Chapter 332: Family Division, the Prince's Inquiry
Upon hearing this, Fourth Uncle Fan Zeng could no longer pretend and suddenly raised his head.
At that moment, his eyes looking at Chu Ci were filled with hatred so strong that it almost materialized. His fierce eyes seemed to be able to spew out raging fire, wanting to burn Chu Ci to ashes.
But after catching a glimpse of Fan Jingrui's warning eyes, even though he felt extremely unwilling, he could only lower his head helplessly.
But his clenched teeth that made a clattering sound, and the muscles on his face that twitched involuntarily, all revealed the extreme anger and frustration in his heart.
Seeing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but sneer in contempt and said sarcastically, "You are really both a novice and a playful person."
Fan Zengzhi heard this, but he chose to remain silent, with his lips tightly closed, and said nothing more.
But after entering the yard, Fan Zengzhi suddenly burst out with amazing power.
He broke free from the guards' grip, took two steps at a time like a gust of wind, and threw himself beside Mr. Fan, crying out at the top of his lungs, "Father, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance."
Seeing this, Liu also pleaded with him, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, we will definitely change in the future. Please don't separate us."
As she spoke, she kept wiping away her tears, which flowed freely like a flood, making her look very pitiful.
However, everyone had already lost all their patience due to the couple's daily selfishness and unreasonable behavior.
Everyone either looked at them indifferently, without a trace of pity in their eyes, or turned their heads away. No one was willing to plead for them.
Fifth Aunt even snorted coldly and said mercilessly: "If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place! Now that you know you are wrong, what did you do earlier?"
When Uncle Wu heard this, his face suddenly changed and turned red in an instant. He wanted to cover his wife's mouth immediately.
But just as he was about to make a move, Qianxue and Qianyan quickly separated him from the left and right.
At this moment, Aunt Wu was like a rooster with high fighting spirit. She first looked at her husband proudly, then pulled off the sleeve of her uncle who was holding her, and stood with her head held high and her chest puffed out, showing no intention of retreating.
Then, she took a deep breath, calmed her excitement, and continued loudly, "If only one of you two had been more considerate, and had put in more effort on a daily basis, and thought more about this family and their feelings, things wouldn't have gotten to the point where they are now."
Aunt Wu thought to herself that the old man had finally come to his senses, and she must not let him be soft-hearted again.
So, she became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes determined, as if she wanted to pour out all the thoughts that had been pent up in her heart for a long time.
The others did not have the same aggressiveness as Aunt Five, but they all agreed with her accusations against the Fourth Brother and his wife from the bottom of their hearts.
Therefore, when Fan Zeng said "You...you" for a long time but couldn't find the words to refute, and looked for help to the Fan brothers who had defended him before, everyone, including Eunuch Chu Ci, turned their heads away silently.
When Mr. Fan saw this, he knew in his heart that the actions of the fourth son and his wife had completely offended everyone in the family.
"Fourth brother, if you still care about the good things in this family, just listen to what your father says. Leave!" Old Master Fan sighed deeply, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and helplessness.
After saying this, Mr. Fan turned to Chu Ci's father-in-law, Fan Chongchang, and solemnly instructed him, "Boss, go get the account book from home as soon as possible."
If we want to divide the entire family, it will certainly be difficult to complete in a short period of time.
But Fan Zengzhi was just a bastard's son, and a bastard who had made a big mistake and disappointed everyone.
So it was quick to divide his family.
Of course, Mr. Fan is not a harsh and ruthless person.
In addition to the wealth he earned in Yazhou, Mr. Fan allocated 10% of the wealth returned by the emperor to Fan Zeng.
So, that afternoon, Fan Zeng and his family of five hurriedly moved out of the Fan Mansion.
The Fan family's return to Beijing had already attracted everyone's attention, and this series of actions put them squarely at the center of public attention.
Even the crown prince, who was so busy that he had no time to rest after being ordered around by the emperor as soon as he returned to Beijing, took time out to visit Fan's mansion to find out what was going on.
"Well, let me be honest. What mistake did the fourth master of the Fan family make that made the old man send him away in a hurry as soon as he returned to the capital?" The prince at this moment stretched his neck, his face full of curiosity and gossip, which made Chu Ci unable to bear to look at him and he wanted to roll his eyes.
"Are you free?" Chu Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, with a playful look on his face. He looked the prince up and down carefully, and finally casually threw out these three words.
The prince who was being criticized was already used to this and showed no sign of anger on his face.
He faked a cough, trying to hide his embarrassment. "Forget it, just give me a straight answer. Fan Zengzhi is a descendant of the Fan family, after all, right?"
The prince would not ask such a question for no reason. There must be something going on.
"Your Highness, this problem could not be?" Chu Ci said, raising his hand and pointing to the sky with a serious expression, the meaning of which was self-evident.
The prince had long known that Chu Ci had a big imagination, but he never expected that she would really dare to guess anything!
Before he could even open his mouth, he heard Chu Ci say, "Could it be that one of your brothers has been confused?"
"Cough, cough, cough..." Upon hearing this, the prince suddenly burst into a violent coughing fit, so heart-wrenching that he almost broke his lungs. His face turned red in an instant and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Seeing this, Chu Ci knew that he had guessed correctly, "Who is it? Could it be the Second Prince who is always making a name for himself and has such great luck?"
The prince was coughing so violently that he couldn't speak at all. He could only give Chu Ci a thumbs up while coughing.
Seeing this, Chu Ci stopped provoking the prince and stood quietly by, silently handing him a glass of water.
It wasn't until the prince's emotions gradually calmed down, his coughing stopped, and his breathing became steady and smooth that Chu Ci asked, "Can you tell me how to deal with that person?"
Upon hearing this, the prince stared at Chu Ci for a long time, as if trying to see through her. "Do you hate that person?"
I had hoped to get something useful out of Chu Ci, but he didn't even think twice and just said something. "You've been hurt so badly by him, don't you hate him?"
The prince was speechless and stood there for a while, not knowing how to respond.
Fortunately, Chu Ci did not insist that the prince give a response.
"So, we are in the same group. Tell me quickly, what exactly happened? How did the emperor suddenly realize that the man was a fake?"
Chu Ci's face was full of curiosity and anticipation. He wanted to know what wonderful drama he had missed in the capital because of this trip to the northern border.
