Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 1974 Confirming the Doubts

"But..." Chen Changli changed the subject, thinking of something, and the anger on his face was much less: "But, I clearly remember that this Chu Bangguo loved the people like his own children, was upright and incorruptible, and had always been a good official."

After hearing this, Wan Shufang hesitated for a moment, and her lips moved slightly: "Perhaps Chu Bangguo didn't know about it. It was just that Chu Yaozu relied on his status as a son of an official and acted on his own, hiding it from Chu Bangguo and making a big mistake."

In the past, they had also seen such incidents where children of officials had hid their power from their families and abused their power.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Changli realized that what Wan Shufang said made sense. He nodded slightly and looked towards the courtyard again with a dark gaze.

"Let's go out first. As for Chu Bangguo, I will write a letter to him in the name of the Duke's Mansion when I find out that this matter has nothing to do with him."

As he spoke, he took Wan Shufang's hand and silently returned along the way they came.

When the two returned to the charity hall, they found that An Qi had also returned. An Qi gave all the medicines that Wan Shufang had ordered to her, and then asked about Caixia.

"Madam, how is Miss Chen these days?"

Hearing this, Wan Shufang remembered the connection between the two of them and slapped her head. She had forgotten that such a big thing had happened and she hadn't informed An Qi yet.

Thinking of this, Wan Shufang quickly recounted what had happened in the past few days. After she finished speaking, Caixia also came over with tea. Seeing her standing in front of him in good health, An Qi thought of the suffering she had endured, and his eyes were full of heartache.

"I'm fine, ma'am, please don't scare Master Mozhu." Caixia smiled, as if to comfort him, and she didn't want Anqi to worry about her.

In response, Wan Shufang didn't say anything more, but just picked up the tea and drank it all.

"An Qi, you're back just in time. Remember to go with An Yi to check whether Chu Bangguo knows about what Chu Yaozu did." She put down the cup, pulled Chen Changli and was about to leave: "We are tired too, let's go back and rest first."

She deliberately wanted to leave space for the two of them, and walked quite fast. Before Caixia could react, she and An Qi were the only ones left at the scene.

Facing An Qi, Caixia felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head slightly: "Master Mozhu, you, you are tired from the journey, go back first."

"Did Chu Yaozu hurt you?"

Hearing this, Caixia was slightly stunned, then gently shook her head: "I'm fine, I'm fine."

Caixia's voice became smaller and smaller. She always felt that there was a burning gaze above her head. Her heartbeat gradually quickened. She suddenly put down the teacup and ran into the house.

"Master Mozhu, I'm sleepy too. I'm leaving first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was closed tightly. Looking at the closed door, An Qi's mouth corners slightly raised. He looked for a while before turning around and leaving.

That night, he carefully selected a lightweight and easy-to-use dagger from his weapons, and wrapped the dagger with a layer of soft cloth to make it easier to hold.

Looking at his masterpiece, An Qi smiled with satisfaction.

"Tomorrow, I will give this to Miss Chen so that she will have a weapon for self-defense."

Muttering to himself, An Qi looked at the dagger again and again before he put it away and went to sleep peacefully. At dawn the next day, he went to find Caixia and gave her the dagger for self-defense.

Looking at the dagger in her hand, Caixia was immediately flattered and joy appeared in her eyes. After all, this was a gift from her lover, but she still restrained herself and wanted to return the thing to Anqi.

"Master Mozhu, I can't take it. You can use it..." Before she finished her words, she was interrupted by An Qi: "I have more than one dagger. This one was specially chosen for you. Keep it for self-defense."

As he said this, he pushed the dagger towards her again. Seeing An Qi's insistence, Cai Xia was embarrassed but still accepted the gift. She blushed and thanked him: "Thank you, Master Mo Zhu."

"You're welcome." Mo Zhu was silent for a moment, looking at her timid appearance, hesitant for a moment, and finally said: "I will protect you in the future."

He said this seriously, which made Caixia's already blushing face even redder. He said affectionately, "I will protect you in the future." What's the difference between this and a confession?

For a moment, Caixia stammered, not knowing what to say. Fortunately, she suddenly saw Wan Shufang coming over with a bunch of medicinal herbs. She ran over as if she had seen a savior, "Madam, I'll help you!"

Seeing Caixia coming over, Wan Shufang smiled and said, "Okay, then help me move those medicines over. I'm going to start making cold medicine for everyone."

"Okay." Caixia ran over. The little episode of making medicine broke up the previous charming ambiguity, and they all went back to work.

After making all the medicines brought by Anqi into cold granules, Wan Shufang asked Anqi and Caixia to distribute the medicine to everyone, and reminded everyone to drink it every day.

The excess medicine was placed in the shop and Li Yao was responsible for its management and distribution.

After all this was done, An Yi's investigation also had some clues. Knowing that Chu Bangguo was unaware of what Chu Yaozu had done, Chen Changli breathed a sigh of relief: "I said, Chu Bangguo is a well-known good official, this shouldn't happen."

"Well, now that what we thought in our hearts has been confirmed, it is time to close the net and let Chu Yaozu get punished." Wan Shufang stretched out her fingers and tapped lightly on the table. Hearing this, Chen Changli nodded.

Soon, he took out some letter paper and contacted Chu Bangguo in the identity of the old Duke, hoping that he could thoroughly investigate the matter and give justice to the people.

After the letter was sent, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang could finally breathe a sigh of relief and wait quietly for Chu Bangguo's reply.

On the other hand, after receiving Chen Changli's letter, Chu Bangguo was shocked. He did not expect that the Duke would write to him, and he opened the letter with trepidation.

He glanced over and when he saw the contents clearly, he was immediately horrified and shouted, "This rebellious son has caused me such a big trouble!"

"How dare you take my daughter by force? You treat human life as worthless, you traitor." Chu Bangguo tightly grasped the letter, his brows full of anger. He slammed the table and stood up, shouting outside: "Come here, gather some people immediately and bring this traitor back to me."

"No, I want to go myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Bangguo strode out. Not long after, he gathered people and personally led the troops to capture Chu Yaozu. Since it was his biological father who was arresting the man, Chu Bangguo was not stopped and had a smooth journey all the way until he entered the Chu family's secret room.

In the secret room, Chu Bangguo just took a casual look and found more evidence. On the wall, there were a hundred beautiful pictures of missing girls!

He was immediately furious and glared at Chu Yaozu angrily: "Rebellious son, you are seeking death."

Hearing Chu Bangguo's scolding, the frightened Chu Yaozu seemed to come back to his senses. Panic appeared in his eyes, and he crawled on his knees to Chu Bangguo's feet.
