Not following the expected path? Reborn and unexpectedly married to a demon.

Regarding that incident last time, Hu Li said it was difficult to investigate.

When Jin Wuchen heard Wang Youshi's name, he felt it was both unexpected and reasonable.

If they did it for Chu Luo, then it's normal that it's hard to investigate.

But how could Chu Luo be involved with them?

Chu Luo looked at Jin Wuchen with concern.

She had no idea how deep the entanglement between Jin Wuchen and Wang Youshi was.

Judging from his actions in dealing with those people, this was only one side of him in front of her.

She wondered what he would be like in places she had never seen before.

Chu Luo is not really a girl in her teens.

Having lived through several lifetimes, she found it difficult to wholeheartedly trust anyone other than herself.

Therefore, she never had too many expectations or hopes for anyone.

Even though she knew that Jin Wuchen had some feelings for her.

Seeing that Jin Wuchen remained silent, Chu Yinmei assumed that her father's words had had some effect.

Gradually gaining some confidence, he slowly got up and said:

"Wang Youshi and his gang are lecherous and disgusting, yet they have plenty of money. Their favorite things are listening to the pipa and beautiful women."

"I wonder how Chu Luo managed to get them to help."

Seeing that Jin Wuchen still didn't say anything, Chu Yinmei must have started to have doubts in his mind.

She continued, "Chu Luo was charming from a young age. When she was eight or nine, many people came to inquire about her, saying they wanted to be engaged to her."

Even after your engagement, she continued to associate with several scholars, who never forgot her.

Jin Wuchen's face remained expressionless.

Chu Yinmei thought that this was because he was unhappy.

As a man, she didn't believe he could tolerate it.

Chu Luo didn't dare to take his hand, so she could only tug at his sleeve.

Jin Wuchen looked at her. She was protecting her mother-in-law. He saw the caution, scrutiny, and wariness in her eyes.

She is worried and scared.

He was already consumed by jealousy, but then he felt a pang of heartache.

What exactly did she go through? What girl who was raised with such care can be constantly on guard?

They're all from this family in front of me.

It's all their fault, especially Chu Songyuan.

Chu Luo was his biological daughter, but he showed no intention of protecting her whatsoever.

She even deliberately told him about Wang Youshi, fearing that he would be nice to Chu Luo.

He thought his little scheme was incredibly clever.

Chu Songyuan is irresponsible, heartless, and thinks all men are the same.

Jin Wuchen smiled at her and said softly, "We'll talk about our business when we get home. Let's deal with these people first."

Chu Luo was surprised that he wasn't angry or upset, but instead comforted her.

He doesn't seem to be that easily angered or unreasonable, so could she trust him a little more?

She smiled and replied, "Okay."

This scene was witnessed by Chu Songyuan and his companions.

No one expected Jin Wuchen to react this way.

Those of them who were watching from the sidelines could clearly see that Jin Wuchen was actually feeling sorry for Chu Luo.

Chu Yinmei thought Jin Wuchen had gone mad. "She's a womanizer, a flirt, a fickle woman, why do you feel sorry for her?"

Jin Wuchen raised his hand and Chu Yinmei was sent flying three or four meters by his internal force, spitting out blood.

"Shut up, if you say another word about her, I'll crush a bone in your body."

"Son-in-law, you mustn't! We're family, after all!" Chu Songyuan quickly begged for mercy.

Madam Chu hurriedly went to Chu Yinmei's side and helped her up.

She realized that she couldn't use ordinary people's thinking to understand Jin Wuchen's thoughts.

Knowing her unpredictable temper, there's no point in trying to please her.

He doesn't care about any of them at all, and he won't care what you do; he'll take your life without hesitation.

Now, we should start with Chu Luo instead.

He understood Chu Luo's reasoning and wouldn't go against her wishes.

But if they slander Chu Luo again...

He might not only not blame Chu Luo, but he might even immediately kill them to entertain that little bitch Chu Luo.

She looked at Chu Luo and said, "Chu Luo, you asked so many questions just now, you probably didn't want answers, did you?"

"You want your mother to feel disillusioned with the master and with the Chu family?"

"Make her willingly go with you"

Chu Luo sighed in admiration at how clever the First Madam was.

She was afraid of her mother and couldn't bear to part with Chu Songyuan.

"She is a concubine of the Chu family. If she wants to leave the Chu family with a clean record, besides a letter of divorce, she also needs the slave registration documents I have."

Madam Chu was well aware of Chu Luo's weaknesses.

"What do you want in return?" Chu Luo asked.

Madam Chu looked at Jin Wuchen and said, "Make sure we live well."

Jin Wuchen shook his head. "I won't accept this deal. I have a way to make Master Chu write a divorce agreement, then I'll kill you and take your slave registration documents."

"I've already hidden the slave registration documents. You won't get them after we're dead. Besides, if you kill us, it'll be Chu Luo who bears the infamy."

Chu Songyuanjian spoke frankly, and also said:

"The Chu family was forced into all of this today. The Regent's men knew that the mother and daughter could play the pipa, and they pressured us."

"The canal gang burned three of my boatloads of goods, leaving me with no way out. As a merchant, it's hard for me not to be tempted by coercion and enticement."

"If you insist on taking their lives, I will have nothing left, and I will rather die than let you have your way."

Chu Luo found his excuses and his unwavering loyalty to the First Madam and her daughter extremely ironic.

A feeling of grievance welled up inside me.

He still doesn't think he did anything wrong; he believes it was all because others forced him into it.

In front of his wife and daughter, however, he was a good husband and father.

Chu Luo asked unwillingly, "You were willing to die for them, as their father and husband, but what about me and my mother? What are we to you?"

"You tricked my mother into coming here, but I am your own flesh and blood. No one forced you to exist."

"What is it about us that we're inferior to them? You treat us worse than servants."

"You let that mother and daughter beat and scold us as they pleased, and even when they wanted to sell us to Jiegu, you acted as if nothing had happened."

"why?"

The question she had wanted to ask for countless lifetimes, Chu Luo finally asked at this moment.

Chu Songyuan opened his mouth but couldn't give an answer.

Chu Luo cried out, "My mother didn't have to marry you. It was your sweet talk and scheming that tricked her into becoming a concubine!"

Jin Wuchen supported her. He had never seen Chu Luo scream so heartbreakingly, and he felt extremely distressed.

Chu Songyuan waved his hand and said:

"I paid for it too. Concubines are bought and sold, just like you buy things on the street. You buy them on a whim, and the person being bought should be grateful to the master."

Chu Luo laughed in exasperation.

She finally understood that she and her mother were living, breathing people with feelings for each other.

I want fairness and justice.

But Chu Songyuan never treated them as human beings.

Instead, they are tradeable goods and livestock.

Lin Yifu's heart had long been broken, but she had calmed down by now.

Chu Luo was very sad and never wanted to have anything to do with this place again.

"I promise you, I will erase all traces of my mother and me from the divorce papers, slave papers, and the Chu family genealogy."

Chu Luo didn't want to get entangled; she just wanted to get away as soon as possible.

At this moment, Jin Wuchen wished he could tear Chu Songyuan into eight pieces:

"Prepare your things in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, or I'll personally send you to hell."

Madam Chu said, "She's a concubine, so what's this talk of divorce?"

Jin Wuchen raised his hand and slapped her across the face, knocking out most of her teeth.

"My patience and compassion are limited; if I say 'let's separate,' then it means 'let's separate.'"
