Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 556
When Chu Zhi returned to the Hou's Mansion, Han Zhan had just returned from the palace.

He saw Chu Zhi's expression was wrong, and before he could ask, Chu Zhi hugged Han Zhan's waist.

"Don't move, don't ask, just ask me to hug you for a while."

Han Zhan sat on the couch and held Chu Zhi in his arms, feeling extremely distressed.

He knew in his heart that something happened to Chu Zhi when he went to the Chu Mansion, otherwise it wouldn't be like this, and the only one who can affect Chu Zhi's mood is Wu Shi.

The Wu family is a knot that Chu Zhi can't get past.

Chu Zhi hugged Han Zhan that night, and shed tears silently all night. In the end, even the tears were gone, but he just stared at the green gauze curtain above his head in a daze with his sore eyes.

In the early winter, the dawn was very late, and it was drizzling outside, which was bitingly cold, and it seemed to freeze people when it fell on the hands.

Qian Momo hurriedly ran to the eaves and whispered to Xia'er: "It's already snowing at this time in previous years, but it's still raining this year. This rain is bitingly cold, even colder than snow."

Chu Zhi slowly opened his eyes.

"Are you awake?" As soon as Chu Zhi moved, Han Zhan opened his eyes and asked immediately.

In fact, both of them knew that neither of them fell asleep last night.

"It's dawn." Han Zhan glanced at the gray sky outside the window, "It's almost here."

Chu Zhi made a gesture to get up, but was pushed back by Han Zhan.

"You don't have to get up today, I will help you with all the affairs of the house, so you should rest well."

"No need." Chu Zhi smiled, "I have to go back to the Chu Mansion later."

Han Zhan didn't know, so he said, "What are you doing back to the Chu Mansion? Didn't you just go there yesterday?"

Chu Zhi smiled without explaining.

She asked Xia'er to come in, and changed herself into a plain white dress embroidered with dark patterns of pear blossoms. Han Zhan frowned upon seeing it.

When Nanny Qian came in, she was surprised to see Chu Zhi's attire, and scolded Xia'er: "Why do you wear such plain clothes for Master? It's like..." going to a funeral.

This dress is one of many that His Majesty passed away and ordered Xiu Niang to rush out.

Xia'er glanced at Nanny Qian, then at Chu Zhi, and seeing that Chu Zhi hadn't spoken, she silently helped her with her hair.

After the bun was finished, Xia'er wanted to wear silver for Chu Zhi's hairpin, but Chu Zhi refused. She opened a box in front of her, and inside was the white bead flower that she had just brought two days ago.

She took out two of them, put them in her bun, and then applied the powder with her own hands, spreading it on her face carefully.

Seeing this, Han Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had guessed something, a dark light flashed across the bottom of his eyes.

He didn't say anything, he just ordered the maid next to him to take back a moon-white brocade robe, and replaced the crimson-purple brocade robe on him.

When Chu Zhi was ready, the servants of the Hou Mansion came to report in a hurry.

"Master, the Chu family came to report the funeral, saying that the Wu family of the second room...has gone!"

Hearing this, Xia'er and Qian Momo's expressions changed, and they gasped.

Chu Zhi helped Xia'er's hand up, and said to Han Zhan, "Come with me!"

Han Zhan nodded slightly, but before Chu Zhi moved, he pulled Chu Zhi to sit on the stool next to him, and then said to Xia Er, "Go and bring breakfast."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Chu Zhi again: "I'm busy later, I don't know if I can have time to eat today, or use something first, the body is important."

Fearing that Chu Zhi would refuse, he added another sentence: "Otherwise I will feel bad."

Chu Zhi drooped his eyelids: "Okay."

The breakfast has been prepared long ago, and it is delicious in color and fragrance, but in Chu Zhi's mouth, it tastes like chewing wax.

After eating breakfast, when they arrived at the Chu Mansion, the mansion had already started to put up white sails one after another.

Seeing that Chu Zhi and Han Zhan had arrived, before Han Zhan could speak, Chu Zhang said, "Your mother had an emergency last night and left before the doctor came. "

Chu Zhi pursed his lips.

Chu Zhang said: "Your mother is suffering from an emergency, so why don't you go see her?"

In fact, everyone present knew how Wu's death was well understood. Chu Zhang said all this to give Chu Zhi a step down. Chu Zhi and Wu's quarrel was so tense, so it's better not to see each other now.

What's more, Mrs. Wu was right. Now Han Zhan is the crown prince's confidant. The Zhongyonghou Mansion has become an important court official. It doesn't matter that Chu Zhi is his daughter, but Han Zhan is different. After all, he is the young prince of the Zhongyonghou Mansion. Lord, he is extremely defensive. If Han Zhan knows what Wu said earlier, and that Wu almost killed Chu Zhi, then the entire Chu family may be implicated by Wu, so Chu Zhang has selfishness, so it is not called They went to see Wu Shi.

Chu Zhang went on to say: "Your Majesty has just left, and the crown prince has not yet registered. The current situation is unstable, so we will simplify everything about your mother's funeral, and save everything that can be saved. When you have a chance in the future, we will invite the eminent monk of Hongfa Temple to do it for you. Mother is chanting scriptures and praying for blessings, do you think this is good? In fact, I also think that your mother's departure is too sudden, and there should be a rich burial, but the current situation does not allow it."

After Chu Zhang finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed.

Chu Zhi sighed: "Father can figure it out."

Chu Zhi sat in the hall for a while, and Aunt Huang came.

She has a good relationship with Chu Zhi, and she was afraid that Chu Zhi would feel uncomfortable and embarrassed sitting here, so she said to Chu Zhi: "If you have nothing to do and don't dislike it, you can come and sit with me, I have prepared your favorite tea, just call me Try it and see the difference from before."

Knowing that Aunt Huang might have something to say to her, Chu Zhi said to Han Zhan, "Then I'll go to Aunt Huang's place and sit down. If you have something to do, you can go and do your work first, don't worry about me."

Han Zhan squeezed Chu Zhi's fingers through his wide sleeves, and comforted her silently: "Go ahead, don't worry about me, I'll sit here and wait for you, don't worry."

After returning to the courtyard, Aunt Huang personally made a pot of tea for Chu Zhi, and then said to Chu Zhi, "Master went there in person last night."

Chu Zhi lowered his head and blew on the floating tea on the water. Aunt Huang glanced at her and saw that she was expressionless, neither sad nor happy, she really couldn't see anything, so she continued.

"It was Qiao Xinyu who accompanied the master. I heard that the master ordered Qiao Xinyu to buy the medicine. Don't worry, Mrs. Wu left very quickly and basically didn't suffer any crimes."

Auntie Huang has seen how Mrs. Wu treats Chu Zhi. In addition, Mrs. Wu went crazy yesterday and almost killed Chu Zhi because of Chu Xi. Cursing secretly in my heart, Mrs. Wu is a lunatic!
How can there be such a selfish and hideous person in the world, it is a waste of being a mother.

What Aunt Huang didn't say was that when Chuzhang went last night, Mrs. Wu still yelled at Chuzhang, cursing Chuzhi with the most vicious words to die.

In the end, it was Chu Zhang who made a decisive decision, ordered his servants to arrest Wu Shi, opened Wu Shi's mouth and gulped down the medicine himself.

Fearing that Mrs. Wu would spit out the medicine and die, Chu Zhang tightly covered Mrs. Wu's mouth, which made Mrs. Wu swallow all the poison.

After a while, Mrs. Wu became silent.

The few women present are all the sons of the mansion, their mouths are very strict, and they all have families, the whole family are servants in the Chu mansion, so they are not afraid of them speaking out at all.
