Chapter 5 Severing Relationship
Although Chu Ci spoke tough, he was not someone who would not listen to advice. Since taking the Fan family's property now was not feasible, a surprise attack would be the same, and it would also clear suspicion. Perfect!
After figuring this out, Chu Ci stopped worrying. He simply pulled out the small steamed buns with milk flavor that he had bought for free in the palace and handed them over: "Would you like some? It will be hard to eat them later."
"Sister-in-law, can you give me some?" Originally, Fan Qianxue didn't pay attention to the situation here, but the aroma of the milk-flavored steamed buns was so tempting. After hearing Chu Ci say that she would never be able to eat them again, the little girl couldn't help but speak cautiously.
Chu Ci turned around and saw a little girl staring intently at the steamed bun in his hand. It seemed that the Fan family had a cute little foodie hidden in their home! He really wanted to rub her, but the timing was wrong.
He immediately smiled and said, "Here, eat more. If it's not enough, I have more here."
Sure enough, the little girl's eyes lit up. She even pushed aside Fan Jingrui and came to Chu Ci's side. "Sister-in-law, you are so amazing. Can you tell me how you hid it?"
"Guess what, you guessed it right..." Just as Chu Ci was enthusiastically teasing the little cutie, a deep voice suddenly rang out. "Chu Ci, where are you? Come out quickly! Someone is coming from your mother's family."
Someone from Pingyang Marquis Mansion?
Chu Ci remembered the record in the book that the Fan family was captured, and the next day news came out that the second daughter, who was adopted by Pingyang Hou from the countryside, had knocked out her own sister and shamelessly married her off in order to marry the eldest son of the Taifu Mansion.
At that time, the original owner had died and the Fan family was unable to take care of themselves, so naturally, whatever the Pingyang Marquis Mansion said was what they believed.
Now, are you planning to repeat the same old trick?
Chu Ci's mind was full of thoughts, but his feet moved quickly. The moment he was called, he quickly walked towards the direction of the voice. "Sir!"
He is a sensible person, what a pity! However, the visitor's pity was only for a moment, and he turned to the man behind him and said: "If you have anything to say, hurry up. Otherwise, I believe your Lordship will not want to see the consequences."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but unexpectedly, the person who came suddenly called him.
"General Lian, please help me be a witness! Before..." Although General Lian was angry, he still stopped.
At this time, Chu Ci also saw the person who came, Zhou Yanfu, the steward of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion.
The old guy is very respectful to the general, but he is arrogant to himself?
Also, listen, listen. What nonsense is this, "Second Miss, no, I shouldn't call you Second Miss anymore."
"After all, the Marquis has already written a letter of severance. Later, I will go to the government to file it."
"From now on, you must not bring yourself to associate with the young lady anymore. Otherwise, the Marquis's methods will be beyond the reach of a mere exile like you. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand a thing. Isn't it just sacrificing my reputation to help that impostor? And in the end, he didn't even give a penny. Is that all? He's worthy of being a marquis? If you don't know him, you'd think he's some poor wretch from some remote corner!"
Chu Ci sputtered a lot, and finally concluded: "That's perfect. I don't want such stupid parents. Go tell them I agree. Get lost!"
Oh my God, who has ever seen such an arrogant exile? No, who has ever seen such an arrogant woman? Does she know her situation? Or has she already given up?
Not to mention Zhou Yanfu, even General Lian who came to confiscate the property was a little dumbfounded.
General Lian was stunned, and then he felt deep contempt for the Marquis of Pingyang. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs, yet the Marquis of Pingyang was using his biological daughter's reputation to serve his adopted daughter. He must be mentally unstable! People with such unclear minds must be avoided.
Compared to General Lian's rationality, Zhou Yanfu was deeply enraged. A mere country girl dared to insult the Marquis and his wife in such a way. "Just wait, I'll relay everything you said to the Marquis and his wife. Then..."
Haha, she'd be scared? Come on, let's hurt each other! Chu Ci showed no sign of weakness: "When the time comes, I'll definitely thank you all. Let the whole world know how crazy the people in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion are."
"You...you..." Zhou Yanfu was choked by Chu Ci's words and couldn't speak for a long time.
He knew that the actions of the people in Pingyang Marquis's mansion were disgusting and shameful. However, Pingyang Marquis was more powerful, and his life was in their hands, so he didn't dare to offend him.
Moreover, he had a secret thought in his heart, that is, what if the young lady was abandoned by the Marquis and the Madam?
But he couldn't say such thoughts, and finally he could only suppress his anger and say goodbye to General Lian and leave.
General Lian, who had witnessed the entire incident, felt a little sorry for what was happening and said, "Chu Er... No, Madam Fan, it's best not to confront the Marquis of Pingyang head-on in your current situation."
Chu Ci was speechless. "And then what? Continue to be bullied? Until death?"
General Lian: ...
After a long while, he could only shake his head helplessly, wondering how could a nearly cold-blooded person like him learn to sympathize with others!
Or maybe the other party's choice wasn't wrong. With Chu Ci's situation, how bad could it get? The corners of his mouth twitched for a long time, "It's okay, you can go back!"
"Okay, are you busy?" Chu Ci looked playful, as if he was not going to be exiled, but to go on a picnic.
Seeing this, General Lian couldn't help but sigh, is this a huge blow? Has he gone crazy?
Chu Ci had no idea she was being mistaken for a lunatic. She boldly returned to Fan Jingrui and obediently became his bride.
He watched helplessly as General Lian and the eldest and second princes who arrived later checked and packed the property of the Fan Mansion one by one.
It seems that Emperor Jian'an not only regarded the crown prince as a key suspect, but also had some suspicions about the eldest and second princes.
How could such a good thing happen? If the Fan family's property disappeared again, wouldn't the relationship between these three people become even more tense? "Hahahaha, I didn't expect that Chu Ci is also a genius!"
The more I think about it, the more beautiful it becomes. The corners of her mouth are harder to control than AK.
Little did he know that it was this appearance that made General Lian believe that Chu Ci had been driven crazy.
People always sympathize with the weak!
So much so that the next day, it was rumored that Chu Ci was born with bad luck, but he shamelessly knocked out his own elder sister and married her off.
The evil spirit was brought to the Fan family, so that when the rumor spread that the Fan family's house was confiscated that night, not only did the general scoff at it, but even the officers and soldiers who came to confiscate the house did not believe it.
Some people who disliked but were not afraid of Pingyang Marquis's power directly spread what Pingyang Marquis's steward Zhou Yanfu had done at Fan's house the night before.
So, when the people of Pingyang Hou finally suppressed their fear and ordered people to report the case, they not only did not receive any sympathy, but were instead ridiculed.
