Chu Qianchen just found it funny, with a hint of sarcasm in his description, "Is Aunt Jiang really my biological mother?"

As early as in her previous life, she understood one thing: not everyone is qualified to be a parent.

Besides, she had already paid off the debt she owed to the Chu family in her previous life.

"..." Aunt Jiang's face was as pale as a whitewashed wall.

Two lines of crystal tears rolled down her cheeks, drop by drop, like pearls that had broken off the string, and her eyes were blurred with tears.

Even when she was crying, she was still so beautiful, and her eyes that seemed to want to say something but could not seemed to contain infinite grievances and unspeakable secrets.

It was as if... I had practiced this in front of the mirror hundreds or even thousands of times.

Chu Qianchen stared deeply at Aunt Jiang's face, without a trace of emotion on his face, not even the tips of his eyebrows moved. Seeing this, many people around him were deeply moved and felt that this Princess Chen was truly hard-hearted.

On the contrary, Jingzhao Yin was very calm and not surprised.

As the saying goes, every family has its own problems. His official position sounds good, but in fact he is only responsible for trivial matters on weekdays. Every family has some trivial matters such as food, rice, oil and salt. The richer the family, the more ridiculous it is... It's just that many things do not reach the Jingzhao Prefecture.

For example, every family has had a concubine die.

Most of the concubines' indentures were in the hands of the master's family, so if they died, it would be in vain. At most, they would have to pay a sum of money and the matter would be over. However, there were also cases where things got out of hand. At the beginning of the year, a man sued the second son of the mighty general's mansion for murdering his sister. His sister was a concubine of the general's mansion, but she was just an honest citizen...

Although Jingzhao Yin looked solemn, he was actually in a state of panic.

The lady frowned, thinking that Chu Qianchen was too persistent, even daring to say such words as not recognizing her biological mother in public, which was simply ridiculous! But Gu Jue let her do whatever she wanted, and it was unclear whether he really wanted to protect her or deliberately embarrass the Marquisate...

Thinking of this, the lady's heart sank even more.

No matter what Gu Jue's purpose is, this matter must be stopped at the Marquis' Mansion. Otherwise, it will only damage the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion and have nothing to do with Prince Chen! If the Marquis' Mansion loses face, Concubine Chu and the Second Prince in the palace will also be implicated.

The lady gritted her teeth fiercely, hardened her heart, and scolded Chu Lingxiao: "Rebellious son, you favor your concubine and ignore your wife. Your father is gone, and today I will teach you a lesson for him."

The lady's heart ached, but she could only harden her heart and say, "According to family rules, ten strokes of the cane..."

She was about to say ten strokes of the cane, but when she saw Gu Jue's lips curled up into an arc that seemed like a smile, her heart suddenly trembled, and she quickly changed her words: "Twenty... No, thirty strokes!"

This is always okay!!

The old lady's heart ached even more. No matter how much she blamed Chu Lingxiao for being bewitched by the vixen Jiang Minshan, Chu Lingxiao was still her son, a piece of flesh and blood that fell from her belly.

The child is hurt, and the mother is heartbroken.

"Mother!" Chu Lingxiao blurted out in disbelief, earning a cold, warning look from the lady.

When facing other people, the lady could only smile apologetically, turned around and apologized to Jingzhao Yin again, "I am ashamed that the family affairs of the Marquis' Mansion have alarmed Lord Wang, and Lord Wang has been embarrassed."

"I cannot entertain Lord Wang well today. I will go to Lord Wang's house to apologize another day."

The lady was very polite and spoke very nicely.

Jingzhao Yin responded perfunctorily with two “No, no”s and subconsciously looked at Gu Jue’s expression.

In fact, he still didn't know what was going on. Anyway, the King of Chen was the boss here, so whatever the King of Chen said was the truth. Otherwise, even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't.

Seeing that Gu Jue was silent, Jingzhao Yin breathed a sigh of relief, stood with his hands behind his back, and warned with a stern face: "Madam Chu, there is a saying that if you can't clean up your own house, you can clean up the whole world. You must discipline your son well."

He didn't mention any names, but it was clear from his words that Chu Lingxiao's family was in turmoil and he favored his concubine over his wife.

Madam: “…”

Chu Lingxiao: “…”

Then, Jingzhao Yin looked at Gu Jue, bowed, and showed another expression, respectful and earnest.

He wanted to ask this ancestor if he could leave, but he heard Gu Jue say, "Where are the family rules?"

These three words were naturally not addressed to the Jingzhao Yin, and the lady's face instantly darkened.

The lady took a deep breath and ordered Wang Ma: "Hurry up and serve me according to the family rules!"

This sentence made Chu Lingxiao, Aunt Jiang and Liu look extremely ugly.

Gu Jue was going to punish them in front of Jingzhao Yin and all the Chu clan members today. How could they live in shame in the future? Jingzhao Yin did not dare to say goodbye, and could only watch as a few burly women brought three thick boards that were three fingers wide, and watched Chu Lingxiao, Aunt Jiang, and Liu being forced to lie on the bench, and watched as the three boards hit their buttocks...

"one two three……"

The old women reported the numbers diligently, and their subordinates did not dare to be lazy or cheat at all.

The Prince of Chen is still watching here. To put it bluntly, if the Prince of Chen is not satisfied and asks the yamen runners from Jingzhao Prefecture to beat you again, it will only cause more trouble!

Jingzhao Yin looked calm, but he was actually sighing in his heart. He thought that Prince Chen was indeed arrogant. It was unreasonable for a son-in-law to beat up his father-in-law when he returned home.

Cruel! Really cruel! He couldn't help but glance at Chu Qianchen beside Gu Jue, and was surprised to find that she was calm and composed from beginning to end.

Even though Chu Lingxiao, Aunt Jiang and the other two screamed in the courtyard, Chu Qianchen remained as still as a mountain, forming a sharp contrast with the other Chu family members in the theater.

Liu was punished the lightest. When the old woman counted to "ten", the wooden board was immediately taken away.

"mother!"

Chu Qianling and other young ladies from the second house rushed towards Liu and helped the sweaty Liu up. Someone shouted, "Why hasn't the doctor come yet?"

Chu Qianling glared at Chu Qianchen with resentment. She was angry but didn't dare to say anything.

After all, Chu Qianchen is now like a mad dog that bites everyone she sees. When she gets mad, she even beats her own parents, and beats them even more fiercely! Moreover, the Perfect Cream is still in Chu Qianchen's hands. This time, the incident was so ugly that Chu Qianchen would definitely be even more unwilling to hand over the Perfect Cream...

Then my face...

Chu Qianling was in a state of confusion, and for a moment she didn't know whether she felt more sorry for Liu or for herself.

Screams and groans were still being heard in the lobby on the first floor of the theater. The other two maids did not dare to listen for a moment and continued to beat Chu Lingxiao and Aunt Jiang with sticks.

Count from eleven to thirty.

By the time she was beaten with the thirty boards, Aunt Jiang's voice had become hoarse from shouting, her hair was disheveled, her hairpins were crooked, and she looked in a miserable state.

But even so, she still exudes a pitiful and charming charm, like a little white flower in the wind and rain.

Chu Lingxiao was also beaten badly, his buttocks were burning, and his body collapsed on the bench.

"My lord." The two servants hurried to support him, but just the slightest movement hurt his wound, causing him to grimace in pain.

Jingzhao Yin heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he could leave now. He looked at Gu Jue and asked, "Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Gu Jue waved his hand, signaling him to go.

Jingzhao Yin felt relieved, wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve, and then hurriedly said goodbye.

He only stayed in the mansion for less than an incense stick of time, but he was already starting to worry.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Everyone knows that the Emperor is afraid of Prince Chen. I'm afraid that when Prince Chen accompanies the princess back home today, there will probably be a lot of Jinyiwei watching outside the Marquis's mansion.

It is estimated that when he returns to Jingzhao Prefecture, the emperor's people will come to his door.

Jingzhao Yin left with a heavy heart, feeling a bit like "If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet."

The atmosphere in the theater became colder and more rigid.

The other people who stayed in the theater were sweating profusely, especially the people from the Marquis's Mansion. Although the sticks did not hit them, they all felt as if the sticks were aimed at them, as if the Prince of Chen was demonstrating against them.

Everyone was in a state of panic, except Shen, who remained calm and understood what was going on.

She knew that Gu Jue had let the matter go lightly by allowing the Marquis' Mansion to handle it themselves instead of taking it to court.

I'm afraid the reason why he was willing to take this half step back was also for Chu Qianchen's consideration. Aunt Jiang is Chu Qianchen's biological mother. If this matter gets out, it will hurt Chu Qianchen's face.

Some people can be shameless, have no shame, and have no bottom line, but they can never hurt themselves for these scum who are not worthy of being human.

Not worthy.

Today, Prince Chen taught Chu Lingxiao a bloody lesson, letting him know that even though he is Chu Qianchen's father, it does not mean he can do whatever he wants to his daughter.

Chu Qianchen is now a member of Prince Chen's Mansion. Prince Chen will protect her under his wings now and in the future.

Shen didn't want to look at Chu Lingxiao at all. She grabbed Chu Qianchen's hand and held it tightly, feeling happy for her.

Chu Qianhuang, who was standing aside, lowered her eyes and looked at their clasped hands, her eyelashes trembling.

"Mother, let me help you go back and rest." Chu Qianchen said, holding her arm.

Shen hesitated for a moment, then followed Chu Qianchen's movements and stood up.

"Mom, be careful." Chu Qianhuang also went over to support Shen, but Shen stretched out her hand, seemingly to touch the pendant on her waist, but in fact she was avoiding Chu Qianhuang's hand.

Shen's rejection was not obvious, and no one else around noticed it, but Chu Qianchen saw it and looked towards Chu Qianhuang.

Chu Qianhuang's pupils were dark, like a pool of dark stagnant water without any light at all.

The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be a faint spark when their eyes met.

Chu Qianchen helped Shen out of the theater, and Chu Qianhuang and Chu Yunmu followed.

The four of them returned to the main courtyard, and Chu Qianchen helped Shen go to the inner room.

After Shen sat down beside the couch, she said, "Sister Chen, you should go back."

When she said "go back", she meant that Chu Qianchen should go back to Prince Chen's Mansion, and he should not come to this Marquis' Mansion again in the future.

Shen raised her hand and gently stroked Chu Qianchen's cheek, "You are a married woman, so you should put Prince Chen's Mansion first."

As Chu Yunmu listened, he began to kick the ground. He felt aggrieved that his second sister had been taken away from him again. But when he saw the scimitar that the maid held for him, he perked up again.

He can visit his second sister and brother-in-law often, and there is also a hero who can fly over eaves and walls!

Chu Qianchen looked at Shen and Chu Qianhuang, and responded obediently: "Mother, I'm leaving first."

She shook Shen's hand again, her expression gentle and peaceful, with a maturity and detachment beyond her age, as if she knew all the secrets.

Chu Qianhuang's fingertips began to pinch her fingertips subconsciously. She didn't dare to look at Shen, with a hint of panic in her eyes. She suggested: "Second sister, let me see you off."

"No need, I know the way." Chu Qianchen received it coldly and walked out of the inner room. In the end, Chu Yunmu followed him and shouted, "Second sister, I'll take you there."

The side door to the inner room closed behind her.

Chu Qianchen stopped, and Chu Yunmu also stopped and looked up at her.

Chu Qianchen took out a sachet from his sleeve and handed it to Nanny Chen in the back, "Nanny Chen, hang this on the head of mother's bed."

Nanny Chen's eyes were filled with doubt and uncertainty. She felt that Chu Qianchen seemed to know something. She took the sachet and asked softly, "Madam, are you okay?"

Chu Qianchen looked back at the inner room and said, "It's okay."

The main plot of this book has never been the mystery of the author's life experience, and the structure of this book is not so petty.

I have always arranged and designed the plot according to the main line. I don't agree with saying that "the plot has no progress" just because I didn't write what you wanted to see.

Have a nice weekend~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
