Chapter 7 The slap in the face came so quickly
After Chu Yian finished speaking, the air became quiet.
Hua looked at Chu Yian with her mouth wide open, feeling as if she had never known this stepdaughter before.
In her impression, Chu Yian has always been quite well-behaved. He is a little timid and cowardly, but it is not a big problem. He can correct it quickly with proper teaching.
But now, after hearing Chu Yian's shocking remarks, he finally realized that his stepdaughter was not timid at all.
She was obviously too bold and was afraid that if she spoke too much, people would overhear her and beat her to death, so she chose to remain silent.
Chu Xiuyuan was her father, but she belittled him as worthless.
Even though her stepmother has been so harsh to Chu Yian over the years, she still has a few good words for him. It shows that this girl knows how to be grateful.
Such a good girl Chu Xiuyuan was only described as a pest in her mouth, someone who should resign as soon as possible and go back to farming, and a useless person with no hands or feet and a bad temper.
This shows that Chu Xiuyuan is really a terrible person, even Chu Yian can't stand it.
Hua was both moved and felt that Chu Yian's thoughts were a bit scary.
But then again, Chu Yian's words hit Hua directly in the heart, and were sharp and pointed.
No wonder she felt uncomfortable whether Chu Xiuyuan was at home or out.
It turned out that it was not because she disliked Chu Xiuyuan, but because Chu Xiuyuan did not take the Chu family or her seriously.
He doesn't even care about his own children.
He has no ability, no talent, and no character.
What on earth did she marry?
Thinking of the grievances she had suffered over the years, Hua's eyes became sore and tears began to fall, and she couldn't stop them.
But as a feudal woman who grew up in this social context, she really couldn't say anything too unpleasant.
"Yi An, I am already satisfied that you can understand me. Your father, your father, let's just treat him as dead..."
Cowardly!
Chu Yian was furious.
The atmosphere has reached this point, even if Fahrenheit is not good enough, it should at least complain a few words.
Didn’t she already regard Chu Xiuyuan as dead?
It's not the first day.
It was because she treated Chu Xiuyuan as a dead person that Chu Xiuyuan could live so comfortably and throw all the burdens on her.
If you really want to treat him as dead, then do it thoroughly. In the dead of night, find a few strong servants to carry him to the back mountain and bury him.
The dead are the greatest, let them rest in peace.
This is the attitude that the living should have towards the dead.
You see, this way Chu Xiuyuan can sleep well and you don’t have to worry about him anymore.
Kill two birds with one stone, it's a win-win situation, but you have to live such a miserable life.
Chu Yian took a deep breath. For the sake of five hundred taels, she couldn't allow any flaws or imperfections in the first mission.
Chu Yian suddenly stood up and looked down at Hua.
Facing Chu Yian's eyes that seemed to want her to stand up quickly, Hua's tears almost stopped and she felt a little guilty.
Yi An...I'm afraid she will think her mother is useless.
Chu Yian: "Mother, do you want to live a more comfortable life in the future?"
Hua wiped his eyes and nodded: "How can I not think about it? But..."
Without giving Hua a chance to say no, Chu Yian interrupted her directly: "Just think about it, no buts. Today I will personally show you what you should do to get your family back to normal."
"Look carefully, learn from it, and do the same in the future."
Hua opened his mouth in shock, and his heart suddenly began to beat violently out of control.
She, she wouldn't want to...
Chu Yian was impatient and would do something immediately once she made up her mind. She turned around and shouted outside the yard, "Someone come!"
Outside the yard, Xiaofu and Hua's personal maid Taoshuang heard the sound and hurried in.
Chu Yian looked at Tao Shuang: "Where did the master go today?"
Tao Shuang was confused and glanced at Hua Shi. Hua Shi's attention was all on Chu Yian and she didn't receive her signal.
Tao Shuang could only say, "My lady, after the court session, the master usually drinks at the Zhuangyuan Building."
Most of the people living in Zhuangyuan Building are students who come to Beijing to take the imperial examinations. From time to time, great scholars are invited to give lectures, and occasionally banquets are held there for scholars to attend.
Therefore, it is very popular among scholars and has a great reputation.
Chu Xiuyuan was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. Although a sixth-rank official was inconspicuous in Shengjing, it was enough to make him feel superior in front of that group of students.
After getting the answer, Chu Yian ordered Tao Shuang: "Go, call a few strong servants to go out with me."
Tao Shuang's eyelids twitched. This didn't look like a normal way to go out.
Why does it feel like the young lady seems a little excited?
She had a bad feeling.
Tao Shuang looked at Hua Shi, who was still immersed in excitement and nervousness and once again did not receive her gaze.
Tao Shuang could only go down to make arrangements.
Chu Yian looked at Hua Shi: "Mother, let's go."
Hua nodded stupidly and was half-dragged and half-pulled into the carriage by Chu Yian.
She came to her senses only after getting on the carriage. It was her first time doing such a thing and she felt a little overwhelmed, with all kinds of emotions spreading and intertwining in her heart.
She nervously grabbed Chu Yian's hand, her palm icy cold: "Yian, if we do this, will your father be bullied when he goes to court?"
Chu Yian rubbed Hua's hands and sneered: "Isn't that better? The emperor would be better off dismissing him from office, so that he has time to learn how to be a good father and a good husband."
"No, it should be said that he has time to learn how to be a human being."
If you can’t even behave yourself as a human being, why would you be an official?
Chu Yian didn't mind at all if someone severely reported Chu Xiuyuan. The emperor could immediately issue an order to deprive him of his official position, or send him to another place far away to stop him from getting in the way.
Hua nodded when he heard that, feeling extremely nervous.
But seeing Chu Yian's expression as if he wished he could grow wings and teleport to Zhuangyuan Building to humiliate Chu Xiuyuan immediately, he felt... it seemed that was just the case.
The carriage drove for about an incense stick of time before it stopped and we arrived at Zhuangyuan Building.
Chu Yian lifted the curtain and took a look. The plaque of "Zhuangyuan Building" was hung high above the gate. The words were majestic and revealed a sense of unrestrainedness.
It is said that it was written by a top scholar who passed the imperial examination here.
I don't know what's going on in Zhuangyuan Building today, but it seems quite lively. I can hear voices coming from inside, as if two people are arguing about something.
Soon, the sound of applause from the whole room could be heard again, and it could be heard from several streets away.
Chu Yian was a little dumbfounded. Looking from the door, he saw that the first floor of Zhuangyuan Building was already packed with people. There were so many people that it would make a social phobia explode on the spot.
Why are there so many people today? There weren't so many before.
If we rush in and kidnap Chu Xiuyuan, I'm afraid we won't even be able to squeeze next to him.
Moreover, if she went in and interrupted what others were doing, even if it was reasonable, it would become unreasonable. Wouldn't she and Hua be drowned in spit?
I was careless. I should have found out what Zhuangyuanlou was doing today. Chu Yian felt a little embarrassed.
But now that she's here, if she doesn't take Chu Xiuyuan away, wouldn't it seem like everything she said before was bullshit?
She said so much in front of Hua Shi, but ended up contradicting herself?
Then can Fahrenheit still be confident in the future?
Hua Shi obviously also noticed the situation in Zhuangyuan Building, and his eyes were a little cold.
She snorted coldly and got off the carriage first, then walked towards the building. "I want to see what kind of magic potion this Zhuangyuan Building has poured on Chu Xiuyuan, making him linger here all day and not want to go home."
"There are a lot of people here today, so I'd like to take a closer look."
