"So what?" Chu Ling didn't bother to argue with him, "Even if I force my words, what can you do to me?"
Chu Quan choked and was speechless for a long time.
Yes, what can he do to him?
Now he just has the title of third young master for free. In the past, he could still say a few words to the Chu family based on his status as the legitimate son of the second wife, but who will listen to him now?
Seeing that he fell silent, Chu Ling sneered: "You are plotting against my wife and brother at the same time. You don't really think that you can write it off after a few days in jail, do you? I only got back a little interest on the seal and IOU, and there will be a lot more to come.
Things are waiting for you."
These words were so cold that Chu Quan couldn't help but shudder, "No... you can't do this to me, I am your cousin after all..."
"Cousin?" Chu Ling was a little funny, "When you plotted against me, you never thought that I was your cousin."
The two faced each other tit for tat, their gazes sparking in the air. Chu Quan was quickly defeated, "Why don't you tell me directly, what do you need to do to let me go?"
The person who originally clamored to come to seek justice became the one who bowed his head after just a few words. Everyone present was speechless when they saw this.
Chu Ling looked at him coldly, with an evil smile on his lips, "You don't have any other bargaining chips to exchange with me, do you?"
Chu Quan collapsed on the ground, in a state of extreme embarrassment. He recalled how he couldn't wait to spend all his chips to please Chu Ling in prison. He was even stupider than a pig.
Chu Ling looked down at his embarrassed appearance without any pity in his eyes. If he hadn't been left to deal with Chu Xiu, he would have torn this guy into pieces long ago and plotted against Chu Xiu and Shi Chunquin.
Compared to what he is enduring now, it can't even be called "cruel". Using a woman's reputation as a bargaining chip to destroy her is a crime worthy of death.
"Lang Hao." Chu Ling said in a deep voice, "Send the third young master back to his room to recuperate. You are not allowed to step out of the room again without my permission."
"Yes, sir."
Chu Quan was dragged away like this, without even resisting. He was not an extremely stupid person. After making a fuss, he had clearly seen the situation. He had no capital to resist at all, and his useless struggle was just
It will make you even more embarrassed.
After driving Chu Quan away, Chu Ling was supposed to go back to his room to accompany Shi Chunqun, but when he got to the door, he changed his mind and walked to the old lady's yard instead. The second room had changed, and he should finally explain to his grandmother.
When Shi Chunquin was lying on the bed, she heard the movement in the yard gradually subsided, but Chu Ling didn't come back. She quickly woke up from her drowsiness and called Lu Tao in, "What's going on outside?"
Lu Tao quickly replied: "The uncle sent Lang Hao to take the third master back, and temporarily placed him under house arrest. Now he is explaining to the ancestors!"
"It turns out I went to my grandmother's house." Shi Chunquin muttered and got back into bed again. Then she had nothing to worry about.
Seeing her falling asleep, Lu Tao couldn't help but remind her, "Grandma, I heard that the second young lady has gone to pay respects to the county lord in the past few days, but you haven't been there for several days. Do you want to..." She left the rest
The words were not spoken, but the meaning was self-evident.
Shi Chunfen hid in the bed and was silent for a while, then quickly sat up and said, "Then you can help me get dressed."
Accompanied by Lu Tao, Shi Chunfen hurried to pay his respects to the County Lord Huating. It was still early in the morning, so she came not too late, but she was still a step later than Ji Xiaoman. When she entered the door, she saw her sitting next to the County Lord.
But I, the elder sister-in-law, arrived late, and I felt a little embarrassed at the Spring Equinox.
"I would like to greet my mother on the vernal equinox." She stepped forward bravely and saluted the head of Huating County.
Before the Huating County Lord could speak, Ji Xiaoman quickly stood up, bent down to her and said, "Xiaoman has met my sister-in-law."
The more appropriately Ji Xiaoman behaved, the more it seemed that he didn't understand the rules of the Spring Equinox. The head of Huating County snorted coldly and said displeasedly: "Get up."
Shi Chunfen stood up with a face full of shame. If she had known this, she might as well not have come today. Now she gave the head of Huating County a bad impression.
Ji Xiaoman also straightened up and returned to his seat.
Shi Chunquin stood there awkwardly, unable to walk or sit, his whole body was extremely stiff.
Seeing that she was so dull, the head of Huating County glanced at her and said angrily: "I heard that you have released Chu Quan back?"
Shi Chunfen nodded quickly, "Yes, mother, I just released the person last night."
"Yeah." Huating County Master narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "He's really given an advantage."
These words were full of resentment, and Shi Chunfen lowered his head silently, not daring to speak.
On the other hand, Ji Xiaoman, who was on the side, echoed: "He is absolutely to blame for plotting against my sister-in-law and the second master like this. If the second master hadn't been so lucky, he would have been separated from us forever!"
Every word of her words touched the heart of County Master Huating, so much so that County Master Huating turned his head and looked at her twice, "Don't worry, I will never let anyone go easily if he dares to scheme against Xiu'er."
!”
These words were meant to settle accounts with Qiu Hou. Shi Chunquin couldn't help but interject: "The uncle is not a person who makes decisions easily. Maybe he has other plans in his heart."
The head of Huating County looked at her with frost in his eyes, "You mean you don't want me to get involved?"
In normal times, Shi Chunfen would not dare to comment on the county boss's decision, but she thought that Chu Ling had worked so hard to get a deal from Chu Quan yesterday, and there must be other arrangements in the future. If the boss of Huating County intervenes rashly, it may disrupt it.
Chu Ling's plan, so she bit the bullet and said: "It would be better for mother to discuss with A Ling before making a decision."
The Lord of Huating County looked at her solemnly, his cold eyes showing no emotion or anger, but even so, Shi Chunquin still had no intention of backing down.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room began to solidify, Ji Xiaoman lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
After an unknown amount of time, the Lord of Huating County lowered his eyes, raised his red lips slightly, and said with approval: "Yes, you dare to argue with me for A Ling, and your courage has grown a lot."
Shi Chunfen breathed a sigh of relief, began to relax, and said softly: "My daughter-in-law just doesn't want things to get more complicated."
In the final analysis, Chu Quan is already a useless person, and he is not worthy of the big family's efforts. On the contrary, it will easily damage the harmony between mother and son.
If the head of Huating County can trust Chu Ling, he can leave Chu Quan to him with peace of mind. I believe that Chu Ling will never let him down.
The Lord of Huating County naturally understood the meaning of Shi Chun Equinox. She had never doubted Chu Ling's methods. What she said just now was just a momentary impulse. She looked at Shi Chun Equinox with a meaningful look and said, "Remember your confidence today.
This is the style that the eldest young lady of the Chu family should have."
