Seeing that he used "the soldiers and horses of the imperial court" to refer to "Chu Ling", it was obvious that he still felt resentful. Shi Chunfen's eyes darkened and he sighed softly: "I don't know either."
Although she was escorted up the city wall and saw the battle between the two armies with her own eyes, how could she, a mere woman, see the clues?
Chu Xiu also expected this answer from her and couldn't help curling his lips, "He really didn't care about your life and death and just let you be strangled to death by Huang Yifu?"
Shi Chunfen was about to open her mouth to defend Chu Ling, but she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing on the wall nearby. Her brows furrowed and her words turned around again, "I didn't expect a couple to be together."
, He would be so heartless..." As she said that, she also pointed to the wound on her neck that was scratched by the arrow, and said with red eyes: "Did you see that this scar was shot by him with a bow and arrow himself?
I never thought that he would treat me like this..."
Chu Xiu looked at her neck in the direction she pointed, and quickly frowned, "I thought he was only cold-blooded to me, but I never thought he could be so heartless to his wife."
Seeing that he had indirectly confirmed that Chu Ling might have paid to kill his younger brother, Shi Chunfen was helpless, but he had to continue acting, "You are right, he is really a heartless and unjust man.
In order to achieve success, he would not even let go of his wife."
As she said this, she covered her face and cried bitterly, looking like she was in pain.
Chu Xiu was used to her speaking for Chu Ling in front of him. Suddenly he heard her blaming Chu Ling with him, and he was at a loss. "You... please stop crying, he may have no choice but to do it." As soon as the words came out, he
I was stunned for a moment. I didn't expect that he would still speak for Chu Ling in his lifetime.
Shi Chunfen cried even harder, "What's the last resort? I think he is just a cold-blooded and ruthless villain! For the sake of his own future, he might give up the entire Chu family!"
She spoke so eloquently that Chu Xiu scratched his head and said, "No, even if he gives up, my mother will not give up on us."
He never believed Chu Ling's sincerity, but he knew very clearly how much Huating County Lord loved him. Although he often blamed him for favoring Chu Ling, he also knew that from a mother's point of view, no one could compare to Huating County Lord.
Do better.
Shi Chunfen didn't expect that she would cry like this, but instead try to find out a few true words from Chu Xiu.
While she was feeling amused, tears kept falling from her face, "Second Master, I'm really scared. If he gives up on us, will we all die here?"
Chu Xiu was about to open his mouth to comfort him, but when he heard the last sentence, his eyes quickly narrowed.
Shi Chunfen clearly knew that they had a secret passage as a back-up plan, so how could he ask such a question?
As long as he thought about it carefully, he understood that the other party was putting on a show. Although he was a little disappointed, he still comforted him cooperatively: "No, big brother will definitely come to save us."
The two acted for a while, then returned to their yard crying.
It wasn't until she entered the room and sat down that she asked Li Yan to close the doors and windows, then she breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the second master reacted quickly enough, otherwise he would have been betrayed just now..."
Li Yan had been following them, so she naturally understood what was going on, and quickly said: "Why did grandma suddenly start acting? Did she find out that there is a spy in our Chu family?"
Shi Chunfen nodded slightly and said bluntly: "I saw a black shadow on the wall just now. I think it was Huang Yifu who sent us to monitor us. From now on, we must be more cautious in our words and deeds. It is best to scold the uncle more to make Huang Yifu think that we are really
I don't get along with the uncle, so that he won't vent his anger on us."
"That's too easy." Li Yan said with a smile: "Except for us and the old lady, few people in the huge Chu family get along with the uncle. Even if they don't know about them, they will curse the uncle in the room every day.
.”
Shi Chunfen was instantly amused by her, "You, you, you are really getting weirder and weirder!"
After laughing, she stood up and sighed, "I don't know what the war situation is like outside the city now..."
The battle between Chu Ling and Huang Yifu lasted all day and night. The whole city of Liuzhou was in panic. No one knew whether the arrival of the imperial reinforcements was good or bad for them. It was worth being happy to be saved, but what if they were not saved?
, causing the rebels to go on a rampage and massacre the city, which will not be easy for everyone at that time.
The first battle ended with Chu Ling temporarily withdrawing his troops. Although Huang Yifu was successfully deceived by them, it is undeniable that he is indeed a military wizard. Otherwise, he would not have captured Liuzhou City in such a short period of time. Chu Ling did not lead the troops for that long.
I'm afraid it's not that easy to get an advantage from him.
As soon as Chu ordered his troops to retreat, Huang Yifu didn't even have time to rest. He came to Chu's house angrily and called everyone out, "I'm here today to inform you that your eldest young master has lost the battle and is now like a mourner."
He retreated like a dog. If you want to expect him to save you, I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"
Hearing this, the old lady swayed and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Aunt Liu and Chu Qian quickly supported her, while not forgetting to glare at Huang Yifu.
Huang Yifu noticed their movements and said with a smile: "What's wrong, old lady, do you really expect him to save you?"
The old lady snorted coldly and said nothing.
The entire Liuzhou City knew how much she treasured her grandson, so there was no need for her to pretend in front of Huang Yifu.
The more she behaved like this, the more Huang Yifu believed that other people's attitudes were not false, and the smile on his face became more and more crazier, "Actually, you don't have to be so desperate. Now in Liuzhou City, I have not treated you badly at all, although
You lost 80% of your property, but that was what you voluntarily donated to me. I didn't force you to do anything. Later, I made an exception and gave you a pass, so that your Chu family could be the first to open the door for business. Speaking of love, there is love.
"Yi, I think your eldest young master has a much more conscience."
Seeing him boasting about himself like this, the faces of everyone in the Chu family became even more ugly.
It's one thing for them to hate Chu Ling, but now that they are being treated as a prisoner and being humiliated arbitrarily, they are obviously not happy at all.
Seeing them all looking sad, the smile on Huang Yifu's face gradually faded, "What's wrong, don't you agree with what I said? Are you still hoping that he will save you?"
Seeing that he was about to get angry, Shi Chunfen quickly stood up and said: "From the moment he shot me with an arrow, I have given up on this man. General Huang, please rest assured that our Chu family is by no means ignorant of good and evil."
As long as you don't harm us, we will definitely help you make money and maintain the stability of Liuzhou City."
