Chapter 1199: Proportion
When Liu Yiming hurriedly ran out of the hall, he happened to bump into two people standing outside the door. The two men, one of whom was a beautifully dressed woman, and the other a maid, were carefully holding Madame's hand, as if fearing that she would not be able to hold it out if she was too frightened.
Liu Yiming pretended to be surprised, and opened his mouth to call someone, but saw that his wife was half-frowning and shook his head, signaling him not to speak, and went to busy with his own affairs.
When the people were far away, the lady took one last look in the direction of the hall, and walked in the direction of the ancestral hall with the maid.
The maid carefully held her hand, her delicate face showed a little worry, and asked in a low voice, "Madam, why don't we go in and have a look?" Can Childe handle it alone in there? Although she didn't see the confrontation with her own eyes, the maid could imagine the urgency of the situation from the menacing tones of the people.
It's really strange, Mrs. is most worried about her son on weekdays, and treats her as a life's root, and she has to worry about it for a long time if she accidentally bumps and bumps on weekdays, but this time she is standing outside the door and hears something inside, so she doesn't go in?
Madame's eyes were half lowered, and her eyelashes trembled slightly: "He has grown up, and he will have to bear the burden of the entire Chu family in the future, what do I have to look at?" ”
"But if you go in, ma'am, those people may be more restrained."
"Hehe, I didn't see how restrained they were when the master was alive, what's the use of me going in? That's it. ”
She is not afraid that her son will suffer at the hands of these people, this child has always acted steadily, if he hadn't planned a way out a long time ago, he wouldn't have done it easily, and the forbearance in the past few years may have been waiting for this opportunity.
On the way back to the ancestral hall, the maid couldn't help but ask, "Madam, is the will really true?" "
Listening to Gongzi's sworn tone, it seemed that there was indeed such a thing, but she couldn't figure it out, if Chu Mingxuan really had this object in his hand, why didn't he take it out earlier?
Madame smiled but did not speak.
Others don't know the inside story, but she knows it clearly, the old man didn't even have the strength to lift the pen before he died, where would he leave any will, the so-called testament was just something that Chu Mingxuan had written by himself after practicing calligraphy before. But Madame will not dismantle her own child's state.
Just like Chu Mingxuan said just now, no matter what, blood relationship is still very important, how could she make her son ugly because of that little origin?
In the hall, as Liu Yiming brought back the so-called will, everyone had already exploded.
The wills were circulated one after another, for fear of missing a word.
On the main seat, Chu Mingxuan sat upright, and on the surface he didn't seem to be in a hurry or impatient, but in fact, he was quite apprehensive in his heart, and turned his head and asked Liu Yiming in a low voice: "Isn't the old lady outside?" I could hear her footsteps distinctly. ”
"Yes, I saw the old lady when my subordinates went out, and when I came back, I didn't see anyone, and I thought that the old lady had entered the hall, but there was no ......."
When he arrived outside the door, but did not enter the door, Chu Mingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and he understood what she meant.
On the other side, the people had already finished circulating the letters.
A hint of mockery flashed in Chu Mingxuan's eyes, but his face pretended to be respectful: "What do you elders think after reading the will?" ”
No one else had anything to say, only Yang Bo expressed his dissatisfaction and insisted: "This is not your father's handwriting at all!" ”
"Oh?"
After many years of hard practice of calligraphy, Chu Mingxuan is still quite confident in his good handwriting, and said with a smile: "Uncle, what you said is inevitably biased, whether it is your father's handwriting or not, you can't say it by someone like you who has other intentions for the Chu family, and you must be judged by an absolutely fair person." Why don't we go to the yamen to confront each other? If it is Lord Taishou, or the Master of the National Teacher is in the yamen, he may be able to help distinguish one or two, and there is the most handwriting left by his father in the study room on the left and right, whether it is from the same person's hand, and I will know when the time comes. ”
Chu Mingxuan's proposal made Yang Bo's face flush.
At the moment, who doesn't know that Chu Mingxuan has defected to the camp of His Royal Highness the Imperial Daughter, let me ask when he goes to court, those people in the yamen will help him?
Even if the handwriting is not similar, it will be pointed out that the deer is a horse, and it will be said that it came from the same person!
Is there really no way to deal with this wolf-hearted little brute? Uncle Yang is unwilling, he has lived for so many years, calculated for so many years, for the glory and wealth of the second half of his life, he relies on the Chu family, if this matter is clear from the Chu family, how can he get benefits from the Chu family in the future? No, you can't be defeated by this little brute in vain!
As he struggled, a figure appeared in his mind. Trina
That person is none other than the only wife of Old Man Chu, and Chu Mingxuan's biological mother, the two of them were able to achieve good things back then, or was he a matchmaker between his righteous brothers, this kindness, she can't forget it, right?
Since Chu Mingxuan said that those of them who are not related by blood are not qualified to dictate his affairs, then his biological mother must have it, right?
Saying go, Yang Bo stood up suddenly.
This action can startle everyone present, and it is still stricter, as if the person who may be angry at any time is here, why did it suddenly become like this? Unbelievable?
Hearing Uncle Yang sneer, he said with a full sense of anger: "That's it, since you don't want to recognize us uncles, then it's not interesting for us to continue to spend time with you, so let's leave!" Chu Mingxuan, don't blame me for not reminding you, once you do something ungrateful, there will only be one end of betrayal and separation, and it's too late for you to regret it now! ”
Chu Mingxuan smiled slightly: "I am ready to bear all the consequences." ”
Yang Bo snorted again and left the hall with his sleeves brushed. Among a bunch of people, only he is the tallest and the oldest, and everyone is looking at him, and when they see people leaving, they take three steps and do two steps to catch up: "You are old and wait for us!" Where are you going?
As people left the hall, the original position became much more empty.
Liu Yiming was sent out of the door in a fake appearance: "Everyone be careful of your step, don't be tripped by the threshold!" Huh-"
Something was wrong with him!
From the hall to the direction of the main entrance, go straight forward, through the vestibule, but the footsteps of these people did not go forward, but turned a corner, and went to the west, which is the direction of the inner courtyard!
Liu Yiming panicked: "It's bad, it's not good, son, they're going to invite the old lady!" ”
Chu Mingxuan still looked calm, as if he was in the next big game of chess, where all the chess pieces on it would fall, he knew in his heart, when he was angry and walked away from Yang Bo and his party, he guessed that these people would go to see his mother, but he was not afraid, and even hooked the corners of his lips in a good mood.
Liu Yiming was dumbfounded, he was about to go crazy, but he didn't expect Childe to laugh: "Childe, aren't you worried about the old lady?" ”
The old lady is good at everything, but there is only one thing, that is, her ears are soft, when Chu Mingxuan first took over the position of head of the family, some people were afraid that they would have no way to live, so they begged to go to her, she helped, saying that she missed the old feelings, and couldn't bear to see the old man's former brother suffer, not only that, but she also did a lot of things that brought Chu Mingxuan's face down!
That Uncle Yang has always been able to speak well, if Mrs. really let him talk about it, and aimed at the son, how sad the son should be!
After all, that is his only blood relative in this world!
"Why don't we go over and have a look?"
Chu Mingxuan picked up the teacup and blew calmly, then he spoke, and said unhurriedly: "Mother won't help them." Mother had already been here just now, and she had clearly heard the movement in the hall, but she had not entered the door, which was enough to explain her attitude. In some things, my mother still has a clear grasp. ”
One is his own son, and the other is an old horseman who has begged for retribution for decades.
In the ancestral hall of the Chu family.
A wisp of green smoke rose and slowly drifted away with the old lady's movements.
There is only one tablet enshrined in the ancestral hall, after all, the sinner cannot set up a tablet, and the old man Chu had a chance to start over by coincidence, and he will never leave a handle for anyone, so he is the only one in the huge ancestral hall of the Chu family.
Candles are lit in the ancestral hall day and night, and the shadow of the tablet is stretched out by the dim yellow light, and from a distance, it looks a little lonely.
The old lady looked at the black spirit card fixedly, and in a trance, she seemed to see the face of the old man, and her expression was a little trance: "Master, if you are still alive today, you will definitely praise our child for doing things neatly." You have lived most of your life, and you are afraid of the carrion that you have not been able to give up in your old love, and now you are cut by him with a knife, don't you see it, the wonderful expressions on the faces of those people, alas, but I didn't see it either, but I just stood outside and faintly heard their angry voices. When they used the Chu family and your soft-hearted heart to seek benefits, they should not have thought that they would have today, the grievances you suffered before can now be regarded as being recovered by your son. ”
The corners of her dry lips rose slightly, evoking a faint smile: "I know your temper, those people helped you, so you have always remembered it, and I remember it too." Don't worry, I will look at Xuan'er, and I won't make those people too ugly, as long as they don't go too far, don't kick their noses in the face, no one in the Chu family will embarrass them. ”
The tablet can't speak, just like a person will not appear in front of people after death, the old lady only has the share of talking to herself, but she is still very satisfied.
The wind was blowing, and the candles in the ancestral hall flickered, as if the old people were responding to her words.
"Madam, ma'am, the maid just came to report that those people couldn't get any benefits from the son's side, and ran to the inner courtyard to find you, and now they are waiting for you, do you want to go over and have a look?"
