Chapter 41: Rejection of Good Intentions
Chu Xiong didn't know what was crazy today, and he wanted to set up a banquet at home, which sounded good to celebrate the return of his two daughters, but in fact, it was to give Chu Xing a dismount.
He asked his subordinates to prepare a table of delicious dinners and delicious dishes early in the afternoon, and the house was lively all day long, as if there was a feeling of celebrating the New Year.
Chu Lan heard a lot of movement outside the house, and people kept walking around, which was very lively.
When she opened the door, she saw a group of people washing and scrubbing the floor, turning out the old dishes and chopsticks, and washing them one by one. "What are you doing here? Is there something big about the family being so lively? ”
"The master said that we should prepare a big meal in the evening, wash the dust for you and the second lady, and let us prepare well." The maid said.
Chu Lan was stunned and speechless. She didn't expect Chu Xiong to arrange it like this, and she didn't know what the purpose was.
Tianyang and Yang Lin guarded behind Chu Lan and asked, "Miss, the weather is so good today, do you want to go out for a walk?" ”
Chu Lan and the two guards became good friends, and they stayed by Chu Lan's side every day, talking and laughing, which made her feel much happier.
"Good idea, it's been a long time since I've been out. Good weather for travel. Chu Lan showed a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time, and she was in a very happy mood.
As soon as the three of them walked out of the house, they were stopped.
"Miss, the lord is invited, the hall has dinner, please go and sit down first." The butler came to invite her, but the tone was very tough, and it was impossible to refuse.
Chu Lan was stunned, her wish was not to go.
"Yang Lin, you invite the second lady here and ask her if she is going to have dinner." Chu Lan commanded.
Yang Lin agreed, as soon as she took a step, she met Chu Xing entering the door, and she had already learned the news, so she hurried to her sister's place.
"Butler, let's not go to the hall to eat, just eat a few bites here." Chu Xing said as she walked.
Chu Lan came up and grabbed Chu Xing's hand, "Don't go, is it really good?" She was a little worried that her father's temper would be bad for them.
"Don't go, if you don't go, you won't go, we sisters just make do with it at night. Butler, you go and tell your father that we can't go, just let the old man eat by himself. Chu Xing commanded.
The housekeeper had no choice but to go and tell Chu Xiong, Chu Xiong was furious after hearing this, and slapped the table: "It's useless for the old man to speak, right?" These two daughters don't take my word for granted, do they? I can't help them, go and arrest them now. ”
Chu Xiong was so angry that he fell to the ground, his chest twitched and ached, he covered his chest, sat down slowly, panting, and felt particularly uncomfortable.
"Bastard thing." He scolded angrily.
The housekeeper rushed to their house with a group of people and shouted at the door, "Miss, come out, come out quickly." ”
Chu Xing was resting, heard the sound, and rushed out to take a look, Chu Lan had already gone out for a walk with the guards, leaving Chu Xing to rest in the house.
"What are you yelling about, don't you know I'm resting?"
Chu Xing walked out of the room with a big grin, she had never spoken to them in a good voice, because they were always on Chu Xiong's side and bullied the two of them.
As soon as the family came up, they made a move, and several strong men tied Chu Xing's hands with straps and dragged her out.
"Let me go, what are you doing? I said no, what are you doing? ”
"Miss, no one can resist the master's order." Jia Ding dragged the thin Chu Xing outside as he spoke, and Chu Xing screamed.
"Help, help me!" Chu Xing shouted loudly, and the two guards rushed to the scene when they heard the sound, quickly rescued the scene, and kicked the family members away.
"Miss Chu, don't be afraid." They protected Chu Xing behind them.
"Don't come here, or I'll make you look good." Bai Yi said.
"The master's order is difficult to disobey, and I ask the second lady to come with us." After the family finished speaking, he fought against the guards, and there was chaos in an instant.
Chu Xing dodged, the two guards were good at kung fu, how could a few family members be their opponents? In a few strokes, they were knocked to their stomachs, and the family members ran away in dismay.
After Chu Xiong learned about it, he was so angry that he was angry, he was originally in a bad mood when he was angry in the court, but now he choked on a mouthful of old blood in his chest.
"What an unfilial girl! Are these two people trying to me off alive? ”
Chu Xiong was so angry that he couldn't eat dinner, he was so dizzy that he fainted.
Chu Xing learned from the maid that Chu Xiong was sick and bedridden, so she immediately went back to the room and told Chu Lan.
"It's really evil and evil retribution, retribution is coming! Who let him bully us. Chu Xing was actually a little happy, Chu Xiong was sick and didn't care about their affairs.
Chu Lan was expressionless, and she didn't know what to do. "After all, he's also our father, I'll go see what's going on."
"Eh, don't go, don't know, more is better than less." Chu Xing dissuaded.
After speaking, Jiang Shu came to visit and beckoned Chu Xing to go out.
Chu Xing was surprised to see Jiang Shu, "I don't know what wind blew you here?" ”
"I'm going to take you to the Criminal Department for a walk, today happens to be an open day, haven't you always wanted to go and see it?" Jiang Shu warmly invited.
Chu Lan persuaded her: "Go, the opportunity is rare." ”
"Then you stay at home well, let them protect you, and I'll go back as soon as I go." Chu Xing is most worried about her sister.
Chu Xing followed Jiang Shu to the Criminal Department, and the two of them talked and laughed on the way, and they were very happy. Chu Xing asked Jiang Shu questions, and Jiang Shu answered very politely, the two were like masters and apprentices, and they had a close relationship.
"This is the Criminal Department, it is heavily guarded, no loud noises, all the people who come in and out on weekdays are people from the Criminal Department, they are generally above the status of lawyers, each of them is very famous, you can follow me later." Jiang Shu slowly introduced.
Chu Xing nodded, holding his head high and carefully observing the heavily guarded city tower, as if he had come to a palace castle.
"Hello, we want to come in and visit the Criminal Department, this is our pass." Jiang Shu said to the guard at the door and took out the token.
After the guards carefully confirmed, they observed the identities of the two, Chu Xing was a little worried, thinking that he was not letting them in. But he kindly told them, "Please come in, put on the token and the pass, and you will be able to enter." Oh yes, only the son of Shangshu came to visit today, and you can visit a few more places without restrictions. ”
Jiang Shu was surprised, how lucky he was.
"Really? That's really great. Jiang Shu said very happily and turned his head to tell Chu Xing the news.
"We can have a good walk around today and take our time. It's very big inside, and I'll show you all about it later. Jiang Shu took Chu Xing into the door.
