Chapter 127: The Second Aunt Rises Up

[Miao family? A noble family from Yazhou?] Chu Ci turned to look at Fan Jingrui and asked silently with his eyes.

Fan Jingrui nodded, then motioned Chu Ci to listen to his mother.

And Chu Ci's mother-in-law did not hide the truth for her unreliable sister-in-law.

And he hit the nail on the head: "Miao Xiucai's uncle is the first-class manager of the quarry. And most of the male members of the Liu family, including your fourth aunt's father, brothers, sons and nephews, are in the quarry."

However, this made Chu Ci even more confused: "If that's the case, why did you agree to this marriage? I don't remember the Fan family having the custom of exchanging women for future prospects?"

Chu Ci's mother-in-law thought that everything would be fine as long as she pointed out the key problem, but she didn't expect Chu Ci to criticize her as well.

But this concerns Qian Lan's reputation, and she really doesn't know how to say it. "This..."

But the more this happened, the uglier Chu Ci's expression became, and he wanted to get to the bottom of it. "That bastard ruined Qian Lan's reputation?"

Now, not only Chu Ci's mother-in-law, but everyone present in the Fan family had an extremely ugly expression on their faces.

Finally, Fan Chongyuan couldn't help himself and stood up. "I'm Qian Lan's father, so let me tell you."

"Husband..." Wang wanted to stop him, but Fan Chongyuan gave her a look and she shut up.

Fan Chongyuan then said painfully, "Half a month ago, Miao Shiguang suddenly came to propose marriage, but your second aunt and I naturally did not agree. After all, Qian Lan is only fourteen years old, and we don't want her to get married so early."

Chu Ci understood this, but she didn't want to hear these irrelevant words. "Then why did you agree to it later? Even though Qian Lan clearly refused."

"Five days ago in the morning, Miao Shiguang suddenly appeared in Qian Lan's bed." When saying this, Fan Chongyuan's eyes were red, as if he wanted to eat someone.

Chu Ci heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, "Except Miao Shiguang, there is no one else?"

"No one else, but my fourth brother's wife told the owner of the town's Xiulou about this. And my fourth brother wanted to protect this damn woman."

Fan Chongyuan vented all his resentment towards Liu Yinzhang at this moment.

However, Chu Ci still had no sympathy for Fan Chongyuan. "So, because Fourth Uncle protected Liu Yinzhang, you decided to sacrifice your daughter?"

Chu Ci hit the nail on the head, and Fan Chongyuan was very depressed: "It's my incompetence as a father, but Qian Lan's reputation has been lost, and there's nothing I can do."

"No, these are just excuses. It's just that in your heart, your daughter is not as important as your brother." Chu Ci said deliberately.

Fan Chongyuan didn't think so, but after hearing what Chu Ci said, he felt inexplicably guilty.

And this is exactly the effect that Chu Ci wants.

After dealing with his second uncle Fan Chongyuan, Chu Ci directly targeted his fourth uncle Fan Zengzhi. "Fourth uncle, what do you think? Should sister Qianlan sacrifice herself for your selfishness?"

Fan Zengzhi knew that it was wrong for him to protect Liu Yinzhang, but he had gotten used to it over the years. "I... also did it for the reputation of the Fan family."

Chu Ci couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing this, and replied unceremoniously: "The reputation of the Fan family was ruined by you two. Whoever is to blame should take the blame. Anyway, I don't agree with Qian Lan's marriage."

Seeing Chu Ci so blatantly interfering in Qian Lan's marriage, Liu Yinzhang finally got anxious: "Why don't you agree..."

But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Chu Ci. "Also, Liu Yinzhang betrayed Qian Lan for the Liu family this time, but there is no guarantee that he will not betray others next time."

Having said that, Chu Ci looked around and saw that everyone present showed expressions of approval.

Chu Ci continued, "Logically, you are all elders, and a junior like me shouldn't interfere. But I am really afraid of your actions. I am afraid that one day, I will become a victim of my fourth uncle's doting on his wife."

Fan Zengzhi knew he was in the wrong, but he felt that he was not as foolish as Chu Ci said. "This was just an accident. I promise that I will pay more attention to the introduction next time."

"I don't believe it." The one who spoke this time was the second aunt who had previously stopped the second uncle from telling the truth.

Chu Ci was full of surprise, but Second Aunt did not stop there. "After Qianyan's incident, Fourth Brother also promised the same thing. What about now? In just a few months, he dared to sell out his nephew for the Liu family. If this continues, is there anything that Liu Yinzhang would not dare to do?"

After asking the question that she had been holding back for a long time, Second Aunt's heart was beating fast. But at this moment, she felt an unprecedented joy.

Seeing that Fan Zengzhi was silent, Second Aunt even learned to sow discord without any instruction. "Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law, Fifth Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

Chu Ci: [Is Second Aunt going to turn evil? ]

At the same time, Chu Ci was also curious about the choices made by those named.

"Liu Yinzhang is a troublemaker. When the incident happened, I suggested sending my fourth brother's wife back to the Liu family to learn the rules. My opinion remains the same now." As the eldest daughter-in-law, Chu Ci's mother-in-law definitely has a broad perspective.

With the eldest sister-in-law taking the lead, the other two did not hesitate to express their opinions: "I agree. If the fourth brother disagrees, we can go together."

"If Fourth Brother doesn't want to return to the Liu family, I suggest that Fourth Brother's family be separated. Or if Fourth Brother is willing, he can also request to leave the family himself."

At this moment, Uncle Fan and his wife finally realized that they had incurred public wrath.

With a thud, the two of them knelt down in front of Mr. Fan and Mrs. Fan. "Dad, Mom, I know I was wrong. Please don't chase us away."

Mrs. Fan didn't say anything.

In fact, if Chu Ci was not mistaken, Mrs. Fan did not feel annoyed with Fan Zengzhi and his wife, but only had deep contempt for them.

But Mr. Fan was different. Seeing Fan Zengzhi and his wife like this, he felt bad. After a long while, he just said, "Old Four, you are confused!"

Fan Zengzhi seemed to have a way of treating Mr. Fan well, and he immediately cried and said, "Dad, Yinzhang is just too soft-hearted. We have no ill intentions."

The old lady had anticipated this and closed her eyes early.

Although others are angry and dissatisfied, the word "filial piety" is deeply engraved in their bones.

However, just when everyone thought the matter had been dealt with.

Chu Ci's heavenly voice reached everyone's ears: "Is Fourth Uncle blind? How can you tell that someone who can abuse an innocent little girl for decades has a soft heart?"

Fan Zeng felt extremely angry when Chu Ci pointed out his intentions so clearly.

He turned his head and stared at Chu Ci with eyes like a lone wolf: "Niece-in-law, as a junior, don't you think you're stretching your hand too far?"
