Chapter 370 Who would be more unfilial than your second uncle?
Everyone fell silent, with serious expressions on their faces.
Chu Ling's arrival undoubtedly gave them hope, but more importantly, it gave them despair. Regardless of whether they could win this battle, how could Huang Yifu let them off so easily?
"It's over now!" Chu Gui spoke first, his anxiety visible to the naked eye, "No matter whether Liuzhou City can be saved or not, we will definitely become Huang Yifu's bargaining chip to blackmail A Ling. What should we do now?"
"You don't have to worry about that." Aunt Liu pointed to the wound on Shi Chunfen's neck and said indifferently: "The ones who should be threatened have already been threatened. I think he won't come to trouble us for the time being."
After her reminder, everyone noticed a deep pinch mark on Shi Chunfen's neck, which was obviously the work of Huang Yifu.
"How could this happen?" Cao Yingchun gasped in fright. She leaned in front of Shi Chunfen, looked at her wounds carefully, and said in surprise: "That General Huang wants to strangle you to death?"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Shi Chunfen smiled bitterly and said lightly: "He just wants to use me to threaten A Ling..."
"Did A Ling fall into the trap?" the old lady asked worriedly.
Shi Chunfen quickly shook her head, "No."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but soon realized that something was wrong, "He didn't fall into the trap, so he just let you be strangled to death by Huang Yifu?" The person who spoke was Yu Atu, and it was rare for her to stand up for the injustice of the Spring Equinox.
, causing the old lady to give her a blank look.
Shi Chunfen quickly said: "Am I okay?"
"You can't say that." Xue Jinxiu said in a rare voice: "Now all of us are on the chopping block. If he doesn't even care about the safety of his wife, will he care about the rest of us?"
"Yes!" Chu Shun quickly agreed: "Isn't today the day for you to visit your eldest brother in prison? Since Huang Yifu knew how to use you to threaten A Ling, he must have dragged his eldest brother into the water. Don't tell me that he even
Don’t you care about your father’s safety?”
When these words came out, everyone fell silent and looked at the Spring Equinox with gloating faces.
Regardless of whether she admits it or not, both answers are detrimental to Chu Ling.
The former shows that Chu Ling disowns his relatives, and the latter shows that he is heartless and unjust. No matter how she answers, these people can find a loophole to attack Chu Ling.
Just when everyone thought she would find excuses to deny Chu Ling, Shi Chunfen glanced at everyone and said coldly: "So what? How did you suppress him one by one in the beginning? Father did not hesitate to fight with his own son to protect you.
You went against each other, and now the father and son are at odds with each other, thanks to your efforts."
Seeing that she had beaten him down and put the responsibility for Chu Ling's cold-blooded ruthlessness on them, everyone's expressions changed and they said dissatisfied: "What do you mean, thanks to our merits, what does it have to do with us that he chose to be an unfilial son?" The one who spoke
There is no doubt that the person is Chu Shun. Ever since he fell out with Dafang, he doesn't even want to pretend anymore.
Shi Chunfen chuckled and said sarcastically: "In terms of being unfilial, who in the entire Chu family can be more unfilial than you, my second uncle?"
Chu Shun changed his color on the spot, "What do you mean?"
Probably because the wound on his neck was still aching, Shi Chunquin was more aggressive than ever before, "Don't you know what you mean, second uncle? As a son of a human being, you have repeatedly allowed your wife and children to frame the eldest son and his grandson for unfilial piety, and later you even
It is unfaithful for them to join forces with others. After they have stopped, they still do not repent and speak out to provoke others. It is unjust. How can an unfilial, unfaithful, and unjust person like you have the right to criticize someone who is under the orders of the Emperor and is serving the common people outside?
A Ling who is fighting?!"
Her words were sonorous and powerful, and the old lady nodded her head in admiration, "The Spring Equinox is right. Now the Chu family is at a critical moment of life and death. It's just that you don't understand A Ling's difficulties. You're still fighting while he's out there.
At that time, he slandered his reputation everywhere. Let me ask you, do you have a clear conscience?"
Seeing the old lady's excited look, everyone quickly lowered their heads.
Chu Shun was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to talk back to her at this time, so he could only snort, roll his sleeves and step aside without talking.
Seeing this situation, Chu Gui took the initiative and said: "Having said that, we still have to be prepared. If Huang Yifu is angered by A Ling and decides to bury the entire Chu family with him, what should we do then?"
Seeing that someone finally asked about this matter, Chu Xiu took a step forward and was about to tell him about the secret passage, but was stopped by Shi Chunfen who quickly reached out his hand and said, "Let's talk about what happened then. Maybe we have something in mind, ah
Ling has thought of it a long time ago, he must have a way to rescue us."
Chu Xiu pursed his lips and had to retreat to his original position, swallowing the matter of the secret passage back into his stomach.
Under Shi Chunfen's comfort, everyone went back to their rooms to wait for the news. Seeing that she and the old lady were the only ones left in the hall, Chu Xiu couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't you let me tell you about the secret passage just now?
It would be nice for everyone to have some reassurance!"
Shi Chunfen shook his head, "The more we reassure them, the faster our Chu family will die."
Chu Xiu was slightly startled and looked at her in confusion, "What do you mean by this?"
The old lady quickly explained: "Now that the two armies are fighting, we are one of the most important bargaining chips in Huang Yifu's hands. He will definitely send people to watch the Chu family's movements more nervously than before. If each of us shows no panic,
With such a busy look, he will definitely know that we have a backup plan, and then no secret passage will work."
After hearing this, Chu Xiu finally understood, and his eyes became a little deeper, "You are right, I was impulsive."
The old lady raised her eyes and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "No matter what, thank you for the hard work on the secret passage. Your eldest brother is fighting in the war, and you are here to protect the safety of the Chu family. You two brothers are in charge of the big house.
In the future, I will be able to rest assured when I return to my old age."
"Grandma..." Chu Xiu looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect that she would praise him at this time, and he felt even more apologetic.
In fact, when he stood up, his intention was not to protect the safety of the Chu family, but to claim credit in front of everyone.
Now that the old lady has beautified his motives and said that he is so great, how can he have the nerve to continue to compare with Chu Ling?
Seeing that his expression softened, Shi Chunfen curled his lips and said with a smile: "Grandma, please don't say that. Compared with you, we are not mature enough. We will have to rely on you to continue to protect us in the future."
OK."
"Protect you?" The old lady was stunned and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it's not up to my ability."
After sending the old lady back to her room to rest, Chunfen and Chu Xiu were walking on the path of Chu's house when they heard the other party ask: "What is the situation outside the city? What are the chances of the imperial soldiers and horses winning?"
