Chapter 60 Liquidation (1)
The mind-reading system here sincerely advises Luo Meimei to put down her butcher knife...
Xiao Qianqian also finished drinking the milk and, as expected, started yawning.
The queen felt sorry for her daughter, so she gave rewards to Concubine Shu and Concubine Luo and let them go back.
At the same time, Chu Xinghe also took Imperial Physician Feng back to the General's Mansion.
This time, Chu Xinghe not only brought Imperial Physician Feng and six maids, but also asked the Queen for a team of thirty imperial guards before leaving the palace.
The queen was very generous. She not only gave the royal guards but also a dozen secret guards, both male and female. The group came to the general's mansion in a mighty manner.
The doorman of the general's mansion yawned and did not react when he saw an extremely low-key carriage in the distance.
When the carriage approached, he saw the dark red armor following the carriage and was so frightened that his legs and feet went weak. He immediately turned around with shaking legs and planned to go back to inform Master Chu.
But before he had run two steps, he felt a sudden pain on the back of his neck, and then his eyes went dark and he knew nothing.
Chu Xinghe's carriage finally arrived at the gate of the general's mansion, and the servants and old women guarding the gatehouse had been controlled by the secret guards.
She did not dare to delay for a moment, and strode towards the main courtyard. Li Ma, who was following her, frowned and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Should we arrest a few servants and interrogate them first?"
Chu Xinghe stopped walking, her confused mind finally cleared up a little, and nodded gratefully to Madam Li, "Then I'll trouble you to arrange it."
Nanny Li bowed to Chu Xinghe and turned to tell the secret guards a few words. Soon, a woman in the clothes of a manager was brought to Chu Xinghe with her mouth gagged.
Chu Xinghe ordered the Imperial Guards to close the gate of the General's Mansion, and the secret guards tore the rag out of the woman's mouth.
The woman was already frightened out of her wits when she saw the secret guards wearing evil ghost masks, and now she wanted to die when she saw the royal guards.
Without Li Ma Ma saying anything, the woman burst into tears and confessed, "Madam, the Madam now lives in the woodshed in the side yard, ah."
Chu Xinghe swung the nine-section whip in his hand fiercely, hitting the woman cleanly. The woman fell to the ground and kept begging for mercy.
"Where is the old man in the general's mansion?"
Chu Xinghe asked in a deep voice, thinking back to when her father was worried about her and her mother, he had arranged a lot of people around her mother.
The woman was stunned for a moment before she seemed to understand. She endured the severe pain in her body and said, "They, some of them were sent to the farm, and some, some did the lowest jobs in the mansion."
This was still an euphemism. Few of those who were sent to the farm could survive, let alone those who stayed in the mansion.
The useless ones are disabled, either working in the laundry room or cleaning the toilets...
In short, the people from the second branch of the Chu family would never let go of the slaves who were loyal to Madam Chu.
Chu Xinghe clenched her teeth and looked at Nanny Li, "Nanny Li, please drive all the people in the general's mansion to the main courtyard."
"Yes," Li Ma Ma took the order and pointed at a few secret guards and half of the imperial guards, "You follow me."
After Nanny Li took their people away, Chu Xinghe did not delay any longer and quickly rushed to the woodshed in the side courtyard.
Imperial Physician Feng huddled in the corner pitifully, too scared to say a word. Oh my God, these women are so hard to deal with.
He was also destined to be a hard worker. He had just detoxified Jiang Minghai and moved back home from the Jiang family a few days ago.
Now it seems that he will have to stay in the general's mansion temporarily again?
However, he still had great respect for General Chu and was willing to contribute to the Chu family, so he quickened his pace and caught up without saying anything.
In the dark and damp woodshed, Mrs. Chu stared at the smiling woman in front of her with dull eyes. This was Mrs. Chu II. "Sister-in-law has been looking better these days. It seems that moving here is the right decision. Although this room is small, it is warm and drafty. It is not as big as the main room with drafty sides and troublesome to clean."
"What the Second Madam said makes sense," Yinxiang, the maid who served the First Madam personally, immediately complimented, "There is no other sister-in-law in the whole capital who works so hard for the family like the Second Madam. Everyone in the Chu family praises the Second Madam for her virtue, right? First Madam?"
Yinxiang's smiling question made Mrs. Chu's eyes full of ridicule. She looked at the second wife silently with hatred in her eyes.
The Second Madam frowned and pretended to be sad, "Why is Sister-in-law looking at me like that? Are you dissatisfied with the person I arranged for you?"
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Yinxiang fiercely, "Since you are not favored by my sister-in-law, the general's mansion will not tolerate you. Come, beat Yinxiang to death with a stick."
"Madam," Yin Xiang knelt down skillfully and walked to Madam Chu, her face full of sorrow but without tears, "Madam, please save me,"
"Just beat him to death," Madam Chu said weakly, "Why should my sister-in-law keep putting on an act? You will never know the key to the big storehouse."
"Sister-in-law," the second wife still had an expression of "I'm doing this for your own good, you should be content," "The general's mansion is having a hard time these days, and my brother needs help from me at the border. Sister-in-law, you've been living a life of luxury for so many years, and your heart has become hardened. If you don't think about my brother, you should think about the Empress in the palace."
She sighed slightly and gave Yinxiang a look. Yinxiang immediately stood up and gave Madam Chu a blank look.
The Second Madam wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and continued to hesitate, "Over the years, I have written to the Empress Defei and the border guards saying that my sister-in-law is doing well and has nothing to worry about. Could it be that my sister-in-law wants the Empress, my eldest brother, and my nephews to worry about her?"
"Shameless."
Madam Chu raised her hand with difficulty and pointed her trembling finger at Madam Two. "You, you actually copied my notes. You, you are shameless."
"Snapped!"
The Second Madam slapped Madam Chu's hand hard. Before she could say anything, she was suddenly whipped on the back, causing a burning pain.
Then, a huge force pushed her onto Madam Chu's wooden bed. Before she could react, someone grabbed her hair and pulled her back hard.
Mrs. Chu was pulled to the ground and felt dizzy. She was pulled out of the woodshed by someone with her hair pulled and her mouth blocked.
Everything happened so quickly that Mrs. Chu was completely stunned.
Madam Chu was also shocked when she saw all the servants in the woodshed being dragged out by the royal guards in red armor.
She opened her mouth but before she could ask anything, a wailing cry made her heart tremble violently. Even though she hadn't seen him for many years, she knew who was making such a heart-wrenching cry.
“Mother,” Chu Xinghe had never cried like this since she was ten years old. At this moment, her voice seemed to be roaring from the depths of her soul. She ran towards the simple wooden bed in three or two steps, but stopped rushing towards her mother. She just knelt in front of her and cried desperately, “Wow wow wow wow, mother, it’s my daughter who is unfilial, wow wow wow wow, mother, mother,”
Mrs. Chu hugged her daughter in her arms with heartache. She thought her daughter was going to die in despair in this dark and cramped woodroom.
Who would have thought that her daughter would come back and her baby would come back to save her.
“Mother, wuwuwu,” Chu Xinghe hugged her mother back, but she didn’t dare to use force with her hands. “Mother, how did you become so thin? Mother, it’s my daughter who is unfilial. Mother, mother…”
Outside the woodshed, the master and his servants knelt on the ground, their faces filled with fear as they listened to Concubine De's heart-wrenching cries.
