Chapter 20: Fatal Accusation
"Ci'er, do you really hate your mother so much? Do you hate her so much that you are willing to destroy your own reputation?" The voice came before the person arrived. As soon as Mother Chu opened her mouth, she looked as if she was disappointed in her mother.
In this situation, whenever Chu Ci opens her mouth to speak, she will be greeted with a response like "We have our own difficulties, and we are doing this for your own good."
Back and forth, endlessly.
If Chu Ci's attitude had been more radical, he would have been branded as ignorant and disregarding the overall situation.
Chu Ci is no fool. He dares to point fingers only if there is no threat to him. But what if the person being accused is a lunatic?
Chu Ci would let them experience what it meant to be speechless today. "It's like this again. Every time, no matter what happens, I'm always wrong. Yes, I just hate you. Why don't you chase this dove away?"
Chu Ci ran towards the stable, screaming as if driven mad. He dragged Chu Ling'er, who was hiding and watching the show, out. Without saying anything, he grabbed her hair and slapped her in the face mercilessly.
Papapapapa——
In the blink of an eye, he slapped more than ten times.
There’s no way, my heart hurt so much yesterday, I have to hurry!
Therefore, Chu Ci's movements were quick and fierce. When Chu's mother reacted, Chu Ling'er's cheeks were already covered with crimson slap marks.
Chu Junyi didn't even care about his mother at the moment, and rushed towards Chu Ci in one swift step. Unfortunately, Chu Ci had been on guard against him for a long time, and his mother-in-law and several aunts were also quick to react.
Chu Junyi could only helplessly rage: "Chu Ci, quickly release Ling'er. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Chu Junyi was furious, but Chu Ci was so happy that he almost jumped up. The moment his palm touched Chu Linger, her heart stopped hurting.
You know, she secretly tried several times last night. As long as she left the space and was within a range of fifty meters, her heart would inexplicably hurt.
Could it be that the contract is also based on bullying the weak and fearing the strong?
Chu Ci smiled. He would know if he tried it. "How do you say it's impolite? Is that so?"
After saying that, he slapped Chu Ling'er twice in the face.
"It doesn't hurt, it really doesn't hurt!" Emma, that's great. Yesterday, I thought I was going to play coward. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events! Chu Ci was really excited.
As a result, he didn't notice that the soft-hearted Chu mother was willing to get hurt and not let him go. "Chu Ci, you bastard, how dare you. How dare you hit me? You deserve to die-"
As expected, whenever he was with Chu Ling'er, something would always happen. Chu Ci felt helpless about this and was prepared to get hurt.
Old Madam Fan had walked over at some point and stood directly in front of Chu Ci. "Li Yanran, don't forget the circumstances under which you sent the letter of severance to Ci'er."
"Yes, we showed some mercy yesterday. But you guys are always thinking about your adopted daughter. Although the palm and the back of the hand are made of flesh, who would be willing to be the back when you can be the palm?"
Wow, her mother-in-law is so cool, so cool. It really touched Chu Ci's heart.
"Wow, grandma, mother, my mother and the others don't care about me at all. In the past year since I went back, every meal has been rotten. I told her about it, but she said I was inconsiderate to the servants. But...but, even when I was living away from home, I've never had such a hardship before."
"Sometimes, I wonder if there was no such thing as a wrong birth. I was only there to protect Chu Ling'er from disaster because of some unavoidable reason."
Chu Ci's words were decisive as soon as he opened his mouth. Didn't the Chu family always try to suppress others with filial piety? But what if all this was fake?
As expected, Mother Chu was dumbfounded, and Chu Xiaxiong was truly anxious. He hurried out of the stable, "Chu Ci, this is too much. All the things that happened before were due to your father's lax management of the family. But you can't doubt our blood relationship because of this."
"The Emperor was furious at the time, and I did that for my father, for the safety of the Pingyang Marquisate and the Chu clan. I had no choice!"
"Brother Chu, this is wrong. Confiscating property and exiling the family does not mean executing the entire family. Even if they are helpless, no family has ever severed ties at the scene of the confiscation of property since ancient times." The cheap father-in-law's criticism was good, brilliant, and amazing.
Chu Ci clapped his hands like a seal in his heart, but on the surface he looked like a little white flower. He hid behind Fan Jingrui with an expression of "I'm so scared, I'm being bullied". This is his acting, a little exaggerated!
It made my stepfather-in-law very embarrassed.
Chu Ci pretended not to notice. As long as he didn't feel embarrassed, it was others who were embarrassed. "That's right. No matter how busy this person is, he can stay away from home for 365 days a year. Even if you are blind, how can you not see that your biological daughter only wears the same two sets of clothes as before she went home all year round?"
As expected, it was Chu Xiaxiong who felt embarrassed.
Chu Ci really never thought that one day the lyrics in the skit would appear in reality.
That little face, white with red, red with black, black, green, blue, and purple, is really amazing. Anyway, Chu Ci has never seen such a wonderful face in his life.
Chu Linger saw that the situation was not good, "It hurts! It hurts so much! Daddy, save me!"
The effect was quite good, immediately attracting everyone's attention. Why do you care so much about this dove?
Chu Ci's eyes rolled, and he casually placed the kitchen knife on Chu Ling'er's neck. "Hey, don't come over here. What if I accidentally cut someone..."
Now it's not just Chu Xiaxiong who's anxious. Except for the naughty kid Chu Junjie, all five brothers of the Chu family are anxious.
"Chu Ci, let Ling'er go."
"If you have anything to say, please speak politely. Consider your status and don't implicate the Fan family."
"Sister, even though Ling'er has a thousand faults, she has been filial to you at home for many years. Do you still have a conscience when you treat her like this?"
There are direct orders, threats, and moral kidnapping.
Is this the man who claims to be a genius of the Chu family? Is that all? Has he read so much that he can't even stomach a dog? Does he have any moral values? Chu Ci was furious. "What do you mean by fulfilling my filial duty? I invited her."
"It's all because of your incompetence that you didn't know your daughter was switched. You can argue that you didn't know when she was abused at home. But I clearly told you about the substitution. I was knocked unconscious by Chu Ling'er at the time."
"But what did you do? To protect this dove's reputation, you spread rumors that I shamelessly stole someone else's fiancé."
"Let everyone present here judge these actions. Which one of them can prove that I am your biological child?" Listening to Chu Ci's little mouth disparaging them, everyone in the Chu family almost fainted from anger.
But this wasn't the end. The last accusation was the most fatal: "It's hard to explain! But everyone can clearly see how good you are to Chu Ling'er."
"You went to such great lengths to find an 'orphan' to take home. Why? It couldn't be that the Fan family was wronged, and you were behind this. I was merely a replacement for Chu Ling'er in exile. It's just that you were unlucky and ended up getting into trouble, right?"
