Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

Chapter 17 Chu Ling'er's self-defeating behavior

Unable to fight, Chu Ci chose to retreat. He ignored Chu Ling'er and said to Zhang Ying: "Since you have made up your mind, bring the child over."

Chu Ci tried his best to pretend that nothing happened, but Qianxue and Qianyan still noticed something was wrong. "Sister-in-law, you..."

Chu Ci did not explain, but just said: "Let's go."

Without hesitation, the two of them helped Chu Ci back to the car. In order to get away from the Chu family, Fan Qianyan even drove the donkey cart to the front.

Zhang Ying picked up Chu Yuhao and followed closely. Chu Junyi reached out to block, but Zhang Ying kicked him hard.

With the previous experience of Chu Ci as a lesson, the Chu family had no choice but to let the mother and son leave.

Chu Ci's heart and chest returned to normal only when he was fifty meters away from Chu Ling'er. For the sake of his life, Chu Ci drank the spiritual spring water until he could no longer drink it.

Seeing this, the two sisters Qianxue and Qianyan became more and more worried. "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? How about asking a doctor to take a look?"

Chu Ci waved his hand. If he continued to struggle, Chu Yuhao would die. "I'm fine. First, get some water and two pancakes for Zhang Ying. She hasn't eaten for a long time. Food that's too hard is bad for her stomach. Then, go make her a bowl of millet porridge."

"Just have the cake, no need to bother. No need to go through so much trouble." Without her fierce disguise, Zhang Ying was now just an ordinary mother who longed for her child to survive.

Along the way, Zhang Ying understood how much money it would cost to get these things. Thinking of his previous calculations, he felt a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry."

Chu Ci did not ask for forgiveness, she was not her original self, she had no right. She just said calmly: "Eat the pancake first. There is medicine in this water, we don't have much left. Hao'er needs to take a break after eating it."

"Thank you, thank you. Since leaving Beijing, Hao'er has always been held by Chu Junyi. Hao'er is also very attached to his father. I really didn't expect Chu Junyi to do that. I don't understand, I really don't understand, why? Why on earth?" Relaxing, Zhang Ying couldn't help but express her thoughts.

Chu Ci's eyes flashed when he heard this. Perhaps there is a way to deal with the so-called halo of the heroine.

Just as Chu Ci was thinking about how to resolve the damage brought by Chu Linger's halo as the headmistress, after the handover, the Chu family members who had settled down naturally did not want to watch the benefits that were about to be obtained fall through.

Especially Chu Ling'er, there was a voice in the dark telling her that everything in Chu Ci was hers. If she hadn't been married off, Fan Jingrui would be hers, and the good life of the Fan family should also be hers.

Chuci is still her stepping stone.

"Daddy, Mommy, does my sister really hate us? But wasn't it my sister who personally fought for the marriage with the Fan family?" Chu Ling'er's eyes were filled with tears, and her words were full of accusations of Chu Ci's ignorance.

Sure enough, upon hearing Chu Linger's half-true and half-false accusation, the Chu family's anger was instantly ignited.

Especially Chu Junyi, who was slapped, was furious: "She is a bitch who only remembers grudges and not gratitude. She is a jinx. We shouldn't have brought her back in the first place."

"Boss, are you saying that the Fan family back then and we now are all implicated by that girl?" Mrs. Chu has always been superstitious and places special importance on her eldest son.

After hearing what Chu Junyi said, the misfortunes that had occurred over the past year immediately flashed through his mind, and he blamed Chu Ci for the exile of the Chu and Fan families.

"Isn't this unlucky? I just don't know if it's contagious. Boss, can we not let Zhang Ying and her son come back?"

Hearing Mrs. Chu say this, Chu Linger cursed inwardly, "idiot." But she didn't show it on her face at all, and continued to pretend to be about to cry and said, "But this way, my sister-in-law will also resent us, right?"

"How dare she—" Li Yanran still thought she was the high and mighty Marquis' wife, "I'm lucky enough that I didn't ask your brother to divorce her!"

How stupid must one be to say such irresponsible words? Chu Xiaxiong raised his hand and slapped her: "You can leave at any time. Chu Yuhao is the eldest grandson of my Chu family. You must stay in the Chu family at all times."

As he said this, he gave Chu Ling'er a warning look.

Chu Linger's heart tightened, "Father, mother just cares too much about you and your brothers. Hao'er is her grandson, how can she not feel distressed?"

"Come to think of it, this is also my fault. If Ling'er's luck hadn't suddenly run out, everyone wouldn't have had such a hard time."

Chu Ling'er was afraid of Chu Xiaxiong. But she always knew how to stir up the emotions of the Chu family. Now, although she seemed to blame everything on herself, she actually aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone in the Chu family with the current situation.

The most impulsive person was Chu's mother, who left all the way. She was used to charging ahead: "I will go find her. Even if we are no longer related, I am still Chu Ci's biological mother."

However, just as she stood up, her seven-year-old son Chu Junjie grabbed her sleeve and said, "Mom, don't go. That person even beats my older brother, what if she beats you too? I won't let you go!"

The naughty child would not give face to others. He only knew that among all the people in the family, his mother loved him the most. If something happened to his mother, Chu Yuhao's today would be his tomorrow.

"I..." As expected, Chu's mother hesitated.

Although Chu Ling'er hated her to death, she always acted like a caring little cotton-padded jacket to her mother in front of others. "Mother, Ling'er is worried too."

Wow! Chu's mother gave in. "Okay, okay, I won't go. You guys must be hungry. I think the escort is easy to talk to. I'll use the pot as an excuse to make chicken soup for you guys, okay?"

Chu Ci didn't know that Chu Ling'er had made things worse, and the Chu family regarded her as a scourge. After waiting for a long time, no one came. Just as he was about to go back to the house, Fan Jingrui suddenly came out from the shadows at the corner: "Let's talk!"

"What to talk about?" Ever since he whipped the fourth son of the Fan family and had Fan Qianyan as his little follower, Fan Jingrui had been hiding in the car of Mr. and Mrs. Fan during the day and living in a separate room at night, under the pretext of sympathizing with his sister. His intention to avoid her was very obvious.

Chu Ci saw it clearly, but didn't care.

Now this guy jumped out, and Chu Ci was instantly alert. "Are you trying to persuade me to help those people from the Chu family? I'm telling you, it's impossible."

Fan Jingrui held his forehead with his hand. Is he such a person who can't tell right from wrong? "No, the Chu family has brought this upon themselves. I came here because... because."

After hesitating for a long time, Fan Jingrui finally gritted his teeth and told his purpose: "The slap you gave today has temporarily dispelled the thoughts of the Chu and Liu families. Fourth uncle and his family are also afraid and dare not help the Liu family anymore. But this is not a long-term solution after all. I am worried..."

Without waiting for Fan Jingrui to finish his words, Chu Ci narrowed his eyes and ran to Fan Jingrui's side in small steps: "Are you worried about me? Or are you afraid that I will fall into their trap and abandon the Fan family?"
