The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

At this moment, Aunt Liu also hurried over. Seeing the scene in front of her, Aunt Liu was completely shocked: "What is going on!?"

Chu Zhengying stumbled back two steps: "No... This is impossible! How could a few Foundation Establishment cultivators possibly break my formation!?"

"No, who told you we're all at the foundation-building stage?" Chu Ying crossed her arms and walked in front of Chu Zhengying: "My senior brother is in the late Jindan stage, much stronger than you, Second Uncle!"

Chu Zhengying couldn't believe it: "Big Brother? This kid looks about the same age as you, how could he be in the Golden Core Stage!?"

Chu Ying rolled her eyes. "Because he's a genius. Do you think everyone has to be like you, fifty years old, to reach the Golden Core stage?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Zhenghong also walked out of the room.

At this time, the ropes tied on his hands had already been untied by Yan Chuan. Seeing that Chu Zhenghong had also been released, Chu Zhengying began to panic.

"Big... big brother!"

"You bastard!" Chu Zhenghong's voice was as deafening as thunder, and the rage in his eyes almost swallowed Chu Zhengying. He took a step forward and said through gritted teeth, "I don't have a brother like you!"

If he could, he would have cut Chu Zhengying into pieces right now. However, now was not the time.

Chu Zhenghong took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said solemnly with a cold look in his eyes, "You had an affair with the eldest concubine, murdered your eldest brother, and imprisoned your niece and a group of disciples from the Xianyun Sect. How dare a scum like you become the head of the family? I will write a letter to report everything you have done to my father. I advise you to hand over the position of acting head of the family back to me immediately!"

Chu Zhengying's face turned pale instantly, and his whole body seemed to be tottering as if it had lost its support. It was only when Aunt Liu came in time that she supported him.

Chu Zhenghong, who witnessed this scene, couldn't help but sneer: "Liu Yurong, you shameless thing! How dare you show up here!?"

Liu Yurong's body froze for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. She pursed her lips and raised her head to meet Chu Zhenghong's gaze. "Master, you can't blame me for this. I've been in your mansion for so long, bearing children and raising children for you, yet you've never given me a legitimate place, nor have you been willing to make me your equal wife! Do you think you deserve me?"

These words were powerful, but before Chu Zhenghong could respond, Chu Ying, who was standing beside him, could no longer hold back and refuted mercilessly, "You're just an actor! If it weren't for my mother's kindness in bringing you back from that run-down opera troupe, you wouldn't even be a concubine now. How dare you dream of being a co-wife? Who the hell are you to be on the same level as my mother?"

Chu Ying's words were like a sharp dagger, piercing Liu Yurong's heart.

Concubine Liu's expression changed, but she quickly regained her composure. She raised an eyebrow, a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "So, you can't blame me for switching sides. After all, Second Master promised me that he would make me his concubine once he became the head of the family. People always strive for higher positions. Isn't that a simple principle?"

"Bullshit! Adulterers, you're actually making such a high-sounding excuse for what you did!" Chu Zhenghong suppressed his anger. "What do you mean by bearing children for me? You know exactly whose father Ajie is! For so many years, you've been having an affair behind my back on the first and fifteenth of every month. It's really hard on you. It's a pity that you made the wrong bet. Soon, both of you will be ruined and expelled from the Chu Mansion!"

"No!" Liu Yurong gritted her teeth. "It's not over yet. As long as the Second Master becomes the Patriarch, then my bet is not wrong. After all, the position of Patriarch may or may not be decided yet!"

"That's right, that's right... I haven't lost yet, hahahahahahaha." Chu Zhengying suddenly remembered something and laughed out loud, confusing Chu Ying beside him.

She quickly asked, "What do you mean by not losing yet? What does that mean?"

Seeing this, Chu Zhengying's smile became even more unbridled, as if he was mocking Chu Zhenghong: "Brother has been trapped for so long, it's normal that he doesn't know the news from the outside world. Father felt that he might have a breakthrough a few months ago and went into seclusion! Before the retreat, he specifically asked Zheng Lao to be in charge of notarization and set a rule: whoever can get the support of more aristocratic families within four months will be the next head of the family! And tomorrow happens to be the last day of the four months. Even if you write a letter to father now, it will be meaningless! Because he has already retreated, this letter will not be delivered to him before he comes out, and by that time-"

Chu Zhengying paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, his tone full of sarcasm and arrogance: "Oh, by that time, I'm afraid I will have already taken the position of patriarch and become the real ruler of the entire Chu family!"

Hearing this, Chu Ying's face changed and she turned to look at Chu Zhenghong, as if to confirm the truth of this matter.

However, Chu Zhengying did not give them much time to think. He pressed on, "I've already gained the support of the three northern families. But you haven't made any moves yet. Big brother, what can you use to fight me?"

"Who said I didn't make any moves?" Chu Zhenghong sneered. "Even as acting patriarch, one needs support to become the true patriarch. That's why I've been planning ahead for years and have already secured the support of the four southern families. In terms of numbers, I have you beat!"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Zhengying, who had been arrogant at first, suddenly changed his expression, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head. He froze in place: "When did this happen!?"

Madam Liu, who was standing beside him, was so shocked that she lost her composure. She covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes wide open. "Impossible! This... this is impossible!" She shook her head repeatedly. "I have been by your side all these years. If you really did something, how could I not have heard anything?"

Chu Zhenghong gave her a cold look, his disgust evident. He spoke slowly, his voice stern and mocking, "I just thought you didn't need to worry about these tedious matters. I didn't expect you to be a whistleblower!"

Having said that, Chu Zhenghong's eyes suddenly became sharp, sweeping across Aunt Liu like a knife blade, scaring her so much that she stepped back repeatedly, clutching Chu Zhengying's sleeves tightly with both hands, as if seeking shelter.

Chu Zhenghong quickly gathered his thoughts, then thought of something else. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Chu Zhenghong say to Chu Ying, "Chu Ying, go to the Zheng family and invite Mr. Zheng over. On the way, be sure to tell him about your father's experiences recently and your second uncle's shameful behavior."

"Yes, I will go and invite someone over to seek justice for us!"

After saying that, she immediately turned around and left quickly.

Here, Chu Zhenghong saluted with Yan Chuan and his group. "Everyone, it's really a joke that you're being shown such an unbearable side on your first visit to the Chu Mansion. But since we're here, let's all be witnesses together."
