Chapter 12: The Cost of the Chapter (12 points)
Chu Xue'er stood in front of the Blue Mansion for half a day, and indeed it was peaceful. She wondered if the people inside were hiding the news? This is also possible, to save face, can't make a big deal out of it?
"After some thought, she softly said to Lan Zixun, 'Then let's go with what we just discussed... alright?'"
Lan Zhi hesitated and nodded slightly.
Chu Ke ordered Qing Guo to find the old woman who had delivered the message again. She planned to make her a scapegoat, saying that she had forgotten to report back because of drinking wine. In front of the Lan family, she would have to scold and beat her a few times to show her attitude. The servants of the Lan household would still be handed over for punishment, and then reward this old woman with some benefits.
Qing Guo agreed and went, the two of them sat in the car waiting. Chu Ke had something on her mind that she wanted to say to Lan Zhi, but this Ninth Young Lady seemed distracted, not thinking about anything, with a faint redness around her eyes, as if she had suffered infinite grievances, staring blankly at some place inside the car.
Chu Ke looked at her like this, and worried that it might be entangled with her brother... or maybe not ask, if there is really entanglement, let the brother solve it.
Some noisy voices came from outside, Lan Zhi was still in a daze, and her little fat maid quietly pulled open the curtain of the carriage to take a peek. Chu Ke also took a look, and saw that about ten or so servants came out of the gate of the Lan Mansion, dispersing in all directions, some going left, some right, and some walking towards this side.
Lan Zhi was startled, and hastily covered the car curtains. Xiao Pang's face turned white as she looked back at her, and Chu Kui asked in a low voice, "It seems like they're looking for someone?"
"Blue Orchid nodded, it must be Big Brother..." Her face showed a frightened expression.
Chu Ke was frowning and about to ask again when those two people walked by beside the car while talking.
"Is this okay? Isn't it too much? Not a few words less?"
"Whether it works or not, Master and everyone else are all set, what kind of heart are we using!"
"I heard that Gansu is very poor, and there's no one left in my hometown. To think of a delicate girl like you going to such a place, tsk, it's really pitiful."
"We'll talk about it when we find it! It's not time yet..."
……
The two of them said, Chu Kei saw Lan Zhi's face had greatly changed, and she looked up in shock and panic, hurriedly whispering to ask: "Is it... going to be sent back to the old home? Gansu?"
Lan Zhi nodded and said with a sobbing voice, "I'm afraid... Big Brother will not let me off lightly!"
"Chu Qian said hurriedly, 'Can't I go and explain it to them? If not...I'll find someone with a good relationship with our family to come forward.'"
"It doesn't matter what anyone says! Once we leave, my big brother will definitely send me back to the countryside... He warned me last time, if I get into trouble again, he'll definitely send me back to the countryside!"
"Doesn't Father care?"
"He? He doesn't care about me..."
Chu Xue asked, "This is a bit of a headache, can it be done?" She asked Lan Zixun, "Do you think... there's a good way to do it?"
Blue Orchid sniffled and shook her head, "I have no choice!"
"Really? Alright then!" Chu Ke replied subconsciously.
Xiao Pang's maid also started crying and said "Young master will definitely beat me to death, I won't..."
Lan Zhi looked at Chu Ke and shouted, "Take me back to Qing Ci Hutong! I'm going to find Zhu Yuhuan!"
Chu Xue really had a hard time, Ming Jiuniang might be sent to the countryside, she certainly couldn't send her, but sending her to her brother's side... This doesn't count as a big deal!
She thought for a moment and could only say to Ninth Miss, "Alright, let's go back to the Chu Mansion first. I'll discuss it with my grandfather and see if we can get him to go find Duke Lan and put in a good word."
Lan Zhi nodded slightly after a moment of thought, she was young but not foolish, she knew that the Chu family was afraid to go find Zhu Yuhuan and cause him trouble! She could only nod.
Just then Qing Guo led the old woman over, and the old woman was quite excited, thinking that the young lady was going to reuse her. If it were San Gu Niang who had found her, she would have been made a scapegoat, and would probably be blinded by anger.
Fortunately, it's no longer needed now, Chu Ke instructed the carriage to return to the Chu Mansion.
Chu Kei's hair was tangled with worries all the way, it really didn't go well, this matter... mainly because Ninth Miss and Brother had a relationship, handling it was a bit tricky.
Leading the blue cloth back to the courtyard, the maids and servants saw her and hid, hiding and whispering behind her back, which was very different from usual. Chu Kei worried about Zhu Yuxuan and hurriedly asked Qing Guo "Has she just returned to the courtyard?"
"The green fruit shook its head and said, 'This old lady is from outside the courtyard, go find her directly.'"
Chu Ke's heart was a bit heavy, and he walked quickly. When he arrived at the courtyard, he turned his head to smile at Lan Xi and said, "Ninth Miss, please wait in the side room for a moment, I'll be right back."
Lan Zhi nodded silently and followed Qing Guo to the side room.
Chu Xue had no time to take care of her emotions, she hastily ran back to the house, as soon as she entered the door, she felt something was wrong, there wasn't even a maid at the door! She shouted "Jing Er!" As soon as she entered the room, her whole body stiffened! Zhu Yue Chen was nowhere to be seen on the bed!
Her mind went blank for a moment! She hastily turned around and rushed out, shouting "Jing'er? Jing'er?" as she emerged. Her voice was trembling.
Qing Guo rushed out of the wing room and hastily asked the young lady:
Chu Xue didn't answer and instead kept walking out, when she reached the outer yard, after a moment's thought, she immediately ran towards Lao Tai Tai.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw several old women standing at the gate, peeking inside and calling out "Third Sister is here!"
Several old women immediately dispersed, but they all watched her from a distance, their eyes... clearly with ulterior motives!
Chu Xue didn't need to guess anymore, she had already seen that in the old lady's courtyard, two maids were being pressed down on a long bench by two women and were being spanked, it was indeed Jing Er and Bai Guo! Under the eaves of the house, Jing Er's mother was kneeling.
She walked away, and the woman stopped her board and looked at her. As soon as she stopped, a voice came from inside, "Isn't it enough?" It was Mrs. Meng's voice.
The old lady hastily replied, "Third sister has arrived."
Men's eyes paused for a moment, then said, "Old lady asked, does San Niang have anything to do with these two maids?! Who dares not listen to the old lady's words?!"
Their kung fu was so swift that Chu Kei had already rushed up to Jing Er and Bai Guo, loudly asking "Where is Master Bi?"
Jing'er and Bai Guo were both crying, Jing'er trembled as she pointed to the old lady's house, Chu Keqian immediately turned around and went in, saying "Don't worry, I'll settle accounts with you all later!"
The old lady heard that San Guniang had moved Lao Ye out and was really frightened. Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Chu Kui Xi walked towards the house, Men Shi came out with a helpless expression to block her. Chu Kui Xi shouted loudly "I'm going all out today and don't care about losing face! Who dares to stop me!"
Men's hesitation, Chu Kei had already rushed into the house, saw Zhu Yuxuan kneeling on the ground, the old lady got up from half of her body, staring at her in shock and anger, sternly shouting: "Chu Kei! You have no shame at all! Not yet married, actually hiding a man in the house!"
Chu Ke didn't pay attention to her, rushed forward and quickly helped Zhu Ye up, asking in a low voice "Second brother, how's your injury?" Seeing that there was no blood on his lips, he looked down and saw that the wound on his abdomen had already started bleeding, and the loose long gown outside was also stained red with blood!
Chu Ke was furious! Zhu Yi Zhen hastily pulled her back and whispered, "It's okay, I'm fine! Ke, it's our fault, let's apologize to grandma."
Chu Xue's face turned purple with rage, she turned her head to look at the old lady, and the old lady was even more furious than her, pounding on the table shouting "Shameless! Shameless!" Come here, lock up Third Young Miss immediately! Tell Second Master to leave immediately!
"This remark made Chu Keqi furious, and coupled with Zhu Yichen's wound that had just stopped bleeding, it was a complete relapse! She shouted angrily, 'Can't you see he's injured?! Are you intentionally trying to ruin my reputation? Do you want to make me another Chu Yunqing?!"
Men's inverted suction cool air, Zhu Yucheng was also a bit surprised, hurriedly pulled her to persuade her not to say it, Ke Ai, don't say that, this is...
"This is disobedience! Unfilial piety! Not human!" The old lady was furious, her whole body trembling with rage, pointing at Chu Kei and shouting repeatedly for someone to come! Take her out and flog her forty times! Fifty! Beat this disobedient wretch to death! Drive Zhu Yuanchen out for me!" Her shaking finger pointed at Men Shi, who was so frightened that his whole body went soft, unable to think of a solution even with his quick wit.
Chu Xue had already helped Zhu Yi Zhen walk out, "Second Brother, lie down first..."
"Ke'er?" Zhu Yuxuan called out.
"Chu Xiang's wound is the most important thing! I can't think of anything else!"
Zhu Yichan had no choice but to ignore the old lady's thunderous roar behind him, and with her support, the two of them walked out on their own.
The old lady was so angry that she almost fainted, but perhaps because she was afraid of the third girl's boldness in causing such a big disaster, her voice was even louder than the old lady's. Perhaps it was also because the maids and servants felt that the old lady's orders this time had exceeded her status, anyway, the old lady shouted behind her back to "beat Chu Kei to death", but no one dared to come up.
The usually forward Mrs. Meng today also pretended to be silly and foolish, staring at the door as if she was stunned.
Chu Ke walked into the courtyard and shouted loudly, "You two still don't come to serve!"
Only Jing'er and Bai Guo reacted, the two hastily pulled up their pants and cried as they ran after them. Those few women did not stop them for a moment, watching with wide eyes as they ran away!
When they reached the entrance, Chu Kei suddenly instructed Qing Guo to hurry up and invite the old man. Qing Guo responded and ran quickly.
A group of wounded returned to the yard. (If you like this work, welcome to subscribe and reward on Starting Point Website (), your support is my greatest motivation.)
