Zuan laughed heartily: "Well said, I'll go with you."
To everyone's surprise, Chu Chuyan shook her head: "No, you stay."
Zuan looked completely bewildered: "..."
I feel like I've shot myself in the foot. I should have known better than to give him this advice.
Chu Chuyan said, "Grandpa, now my father is being held captive by Sang Hong, and I have left. Only my mother and Xiao Zhao are left at home. You know that my second and third uncles have always coveted our main branch. In addition, the Sang family, the Wu family, the Zheng family, and the Yuan family are all eyeing us covetously. With internal and external troubles, I am really worried."
“Xiao Zhao is immature, and my mother has a rather straightforward temper. If I leave, they will definitely cause trouble.”
Zu An looked troubled: "Wife, you know how your mother treats me. She's not going to listen to me, so what's the point of me staying?"
“My mother didn’t mean to target you; she was just too worried about me,” Chu Chuyan said, holding his hand. “Grandpa, you’ve really suffered these past few days.”
Zuan then wrapped his arms around her soft, boneless waist: "Haha, having such a beautiful wife with me every night, I don't feel wronged at all."
Chu Chuyan blushed and couldn't help but spit out, "You're so frivolous."
Zu An hugged her and said, "Wife, but I'm really worried about you going to the capital alone."
Chu Chuyan smiled slightly: "I also traveled far away often before I met you. Besides, my cultivation level is higher than yours, hmph."
Zuan looked exasperated: "Talking about this is hurtful."
It's a pain to think about. Although he has all sorts of cheat codes, all the female confidantes around him are more powerful than him.
Even Chu Huanzhao, that scum, initially had a cultivation level that far surpassed his own and even bullied him.
Chu Chuyan leaned on his shoulder: "Grandpa, I know you are not like what people think. In fact, you are very capable, so I believe you can protect my mother and sister while I am away."
"Don't flatter me." Despite saying that, being praised so much by the proud and arrogant Chu Chuyan made him feel a little smug.
After returning to the Chu family, Chu Chuyan gathered Qin Wanru and Chu Huanzhao together and told them about her plans.
Qin Wanru said excitedly, "That's right, we should have fought back a long time ago! Your father is good in every way, but he's a bit indecisive. Now that he's being bullied right under his nose, he can't care about anything else."
Zu An clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking to himself that this woman was indeed hot-tempered and straightforward in everything she did.
Chu Huanzhao looked reluctant to part: "Sister, how long are you going to be gone?"
Chu Chuyan hugged her younger sister and said softly, "It will take at least three months, or at most half a year. During this time, you must listen to your mother and brother-in-law at home and stop being naughty."
Chu Huanzhao nodded and said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't mess around anymore."
After this upheaval in the Chu family, she seemed much more composed than before.
Qin Wanru, who was standing to the side, was a little surprised. It was one thing to make Xiao Zhao listen to her, but what was the point of listening to her brother-in-law?
The key point is that Xiao Zhao, with his temper, didn't even try to argue back.
At this moment, Chu Chuyan took out a small booklet from her bosom: "Mother, you should keep this account book. It's inconvenient for me to take it with me when I go to the capital."
Since she was going to threaten them, she couldn't bring her trump card with her. Otherwise, if they turned on her and captured her, wouldn't the ledger fall into the enemy's hands?
Qin Wanru naturally understood this principle, and carefully placed the account book inside her inner garment: "Don't worry, Mother will keep it safe, unless I die!"
Zuan couldn't help but say, "It hasn't come to that yet, so don't say such unlucky things."
Qin Wan glared at him subconsciously, but surprisingly didn't refute him.
Chu Huanzhao, standing to the side, said worriedly, "Sister, are you in danger?"
Chu Chuyan patted her head: "Don't worry, Xiao Zhao, with my cultivation level, I'll definitely be able to protect myself."
"Although my cultivation is very advanced among my peers, there are many old monsters in the capital. What if the older generation attacks you regardless of their status?" Chu Huanzhao may be a bit carefree, but that doesn't mean she's stupid.
Seeing that her younger sister had started to think, Chu Chuyan smiled sincerely: "Don't worry, as long as the account books are still there, those people won't dare to lay a hand on me."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the other two seriously and said, "Mother, Grandmother, I will report back to the family every now and then. If we lose contact with you for several days in a row, it means that something has happened to me. At that time, you can just expose the contents of the account book. Everything we, the Chu family, have is won on the battlefield. We have the courage to fight to the death."
Qin Wanru held her daughter's hand tightly, her voice choked with emotion: "Chuyan~"
Although she was strong on ordinary days, she was still a woman after all. Now that her husband was in trouble, her daughter was embarking on an uncertain journey, and the future of the Chu family was shrouded in mist, her inner vulnerability was immediately revealed.
With her taking the lead, her two daughters could no longer hold back their worries and sorrows, and their eyes filled with tears.
Zuan instinctively wanted to comfort them, but knew that saying anything at this moment would be too weak. It would be better to let them vent their feelings so that they wouldn't suffer from keeping it bottled up inside.
The mother and her two daughters hugged and cried for a while, gradually calming down.
Qin Wanru then noticed Zu An standing to the side. Her face flushed, and she quickly wiped away her tears and sat up straight. "By the way, Chu Yan, when you go to the capital this time, please also visit your third...third brother. He's been living alone in the capital all these years, and it's really been too unfair to him."
