Chu Yan nodded slightly, feeling relieved, "The second brother and the others will be left to you first. A Ling and I have to go to the prefect's mansion to see how Zhao Pingchuan is doing."
Liuzhou prefect Zhao Pingchuan, like Chu Yan, has been imprisoned by Huang Yifu. The difference is that he was seriously injured because of his desperate resistance and is likely to be disabled in the future. In addition, the general who lost the city in the defeat also suffered a lot.
He may be liquidated by the imperial court, and his current situation is not much better than that of the Chu family.
Chu Ling nodded and quickly followed.
Shi Chunfen glanced at him resentfully, knowing that she was going away and not knowing when she would be back. Why was it so difficult for her to sit down and have a good chat with him?
"Don't look, no one is looking at you." Chu Xiu said coldly from the side, and when he heard that, Chun Fen retracted his gaze.
The old lady glanced at them and said, "Ah Xiu, please accompany me to see the injuries of your second uncle's family. In the spring, you go and call Ah Run."
"Yes, grandma." They both responded at the same time, and then went to do it separately.
When Chunfen walked out of the ancestral hall, she found Yu Atu standing not far away in a daze, as if she didn't know how to go back to face Chu Run. She thought for a while and quickly stepped forward and said: "Atu, do you want to go back to find Chu Run?
?I'll go with you."
Hearing her voice, Yu Atu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, shook his head with a wry smile, "I won't go, I want to go see my parents, and tell them the current situation of the Chu family.
"
Shi Chunfen didn't expect that she would reject him, and was a little surprised for a moment, but seeing that the other party was sincere and didn't seem to be angry with her, he quickly nodded and said, "Okay, give my regards to my aunt and uncle."
Yu Atu turned around and ran away. When Li Yan saw her hurried back, she couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Why does Fourth Grandma look so worried?"
"Let her go." Shi Chunfen said calmly: "The Chu family is like this now. It's normal for her to be panicked. I think she must be worried that her family will be implicated."
Li Yan understood instantly, and after working on it for a long time, it turned out that Yu Atu was so frightened by the accusation of "collaboration with the enemy and treason" that he even ignored his husband.
Shi Chunfen took Li Yan to find Chu Run, who was still hiding in his study and pretending that nothing happened. Shi Chunfen told him the current situation of Chu Shun and others, which made Chu Run frown and said, "Grandma asked me
The past? What could I have done in the past?”
"No matter what you can do, they are your father and brother, you should show up and show your attitude." Shi Chunfen said bluntly: "Being a coward will not solve the problem."
It was rare for her to speak out frankly. Chu Run smiled to himself, "But it's much happier to be a turtle with a shrunken head."
Shi Chunfen frowned, and before she could say anything else, Chu Run stood up and said, "Let's go, you can't hide from what's coming."
The group of people went to the old lady's yard. At this time, the doctor was still treating Chu Shun and the others. They saw basin after basin of blood coming out of the room. Chu Run's hands were shaking slightly, but it didn't show on his face.
"Grandma, Arun is here." Shi Chunwen brought Chu Run to the old lady and motioned him to salute the old lady.
Chu Run came back to his senses, quickly raised his hand to the old lady, and said respectfully: "A Run has met my grandmother."
"No need to be polite." The old lady said calmly: "Now that the second bedroom is like this, and A Tang and A Zheng are still young, what are your plans for the future?"
Seeing the old lady getting straight to the point, Chu Run hesitated for a moment and said frankly: "I want to continue studying."
"Oh?" The old lady was a little surprised, "Although your father and brother no longer have any business, they still have an escort agency. Don't you plan to inherit it?"
Chu Run shook his head, "In these troubled times, how can the escort agency business be so easy to run? Besides, I am a scholar, even if I have the will, I can't do it!"
He was quite candid, and the old lady nodded slightly and agreed: "Well, since this is your wish, grandma will not interfere. You can continue reading the book, and you don't need to take care of the escort agency. But the second wife's hand
There cannot be no business here." As she said that, she looked at Shichun Equinox and ordered: "Go back and see if there are any suitable shops. Give him two. Whether he runs it or Yu Atu runs it, in short
Do it decently."
Seeing that the old lady had given Chu Run enough face, Shi Chunfen nodded quickly, "Yes, grandma."
Chu Run hesitated for a moment, then quickly thanked: "Thank you grandma for taking care of me."
The old lady's eyes returned to him, and she said with a smile: "We are all a family, and we should take care of you. Although your father and others have done so many things, grandma has always known that it has nothing to do with you. Now the Chu family is also
I don’t know if your father and brother will be implicated, but grandma hopes you can persuade them to plead guilty as soon as possible to avoid suffering."
Hearing the last sentence, Chu Run was shocked, and then he understood the old lady's intention of calling him over.
Shi Chunfen was also stunned on the spot. She didn't expect that the old lady would mention such a thing at this time. Although it was reasonable, it was too cruel for Chu Run. Her lips moved and she almost thought
She spoke for Chu Run, but she still endured it. The fault the second room made this time was really too big. She sympathized with Chu Run, but who would sympathize with the entire Chu family?
While she was silent, Chu Run quickly reacted and said with a wry smile: "My grandson will do his best."
He is also a member of the Chu family. If the second wife implicates the entire Chu family, he will not be able to escape the involvement.
Seeing that he agreed readily, the old lady let out a long sigh and said, "Arun, don't blame grandma for being cruel. If being cruel to your father and brother can save the entire Chu family, you will let grandma do anything."
Chu Run nodded quickly, "My grandson understands."
The old lady knew that he was a smart man who knew everything right. She quickly waved her hand and said, "Okay, you go and see your father and brother."
Chu Run nodded again and quickly followed Grandma Qing into the back room.
Although he was mentally prepared, Chu Run's heart still trembled when he saw Chu Shun's whole back lying on the bed with ulcers. This was his father, the only person he cared about in the second room. How could he bear to watch it?
To watch him die?
Aunt Qing brought him in and quickly invited the others out. Only he and Chu Shun were left in the room, while Chu Quan and Xue Jinxiu were in other rooms.
Because of the medicine, Chu Shun woke up from the pain early. When he saw him appearing in front of him, he turned his head with disdain.
Chu Run took a few steps forward and slowly knelt beside his bed, "Father, are you still complaining about me?"
"I dare not." Chu Shun said indifferently: "You are the popular person in front of Dafang, how can I dare to blame you?"
These words meant that she was still blaming him. Chu Run lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly: "I thought the one who was left behind... was the one who should be blamed."
