Chapter 124 Doing Evil
When Mr. Chu found out what the second young master of the Chu family had done, he was so angry that he spat out blood, which scared Mrs. Chu.
After Master Chu recovered from his breath, he immediately used the family rules to punish the second young master of the Chu family, and had the servants beat him with a stick.
In the yard, the second young master of the Chu family screamed in pain like a pig being slaughtered.
Aunt Wang felt distressed when she heard the screams. She immediately knelt down and cried, "Master, please calm down. Fan'er is still young. He must have been bewitched and bewildered to do such a stupid thing. Please have mercy on him and forgive him."
When Mr. Chu heard this, he became even angrier. He pointed at Aunt Wang's nose and started cursing.
"How young is he? He is only one year younger than Yi Chen. You also know that what he did was stupid, and you still have the nerve to plead for him? It's all because of you that he became what he is now. At the beginning, I asked my wife to raise this child, but you threatened to die and refused to agree. Now look at what you have done to him?"
Master Chu said with a look of regret, "I really regret that I agreed to your request out of weakness. A woman like you from a small family with no sense at all, who only knows how to fight for favors all day long, how can you raise a good son?"
"Master, all the mistakes are my fault. I failed to discipline Fan'er well. If you want to beat him or scold him, just come at me. I only beg you to spare Fan'er. He is weak and cannot stand such a beating."
"Do you think I dare not hit you? This rebellious son has done such a thing that harms our Chu family. If I don't teach him a lesson, he will become even more lawless in the future. If you dare to beg for mercy again, you will be punished by the family law."
When Aunt Wang saw Mr. Chu's firm attitude, she collapsed to the ground and began to cry.
Mrs. Chu stroked Mr. Chu's chest and comforted him, "Master, calm down. Don't let your anger ruin your health."
"Madam, this rebellious son will piss me off to death sooner or later. I really regret agreeing to let Aunt Wang raise the child herself. If I had given it to you to raise, maybe Yifan would be as good as Yichen."
"Master, you don't have to blame yourself. You agreed to Aunt Wang because you felt sorry for me. After all, I was raising two children, Yi Chen and Lan Er, by myself at the time. If there was another Yi Fan, I wouldn't be able to handle it."
Chu Yichen said to Master Chu, "Dad, this second brother is so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter that he actually turned his elbow outward. I'm afraid that a punishment from the family rules is not enough."
"Tell me, how should we punish him?"
"My son thinks we should send them to the manor. If we keep someone like this who even betrayed his own family at home, I'm afraid he will do something that will harm the interests of the family. We can't defend ourselves against it."
Chu Yichen felt that it would be best to drive the evil spirit out. If he stayed at home, he would have to be on guard against him all the time. He had to take care of so many family businesses, so how could he have so much energy to look after the mother and son?
Master Chu fell silent after hearing this. Although Chu Yifan was a useless person, he was still his biological son after all, and he still had feelings for him.
Aunt Wang panicked when she heard this. She didn't expect that the young master could be so cruel and even wanted to drive them away.
She quickly crawled to Master Chu's side, grabbed his clothes, and cried pitifully, "Master, please don't drive me and Fan'er away. Fan'er has lived in the mansion since he was a child, and is used to a life of luxury. How can he bear such a difficult environment on the farm?"
Seeing Aunt Wang's pitiful appearance, Master Chu finally softened his heart and said to his son, "Yi Chen, he is your brother after all. Isn't it too much to rush him to the farm?"
"Dad, I think you'd better drive them all back to the farm." Chu Yichen could see that Aunt Wang and Chu Yifan were ungrateful people who could never be tamed, so he didn't want to be soft-hearted this time.
Aunt Wang immediately cried out in tears, "Master, please don't chase us away."
"How about this? I will confine them both to the mansion and not let them come out before the New Year. Yichen, do you think this is okay?"
"Since you have made the decision, why do you still need to ask for my opinion? I have something else to do, so I will take my leave first." Chu Yichen felt that his father was being too soft-hearted, but he didn't want to disobey his father.
Chu Yifan was beaten with a stick and was confined to his room. Not only did he not repent, but he hated Chu Yichen even more, and even hated his father, Master Chu.
After failing to buy a son from the second young master of the Chu family, the Ma family was completely thrown into disarray.
Master Ma was furious. The owner of the Jixiang Restaurant was afraid of being beaten again, so he could only give Master Ma another bad idea.
I saw him whispering beside Mr. Ma, and after listening, Mr. Ma showed a sinister smile.
That night, Qianhua had just finished performing at Xunfang Pavilion. Unexpectedly, Ji Feng was standing alone at the door of Liu Ji Noodle House waiting for her. Qianhua asked in confusion, "Ji Feng, where is your carriage?"
"My dear, the horse was a little bit naughty today after it came back. It refused to eat. I was afraid that it would not be able to run when I took you back, so I put it in the stable of the coach shop and asked the groom to feed it some grass. I am really sorry to bother you to walk with me to the coach shop today."
"It's okay. I can exercise by walking."
So the two of them walked towards the carriage.
To get to the Chaimaxing, one has to pass the road of Zuixianju and Jixiang Restaurant. When they were almost at Zuixianju, Qianhuan suddenly saw someone acting suspiciously at the door of Zuixianju.
Qianhuan grabbed Ji Feng who was still walking forward. Ji Feng was about to ask her what was wrong, but Qianhuan put her hand to her mouth and gently made a "hush" gesture.
Ji Feng stopped talking immediately. Qian Huan pulled Ji Feng into the wall of a nearby shop and hid behind it. Then she whispered to Ji Feng, "The young master of the Zuixianju restaurant in front of me has some connections with me. I saw someone sneaking around the door of his restaurant. Let's hide here and see what that person wants to do."
Ji Feng whispered "OK" in reply.
The two of them secretly stuck their heads out from behind the wall and looked at the man. They saw that the man was holding a bucket and began to pour something on the door of Zuixianju. After a while, Qianhuan suddenly smelled the smell of kerosene in the air.
She said secretly: Oh no, I'm afraid that man wants to burn down Zuixianju.
She quickly said to Ji Feng, "Ji Feng, that man might want to set fire. Please help me go to the Chu Mansion to inform the young master of the Chu family. I will stop him."
Ji Feng hesitated and said, "Young Master, with your small body, are you sure you can subdue that man? Or should I stay and help?"
"No, I can handle it by myself. Go to Chu's house and inform them. By the way, do you know where Chu's house is?"
"I know." Ji Feng has been driving a horse-drawn carriage for many years. As the Chu family is a wealthy family in Qingxi County, he naturally knows where their home is.
"Then go quickly."
Qianhuan rushed out after saying that. She just wanted to try out her skills. Besides, she had all kinds of hidden weapons, drugs, poison powders and other things that Young Master Cai got for her on her body, so she could try out the effects of those things.
The villain was just about to take out a fire starter from his bosom and was about to light the fire. Qianhuan ran up to him and shouted, "Who dares to set fire here?"
When the man saw that someone had discovered him, he was so frightened that his hands shook and the tinderbox fell to the ground before it was lit. When he saw that the person coming was just a short young man, he immediately threatened him viciously: "I advise you to mind your own business, otherwise, today will be the day you die."
As he spoke, he bent down to pick up the tinder on the ground. Qianhuan ran up and kicked him, knocking him to the ground, saying, "Whose death date is still uncertain?"
The man didn't expect that the short man in front of him was actually a martial artist, so he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy. He quickly got up and punched Qianhuan. Qianhuan dodged the punch by turning sideways, then turned around and kicked the man in the chest.
