He bowed and said, "It is my duty."
Regardless of what Concubine Wu meant, the two of them settled the matter while talking.
However, Concubine Wu had no objection and could only let Zhan Wuhui and a team of people escort them back to the city.
As the group returned to Licheng, the news that Concubine Wu was assassinated while going up the mountain to burn incense spread throughout Licheng.
This time, the King of Southwest will definitely get to the bottom of the matter just to save his own face.
No matter what that person's intentions are, as long as the King of Southwest faces him, they have a chance, right?
After returning to the Chen family, Mu Yunyao looked at Chen Qinghui and was relieved to see that his complexion was much better than before, and there was a hint of redness on his face due to the recuperation over the past few days.
After all, the loss was huge, and it won’t be easy to recover it in a short time.
"Take good care of it, and call me if you need anything."
Chen Qinghui nodded, and after the people left, he looked at her back with confusion in his eyes.
Who is she? Why is she so good to me? What conditions did my grandmother agree to for her to be so devoted to me?
If I couldn't figure it out, I stopped thinking about it. Soon I was exhausted and fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, there was someone beside me.
A young man who looked somewhat similar to him.
"Brother, are you awake?"
The boy saw that his face was full of surprise. He didn't know how long it had been since he saw this familiar face.
Chen Qinghui just stared at it, somewhat dazed.
He didn't know how long it had been since he last saw this face that was so familiar yet a little strange.
After a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Qing Feng?"
Chen Qingfeng nodded, stood up and poured him some water, then helped him feed her. Only then did Chen Qinghui feel his throat was not so hoarse anymore.
"Why are you back when you weren't in the academy?"
Ever since he was poisoned, his mother became concerned about his safety at home and rarely let him go home even on holidays.
Even after coming back, he was still busy with various things. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he last saw him.
Chen Qingfeng's voice was a little hoarse, and after a while he said, "I heard something happened at home, so I came back to check on him during my day off."
Chen Qinghui thought, nothing big has happened at home recently, how come the news has spread to the college.
Then he realized that if there was something going on in the mansion recently, it was that his grandmother had returned.
Not only did he move himself out of the dilapidated side courtyard, but he also took away his mother's power as the head of the household.
Almost instantly, Chen Qinghui knew what this younger brother, whom he hadn't seen for several years, was here to do.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, wondering what he was expecting.
Can't we see it from his family's attitude towards him after he became disabled?
From top to bottom, everyone in their family, except their grandmother, is cold-hearted and selfish.
Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, Chen Qinghui opened his mouth tentatively.
"So why did you come to see me...?"
Chen Qingfeng looked at the skinny man in front of him, cleared his throat, and said with a hint of disapproval.
"Brother, she is our mother after all. Even if she neglected you in the past, she gave us our lives anyway. You shouldn't hate her."
Chen Qinghui now understood why his good brother came here today.
It turned out that in his opinion, his mother's housekeeping power was taken away because he complained to his grandmother, which made his grandmother angry with him.
Now Chen Qinghui was really heartbroken. Chen Qingfeng had just returned from the academy. How did he know about this?
Needless to say, it was his good mother who told him. It turned out that this was the kind of person he was in his mother's heart.
She never felt that she was wrong, but now it was all her fault.
"Hehe...hehe..."
Chen Qinghui just thought it was funny, and he actually laughed out loud.
"You're tired after coming back so you should go back."
Chen Qinghui really didn't want to say even one more word to him. He was afraid that the last bit of brotherhood they had would be wiped out by him.
"Big brother..."
Chen Qinghui closed his eyes and didn't want to look at him, nor did he want to listen to what he said.
Chen Qingfeng still understood his elder brother, and seeing that he obviously didn't want to pay attention to him, he stood up.
However, when the man reached the door, he finally stopped.
Looking at the man with his eyes closed on the bed, he finally said.
"Even though you don't want to hear it, I still want to say that there are no bad parents in this world. Your mother has always favored you over the past decade or so. She has given you more than enough. You can't hold a grudge against her just because of her momentary negligence.
You should also understand how difficult it is for her. After all, she has been taking care of the affairs of this mansion during the years when your grandmother was away. She is also taking over these things for the first time, so it is normal that she is not busy, isn't it?
Besides? Didn’t you refuse to see us later? "
When Chen Qingfeng finished speaking, there was even a hint of blame in his tone.
But Chen Qinghui kept his eyes closed the whole time, like an old monk in meditation.
Seeing that he couldn't convince himself, Chen Qingfeng became a little annoyed. He shook his sleeves heavily and left.
Chen Qinghui just found it funny, and a line of tears quietly slid down from the corner of his eyes.
"You are useless. What's there to cry about?"
When Chen Qinghui opened his eyes, he saw Mu Yunyao standing at the door of the side room holding a bowl of cheese.
He spoke while eating from the bowl.
"Since they gave up on you, you should cheer up and live a good life to show them."
The way she acted was indeed something his grandmother would do, and sometimes even he was a little dazed, wondering if the person in front of him was his grandmother herself.
Chen Qinghui shook his head, threw away the unrealistic thoughts, and then said.
"I'm not sad, I just feel that my previous efforts were not worth it."
Regardless of what others say, he really has been sincere to his younger brother.
The two men are seven or eight years apart in age. When this younger brother was born, his mother and his father's concubines in the backyard were fighting each other fiercely, and this child was almost raised by him single-handedly.
He even went out of his way to find a teacher to teach him how to ride, shoot and fight on horseback.
He had long seen through his mother's coldness and that she only cared about him. He thought that this younger brother, whom he had raised since childhood, was more or less sincere to him.
Now it seems that they are indeed their biological mother, as they are exactly alike.
Mu Yunyao didn't want to listen to his excuses and spoke directly.
"If you think it's not worth it, then take good care of yourself. When you are well again, you can take everything back. Then, your family members who care about you and take good care of you will naturally come back."
Chen Qinghui smiled bitterly. It seemed that he didn't understand his family as well as this stranger who had only been at the Chen family for a few days.
She was right. No matter whether the family relationship was real or fake, as long as he held power, they would come to curry favor with him.
Seeing that the person in front of her had come to terms with it, Mu Yunyao didn't say anything else. She finished the cheese in her hand in a few bites and turned back to her room.
