Rebirth: Hug Chu Guogong's Thigh Tightly

Chapter 196
On the other side, at the Duke of Chu's mansion

Aunt Chu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Seeing that it was time to pay monthly payments to the servants in the house, she couldn't come up with any money.

Unexpectedly, all the money she invested this time was lost.

Aunt Chu was stingy, and she was reluctant to use all her private money to subsidize.

After thinking about it, she actually came up with a rather bold idea.

She took out some antique vases that were temporarily unused in the house's warehouse and sold them. When she had enough money, she would buy them back.

As soon as these words came out, her grandmother, who had served her since childhood, was frightened and advised: "Miss, what should I do if others find out?"

Aunt Chu was in high spirits and could not care about this. She immediately said bitterly:
"How could anyone find out? No one has even taken a look at the things in the warehouse for three to five years. No one will find out!"

Aunt Chu cut off what Grandma was saying and happily took the pair of cards and went to the warehouse.

On the other side, in Songhe Courtyard.

Mrs. Chu was closing her eyes to rest, enjoying the little maid beating her legs, when she saw Aunt Zhou coming in with a cup of tea beside her.

"Just let the maids do these little things." Mrs. Chu slowly opened her eyes and said.

Aunt Zhou stepped forward and handed the tea cup to Mrs. Chu, saying, "I've been used to it these years."

Then he waved to the little maid who was beating her legs to go out, and then whispered:

"Old lady, just now I came in and listened to the little maids talking behind my back. This month's monthly payment has not been paid yet. It has been delayed for three days. I don't know what the person in Mengqi Pavilion is thinking."

Mrs. Chu seemed to have expected it, so she calmly took a sip of tea and said:

"Tell people to keep an eye on it. If there is any unusual movement, please report it at any time."

Aunt Chu here just took things from the warehouse and went out to sell them. She thought that what she did was perfect and she didn't notice anything.

In fact, the moment she took the things out of the house, the person who was staring at her had already reported the matter to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan was reviewing some memorials, and when he heard the sound, he just said: "Inform the old lady about this."

Old Mrs. Chu on the other side learned about this from the servant, and immediately asked: "What is your attitude?"

The boy just shook his head and said: "My father-in-law said that the old lady can make the decision on this matter."

"Go down."

After the young man left, Grandma Zhou hurriedly asked: "How does the old lady plan to deal with it?"

Mrs. Chu smiled and said:
"This little naughty boy clearly plans to keep it secret for the time being. When he gets married in the future, he will use this matter as an excuse to pave the way for his future wife, the housekeeper."

After hearing this, Grandma Zhou couldn't help but sigh: "My father-in-law is really well-intentioned."

In this way, Aunt Chu stole things from the warehouse and sold them, but no one was held accountable.She was so happy that she thought she was smart.

Xia Keyu is currently at Xia's house.

Fan Chenglong's visit to Beijing this time was not only to escort Fan Shuyao back to Beijing, but also to vent his anger on his sister.

Therefore, on the second day after returning to Beijing, the group headed to Xia's house in a furious manner.

"Your Majesty pays homage to Admiral Fan."

Before Xia Fengyuan could go to court, he saw a group of Fan family members rushing in.The leader is Fan Chenglong, who is eight feet tall and muscular.Xia Fengyuan's heart suddenly went up and down, and he was on tenterhooks.

He was most afraid of the two brothers from the Fan family. Fan Chenglong was extremely majestic, and Fan Chenghu was hot-tempered, so he could never beat him up.

In the past, Fan Shuyao was still there to protect him, but now he looked left and right and could not see Fan Shuyao.He was so panicked that sweat broke out on his forehead, and he knew that something bad might happen to him today.

"Xia Shilang, I am a first-rank official, but you are only a fourth-rank official. Why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

Fan Chenglong asked coldly as he deliberately came to cause trouble today.

This actually gave Xia Fengyuan a headache.Logically speaking, when a subordinate sees a superior official, he needs to kneel down and worship.

But after all, we are all colleagues who are officials in the same dynasty, and we can't guarantee that we will need each other's use whenever we need it.Therefore, people usually just bow to each other and do not kneel down deliberately.

Now, he knew that Fan Chenglong had bad intentions, but he was unwilling to bend his proud knees. He looked at Xia Keyu in a flattering manner, hoping that Xia Keyu would intercede for him.

But he still said flatteringly:
"Admiral Fan is Ke Yu's uncle, and the lower official is Ke Yu's father. Speaking of which, we can be considered relatives. Ke Yu, do you think so?"

Xia Keyu frowned pretending to be sad, wondering: "Father, do you still want to recognize me as your biological daughter?"

Xia Fengyuan immediately straightened his face and said, "What are you talking about? Of course you are my biological daughter."

Xia Keyu suppressed the ridicule in his heart, pretended to be sad, took out his handkerchief and pretended to wipe away his tears:
"Really? Why did Duke Chu show me the memorial written by my father that day, which stated that my father wanted to expel Ke Yu from the family tree and sever ties with Ke Yu?"

When Xia Fengyuan heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded.He didn't expect that Xia Keyu could actually get the memorial he gave to the emperor.

"Huh? What the hell is going on?!"

When Fan Chenglong heard this, his two thick black eyebrows stood up in anger, he snorted coldly, and asked.

Xia Fengyuan hesitated and couldn't say anything at the moment, and the sweat on his forehead became even more:

"Uh, there must be some misunderstanding."

"I guess dad didn't mean it." Xia Keyu's tone slowed down. Just as Xia Fengyuan breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Xia Keyu continue:
"Then why don't we call Duke Chu over and take out the memorial and take a look at the pair of handwritings to see if someone has impersonated dad?"

Xia Keyu's words caused Xia Fengyuan to panic immediately, his knees weakened and he fell to the ground.

He knew very well that if Duke Chu was called again, he would really not be able to die well today.

Xia Keyu was born a child, so naturally he couldn't bear Xia Fengyuan's kneeling and worshiping him, so he hurriedly avoided Xia Fengyuan and hid beside him.

Xia Fengyuan cried bitterly and showed a heartbroken look:

"Ke Yu, it's because I, a father, was confused for a moment, and I can't help you. Admiral Fan, for the sake of Ke Yu and De Mao, please be patient with me."

Fan Chenglong sneered and angrily said:
"If it weren't for the sake of the two children, do you really think you would still have a chance to stand here? Just because you failed my sister, it would be enough for you to die ten thousand times."

Xia Fengyuan kept saying yes.

"By the way, you allowed the concubine in the palace to falsely accuse Ke Yu of being innocent. How should you deal with this matter? Do you want me to submit a copy to the emperor and accuse you of doting on your concubine and killing his wife?"

At the moment, Xia Fengyuan only cared about protecting himself. After listening to Fan Chenglong's words, he hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said:

"I was confused for a moment and listened to Admiral Fan in everything."

Xia Keyu looked at Xia Fengyuan with disgust.They came today, firstly, to teach Xia Fengyuan a lesson, and secondly, to deal with Aunt Rong.
