Chapter 26 Chen Family Discussion
Su Hanchu cooked more dishes today and invited Chuntao and her sister to have dinner together as a thank you for testifying.
The two sisters Chuntao kept feeding their children first before they started eating. After they finished eating, they hurried to wash the dishes for the Jun family.
Su Hanchu looked at them and spoke.
"Have Madam Cui wash the pots and bowls. Don't worry, you guys helped me today, so this meal is a thank you gift. Qiu Kui, you're a concubine of the Fang family, right? I'm afraid Mrs. Chen Fang will hold a grudge against you. Stay closer to us from now on, and try to do things together as two sisters to avoid being ambushed."
Qiu Kui had tears in her eyes when she heard this.
"Thank you, Madam. I know that the Fang family has abandoned us, mother and son."
And at this time, the Chen family.
Chen Fangshi and Chen Siyu were covered in wounds and crying to Old Madam Chen.
"Mother, I saw that after you drank Su Hanchu's medicine, your drowsy condition became even worse. I felt so distressed, so I wanted to ask her what medicine she used. Could it be that she took the wrong medicine?
I didn't expect that she would beat me and Siyu like this without knowing the truth after I simply asked her a question."
As he spoke, he lifted up his sleeves.
"Mother, look, there are countless wounds on your body too."
Chen Siyu also spoke while crying.
“Grandma, my face, look, Su Hanchu doesn’t take the Chen family seriously at all.”
Chen Wenlin, the eldest son of the Chen family, also spoke.
"Mother, this Su Hanchu is too arrogant. Wen Qiao has no status in the Jun family now. As a daughter-in-law, Su Hanchu has given Wen Qiao the cold shoulder many times, and now she's even hitting her elders."
Old Madam Chen's face was gloomy.
"What about Ye'er? Doesn't he care? He and Siyu grew up together since they were childhood sweethearts. Is he just going to watch Su Hanchu bully Siyu like this?"
Chen Fang burst into tears when she heard this.
"Mother, Ye'er has been completely coaxed into submission by Su Hanchu. He no longer cares about Siyu or the Chen family. Su Hanchu had his knife pressed against Siyu's neck, and Ye'er didn't even try to stop him. If the guards hadn't arrived in time, Siyu would have died at Su Hanchu's hands."
When Chen Siyu saw her grandmother looking at her, she hurried forward and raised her head.
"Grandma, look, there's blood. My cousin just watched like that, letting Su Hanchu kill me. He really doesn't have any place for me in his heart."
Old Madam Chen looked at the wound on Chen Siyu's neck and the bloodstain left behind, her face trembling with anger.
"Okay, very good. You ungrateful, white-eyed wolf. You've wasted the Chen family's years of hard work."
Seeing this, a hint of success flashed in Chen Fang's eyes. They were about to reach Fengcheng, and she had to make the old lady make up her mind before that. She only had these two daughters.
He absolutely could not allow them to be exiled to a cold and bitter place like the northwest. As long as his daughter had established herself in the imperial city, it would only be a matter of time before he returned to the imperial city.
He stepped forward, held the old lady's arm, and spoke softly to her close.
"Mother, Ye'er only has Su Hanchu in her heart. Even if she succeeds in the future, I'm afraid she won't marry our Siyu. The Chen family will just give in vain. What Wen Lan said, mother, haven't you considered it?"
I saw that Mrs. Chen's expression had relaxed a little.
Chen Fang continued to speak.
"Mother, the Prince Qin's Mansion no longer exists. Even if you love Sister Wen Qiao and Ye'er, you are the backbone of our Chen family. You also have to consider the hundreds of people in our Chen family, young and old.
What's more, Jun Linfeng has now separated from the Chen family, and Ye'er doesn't even remember the kindness of our Chen family. Mother, why should our Chen family use our warm faces to stick to other people's cold butts? "
Mrs. Chen was silent for a while after hearing this.
He looked at Chen Wenlin.
"Boss, do you think so too?"
Chen Wenlin spoke upon hearing this.
"Mother, I have discussed this with the second and third sons, as well as the families of my second, third, and fourth uncles. The Jun family no longer takes our Chen family seriously. Our years of hard work are a joke. We no longer want to support the Jun family.
Moreover, mother, as a husband and a father, I cannot bear to watch my wife and daughter being beaten over and over again, and then have to let others trample on my face.”
The tone was somewhat solemn.
"Mother, the Chen family is at the end of its rope. The Jun family has no regard for the Chen family. If the Chen family doesn't find a way out, I'm afraid we will all die on this road of exile."
Old Madam Chen thought of the glorious days when the Chen family lived in the imperial city, and she seemed to have aged a few years.
"Forget it, I'm old now. From now on, you will be the boss of the Chen family. I don't care anymore."
Chen Wenlin felt relieved when he heard this. For years, his mother had been in charge of the Chen family, and now it was finally his turn to make the decisions.
"Yes, thank you, mother. Don't worry, Wen Qiao will always be the daughter of the Chen family and my sister. Even if the Chen family has a turnaround in the future, we will not abandon her."
Mrs. Chen nodded when she heard this, then sat down aside. She was really exhausted after traveling for such a long time.
A night passed.
The next day we continued on our journey.
The weather was getting worse, with continuous drizzle and a gloomy sky. The cold winter wind was blowing painfully on my face.
We walked for another two days.
More and more people are suffering from severe colds and are unable to get up after falling to the ground.
Three more bodies were thrown away, and their clothes were still stripped clean.
During the lunch break that day, a tragic cry suddenly reached my ears sharply.
"Wan'er, my Wan'er, don't scare your mother, Wan'er..."
I saw a woman holding a child with tears all over her face.
"Save my Wan'er! Who can save my Wan'er? My Wan'er has fainted from the fever."
As he said this, he knelt down randomly in front of the crowd, holding the child.
He kept kowtowing while holding the child.
"Please, please save my child. I'm willing to do anything. Please save my child."
Su Hanchu's expression, which had originally remained unchanged, showed a hint of emotion, and his handsome brows couldn't help but frown.
She stood up and took a step forward, but Jun Moye grabbed her hand.
"Hanchu, most of the people are sick. We can save one, but we can't save the whole group."
Su Hanchu stopped and said, yes, he could get some medicine for one child, but what about the other children?
If you take a wrong step, you will get into trouble.
Jun Moye helped her sit down and held her hand tightly.
Chuntao and Qiukui, who were standing next to the Jun family, were holding their children. They were extremely grateful that they had backed out when they were bewitched to cause trouble for the Jun family. Otherwise, their fate would probably be similar to that of the Fang family concubine who was crying.
Thanks to the medicine given by Su Hanchu these two days, the two children's colds have recovered. They basically walk by themselves, and only let their mother carry them when they really can't walk anymore.
The lady's grief-stricken cries resonated with everyone, and many people began to sob with tears in their eyes.
Feng Chatou looked at the atmosphere and yelled in annoyance.
"Shut up, everyone. If you keep arguing, I'll whip you and draw blood."
Then he ordered a bailiff to come.
"Go and see. If he's not dead, hurry on. If he's dead, throw him into the woods."
