After the marriage, the sick husband lived a long life

Chapter 157 Removal of the Patriarch

When seeing all these people here, Chu Hong subconsciously looked at Jiang Wanyi beside him, but Jiang Wanyi didn't even look at him.

The old man of the Chu family looked at Chu Jinxiao standing there with a smile on his serious face: "Xiao'er, your health is not good, take Yanyan and find a place to sit down first."

"Thank you, grandpa."

Chu Jinxiao took Xu Zhiyan's hand and sat beside her to watch the show.

Seeing that the elders of the Chu family doted on Chu Jinxiao so much, Chu Hechuan looked a little unhappy.

He stared at Chu Jinxiao in front of him. Before he could say anything, he heard Old Master Chu say, "What's going on with the people at the door? How can anyone be let in?"

At this time, Jiang Wanyi explained: "Dad, I was the one who let this person in, so it's a good opportunity to talk about everything together."

Upon hearing that Chu Hechuan was let in by Jiang Wanyi, Old Man Chu nodded reluctantly.

This different treatment made Chu Hechuan feel humiliated.

"I am also a member of the Chu family. Why do you treat me like this?" Chu Hechuan asked unwillingly.

"Is an unrecognized illegitimate child worthy of being called a member of our Chu family?" This is what Mr. Chu cares about the most.

Chu Hechuan's existence is a stain on their Chu family.

It made the Chu family lose face in the capital.

Hearing this, Chu Hechuan felt a little unwilling. How exactly was he worse than Chu Jinxiao?

"I think I'm no worse than Chu Jinxiao, why do you treat me like this?"

Before Mr. Chu could say anything, the other members of the Chu family looked at Chu Hechuan with strange expressions.

"Do you know why Xiao'er can be the young master even though he is in poor health?"

Chu Hechuan was stunned for a moment and didn't understand why they said that.

"Xiao'er has been a genius since he was young. If he is in good health, do you think the head of the Chu family can still be Chu Hong?"

"Even though Xiao'er has been in the courtyard, he already had his own business when he was twelve years old. It was Xiao'er who started our silk business. In addition, there are many other businesses that were also suggested by Xiao'er, such as teahouses."

When Chu Jinxiao made contributions to them, Chu Hechuan didn't even know where he was.

Chu Hechuan actually had the nerve to say that he was no worse than Chu Jinxiao?

It's ridiculous.

Chu Hechuan stared at Chu Jinxiao blankly, his eyes somewhat confused, as if he was unwilling to believe that what they said was true.

"This is impossible."

"Everyone in the Chu family knows about this. Only Chu Hong doesn't know about it because he is with you guys every day."

Hearing what they said, Chu Hechuan was unwilling to believe it at all.

He looked at Chu Hong and said, "Dad, is this true?"

Chu Hong was also a little confused. How could this be true?

If Chu Jinxiao is so powerful, then this time...

Chu Hong suddenly panicked, looked up at Old Man Chu and the others and asked, "Dad, what are you going to do now?"

Chu Hechuan thought of a possibility and no longer cared about Chu Jinxiao. Instead, he stared straight at Old Man Chu and the others.

"This time, the fact that you poisoned Xiao'er is very serious to us. After the decision of us elders, you are no longer the head of the Chu family from now on." Old Master Chu said to Chu Hong in front of him.

Chu Hong's voice suddenly became sharp: "I didn't do this."

"It was indeed not you who did it, but Chu Hechuan who did it, and the person who poisoned Xiao'er was the one you gave to Chu Hechuan." Old Master Chu said expressionlessly.

When Chu Jinxiao was poisoned, they sent people to investigate, and finally found out that it was someone close to Chu Hong.

After several investigations, they confirmed that it was Chu Hong's people who did it.

And the main messenger was Chu Hechuan.

Chu Hong turned around and looked at Chu Hechuan angrily, gritted his teeth and asked angrily: "Did you do this?"

Chu Hechuan shook his head: "Dad, I didn't do this, please believe me."

Chu Hong looked at Chu Hechuan with a complicated expression, and said with some disappointment: "Since your grandfather can say such a thing, he must have investigated it clearly."

"And among the people I gave you, there is indeed someone who is very good at using poison." When Grandpa Chu reminded him, Chu Hong thought of this person.

And this person was indeed the one he gave to Chu Hechuan.

While Chu Hong was thinking about this, Old Master Chu said, "If I remember correctly, this person was originally prepared for Xiao'er, but later you took him away and gave him to Chu Hechuan."

Hearing what Mr. Chu said, Chu Hong's face flushed: "Dad, this matter..."

“Chu Hong, even if you didn't do this, it has something to do with you. Moreover, you have never done anything for the family during the years you have been the patriarch. After our unanimous consideration, you are not suitable to be the patriarch of the Chu family. From now on, the patriarch of the Chu family is Chu Zhen, and the young master is Chu Jinxiao. Even if Xiao'er has an accident in the future due to health reasons, the position of the young master will be chosen from other outstanding people in the family.” Grandpa Chu glanced at Chu Hechuan when he said this.

This made Chu Hechuan understand that their words were clearly meant for him.

Chu Hechuan looked at Jiang Wanyi with an unpleasant expression: "The reason you let me in is to let you know the gap between me and Chu Jinxiao?"

"No, the reason I let you in is to let you know that even if my son dies, it will not be the turn of a illegitimate son like you to be the young master." Jiang Wanyi said coldly.

"Chu Hechuan is not a child recognized by our family. How you want to treat him is your business, but don't try to gain any benefits for him." Old Master Chu said to Chu Hong beside him.

Chu Hong's expression changed. Now that he is no longer the head of the family, what else can he do?

Turning to look at Jiang Wanyi, who had no expression on his face, Chu Hong asked with a complicated expression, "I'm done with my position as the head of the family. Are you satisfied?"

In response, Jiang Wanyi sneered and said, "I am not satisfied. Chu Hong, you have done something to my mother and me that you cannot repay even if you die."

Chu Hong's face turned pale for a moment, and he looked at Jiang Wanyi with a dull look.

Although he knew that Jiang Wanyi had a grudge against him and even hated him.

But he didn't expect Jiang Wanyi to hate him so much, and even wished he would die.

Seeing Chu Hong like this, Xu Zhiyan looked at him with a hint of disdain: "Chu Jinxiao, do you think this guy is sick? He has been hurting you for his mistress and illegitimate child. Now he is like this, someone who doesn't know would think that you have done something to offend him."

"Maybe he thinks that doing this can alleviate the guilt in his heart." Chu Jinxiao said indifferently.

Chu Hechuan turned his gaze to Chu Hong beside him, hoping that Chu Hong could come out and resolve the matter.

Chu Hong was not the head of the family, so he knew that no matter how much he did, he had no chance against the young master.

"I am also a member of the Chu family. I am also qualified to compete with Chu Jinxiao for the position of young master."
