Chapter 19 The News Comes
Chu Qingyun handed the wine glass to Zhiqing: "I'll go find my elder brother."

She was walking in the promenade by the son of the aristocratic family, without the slightest sense of incompatibility between men and women, and the girls from the aristocratic family on the opposite side were whispering for a while.

She looked up and glanced at the opposite side, a woman in a begonia red skirt stared at her, her mouth opened and closed, and she thought it would not be a pleasant word.

Chu Qingyun walked behind her elder brother, the two of them met, Chu Qiuyi's face darkened, already realizing that, Chu Qingyun pushed her elder brother's wheelchair away from the front hall.

"Did the news come back?" Chu Qiuyi's hands trembled.

"Ah."

Chu Qiuyi crushed the wine glass violently, his hand was cut and stained with blood.

"Zhiqing, quickly get the handkerchief." Chu Qingyun hurriedly rummaged through her cuffs for the sore medicine.

"I'm fine." Chu Qiuyi waved her hand away: "I'm going to tell my mother now and end the banquet."

Chu Qingyun grabbed his wheelchair, and while forcing him to apply the golden sore medicine, she said, "Brother, don't worry."

The courtyard is full of dignitaries, nobles and girls, she wants to see how sincere these people are. "

"Brother? Sister? Why aren't you in the front hall? What are you doing here?"

A clear and clear child's voice came, and Chu Qiuchi put away the copper whip and jumped over: "Eldest sister, I just won against those older kids again, and you will give me plums if you win, so don't play tricks..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Qiuchi's smile froze on his face: "What's the matter with you?"

Chu Qiuyi glanced at Chu Qingyun, opened her mouth again and again, but still couldn't open her mouth, and wordlessly pulled Chu Qiuchi into her arms.

Chu Qiuchi's eyes were burning, and he pushed Chu Qiuyi away: "Brother, I'm not a child anymore, do you guys have something to hide from me?"

Chu Qingyun clearly saw panic and bewilderment in those childish eyes.

In the general's mansion, Chu Qiuchi admired his father the most. He trained hard since he was a child, and he suffered more than ordinary children.

But now he wants to tell him that his favorite father, the father he admired the most has passed away, can he bear it?

But this General's Mansion can't tolerate a child who doesn't know much about the world.

Chu Qingyun gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, she squatted down, put away the pity in her eyes, and spoke seriously in his ear.

Chu Qiuyi's eyes widened suddenly, her hand holding the copper whip creaked, and her whole body seemed to tremble at any moment. .

The child who was innocent and naughty just now changed his face suddenly, with tears in his eyes and a hoarse voice: "Sister, you are not coaxing me, are you? This is not funny at all."

Knowing that he was suffering, Chu Qingyun took out a piece of candy from her cuff and stuffed it into his mouth: "Qiu Chi, this is the last candy my sister gave you. You will grow up and have no more candy to eat."

Before the words were finished, Chu Qiuchi's tears fell drop by drop on Chu Qingyun's cheeks, the tears were warm, and inexplicably made Chu Qingyun's eyes wet.

She put away her emotions: "My sister gave you a task, okay?"

Chu Qiuchi spat out the sugar in his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice, "Sister, I will take good care of my mother."

But within a few words before and after, Chu Qiuchi no longer looked like a child.

Looking at her firm eyes, Chu Qingyun nodded her head, "Good boy, elder brother and I have something to do, old and young in the family, elder sister will leave it to you."

……

The noon banquet officially started, and the dishes were sent from the kitchen to the hall. Mrs. Bai looked at the young man below with satisfaction, and was about to ask her girl if she liked her, when she heard a sharp voice at the door of the mansion.

"The decree has arrived."

The imperial decree arrived at noon.

Eunuch Li, the great eunuch, walked in with a poker face holding the imperial decree.

"What's going on, is the Chu family going to be sealed again?"

"Not at all, I just got the title of county magistrate."

"Is it news that General Chu won the battle?"

……

The guests in the mansion whispered, thinking that the Chu family would be rewarded for meritorious deeds again, but no one noticed that the three children of the Chu family had serious faces.

Mother Bai and her family were kneeling in the hall waiting to receive the order, Chu Qingyun frowned and did not move.

Eunuch Li's voice was sharp, and he looked at Chu Qingyun who hadn't knelt down, and said coldly: "Miss Chu, accept the order, so that this old slave can go back to work."

Only then did Chu Qingyun move.

Eunuch Li said slowly: "Your Majesty has an order. The Western Regions invaded. The great general of the rich country, Chu Hancheng, commanded a hundred thousand troops to resist the enemy, but he failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a minister. The city was destroyed and the people suffered heavy casualties. My heart is very sad, but I feel even more sorry for the fact that General Chu has worked so hard and died for his country. To show my heart, I specially sent Eunuch Li to express my condolences. But the Chu family must not act in a high-profile way to comfort the border people and thousands of people. Thousand generals."

All of a sudden, there was commotion in the hall
"Failed?"

"General Chu was actually defeated?"

"Lost two cities in a row?"

"It's probably going to be more difficult for the Chu family?"

"Isn't there another bad person?"

"It's useless, let's go quickly, don't touch His Majesty's brow."

……

The faces of those who were flattering just now changed drastically. If it wasn't for Eunuch Li who hadn't left yet, they probably wished they could leave the General's Mansion as soon as possible.

Chu Qingyun looked at the people around her coldly, and listened to the high-sounding words of the imperial decree. The matter was not yet clear. The people and the emperor had already pinned the shit pot of defeat on the general's head. It's ridiculous to be able to fulfill the responsibilities of a minister.

Chu Qingyun remained motionless and did not go to receive the order for a long time.

Eunuch Li coughed lightly: "Lord Chu, His Majesty was furious after being defeated in this battle with the Western Regions. The general died for his country. It is a sad thing, but right now, His Majesty is still angry and needs to be careful."

"Thank you, Eunuch, for reminding me." When Chu Qingyun finished the imperial edict, she wished she could tear the imperial edict to pieces, but she couldn't, she had to hold back.

Eunuch Li walked forward, but the imperial decree in Chu Qingyun's hand was still not secure.

The woman in the begonia red dress came over just now, and said in a strange way: "Not only is your father dead now, but he is also rejected by His Majesty. Let's see if you can steal my limelight in the future?"

At this moment, Chu Qingyun was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, and looked at the woman indifferently, "Who are you?"

The woman's face darkened, and the hairpin on her head shook wildly, pointing at her: "Chu Qingyun, you are in this situation, don't pretend to be confused, please beg me to forgive you, I will let my cousin Not to trouble you."

Zhiqing whispered in her ear: "Girl, this is Lan Chuchu, the prostitute daughter of the Lan family, the head of the four great families, and came over."

Chu Qingyun frowned, Lan's?cousin?
Her cousin is King Xuan?
It's really a narrow road to Encounter, Chu Qingyun waved away the woman who opened her teeth and claws: "Miss Lan, if you are sick, you should see her sooner, my Chu Mansion has no time to receive you."

"You..." Lan Chuchu wanted to say something else.

Chu Qingyun pulled out the copper whip from Chu Qiuchi's arm: "Get out? Get out."

Before Lan Chuchu could react, An Jiu threw her out of the general's mansion.
