After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother
Chapter 208: Old Chu is mighty
It has to be said that Minister Chu is a practical man. After the court session the next day, he did not even go back to the Ministry of Justice, but directly blocked Gu Chuanrong halfway.
"Uncle is well."
This is a middle-aged man with a very elegant temperament, a handsome figure and a fair complexion, and a short beard that adds to his mature demeanor. As expected, he is the third place winner who attracted countless ladies in the capital with just his face more than 20 years ago. He is really good-looking.
Chu Zhankui rolled his eyes at him unceremoniously.
"Stop pretending to be so hypocritical. What do you really mean? Wasn't it clear what I said that day? Why didn't you go and pick him up properly, but instead asked a bastard to go out and cause such a scene?"
After all, this was a corner that turned away from the road, and there were servants guarding not far away. In order to avoid being afraid of anyone eavesdropping, Chu Zhankui simply opened his mouth and started cursing.
"What? Are you reluctant to part with your beloved concubine cousin? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass our Chu family?
Gu Chuanrong, are you getting carried away, or do you think I can't lift the knife anymore?"
Maybe he was really angry. Anyway, he had never liked this brother-in-law for so many years. Chu Zhankui's violent temper when he was young would always come out from time to time towards this guy.
"If you want to piss me off, I will openly go to General Shen's mansion under the name of the Chu family to pick her up. Anyway, that girl also has the surname Chu now, so she can be directly included in the family tree of my Chu family. Then I want to see if your Gu family still has the face to save."
Gu Chuanrong lowered his eyes, and a flash of resentment flashed across his eyes.
"Brother, what are you talking about?
I didn't go to pick anyone up yesterday because my old mother at home accidentally heard the news and couldn't accept it and fainted suddenly.
He was filial to his father, so he took the initiative to bring the child back.
Who would have thought that the people in the general's mansion would have such no manners and beat my son so badly that he can't even get out of bed!
And the woman named Chu Chi, I heard that she didn't agree that she was my daughter. Maybe, it was really a mistake..."
"Don't make such nonsense. I know the inside story better than you do. There's no need to confuse right and wrong in front of me."
Chu Zhankui snorted coldly, the smile on his lips did not reach his eyes, and he looked inexplicably cold.
"I have found your cousin's personal maid. She explained in detail how the two children were swapped that day. You will definitely not wrongly accuse your beloved daughter!
Gu Chuanrong, my sister was not happy for six years after marrying you. You want to take a second wife and a concubine to continue the family line and have offspring. This is not wrong and I have no right to stop you.
But now your family has actually committed the crime of using a concubine to destroy the legitimate wife, and you even dare to treat my niece of the Chu family harshly. Don't blame me for not giving you face!
Today I will make things clear.
First, your daring concubine must be beaten to death! If you can't do it, I don't mind helping you.
Second, immediately clear my niece's name. That concubine who has usurped the throne should go back to where she came from and never think of getting involved with my Chu family again.
third,"
He looked at the other person's face, which was distorted by his forbearance, and there was a hint of disdain in his sneer.
"We must give back everything that girl deserves, not a cent less! When your concubine's daughter married into the Liu family under the name of a legitimate daughter, most of the things in the dowry she gave were from our Chu family.
That is the dowry for my Chu family's legitimate niece, not for your concubine's daughter. So spit out whatever you eat, or don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Of course, he had never been polite to this guy over the years. He looked down on him from the beginning, and he would definitely not look down on him in his entire life.
Gu Chuanrong clenched his fingers fiercely and endured it in his heart! The Chu family is a behemoth, and it is not something that a small family like his can afford to fight against.
He had no choice but to endure.
“Uncle, although Sister Lan may not be the Chu family’s biological niece, she has called you uncle for so many years.
All these were done by her aunt alone, and had nothing to do with the child. Moreover, she was already married, and if she went to the Liu family to ask for her dowry back, how would Lan Jieer be able to gain a foothold in her husband's family in the future?
I also ask my uncle to have mercy on the innocent child..."
"Shut up!"
If I hadn't been paying attention to self-cultivation now, I would have slapped this shameless person in the face!
"What do you mean the child is innocent? You, the concubine's daughter, have clearly replaced the legitimate daughter, enjoying the best education and fine clothes and food, and you are able to marry the husband of your dreams. Where is her innocence?
Speaking of innocence, my poor niece is truly innocent! Since you have such a kind heart, why are you unwilling to give some to your eldest daughter? Is it because she was born to my Chu family daughter that you despise her in every way? "
The more he talked, the more he felt that this was probably the truth. Chu Zhankui's face suddenly turned frighteningly dark. The second-rank official with real power radiated fiercely, instantly suppressing the other party's breathing.
"Could it be that you played a role in helping your concubine to successfully replace the child?"
"That's absolutely not the case!"
Hearing the coldness in the other party's tone, Gu Chuanrong no longer cared about the anger in his heart and quickly opened his mouth to explain frantically.
"Uncle, what you said is really too much. I know that my family was not well-known at the beginning and you didn't like me.
But you really can't smear me like this! It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. After all, I am a scholar, so how can I be worse than an animal?
When the woman in my family gave birth, I was still on business and had not returned to the capital. How could I have known that such trouble would arise?"
Only after seeing that the other person's face looked better did he breathe a sigh of relief and then explained a few words bitterly.
"I am not the only one who has this idea. Madam is reluctant to part with Sister Lan, who she raised like a treasure. She has been crying so hard at home these past two days that her figure is so haggard that it is unbearable. Alas..."
This was not a lie. The Gu family had indeed been having a very lively time these past two days. In the backyard, the old were crying and the young were howling, which made Gu Chuanrong very overwhelmed.
The reason for this situation is very simple. The concubine who exchanged the child was Xiao Qian, the niece of the old lady of the Gu family and the legitimate second wife of the Gu family.
Even though the crime has been exposed now, the old lady is protecting him, so it is impossible for him to be killed at will.
Let’s talk about Madam Gu Chu, she is also a weirdo.
Maybe she doesn't have the confidence because she can't give birth to a boy, or maybe she is too virtuous to regard her husband as her heaven.
Anyway, her personality is as soft as tofu dregs now. She seems to be able to poke anyone who makes her unhappy. But she is useless and can't be relied on at all.
If this mess had not been exposed to the emperor, Chu Zhankui would be so tired of thinking about his annoying sister that he didn't want to care about it anymore.
