struggling. He heard his stepmother say, "What will happen to my Mu'er if I leave? He's still so young!"
He wanted to rush over to rescue his stepmother several times, and he wanted to shout several times that his stepmother had not had an affair with anyone.
But he was held down tightly by his mother, who was holding the third child, who was still in her cradle, and threatened him in his ear: "Your stepmother cares most about this baby. No matter what you say now, the adults won't believe you. If you dare to shout it out, I will make sure this baby dies too. After all, Qing'er, your stepmother has been having an affair with someone else. Who knows if this bastard is the child of our Chu family?"
Chen Zhao looked at Boss Chu who was lost in his memories and spoke again:
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
