Chapter 44: Punishment of the Heart

readx;

The old lady appeared, but things did not take a huge turn as everyone imagined, the old lady did not forcefully press Chu Yuan to retract the decision just made, and did not even express any objection, not only that, but also personally erased Chu Nan's name from the family tree.

Chu Yuan looked at Chu Nan's back, and was a little stunned for a while, this son has been different since he was a child, he is extraordinarily arrogant and self-reliant, and he rarely needs guidance or help from others in everything, and when the people of the Chu family slowly take such ideas as a habit, Chu Nan will be inadvertently ignored.

Just like a few years ago, Chu Nan suddenly said goodbye without saying goodbye and disappeared, but the Chu family only said hello to the government and put it aside............ That kid has been very self-reliant since he was a child, even if he runs away from home, he must not need everyone to worry, right?

Chu Yuan suddenly found that he had been a father for nearly twenty years, but he had barely fulfilled his duties as a father, and seeing that Chu Nan was about to leave the Chu family forever, his heart suddenly softened a lot, and the ghost made a god stop Chu Nan and said, "By the way, your mother ............."

Chu Nanzheng was comforting Yangmei, and when he heard Chu Yuan speak, he subconsciously turned his head, and saw that Chu Yuan seemed to be talking to himself, and said suspiciously: "What did you say?"

Chu Yuan noticed his gaffe and the strange gaze of Chu and the old lady, put down his hand a little weakly, sighed and whispered, "It's nothing, you take care of yourself." ”

Chu Nan shook his head and didn't take it to heart, in this situation, even if he was mentally prepared, the feeling in his heart was still complicated and indescribable, and he even thought that Chu Yuan would say some words in his heart and his future plans, telling him that even if he was expelled from the Chu family, he would not do anything to endanger the Chu family, presumably Chu Yuan was in the same mood, right?

Putting aside the chaotic and complicated thoughts in his heart, Chu Nan hugged Guan He all the way and took Guan He and Linglong out of the gate of the Chu family.

Outside the gate, Zhao Jiu, the old butler of the Chu Mansion, moved to the body that looked even more bloated and fat in cotton clothes, looked at Chu Nan with a complicated expression, and said softly: "Young master, get on the carriage and horses, it's freezing outside............ Either way, I'm going to give you a ride. ”

Chu Nan held Guan He in his arms, stood on the stone steps and looked at the carriage of the Chu Mansion in front of the door, shook his head and walked straight into the distance, and said to Zhao Jiu, who was anxiously catching up: "I am no longer the young master of the Chu family, if I take the carriage of the Chu family again, it will inevitably be a little nondescript, since it doesn't matter anymore, some things and some principles still have to be adhered to." Here, it's not a short walk from Hibiscus Street. ”

Zhao Jiu persuaded a few more words, and seeing that Chu Nan still insisted, he could only helplessly watch a few people walk away in the cold wind.

Yang Mei was a little thinly dressed, wrapped in clothes and asked softly: "Why don't you let Jiu Bo send it in a carriage?" We don't have anything yet, Guan He's sister has just recovered from a serious illness, and she will be afraid of being blown by the cold wind...... I'm afraid...... The condition will come and go. ”

Chu Nan chuckled and looked down at Guan He, and said with a smile: "The more this is the case, the more you can't send it." Even if the Chu family really sends it, we have a reason to sit, but others will not understand it this way, many people may think that even if I leave the Chu family, I will still be disconnected from the Chu family, and the so-called expulsion of the Chu family is just a perfunctory performance............ If that's the case, it's not good for the Chu family or for me. ”

Yang Mei looked at both sides of the street, and sure enough, she saw that some of the big families in the Zhumen on Green Willow Lane were looking at each other, and some were pointing and talking about something................................................................................................................................................ The Chu family, the small courtyard where Chu Nan lived, although Chu Nan had already left, and the matter was over, the old lady of the Chu family was still there, and her expression was cold, looking straight at Chu Yuan, so that the people in the courtyard did not dare to come out.

Chu Yuan knew that the old lady was angry in her heart, and explained stubbornly: "Mother, it's not that the child is ruthless, it's the situation that forces me, and I have no choice but to do it. The Chu family is powerful, but because of this, the whole body is moved, there are some things that the Chu family has to do, and there are some requirements that the Chu family cannot refuse. ”

The old lady of the Chu family has lived a lifetime, has a wide range of knowledge, knows how huge the power of the Chu family is, and also knows that there are not many forces that can be qualified to make the Chu family unable to refuse the request, and the first to bear the brunt is naturally His Majesty the Great Liang, which is why the old lady did not open her mouth to leave Chu Nan today.

In some aspects, the old lady of the Chu family and Chu Yuan, the contemporary head of the family, have a lot in common.

The old lady sighed slightly, and said slowly: "I don't care what kind of hardships you have, what difficulties you have, Nan'er is still my grandson, I don't care about the property of the Chu family in the capital, and I can only leave the old house in Jingzhou to Nan'er and Yue'er." ”

The Chu family couldn't help but exclaim, although most of the Chu family's industries and most of the connections are gathered in the capital, but Jingzhou is a state, and the Chu family is the absolute controller in Jingzhou, even if it can't get much benefit, at least in the hands is a hole card that no one can fear, and it is the most secure back road, which is the strong foundation of the Chu family.

Seeing that Chu Nan had been expelled from the Chu family, and Chu An had one less big enemy, the old lady actually wanted to hand over the old mansion to outsiders, which really made the Chu family, who had already regarded the Chu family as her son's bag, a little unbearable.

Chu An saw that his mother's face was a little ugly, how could he not know his mother's thoughts, and when he saw the old lady turning her head to look over here, she quickly pulled her mother's sleeve, shook her head with a bitter face, and signaled her mother to stop talking nonsense.

The old lady looked at Chu Shi and asked lightly, "What, do you have something to say?"

Chu Shi patted Chu An away, and was a little dissatisfied in his heart, old lady, I'm fighting for something for you............ Although he has always been jealous of the old lady, today is an exception, and he said cautiously: "Old ancestor, although Chu Nan is still surnamed Chu, he has nothing to do with the Chu family, how can he hand over the foundation of the Chu family to outsiders............?"

The old lady of the Chu family nodded and chuckled, "What do you mean is that Chu Nan is already an outsider, and Yue'er will also be an outsider after she gets married, and she has nothing to do with the Chu family?"

The Chu family could naturally hear the anger in the old lady's words, and he didn't have the courage to really fight with the old lady, so he muttered in a somewhat unconvinced whisper: "That's the way it was, Chu Nan has been expelled from the Chu family, and it is really a bit unruly to let him inherit the old mansion of the Chu family." As for Yue'er, the water spilled by the daughter who got married............ How can you still meddle in your mother's affairs?"

After listening to the words of the Chu family, the old lady of the Chu family sneered again and again, and muttered to herself: "The water spilled by the married daughter?"

After saying it a few times, the old lady pointed at the Chu clan and shouted: "The water spilled by the married daughter?, then you tell me, what are you doing here to find Nan'er today?!"

Seeing that the old lady was really angry, Chu Shi was a little confused, and said at a loss: "I...... I...... I didn't do anything ............."

The old lady turned her head to look at Chu An, who was standing on the side, and said coldly: "Chu An, you tell me, what did your mother come here to do just now?

Chu An's scalp was numb, and he swallowed with some difficulty and said, "Just now...... Mother is here to give...... Seeking medical treatment for a seriously ill grandmother...... Fifth brother, he seems to have some tricks............"

The old lady waved her hand to interrupt Chu An's words, looked at the Chu family meaningfully, and sneered: "The water spilled by the married daughter? In this case, you are also an outsider to the Guo family now, why do you want to meddle in the affairs of the Guo family? I heard that you threatened Nan'er just now, if he doesn't cure the Duchess of Yasukuni, you will make him unable to live in the Chu family?"

Chu finally panicked, he really didn't expect that he was just arguing a few words just now, but the old lady grabbed the loophole and pulled back fiercely, and explained in a trembling voice: "I didn't ...... I just wanted to ask him to heal my mother............"

The old lady shook her head, no longer paying attention to her daughter-in-law, who was poor in reasoning, pointed the finger at Chu Yuan, picked up her cane and slapped it at Chu Yuan's face, and shouted angrily: "This is the Chu family that was handed over to you to take care of? Look at what has become now, the head of the Chu family actually threatens the Chu family's own people for outsiders, and cares more about the affairs of the Guo family than the affairs of the Chu family! Hmph, the self-cultivation Qi family is in the world, how do you say what you are doing? Do you have the face to say?"

Chu Yuan watched the crutches come over but didn't dare to dodge, he took it hard, only felt a burning pain on his forehead, and lowered his head and said, "The child has been entrusted by his mother, and he deserves death...... The child knows that he is wrong, please punish the mother......"

The old lady's face swelled with a strange flush, and it took a long time to breathe down, and she said slowly: "I don't care how many things you have left for the Chu family when you are outside for the big beam and the world, just look at the Chu family now, the disintegration is already in front of you, but you don't know it yet." The Chu family fell into your hands, and when I die, you, a filial son, will throw me to a mass grave outside the city, I really don't have the face to see your dead father............"

Chu Yuan was shocked in his heart, seeing the gray look between the old lady's eyebrows and eyes under the anger, where could he care about the identity of the head of the Chu family, and knelt on the ground and begged the old lady to calm his anger.

Seeing that Chu Yuan was kneeling, where did he dare to stand, he knelt beside Chu Yuan with low eyebrows, and whispered that he sought medical treatment for his mother, although it was not in line with the rules of the Chu family, but it was also the way of filial piety, and there was nothing wrong with it. The old lady's body shook, and with Chu Yue's support, she walked outside, turned her head and pointed at the Chu family, but her eyes turned to Chu Yuan, and said coldly: "You ask her, do you want to be the daughter of the Guo family, or do you want to be the daughter-in-law of the Chu family." If she feels that the old body has bullied her, she can go back to Guo's house, even if you don't want to write a letter of resignation, I will show this old face to see the Queen Mother, and simply give her a free body. ”

Chu's face turned pale, and he was stunned and slumped on the ground, he really didn't expect the old lady to be able to say such a heart-wrenching word, this is forcing himself to death!
