Chapter 37: Means, Not Cruel Enough
The handsome faces of the two men suddenly became gloomy, as if a storm was about to come, and even the murderous intent deep in their hearts burst out again.
Chu Boyue is the eldest grandson of the fourth branch, so he is in charge of the business of the fourth branch.
But compared with what Chu Jiuning had in her hands, this little business was as tiny as a snow seed. He was never satisfied. After testing Old Master Chu's bottom line several times, he began to become more and more unscrupulous.
If you really want to say it, then just say it. He is not hiding anything anyway.
Chu Jiuning looked at the blue veins jumping on Chu Boyue's forehead, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she looked at him and said.
"Brother Yue has planted six spies in my house. Last year, he embezzled 748,000 taels of silver from my eldest wife and was responsible for 17 deaths..."
The cold and handsome young man stood up, his pupils suddenly tightened, and because of the movement, the table beside him was overturned to the ground.
How did she know this?
He thought he had done these things very secretly and had been trying to erase all traces afterwards, but Chu Jiuning remembered every word exactly.
"Brother Chi, you built an underground palace beneath the manor. There must be hundreds of beauties down there, right? Even the emperor didn't play with you as extravagantly."
Chu Jingchi's face suddenly turned pale, and panic filled his eyes.
How did she know?
He stayed in the manor for five years under the pretext of recuperating from illness, just to build this palace, which contained various beauties he bought from all over the country.
and.
All the craftsmen who built this palace died, and no news of it leaked out at all!
"My grandfather has been very strict with the rules over the years, and every branch has signed and pledged to abide by them, but my two cousins don't seem to take us seriously at all. So, Brother Yue and Brother Chi, I am much more tolerant of you than you think, but..."
Chu Jiuning leaned forward slightly, her eyes filled with coldness.
"It's best to leave some room for maneuver when doing things, so as not to get stuck. Everything we say today will be reported to the East Palace, which means His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will know everything about you."
Chu Boyue and Chu Jingchi felt as if thousands of knives and arrows were piercing their bodies, and they subconsciously looked up and around.
"You can't see it."
Chu Jiuning reminded lightly and leaned back.
"How is it? Are you willing to cooperate?"
Chu Jingchi subconsciously stepped back. Chu Boyue clenched his fists, lowered his eyes, and his emotions surged.
The shock deep in their hearts made it impossible for them to calm down.
Chu Jiuning had known what they had done for a long time, but she had never been upset.
Why doesn't she come and cause trouble?
Isn't this the best time to deal with myself?
"A mere few hundred thousand taels and an underground palace are nothing to me. I don't care what you do with them, but don't harm innocent lives. Accumulate more virtue for yourself and your clansmen. You families are obsessed with being adopted into my parents' names and want to take charge of this vast family fortune, but ask yourselves, if this huge business were handed over to you, would you be able to control it?"
"Why not?"
Chu Boyue subconsciously retorted that almost every branch was working hard to plan for the child to be adopted by the eldest branch.
and.
The most important thing.
They are all men and can carry on the family line, but Chu Jiuning is a woman and she cannot inherit this huge family business at all.
"good."
Chu Jiuning's eyes became sharp, as if he wanted to see through Chu Boyue.
"There's a mine in Huaibei that's about to be developed. I'll leave it to you. If you can mine it safely, I'll tell Grandpa about this. But if you can't, you'd better give up your shameless thoughts as soon as possible. A nine-foot-tall man should earn what he wants and fight for it himself. What's the point of trying to get something for nothing?"
These words are extremely serious.
It was like a heavy blow to the hearts of the four young masters, but Chu Boyue's dark eyes under his long eyelashes lit up.
Over the years.
The eldest son of the family has an almost airtight control over the business. Anyone who wants to get involved is almost always caught in the trap. One mine is enough to feed and support them for a lifetime, let alone the mineral chain of the eldest son of the family, which cannot be given up at any cost.
"good."
Chu Boyue suppressed his inner excitement, raised his handsome face and nodded.
Chu Jiuning raised her hand, and Amber, Mingtang, Linglong, and Nanny Hong came over with four contracts.
"I'll give each of you a mine. You'll draw lots to determine what kind of ore it is. You'll get whatever you draw. You'll have to mine one-third of it within a year. If you can pull it out successfully, you'll be considered successful. This is the first test for those hoping to enter the main house, and Chunshan Academy is one of them."
Chu Boyue took the pen and signed his name without hesitation, and then others also signed their names.
Chu Jiuning raised her eyes and looked at the expressions of the four of them.
Chu Linxiao and Chu Yiming were naturally happy, but more uneasy. However, Chu Boyue and Chu Jingchi were ambitious and wanted to do something big right away.
Chu Jiuning sneered in her heart. If they thought that they could just send people over and mine them hard, they would be too naive.
If you are not careful, you will lose your life!
"Xiaojiu, there are four of us now. You only want to choose two. Do you have any candidates in mind?"
Chu Linxiao was very happy to help Chu Jiuning share her worries. After all, the eldest branch of the family had declined, and it was indeed very difficult for the grandfather and grandson to depend on each other. Although Jiuning said that their methods were not good enough and their hearts were not cruel enough, he would also try his best to be a good person and protect her and them.
"How about you and Brother Yue first? If anything goes wrong along the way, we can change people. If our Chu family can't find a good one, I'll think of another way."
Chu Jingchi didn't have any special reaction after hearing this. With the mine in his hands and the ability to prove his strength, he felt that it didn't matter whether he went to Chunshan or not.
and.
He looked at Chu Yiming meaningfully. If he could get him to agree to let him manage his mine, he would have two mines in his hands.
"Brother Yi, you and Brother Chi can go back first, but please keep an eye on the things in your hands and don't let them fall into the hands of others."
Listening to Chu Jiuning's instructions, Chu Yiming subconsciously stuffed the document into his arms and nodded heavily.
"I'll be careful."
Chu Jiuning nodded.
"Be tough when necessary. Don't always consider others. Remember, if others consider you, they won't make requests that they know will embarrass you, or say things that will upset you."
"I see."
Looking at Chu Jiuning's decisive and aggressive demeanor, as well as her aggressive aura, Chu Yiming felt his blood boiling. No wonder the first wife's family was able to develop so well, it seemed that means were still very important.
Chu Jingchi's face darkened when his thoughts were seen through, but he didn't dare to say anything else. He walked towards the exit with Chu Yiming.
At the bend.
He turned his head and looked at Chu Jiuning coldly, with a strange look in his eyes.
