Chapter 136 Aren't you just reopening Gu Junze's wounds?
Chapter 136 Aren't you just reopening Gu Junze's wounds?
Chu Ruohan walked slowly out of the imperial study and saw that Gu Junze was already waiting outside.
Chu Ang is well hidden and she can't find him, so she'll expose the matter to the public and post an imperial edict.
If he's so capable, he should stay hidden in the shadows for the rest of his life and never come out.
The two smiled at each other, and Chu Ruohan pushed the wheelchair and walked quickly towards the palace gate. She was going to pick up her parents and take them home!
The carriage sped along, the street scenes outside the window flashing by like phantoms, before stopping at the entrance of Dali Temple.
Chu Ruohan jumped off the carriage in a panic, not having time to straighten her slightly disheveled clothes.
The Court of Judicial Review had already received the Emperor's decree to release the prisoners.
"Father, Mother, are you alright? Everything is settled at home. I'll go back later and wash myself thoroughly with mugwort water to get rid of any bad luck..."
Chu Ruohan kept talking, but Ying Qing's gaze fell on the little person next to Chu's mother.
Chu Yueshu's once round face has become much thinner.
Yingqing resisted the urge to pull her into his arms; there were too many people here…
Upon returning to the Chu family mansion, the servants had been waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing the master, mistress, young lady, and young master return safely, they were all overjoyed and knelt down to welcome them.
Chu Ruohan instructed the servants to prepare hot water and meals so that they could have a good rest...
The joy of surviving the ordeal filled the mansion until nightfall, when Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze left in a carriage.
As soon as he stepped into Hongmeng Academy, he bumped into Song Ruyan.
Chu Ruohan staggered backward from the impact, and after regaining her balance, she heard Song Ruyan say, "Where did you go? Why did it take you so long to come back?"
During this time, Song Ruyan was ordered to follow Aunt Fang, but she never expected that following her would lead her to a shocking revelation.
He rushed back to report, but the person was nowhere to be found.
She was unaware of what had happened in the capital.
“Let me tell you, that Aunt Fang didn’t go to offer incense at all; she went to have sex with men,” Song Ruyan said impatiently, her eyes wide and her face full of excitement and smugness.
These words immediately caught Chu Ruohan's attention. Her slightly tired eyes instantly sharpened, and her eyebrows involuntarily twitched upwards.
Song Ruyan became even more excited. "She went to Ning'an Temple. I thought she was really going to worship Buddha and offer incense. I was planning to keep watch outside, but who knew that she left through a hidden tunnel not long after she entered the temple."
"I was stunned. I hesitated for a moment, but gritted my teeth and followed her. Guess what? She went to a huge mansion, far more magnificent than the Marquis of Anyang's residence..."
As she spoke, she gestured, making Chu Ruohan dizzy.
"I've come up with a way to sneak in. The servants there all call Aunt Fang 'Madam' and Chu Nanxin 'Miss'," she chattered on and on.
"She was pregnant, yet she was still having sex with that man, using all sorts of different methods. That man even said that after their son was born..."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ruohan felt a pang of unease. It seemed that the child in Aunt Fang's belly was most likely not her father's.
So it seems that Aunt Fang is having an affair with this mysterious man, probably plotting something sinister to seize the Chu family's property.
Just as Chu Ruohan was lost in thought, Song Ruyan's next words instantly plunged the entire scene into an awkward situation.
She turned to Gu Junze and asked seriously, "Are all men's genitals this disgusting? Sometimes they're big, sometimes they're small."
They really have no scruples.
Upon hearing this, Gu Junze's face instantly turned extremely ugly, alternating between pale and flushed, and his ears quickly turned bright red, the color spreading to his cheeks.
He never expected that a woman could be so outspoken.
"Are you even a woman? Why do you have to tell everyone everything?" Yingqing couldn't hold back any longer, frowning and speaking with a hint of anger and disgust in her voice.
Song Ruyan, however, didn't take it seriously and puffed out her chest, "How can it not be? I have everything a woman should have."
Ying Qing was furious and spoke without restraint; it was like talking to a brick wall, completely illogical.
Chu Ruohan was also extremely embarrassed. Although she was used to Song Ruyan's surprising remarks, most of them were things that women talked about in private.
But with Gu Junze and Ying Qing both present, Song Ruyan's blunt question was truly...
Besides, Gu Junze is impotent; isn't this just reopening his wounds?
Chu Ruohan quickly changed the subject, "Do you know who that man is?"
“I don’t recognize him.” Song Ruyan shook her head in annoyance, then her eyes lit up. “Oh, right, Chu Nanxin seems to call him Fourth Uncle.”
Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze exchanged a glance, and at the same time, a name flashed through their minds—Chu Ang.
Chu Ruohan had already suspected that Aunt Fang and Chu Ang were colluding, but now it seems that their relationship is far more unsavory than she imagined, involving such an unspeakable affair.
Then everything makes sense.
Gu Junze reacted quickly, immediately giving Ying Qing a wink, signaling her to bring the person back.
Ying Qing understood immediately, nodded slightly, and stepped forward to pull Song Ruyan away, intending to lead her outside.
Before Song Ruyan could react, she struggled and shouted, "What's the rush? I haven't finished speaking yet..."
"Shut up!"
Yingqing replied irritably, tightening her grip on Song Ruyan and dragging her away quickly.
When they arrived at the courtyard, it was already deserted.
At the same time, Aunt Fang brought Chu Nanxin back to the Chu family.
As soon as she stepped into the Chu family's gate, Aunt Fang knelt down with a thud and then burst into tears. Her cries echoed throughout the large courtyard, sounding utterly fake.
It's all thunder and no rain.
"Master and Madam, it's so good that you're alright."
Aunt Fang cried while wiping away non-existent tears with a handkerchief.
Her sorrowful appearance would lead an uninformed person to believe that she was extremely concerned about the safety of Chu's parents.
"Waaah, Dad..." Chu Nanxin also started sobbing, her cries were heartbreaking.
Chu's mother was a soft-hearted person, and seeing their state, she quickly stepped forward to help Aunt Fang up, saying, "You're heavy-hearted, don't kneel. Aren't you all safe now?"
Only Chu Yueshu, who was standing to the side, rolled her eyes. These two women were really good at pretending. She must have been out of her mind before to think they were good people.
She had been blinded by their hypocritical masks. Recalling all the times she had been deceived by them, Chu Yueshu felt utterly foolish.
"Didn't you go to offer incense? Why aren't you at Ning'an Temple?" Father Chu frowned, his gaze fixed on Aunt Fang. After a pause, he added, "Han'er sent people to look for you."
