The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Chu Heyi and his father and brother were unwilling to believe that Chu Runxue was such a scheming person.

Chu Heyi directly shattered their last hope: "From the current situation, it seems that Chu Runxue has never thought about returning the marriage that belongs to me and King Cheng!"

Chu Yu's hands on the coffee table suddenly clenched into fists, and the knuckles turned white. "But I heard that Runxue was forced by King Cheng, and she was seriously injured and bleeding. After returning home, she asked a female doctor to visit her, and now she is still bedridden! If she wanted to do this, why did she hurt herself?"

Chu Heyi said: "Brother, you have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, how could you not know the 'tactic of inflicting pain on one's self'?"

Chu Ni pursed his lips and looked at Chu Heyi in surprise.

"If Chu Runxue really wanted to return the marriage, she would have had plenty of opportunities to do so during the ten days I was back home. But she didn't do that. Instead, she knelt in the ancestral hall for three days. This would buy time so that she could manipulate the birthday banquet and completely take possession of the marriage.

"Secondly, if the news of her kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days reached His Majesty King Cheng, he would think that she suffered so much because of me. King Cheng already had a bad impression of me before he even met me.

"Today, His Royal Highness King Cheng asked me to cancel the engagement when we met for the first time. This is the evidence!"

Chu Zhen angrily slammed the table: "This is outrageous. He just met you and asked you to cancel the engagement! He doesn't want to fulfill the engagement but wants you to bear the blame!"

"Yes, father. If it weren't for Chu Runxue's handiwork, His Royal Highness Prince Cheng could have married me and then married Chu Runxue as a concubine. After all, if he broke off the engagement with me, he would be cursed by the world!"

Chu Heyi smiled coldly.

"But the fact that Prince Cheng wanted to break off the engagement as soon as he saw me can only mean that Chu Runxue wanted to become the princess, and she made a move, which is why Prince Cheng insisted on marrying her and resolutely broke off the engagement with me."

Chu Zhen and his son were very angry.

After a long while, Chu Yu said, "Runxue has already robbed you of your life. You have lived a life of luxury in the Chu family for fifteen years. Now she is trying to rob you of your marriage. Isn't she afraid that we will be angry and heartbroken?

"We do love her, but you are our real relative. If she treats you like this, isn't she afraid of losing the support of her mother's family? Without a decent dowry, will your life in Prince Cheng's mansion be difficult in the future?"

Finally getting to the point, Chu Heyi took a deep breath, and what she was going to say next was the key point.

All the previous things were just to let them have a certain degree of understanding of Chu Runxue's true character.

"Brother, what you are worried about is true. Although she is not of the Chu family, she was raised by my aunt. As long as she stays calm and waits for marriage, even if she cannot marry the King, she will definitely not marry badly as the adopted daughter of the Chu family.

"But she finally decided to seize my marriage for herself, even at the cost of offending our Chu family and making you feel disappointed and angry, in order to become the Princess Cheng. Why?

"As for His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, his mother is a noble concubine who is second only to the emperor, his uncle is the prime minister, and he himself has military merits. It would be of great benefit to him to marry the daughter of the general's mansion. But why did he choose Chu Runxue and break off the engagement with me even at the cost of being cursed by the world?"

After Chu Heyi said this, Chu Zhen and his son both looked extremely unhappy. They felt that they had touched upon some truth, but they could not accept it at all.

Daqi was founded nearly a hundred years ago, and their Chu family has been guarding the border for nearly a hundred years. They only want to protect the people of Daqi and prevent the enemy from entering the territory of Daqi. They are unwilling and disdainful to participate in the court struggles.

Chu Heyi looked at his father and brother and knew what they could not accept: Chu Runxue had been too well-behaved, too sensible, and too kind for the past fifteen years.

Although they seldom met Chu Runxue, they had cherished her in their hearts for fifteen years. She grew up from a little girl in their world. They firmly believed that she was a family member and a close relative. How could they accept her betrayal and her evil heart now!

But Chu Heyi still chose to say: "His Royal Highness Prince Cheng wants to marry Chu Runxue, of course, because they are childhood sweethearts and have a deep affection for each other. But this alone is not enough for His Royal Highness Prince Cheng to disobey the imperial decree and break off the engagement with me. He must marry Chu Runxue no matter what. Unless - Chu Runxue can take the Chu family's military power to Dongfang Shuo."

Chu Zhen and Chu Yi gasped.

They had thought of this just now, but were unwilling to believe it or accept it. Now that Chu Heyi said it directly, they just felt disgusted and wanted to vomit!

That feeling was like going to the battlefield for the first time and seeing someone fall in front of you, trampled into a bloody mess.

Chu Yu said in a hoarse voice: "How can she have such ability? How could His Royal Highness King Cheng believe that she can take away the military power of the Chu family?"

Chu Heyi smiled lightly, and that smile was chilling and bone-chilling.

"Brother, the Chu family has been guarding the border for generations. Although they have given birth to many children, many have died. Especially now, there are not many men left in the Chu family."

There was silent grief in Chu Heyi's calm tone.

"Father broke his right leg on the battlefield a few years ago, and he retired from the battlefield. Now the only one in the Chu family who can go to the battlefield is my eldest brother."

Chu Zhen and Chu Yi's faces were also filled with deep sadness.

They knew that in Daqi, many people hoped that the descendants of the Chu family would prosper and have successors who could continue to guard the borders of Daqi.

But there are also many people who are waiting for the Chu family to be completely deserted so that they can divide up the Chu family's military power.

They were aware of the situation and had worked very hard on the Chu family's offspring, but the Chu family's fate seemed to be coming to an end, with those who died brilliantly and those who survived being mediocre.

Chu Heyi said: "If I were Chu Runxue and wanted to seize the Chu family's military power, I would first take Big Brother's life while he is in Shengjing."

Chu Yu stared at her with eyes wide open.

Chu Heyi seemed not to notice and continued, "Once my eldest brother dies, if there is chaos in the north, my father will definitely go to the battlefield. My fourth brother will be worried about my father, so he will definitely go with him.

"My fourth brother has loved reading since he was young and doesn't like fighting on the battlefield. But the emperor thinks that he is a descendant of a general and must be better than others, so he will definitely allow him to go with my father. And my father has never liked weak scholars, and he is very happy to see my fourth brother go into battle and kill the enemy, so he will naturally not refuse.

"His Royal Highness King Cheng would stand up at this time and say that his father is old and weak and has a broken leg. Fourth brother has never been to the battlefield. He is willing to follow his father's command as a deputy general and go to Changqing City to quell the war in the north."

Chu Zhen and Chu Yi nodded, thinking that Chu Heyi was right and they would indeed do so.

The reactions of King Cheng and the Emperor as described by her also matched their perception of King Cheng and the Emperor.

"What happens after we go to the North? Will King Cheng work together with you to repel the enemy? No, he can team up with Chu Runxue to kill my eldest brother, and he will never let my father and fourth brother come back alive!

"You will die on the battlefield when you successfully repel the enemy. All the achievements will belong to His Royal Highness Chengwang. He will become the God of War and everyone in the world will admire him. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the north will also be in his pocket."

Although it was spring, Chu Zhen and Chu Xie felt a layer of cold sweat on their backs.
