Chapter 293

After Chu Shoufu visited the Marquis of Jiangning, he asked Tang Yang to see the Marquis of Jiangning back to the hall in person. He did not go in and looked at Madam Xi again. He was relieved when he heard Yuan Qingling's words.

Yuan Qingling went to the main hall to stop him.

Yuan Qingling's eyes raised and said, "Maybe Chu can go to Dekang Teahouse to ask, the rumors outside originated from Dekang Teahouse."

Shoufu Chu looked at her and after a long time, he slowly said: "Well, thank you princess."

He and Xiaoyao Gong walked out and stood on the long street. His green clothes were blown up by the wind, and his snow-white hair shone brightly under the morning sun.

It was cold and the people coming and going had already added cotton coats.

He led the horse and walked slowly. Xiaoyao Gong followed him, wanting to say a few words to him, but he felt that the scene in front of him was like the eve of the battle they were in the desert, because, perhaps in that battle, everyone knew that it was a tragic battle, and perhaps no one could go back, so he didn't say a word.

Now, Chu Da, who was in his late years, experienced a tragic battle last night, which was also a critical moment of life and death.

They were at the corner and parted ways.

The servant Chu still walked alone with his horse, and the servant followed him from afar, not daring to move forward.

At first, Chu Shoufu's back was lonely, and his shadow formed a dark circle on the ground.

Slowly, he straightened his waist and turned his back on the horse. The warm sun shone on his body, and there was no temperature at all. He exuded a great cold air.

The attendant rode his horse and chased after him.

One in front and one behind, three horses ran wildly into Chu's mansion.

He didn't need to go to Dekang Teahouse to investigate anymore. When he left the palace last night, he had already ordered his servants to investigate, and the results of the investigation were handed over to him in the early morning.

Chu Mansion.

The pillars of the Chu family did not come back all night last night.

This is unprecedented unless the tolerance is out.

In the past, even if you go to have a drink, you would order someone to come back and inform me first.

But after he left early yesterday morning, he never came back, as if he was silent.

Fortunately, when he went out early in the morning, he said that he wanted to go to the palace to accompany the Supreme Emperor.

Therefore, the old man of the Chu family ordered people to inquire outside the palace several times, but the guard of the palace gate said that the head of Chu had left the palace in the afternoon yesterday and had never been in since then.

This made the Chu family members very anxious.

Chu Shoufu has always been alone and has almost no friends outside of business.

In addition to Xiaoyao Duke, he has lost contact with Xiaoyao Duke in recent years, and there are even rumors that the two have had a feud outside.

So, the Chu family was really anxious all night.

Even Chu Mingcui was alarmed. Chu Mingcui was anxious and took King Qi back to his parents' home early in the morning.

When the Shoufu Chu returned to the outside of Chu's house, the concierge excitedly stepped forward to greet him, "Master, are you back? Master, and the others are almost anxious."

When he saw that Chu Shoufu was covered in white hair, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Shoufu Chu handed the horse to the gatekeeper and turned around to instruct the attendants, "Go in and pass on my orders. Everyone in the mansion will meet in the main hall, and they will all."

He stressed a little, then walked inside with his hands behind his back.

He ordered a few more people to go out and bring a few people to the mansion.

He stood in front of the Taishi chair in the main hall, looking at the flat forehead hanging in the inner hall, with four words on the flat forehead "Guipu Shouzhu"!

These four words were written by him personally ten years ago.

At that time, no one in the mansion took these four words seriously and felt that they were not majestic at all.

Some people even proposed that the four words "popular ambition" should be replaced.

He thought that if these four words were hung over time, they would eventually understand the meaning of them.

"Come on, take a piece of characters from my room and replace this flat forehead." Shoufu Chu ordered slowly.

The housekeeper came up and bowed and asked, "I don't know which one do you want, sir?"

Shoufu Chu turned around and looked at the butler, "It was me who wrote those four words a few days ago."

The housekeeper was stunned, "What are you talking about? Are you talking about the four words of arrogant and domineering?...Isn't this suitable?"

A few days ago, the second lady was determined to marry the King of Chu, and went on a hunger strike in the boudoir and even insulted the Princess of Chu. The master wrote the four words "arrogant and domineering" in the study.

"As long as you do!" Shoufu Chu ordered in a deep voice.

He has always been majestic and cannot be refuted. As soon as this was said, even if the butler had many questions, he had to go and arrange it.

When the Chu family heard that he came back, they said they wanted to gather the people in the mansion, so they hurried out, and even the mute old lady was helped out.

The chief minister sat only on the main seat, looking at the anxious wives, concubines and descendants, Chu Mingyang also came, with a cold expression and a cold look on his face.

He said nothing, his face was solemn.

Everyone was shocked. Why did they go out for a night and turn their heads white?

Uncle Chu was anxious and asked, "Father, what happened? Why did your hair turn white?"

The eyes of Mr. Chu and the eldest wife shaved their faces like a cold knife, but they still didn't say a word.

Everyone was so scared that they didn't dare to make a sound and looked at each other.

Until the butler brought someone to change the forehead, everyone was shocked when they saw the words hanging on them, which turned out to be four arrogant and domineering words.

The King of Qi and the Princess of Qi Chu Mingcui also arrived. When the King of Qi saw the Master Chu and saw these four words, he was stunned and walked up to ask, "Grandfather, why are you?"

"King of Qi!" Chu Shoufu's voice was slightly deeper, "Do you think it is appropriate to use arrogance to describe the Chu family today?"

The King of Qi was stunned for a moment and looked around everyone. Everyone was still glimpsing each other and was at a loss.

Among those present were several masters and wives from the Chu family, as well as the grandchildren of the chief minister. Most of the grandchildren were adults, and some had already married children.

King Qi hesitated for a moment, "Grandfather, I really don't know how to answer your words."

"Just say it just." Shoufu Chu said lightly.

The servant served a cup of tea, but he didn't move. Since last night, he has never eaten a bite of rice or drank a sip of water.

His liver fire was tormented and his heart was burning. This cup of water could not be extinguished.

When the King of Qi wanted to speak, Chu Mingcui touched his elbow, then went out and whispered: "Grandfather, granddaughter believes that no one in the Chu family is arrogant and domineering. At most, it is because of the confidence that the Chu family is neither humble nor arrogant. It depends on the grandfather to have such confidence."

Shoufu Chu laughed. His smile was cold and weird. He stared at Chu Mingcui, "Isn't it humble or arrogant?"

The eyes scared Chu Mingcui immediately hid behind the King of Qi and did not dare to speak anymore.

"Grandfather, what's wrong with you?" The eldest son of the Chu family couldn't help but ask.

Chu Shoufu slowly turned the jade ring in his hand, and his eyes fell on Mrs. Chu's face, staring at her, making her heart shudder.

She laughed dryly, "Father, you have something to say. If you stare at your daughter-in-law like this, your daughter-in-law will feel very uneasy."

After Chu Shoufu and the butler removed the flat forehead of the four words "Guipu, Shouzhu", they stared at Mrs. Chu and said, "I am outside and I heard some quite vicious rumors."

When Mrs. Chu heard this, her heart roared a few times, but then she calmed down. Even if her father heard those words, those who did not hurt her father's reputation were all for Madam Xi.

Moreover, who knows who spread these rumors? She can't be investigated.

Even if she was investigated, she married into the Chu family for so many years, worked hard to manage family affairs, serve the husband and aunt, and spread the roots for the Chu family, so her father would not treat her for a slave.
