Chapter 98 Where does the confidence come from?
Chen Zhao turned his back to the old lady without turning around, and said as he walked forward:
"Madam, please don't embarrass me. Lord Du and I serve in the same court. It won't be good for anyone if things get too awkward.
I don't have Du Kang's indenture contract in my hands. How can I stop Lord Du from taking Du Kang away?
Madam, you will be in full control of this matter. Whether it is good or bad is entirely up to you."
The old lady choked. Mu'er was blaming her for not wanting to hand over Du Kang's indenture.
How could Mu'er have the thought of blaming her?
He knew clearly that she was just a woman in the inner court and could not compete with the Du family, but he still turned a blind eye.
These two are going to piss her off to death.
Du Qian'an's face was full of black lines. This Chu guy was plotting against everyone.
Just a dozen steps gave him the feeling of walking on a hundred-meter avenue.
Although the steps did not stop, they were surprisingly slow.
But after he finished speaking, his steps quickened, as if he was about to step out of the house.
The old lady was extremely anxious when she saw Mu'er leading Shen out of the room. Mu'er really didn't care about her anymore.
How can this be possible?
She rolled her eyes slightly, covered her forehead and uttered "ouch", "Why does my head hurt so much all of a sudden? Mu'er, come here and rub it for mother."
As she said this, she looked at Chen Zhao with a bit of sadness in her eyes. Her Mu'er loved her the most.
She definitely couldn't bear to see her sad, so at this critical moment, no matter what she said, she couldn't let Mu'er leave the room.
Now that Mu'er is gone, who will deal with Lord Du and who will deal with the Du family?
Shen Zhao paused, turned around slowly, and looked at the old lady who was making trouble with disappointment. "Old lady, if you really have a headache, I will immediately send someone to go to Qihuang Street to ask for a doctor. If it doesn't hurt, please forgive me for the sake of my difficult situation in the court.
It's true that I'm the commander of a faction, but I can't detain anyone from the Du family for no reason."
After Chen Zhao finished speaking, he winked at Du Qian, his eyes full of threats.
Du Qian'an cursed inwardly: "How shameless! You cheated our Du family and still want me to help you. Bah!" But even though he cursed, he had to bite the bullet and help those who needed help.
Because he saw that the man surnamed Chu was holding something in his hand. The thing was shining and looked like a hidden weapon.
The man surnamed Chu was staring straight at Du Kang.
He firmly believed that as long as he did not meet Mr. Chu's wishes, Mr. Chu would kill Du Kang without hesitation.
Damn!
She became more and more resentful towards Du Kang and this old lady who lacked virtue as a woman.
He said bluntly, "Madam Chu, since General Chu no longer cares about this matter, I will talk to you."
The reason why Du Qian dared to call himself "official" in front of Old Madam Chu was because of an interesting thing.
As Chu Mu is the commander-in-chief, the old lady of the general's mansion should be given an imperial decree.
But it just so happened that every time Chu Mu pleaded for his old lady, he was suppressed.
First, it was the third prince who persuaded him to side with him, and then it was the crown prince who suppressed him.
Chu Mu was not a competitive person, and after several attempts he stopped applying for an imperial decree for his mother.
The old emperor's attitude was even more pleasing. He would not mention it unless Chu Mu asked.
Old Madam Chu is probably the only wife in Kyoto whose son holds an important position but has no imperial decree to support him.
Because Chu Mu was unpopular, the old lady of the Chu family had never attended a banquet of a truly upper-class family even though she had lived in Kyoto for many years.
He had no contact with those noble ladies.
This is also a joke that people like to tell.
The old lady looked unhappy. Lord Du didn't give her any face at all.
No matter what, she is the mother of a team's commander and has a noble status.
He replied in a rude manner, "Master Du, what do you want to say to me? I am listening."
Mu'er hasn't left yet. She doesn't believe that this foxy Lord Du would dare to make things difficult for her.
Shen Zhao looked at the old lady's self-righteous look, his eyes full of ridicule.
Except for being able to show off in the Chu family, she is nothing outside the Chu family.
In Kyoto, where powerful people are everywhere, who can respect her?
He really thinks he's some big shot.
Du Qian'an would not indulge Madam Chu, "I came to visit the General's Mansion this time to take my uncle back to the Du family.
I don't care what secrets there are between you and your uncle, as long as he is willing to sell himself to you as a slave.
Since my uncle is now a slave in your hands, I will redeem him at the price of a slave. I think no matter how stupid my uncle is, he will not sign a death contract.
The Southern Chu State has a rule that as long as a slave is not bound by a death indenture, he or she can be redeemed."
As he spoke, he took the purse from his body, took out a silver note worth one hundred taels from the purse and threw it on the ground.
Tsundere said, "This is one hundred taels of silver, enough to redeem a servant. Madam, pick it up. I will take my cousin away."
Shen Zhao glanced at Du Qian with satisfaction.
Du Qi'an snorted coldly at Chen Zhao.
What kind of look is that in the eyes of the guy surnamed Chu? He doesn’t need to be satisfied!!
He had always disliked this old woman. If it weren't for this old woman, how could that idiot Du Kang sell himself into slavery?
It makes him embarrassed!
The old lady's face was so dark that ink could drip out of it. How dare he humiliate her like this?
She is the old lady of the general's mansion, how dare he!
This is outrageous!
"Master Du, this is the General's Mansion. It's not a place for you to act wildly. I am your elder after all. How dare you speak ill of me? Aren't you afraid that it will spread and ruin your reputation?"
Shen Zhao almost laughed out loud when he heard this. The old woman still didn't recognize her place.
But Du Qian'an said sarcastically, "I call you old lady because of General Chu's residence.
I hold an official position, and you, a commoner, have to pay your respects to me.
"Old Madam Chu, please stop joking. Anyone who dares to call themselves my senior's wife must have received an imperial decree. I wonder where Old Madam Chu gets the confidence to call herself my senior."
"You...you..." The old lady was furious. The fact that she had not been granted an imperial decree had always been a thorn in her heart.
She knew that Mu'er had tried her best to plead for her many times, but now that it was mentioned, the old lady couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Chu Mu.
If he wasn't so taciturn, if he knew how to flatter, how could she be humiliated now for not having an imperial edict?
Du Qi'an rolled his eyes at the old lady and said impatiently:
"What do you mean by 'I'? I am an official. How can I allow you to point fingers at me like this? Do you know that you are offending me? I have the right to ask you for your punishment.
I'll leave this hundred taels of silver here, and I will definitely take the person away.
Please, Madam, give me Du Kang's indenture, or I will report him to the authorities."
The old lady's face turned from black to red and then to blue like a color palette, and she was extremely angry.
Report to the police! Report to the police again!
One by one, they threatened to report her to the police!
This vixen is too much. Does he think that just because she can't do anything to him, no one can control him?
He took a deep breath and said to Shen Zhao:
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
