Chapter 1980 Years of Green Hat
After she left, Wan Shufang closed the door and sat in the room waiting for the murderer to appear.
This wait lasted until late at night.
There were bursts of chirping sounds of insects coming from outside. Wan Shufang, disguised as Caixia, was sitting alone in the room. As the candlelight flickered, a black shadow was reflected on the window. Wan Shufang's face darkened and she immediately perked up.
"Finally here!" She thought silently, and hid in the dark, holding her breath. She saw the window being quietly pushed open, and a slight creaking sound was heard. The black shadow climbed in through the window cautiously.
In the dim light, I saw the man holding a dagger and walking towards the bed step by step.
"Luckily, I just stuffed the pillow under the quilt." Wan Shufang remained calm and continued to stare at the person who broke in. The dagger emitted a cold light under the candlelight.
Looking at the somewhat black tip, Wan Shufang's face darkened. This dagger was poisoned. It seemed that the other party came with the intention of killing her.
Wan Shufang clenched the dagger in her hand, and when the other party rushed to the bed and opened the curtains, she put the dagger against his neck: "Don't move, or I will kill you."
The powder in her hand spilled out, and the man was caught off guard and inhaled a lot of it, then fell limply to the ground.
"You..." He looked at Wan Shufang in disbelief. In an instant, the door was pushed open and a group of people led by Chen Changli rushed in. The room was instantly brightly lit.
Seeing Chen Changli and Chu Bangguo appear together, a trace of dejection appeared in the man's eyes. An took a big step forward and tore off the mask on his face.
When that face was exposed, Chu Bangguo's eyes widened immediately, his face full of disbelief: "Butler! How could it be you?"
He rushed forward and carefully looked at the person again. After confirming that he was indeed from the Chu Mansion, Chu Bangguo looked unhappy and asked coldly, "I treated you well. Tell me, why did you do this?"
Hearing this, the man sneered, knowing that he couldn't escape today anyway, his eyes suddenly became fierce: "Why? You killed my son, of course I have to kill you to avenge my son."
When these words were spoken, everyone present was confused. Chu Yaozu only captured women, and the plague was cured, and no one was killed. How could he have killed his son?
Just as Wan Shufang was thinking deeply about whether it was Chu Bangguo who did it, Chu Bangguo also hurriedly refuted: "Old Lin, you have been in the Chu family for 20 years, and you don't have any sons at all. What do you mean by saying this now?"
"He has no son?" Wan Shufang was a little shocked. Seeing Chu Bangguo nodded, she became more and more confused. She turned to look at the person on the ground and said, "Lord Chu said you don't have a son. How can we kill him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the person in front of him suddenly shut his mouth, as if he was trying to escape.
Seeing this, An Yi drew his sword and put it against his neck: "Speak, otherwise, we have plenty of ways to make you speak."
Feeling the coldness of the sword tip, the man shuddered. Under the sharp gazes of several people, he gritted his teeth and gave Chu Bangguo a mocking smile.
"Chu Bangguo, my son is naturally Yaozu. You may not know yet, Yaozu is the child of my wife and me. You, have raised me as a child for twenty years. Hahaha." The man laughed crazily. Even though he was powerless, he used all his strength to support his body.
His eyes were bloodshot as he scanned the people present. His voice was shrill: "My Yaozu had a bright future, but those women killed him. I want them all to die and be buried with my son!"
Butler Lin roared loudly, the sound was so loud that it hurt people's eardrums. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Unexpectedly, he discovered a not-so-public secret of the Chu family unexpectedly.
Wan Shufang coughed lightly, not daring to look at Chu Bangguo's face. She only looked at Steward Lin and asked, "You said they killed your son, but it was obviously your son who killed them first."
"So what? Yaozu is the son of the county magistrate. It is a blessing for these women to serve him. They actually dare to resist. They deserve to die." He retorted with a crazy look, thinking that Chu Yaozu was not wrong.
Looking at Steward Lin like this, Wan Shufang fell silent, not knowing what to say for a moment. At this moment, Chu Bangguo, who had been silent, had a gloomy face.
He never thought that he had been helping others raise children for so many years. He was so angry that his face turned red, his chest heaved violently, and he yelled at the guard beside him: "Go and bring the lady here!"
"I want to ask, how have I treated her unfairly over the years?"
Chu Bangguo's eyes were fierce and he exuded a cold aura. The guards were so frightened that they dared not speak. They just saluted and ran out in a hurry.
Soon, he brought Mrs. Chu over. Mrs. Chu didn't know what had happened at first, but when she saw the housekeeper on the ground, she was shocked.
Seeing the other person's resolute eyes, Mrs. Chu seemed to understand something.
"Sir..." she murmured, and the next second, she was slapped hard on the face. Looking at the aggressive Chu Bangguo, Mrs. Chu's body softened and she fell to the ground.
"How dare you, a slut, have an affair with someone and give birth to a bastard!" "Yaozu is not a bastard!" Madam Chu retorted, staring at Chu Bangguo with resentment in her eyes: "Yaozu should have been his child. People like you don't deserve to have children."
Her words directly irritated Chu Bangguo. His eyes turned red and he drew out the guard's sword, pointing it directly at Madam Chu.
"Evil woman, I will kill you two adulterers."
The sword's edge was shining coldly, but the two men who were about to be beheaded were not panicked at all. Seeing that their plan was exposed, they even gave up and simply hugged each other, raised their heads and were ready to die at any time.
Seeing the two men like this, Chu Bangguo felt a dull pain in his heart. He closed his eyes and raised the sword a little higher. Seeing this, Wan Shufang was worried that he would really kill the two men in a rage, so she hurried to stop him.
"Master Chu, we still have things to investigate, so this man cannot be killed for the time being."
"I know." Chu Bangguo took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart. He put down his sword and said, "Come here, take them both away and put them in jail."
"Separate detention."
"Yes, sir." The subordinate responded and took the two men away. The farce ended and the room returned to peace.
Chen Changli and Wan Shufang looked at each other. Although they knew that Chu Bangguo was feeling uncomfortable, they still had to quickly interrogate Steward Lin. After greeting Chu Bangguo, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang followed him to the cell.
After some interrogation, the two men were sure that all this was just because Butler Lin wanted to avenge his son. After the truth was revealed, Butler Lin was soon sentenced to be executed.
As for Mrs. Chu, who had committed adultery with him, Lord Chu always had a soft heart. He locked her up for a few days and then went to the cell himself to get an answer.
