Chapter 20
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Although His Majesty's imperial decree didn't say it clearly, his attitude was indifferent. This group of young ladies and gentlemen from aristocratic families are used to seeing wind and wind, and they already know it well at this moment.

What's more, at this juncture, Chu Qingyun actually dared to anger the Lan family. The Lan family is not only the head of the family, but also backed by the beloved concubine Lan Guifei. The Chu family will not have a good life in the future.

The boys and girls all left quietly with their heads down, without even a word of greeting or comfort.

The courtyard that was still lively just now became deserted in an instant, and there was only crying in the entire General's Mansion.

Chu Qingyun watched coldly, and the people in this world were indeed as cold as she expected.

Mother Bai was kneeling beside her, half leaning on Wang Momo's body, she was choked up and speechless.

"Chu...Miss Chu, Lord Chu, my condolences." The fourth prince Gao Hengning was so drunk that he was dragged away by the servants of the mansion as soon as he finished speaking.

Lu Jinzhou was originally beside the fourth prince, but instead of leaving with the fourth prince, he stood motionless in front of the court.

Chu Qingyun helped her mother up, turned her head and said, "Commander Lu, Qingyun can't entertain you today, please go back."

Lu Jinzhou closed the fan: "After the mourning hall is built, I will come to offer my condolences."

A trace of gratitude flashed in Chu Qingyun's eyes, and she realized that Lu Jinzhou was wearing a white shirt with landscape patterns and a black belt today, and there was no color on his body.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, on behalf of my mother."

"You're welcome." Lu Jinzhou turned around, didn't take a few steps, then turned back suddenly, and said in a low voice: "I've shot the bird, I advise you to wait and see what happens, and don't make trouble."

Chu Qingyun stared at Lu Jinzhou. Is this a reminder or a warning?

Did the help in Hualou the day before yesterday come at random, or did he have other plans.

Lu Jinzhou glanced at Chu Qingyun, and at the same time, he left the house without saying anything.

It was the first time that Chu Qingyun couldn't see a person clearly, but she didn't have time to think about Lu Jinzhou's motives, she still had a lot of things to do.

……

The General's Mansion prepared the coffin ten years ago. Although the funeral happened suddenly, under the command of Chu Qingyun, the whole General's Mansion was grieving but did not panic at all.

There were not many civil servants who came to pay their respects, but there were quite a few military generals under the general's command, and more people came spontaneously.

Chu Qingyun looked at the endless stream of people and returned the salute one by one. These people are her strength to fight against the prince, and she must treat them with caution.

At night, the last batch of people was sent away. Just as the door of the General’s Mansion was about to close, a carriage stopped at the gate of the General’s Mansion. A middle-aged man came, wearing a pink hairpin and a young woman in a yellow skirt. got out of the car.

Zhiqing helped Chu Qingyun see off the guests at the door, and immediately turned back to report to Chu Qingyun: "Girl, the people from Dongjian have arrived."

Before the words were finished, the two had arrived in the front hall, sitting on the two chairs at the main seat.

Chu Qingyun frowned, but her words were still polite: "Uncle, you have worked hard all the way! Cousin Mu Yao has worked hard!"

"I'm thirsty, let's get a cup of Biluochun first." The uncle with pockmarks on his face was not at all different from his father's character, and the first sentence he uttered with the appearance of a villain in the market was revealed.

Chu Muyao nodded frequently: "That's right, I'm going all the way, I'm starving to death, let's eat first."

……

Chu Qingyun's face darkened, the big thing is not as important as condolences.This uncle brought his daughter, did he come to step on the face of the second room of the Chu family?

"Uncle, the house is really busy today, and the hospitality is not good. Why don't you express your condolences and have dinner together after your mother finishes copying the scriptures?"

I saw Chu Muyao covered her mouth and yawned, then stood up: "I know big sister is busy, so don't worry about us, give us 20 taels of silver, and we can go to the restaurant by ourselves."

The younger brother Chu Qiuchi, who had just settled down with his mother, came to help and saw the situation at a glance.

With a flick of the copper whip in his hand, the teacup on the table fell, and the tea spilled all over the uncle.

"You little bastard, do you have eyes? Where is the whip going?"

Chu Qingyun turned around and waved Chu Qiuchi's copper whip wildly.

Uncle Chu Biguang jumped on the chair in fright, then turned his head, with an indifferent expression: "There is no banquet at home today, if uncle and sister are willing, they can stay for a light meal, if not, there are many inns outside, so feel free That's it."

Chu Muyao's eyes stood up, as ugly as an inverted triangle, she opened her mouth and roared: "How do you talk to your elders, that's how your second uncle taught you? No tutor."

Chu Qingyun held back her second younger brother, who was about to continue raising the whip, and looked at Chu Muyao with cold eyes: "Tutor? I was born as a military general of the Chu family, and I have always upheld the tutoring of doing things right and sitting upright."

"I don't know if my sister and uncle are here for a banquet? Or are they here to express their condolences?"

"you……"

"Mu'er, don't be angry, what's there to be angry with my sister." Chu Biguang changed the subject, turned around, with a smile on his face: "Qingyun, we are naturally here to express our condolences, but uncle has something to do later. Discuss with your mother."

"Mother has been in a depressed mood for the past few days, and she never wants to see outsiders. If uncle wants to see mother, he should do it early tomorrow."

Chu Biguang blushed when he said this sentence to an outsider.

Back then, when the Chu family was asked to enter Zhongzhou by Emperor Shengde, it was clearly a flattery, but in reality they were hostages, so Erfang refused to come, and even told outsiders that he had severed his brotherhood with his father.

Now, suddenly become relatives?
joke!

Chu Qingyun didn't even look at the two of them, she took the two of them to burn incense as a matter of routine, and then sent Zhiqing to the guest room to rest.

Chu Qingyun was walking on the road, recalling the contents of the book, she clearly remembered that the father and daughter did not come to Zhongzhou to help, they came to grab the family property when they saw the general was gone.

Later, the Chu family was killed, and the two even made up multiple crimes to slander their father in order to protect themselves.

Even if such a person is related by blood, Chu Qingyun doesn't care about it.

Zhiqing sent her to the guest room, and when she came back, her expression was not good. She didn't need to ask, she knew that the people over there were angry with her.

It's just that Zhiqing followed Chu Qingyun a lot more steadily, and didn't say a word in a daze.

"Zhiqing, accompany me to the general's study."

"Miss, don't go, lest you look at things and think about others, the general, his spirit in heaven, will protect the Chu family."

"Turn on the lights." Chu Qingyun had already put on her clothes on her own.

Zhiqing couldn't resist, so she could only follow her.

As soon as she went out, Chu Qingyun felt a pair of eyes behind her. She turned her head, moved her fingers, and the silver needle shot out, only to see the treetops on the wall move.

"Zhiqing, go to the small kitchen to get some snacks and send them to Qiuchi's room. I probably haven't eaten much today."

"Yes, girl."

After Zhiqing left, Chu Qingyun raised her head slowly, her words were half joking and half puzzled: "Commander Lu, is it comfortable to be the gentleman on the beam?"

"It's been a long time, it's a bit cut, come down and relax."

Lu Jinzhou jumped down from the tree, his light-colored clothes glistening in the moonlight.
