Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

After a few days, all the people in the Chu family were beaten with boards in prison. Chen took the initiative to explain that she was not beaten with boards. After staying with Laozi for a few days and being released, she returned to her parents' home.

The eldest Chu, the third Chu, and Zhou were each sentenced to twenty lashes of the cane, while Liu and Old Chutou were each sentenced to fifty lashes of the cane.

When the execution was about to take place, Old Chu and Mrs. Liu were afraid that their bodies could not bear it, so they asked their son and daughter-in-law to take the punishment instead.

So the two of them were only beaten with twenty boards, and the rest of the Chu family, including the eldest and his wife and the third Chu, were punished with forty boards each. After the beatings, the people in the Chu family were released from prison.

They thought the matter was over and were secretly glad.

Little do they know that their every move is under surveillance.

The people of the Chu family returned home. Although they were still injured, they were still immersed in the joy of escaping a disaster.

At night, everyone in the old Chu family had fallen asleep one after another. Liu and Old Chutou could not sleep after being beaten with a stick, so they lay on the bed and talked.

"Old man, is this matter just over like that?" Liu asked worriedly.

“But what else can I do?

We are the only two people who knew about what happened back then, and we don’t even know whether the person who gave us the poison is dead or alive.

As long as we refuse to tell anyone, no one can do anything to us." Old Chu frowned and said while enduring the pain.

“Now, the family is penniless, and the bitch Chen has returned to her parents’ home, and there is not even a cook.

Ran Ge still needs to study and spend money, what should we do?" Liu looked worried.

Old Chu thought for a while and said in a deep voice:

"Don't worry about it. I have an idea in mind. We will have money in a few days."

Liu suddenly thought of something and sat up, but she pulled the wound. She said in surprise:

"Old man, are you going to use~~"

Before he could finish his words, Old Chu covered his mouth:

"Walls have ears, you forgot that our house was emptied.

You just need to wait and see, and you will get the result in a few days."

After hearing this, Liu felt relieved. As long as she had money to spend, it would be fine. She had been having a very hard time lately.

She said to Old Chu happily:

"Old man, you still have a way. Otherwise, our family can't do without you!"

Old Chu was pleased. He glanced at Liu proudly, tapped his pipe and said:

"There's nothing I can do about it. I don't want to take this step unless it's absolutely necessary. Go to sleep!"

After saying this, the two went to bed.

Baili Ye and Chu Qinghe turned off the computer screens and looked at each other.

Chu Qinghe's face was solemn, and he whispered, "Old Chu is really up to something here."

Baili Ye frowned and said, "Fortunately, you installed the camera, which saves a lot of trouble."

Chu Qinghe said:

“After what happened last time, I was too lazy to get it back, but I didn’t expect to use it again now.

Judging from the video, Old Chu definitely didn't tell the truth. What's his backup plan?"

Chu Qinghe said as he thought.

Baili Ye frowned and responded:

"From the looks of them, they seem to be hiding some secret. This secret must be related to the official's wife and the poisonous insect. What Old Chu said is definitely not the truth. What exactly is it?"

Chu Qinghe was also thinking about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said:

"Aye, do you think it could be related to my father?

Do you remember that I told you that my father is not the biological son of the Chu family?

If the child born by the official's wife was swapped by the old Chu family, the old Chu family's child was taken away by the official's wife, and my father was also taken back by the old Chu family, then it makes sense. "

Baili Ye frowned slightly after hearing Chu Qinghe's words, and said after thinking for a moment:

"Your guess is not impossible. If this is true, then Old Chu's back-up plan is likely related to this secret.

But what exactly does he plan to do? Is he trying to use this secret to exchange for silver? "

Chu Qinghe nodded and said:

“It’s possible.

And from their conversation, it seems that Old Chu is very confident that he can get the silver within a few days. There must be some secret that we don't know about.

We have to keep monitoring them to see who he is in contact with."

Baili Ye took a deep breath and said:

"Yes, if we follow the clues, we may be able to find out the truth of what happened back then.

If your father was really swapped, then there must be more secrets hidden behind this."

Chu Qinghe said:

"Do you remember the bundle I retrieved from the old Chu family's beam? It mentioned the capital city. I think we can start from that aspect."

Baili Ye thought for a moment and said:

“You’re right, Ziqian has already sent people to monitor the Chu family, all you have to do is watch the surveillance.

After all, this happened more than 30 years ago. If the official’s wife lived in the capital, we can ask my grandparents to see if they have any impression of her. Maybe we can find some clues.”

Chu Qinghe said: "Okay, then we will ask them tomorrow."

Baili Ye hugged Chu Qinghe into his arms and said, "There's no rush for this matter. Let's take our time. I believe we'll have an answer soon."

Chu Qinghe leaned in Baili Ye's arms and nodded, her heart full of anticipation. She hoped to solve the mystery as soon as possible and find out the truth about her father's life experience.

After breakfast the next day, Chu Qinghe and Baili Ye told this matter to their grandparents, aunt, Qin Minglang, the second and third Chu brothers, and the fourth Chu brother.

Chu Lao Si said in shock: "No wonder my parents hated my second brother since he was a child. Although he earns the most, he is not favored. I thought my parents were partial to him, but I didn't expect that he is not my biological son."

Chu Lao Er had a calm expression on his face. He said calmly, "Whether they are biological or not, it doesn't really matter. We don't live together anymore anyway."

Qin came forward and asked distressedly: "Brother Fu, it's okay, you still have our whole family to accompany you."

Chu Lao Er held Qin's hand and comforted her:

"I know. I'm glad I'm not their biological child. At least I feel comfortable now."

Madam Qin and Xiang also echoed:

"Yeah, it doesn't matter if you weren't born into that kind of family. The key is to live your life well now."

General Qin didn't say anything. He looked at Old Man Chu with his eyes, and the sense of familiarity came over him again.

He said to Madam Qin, "Madam, do you think Chuanfu looks like someone?"

After he reminded her, Old Madam Qin also looked at it carefully, searching slowly in her mind, and suddenly her eyes widened.

She looked at General Qin and said, "You mean~~~"

General Qin looked at his wife and nodded.

Qin saw that her father and mother seemed to know something, so she stepped forward and asked:

"Dad, Mom, do you know Brother Fu's background?"

Old Madam Qin smiled and said:

"No wonder your father said Chuanfu looked kind from the first moment he saw him, it turns out there is this connection.

At present, it seems that Chuanfu may really be related to the capital."

General Qin looked at everyone seriously, then fixed his eyes on Qing He and asked:

"Xiao He, do you have any clues about your father's background?"
