The person who came here was Zhao Kang, who had been dormant for so many years, just for this big event. He thought that his appearance would cause a storm, but he didn't want it to be completely different.
Chu Mu wasn't nervous at all!
Not excited, not excited, and doesn't seem to care much.
impossible…
Zhao Kang thought about it and couldn't find any reason to convince himself, except for one direction.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, facing danger, did Chu Mu already know his identity
"The eldest son of the emperor—"
"The eldest son of the emperor is in the palace." Chu Mu remained calm, with picturesque and elegant eyebrows and eyes, making it impossible to see the slightest emotion, "If this is all you want to say, you can leave now."
Seeing that the other party was about to call Qin Ping again, Zhao Kang immediately knelt down on one knee: "Please don't be angry, my lord, and give me another chance to speak!"
Can't let Qin Ping come over, he can't beat that person, and he managed to lure him away and sneak in!
Chu Mu closed his eyes slightly, but didn't speak, his attitude was already obvious.
Zhao Kang didn't dare to play tricks any more, and quickly said what he had engraved in his mind long ago: "An accident more than 20 years ago, the heavenly dog was on the verge of the sun, it was a bad omen, the ambition of Ping Wang's thief was replaced by the civet cat long ago." The idea of the prince, his concubine and the empress gave birth together, and with the help of heaven and earth, he secretly exchanged sons, sent his son to the empress's side, became the eldest prince, and exchanged the male fetus that the empress gave birth to!"
"This boy—is you, my lord."
He looked at Chu Mu with pain, admiration and love in his eyes.
Chu Mu didn't take this trick, and asked in a low voice: "Since King Ping is ambitious and sent his parents and children to the palace to confuse blood, why didn't he kill me and send me to the Chu family instead?"
"Young Master, you think Prince Ping doesn't want to? He just doesn't have a chance!"
Zhao Kang was full of indignation, filled with righteous indignation: "He knows that the one in his arms is not his own son, and others don't know. He has no reason to kill his own son, so he can only look for opportunities to do it. Fortunately, God has eyes, and he encountered a crisis! With too many eyes, and the fact that "a tiger's poison does not eat its son", he had to play a role in protecting his son. At this time, the daughter-in-law of Chu's parents gave birth in the hot spring village, and it was a day when the dog eats the sun... "
Chu Mu: "So you replaced me?"
Zhao Kang: "I don't know what happened at that time. It was too chaotic, but the result was correct. Many people saw that King Ping replaced the eldest son of the emperor. It was clear that you were raised in the house of Chu's parents. of!"
Chu Mu: "What about the children of the Chu family?"
Zhao Kang: "I was suffocated when I was born."
Chu Mu smiled: "Then how do you know that the child who suffocated to death is not the eldest son of the emperor, but must belong to the Chu family?"
"Because of your quilt! At that time, the villain sneaked over to look at it. Your quilt was created by the royal family, and it was definitely not obtained by the Chu family!" Zhao Kang's voice was firm and resounding, "And this In the world, is there any mother who doesn't know whether the child born is alive or dead? Young master, you have been in the Chu family for so many years, and you haven't noticed that the Chu family's attitude is wrong?"
Chu Mu's eyes drooped slightly, but he didn't speak.
It was because of noticing that I doubted it, and the self in my previous life became more and more stubborn.
Zhao Kang has been paying attention to the change of the other party's face, and immediately kowtowed his head to the ground: "My lord, you are kind, but the villain can't see it, and the villain is not fair for you!"
Chu Mu stroked the handle of the chair with his slender fingers: "Who are you?"
"The villain's name is Zhao Kang, and he is an old man from Prince Ping's mansion."
Chu Mu suddenly slapped the chair handle vigorously: "It's nonsense! Since you are an old man in Prince Ping's mansion, why did you betray the master!"
Zhao Kang: "A villain has a hard conscience..."
Chu Mu squinted his eyes: "Even if you are high-minded and don't want to join forces, why haven't you exposed it? Haven't come to find me? King Ping has been dead for many years, and he has no power for a long time. It doesn't do any harm to you. Why is it now, tonight? ?”
Zhao Kang suddenly didn't dare to look up at Chu Mu again.
The past has become dust, and it is difficult to trace back and examine carefully. He knew that Chu Mu would not be able to find out all the facts, but he never expected that Chu Mu would not believe him at all! It is impossible for him to fabricate many facts out of thin air, and he cannot fabricate them. It must have happened before he can say this!
In an instant, the other party's eyes were extremely calm, but instead they were deep and terrifying. His heart beat violently, and he was a little panicked.
"Little man... people are light-hearted, and nothing happened back then that I saw with my own eyes. I can't produce any evidence. I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the sage will be hard to believe. Besides, although King Ping died and the house collapsed, there were still many loyal old people in the early years. They...recognized Little man, if a villain dares to stand out, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't be able to see the Holy Majesty, and I will be silenced!"
Chu Mu didn't speak, the room could hear needles falling, and it was depressingly quiet.
Zhao Kang's brain turned to the extreme, his body was extremely low, and his forehead was pressed against the cold ground: "The villain... is guilty. I have been hesitating and wavering before, and I didn't make a choice. It is really the young master's ability and talent. The villain can't help it. I want to Ask for a Conglong…”
Chu Mu laughed straight away: "Conglong Zhigong? Do you think I will believe it?"
"Young Master is definitely not an ordinary person!" Zhao Kang was very excited, his fingers were trembling, and he was very anxious, "Young is indeed guilty, not loyal enough, and has many worries. Seeing that Young Master is seriously ill, he has been holding back, but now it is different. , that fake civet cat in the palace is about to die of illness, the crown prince sees the superior, if you don’t move now, you will have no chance in the future! And the Chiman mission is full of ambitions, this will disrupt the situation, it is the time for the prince to rise !"
"There's also this medicine—the villain found it for you."
Zhao Kang took something out of his sleeve pocket.
"I don't know why, the young master's condition is very similar to that of the first prince. This thing can heal the first prince, and it will definitely heal the young master."
When Chu Mu saw that thing, his pupils suddenly tightened.
Cold pine smoke!
This is exactly what the Chiman mission dropped!
However, no matter how surprised he was in his heart, Chu Mu didn't show a single point: "Where did you get this thing?"
Zhao Kang: "The black market. I have exhausted all the wealth of the villain. If the young master still doesn't believe it, the villain will only have the last thing—"
He took out a jade pendant.
Strictly speaking, it's half a block.
It is white and flawless, carved with patterns of fish and dragons, dazzling the eyes, and it is extraordinary at first glance.
Chu Mu was very familiar with this jade pendant, because the other half was on him, and he had it since he was a child. As for why it was half a piece, his family said that he was naughty when he was a child and broke it himself. .
Seeing that Chu Mu remained silent for a long time, Zhao Kang finally had a kind of confidence that he was "under control". He lowered his eyelids with a respectful gesture: "Everything that happened in the past is just a blunder, isn't your son curious at all?"
"Young Master Zhifeng has a deep heart, and the villain came here in a hurry. He knew that it would be difficult to win the trust of the young master, so he dared not say more. These two things are dedicated to the young master. The villain will leave first. If the young master wants to know or has any plans, just say hello One sound, the villain will come!"
After finishing speaking, he retreated, leaving cleanly.
The room became quiet again.
Xie Tingyue came out from behind the screen, frowning slightly: "What do you think?"
Chu Mu held his hand, and the smile reappeared on the corners of his lips, slightly moist: "Where's Madam? Do you think what he said is true?"
Xie Tingyue sighed: "I almost believed it..."
The scene just now was too exciting, and the amount of information was too rich. If it hadn't been for the rebirth, the concentration and xinxing had increased, and the other party would definitely be confused.
It's not that you are smart, you can always avoid the trap, no difficulty is not a difficulty, smart people will also fall into obstacles and be confused.
Who in the world doesn't want wealth and imperial power? Captivating eyes and tempting people, when a huge surprise comes, people often can't see what's hidden underneath, or in other words, don't want to see it at all.
It just so happened that Chu Mu had doubts about his life experience again, what the other party said and what he took out were all powerful...
"It took this person so long to find you. If he only said that he was loyal, you would not believe it. But he revealed his intentions, and he was not sincere enough, which cleared up some doubts—people are always willing to sacrifice more for their own interests. many."
"Half the talk, leave the other half, there are enough doubts, and enough explosive points, plus the vote-" Xie Tingyue looked at the cold pine cigarettes and half jade pendant on the table, "You can't not be interested. This person is scheming It's very deep, and the method is enough, no matter how true or false what you say, you and I must be cautious in making decisions."
Chu Mu looked at Xie Tingyue with a serious face, and heaved a long sigh.
In his previous life, he was not so smart.
In addition to being seriously ill, life has nothing to love, all kinds of unwillingness, always want to use various methods to prove that he has gone through this world once, and then exile himself, just as others wished.
Fortunately, with a wife in this life, he can't mess around, and he can't bear to mess around. He still wants to save his life and live with his wife forever.
"At least this jade is real." Chu Mu stretched out his hand to pick up the half of the jade pendant, the white jade was moist and radiant between his slender fingers.
Xie Tingyue: "What next? How?"
The corners of Chu Mu's lips were lightly raised, and his smile was quite meaningful: "Wait for him to come to me."
Xie Tingyue: "But he seems to be waiting for your call."
"I can't help it. My husband is weak and sick, so he's not good at walking." Chu Mu smiled and leaned on Xie Tingyue.
Xie Tingyue also understood now that the fight is about whoever is in a hurry and whoever is stable, if one side sits on the Diaoyutai, the one who is in a hurry will panic, and whoever panics will have an accident and show his feet.
Same as the second aunt before.
"What happened back then..."
Xie Tingyue was very curious about this.
Chu Mu looked over the window, and his voice was as dim and clear as the night: "I feel... We will know the answer soon."
…
Qingxi's reply finally came.
Xie Tingyue's guess was right, she was indeed a member of the Jiangnan Hang family, and she was a direct descendant, because she wanted to follow Xiao Yunfeng wholeheartedly, she had a fierce quarrel with her family, and her relationship was not good at one time, but her grandmother loved her very much, and now the head of the Jiangnan family The person is her grandmother.
Hang Qingxi also said in the letter that she knew Yan Hong, but Yan Hong didn't know her, and the two had never met on formal occasions. Grandmother acts upright, and she is open and close in business. Winning her is a skill, and she never cares about it, but she doesn't like to see people who play tricks. She couldn't stand Yan Hong's matter, and her grandmother would not cover it up, and she didn't need to write a special letter to intercede. If Xie Tingyue was asked to wait, her grandmother would definitely not favor Yan Hong.
At the end of the letter, Hang Qingxi also mentioned another matter. Grandma seems to have the intention of going to Beijing recently. She is worried that the old man is getting old and in poor health. Take care of one or two.
Xie Tingyue responded to the letter, and no longer worried about Xie Ru's subsequent methods.
Sure enough, not long after, news came back from Jiangnan that the Hang family not only failed to support Yan Hong as Xie Ru wished, but instead gave him a hard lesson, and even accused him of sending a lot of amends to Xie Tingyue in the capital.
Although Yan Hong suffered a great loss in Qing County, and was wiped out by Xie Tingyuekeng's family wealth, but it was his own heart, and he had a crooked idea first. Besides, each business depends on one's ability, Xie Tingyue did not bully or rob, everything was Yan Hong's own willingness to do, and he had to admit it after learning the lesson.
If you have a crooked mind to harm others, and you do something, you have to apologize to others.
As for Xie Ru, there is nothing left. Yan Hong ruined Lin's Xie Ru's reputation with great fanfare, and it was exaggerated, but it was Lin's first idea, and Yan Hong didn't owe the other party at all.
Xie Ru was so angry that his face turned black from stealing the chicken!
If I knew this earlier, I might as well have killed Yan Hong first! Now it's all right, the Hang family punished Yan Hong severely, and tightly locked him in Jiangnan to prevent him from moving. Instead, he became a protection, and she couldn't even find a chance to strike!
It doesn't matter to Xie Tingyue, Yan Hong is not in the right mind, he discovered it early, he didn't suffer any substantial harm, and he even made the other party suffer a lot, and now he even gave him an apology... what do you care about
In his heart, he just turned the whole thing over and over again, as long as Yan Hong no longer stares at him to play tricks, he will sell the face of the Hang family.
The battle between Xie Ru and Xie Tingyue lasted for more than two months, Xie Ru was aggressive from the very beginning to the final collapse of the building, and Xie Tingyue was a little surprised.
Although he doesn't like this cheap younger sister, he is sure of her intelligence. Xie Ru is a fast learner, and her heart is also very tenacious, so she won't lose so fast and so ruthlessly. He originally had a big plan, and wanted to hit the other party hard at the end...
Xie Tingyue felt that something was wrong, so she asked someone to ask, and found that Xie Ru was ill, seriously ill, so she didn't have the mental and physical strength to fight him.
Logically, he shouldn't know about the affairs of other people's houses, but who told him to have a husband who cultivated a bunch of spies' news channels
These people who are raised in secret know martial arts, gossip, devote 120,000 points to their work, are omnipotent, dare to drill into any crack, and dare to eavesdrop on any scene.
Long Qinglin is formidable, an official appointed by the court, has a deep scheming mind, and has a lot of ways to control people, but he doesn't know martial arts. Even if the Long family's servants see through something, they dare not say it. Chu Mu's people are different.
Xie Tingyue then knew that Xie Ru was being bullied, but she herself... didn't seem to realize it.
The pain is on her body, it is impossible not to care, Xie Tingyue feels that Xie Ru just doesn't understand, or she is struggling and refuses to admit this fact.
Xie Tingyue considers herself not the Holy Father, and wants to influence all mankind with kindness, but Xie Ru repeatedly disgusts him. It is one thing to be taught a lesson, and another thing to be hurt like this—
He thought for a while, and then sent a message to ask Mama Luo to visit Xie Ru at Long's house, and go back to find a way to wake Lin up.
Little girls don't understand such things, but mothers always understand.
Chu Mu watched him do these things, and rubbed the top of his hair: "Madam is always too soft-hearted."
Xie Tingyue denied: "That's not true, you know how powerful the Lin family is. She went to Long's house to make a fuss, and the dogs bit and pinched each other, so no one would pay attention to me and ruin my business."
Chu Mu smiled and gnawed on the back of Xie Tingyue's hand: "Duplicity."
Xie Tingyue hummed: "Anyway, I still have to deal with the mother and daughter."
Chu Mu: "Unfortunately, this time, I'm afraid I will disappoint Madam."
Xie Tingyue didn't understand this: "Why?"
Chu Mu nodded his nose: "To Lin, Xie Ru is just a daughter."
