In the study, Chu Mingxuan had just finished reading the account books and was instructing Liu Yiming to do something. The latter furrowed his brows tightly and said with a worried face: "Childe, if such a big incident is made today, those people will definitely not give up." Maybe we've been ambushed on our way, and now I'm afraid to send ......."

Chu Mingxuan didn't care, from the beginning to the present, he never put those people in his eyes: "You just go, if you can't do it, you can go to the Taishou Mansion and ask someone for help." ”

After a pause, he took out another waist card from his waist.

The waist card is made of a whole piece of white jade, the decoration on the head is exquisite, at a glance you know that it comes from everyone's hands, the most important thing is that the waist card has carved into the Chu character, I believe that those people in the Taishou Mansion can understand at a glance.

Liu Yiming took the order.

As soon as he left with his front foot, the old lady's maid Caihuan came to the study and knocked on the door with a worried expression.

Hearing the voice, Chu Mingxuan stood up and straightened his clothes: "It's here." ”

Caihuan never expected that it was Chu Mingxuan who personally came to open the door, and her expression was slightly surprised, but after all, she was a maid who had been serving the old lady for many years, so she quickly adjusted her emotions, and said with a smile on her face: "Childe, Madame, please come over." ”

Chu Mingxuan nodded, he had long expected such a show, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Uncle Yang is gone?"

"Just left, isn't it that as soon as the person left, the lady asked the slave maid to invite you?"

Although he had long expected that things would develop in this direction, Chu Mingxuan was still a little apprehensive when he really experienced it: "What did my mother say?" ”

"Master Yang said a lot of things to Mrs., openly and secretly squeezing Gongzi You are not sensible, let the old lady watch it a lot, and say that she is for the good of the Chu family, and in the end, the old lady really couldn't bear it, so she directly let go of the cruel words and asked him to go back quickly. Childe, didn't you see it, how ugly Master Yang's face was when he left, it was like the bottom of the pot was smeared on his face, which made people can't stand it, obviously he was really mad. ”

Chu Mingxuan could almost imagine that picture, after all, when Yang Bo left the living room, his face didn't look very good.

The only thing that makes him look like him is the appearance of his mother's cruel words.

He asked curiously: "My mother is usually the most gentle and kind, why did she suddenly change her temperament?" Did Uncle Yang say something excessive, so she was so angry. ”

"At that time, Mrs. ......." Caihuan said the matter as it was, and at the end, he concluded for Chu Mingxuan: "Madame is a child, you are a child, naturally it is towards the son, after all, ten fingers are connected to the heart, and that mother doesn't care about the flesh and blood that she was born with in October?" When you see the old lady later, you must remember to speak softly, and don't make the old lady angry. ”

"Mother is very angry this time?"

"What's more, when I called the slave maid to invite you over, the old lady has been cold-faced, the slave and maid have been serving for more than ten years, and it is the first time I have seen this kind of appearance."

"I'll pay more attention, thank you Aunt Caihuan."

The two walked through the backyard, all the way to the old lady's residence, the old lady was sitting in the courtyard, holding a cup of tea in her hand to drink, hearing the footsteps, she didn't even raise her eyelids, just hearing the footsteps, she knew who was coming, and said calmly: "You are finally here." ”

"Mother—"

Chu Mingxuan was about to speak, but he heard the old lady say sharply: "Kneel." ”

Chu Mingxuan knelt on the ground without saying a word, but his waist was straight, obviously not feeling that he had made a mistake today.

Seeing this, the old lady was angry: "You are really capable, you dare to do such a big thing, do you know how miserable the Chu family was back then?" More than 100 members of your clan died in exile, and only the master escaped by chance! You look at the ancestral hall, for so many years, there is only one tablet for the master, you can see how taboo he is at this time, and he is low-key because he doesn't want to be recognized. ”

Chu Mingxuan half-lowered his eyes: "Mother, the National Teacher already knows." ”

The old lady was stunned on the spot, and it took a while to wake up, Chu Mingxuan was able to negotiate terms with Yu Wuwang, it must have understood each other, and now that he can stand here safely, it means that Yu Wuwang has no intention of killing him.

Thinking of this, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief: "What did he say?" ”

"I use all the food hoarded by the Chu family in exchange, and ask the national teacher to wronged my Chu family ordinarily, return my grandfather, and give justice to the hundreds of people in the Chu family."

The old lady trembled, and suddenly stood up from her position: "It turns out that you have such a mind. ”

No wonder Chu Mingxuan was desperate to stand on the side of His Royal Highness the Imperial Maiden, that blame him would rather turn his face with those elders than lower his head, it turned out that he had been thinking about this matter.

Seeing that the old lady's attitude had softened, Chu Mingxuan made persistent efforts and said: "Mother, one of the things that my father regretted the most before his death was that he couldn't overturn the case for those who died unjustly in the Chu family, he had been thinking about this matter all his life, and he never forgot it before he died, and I, as my father's son, should help him fulfill this wish." ”

"It's too risky at this time, if it is undecided today, His Royal Highness the Prince controls the imperial court, and controls most of the country of Meng Liguo, how do you know that it must be His Royal Highness the Emperor who ascended to that position? If we lose, then our Chu family will really be doomed. ”

Chu Mingxuan smiled slightly: "Mother, don't worry, I have already thought about this matter, if there is really that day, I will let the Chu family be dismissed and send my mother to a place where no one can find her, and enjoy her old age in peace." ”

"What about you?"

"The son swears to follow His Highness to the death, no matter what the outcome, the son can bear it."

The old lady's eyes turned red by the way, and she hugged the person in her arms and muttered: "I didn't expect you to be calm for so many years, and you still can't make up your mind in this matter, just like your father." ”

Chu Mingxuan listened to her words, and suddenly remembered something that had plagued him for many years, how did his father go back then?

"Mother, I remember when I left the house to travel outside, my father was fine, and his body was very strong, why did he suddenly fall ill?"

At that time, the Chu family was in danger, and if it weren't for Yang Bo's action to stabilize the situation, I am afraid that it would have been up and down.

This is also the main reason why Chu Mingxuan has tolerated Yang Bo using the reputation of the Chu family to do evil for many years!

Soon after he returned home, his father died, and he had been muttering about old things before he died, and he had not had time to say a few words, he had asked his mother about the reason for his illness, but his mother was vague, only said that he was not in good health and blew the wind, and he fell ill accidentally.

Linked to what the old lady said, he realized that something was wrong.

"Mother, speak quickly."

The old lady half-closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to recall the old years, but in her son's gaze, she still reluctantly agreed: "Your father suddenly fell ill because he hit an evil spirit." ”

Chu Mingxuan made a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate this possibility, in his impression, his father has always been omnipotent, and his psychological endurance is extremely great, he can be said to have seen any wind and waves, how could he suddenly hit an evil spirit and be scared and fall ill? He asked again, and the old lady reluctantly told the reason.

It turned out that not long after Chu Mingxuan left the Chu family, the house was haunted, first when the maids were moving in the courtyard, they bumped into a sneaky man in a white prison uniform and covered in blood for no reason, and then the matter spread ten, ten to hundreds, and reached the ears of the master.

At the beginning, the old man also scoffed, but when he fell asleep at night, he had a nightmare.

The old lady sighed and shook her head: "I don't know what he dreamed about, only that he kept shouting loudly in his sleep, as if he was being chased by evil spirits, and he couldn't wake up." Later, I invited a monk to come and see in the temple, and I woke up after a ritual event. But the body collapsed. ”

Chu Mingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Has there ever been a similar thing in the mansion after my father left?" ”

"I never came out again, everyone said it was because you returned to the mansion and the yang energy was ....."

"Mother, we have been calculated, not long after I left the Chu family, I was calculated, if it wasn't for my clever trick in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to save my life. Two things in one, don't you think it's strange mother? “

The old lady was taken aback, Chu Mingxuan had never said anything about the assassination for so many years: "Someone wants to harm us?" ”

Being able to use the past events of the year to cause his father to fall ill so accurately, and knowing his whereabouts and arranging the killer in advance, shows that the person is very familiar with their family.

Weighing the pros and cons, Chu Mingxuan had already thought of the suspect.

"Mother, I'm going back to investigate, and I'm going to find out who is behind the scenes."

The old lady nodded, and suddenly shook her head again: "No, although this matter is important, after all, it was already many years ago, you don't need to investigate it specifically, at least not now, you just need to do another thing." If your father knew that this had happened, he would probably have to laugh from ear to ear. ”

The old lady's expression was very solemn when she said this, so that Chu Mingxuan had to think that something big had happened, and his brows furrowed slightly: "What should I do first?" Mother, you say. ”

"Hehe, naturally I want to add a daughter-in-law to our family! You're not too young, and you're still alone, have you thought about the girls you told you last time? Are you satisfied? Xuan'er, you are the only seedling in the family, and you can toss other things around, I can care about anything, but this one can't do it. If you get married soon, I can rest easy. “

Chu Mingxuan said shyly: "Mother, let's talk about this later." ”

"No, you were so perfunctory to me last time, and you didn't give an answer for a few days!"
