After being divorced, the concubine became the first lady

Chapter 4

When the news came that the head of the family had been kidnapped, the Chu family was in chaos. They habitually thought that the robbers were for money, and thought about how to rescue people quickly, but did not make time to think about this aspect.

In a short period of time, even Chu Jingde only thought that kidnapping was not that simple.

The warm spring breeze in April was outside the window, but several people inside the house felt chilly.

If this is true, the identity of the traitor is obviously unusual.

Mrs. Liu's eyes were dull and she murmured: "Then, who knows the master's route this time and who is the traitor?"

"I know." Wang's expression was similar, and she waved her hands repeatedly after speaking, "Father, it's not me. Every time I go out, I always tell me, how could I harm my husband."

As the first wife, although Chu Jianzu had not stayed with her for many years, he still respected her enough.

Chu Yan couldn't see that his mother was wronged, and bowed deeply to Chu Jingde: "Grandpa, my mother has been married into the Chu family for decades, and she has absolutely no second thoughts."

Chu Jinjin frowned secretly. To be honest, her first suspect was the Wang family and her son.

The reason is simple, who benefits the most.

Just look at the current situation of the Chu family. The Wang family is in charge, Chu Yan is taking over the family business, and the mother and son are one on the outside and the other on the inside. As for the grandfather, he can only hold on for a while, but he has long since lost the energy.

It is undeniable that the Wang family has contributed to the Chu family over the years, but that was before.

Among the new generation of the Chu family, Chu Yan is not the best, but he only occupies the status of the eldest son. Chu Jinjin can feel her father's attitude and has been struggling with this matter all these years.

She could feel it, and so could Wang.

An old woman who has passed half her life obviously no longer has any expectations for love. Her son is her support for the rest of her life.

Mrs. Liu said weakly like a child who had done something wrong: "I seem to know that the master was at my place the night before leaving and said he would bring me the Tiezhou Bronze Man when he came back."

Tiezhou was only a few dozen miles away from the place where Chu Zijian was robbed, so he knew the route in disguise.

After she finished speaking, she pointed to the sky and said word by word: "I swear, if I tell others that I have gained ten pounds, no, twenty pounds."

Chu Jinjin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The oath her mother swore was so serious.

But even if they weren't mother and daughter, she wouldn't doubt it.

Not to mention that the two of them were extremely tired of each other all day long. When their father was robbed, they lost their greatest support.

Ms. Wang seized the opportunity, and her boss's domineering attitude was revealed: "Except for me, I never tell anyone else. Mr. Liu, have you ever showed off to others?"

"That's enough." Chu Jingde growled, his cloudy old eyes sharp, "Ms. Wang, from today on, you are not allowed to go out without my permission. The middle class will be taken care of by Mrs. Liu and Jinjin for the time being."

Chu Jinjin: "."

Older gingers are more spicy.

In her eyes, everyone except her grandfather and mother were possible, and conversely, she was also a target of suspicion in the eyes of others.

This is to test her.

Ms. Liu gasped in fright, her almond-shaped eyes widened: "Father, I can't do it. Everyone in the house knows that I'm crazy about calculations."

Chu Yan was really anxious now: "Grandpa, you absolutely must not do this."

Chu Jinjin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Without her taking action, her opponent blew himself up first.

He couldn't understand such a simple truth. If the Chu family really wanted to hand it over to him, it would be the end.

Chu Jingde, who had been tricked by the pig grandson, could not hide his disappointment. Most of his strong energy suddenly disappeared, and he seemed to have aged several years.

"Thank you for your trust, grandfather, but my mother is simple-minded, and I don't like to use my brain." Chu Jinjin didn't want to test it anymore, and directly expressed her thoughts, "The black shadow village is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Reporting to the official is useless. I don't know whether my father is alive or dead. , the granddaughter thought, in this case, she might as well pay an honest visit as a member of the Chu family."

"If my father is alive, let them make conditions. If he has been killed, his ghost cannot be allowed to wander outside."

Chu Jingde's eyes lit up again.

Since the incident, he has been very disappointed with his eldest grandson, who had high hopes for him.

That's it for others. As the future successor of the Chu family, he actually messed up his position first.

But Chu Jinjin gave him some hope again.

There are still smart people in the Chu family.

Chu Jingde said in a deep voice: "All the shadow robbers are desperadoes. We still don't know their true purpose. This trip is extremely dangerous. That's all. I don't have many years left to live on my old bones."

Chu Yan was shocked: "Grandpa, let the grandson go. The grandson is willing to save his father."

Chu Jingde continued to act calmly: "You are the future heir of the Chu family. If something happens to you again, what will the Chu family do?"

Chu Yan is not very smart, but he is really filial: "There are second brother, third brother, grandfather, and grandson who are the most suitable candidates."

Wang's eyes burst into tears: "Yan'er, no, let's discuss this matter in the long run."

There are three sons in the Chu family, two of whom are her own.

Chu Jinjin sighed: "I'll go."

Chu Yan seemed to have heard some joke, he didn't even use the title, and said impatiently: "Don't cause trouble."

When a beautiful young lady goes to a bandit's den, she doesn't even have to think about what will happen.

Chu Jinjin slowly took out something from her arms.

Except for Liu, all three of them looked like they had seen a ghost.

It was a green emerald brave, the size of a finger, with two yellow emerald eyes, and a red mane on the back.

Three-color carved jadeite.

Chu Yan once again said something inconsistent with his identity: "Did you steal my father's?"

Chu Zujian's private seal cannot be said to command everyone in the Chu family with this seal, but there is no problem with the shopkeepers of various branches.

Chu Jinjin said nothing and looked at Chu Jingde.

The old man did not disappoint her, and simply kicked the person out. After calming down, he said thoughtfully: "Girl Jin, what is your real plan?"

The meaning of this private seal is not that simple.

It was left to him by his son's mother, and he has never left it for decades.

Being able to hand it over to Chu Jinjin meant that there must be some inside information that he didn't know about.

But that's not important.

The important thing is that he saw hope that his son would come back.

Chu Jinjin smiled like a little fox: "Lead the snake out of its hole."

It's comfortable to deal with smart people.

On this day, the Chu family was as busy as the Chinese New Year, with servants and maids coming in and out, shopkeepers from various shops coming and going, all with solemn expressions.

Teahouses, restaurants and other places across the capital were packed.

There are so many melons and they are so big that I don’t know which one to eat first.

It must be a big deal that the head of the Chu family was kidnapped by Black Eagle Village.

It must be a big deal that Chu Jinjin was dismissed on the first day she married into Xu Mansion.

Hey bride, on the first day, nothing so outrageous has ever happened in the whole capital.

It's even more lively now. It is said that the Chu family urgently raised one million taels to send Chu Yan and Chu Jinjin to the bandits' den for negotiations.

Damn it.

But if they knew what Chu Jinjin was doing at this moment, they would find that these were nothing.

In front of Chu Jinjin was a red box that had just been taken out from the secret room.

The inside is simply a pocket version of a weapons shop.

Darts, knives, daggers, and even sweat pills.
