"In order to get revenge on a man, does it make sense to drag your own child into the water?" Shi Chunfen looked at her, although his tone was stern, his eyes were full of compassion.
Xiuxiu lowered her head, "How can people think so much when they are irrational?"
Originally, she was extremely emotionally unstable after giving birth at an advanced age, and with the fall of Liuzhou City and Chu Yan being imprisoned, her pressure had already reached its peak, and it was not surprising that she would make an irrational decision.
Shi Chunfen sighed, "You haven't told me yet, what did you say to Huang Yifu?"
Xiuxiu replied: "I didn't contact him directly at all, but contacted him through the people he sent to monitor us at the Chu family. I only told him that the Chu family was secretly digging a secret tunnel. As for the purpose and location, I knew everything about it."
Didn't tell them."
This is true. Huang Yifu previously insisted that they dug tunnels to escape, but only Shi Chunfen and the others knew that they dug tunnels to lead to strongholds in the city to avoid being hunted by the rebels and hide in Liuzhou City. Chu
The family is old and young, so fleeing is not the wisest way.
"Finally you still have some conscience." Shi Chunquin sneered.
Xiu Xiu pulled her lips and said nothing.
She didn't have any conscience, but she deliberately left the bargaining chip to wait until the last moment. Unexpectedly, the trick was exposed before the last moment. If she hadn't been unable to calm down and took the initiative to inquire about the mole in Shi Chunfen,
Maybe Shi Chunquin would never find out what she had done.
In the final analysis, she is still not smart enough and only one move is missing.
After Shi Chunfen finished chatting with her, when she walked out of the back room, she saw Chu Xiu and his wife waiting for her outside. There were no secrets in the room. They must have heard the conversation between her and Xiu Xiu. Ji Xiaoman's expression was not surprised. Chu Xiu
His face was solemn and he didn't know what he was thinking.
In fact, in the huge Chu family, Xiuxiu is not the only one who is dominated by hatred?
Chu Xiu versus Chu Ling, Chu Shun versus Chu Yan, Chu Run versus Chu Quan, everyone has a dark side to some extent, but she doesn't care what other people think, she only worries that Chu Xiu will hurt Chu Ling, so
What I said to Xiuxiu just now was more or less meant for Chu Xiu, and he obviously understood it.
Ji Xiaoman didn't know the inside story, so he took the initiative to ask: "Is Aunt Xiu okay?"
Shi Chunfen nodded slightly and led them out of the house, "With Ping'er's hope, I think she will take good care of herself and wait for her father to come back."
Mentioning Chu Yan, Ji Xiaoman couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder how my father is doing now? My eldest brother led troops to attack the city. Will the rebels vent their dissatisfaction on my father?"
"Probably not..." Shi Chunfen comforted: "They still need us to threaten A Ling, so naturally they won't hurt us easily. As long as we are patient and deal with them properly, we will be fine for the time being."
"What about Big Brother?" Ji Xiaoman couldn't help but ask: "How is the battle going? Will the imperial court send reinforcements?"
Mentioning this, Shi Chunfen fell silent and said with a wry smile: "I don't know either."
Although she learned from Lin Zhongyue that Chu Ling had already made arrangements and that it would be a matter of time to take Liuzhou back, things on the battlefield were changing rapidly. Who could guarantee a 100% victory?
The equinox cannot predict the future, so naturally it does not dare to reveal anything easily.
Seeing that she didn't look like she was lying, Ji Xiaoman immediately sighed, "It's a pity that we can't go out, and we can't do anything to help you."
Shi Chunfen smiled and comforted: "In any case, I am very grateful that you were willing to stand up and speak for me just now. As for the future, we can only take it one step at a time..."
Seeing that the two women were chatting endlessly, Chu Xiu said impatiently, "Are you okay? Are you leaving?"
Seeing that he looked like he was about to get angry, Ji Xiaoman visibly trembled, and quickly apologized to Shi Chunquin and said with a smile, "Then Ah Xiu and I will go back first."
Shi Chunfen remembered that Chu Xiu had the habit of beating women, and was afraid that he would be dissatisfied and vent his anger on Ji Xiaoman. He quickly said: "You should go back first. I have something to tell Ah Xiu."
Ji Xiaoman was slightly startled, looked at her and Chu Xiu suspiciously, and nodded reluctantly, "Okay then."
When she turned back three times to leave, Chu Xiu looked at Shi Chunquin and said impatiently: "What do you want to say again?"
Seeing his irritable look, Shi Chunquin was a little amused, "It's nothing. It's rare that I don't have to go out to patrol the shops today. I would like to invite you to taste the new tea leaves of Jiuku Tea House."
Chu Xiu didn't expect her to say that, and his expression was obviously stunned, "Tasting tea?"
"That's right." Shi Chunfen nodded again, "It's just tea tasting."
Chu Xiu snorted coldly, and although he felt a little awkward, he still took a step forward, "Why don't you leave then?"
Shi Chunfen looked at his back and shook his head in a funny way. He was such a big man, but his mind was still like that of a child. He had to be coaxed.
In order to prevent the people in the second and third bedrooms from gossiping, Shi Chunfen invited Chu Xiu to sit down at the pavilion in the middle of the lake at Chu's house, and asked Li Yan to bring the tea leaves and boil the tea directly on the lake. The reason why he chose this place was to avoid suspicion.
In addition, the biggest reason is to prevent people sent by Huang Yifu from eavesdropping.
According to what Xiu Xiu said just now, Huang Yifu has been sending people to secretly monitor them, and has contacted those who are wavering in the Chu family to persuade them to betray the Chu family.
Except for Dafang and Chu Run, few people in the Chu family were unshakable, so Shi Chunfen felt very heavy and couldn't help but discuss with Chu Xiu, "Do you think besides Xiuxiu, there are also
Who would betray us without hesitation?”
Hearing this question, Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "You should ask the other way around, besides my grandmother and me, who in the Chu family will not betray us?"
Shi Chunquin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I don't think Arun can."
Chu Xiu snorted coldly and said dissatisfied: "Only you think so."
When she chose Chu Run to accompany her to go out freely, Chu Xiu was already very dissatisfied. Now that he heard that she trusted Chu Run so much, he couldn't help but question, "Except for the fact that he has been helping you, do you really think he
Won’t you sell your big house?”
Because he was asking about Dafang, not the Chu family, Shi Chunquin was stunned for a moment and replied: "Everything is possible. I have never ruled out this possibility."
Seeing that she was still awake, Chu Xiu snorted coldly and said dissatisfied: "Then you are still so close to him?"
Shi Chunfen smiled bitterly and said: "One more enemy is not as good as one more friend, right? Besides, Arun hasn't done anything harmful to nature. How can we deliberately alienate him just because of a possibility?"
