Chapter 126 Trivia
"Young Master Fan is back—"
As Chu Ci and his party arrived at the door in their carriage, Fan Jingrui lifted the curtain, and the little boy closest to the carriage shouted with full energy and then ran away.
The other little ones followed suit, but one of them was probably surrounded by people and couldn't stop for a while, so he slowed down.
Because of this, he saw the purple-robed envoy with his eyes closed and a pale face. He was immediately shocked and howled: "Master Fan, you've returned with a dead man——"
Chu Ci noticed the commotion outside and jumped out of the carriage. "What's going on? When did you become so famous, my husband?"
Just as Fan Jingrui was about to shake his head, the door to the Fan family creaked open. The person who opened the door was none other than Fan Jingrui's second uncle, Fan Chongyuan.
Fan Jingrui hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Second Uncle."
"Rui Ge'er is back, come in quickly..." Before the word "come" came out, a light blue figure rushed towards them at a rapid speed.
Chu Ci immediately saw that Fan Jingrui's second uncle was blocking the door with his body while saying to Fan Jingrui and Chu Ci, "Brother Rui, nephew and wife, please help stop them. Don't let them get away."
"What's going on?" Chu Ci looked at the familiar faces.
But why can't she understand the situation at hand? Can someone come out and explain it?
However, his second uncle Fan Chongyuan was only concerned with blocking the other party and didn't say a word. Fan Qianlan, who was only focused on getting out, also didn't bother to explain.
Chu Ci is really speechless.
"Stop—" Chu Ci yelled, "We're still taking care of the patient. If there's anything, let's go back and talk about it, okay?"
Only then did Fan Chongyuan and his daughter see the purple-robed envoy being supported by Jin Ming. Immediately, without hesitation, they stood aside against the wall.
Chu Ci: When did Fan Jingrui's second uncle and sister become so funny?
Chu Ci turned to look at Fan Jingrui beside him.
Fan Jingrui turned around with a bewildered look on his face to confirm. Yes, he had walked through the right door. Second Uncle, still his second uncle.
Chu Ci received Fan Jingrui's signal, glanced around, and just as Fan Qianlan rushed out, he pulled her to his side. "Tell me, what's going on? Maybe I can help, sister-in-law?"
Fan Qianlan bit her lip, glanced at her father who was not far away, and then whispered, "Sister-in-law, I don't want to get married."
"Get married?" If she remembered correctly, Fan Qianlan was not yet fifteen years old?
Even though women generally marry early in this era, it is still too early to get married at this age.
"Did your parents, grandpa, and grandma all agree?" Chu Ci asked again in disbelief.
Hearing Chu Ci's question, Fan Qianlan nodded with tears in her eyes. "Sister-in-law, I don't want to stay here forever."
Chu Ci didn't know what kind of family could win the collective favor of the elders of the Fan family.
But Fan Qianlan herself was so resistant that Chu Ci couldn't just turn a blind eye. He could only pat her hand comfortingly: "Okay, go back to the house first. Your eldest brother and I will come find you later after you have settled Master Zi Yi."
"Okay." Fan Qianlan knew that in the Fan family, if there was one person who could change everyone's minds, it would be Chu Ci.
So when she heard that Chu Ci was willing to take care of her, she did not resist her father's call and obediently followed Fan Chongyuan away.
Fan Qianlan left, but Chu Ci's heart could not calm down.
So even when he went to pay his respects to Mr. and Mrs. Fan, Chu Ci was still thinking about this matter and was a little absent-minded.
Seeing this, everyone present thought Chu Ci was tired from traveling. "Brother Rui, if you are tired from traveling, go back and rest."
It was rare for the whole family to be together, so how could Chu Ci leave? She immediately shook her head and refused: "No, I'm not tired. It's just that my grandson-in-law didn't understand some things and was thinking too hard."
"Rui Ge'er's family is such a busy man. It's so rare for him to come home, but when he pays his respects to his elders, he is still thinking about other things. I don't know if he is thinking about things or people?" Chu Ci raised his head.
Isn't this the Fourth Aunt who has been pretending to be good since Qianyan's incident? Why is she showing off again?
Chu Ci turned to look at Mr. Fan and Mrs. Fan who were sitting at the top.
Both of them turned away awkwardly and looked at Fourth Uncle, whose face flushed red.
Chu Ci suddenly had an idea. Could Qian Lan's unusual marriage be because of this Fourth Aunt?
Thinking of this, Chu Ci said to his fourth aunt Liu Yinzhang with disdain: "There's nothing I can do. I don't have the same good fortune as your fourth aunt. Even if I made a huge mistake, my fourth uncle would protect me regardless of right or wrong."
Having said that, Chu Ci deliberately glanced at his fourth uncle beside Liu Yinzhang, and sure enough, he saw that his fourth uncle's face had become very ugly.
However, Chu Ci did not stop there, but continued: "However, people like us who can only rely on ourselves are not easy to bully. If anyone dares to reach out, I will definitely chop off their claws."
The word "chop off" is full of murderous intent.
Liu Yinzhang was frightened by Chu Ci's appearance and subconsciously hid his hands behind his back.
Then, several suppressed laughs were heard in the room.
Even Mr. Fan and Mrs. Fan at the top of the table had a slight smile on their faces.
What kind of person is Chu Ci? A typical person who takes advantage of others to gain an advantage. Seeing this, he directly made things clear. "Fourth Aunt is hiding so quickly, could it be that she has done something to offend the Fan family?"
"I, I am also doing this for the Fan family." Liu Yinzhang was deeply impressed by Chu Ci's strength, and he stammered.
Not to mention the other people present, I'm afraid even Liu Yinzhang himself doesn't believe it?
Chu Ci snorted coldly, "For the sake of the Fan family, have you asked for their opinions? And Qian Lan, who you sacrificed, isn't she still a daughter of the Fan family?"
Chu Ci originally just wanted to trick her, but he didn't expect that the person who reacted the most was not Liu Yinzhang, but Qian Lan's mother, Wang.
"Don't say anything more. Qianlan volunteered. Miao Xiucai fell in love with Qianlan at first sight. He will definitely treat Qianlan well."
Chu Ci narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and the coldness in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
But she didn't do anything to Second Aunt, instead directing her criticism at Mr. Fan and the old lady at the top. "Grandpa, Grandma, could you two explain in detail what's going on?"
Mr. and Mrs. Fan knew that Chu Ci would not give up easily, but they never expected that Chu Ci would point the finger at them so directly.
For a moment, the two of them started coughing non-stop.
And he kept winking at his eldest son and daughter-in-law.
Fan Chongchang was also unwilling to go against Chu Ci over a shameful matter, so he could only try his best to wink at his wife.
Gu sighed helplessly: "This matter has to start from the current Yazhou Miao family."
