After being divorced, the concubine became the first lady

Chapter 23

Chu Jingde didn't know what happened specifically. That day, when he learned that the imperial concubine's mother-in-law had bribed He's mother-in-law and asked Wang Da to frame Chu Jinjin, he almost breathed out of anger.

He was worried about his son, whether Chu Jinjin could escape the plot of those around him, and even more worried about the future of the Chu family.

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, but they were still the most popular concubines.

He has not been involved in family affairs for many years. He has a son and a daughter-in-law, but he has not left bed in the past few days. If it were not for the spies planted by the old housekeeper, he would have been kept in the dark.

However, the informant has grown old, and now he is just idle. He only vaguely heard someone talking about the eldest lady having tied up the medicine hall shopkeeper.

The old eyeliner feels a little abnormal.

The shopkeeper of the medicine hall has been working hard for many years, but why did he come to Chu Mansion for no reason and still be kidnapped?

Something big must have happened at the medicine hall.

The old housekeeper personally found the people around Wang, but he didn't ask anything.

Apparently Wang gave the order to die.

Today's Chu family is in turmoil. If you make a mistake, you may be doomed. The old housekeeper hesitated for a moment, but still reported the truth.

Then, the two old brothers came to kill him.

The carriage was bumpy along the way, and Chu Jingde felt that his old bones and internal organs were about to fall apart. He coughed, breathless and narrowed his eyes: "What happened?"

At least seven or eight nurses were lying on the ground. Their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and they looked like they had broken bones. The most serious one was covered in blood, and the medicine boy was reluctant to bandage it.

The leader of the nursing home swallowed hard: "I was beaten by the third lady."

Chu Jingde was stunned but did not think about Chu Jinjin: "That third lady?"

Chu Jinjin went to Black Eagle Village. According to the normal journey, even if she rescued people immediately, she would not be able to come back until the day after tomorrow.

The leader of the nursing home glanced at the room: "Just, it's in the fifth lady's room."

Chu Jingde: "."

The old housekeeper thought he was wrong, frowned and asked nonsense: "Be clear, who is the fifth lady?"

It's not that he doesn't have a rich imagination, even if the master quietly revealed that Chu Jinjin knows some Kung Fu, but this is a group of nursing homes, how can a wealthy lady be able to do it.

"The fifth lady of the Lord." The leader of the nursing home felt that he would have to call her by her first name if he continued speaking, but he understood the reason for this reaction and said seriously, "The third lady's kung fu is very powerful. None of us are opponents, she, she"

I didn’t dare to say the next words.

The third lady was not only powerful, but also a ruthless character. She cut off two fingers with a knife without blinking an eye, and even put the knife on the neck of the eldest lady.

Chu Jingde's body swayed, he held the old housekeeper's arm and asked word by word: "Where is Zu Jian, are you coming back together?"

He felt like there shouldn't be.

There is a high probability that he was injured during the journey and went to his own medicine hall for treatment. However, he came back one after another.

Only then did the leader of the nursing home understand what had happened. As soon as he said a word, he saw that the old man seemed to have recovered from a dead tree, and rushed towards the medicine hall with quick steps.

The people inside had heard it and came over to pay their respects.

Chu Jingde couldn't see anything.

He had three sons in his life. When the first son was born, he was still a street vendor with little money. The son fell ill and died when he was one year old, and the second son also passed away when he was five years old.

God seems to want to compensate him. Chu Zijian has been healthy since he was a child, and he is better than his predecessors. In just a few years, the Chu family has become the top ten richest people in the capital.

That was not only a son he was proud of, but also the support of his life.

Chu Jingde's eyes were straight, and he walked over step by step. His hands covered with age spots were shaking. He looked at his unconscious son with an old and hoarse voice: "He, what happened to him?" The doctor knew. Chu Jingde's condition couldn't bear any stimulation. It would be fatal to tell such a big thing. He subconsciously looked at Wang with an embarrassed face. Thinking that this person was one of the culprits, he turned to Chu Jinjin for help.

Chu Jinjin considered it for a moment and whispered: "Grandpa, I told you to hold on."

This matter cannot be hidden.

My grandfather has experienced so many storms in his life. It is better to tell him the truth than to hide it. The Chu family also needs him now.

"Let me tell you." Wang's face was pale and her eyes were full of despair, "Father, my daughter-in-law is unfilial and raised a child."

Chu Jingde suddenly interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Let's go home and talk."

After saying this, he suddenly burst into tears.

He weeps for himself and his son,

As a father himself, he knew what kind of pain it was.

Chu Jinjin's eyes were sore for the first time. She was not afraid of getting hurt, but her grandfather's tears were sharper than knives.

Wang suddenly burst into tears and slapped herself hard: "Father, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Chu Yan also cried and hugged his mother's arm.

The medicine hall was filled with cries, and with Chu Zijian lying unconscious, it seemed like it had turned into a mourning hall.

How could a good home become like this?

The loud and festive suona sounded in the distance. Chu Jinjin didn't think much about it at first, until she noticed that Mrs. Liu, who was pretending to cry with her head down, suddenly looked up and looked outside, silently swearing.

Chu Jinjin blurted out: "Xu Wenda is getting married today?"

Everyone forgot to cry and wiped away tears and looked at each other.

Today is the day when Xu Wenda marries the imperial concubine's sister.

Committing suicide because of a man not only brought disgrace to the family, but also brought disgrace to the royal family. It is said that the imperial concubine asked for grace, and in the end the Queen Mother came forward to propose marriage.

Anyway, it’s already like this, and there’s no need to go through the three-media, six-employment process. Get married as soon as possible and let this matter go.

Today happens to be an auspicious day.

Chu Jinjin picked up the steel knife and walked out.

"Jinjin, don't be impulsive." Mrs. Liu was frightened. Her revenge was limited to going to the door to yell at someone and beheading them, which was a serious crime of beheading.

"I'll get the dowry." Chu Jinjin is not stupid. It's not worth dying for such a scumbag. He can marry whomever he wants. It has nothing to do with her, but the dowry is hers.

With the Xu family's financial resources, there is no way they can afford a wedding related to the royal family. They are late, and if it is used, they can't write an IOU.

The blood on the steel knife in her hand was still wet. She had knocked down dozens of guards, and no one dared to force her to do so.

Chu Jingde had no time to feel sad and smiled sadly: "Jinjin, we must swallow this breath for the time being."

His son was unconscious, and now the Xu family couldn't afford to offend him. Before he could do anything, he began to secretly plot. This time, Wang Da might use more sinister tricks next time.

"Grandpa, do you think she will let us go even if we deliberately try to please you?" Chu Jinjin had already figured it out. Just like in the end of the world, showing weakness is of no use. It will only make the other person more unscrupulous. Instead, it is better to fight hard to scare Don't stop being scared. If you can't help being scared, you will bite him.

Chu Jingde was speechless.

He suddenly felt that he was getting older, less timid, and less capable.

Chu Jinjin promised seriously, "Grandpa, please go home and wait with peace of mind. I can save my father and protect the Chu family."
