Chapter 21 Crazy Literature YYDS
huff huff
The Chu family finally understood that Chu Ci was no longer the same Chu girl they had manipulated a year ago. This infuriated them, yet they had no choice but to suppress their anger.
"What do you want in exchange for letting Ling'er go?" Chu Xiaxiong said this almost through gritted teeth.
It must have been the Fan family who taught him. Chu Xiaxiong didn't believe it. A country bumpkin who had never even touched a book had become a completely different person in just a month.
And Chu Ling'er, who I had thought was intelligent and considerate, had already made two stupid mistakes in less than a day. If possible, Chu Xiaxiong would have let this increasingly clueless adopted daughter fend for herself.
Chu Ci didn't know that because of his actions, his adoptive father was already considering giving up on Chu Ling'er. "I don't want to hear any nonsense about fulfilling my filial duty. So, please stay away from me."
"I agree." "No, I don't agree." Chu Xiaxiong and Li Yanran spoke almost at the same time, but their meanings were very different.
Chu Xiaxiong's face was ashen. Li Yanran ignored the contempt of the people around her. "Even if you don't want to acknowledge us, it's a fact that you've been in the Chu family for a year. Since we're strangers, shouldn't we be refunded for that year's expenses?"
"Oh my! Wasn't this woman considered a noble lady in the capital before? How could she lose her dignity so quickly? She gave her rotten food for a year, how can she be paid back?"
Working as a servant at the post station, I've seen a lot of people of all kinds, but this is the first time I've seen someone like Chu's mother. So, a kitchen helper couldn't help herself.
The girl next to her was even more amused. "Then just give her back a year's worth of rotten rice! How simple."
No, Chu Ci couldn't hold it back any longer, it was so funny. "Hahahaha!"
Seeing this, Fan Jingrui wanted Chu Ci to calm down. Turning around, he saw his usually serious parents' mouths twitching, clearly showing how hard it was for them to hold back.
Look again, those aunts, their shoulders shrugged. Okay, they've all been led astray by Chu Ci.
In desperation, he had to personally step in and said, "It's true that the Chu family raised Chu Ci for a year. As her husband, I will repay this debt on her behalf. There are 365 days in a year, three meals a day. That's 1,095 meals a year. Do you want to write it off all at once, or repay it slowly along the way?"
If it was just Chu Ci, the Chu family could still make trouble, but since it was Fan Jingrui who took the lead, it represented the attitude of the Fan family. Even though she was prepared to have her face stepped on, Li Yanran still felt insulted.
She trembled for a long time, but finally couldn't open her mouth.
Chu Xiaxiong, truly worthy of being a man who had spent years in the imperial court, possessed a thick skin that was unmatched by ordinary people. "This situation is difficult for everyone. So, I'll pay it back slowly!"
"Okay, then does Madam Chu agree?" Fan Jingrui agreed readily, but the soul's question made everyone in the Chu family feel extremely embarrassed.
Even Chu's mother, Li Yanran, looked at Chu Ci with hatred, "I agree. Now you can let Ling'er go!"
The goal was achieved, and the hostage in hand naturally lost its use. "Here, it's for you."
After saying that, he turned around and poured himself a bowl of steaming hot beef brisket porridge. "Take your time, who will eat this delicious porridge?"
Chu Ci's trick is really bad! The key is that there are people cooperating with her. Fan Jingrui also learned bad things from Chu Ci, and brought a bowl of porridge to Chu Xiaxiong and said, "This is the first meal."
To answer or not to answer, this is a serious problem. Chu Xiaxiong hesitated for three seconds, and finally took it. "Go back!"
"Remember to return the bowl—" Chu Ci's shout nearly sent the Chu couple packing. The Chu brothers felt they would become cowards if they continued to endure this. They turned around and wanted to teach Chu Ci a lesson.
Chu Ci immediately labeled An greedy: "Why, you want it too? Not to mention the door, there's no window."
There was no way to fight this battle, so I could only leave in disgrace.
Sure enough, crazy literature YYDS!
As for who ended up with the bowl of porridge, Chu Ci had no interest in knowing. Her mind was preoccupied with the approaching Secret Guards, fearing the Emperor would make another foolish move.
The truth was, there was no such thing as a foolish move. The secret guards were so anxious because of the emperor's words. "Old Master, the emperor has ordered me to inform you that Concubine Ming has been secretly detained. You can rest assured."
Mr. Fan was indeed relieved. He spoke rather modestly, "Your Majesty is wise and will surely expose those hidden demons one by one. I am but a guilty minister, how dare I trouble Your Majesty to worry about me?"
It's none of the secret guard's business! The message has been delivered, and it's time for others to withdraw.
No matter how much shock his appearance caused!
First came the Liu family, who had something to hide. They were so frightened that they nearly had a cardiac arrest. Someone spoke faster than his brain could move, "Secret Guard, what about the Liu family..."
"If you want to live, keep your mouth shut." This was the head of the Liu family. Initially, out of helplessness, the Liu family never contacted the palace again. However, Qianyan's mother was still alive, so this secret was no longer a secret.
Sure enough, after being warned, the man only felt fear, not regret: "I... no wonder..."
No wonder the Liu family didn't dare to say anything. They had a vague guess in their hearts, hoping it would just be a guess. Although they knew the hope was slim.
So, one by one they turned into quails.
The Chu family thought they were aboveboard, but they had just offended the Fan family! If only they had known earlier...
But if they had known this earlier, would they have changed their attitude towards Chu Ci? They had a vague answer in their hearts, but they were unwilling to admit it.
If you don’t acknowledge it, does it mean it doesn’t exist?
No, it would only become a thorn, piercing the Chu family and Chu Linger fiercely. The longer it lasted, the deeper it would pierce.
And what about Chuci?
As long as the emperor doesn't act up, it's time to eat and drink. Didn't my cheap husband order braised lamb trotters, spicy lamb legs, and braised lamb last night? Let's get started.
The Fan family and the officials had eaten and drunk their fill early in the morning, so they were fine. But the Chu and Liu families had suffered greatly. They hadn't eaten enough that morning, and after being frightened by the secret guards, they were completely exhausted.
But the Fan family acted as if it was intentional. Even before breakfast, lunch was already prepared.
At first, seeing them frying lamb's trotters, I could still comfort myself by thinking that it didn't matter that the Fan family was favored by the emperor; they were still corrupt.
However, when the aroma of sauce and meat of braised lamb trotters, as well as the fragrance of unknown spices filled the air, they realized that it was not the Fan family that had fallen, but that they were too ignorant.
However, this is not the end. It is the beginning. Spicy lamb shanks and braised lamb are both great dishes.
So for the whole morning, the fresh aroma of spicy lamb legs and the rich flavor of braised lamb stimulated their senses all the time.
It’s so torturous!
