Chapter 298: The side branch can no longer be sidelined

【Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.

Chu Xu's smiling face immediately closed.

"Okay!" He nodded hurriedly and obediently followed Chai Dong.

When the Chunzhi brothers and sisters saw this, they were all inexplicable. "Sister, brother-in-law, what did he mean by what he said to Master Chu? Chu Gongzi's surname is Chu, everyone knows about this, what is there not to tell people? ”

"Well, you're going to have to wait for him to come out and ask them." Chunzhi spread her hands, she was still wondering, why did Chai Dong suddenly come to this scene?

But...... Chu surname...... Clear!

A flash of inspiration flashed in Chunzhi's mind, and she suddenly thought of one thing - isn't Chai Dong's mother surnamed Chu?

In this way, is it that Chai Dong and his mother have something to do with Chu Xu?

Then, she thought of the strange attitude that Chu Xu and even the county lady had towards them before...... If that's the case, then what she had always thought was a little weird would be explained.

But said Chai Dong, he took Chu Xu into the study, immediately slammed the door shut, and then turned around and looked at him coldly.

Chu Xu still had a smile on his face: "Chai Jieyuan, what do you mean when you called me over, but you didn't speak, just looking at me like this?" Is it bigger than either of us? ”

"I don't think I need to say anything more now. I called you here to wait for you to be honest with yourself. Chai Dong said lightly.

"Honestly? Chai Jieyuan, what do you mean by this, I really don't understand! Chu Xu plucked out his ears, looking confused and helpless.

The corners of Chai Dong's lips tugged slightly. "It's already this time, do you think it's useful for you to pretend to be stupid again? You must know what I experienced when I went to the capital. ”

Chu Xu still just smirked and didn't speak.

Chai Dong's eyes darkened, but after all, he still said a few more words. "My biological mother's surname is Chu, you are also surnamed Chu, and the county grandfather is surnamed Chu. Moreover, when the county magistrate's wife came over, she specially called my lady over and said some specious things to her. Then, you took the initiative to help my family build a house, and you also wanted to start a spring with us - named after my lady alone! Don't say that you just want to do good things on a whim, people like you can't do good things for no reason! ”

"Okay!" Chu Xu spread his hands, "You should have noticed something wrong a long time ago, right?" But it's hard for you to hold back until now. ”

As he spoke, he let out a low sigh. "Actually, it's pretty much the same as you guessed. My family does have some connection to your mother's maiden family—no, to be exact, our family has always been attached to theirs. Your mother is a descendant of the Guangling Chu clan, and her identity is indescribably expensive. When your father went to Beijing to take the exam, he was recommended to meet her father, who was your grandfather. Because he is outstanding in learning, he was shocked by your grandfather. At that time, your mother was also quietly hiding behind the screen to peep, and she fell in love with your father at a glance. So, your grandfather made the decision and married your mother to him, and after the two got married, they were Qin Se and Ming, and they loved each other. Your father was the only woman in your mother's life, and he never looked at any other woman. At that time, many women in the capital were very envious of your mother. ”

"And we ......," Chu Xu smiled, "My county lord and uncle are already side branches of the Chu family, and they are the kind of side branches that are not looked at by the subordinates in the branch every time they go to the Chu family to pay respects, you can know how far away they have been." Because we don't have much to offer here, and we don't have a few useful people, they don't care much. But it is precisely because of this that when your father happened, the entire Chu family was implicated, but our branch was spared. ”

When Chai Dong heard this, his eyes immediately darkened.

"What else?" He asked in a deep voice.

"And what? Oh, in terms of seniority, you can say that it is our grandfather's generation, that is, the uncle of the county grandfather. According to the generation, we are going to call you uncle and grandfather. Chu Xu said reluctantly.

Chai Dong twisted his eyebrows again. "You know that's not what I'm going to know. I want to know, what kind of person is my father? Where is my father's ancestral home? Does he still have relatives in his hometown? What about my mother? Has her mother's family all been destroyed? ”

Chu Xu's expression suddenly became extremely serious. "Your father's mother's character, haven't you already inquired about it in the capital, why bother looking for trouble now? As for his ancestral hometown, you don't need to inquire, because as early as after his incident, the Chai clan had already announced that he would be expelled from the clan, and from now on he would no longer be a member of the Chai clan in Longxi. As for your mother's family, they actually cut ties with your father when he took refuge with the Seven Princes and started to do evil. Later, when your father had an accident, they also took advantage of the chaos to fall into the well. Originally, they wanted to show some sincerity to the new emperor, so that the new emperor would let them go. But who knows that the new emperor has suffered too much under him in those years, and he hates him to the core. But your family is thin, and your mother committed suicide with your brothers and sisters early, and your father alone is not enough to relieve his anger. Therefore, he still didn't let go of the Chu family, but just left them with a whole corpse on the whole family. ”

With that, he let out a low sigh again. However, when they talked about it to the outside world, they still claimed that the Chu family had been in the same league with the ministers, and now they had woken up and felt that they had no face to face the world, so they decided to do it themselves. When the new emperor heard about it, he was sad for a long time. ”

Since it was self-determination, it was their own volition, and the emperor completely dissociated himself. So the emperor can pretend to lament a few words and say a few words of condolence, and then naturally there will be sycophants to tell him that things have nothing to do with him, everything is caused by the Chu family! Then, he was able to put the matter aside with peace of mind.

"It's not a good thing." The corners of Chai Dong's mouth lifted and he muttered to himself.

Chu Xu sighed again.

"Actually, we really didn't know that the Wang family had quietly brought you back from the capital. We all thought that you were carried by the new emperor to continue to vent our dissatisfaction with your father, and we thought that your whole family was dead. If we hadn't met Wang Zongping later and learned about the existence of you and your mother from him, we wouldn't have thought much about it. ”

"So, all the things you did before were testing us." Chai Dong said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Chu Xu nodded, "This Wang is not your mother's maid, at least my aunt didn't see her when she went to see your mother. But Auntie always knew that your mother had taken her in. Moreover, not only the Wang family, but your mother has helped many families who have been killed by your father in private in order to alleviate your father's sins. It's just that in the end, when something happened to your family, those people either watched coldly or fell into the ground, and only the Wang family stepped forward and rescued you, and raised you to such a big age. ”

He smiled faintly as he spoke. "Of course, with what your father did to their family in the first place, you really don't have the right to let others repay their grievances with virtue. Therefore, when we first knew that there was a person surnamed Chai in Wangjia Village, we were suspicious. My uncle called me over and discussed those things with me, to test your true ability—your father was born as a poor student, and he became the most relied on adviser under the Seven Princes, and his natural wisdom played a great role here. If you were his own son, you wouldn't be stupid. So, first I came to the temptation, and then my aunt came back later. When the aunt is confirmed, then the matter will be completely confirmed.

"But you didn't mention a word to me." Chai Dong's voice was cold.

"What do you mention it for? We mentioned it, will you believe it? Chu Xu only looked at him fixedly, "If we tell you that your father is a big traitor, he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, any good person or bad person, as long as he gets in his way, he will kick it all away, without mercy, do you believe it?" You're going to pounce on me and fight me, aren't you? ”

Chai Dong's eyelashes slowly drooped. "You're right."

"So!" Chu Xu walked over slowly and patted him on the shoulder, "Take a trip to the capital, you can listen to the people who experienced it back then tell you the truth, this is the best way." Now, now that you know, let's stay in Sanjiang Province from now on! With your ingenuity and our escort, you're sure to be able to do well here. ”

Why do these people always let him stay in Sanjiang Province honestly? Could it be that he couldn't go anywhere but this place?

Chai Dong's eyes darkened, and he pushed Chu Xu's hand away. "I don't!" For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
