Xiao Lingling was still confused, but she knew that the palace guards could not come here casually, so she nodded.
"Okay, I get it. There's no rush for this matter. Let's discuss it with Godfather and the others after we get back."
Chu Yu nodded, "Well, so there's no need to go back to Cheng Che. He probably won't ask again. As for the Princess's Mansion, if you have any plans, you can tell him about it. It's a good idea to leave this matter to him."
In order to show off in front of you, I must complete it quickly and well!"
"Yeah, that's fine. This way, next time we come to the capital, we won't have to stay in the inn. Although the inn is good in every way, it's also not good at all!"
As she spoke, Xiao Lingling leaned lazily on the chair, looking like she didn't want to move.
Chu Yu pinched her face amusedly and asked, "You look a little fatter?"
Little Bell slapped his hand away unhappily, "No! Grandma said I'm growing and I have to eat more, otherwise I won't grow taller."
"Okay, okay, grandma is right, you should eat more."
After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Lingling's height without any concealment.
This action successfully aroused Xiao Lingling's anger, and she rushed towards him with her arms raised.
Chu Yu played with her for a while, and only gave up when he saw that she was exhausted and gasping for breath.
Little Lingling was so tired that she sat down on the ground, her face as red as the sunset.
After taking a deep breath, Xiao Lingling looked up and asked, "By the way, Brother Yu, you left so late, did anything interesting happen in the capital?"
Speaking of this, Chu Yu became interested. "General Qin being beaten up at his doorstep, is that considered fun?"
When Little Bell heard this, her eyes lit up and she jumped up. "What? What? What's going on?"
Chu Yu smiled and told Xiao Lingling what had happened in the capital over the past month.
The funniest family among them is the Qin family.
In order to raise enough money for the donation, Qin Zheng almost emptied the Qin family's property and sold all the individual courtyards and shops.
Even the shop and jewelry that had been given to Zhou Ya and her son were sold.
This directly caused Zhou Yaqi to have a headache for several days.
Not only that, a small number of Qin family's servants were also dismissed.
Zhou Ya now seems to have returned to the miserable state she was in more than ten years ago, losing her temper at the maid every day.
However, this is not enough, you have to know that it is more than one million taels.
In order to raise as much money as possible, many yards and shops were sold with full of things inside. However, after paying the deposit and signing the contract, people went there to find that there was nothing but an empty house.
Not even a table, chair or bench was left.
He took all those things to a place to sell them overnight and sold them at a low price.
Many of the materials used in those furniture are quite good, and the prices are cheap, so quite a lot of people buy them.
Moreover, Qin Zheng was afraid of being embarrassed, so he went anonymously.
But such things cannot be hidden, and the buyers came to the door immediately after they found out. Among them, a considerable number of buyers were well-known families in Beijing.
So after some investigation, it was soon revealed that Qin Zheng was anonymously selling furniture at a low price.
In an instant, Qin Zheng became the laughing stock of the entire capital.
In the end, her sister couldn't bear it anymore and felt that she had saved her face, so she quickly took out most of her private treasury to make up the difference, which allowed Qin Zheng to barely get enough money.
However, his reputation in the capital was ruined, so after handing over the silver, he immediately claimed to be sick and hid at home for seven or eight days before he dared to go out.
During those days, Chu Yu would stay in the dark every day and watch the family's negative and unhappy expressions, and he felt extremely happy in his heart.
Even Qin Zheng and Zhou Ya, who had always been together, had several big arguments because of this incident.
Qin Ming, who was originally spoiled, was suddenly ridiculed and despised by his former friends. He was so angry that he fought with several children, forcing Qin Zheng to suppress his anger and go to their house to apologize.
There's nothing he can do. He doesn't want to do that, but they are a powerful and well-known family.
He no longer dared to provoke too many enemies, otherwise the Qin family might not survive this disaster.
So, in order to get some peace and quiet for a while, he hit Qin Ming for the first time.
It was just two slaps, but Qin Ming started crying as if his father had died, and even cursed Qin Zheng. He only calmed down after being whipped a few times.
Even so, he was still making a fuss day and night, crying out in pain.
Chu Yu just watched coldly.
Not enough! Not enough!
He was beaten all over with wounds. How many of them have ever experienced that kind of pain?
Now it's just a matter of losing face, which is not a big deal in the end. How can it make up for the humiliation he suffered in the Qin family before?
Not to mention that it also took his mother's life!
So, this account is endless and there will be plenty of time to settle it later.
Xiao Lingling could see the hatred surging on Chu Yu's face, but what made her feel fortunate was that Chu Yu always remained rational. Although his heart was full of resentment, he did not lose his mind because of it.
That's enough.
Xiao Lingdang thought for a moment and changed the subject, asking, "Have you heard about General Chu's case? Didn't Father say he would re-investigate? Has there been any results?"
When talking about his grandfather, a soft look flashed in Chu Yu's eyes and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
"Yes. The slander against Grandpa for corruption has been exposed. The real corrupt officials are others, and several of them have been caught. The Emperor has directly imprisoned them.
But this matter is not that simple. There are people behind the scenes who are behind this, and the emperor is still investigating. But the imperial edict regarding my grandfather's corruption has been posted to clarify the matter.
The emperor even rewarded the three armies and the Chu family army in the name of my grandfather, and promoted my mother's apprentice Xue Zhining as the deputy general of the Chu family army.
All the Chu family troops are now temporarily under her control. This indirectly broke Qin Zheng's fantasy and calculation.
This is really great news.”
Xiao Lingling also seemed very happy. She said that the end of the drought was not without reason. Sure enough, General Chu was cleared of the charges.
Although the final cause of the old general's death has not yet been determined, as long as someone has tried to find out, the truth will eventually come out.
They can afford to wait.
