Chu Feng's residence is located in the western part of the city and is a very large mansion.
He has four sons and two daughters, both of whom are already married.
She married into a wealthy merchant family in another province and lived a comfortable life.
Another woman married a censor from the Censorate in Kyoto. Although a censor was only a seventh-rank official, the position was very lucrative as they were in charge of overseeing various prefectures and counties.
So they lived a relatively affluent life.
Chu Feng's four sons all live in this mansion.
The eldest son is the same age as Chu Qingchuan and holds the official position of Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, a fifth-rank official. He already has two sons and two daughters.
The second and third sons are twins, both merchants. They mainly run a medicinal herb shop business, which is very large, with shops all over the country. The two of them are usually not at home.
The fourth son is only fifteen years old and has not yet married.
However, because of his intelligence and good academic performance.
He has already been chosen by Zhao Chengen, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and betrothed to his youngest daughter; his future is bright...
Although Chu Feng's family is not considered top-tier in the capital, since Chu Feng was expelled from the Chu family, he has been powerless, without influence or backing. It is astonishing that he has been able to develop to his current state in just a few years after returning to the capital!
The Chu family brought a large group of servants and guards with them and headed towards Chu Feng's house in a grand procession.
Such ostentation attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
As soon as they arrived at Chu Feng's house, the guards blocked their way!
An old butler came out of the door. He saw Chu Yunzhou at the head of the group and Sheng Wanwan, who was holding his hand, and he was puzzled.
"Third Master Chu, what's wrong?"
This cloud housekeeper is a capable person by Aunt Xu's side.
Several years ago, when Chu Feng returned home for his funeral, Aunt Xu moved out of the Chu family home with Butler Yun and lived with her only son.
"Butler Yun, it's been a long time! I've come to catch up with Chu Feng and Auntie!"
Chu Yunzhou smiled gently and warmly.
"Reminiscing? Many years ago, our master was driven out of the Chu family by General Chu. Everyone knows that our master has no connection with the Chu family anymore, so what old ties are there to renew? Moreover, Third Master Chu just called our master by his name and didn't even call him Second Brother. Presumably, he has no affection for our master. Where does this talk of reminiscing come from?"
Butler Yun frowned and questioned Chu Yunzhou in a cold and hard tone.
"Hehehe... I originally wanted to save face for your master, so I made an excuse to say that I was here to catch up with Chu Feng! Since you don't want to save face for your master, then fine, I'll just say it directly!" Chu Yunzhou's expression suddenly changed, and he said with a gloomy face.
Upon hearing this, the cloud housekeeper felt a sense of foreboding.
"Third Master Chu, what do you mean by that?"
"Hmph! What do you mean?" Chu Yunzhou sneered, "Steward Yun, I'm here today to settle accounts with Chu Feng!"
His eldest son, Chu Shuyu, pushed Chu Qingchuan into the pool many years ago, causing my nephew to catch a cold, which damaged his brain with a high fever, leaving him mentally impaired for eighteen years!
My nephew suddenly regained consciousness yesterday and said that he fell into the pond entirely because Chu Shuyu pushed him.
Only then did I realize how ruthless Chu Shuyu could be at such a young age!
"You...you're making baseless accusations! Third Master Chu, what proof do you have that Chu Qingchuan's coma was caused by my eldest young master pushing him into the pool?"
"Just based on your empty words?"
Butler Yun reprimanded Chu Yunzhou with a grim expression.
He had never heard of the young master doing such a thing.
Even if it were true, he would absolutely refuse to admit it.
After all these years, there's no evidence left! Even if Chu Qingchuan's statement is true, they can't do anything to his young master based on it alone!
The eldest son is now a fifth-rank official in the Court of Judicial Review, and the younger son is the prospective son-in-law of the Minister of Judicial Review. Their status is vastly different from before. Who would dare to lay a finger on them?
“My nephew is the person involved. He says it was your young master who pushed him. Are you trying to slander your family? If you don’t believe me, call Chu Shuyu out here, and we’ll confront him face to face!”
As soon as Chu Yunzhou finished speaking, Chu Qingchuan stepped forward.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he was trembling with rage.
"Quickly call Chu Shuyu out! I want to ask him! What did I do to offend him? Why did he do this to me? Why did he make me unconscious for eighteen years, wasting eighteen years of my life?"
Having committed such a heinous act, how could he possibly serve as the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review? Does he truly feel no remorse?
Chu Qingchuan pointed at the Chu family's gate and roared.
His voice was hoarse, as if a knife tip had been used to slash his throat, extremely grating!
His expression was one of utter grief and indignation, his face contorted in a grimace!
Chu Qingchuan's performance shocked the onlookers. Could it be that what Chu Qingchuan said was true?
"Hey! Do you think what the eldest young master of the Chu family's direct line is saying is true?"
"It seems to be true. Otherwise, why would the eldest young master, who has been mentally challenged for eighteen years, come to the Chu family's illegitimate son's residence and say such things? There's no evidence, and they can't punish Lord Chu. I think it's all true, just without evidence. The direct line of the Chu family had no choice but to bring people here to seek justice!"
"If that's the case, then it's terrifying. You must know that the eldest young master of this family is the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. What kind of place is the Court of Judicial Review? It's where cases are adjudicated. That Lord Chu was so ruthless at such a young age; if he were in that position now, who knows how many wrongful convictions he would have made!"
"That's right. Everyone in the capital knew about this illegitimate son of the Chu family. He was an expert in everything from eating and drinking to gambling and whoring. The old general's lifelong reputation was ruined by this illegitimate son."
In a fit of anger, General Chu drove this illegitimate son out of the capital eighteen years ago.
