Chapter 40: Cannon fodder



Everyone in the Chu family: "......"

Of course, we have a fairy to guide us at home. If I fall for your trick, I might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill myself.

Chu Zhilan, who was behind the screen, also heard Chang Sui's words, and the golden hairpin in her hand fell to the ground without her noticing.

Did her parents kick her out of the house so quickly?

Did she really break their hearts yesterday? Was she no longer the daughter of the Chu family?

Is that thing more important to the Chu family than her, their daughter?

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that she had never done anything for her parents' home since she got married. Every time she was short of something, she would go back to her parents' home to ask for it.

He also wanted to get the golden medal of immunity from death back, but it touched his parents' bottom line.

Can't wait to cross her name off the family tree.

"Bitch!" Liu Jingsi came in and punched and kicked Chu Zhilan who was sitting in front of the dressing table. "You are an idiot who is always causing trouble but not doing anything good. If Qingyuan dies, you will die with him."

Chu Zhilan has always been dignified, noble, elegant and calm since she married into the Anping Marquis's Mansion.

Liu Jingsi also doted on her, and the couple had never had a quarrel in their more than 20 years.

She didn't expect that as soon as the Duke of Protectorate kicked her out of the house, he would immediately attack her. At this moment, her anger and unwillingness burned like a raging fire in her eyes.

His clenched hands were shaking, as if he was holding back a storm that was about to erupt.

"Why?" Chu Zhilan's anger exploded, and she fought with Liu Jingsi, "Qingyuan deserves to be arrested and executed for killing someone, what does it have to do with me as your aunt?

Did I ask him to fight and kill someone? The Chu family refused to give me the death-free gold medal, what can I do? "

Although Liu Jingsi was a man, he had frequent affairs with his aunts and concubines, and his body was very weak, so he actually ended up in a tie with Chu Zhilan.

He glared at Chu Zhilan fiercely and left.

This woman is no longer of any use to me. It's time to send her and her son on their way.

I thought it was a sure thing, but I didn't expect her to ruin it.

As soon as he had evil thoughts, Chu Xiaoxiao found out.

Don't ask her how she knows, the answer is that she has her own way. As long as she wants to know something, she will tell her, no matter if it is the wild flowers and weeds on the roadside or the trees planted in the yard.

[Ah! The old witch is doomed! She will be drugged starting tonight.]

At this moment, Chu Xiaoxiao happened to be in the old lady's arms. Hearing her words, she paused and almost dropped her.

The old Duke's heart tightened, and he deliberately said, "I don't know what happened to Qingji. He has never done anything bad since he was a child. He can be considered a good child."

The old lady didn't dare say a word, for fear of missing something, and her eyes were always on the baby in her arms.

My granddaughter’s round little face is as bright as the moon, making people want to kiss her.

The small hands are soft and feel like a ball of cotton when held in my hands, which is extremely warm and comfortable.

The innocent big eyes seem to be able to speak, and one look at them can make people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

Her skin is like the finest silk, smooth and soft, and I want to touch it all the time. Her small mouth is slightly open, smacking her lips from time to time, and my heart melts with happiness and satisfaction.

[Ugh! The prince of Anping is a cannon fodder. The book doesn't mention anything about it, except that he was poisoned to death by his own father. He's even more miserable than me.]

The old lady put her face against her granddaughter's, knowing that she liked it. Every time she did that, the granddaughter would smile happily.

"Qingji is innocent. Find a chance to remind him. Don't let Liu Jingsi put his life in his hands."

The old Duke nodded: "I will arrange this matter."

[Hurry up! Liu Jingsi is about to take action. The drug is twice as effective. Liu Qingji will die soon.]

Anping Marquis Mansion.

Liu Jingsi conspired with the old marquis in the study.

"Dad! I can't get the golden medal of immunity from death. I have to think of another way to deal with Qingyuan. I plan to get rid of that stupid woman and her child."

The old marquis was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Does it have to be this way? Qingji is your eldest son, and you have already requested to be crowned as the Crown Prince. If something happens, and you request to crown your second son as the Crown Prince, what if the higher-ups don't agree?"

"No, I will make amends to the Queen Mother and use my eldest son's life to pay for her nephew's life. As for Qingyuan, it depends on his luck."

"Alas!" The old marquis sighed deeply, "For a piece of gold that will save me from death, my Anping Marquisate has to sacrifice the eldest and second sons of the wife. It's really a big loss."

"Dad! You've got it wrong. Only Qingyuan was killed. As for Qingji, he deserved to die. Who told him to crawl out of that stupid woman's belly? If the Queen Mother wants to take action against the Chu family, it will be as clean as a strong wind blowing through or a flood washing away."

The old marquis was silent again, and after a long while he asked weakly, "What are you going to do with them?"

"The Queen Mother gave them a kind of medicine, which is colorless and tasteless. There is no reaction after taking it, but they look very weak. Even the imperial physician can't check what's wrong. Prepare it for them tonight. Within half a year, they and their son will pass away silently."

"Oh! What a sin! You handle these things on your own, but make sure you don't leave any handle for others."

"My son knows."

After the two finished their conversation, Liu Jingsi got up and left.

He didn't notice at all that there was a person hiding behind the corner of the room. After the old marquis left, he managed to calm himself down, leaned against the wall, slowly slid down and sat on the ground.

Just now on the street, he met Uncle Lei who was with his grandfather. As they passed by, Uncle Lei slipped a note into his hand.

I walked to a deserted place and opened it, and saw only five words: Be careful of your father.

Uncle Lei was a constant companion to my grandfather, and the notes he gave were most likely my grandfather's intentions.

He became more cautious and sneaked back to the house. Seeing his father going to his grandfather's study, he followed him on tiptoe and eavesdropped on their conversation.

His father really wanted to kill him and his mother. He couldn't understand why his parents, who seemed loving and harmonious to outsiders, wanted to kill them as soon as his grandfather announced that his mother would be expelled from the house?

Is this to show loyalty to the Queen Mother?

Taking the lives of mother and son to show sincerity?

How ridiculous.

It turns out that in his father's eyes, he was the one who could be abandoned at any time and anywhere.

The prince of Anping.

How glorious it sounds.

Liu Qingji covered his face and sat on the ground, waiting until he calmed down before getting up and going back.

He can't die, he has to go find his grandparents.

Perhaps only his grandfather can help him get through this difficult time.

Grandfather loved him, otherwise he wouldn't have sent Uncle Lei to remind him to be careful of his father. Mother's brain was really not very smart, she didn't even know that the man beside her was trying to kill her.

My mother is too confused. She devotes herself wholeheartedly to her family, but she doesn't know that her family is not grateful and that everything is an illusion.

He arrived at the Chu family in a daze, and the guard did not stop him but let him in.

As soon as he saw the old Duke and the old lady, Liu Qingji fell to his knees in front of them, tears streaming down his face.

It looks as pitiful as it can be.

Chu Xiaoxiao, in Yang's arms, sighed while sucking milk.

【Alas! Cannon fodder who share the same suffering. 】
