Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dragons and the Snakes
Mrs. Li woke up from the violent jolt, her face swollen and painful, and she touched it hot.
The slap resurfaced in front of his eyes.
She had never suffered such humiliation in her lifetime, and she was extremely angry: "Chu Zhinan, Chu family, I just fought for this old life, and I can't let you have a good time." ”
She couldn't figure out how Chu Zhinan and the Chu family, who had been firmly controlled by his Li family, suddenly turned back.
Her son was locked up in a dark prison, and she was powerless to save her heartache, and what was even more tragic was that the Chu family limited her to return Chu Zhinan's dowry and all that the Chu family gave her within three days, that is, all her assets.
She was accustomed to a life of abundance, and when she thought of her future life as poor as a beggar, she was so desperate that she broke down and cried.
"Madam, go and beg the old patriarch."
The words of the personal maid made Mrs. Li stop crying, wiped her face, and shouted, "Go, go to the old patriarch's house." ”
A moment later, the Li clan.
The old patriarch with gorgeous hair was smoking a cigarette pouch and listening to Mrs. Li's crying expressionlessly.
"Old patriarch, Bo'er has worked for the benefit of the clan, and many of the sons and daughters of the clan have also been placed by Bo'er, and now Bo'er is unjustly imprisoned, can you ignore it."
Mrs. Li looked at the calm old patriarch with tears in her eyes, and she was anxious.
After smoking a bag of cigarettes, the old patriarch knocked the cigarette pouch pot on the sole of his shoe, sighed faintly, and said: "Sun Taishou doesn't want to see you, you should be subject to the coercion of the Chu family, and the focus of Bo'er's exoneration is still the Chu family, so you can do what they ask." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Li's face sank, and she took a few shots, "I said that for half a day, you will ask me to repay the Chu family's money, it is impossible to repay the money, only my old life." ”
The old patriarch frowned, and looked at Mrs. Li coldly: "Bo'er has been an official for many years, and you have also seen a lot of the world, why haven't you raised a little city government." The crime of disobedience can also be big or small, and the Chu family didn't say it, as long as they returned everything that should be returned, they would protect Bo'er's life.
You return the things first, let them write a letter of understanding, as long as Bo'er comes out, I have my own way to make the Chu family spit out everything. ”
Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows and smiled and stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for the old patriarch: "You really have a way, tell me about it." ”
"You just do what I say, no matter how strong his Chu family is, this Yangcheng is my Li family's territory, and the strong dragon can't overwhelm the local snake, and when Bo'er goes home, I have a way to let them come and go."
The old patriarch's tone was faint, but he was ruthless and decisive.
After a while, Mrs. Li left the old patriarch's house full of joy.
When night fell, Chu Zhinan waited for her mother to sleep, she put away the empty medicine bowl and quietly walked out of the bed.
Looking at the long shadow at her feet, she looked up at the bright moon and bright stars in the night sky, and thought of her daughter's favorite snuggle in her arms to watch the starry sky, her eyes were filled with tears.
She misses her daughter so much, her mind is full of pictures of her daughter being beaten by her mother-in-law, her heart seems to be torn apart, and she really wants to rush back to Li's house desperately.
But if she returns to the Li family, her mother's injuries will be in vain, everything Chu Zishan has done will be wasted, and she and her daughter will no longer be able to leave the hell of the Li family.
Bear with it again, believe Chu Zishan, she said that she would bring Shu'er back, and she would definitely ......
"Mother."
A childish and delicate child's voice came, Chu Zhinan's body trembled, and he looked over with the voice.
Under the moonlight, Chu Zishan led a very beautiful girl to stand at the gate of the courtyard.
"Shu'er."
Chu Zhinan hurriedly rushed over and hugged his daughter in his arms: "Shu'er, my Shu'er, my mother can see you......"
She suddenly let go of her daughter, looked up and down nervously, and gently looked at her daughter, "Mother is not here for a few days, have your father and grandmother beaten you?" ”
Shu'er shook her head and raised her little hand to wipe away the tears on Chu Zhinan's face: "No, Shu'er misses her mother very much." ”
"I also want to be a sister-in-law, and my mother will never leave her in the future, so we will go back to Kyoto with my grandmother in two days......"
Shu'er blinked her eyes wide, "Mother lied." ”
"No, my mother didn't lie to Shu'er, this time I will definitely take Shu'er away, and we will never go back to Li's house again."
Before, every time she couldn't stand Li Bo going back to her parents' house, Li Bo didn't let her take her daughter away, for fear that she would never return.
"Mother once said that Aunt Zishan is very ugly and bad, eating people like a wolf, but Aunt Zishan is not ugly at all, she can take Shu'er to fly in the sky, but she is amazing, and she is very good to Shu'er......"
Listening to his daughter's words, Chu Zhinan was embarrassed, and turned his head to look at Chu Zishan, but he didn't know when this person left.
She hugged her daughter and said in a trembling voice: "It's my mother who lied, my mother was wrong, your Aunt Zishan is the most powerful and best person in the world." ”
Three days later, Mrs. Li came to the door and returned all the dowry and assets given by Chu Zhinan, admitting her mistake with a very humble and sincere attitude, and begging Mei to write a letter of understanding in a low voice.
Chu Zishan did as she wished, and Mrs. Li got the letter of understanding and left the Wandering Villa happily.
Chu Zhinan looked at Mrs. Li who had walked away, and frowned: "She is a notoriously unstoppable iron rooster, how can she be so happy and return such a large amount of assets, this is not normal." ”
Chu Zishan smiled slyly: "If she doesn't make some trouble, how can I shovel the grass and eradicate the roots?" ”
The next day, several carriages left Shake Hill.
Chu Zishan lifted the curtain and looked at the mountain villa that was getting farther away, inexplicably feeling a little sad.
Early this morning, she asked her family to prepare to pack up and go back to Beijing, and asked the housekeeper to ask Gu Yimo if he was going back with him, and the housekeeper said that Gu Yimo went out early in the morning, and left a message to let them go first, and he caught up after dealing with the matter of the branch.
In her opinion, Gu Yimoliu's words were just prevarication, and she must have been scared and retreated.
But this trip to Yangcheng is also thanks to Gu Yimo's care, so she should say thank you.
If you're lucky enough to meet again, let's talk about it.
Without the noisy sound, Chu Zhinan lifted the curtain and saw the wide avenue and endless fields, she said, "Out of Yangcheng." ”
Finally leaving the nightmarish Yangcheng, her mind and body are extremely happy.
Chu Zishan glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Close the window." ”
Chu Zhinan smiled: "The weather is very good today, it's not cold at all......"
"Shut it up." Chu Zishan said sharply.
Chu Zhinan trembled in fright, hurriedly closed the car window, and peeked at Chu Zishan, whose face suddenly became very scary.
"Parking, parking ...... that doesn't want to die"
Suddenly there was a man's rough shout outside the car, and Chu Zhinan hugged his daughter tightly with panic in his eyes.
Chu Zishan hooked the corners of his lips slightly, smiled evilly, moved his neck, his eyes burst with ruthlessness, and he got up and walked out of the car.
