farmer's husband

Chapter 298
Chu Xu's smiling face immediately faded away.

"Okay!" He nodded quickly, and obediently followed Chai Dong away.

When Chun Zhi's brothers and sisters saw this, they were all baffled. "Sister, brother-in-law, what did he mean by what he said to Mr. Chu? Mr. Chu's surname is Chu. Everyone knows about this. Why don't you tell others about it?"

"You have to wait for him to come out and ask them about this." Chun Zhi spread her hands, she was still wondering why Chai Dong came here all of a sudden?
But...Chu's surname...Chu!

A light flashed in Chun Zhi's mind, and she suddenly thought of one thing—isn't Chai Dong's mother's surname Chu?

So, is it possible that Chai Dong's mother has something to do with Chu Xu and the others?

Then, she thought of Chu Xu's and even the county's wife's strange attitude towards them... If that was the case, then what she had always felt a little weird before could be explained.

But Chai Dong, he took Chu Xu into the study, immediately closed the door with a slam, and looked back at him coldly.

There was still a playful smile on Chu Xu's face: "Chai Jieyuan, you called me over but didn't speak, what do you mean by just looking at me like that? Do you have bigger eyes than the two of us?"

"I don't think I need to say anything more now. I called you here to wait for you to tell the truth." Chai Dong said calmly.

"Be honest? Chai Jieyuan, I really don't understand what you mean by that!" Chu Xu plucked his ears, his face full of confusion and helplessness.

The corners of Chai Dong's lips tugged lightly. "It's already at this time, do you think it's useful for you to pretend to be stupid again? You must already know what I went through in the capital."

Chu Xu still just smirked and didn't speak.

Chai Dong's eyes darkened, and he finally said a few more words. "My biological mother's surname is Chu, your surname is also Chu, and the county magistrate's surname is Chu. Moreover, when the county magistrate's wife came over, I specially called my wife to come over, and said some specious things to her. Then, you jumped out on your own initiative You want to help my family build a house, and we also want to open a Yizhichun with us - named after my wife alone! Don't say that you just want to do good deeds on a whim, people like you can't do good deeds for no reason!"

"Okay!" Chu Xu spread his hands, "You should have found out that something was wrong a long time ago, right? But it's hard for you to hold back until now."

As he spoke, he sighed. "Actually, the matter is similar to what you guessed. My family does have some connections with your mother's natal family—no, to be precise, our family has always been attached to their family. Your mother is a descendant of the Guangling Chu family, a direct descendant, Your status is unspeakable. When your father came to Beijing to rush for the exam, he was recommended to meet her father, who is your grandfather. Because he was outstanding in learning, your grandfather was astonished as a heavenly man. At that time, your mother was quietly hiding Peeping from behind the screen, she fell in love with your father at a glance. So, your grandfather made the decision and betrothed your mother to him. You won’t look at other women too much. At that time, many women in the capital envied your mother very much.”

"And we..." Chu Xu smiled, "My county grandpa and uncle are already the offshoots of the Chu family, they are the kind of offshoots that are not directly looked at by the subordinates of the direct branch every time they go to the Chu family to pay homage. You can tell how far you have come. Because we didn't have much promise here, and we didn't produce a few useful people, so they didn't care much. But it was precisely because of this that when your father's incident happened, the whole All the direct descendants of the family were implicated, but our branch was spared."

When Chai Dong heard this, his eyes immediately darkened.

"What else?" He asked quietly.

"Is there more? Oh, in terms of seniority, you can say that you are our grandpa, that is, the uncle of the county magistrate. According to seniority, we want to call you uncle grandpa." Chu Xu was reluctant Said.

Chai Dong frowned again. "You know that's not what I want to know. I want to know, what kind of people are my parents? Where is my father's ancestral home? Does he still have relatives in his hometown? Where is my mother? Has her natal family been destroyed?"

Chu Xu's expression suddenly became extremely serious. "Haven't you already inquired about your father and mother's behavior in the capital? Why bother yourself now? As for his ancestral home, you don't need to inquire about it, because the Chai clan has been established since the incident happened. Claiming to drive him out of the clan, from now on he is no longer a member of the Longxi Chai family. As for your mother's family, they actually got along with them when your father took refuge in the Seventh Prince and started doing evil. They all severed the relationship. Later when your father had an accident, they also took advantage of the chaos. Originally, they wanted to show some sincerity to the new emperor, so that the new emperor would let them go. But who knows, the new emperor spent those years under him His subordinates have suffered too much, and he hates him to the bone. But your family is weak, and your mother committed suicide early with your brothers and sisters. Your father alone is not enough to relieve the anger. Therefore, he still did not let Chu go. The family is just left to their whole family and the next dead body."

After all, he let out a low breath again. "However, when they talked about it to the outside world, they still claimed that because the Chu family used to collude with the courtiers, now they have come to their senses and felt that they had no face to face the world, so they committed suicide. After the new emperor heard about it, he was still sad for a long time."

Since it was suicide, it was voluntary, and the emperor completely disregarded the relationship.So the emperor can pretend to lament a few words, say a few words of condolences, and then naturally there will be courtiers who flatter him to tell him that the matter has nothing to do with him, and everything is caused by the Chu family!Then, he could put the matter aside with peace of mind.

"Sure enough, none of them are good things." Chai Dong twitched the corner of his mouth and said something to himself.

Chu Xu sighed again.

"Actually, we really didn't know that Mrs. Wang quietly brought you back from the capital. We all thought that you were carried by the new emperor to continue to vent your dissatisfaction with your father. We also thought that your whole family was dead. If we hadn't met Wang Zongping later and learned about the existence of you and your mother from him, we wouldn't have thought about it."

"So, what you did before was to test us." Chai Dong said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Chu Xu nodded, "This Wang is not your mother's personal maid, at least my aunt did not meet her when she went to visit your mother. But my aunt has always known that your mother took her in. Moreover, it is not only Wang Shi, in order to alleviate your father's crimes, your mother has helped many people who were harmed by your father in private. However, in the end, when something happened to your family, those people either looked on indifferently or made trouble, and only Wang was the only one. People stepped forward, rescued you, and brought you up to this age."

As he spoke, he smiled again. "Of course, based on what your father did to their family back then, you really have no right to let others repay you with virtue. So, when we first found out that there was a you named Chai in Wangjia Village, we were half-believing. Uncle called me In the past, I discussed those things with me to test your true ability - your father was born as a poor student, and rose steadily to become the most important advisor of the Seventh Prince's subordinates. His natural wisdom played a great role here. You If it is his biological son, then he must be so stupid. So, I will test it out first, and then my aunt will come again when it is almost done. When my aunt is sure, then the matter will be completely confirmed.

"But you haven't mentioned a word to me." Chai Dong's voice turned cold.

"Why mention it? We mentioned it, will you believe it?" Chu Xu just looked at him fixedly, "If we tell you that your father is a treacherous minister, he will use any means to achieve his goals. Anyone who is good or bad, as long as he stands in his way Lu, he kicked away without mercy, do you believe it? Are you afraid that you are going to jump over and fight with me?"

Chai Dong's eyelashes lowered slowly. "You're right."

"So!" Chu Xu walked over slowly and patted him on the shoulder, "Go to the capital, and you can hear the truth from people who have experienced it back then. This is the best way. Now, since you already know, then stay in Sanjiang Province well from now on! With your ingenuity and our escort, you will definitely have a good time here."

Why do these people always let him stay in Sanjiang province honestly?Could it be that he can't go anywhere except this place?
Chai Dong's eyes darkened, and he pushed Chu Xu's hand away. "I don't!"
