Chapter 378 Aren't You Afraid That the Inner Ghost Is Between Us?
Seeing that she was very aggressive today and looked completely different from the other two, Ji Xiaoman quickly realized the seriousness of the problem and took the initiative to ask: "What happened, and who is the mole in our Chu family?"
Because she was the one asking the question, Shi Chunfen's expression softened slightly and she said calmly: "I don't know either."
"You don't know either?" Chu Shun immediately became furious, "You don't know why you called all of us here for a joke?"
"Yes." Chu Gui echoed: "Don't blame Uncle San for talking about you. You made such a fuss in the middle of the night. Even if you are reasonable, you have become irrational."
Shi Chunfen glanced at them coldly, and the two of them fell silent on the spot, but their expressions could not hide their pride.
Shi Chunfen looked away and said indifferently: "Although I don't know who the inner ghost is, as the head of the Chu family, I must do something immediately to avoid causing greater losses."
Although Aunt Liu has always been at odds with her, she also knows that now that Chu Yan is away, Dafang has no other support, and she will not be able to reap the benefits if something goes wrong. She can only echo: "What do you want to do?"
Shi Chunfen glanced at her and said bluntly: "I will thoroughly investigate the entire Chu family to see if there are any clues about the spy. Before that, all of you have to stay here and are not allowed to step out of the hall.
."
"What?!" Everyone immediately exploded, "You want to put us under house arrest?!"
"I just did it to facilitate the investigation."
If they were allowed to return to their respective yards, not only would the search be time-consuming and laborious, but it might also give the real mole a chance to destroy the evidence, so she had to catch them off guard before any of them knew what was going on.
Next, lock them here, just in case.
"That's outrageous!" Chu Shun objected: "Then if you can't find anything, won't you have to put us under house arrest for the rest of our lives?!"
"That's right!" Xue Jinxiu followed closely and sneered: "I thought you came up with some good idea, but it turns out that you have to trouble all of us to cooperate with you to stage a farce and lock everyone in the hall at night. Unfortunately,
You can figure it out!”
"I don't think there is anything wrong with this method." Chu Xiu stood up and said with a cold face: "Although it is a bit troublesome, since there is a spy, we should find out clearly."
"Yes." Chu Run, who had been standing behind Shichun's clone, finally found an opportunity to speak, "Locking everyone in the hall will only affect everyone's sleep at most, but if the mole is not found out, he will be allowed to interact with the rebels.
If we collude, our Chu family may face disaster."
Probably frightened by the last few words he said, Chu Gui quickly waved his hand impatiently, "Forget it, let's lock it up if you want. As long as the mole can be found, I will admit it."
"That's right." Cao Yingchun always followed his husband, "colluding with the rebels is no joke. Not to mention that Huang Yifu is eyeing the remaining 20% of our Chu family's property. Even if he doesn't want to harm our lives, the imperial court will
Retaking Liuzhou will also liquidate the rogue parties that colluded with the rebels. By then we will be implicated by that traitor and all of us will be finished."
Seeing that the third room was still awake, Shi Chunfen nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, the mole matter must be dealt with as soon as possible, not only for me, but also for the entire Chu family, so before the truth of the matter is found out, please
You all should be a little aggrieved and stay here honestly. When things come to an end, I will let you all go."
"What about all of us eating, drinking, and eating?" Chu Qian worried: "There are so many people here, are they all crowded together?"
Hearing her childish voice, Shi Chunfen's eyes softened a bit, "Don't worry, I will send someone to bring you food and bedding to ensure that you can get enough rest. As for the issue of going to the latrine, I will let someone
I'll prepare the bucket in the next room, and I'll try my best to meet your physiological needs."
She said so, and everyone could only compromise.
After all, outside the hall, Chu Yan's men had been surrounded by Chu Yan's men with weapons. Unless Huang Yifu came with troops and horses to rescue people, no one in the huge Chu family could really escape from her grasp.
.
After everyone was settled, Shi Chunfen quickly walked out of the hall with Chu Run and Chu Xiu. Chu Xiu didn't expect that she would call him, and he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.
"I'll leave it to you two to search each room. I have to go to my grandmother to explain it."
"Aren't you afraid that the traitor is between the two of us?" Chu Xiu couldn't help but ask.
Shi Chunfen was slightly startled and looked at him with some humor, "With the methods you two have, if you are really the traitor, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop you."
"You are very good at belittling yourself." Chu Run looked at her meaningfully.
"It's better not to waste time." Shi Chunfen didn't want to discuss this kind of issue with the two of them, so as not to start a quarrel again if they disagreed. "Go and search each room as soon as possible. In addition to the mole matter, if you find other people who are interested in the big brother,
You can also leave all matters that are unfavorable to your housing to me."
This was meant to clear up the family. Chu Xiu and Chu Run looked at each other and nodded quickly.
After sending them away, Shi Chunfen quickly came to the old lady's yard. She had made such a big fuss in Chu's house. The old lady's yard was already brightly lit, and she obviously couldn't sleep.
Shi Chunquin walked into the old lady's room and saluted her respectfully, "Grandma."
The old lady was closing her eyes to rest at this time. When she heard her voice, she slowly opened her eyes and said, "I heard that you are checking for ghosts?"
Seeing that the old lady already knew the whole story before she even opened her mouth, Shi Chunquin became more and more full of admiration for her.
"Yes, grandma." Shi Chunfen straightened up, walked to her side, knelt down, and gently massaged her legs, "When only our father and we knew about the secret passage, it was actually leaked.
Go out and Huang Yifu personally leads the troops to Lanyue Tower to search for the secret passage. I am very worried that the real secret passage will be discovered by him sooner or later."
"It's really unreasonable!" The old lady slammed the table in anger, "The secret passage is related to the life and death of the entire Chu family, and someone is so crazy that he told the rebels about it!"
Shi Chunfen was also very disappointed with this matter, "Yes, it doesn't matter how various houses fight among themselves. Colluding with the rebels is a serious crime that will bring death to the Nine Clan. I don't know what the inner ghost is thinking."
After patting the table, the old lady narrowed her eyes, "Apart from us and Yan'er, Xiu also knows about the secret passage."
Shi Chunfen raised her eyes in shock, "Grandma doubts him?"
The old lady lowered her head and looked at her, her cloudy eyes showing no emotion or anger, "I should be asking you instead, why don't you doubt him?"
