Chapter 739: Flowers outside, mud within!

em raised their sickles and shouted in unison, "Harvest time! It's time to reap!"The villagers also raised their farming tools and shouted, "Harvest is here! Let's reap!"Patches of grain were cut down...Chen Lao Er's face hurt terribly, which made his desire for the Fu Rong Paste lessen somewhat.

He argued desperately, “It wasn’t me, it was the manager from Yaochi. They made me bring you to cause trouble for the Li family, to frighten everyone in Xin Du. Then the young masters imprisoned in the military camp would be able to get out!”

He said that Xiao He died saving many people! They gave me two boxes of Fuhong ointment, I didn't want anything else!

"It's not my fault, really, it's not! I was forced to!"

"Alright, you say that killing Little He was out of desperation, then what about your mother Where has she ever wronged you that you would want to kill her!" Master Chen also stepped forward and kicked Second Master Chen's stomach hard.

Old Second Chen winced, curling up in pain. He looked up and saw Chen Chuan and Old Master Chen standing together. Their faces were seven points alike; wherever they went, people could easily recognize them as brothers.

Only he…

He suddenly flew into a rage, roaring like a beast.

You say the old woman was good to me Where did that old hag ever do me any good

As both sons of the Chen family, you two were born to be educated in reading and martial arts, then serve as officials or generals.

"Being born to me, a concubine, she poisoned me from a young age. Every few days, I would fall ill for three or two days. Then she'd say I was weak and could only stay home. Under the guise of being the second master's wife, I ended up doing all the work of a servant!"

Isn't she fond of acting Isn't she trying to let everyone know how much she loves me Well, then I'll indulge her!

"I want the jade box, I want the frangipani ointment!"

But the head of Yaochi said, "If you hadn't gone to Suijin Beach to cause trouble, I wouldn't have given it to you!"

Then I can only give you a push! If killing one's son isn't enough, then add another: the hatred of losing one's mother!

At this, he saw Chen Chuan and Old Master Chen's faces turn green with rage. He laughed heartily and cheerfully.

"Look at you all, hahaha! You know what it's like to have your own mother killed, don't you

"My mother was killed by that old hag, don't think she can hide it from everyone! "

"I know, everyone knows!"

Chen Chuan and Old Master Chen were at a loss for words. Though Chen Lao Er's story was rambling and incoherent, they still understood it.

In just a short hour, their perceptions had been overturned too much.

In my impression, the filial younger brother is not a blood relative.

Not only did he kill his son, but he also killed his mother!

The loving mother I had imagined, actually did such a cruel thing as abandoning her son and deliberately raising the illegitimate child as an invalid!

Originally, in his eyes, the seemingly prosperous Chen family was actually a mess behind closed doors...

The rest of the Chen family were also speechless, not knowing what to say.

However, Chen Lao Er's craving for cigarettes came on strong and he couldn't resist it any longer. He rolled around begging for mercy, even grabbing Chen Chuan's pant leg and shouting that he would go to the old lady and make amends, just as long as he could have a puff of smoke...

Everyone looked at his embarrassed appearance, their eyes filled with a hint of fear.

To live like this, with no dignity whatsoever, is no better than being an animal.

The Fuhong Ointment, how terrifying!

At some point, the sky darkened inexplicably, and fine snowflakes began to fall gently.

Li Lao'er, afraid that his wife and niece would get cold watching the commotion, ordered someone to tie up the woman, her attendant, and even Chen Erlao (the elder master), securing them tightly and throwing them into a carriage. He then sent them back to the city.

They are all involved in the Furong Paste case and will be beheaded together at Caishikou.

Seeing the carriage drive away, Mrs. Chen Er suddenly burst into tears, looking extremely wronged.

Her brother-in-law stepped forward and said to Chen Chuan and Old Master Chen, "When we married my sister into your Chen family, it was because we saw that Chen Er was favored and the eldest son.

"Unexpectedly, your family actually replaced the legitimate heir with a collateral one, truly despicable.

"

"Now that Chen Er is involved in the case of the Rouge Balm, he's surely going to be beheaded. My sister doesn't need to stay a widow at the Chen household anymore. "

"We'll take her and the child back to her parents' home. We won't have any contact with her from now on."

Having said that, he took his family and dragged Mrs. Chen Er away.

It's clear they went back to the city to move!

These days, Mrs. Chen Chuan has been arguing with her second sister-in-law frequently because of accounting issues.

Now I'm afraid no one is watching, the pantry at home has been emptied.

So, she greeted her husband and then, pulling her face like a melon rind, the elder sister-in-law hurried back to the city as well.

For a time, besides Chen Chuan and others under the archway, it was all filled with Li family members.

Chen Chuan fell silent for a moment, then knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed heavily!

"Master Li, all the previous mistakes were entirely my fault, Chen Chuan's! It was my blind eyes and foolish heart that led to this. "

"Since my son died, I have nowhere to vent my anger, so I've taken it out on your family.

"

"I, Chen Chuan, am willing to be a slave for life to atone for my mistakes. "

"But my mother died unjustly, and my son was murdered. Now neither of them has been buried. Please, Master, show mercy and allow me to go back and tend to their funerals for three days!"

"I'll be back in three days!"

Lord Chen also immediately knelt down and kowtowed heavily, saying, "Please, Master, have mercy!"

The rest of the Chen family also knelt down one after another, shouting in unison, "Please, Master, show mercy!"

They don't really care whether the old lady and young master end up in peace.

They just want to go home, even if it's just for a good meal and a good night's sleep...

Li Laoer could only think of them carrying the coffin that day and almost bumping into his own door. His niece was almost buried alive! He wished they were a thousand times more miserable.

But with so many fellow villagers watching, most of them felt pity for the Chen family's misfortune. If he flatly refused, it would seem rather unfeeling.

He turned his head to look at his own carriage, seeing his mother and niece nodding.

He then said to Chen Chuan, "Logically speaking, the evils committed by your Chen family are impossible to atone for. "

"But to revere one's own parents and elders, as well as the parents and elders of others,and to cherish one's own children and dependents, as well as the children and dependents of others."

"I also have an old mother and children at home. For their sake, I'll let you go back for three days to take care of affairs, and then come back immediately to continue your hard labor."

Otherwise, you will be considered as slaves working against your will. If you run away secretly, you will be treated as runaway slaves and killed on capture!

Hearing this, many people in the Chen family who had been scheming were lowering their heads...

Chen Chuan and Master Chen sincerely thanked him, bowing again.

Then they rushed straight into town without wasting a moment.

They didn't care at all how dirty and ragged their clothes were, or if they would be laughed at.

The Chen family is already on the brink of collapse, a laughingstock throughout Xin Du. What else is there to be ashamed of!

The rest of the Chen family also followed suit and left together.

The village head and the others all shook their heads. Finally, they patted Li Lao Er's shoulder and said: "Mr. Li did well. The Chen family is hateful, but the dead children and elderly are innocent."

"May they rest in peace as soon as possible, so that our family can accumulate good deeds."

Uncle Zhao took advantage of the situation to brainwash the villagers around him, "Look at what happened to the Chen family This is the harm of taking a concubine!"

If there were only one daughter-in-law, and all the children were from the same mother, how could there be such misfortune today

"All of you, live your lives well and don't be so greedy that you cause trouble for yourselves! "

"Be careful, for today my concubine enters the door, and tomorrow I will poison your son and have her son inherit the family property!"

When the villagers did not respond, the village elder, annoyed, picked up his smoking pipe.

"Take a concubine Who would take a concubine!"
