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

"Instead of relying on the military power of my father-in-law's family to increase my chances of succession, it is better to hold the power of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in my own hands."

As soon as Chu Heyi said this, Chu Zhen and his son felt as if thunder had exploded, almost blowing their souls away.

Unexpected, yet reasonable!

Chu Heyi continued, "So, King Cheng chose Chu Runxue. Once he becomes the War God and is admired by the people of the world, who would still remember his despicable act of breaking off the engagement with me?"

In his previous life, Chu Runxue and Dongfang Shuo wanted to kill the eldest brother, but he was lucky enough to survive, only losing his legs.

Long after she lost her legs, her eldest brother saw her imprisoned and died to protect her.

By then, the only people left in the Chu family would be the elderly, the weak, women and children.

Chu Zhen and his son looked pale, as if they were standing on a cliff and about to fall off without even realizing it.

Chu Zhen wiped the sweat off his face, his eyes filled with grief and anger: "Jia Shiren and his wife have hurt you so much. Chu Runxue is their daughter and has such a good life in the Chu family. It's ok for her to be ungrateful, but she actually tried to harm the entire Chu family! In this case, I will kill her!"

How could Chu Zhen not be heartbroken when his daughter, whom he had cherished for fifteen years, turned out to be such a person?

He was completely defenseless against this daughter.

Even after learning about what Jia Shiren and his wife had done, he was still worried that the kind-hearted Chu Runxue would blame herself and feel embarrassed!

As a result, when Heyi just returned, she had already begun planning to murder the entire Chu family.

"Father!" Chu Yu stopped him. "So far, Runxue has not done anything to kill me or harm the Chu family. If you kill her now, you will be cursed by the world, and the soldiers will think that the Chu family has harmed innocent people, which is very disadvantageous to our Chu family!"

Chu Zhen was stunned, he was overwhelmed by anger and heartache.

Now the Chu family is guarding the northern border with 300,000 troops at their command, and their every move is being watched.

Chu Yu continued, "Besides, fifteen years ago, it was you who begged your aunt to raise Runxue yourself. Your aunt has already lost two children, and for many years she has treated Runxue as her own child. If you were to kill her now, your aunt would definitely not let you.

"If I kill Runxue without my aunt's knowledge, I'm afraid I won't be alive when she finds out. My aunt doesn't know the truth. In her mind, Runxue will always be the innocent child who died tragically. Which mother can bear the pain of losing three children in a row?"

Chu Zhen's eyes were red: "Are we just going to sit and wait to die?"

"Not really." Chu Yu said, "The above is just a guess, not necessarily true."

Chu Zhen frowned and stared at his eldest son: "Do you think Heyi can't tolerate Runxue and deliberately framed Runxue?"

Chu Zhen didn't say this out loud, but Chu Yi could read the meaning in his father's eyes.

He took a deep breath, looked at Chu Heyi, and said, "Heyi, I know that what you said is for the good of the Chu family, but Runxue has been my sister for fifteen years, and I... I don't want to believe that she is that kind of person. I want to give her, or rather, give me and her, another chance in our brother-sister relationship."

Chu Heyi was not surprised that his elder brother would react like this.

After all, they have been relatives for fifteen years, so I am unwilling to believe it in my heart. Of course, I will not give up until I see it with my own eyes.

If the eldest brother had killed Chu Runxue just because of her words, he would not have become the general stationed in a place now.

"Brother, I understand you."

Chu Zhen was angry and anxious: "If things are really as He Yi said, and Runxue wants to kill the Chu family and take away the Chu family's military power, what should we do? If we don't kill her now, are we going to let her do things that hurt the Chu family?"

Chu Yu's eyebrows were filled with a hint of pain: "Does He Yi have a plan to deal with this?"

Chu Heyi said, "Brother, you came back to Shengjing this time for the wedding of the eldest daughter of the Chu family and His Royal Highness Prince Cheng. After this matter is settled, you must hurry back to the border. But before you go back, brother must go to a place, and that place is something that everyone can guess."

Go somewhere?

Chu Yi suddenly remembered that his original wife had passed away, and his family had arranged a woman for him to be his second wife, and they were going to get married at the end of this year.

Before he went to the border, he naturally had to visit his fiancée.

Thinking of his fiancée, Chu Yi's eyes were filled with tenderness.

But thinking that Chu Runxue might attack him that day, Chu Yi felt cold, angry and painful.

I hope this is just Chu Heyi’s guess and Chu Runxue is not such a bad person!

Chu Heyi said: "I will follow you secretly that day. If you encounter any accidents, just do what I say."

Chu Yu endured the heartache and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

"But I also have a request for you, big brother. You can't say anything to Chu Runxue during this period of time. Otherwise, if she notices something unusual, she will definitely change her plan, and we will be caught off guard."

"it is good!"

Chu Ni agreed, but he still had one last hope in his heart: Chu Runxue, please don't let me, your big brother, down!

After discussing Chu Runxue, there was silence in the study for a while. Chu Zhen finally spoke: "What are we going to do next? Just wait for King Cheng to come and cancel the engagement?"

After Chu Yi calmed down a little, he had his own thoughts. He said, "Father, the emperor may not agree to His Royal Highness Cheng Wang's cancellation of the engagement. After all, his marriage with He Yi was granted by the emperor himself. How can he regret it?

"Besides, our Chu family has been guarding the border for nearly a hundred years. The emperor should not offend our Chu family easily. Now everyone knows that Runxue is not a descendant of the Chu family!"

Chu Zhen had a bad feeling: "Empress Zheng is favored and has only one prince. If Prince Cheng really threatens to die and not marry Chu Runxue, I'm afraid the concubine will have no choice but to agree. Besides, Prince Cheng has military merits and can have a say in front of the emperor."

Chu Heyi said: "Father is right, the emperor will agree to cancel the engagement."

The border of Daqi had been harassed for many years, wars were frequent, the treasury was empty, and Daqi was very poor.

Chu Runxue is good at making money. In order to become the princess, Chu Runxue will definitely take action to solve the emperor's financial crisis.

Only with money can we stabilize the people, continue fighting and defend the territory.

In this way, the emperor would definitely agree to let Chu Runxue become the princess. And it was inevitable that she would be broken off from the engagement.

So what if the emperor made such a promise? For the sake of his country, the emperor would definitely choose the economy, and at most he would just issue an edict of apology.

However, Chu Heyi hated Dongfang Shuo so much that she didn't want to marry him, so she naturally wouldn't stop Chu Runxue from offering advice.

But she couldn't let Dongfang Shuo break off the engagement easily, Dongfang Shuo would have to bleed.

"Father, please go to the palace immediately and ask the emperor not to agree to Prince Cheng's request to cancel the engagement. Recount the pain my mother went through to save Concubine Zheng, and then tell the emperor that if my daughter cannot marry into Prince Cheng's mansion, given her experience growing up in the countryside and having her engagement canceled, I'm afraid she won't be able to find a good family."

Although he said these words that sounded weak, pitiful and helpless, there was a hidden cold hatred in Chu Heyi's eyes.
