Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile
Chapter 35 Fighting for favor
The two elders’ voices were very low, but they couldn’t help it because Chu Ci was so close!
I didn't expect that the seemingly old-fashioned old lady and the always loyal old man would actually show off their love? Chu Ci's eyes immediately sparkled as if he had eaten something big.
"Ahem, ahem." Qian Chuanzi, who was standing by, heard the noise and guessed that Chu Ci and the others had almost finished talking. He faked coughing twice and walked over. "Congratulations on the young lady's safe return. We have been delayed for some time. Since the young lady is safe, let's take a rest tonight and leave tomorrow."
In an instant, the relaxed atmosphere disappeared, and everyone's faces became solemn.
On the contrary, Chu Ci had even prepared to be abandoned beforehand, and now that Qian Chuanzi and the others were willing to wait for him for two days, it was also out of friendship. "Okay, since we are leaving tomorrow, let's have a good meal tonight."
As Chu Ci spoke, he rushed through the crowd and searched a carriage outside. "The Tatars may not be good at other things, but they are experts at hunting. Since we went there, there is no reason for us to return empty-handed. So we took their kitchen and the pots."
There were so many officials present and everyone was on high alert that they didn't even notice the carriage.
Now seeing the carriage full of packages, the people from the Chu and Liu families were jealous.
Seeing this, Qianyan was afraid that the two families would make another stupid move. She didn't care that she was still in a cold war with Chu Ci, and hurriedly called the children of the Fan family. "Sister-in-law, we are here to help you."
After hearing Qian Yan's words, Chu Ci remembered what he had forgotten. He slapped his forehead. "Look at my memory. What you asked about my uncle just now is true. He was imprisoned in Black Cloud Mountain for five years."
Qianyan burst into tears when she heard this, "Is he okay?"
"Don't cry, don't cry! It's all over, everything will be fine in the future." Seeing the usually strong little girl crying, Chu Ci panicked. He hurriedly comforted her and asked Fan Jingrui for help.
Fan Jingrui always thought Chu Ci was omnipotent, but he never thought that there would be times when he needed help from others. He was immediately delighted and mouthed, "I'll be right there."
Chu Ci nodded, with perfect understanding.
But Qian Yan, who was carrying him on his back, didn't notice it, and continued to sob as he asked, "Will it?"
"I believe you, sister-in-law. I will." Chu Ci agreed too quickly, and Qian Yan immediately noticed her weakness. She then asked, "But no matter how good our life is, if it is obtained at the expense of your sacrifice, we will not be happy. So sister-in-law, you have to promise me that you will not do that again in the future. We should share the good and the bad together. OK?"
Even Qianxue joined in the fun, "And me, sister-in-law, you can't forget about me."
At this time, even if Qian Yan asked for the moon in the sky, Chu Ci would agree without hesitation: "Okay."
Having gotten the guarantee, Qianyan excitedly blinked at Qianxue, without any trace of the decadent look he had before.
Seeing this, Fan Jingrui's face was bulging with veins, and she kept reminding herself in her heart that they were all her sisters, her real sisters. But her wife was hers! So she stepped forward without hesitation and pulled Qianyan away from Chu Ci. "Pay attention to your manners."
In order to avoid Chu Ci's favoritism, he pulled Duan Tianji out by the way: "Don't you want to know about the situation of Uncle Duan? I'll tell you."
Although Qianyan was angry that her elder brother prevented her from getting close to her sister-in-law, she also wanted to know about her uncle's situation, so she had no choice but to obey.
This is more like it, it looks much better. Fan Jingrui felt relieved, and told Duan Tianji about his situation: "Uncle Tianji will work with his master, Mr. Dugu, to assist Uncle Shen in the investigation, which will take some time. But he said that as soon as he leaves the government office, he will come to find Sister Qianyan first."
"Looking for me? Isn't my uncle going back to the capital?" Duan Tianji's father and brother both served in the army and had a residence in the capital. It's just that his biological mother died early, and now his stepmother is the head of the family!
Fan Jingrui knew this, but he didn't want Qianyan to worry, so he gave another more legitimate reason: "I have to say, your sister-in-law is really a lucky star for our family. General Duan and his son were transferred to Lingnan Road."
Now, not only Fan Qianyan, but also several other younger generations of the Fan family who came to help could hardly suppress the joy on their faces.
However, such joy was seen as naked mockery by the Chu and Liu families. Especially Chu Xiaxiong. Chu Ci was obviously his daughter. If...if, would they also have a share in the good life of the Fan family?
He completely ignored the fact that only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity, and Chu Ci was not open-hearted to the Fan family from the beginning.
Li Yanran felt even more miserable and blurted out, "What's there to be proud of? You will be exiled in the end anyway."
It just so happened that Chu Yuhao took advantage of the chaos to sneak over and deliver sesame cakes to his father. Hearing this, he said unhappily on the spot: "That's just because I was born in your belly."
The implication is that if the Chu family had not found Chu Ci, she would not have encountered this series of disasters.
Li Yanran wanted to teach this brat a lesson immediately, but Chu Junyi stopped her. "Mother, Hao'er is just a child."
With his father's support, Chu Yuhao became bolder and even made a face at Li Yanran, "Lelule, I can't catch you, you bad grandma, I can't catch you." Then he ran away mischievously.
Chu Ci didn't know that because of him, the Chu family, which had been tending to be peaceful, was in turmoil again.
She hadn't eaten properly for two days, and now she just wanted to reward her stomach. And her elder sister Fan Qianxi, who had been missing for a long time, seemed to know that she needed her at this moment, and came out from nowhere.
Chu Ci was slightly startled, "Sister, what are you doing?"
Fan Qianxi seemed to know what Chu Ci wanted to ask: "Qianxue and Qianxi are too noisy. They practiced martial arts and cried at the same time in the middle of the night. I went out to hide away."
Chu Ci heard this and knew that his elder sister didn't want to talk more. Although he felt strange, he didn't force her. He smiled and said, "Okay, let's follow the old rules. I'll prepare the seasoning and recipes, and my elder sister will cook. Qianxue, Qianyan, you can help out. We'll have a barbecue dinner today."
"Barbecue dinner? Sister-in-law, are you going to eat all of this at once?" Qianyan pointed at the half-rooster, three pheasants, two rabbits, and half of a small wild boar on the ground.
So many? Is my sister-in-law starving? Qianyan subconsciously put her hand on Chu Ci's forehead, "I'm fine, I don't have a fever!"
Chu Ci immediately knew what the little girl was thinking and glared at her fiercely. "Eating venison and chicken together, little girl, are you crazy?"
"Is it not possible?" Not only Qianyan, but even the eldest sister Fan Qianxi was surprised.
