Chu told Chu Xiuyuan and Chu Yunzhou what she had overheard Sheng Wanwan saying in her heart.
Upon hearing this, the two were both astonished. They exchanged a glance, and then looked at Chu Shi in unison!
"Little sister, is what you're saying true? Sheng Lingtian is actually working for Prince Rui and Consort Jin? Then his joining the Chu family army, getting close to you, and taking control of the Chu family army—was all of this a conspiracy?"
After hearing what the Chu family had said, Chu Xiuyuan asked in astonishment!
"Yes, that's what Wanwan said! Second Brother, do you think His Majesty will believe us if we report this matter to him?"
"Absolutely not!" Chu Xiuyuan immediately shook his head and objected, "This matter cannot be reported to His Majesty! If His Majesty believes it, that's fine, but if he doesn't, framing a member of the royal family is a heinous crime that could lead to the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire clan. The consequences are something our Chu family cannot afford!"
"What if we let the eldest brother go and say it?"
Suddenly, Chu asked.
"Although my elder brother was close to our emperor when he was young, the emperor had not yet ascended the throne at that time."
As the saying goes, the emperor's heart is hard to fathom. No one knows how much trust His Majesty still has in my elder brother and our Chu family!
Little sister, such matters require concrete evidence before being reported to His Majesty! Do you understand?
Chu Xiuyuan earnestly reminded the Chu family.
Chu nodded and remained silent.
She did want her elder brother, Chu Qianhan, to petition the Emperor, after all, the Chu family was known for its loyalty and righteousness, and her elder brother had a close relationship with that person from their youth.
If His Majesty could trust them and secretly investigate Prince Rui's faction, then she would save herself a lot of trouble.
But she forgot that the emperor was suspicious by nature. If he suspected that the Chu family harbored resentment because of the loss of military power, he might frame the royal family.
With just a word, the entire Chu family could be wiped out.
The current emperor is no pushover!
"Hmm! My sister is too naive! It seems we still have to investigate this matter secretly." Madam Chu frowned.
"You don't need to worry about this matter, I'll handle the investigation! But what about you? How do you plan to deal with your relationship with Sheng Lingtian?"
Chu Xiuyuan felt a surge of resentment when he thought about how Sheng Lingtian had used the Chu family.
Their younger sister is the most precious daughter of the Chu family; how could they allow others to bully her?
"Of course we should get a divorce, but I can't leave the Sheng family yet. The children are all Sheng Lingtian's offspring, and if we get a divorce, I definitely won't be able to take them all with me."
What Sheng Lingtian did was a heinous crime that could lead to the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire clan. I cannot leave the children in the Sheng family; I must find a way to take them all away.
They also need to get Sheng Lingtian to sever ties with them voluntarily, so that they won't get involved.
Chu said solemnly.
Chu Xiuyuan and Chu Yunzhou nodded, naturally understanding the seriousness of the matter.
"Alright, but you must be very careful. Sheng Lingtian has just taken over the Chu family army, and Mu Rou'er's identity cannot be exposed. These two can't be too harsh on you openly, but it's hard to guard against the dirty tricks they might use behind the scenes."
Chu Xiuyuan gave his instructions.
"Don't worry, Second Brother, I know what's important!"
Chu smiled confidently. No matter what the reason, Sheng Lingtian did not make a move against her.
Mu Rou'er's petty tricks alone are not enough to deal with her.
"Yes! That's good!"
Chu Xiuyuan had great faith in the Chu family's capabilities; if she said there was no problem, then there definitely was no problem.
Everyone says that the eldest brother is highly skilled in martial arts and full of clever ideas.
But no one knew that although his younger sister's martial arts skills were no match for her older brother's, her cunning and wisdom were in no way inferior.
If she weren't a woman, how could Sheng Lingtian have climbed to that position?
In fact, Sheng Lingtian was able to climb to that position thanks in no small part to his sister's help!
Chu Yunzhou listened quietly to Chu Xiuyuan and the Chu family's conversation, his dark eyes flickering as if he were deep in thought.
After the two finished talking, Chu Yunzhou spoke:
"Little sister, do you want to reopen your Misty Rain Pavilion? I don't understand politics, but if you need money, I'll give you my full support!"
The Misty Rain Pavilion was a force established by the Chu family when they were young. On the surface, it was the largest chain restaurant in the Great Yan Kingdom, but in reality, it was a dark organization that combined spies, assassins, and information trafficking!
This organization was created by the Chu family. Apart from General Chu, only Chu Yunzhou in the Chu family accidentally learned that the organization belonged to the Chu family. No one else knew about it.
The Chu family established the Misty Rain Pavilion with the intention of helping the Chu family army build an intelligence network, so that the Chu family army could know themselves and their enemy on the battlefield and win every battle.
However, a traitor emerged from the Misty Rain Pavilion, and the Chu family received false intelligence, which led to errors in the enemy intelligence provided to the Chu family army, resulting in a major defeat for the Chu family army.
The Chu family army suffered countless casualties, General Chu was seriously injured, and the eldest brother of the Chu family lost both legs.
Overwhelmed with guilt, the Chu family uncovered the traitor and brought him to justice.
Then the Yanyulou organization was disbanded.
Today, Yanyu Tower is still the largest chain restaurant in the Great Yan Kingdom, but it is nothing more than a restaurant.
The only person left by Chu's side was that loyal confidant who had helped her establish the Misty Rain Pavilion.
"Yanyu Tower? What Yanyu Tower?"
Chu Xiuyuan looked at Chu Shi and Chu Yunzhou with a puzzled expression and asked.
"Little sister, what happened back then was just an accident, so don't hold a grudge."
“According to Wanwan’s words, if Prince Rui succeeds, neither you and your children nor the Chu family will have a good ending. So, if you still have the ability to rebuild Yanyu Tower, then do it! There’s no need to hide this from my eldest and second brothers anymore! The four of us siblings must work together to overcome this difficulty!”
Chu Yunzhou offered a stern admonition.
"Third Brother! I..."
