"How do you know my teacher's name?" Chen Xuenian looked wary and clutched a woodcutter.
The hatchet held in Chen Xuenian's hand was non-threatening, more like a child playing with mud. Qi Chengyi chuckled, his smile cold and cold-blooded.
There was a slight chuckle on the corner of his lips, but his eyes were so cold that it made people tremble.
"I looked through your handwriting in books and found that it belongs to the Jiangnan School. You can write extremely good calligraphy and you belong to the Jiangnan School and you are a student of the Chu family. I then remembered that ten years ago, Chu Jin, the dean of the prestigious Shishu Academy in Jiangnan, He has good calligraphy and is very good at copying, and he is on par with the great calligrapher Danzhai."
"And Dean Chu adopted an orphan many years ago. Because he had some talent in reading, he stayed at home to educate him personally. Ten years ago, the entire Chu family was wiped out, and all fifty-seven members of the Chu family died tragically in the fire. .”
"The world only thinks that no one in the Chu family is alive, but they don't know that the orphan escaped from death and survived."
"Is it you, little scholar?"
Chen Xuenian clutched the hatchet tightly: "Who are you? How do you know the secrets of the Chu family? What are your... intentions!"
"I am the only son of the former empress, the grandson of the former Minister of War, and the current eighth prince."
As soon as he heard the name, Chen Xuenian's woodcutter fell to the ground with a clang, and he no longer struggled or resisted. He muttered at the corner of his mouth and struggled to squeeze out a sentence: "Kill or chop, please do as you please..."
Qi Chengyi played with the bone chain in his hand and said indifferently: "In addition to you, the Chu family also had a pair of sisters who survived, right?"
"I am the only one who survived. If you want revenge, come to me. If you want to kill me, kill me!" The weak scholar didn't know where he came from. He was completely unafraid. He sat quietly on the ground and took all the responsibilities on himself. On the head.
These words...
This made Qi Chengyi sneer: "Seeking revenge? Kill you? Hahaha..."
Like a cold-blooded devil, his chest trembled slightly as he laughed. After a long time, Qi Chengyi sneered: "Revenge? Idiot! You must not make the wrong enemy! It seems that you know the inside story of what happened back then..."
"My teacher is a man of integrity, clean and upright in his life. He has never done anything harmful to anyone! He is dignified and elegant, and has done countless good deeds. He even built a charity hall in the south of the Yangtze River. Even if he has made mistakes, it was because of coercion. As a Student, I am willing to bear all this for the Chu family and the teacher!"
"So, Eighth Prince, if you want to kill or behead him, please do as you please!" The Confucian scholar spat in a firm voice.
But Qi Chengyi sent him to hell with one sentence: "Fifty-seven members of the Chu family died tragically, except for the bodies of a pair of sisters. These sisters are Chu Jinhuai's biological granddaughters. I just heard that you were filled with righteous indignation and killed all the people. The responsibility has been placed on myself, presumably to protect these sisters. They are the witnesses of the Chu family's destruction, and I have something to ask them."
"I won't tell you." Chen Xuenian tilted his head stubbornly.
"Okay. Then wait until the granddaughter of the Chu family throws herself into the trap." Qi Chengyi threw down his sleeves and left Tuyuan.
After he left, Tuyuan returned to normal, but the surrounding streets and alleys were filled with hidden shadow guards and secret sentries.
Ten years ago, Concubine Yu's biological father, Yushi Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Chen Yushi, used a forged secret letter from Qi Chengyi's grandfather, the Minister of War, to expose his grandfather and his cousin, the commander of the Xuanzhou capital, for embezzling arms and conspiring to rebel.
Chen Yushi personally led the troops to find the secret cache of arms within the boundaries of Xuan'an City. It happened that the Minister of War under his grandfather also jumped out and personally testified against his grandfather's rebellion.
This led to the execution of the nine tribes by the late empress, and no one survived except the prince Qi Chengyi.
Qi Chengyi, who has regained his status as a prince, is bound to overturn the verdict for his mother's family and make the instigator pay the price of blood and tears.
Blood debt, blood repayment.
Now, following the handwriting on the suicide note forged by Chen Kang's order, he found Chen Xuenian whose handwriting was similar to that of the forged secret letter. Using Chen Xuenian's thread, he uncovered the massacre of the Chu family.
What he wanted to prove now was whether Chu Jinhuai was the author of the forged secret letter of rebellion.
…
Since Futing lost the land title, the people in the second room have become more peaceful.
Mrs. Yuan was clamoring to make peace with Fu Ting, but she was born as the concubine of a small businessman and was already a mature woman. The mistress of the family did not want to see her at all. Where could she go after the divorce?
It was just a tantrum, but he reconciled with Fu Ting a few days later, and the family moved to the old lady's Fushou Yuan to live together.
Fu Yunqing was in a very good mood these days.
Today is the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, and New Year’s Eve is ten days away.
Fu Yunqing pushed Fu Ziheng and took Tianying and Renqing to the street to buy new year's goods.
She looked at Lin Yuezhou, who was grinding medicine in the pharmacy, and shouted with a smile: "Doctor Lin, would you like to go shopping together to prepare new year's goods? I'm treating you. You can buy whatever you want. You should thank you for taking good care of Ziheng these days."
"OK!"
You'd be a fool not to take advantage of it! Lin Yuezhou happily wiped the powder on his hands and left Fu Mansion with Fu Yunqing and others with a smile.
As soon as she left Fufu, she heard the neighbors whispering about the severance of friendship with her second wife a few days ago.
Some people said she was too heartless, while others applauded her.
Some people say that evil will be punished, while others say that she is too strong and no one dares to marry her.
Every time she heard something good about Fu Yunqing, Tianying would curl her lips with joy. Every time she heard something bad, Tianying would put her hands on her hips and huff, as if she wanted to rush over to argue.
Fu Yunqing chuckled lightly and said in a rather grand manner: "I do the things, and they can say whatever they want. I act openly and don't care about gossip. If your emotions are always affected by the outside world, you are really a mediocre person. I don't care what they say. Don’t care.”
Tianying hummed: "Learn from the girl, as long as we have a clear conscience!"
Lin Yuezhou ate the walnut kernels in silence and realized that Fu Yunqing was truly a strange woman. Her temperament, martial arts, abilities, and state of mind were completely opposite to those of most women in the boudoir.
How many women are burdened by fame, tied up and afraid to be their true selves, living in the eyes and comments of others all their lives.
But Fu Yunqing is different. In the chaotic world, she lives her true self and becomes the person she wants to be.
Renqing pushed open the car door, lifted the thick curtain to block the wind, and said, "Miss, the second young master has arrived at Dongshi."
The East Market is a place dedicated to buying small items, including candies, New Year goods, paper-cuts... everything.
"They sell dried peach meat! They sell peach cakes! They sell fresh Fuyu Mountain peaches!" There happened to be a peach vendor across the street.
Fu Yunqing's eyebrows were filled with joy, and he got out of the car and ran straight over. However, he didn't pay attention to the crowded and bustling long street. A scarred woman was galloping towards her on horseback——
"Da da da da!" Seeing that the fierce horse was about to hit Fu Yunqing!
Fu Ziheng, who was in the wheelchair, was so worried that he stood up and shouted: "Sister! Be careful!!"
He rushed over——
Hearing this, Fu Yunqing frowned, jumped up, quickly stepped on the stirrup with her toes, tightly grasped the reins, stopped the galloping horse, and pulled the female swordsman off the horse!
"Do you know that Dongshi is crowded with people? What if you gallop and ride your horse, trampling on the elderly and children?" Fu Yunqing asked displeasedly.
Fu Ziheng, who had just stood up in a hurry, suddenly lost strength in his legs after taking a few steps. When he was about to fall backward, Renqing and Tianying hurriedly supported him!
Fu Yunqing was slightly startled, then exclaimed, overjoyed: "Ziheng! You can stand up on your legs!"
