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

Huchihuchi——

At this moment, the Chu family finally understood that Chu Ci was no longer the Chu family daughter who allowed them to control her a year ago. This made them extremely angry, but they had to suppress their anger.

"What do you want in exchange for letting Ling'er go?" Chu Xiaxiong said this almost through gritting his teeth.

It must have been the Fan family who taught him. Chu Xiaxiong didn't believe it. A country bumpkin who had never even touched a book had become a completely different person in just over a month.

And Chu Ling'er, who was thought to be smart and considerate. But in less than a day, she made two stupid mistakes. If possible, Chu Xiaxiong really wanted to let this increasingly stupid adopted daughter fend for herself.

Chu Ci didn't know that because of his actions, his adoptive father was already considering giving up Chu Ling'er. "I don't want to hear nonsense like fulfilling my filial piety for me. So, please stay away from me."

"I agree." "No, I don't agree." Chu Xiaxiong and Li Yanran spoke almost at the same time, but their meanings were very different.

Chu Xiaxiong's face turned pale. Li Yanran ignored the contempt of the people around him. "Even if you don't want to recognize us, it is a fact that you have been in the Chu family for a year. Since we are strangers, should we be refunded for the expenses we paid for that year?"

"Oh my! Wasn't this woman considered a noble lady in the capital before? How can she lose face so quickly? How can she repay me for giving me rotten food for a year?"

Working as a maid in the post station, I have seen many different kinds of people, but this is the first time I have seen someone like Chu's mother. So, a kitchen lady couldn't help herself.

The girl next to her was even more interesting, "Then just give her a year's worth of rotten rice! How simple."

No, Chu Ci couldn't hold it back anymore, it was so funny. "Hahahaha!"

Seeing this, Fan Jingrui wanted Chu Ci to restrain himself. Turning around, he saw that his parents, who were always serious, also had their mouths twitching, which showed that they were having a hard time holding back.

Look again, the aunts, their shoulders shrugged. Okay, they were all led astray by Chu Ci.

In desperation, he had to step in personally and said, "It is true that the Chu family raised Chu Ci for a year. As her husband, I will pay this debt on her behalf. There are 365 days in a year, and three meals a day. That's 1,095 meals a year. Do you want to write it off in one go, or pay it back slowly along the way?"

If it was just Chu Ci, the Chu family could still make trouble, but it was Fan Jingrui who came forward, which represented the attitude of the Fan family. Even though she was ready to have her face stepped on, Li Yanran still felt insulted.

She trembled for a long time, but finally couldn't open her mouth.

Chu Xiaxiong, indeed, was a man who had been in the imperial court for many years. His shamelessness was beyond the reach of ordinary people. "It's not easy for anyone in this situation. Then just pay it back slowly!"

"Okay, then does Mrs. Chu agree?" Fan Jingrui agreed readily, but the soul's question made the embarrassment of the Chu family reach its extreme.

Even Chu's mother Li Yanran looked at Chu Ci with hatred, "I agree. You can let Ling'er go now!"

The goal was achieved, and the hostages in hand naturally lost their use. "Here, it's for you."

After saying that, he turned around and served himself a bowl of steaming beef brisket porridge. "Go on, who will eat this delicious porridge?"

Chu Ci's move was really bad! The key was that someone cooperated with her. Fan Jingrui also learned bad things from Chu Ci, and brought a bowl of porridge to Chu Xiaxiong, saying, "This is the first meal."

To answer or not to answer, this is a serious problem. Chu Xiaxiong hesitated for three seconds, but still answered it. "Go back!"

"Remember to return the bowl—" Chu Ci shouted, almost sending the Chu couple away. The brothers of the Chu family felt that if they continued to endure like this, they would become cowards. They turned around and wanted to teach Chu Ci a lesson.

Chu Ci immediately labeled An as greedy: "Why, you want it too? Not to mention the door, there's no window."

There was no way to fight this battle, so I could only leave in shame.

Sure enough, crazy literature YYDS!

As for who ended up with the bowl of porridge, Chu Ci had no interest in knowing. Her mind was tightly tied to the dark guards who were rushing over, fearing that the dog emperor would make another stupid move.

The fact is, there is no such a stupid move. The reason why the secret guards were so anxious was because of the emperor's words. "Old man, the emperor ordered his subordinates to inform you that Concubine Ming has been secretly detained. Don't worry."

Mr. Fan was indeed relieved. He was quite humble, "Your Majesty is wise and will surely make those hidden demons show their true colors one by one. I am just a guilty minister, how dare I trouble Your Majesty to worry about me."

It's none of the secret guards' business! The message has been delivered, and it's time for others to withdraw.

He didn’t care how much of a shock his appearance caused!

First, the Liu family, who had something to hide, were so frightened that they almost had a cardiac arrest. Someone spoke faster than his brain, "Secret Guard, the Liu family..."

"If you want to live, keep your mouth shut." This is the head of the Liu family. At first, they had no choice but to do so, so the Liu family never contacted the palace again. However, Qianyan's mother was still alive, so this secret was no longer a secret.

Sure enough, after being warned, the man was only afraid, not annoyed: "I... no wonder..."

No wonder the Liu family didn't dare to say anything. They had some guesses in their hearts, but they just hoped that the guesses were just guesses. Although they knew that the hope was slim.

So, one by one, they turned into quails.

The Chu family thought they were aboveboard, but they had just offended the Fan family! If they had known earlier, if they had known earlier...

But if they had known this earlier, would they have changed their attitude towards Chu Ci? They had a vague answer in their hearts, but they were unwilling to admit it.

If we don’t acknowledge it, does it mean it doesn’t exist?

No, it will only become a thorn, piercing fiercely between the Chu family and Chu Ling'er. The longer it lasts, the deeper it pierces.

And Chuci?

As long as the emperor doesn't act like a demon, you can eat and drink. Didn't my cheap husband order marinated lamb trotters, spicy lamb legs, and braised lamb last night? Let's get started.

The Fan family and the officials had eaten and drunk enough in the morning, so they were fine. But the Chu and Liu families suffered a great crime. They didn't have enough food in the morning, and they were frightened by the secret guards, so they were completely limp.

However, the Fan family seemed to be doing it on purpose. There was no news about breakfast yet, but lunch was already prepared.

At first, when I saw them frying lamb's trotters, I could comfort myself by thinking that it didn't matter if the Fan family was favored by the emperor; they were still corrupt.

However, when the aroma of marinated lamb's trotters, meat and unknown spices filled the air, they realized that it was not the Fan family that had fallen, but that they were too ignorant.

However, this is not the end. It is the beginning. Spicy lamb shanks and braised lamb in red sauce are both great dishes.

So for the whole morning, the fresh aroma of the spicy lamb legs and the rich flavor of the braised lamb stimulated their senses all the time.

So torturous!
