Chu Yanze was still wearing a thick winter coat, but even so, under the whip after whip, the clothes were torn open several times, and blood slowly soaked out. "Pa", there was another heavy crack of the whip, and Chu Yanze grunted. His straight back, like a bowstring stretched to the extreme, finally broke, and he fell forward fiercely. "Brother!" Chu Yanxi quickly took two steps on her knees, rushed forward, and kowtowed to Prime Minister Chu, "Father, we can't fight anymore! My mother died of injuries, and my eldest brother has to attend funerals!" The cold sweat fell from Chu Yanze's forehead, blurring his vision. He looked at Chu Yanze who couldn't stop kowtowing with some confusion. In a trance, the scene in front of him overlapped with the scene he saw in Wei Mansion not long ago, as if he and Chu Yanxi were the same ones. The person whose fate is being strangled... Prime Minister Chu snorted coldly, and finally stopped swinging his whip, "Since you have chosen the road, you have to walk it for me even if you are kneeling!" Prime Minister Chu raised his hand and pointed straight at Chu Yanxi. Chu Yanxi froze, and after a moment, she responded dumbly, "Yes!" Prime Minister Chu threw away the whip and said, "Both of you, keep in mind why you received this whipping today. Keep in mind why your mother and brothers died. Remember, you must let those who want to humiliate and humiliate you." Anyone who has humiliated our Chu family will pay the price!" "Oh! Emperor, royal family... Our Chu family has inherited it for hundreds of years. When my ancestors of the Chu family were extremely powerful, your royal family of the Fu family was just a piece of grass with insufficient food and clothing. How dare you use your power to suppress others... Then I will let you start from above. Come down and see how long you can be famous? How long can you be famous? Hahaha..." Chu Xiang murmured those words while staggering towards the door. When he stepped out of the door, he burst out laughing. , looked up to the sky, smiled, and ran out of the room, "Ying Niang, please go in peace first, for your husband... I will pay with blood to comfort you and Qing'er's soul in heaven..." The laughter turned into crying, Faint choking, pain in the liver and intestines. "Brother!" Chu Yanxi crawled forward and helped Chu Yanze up, tears falling like rain from her eyes. Chu Yanze's hand tightly grasped her arm, "Axi, these words of father cannot be spread..."
Chu Yanxi was startled for a moment, then her eyes turned cold, she gritted her teeth and nodded, "Don't worry, brother! My mother has passed away. The servants serving in this courtyard are all loyal, so let them go with my mother!" The cold wind blew away Chu Yanxi's muffled words, diluting the smell of medicine and blood in the room, but the whip lying on the ground was still stained with blood, unable to tell the so-called fate... The next day, Mingyi was stunned when she heard the news of Mrs. Chu Xiang's death. In her previous life, she married into Prime Minister Chu's mansion and spent most of her life with Chu Yanqing in her own yard. This mother-in-law was in poor health, so although she was treated coldly and not close to her, she did not interact with her. But although she was in poor health, she still lived. It was not until that year that Chu Yanqing dedicated her to Wei Xunzhi that she heard that her former mother-in-law had passed away. At that time, she hated the Chu family so much that she even felt happy. At this time, when I heard the news of her death, my resentment was gone. I just felt a little surprised and sad. I didn't expect that she would live another life. She only wanted to prevent the bad relationship between Li Fengjiao and the Chu family, but she still brought about many changes. The death of Chu Yanqing and Prime Minister Chu The wife's premature death may not have been directly caused by her, but it cannot be said to have nothing to do with her. Is this considered karma from the previous life?
No matter what she thinks in her heart, she still goes to pay her condolences. What she represents now is Xue Lin's face. Putting on plain clothes, Mingyi went to Prime Minister Chu's Mansion with Gao. The palace of Prime Minister Chu was covered in frosty white, which made it even more desolate against the withered scenery in early spring. There were quite a few people coming to express their condolences, coming and going in an endless stream. When Mingyi followed Gao into the mourning hall, she looked up and saw two brothers and sisters from the Chu family. They were both dressed in filial piety and had beautiful eyebrows. The Chu family were all well-born, otherwise Li Fengjiao would not have looked down on Renmo Ren. Chu Yan understood this. Mingyi and Gao offered incense, the brother and sister returned the gift, and then the mother and daughter turned around and walked out. There was no interaction at all, so it was enough to express condolences according to the etiquette. Unexpectedly, when he walked outside, he met several ladies who were relatively close to the Gao family, and they gathered together to talk. Mingyi said a few polite words and stood aside. There was a magnolia tree beside the wall outside the mourning hall. Although it had not bloomed yet, it had already bloomed. Mingyi looked up and heard the faint footsteps behind her. Turning around, he saw Chu Yanze who had walked over at some point. Mr. Chu, who was dressed in all white, had a slightly pale complexion and a distant look in his eyes, which seemed to give him a colder look. Mingyi knelt down towards him, "Master Chu! My condolences!" Mingyi had no intention of talking to him, nodded lightly, and was about to leave. "Princess Yun'an!" Unexpectedly, Chu Yanze called out to her, "Chu made a special trip to see the princess and has something to say." Mingyi stopped and looked at him suspiciously, "Master Chu...any advice?" He had just lost his mother, so Mingyi swallowed the words and changed to a softer statement. , but there was a hint of caution in his eyes. "The princess wants to go to the northwest, right? But the government has never issued a document, right?" Chu Yanze's eyes were somewhat sunken, staring closely at Mingyi's face, faintly cold. The guard in Mingyi's eyes relaxed, and she chuckled, "Master Chu has always cared about me so much, I really can't help but think too much about it!" Chu Yanze's forehead suddenly twitched, he steadied his breathing, ignored her irrelevant words, cleared his throat and said, "Hasn't the princess thought that there might be something fishy in this?" "Young Master Chu still has time to go around with me at this time. Could it be that he really wants to find a chance to talk to me a few more words?" Mingyi frowned impatiently, "What does Mr. Chu mean?" To put it bluntly, I am now a woman, but I am afraid of being said nonsense and causing gossip." Chu Yanze's face turned a little blue, and he felt that he would be really angry if he tried to break up with her, so it was better to get down to business as soon as possible. "What I mean is that the princess didn't see that someone was obstructing her, and didn't she want the princess to go to the northwest? Forgive Chu's blunt words, if the princess is really good for Governor Xue, she is afraid that she will follow the wishes of some people, so she will If you stay well in Wangjing City, you may be able to reassure the court. Or... the princess might as well write to Governor Xue and discuss it with him to see if there are any other ways?" After Chu Yanze finished speaking, he saw Mingyi tilting her head slightly to look at him, with a strange look on her face. He felt that she was afraid that she would say something that would make someone even more angry than she would die. As expected, Mingyi suddenly laughed, "How come Mr. Chu suddenly cares about me so much? He actually thinks of me so thoughtfully? But... I am already married, and I am afraid I will only be able to live up to Mr. Chu's love." Thank you so much. I'm so sorry!" After saying this, Mingyi knelt down and blessed him, then turned around, the smile on her face cleared up the moment she turned around.
"Princess, do you still want to deceive yourself? You know that everything I say is true." Chu Yanze said anxiously behind her, regardless of the pain in his chest caused by her choking. Mingyi didn't look back, she twitched the corner of her mouth and said lightly sarcastically, "Master Chu, your father's body is still cold. You'd better fulfill your filial piety at this time. It's really not your turn to worry about my affairs. If you keep doing this, I will I really don’t misunderstand that you have any ulterior motives for me.” When Chu Yanze was choked again and couldn't utter a word, Mingyi walked away without looking back, walked straight to the crowd of ladies not far away, grabbed Mrs. Gao's sleeve, "Auntie, we should go back Alright?" When she helped Gao to turn around, she glanced towards the wall. Under the magnolia tree, Chu Yanze had disappeared. On the contrary, when he left the house, he bumped into Wei Xuanzhi who was also dressed in plain clothes and came to express his condolences. He still looked gentle and harmless, and bowed his hands to Mingyi and Gao from a distance. The mother and daughter also bowed their knees in return, and then took steps to pass each other.
