Back at the Li residence, Zhuzhu said to Luo Xin, "Send two people to keep an eye on them secretly. If they obediently leave the capital, follow them and see where they go."
"If they live in the capital, keep an eye on them and see what they're up to." These people are so shameless, Zhuzhu absolutely doesn't believe they'll back down so easily.
The next day, Losin reported to Zhuzhu that the group of people had gone to stay at the inn.
Zhu Zhu told him to keep watching, and then started doing her own thing.
Three days later, Chengcheng accompanied her to eat hot pot at noon. This restaurant was opened by the eldest brother of the Xu family. Their Tian Shun Zhai opened directly in Beijing three years ago and the business is very good. Li Mai also has shares here. When she is in Beijing, she will also go to Tian Shun Zhai to take a look.
Zhuzhu and Chengcheng were eating when Luoxin came in with a bad expression and reported that the Chen family members had gone to the Yu residence, knelt in front of the gate, and cried to the onlookers, saying that their young lady had abandoned her family for wealth and status and did not care about the lives of her relatives.
Upon hearing this, Zhuzhu's face immediately froze. These people were truly shameless.
Chengcheng stood up instantly. "Let's go back and take a look."
Zhuzhu nodded, and the two of them returned to the Yu residence in a carriage.
At this time, a large crowd had gathered in front of the Yu family mansion. The Yu family had also reported the incident to the authorities, and the officials were also there. They wanted to arrest Chen Jun and the others and take them to the government office. The men clung to the big tree in front of the mansion and refused to let go, saying that if the Yu family did not stand up for them, they would die in front of the Yu family mansion.
Just as they were having a good time, Zhuzhu and Chengcheng returned.
Upon seeing Zhuzhu arrive, the young members of the Chen family pointed at her and shouted, "We see her! It's her! She's a heartless wretch who doesn't recognize her own family. For wealth and status, she's willing to acknowledge someone else as her father!"
Zhuzhu was amused by his words and walked towards him step by step. The man was so frightened that he tried to back away, but suddenly found that he could not move.
People around were pointing and whispering about Zhuzhu.
When Chengcheng saw the yamen chief, she went over to greet him; they were all acquaintances.
He explained to them where these people came from.
Zhuzhu then shouted, "Your so-called 'not acknowledging kinship' means that I don't want to be used by you anymore, so you don't acknowledge kinship? What face do you have to come to me to acknowledge my ancestors?"
"Seventeen years ago, an accident happened at the factory where my parents worked, and my parents died. I was just one year old at the time. My biological father was from Chenjia Village. Unfortunately, my parents died early. My uncle, who was the clan chief, ignored him. In order to survive, he went to work at a factory in the mountains, where he met my mother, got married, and then I was born."
"When they found out my father had an accident, he and his clan chief went to the factory and took away the 100 taels of silver meant as compensation for my parents' deaths. They abandoned me and called me a bastard, not a descendant of the Chen family. They said that my father was still single according to the family genealogy, and my mother was not listed in the genealogy because she had never returned to the village after being with my father. I also had no name in the genealogy, so they said they did not recognize me."
“When I was one year old, I was innocent and helpless. It was Mr. Zhou, who worked at the same factory, who took pity on me and adopted me. He was also injured in that incident, but he resolutely took me home and registered me in the household register. That’s how I got the name Zhou Zhenzhu.”
"What, now that you see my parents raised me, you want to acknowledge me? You want to get rich off me? I say, aren't you all too arrogant and too prone to daydreaming?"
Yu Ze and Nan Ling stood beside Zhu Zhu at this moment. Looking at the Chen family members opposite them, Nan Ling said coldly, "You're not stupid, you know how to make a scene in front of my Yu family? Unfortunately, you'll be disappointed. The Yu family has known about Zhu Zhu's situation from the very beginning. What we care about is the child, not her background. Your goal is probably going to fail."
“Lord Lu, take him away. People like this who come to cause trouble and are so heartless should be punished by law,” Yu Ze said at this moment.
"Yes, Patriarch Yu, we'll summon you again when we need your cooperation." Lu Ya Tou nodded to Cheng Cheng and went to arrest the Chen family members.
Those people shouted loudly, "Murder! The government is going to kill people! The Yu family is going to kill people!"
Seeing how pathetic they were, Zhuzhu was speechless. With a wave of her hand, all six of them were rendered speechless and powerless. They were immediately grabbed and tied up by the constables.
Zhu Zhu stopped, and they were finally freed from the feeling of being restrained. They stared at Zhu Zhu as if they had seen a ghost.
“When you came to me that day, I told you that if you obediently went back to your normal lives, I wouldn’t do anything to you. But you actually tried to ruin my reputation and my marriage. Chen family, I will make you regret this.” After Zhuzhu finished speaking, she turned around and met Chengcheng’s bright eyes.
Zhuzhu just mentioned her marriage, so does that mean she has tacitly approved of their relationship?
Suddenly overjoyed, he stood beside Zhuzhu, puffed out his chest, and said, "Zhuzhu, our whole family will protect you."
Nanling chuckled as she watched the two exchange glances, then beckoned to the steward and servants to disperse the onlookers.
The family returned to the Yu residence. Zhuzhu looked embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Aunt Nan, Uncle Yu, I didn't know they would dare to come to the Yu family to cause trouble."
Yu Ze nodded. "They're not stupid. They found out about you and Chengcheng and came to make trouble. They really want to ruin your reputation."
“I know I won’t let them get away with this,” Zhu Zhu said coldly.
That night, after returning to the mansion, Zhuzhu and Luoxin disappeared from the Li residence.
They returned an hour later, and the two went to rest as if nothing had happened.
But the villagers in a remote mountain village were unaware that from tonight onwards, they would be unable to leave the village for more than two miles. When they reached two miles, they would feel as if an invisible barrier was blocking their way.
It wasn't until a year later, when the six people who had gone to the capital to find Zhuzhu returned to the village, that they learned what had happened. When they tried to leave again, they found they could no longer get out.
From then on, no one could enter Chenjia Village, and the people of Chenjia Village were unable to leave for generations. It wasn't until a hundred years later that a cultivation master passed by and discovered that the village was sealed by a metal-element cultivator, and then he broke the seal.
However, because the village had been isolated from the outside world for a hundred years, news was scarce, and the population had dwindled. Some of the clansmen, unable to find wives, reluctantly intermarried with other clansmen, and their offspring were all mentally challenged. Only then did the elders of the Chen family realize what kind of people they had offended, but it was too late, and the Chen family had withered away.
Those who did bad things back then are no longer alive.
One day, after discovering they could leave, several of Chen's descendants happily took their few remaining family members and left that awful place, never to return.
The Chen family thus fell into decline!
