Chapter 121 Aunt Zhao: So disgusting
When Chu Ruohan rushed to the front hall, she happened to run into Aunt Zhao head-on, and their eyes met briefly in the air.
After just a glance at each other, they walked in tacitly.
Inside the house, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating.
Gu Chengyan knelt straight on the ground and was scolded by Marquis Anyang.
His head was lowered, and the hair on his forehead was a little messy.
"Look at what you've done!"
Marquis Anyang was pacing back and forth in the hall with a face full of anger. How come his two sons were more stupid than the other!
Marquis Anyang felt a surge of blood rushing to his forehead.
He had completely given up on Gu Cheng'an and placed all his hopes on Gu Chengyan, regarding him as his only heir.
He planned carefully for it, but before everything really started, Gu Chengyan was sent back to Baima Academy.
Marquis Anyang originally planned to let Gu Chengyan study hard under Confucius and gain some experience.
Confucius was a great scholar of his time, with profound knowledge and great reputation. Even the emperor praised him highly.
Even if Gu Chengyan fails the imperial examination in the future, with his status as the third son of Anyang Marquis's mansion and the recommendation of Confucius,
He could also find a position for Gu Chengyan in the court, which would make his future easier.
Once Gu Junze dies, Gu Chengyan will be able to inherit the title naturally and support the entire Anyang Marquis Mansion.
But who knew he was so disappointing...
Aunt Zhao swayed her mountain-like body and quickly walked to the side of Anyang Hou. "My Lord, what's wrong? Why are you so angry for no reason?"
Chu Ruohan walked in and happened to pass by the kneeling Chu Nanxin. She walked past her slowly.
"Meet father."
Marquis Anyang was burning with anger. When he saw Chu Ruohan saluting, he didn't even raise his eyelids. He just hummed and looked impatient, with no intention of paying any attention to her at all.
But in his heart, he gritted his teeth. The Chu family really raised a good daughter...
When Aunt Zhao stood next to Marquis Anyang, her huge figure made the Marquis Anyang's strong body look a little small.
She stretched out her palm-leaf fan-like hand and gently soothed the Anyang Marquis's anger, muttering, "Alright, my Lord, please don't be angry. It will only make you sick."
Marquis Anyang impatiently waved her hand away, but Aunt Zhao didn't care at all. Instead, she turned her hands behind her back and wiped them quietly.
She had long lost the desire to compete for favor, and there was no need to compete.
Now, she is the only woman left by Marquis Anyang's side. Although Marquis Anyang dislikes her fatness and doesn't like her, she is too lazy to deal with the old man.
She is now in charge of the household, and is served with delicious food and drinks every day. She doesn't have to set up those cumbersome rules, and her life is very happy.
"I was really tricked this time..."
Before Gu Chengyan could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Marquis of Anyang: "How dare you say that! My son, Gu Changye, was actually schemed against by a dandy from a poor family."
"He was driven back in disgrace. This is a disgrace to our Anyang Marquisate."
Gu Chengyan was filled with helplessness. It had always been like this since he was a child.
Gu Cheng'an has his mother's protection, but as for him, whenever a dispute arises, no matter whether he is right or wrong, it is always his fault.
He opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but ultimately lowered his head and remained silent.
Marquis Anyang looked at his son kneeling on the ground, his heart filled with anger at his son for not fighting back.
He has always believed that a strict father can produce a filial son, and only with such strict requirements can the child have a promising future...
Only Chu Ruohan's eyes were always on Chu Nanxin.
She suddenly said, "Chu Tongfang, why did you go to the academy for no reason?"
Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Chu Nanxin.
Yes, if she hadn’t gone to the academy, Gu Chengyan wouldn’t have been so embarrassed.
Chu Nan's heart skipped a beat and her scalp felt numb. She had already knelt as close to the edge of the room as possible, fearing that Marquis Anyang's anger would spread to her.
She forced herself to remain calm, took a deep breath, and when she looked up, there was a hint of panic and uneasiness in her eyes.
Even her voice trembled unconsciously: "It's...it's cold, I'm going to bring you some underwear."
"Didn't my third brother come back from his vacation these past two days?"
Chu Ruohan's light words were like a sharp dagger, exposing all of Chu Nanxin's little thoughts.
Marquis Anyang became even more furious, "Send this restless woman back to the Chu family!"
"My Lord, that's not the case."
This is to put all the blame on her.
Chu Nanxin turned pale with fear and begged for mercy: "Third Master, Cheng Yan...save me..."
But before she could even finish her plea, she was ruthlessly dragged away by the servants.
Gu Chengyan was also angry. He had only touched this woman twice in total, but was caught in bed each time.
She is his calamity...
Marquis Anyang once again used the family law, raising the whip high and bringing it down with a whistling sound. However, when it landed on Gu Chengyan, it was not like the one that hit Gu Junze.
Each blow seemed to be carried out with deliberate restraint, resulting in much ado about nothing.
Although the skin was broken, this injury was nothing.
Gu Chengyan clenched his teeth, his cheeks puffing slightly from the force. Although Anyang Hou had reduced his force, the whip still hurt.
He was angry and annoyed in his heart. Liu Kang and Wang Chen would never let this account go like this.
In the interval of severe pain, he turned his head suddenly, his eyes as sharp as torches, and happened to meet Chu Ruohan's eyes.
The moment their eyes met, a strong intuition surged in Gu Chengyan's heart. He dared to conclude that Chu Ruohan was definitely involved in this matter.
This vicious woman...
On the other hand, Chu Ruohan frowned slightly. Marquis Anyang had never been so soft-hearted towards Gu Junze.
That time, he was really beaten to death.
Marquis Anyang whipped a few more times, his movements becoming slower and slower, and his arms began to tremble slightly.
He looked at the scars on Gu Chengyan's back, and the anger in his heart was gradually replaced by heartache.
Suddenly, his hand loosened and the whip fell to the ground with a "snap".
"Forget it, forget it!" Anyang Hou sighed, "Carry him back and find a doctor to take a good look at him."
The servants hurried forward and carefully lifted Gu Chengyan up.
Gu Chengyan's face was as pale as paper. When he was carried past Chu Ruohan, Chu Ruohan clearly saw the coldness in his eyes, like a knife.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if she was smiling, and she raised her eyebrows slightly. A hint of interest flashed in her eyes, as if silently provoking...
After Marquis Anyang left, the front hall was quiet for a while.
Aunt Zhao and Chu Ruohan walked out side by side, with smiles on their faces, "It was really a sight to see today, what a lively scene."
Chu Ruohan didn't reply, and Aunt Zhao continued to talk to herself: "Tsk tsk, she's soft-hearted towards her own son after all..."
"Aunt Zhao, are you still going to lose weight?" Chu Ruohan's sudden words made Aunt Zhao's face change.
Losing weight is not as important as life!
Thinking back to the last time she lost weight, she was so tired that she couldn't get out of bed for three whole days. Every movement felt like torture.
From then on, whenever she saw Song Ruyan, she would hide away like a mouse seeing a cat.
Aunt Zhao made an excuse and said unnaturally, "I have some things to do in the courtyard..."
Before he finished speaking, he quickly slipped away, fearing that if he stayed for another second, he would be dragged to Hongmeng Court by Chu Ruohan.
Chu Ruohan retracted the fleeting smile on her lips and called out in a cold voice, "Yuling..."
