Mrs. Li woke up from a violent jolt, her face was swollen and painful, and it felt hot with the slightest touch.
Being slapped in the face came to mind again.
She had never suffered such humiliation in her life, and she was extremely angry: "Chu Zhinan, Chu family, even if I risk my life, I can't make it easy for you."
She could never understand why Chu Zhinan and the Chu family, who had always been firmly controlled by the Li family, suddenly turned against them.
Her son was imprisoned in a dark prison, and she was helpless to save her. Her heart ached like a knife. What was even more tragic was that the Chu family gave her three days to return Chu Zhinan's dowry and everything the Chu family gave her, which was all her assets.
She was used to living a prosperous life, but when she thought about her future life as a penniless beggar, she was so desperate that she broke down and cried.
"Madam, please go and beg the old patriarch."
The words of the personal maid made Mrs. Li stop crying, wiped her face, and shouted: "Let's go to the old patriarch's house."
After a while, the Li family.
The old patriarch with white hair was smoking his pipe and listening to Mrs. Li's cry expressionlessly.
"Old patriarch, Bo'er has always worked for the benefit of the clan. Many of the sons and daughters of the clan were given official positions by Bo'er. Now that Bo'er has been imprisoned unjustly, you can't ignore it."
Mrs. Li looked at the calm old patriarch with tears in her eyes, feeling anxious in her heart.
The old patriarch finished smoking a pack of cigarettes, knocked the pot on the sole of his shoe, sighed quietly, and said: "Prefect Sun doesn't want to see you. You should be subject to the pressure of the Chu family. The focus of exonerating Bo'er is still Chu."
Family, just do as they ask."
Hearing this, Mrs. Li immediately darkened her face and took several pictures at once, saying: "I have been saying this for a long time, and you asked me to pay back the Chu family's money. It is impossible to pay back the money, and I only have one life."
The old patriarch frowned and looked at Mrs. Li coldly: "Bo'er has been an official in these years, and you have seen a lot of things in the world. Why haven't you raised a little bit of the city? The crime of disobedience can be big or small, the Chu family
There's no point in saying that as long as you pay back everything that's due, Bo'er's life will be saved.
You return the things first and ask them to write a letter of understanding. As soon as Bo'er comes out, I will have a way to make the Chu family vomit out everything."
Mrs. Li smiled brightly and stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for the old patriarch: "You really have a way, tell me quickly."
"Just do what I say. No matter how strong the Chu family is, this Yangcheng is the territory of my Li family. A strong dragon cannot defeat the local snakes. When Bo'er comes home, I will have a way to prevent them from coming back."
The old patriarch's calm tone showed that he was ruthless and decisive.
After a while, Mrs. Li left the old patriarch's house happily.
As night fell, Chu Zhinan waited for her mother to go to bed. She collected the empty medicine bowl and quietly walked out of the bed.
Looking at the long shadows under her feet, she looked up at the bright moon and bright stars in the night sky. Tears filled her eyes when she thought of her daughter who loved to look at the stars in her arms.
She missed her daughter so much. Her mind was full of images of her daughter being beaten by her mother-in-law. Her heart felt like it was being torn apart. She really wanted to rush back to the Li family at all costs.
But if she returns to the Li family, her mother's injuries will be in vain, everything Chu Zishan has done will be in vain, and she and her daughter will never be able to leave the hell of the Li family.
No matter how long you endure it, believe Chu Zishan, if she said she would bring Shuer back, she will definitely...
"Mother."
A tender and timid child's voice came, and Chu Zhinan shuddered and followed the sound.
Under the moonlight, Chu Zishan was standing at the entrance of the courtyard with a very beautiful girl.
"Shu'er."
Chu Zhinan called out and rushed over, holding her daughter in her arms: "Shu'er, my Shu'er, mother can see yours..."
She suddenly let go of her daughter, looked up and down nervously, and gently checked her daughter: "Did your father and grandmother beat you in the past few days when your mother was away?"
Shu'er shook her head and raised her little hand to wipe away the tears on Chu Zhinan's face: "No, Shu'er misses her mother very much."
"I miss Shu'er too. My mother will never abandon Shu'er again. We will return to Kyoto with my grandmother in two days..."
Shu'er blinked her big eyes and said, "Mother lied."
"No, mother didn't lie to Shu'er. She will definitely take Shu'er away this time. We will never go back to Li's house again."
Before, every time she couldn't bear Li Bo's return to her parents' home, Li Bo wouldn't let her take her daughter away, fearing that she would never come back.
"My mother once said that Aunt Zishan is ugly and bad, and eats people like a wolf. But Aunt Zishan is not ugly at all. She can take Shu'er to fly in the sky. She is amazing. She is very kind to Shu'er..."
Listening to her daughter's words, Chu Zhinan felt embarrassed. She turned to look at Chu Zishan, but she didn't know when this person had left.
She hugged her daughter and said in a trembling voice: "Mother lied. Mother was wrong. Your Aunt Zishan is the most powerful and best person in the world."
Three days later, Mrs. Li came to the door and returned all Chu Zhinan's dowry and the assets given by the Chu family. She admitted her mistake with a very humble and sincere attitude, and even lowered her voice and cried bitterly, begging Mei to write a letter of understanding.
Chu Zishan did as she wished, Mrs. Li got the letter of understanding and left Piaoyao Villa happily.
Chu Zhinan looked at Mrs. Li who was walking away with a frown on her face: "She is known to be a tough guy who doesn't pluck a dime. How could she be so happy to return such a large amount of assets? This is not normal."
Chu Zishan smiled slyly: "If she doesn't cause trouble, how can I eradicate it?"
The next day, several carriages left Piaoyao Villa.
Chu Zishan lifted the curtains of the car and looked at the villa going further away, feeling inexplicably sad.
Early this morning, she asked her family to prepare their bags and return to Beijing, and asked the housekeeper to ask Gu Yimo if he was going back with her. The housekeeper said that Gu Yimo had gone out early in the morning and left a message for them to go ahead.
superior.
In her opinion, Gu Yimoliu's words were just excuses, and she must have been frightened and retreated.
But this trip to Yangcheng was thanks to Gu Yimo's care, so she should say thank you.
If you are lucky enough to meet again, let's talk about it.
Without the noisy sound, Chu Zhinan lifted the car curtains and saw the wide avenue and the endless fields. She said: "We are leaving Yangcheng."
Finally leaving the nightmare-like Yangcheng, she felt extremely happy both physically and mentally.
Chu Zishan glanced at her and said solemnly: "Close the window."
Chu Zhinan smiled: "The weather is very good today, not cold at all..."
"Close it." Chu Zishan said sternly.
Chu Zhinan trembled with fright, quickly closed the car window, and took a peek at Chu Zishan, whose expression suddenly became very scary.
"Stop the car, stop if you don't want to die..."
Suddenly, a man's rough shouting came from outside the car, and Chu Zhinan hugged her daughter tightly with fear in her eyes.
Chu Zishan curled his lips and smiled evilly, moved his neck, and with fierceness in his bright eyes, he stood up and walked out of the car.
