Chu Wang Fei

by Ning er

  After Yun Xuan Zhi saw the disdainful look on Su Yuan’s face, his heart was suddenly annoyed. He rushed towards Steward Zhao and commanded “Allow the kitchen to send the food to Qi Luo Yuan Let Da Xiaojie to have her meal alone with Chu Xiang. No need to wait for me!”

  Hearing Yun Xuan Zhi’s bad tone of voice Steward Zhao immediately nodded his head and agreed. He was about to turn around yet he was called back by Yun Xuan Zhi as he instructed again “In the future entering or exiting my Yun Xiang Fu you have to open your eyes wider. Don’t just allow any cat or dog to come inside, so as to avoid making my place dirty!”

  Yun Xuan Zhi was really getting angry and Steward Zhao could only nod his head. After which he immediately retreated out from the guest room.

  “Yun Xiang is quite arrogant. Are you saying these words for the purpose of making me hear them! Humph!” Watching Yun Xuan Zhi while he was strutting around Su Yuan sneered at him incessantly.

  “Whether I am arrogant or not it is none of your business, Governor Su! Although, Governor Su’s power based on your official post had excessively pushed down on me, making me feel confused occasionally. With Governor Su as the high official of the Ministry of Justice your arrogance was actually greater than Wang Ye’s. Earlier when I came you hadn’t stood up to greet me maybe some other day in front of His Majesty Governor Su will also behave like this?” Yun Xuan Zhi answered back sarcastically.

  Yun Xuan Zhi was originally a literary official also the top-scorer of the literary competition during those years. In addition to his many years of experience in the royal court he was naturally eloquent. He was just being courteous towards Su Yuan because of considering his affection towards Su Qing but now that Su Qing was already dead and in addition to the matter regarding Su Qing murdering his very first son, it had caused Yun Xuan Zhi to harbor hate in his heart. Naturally he would not give respect to Su Yuan even his spoken words were extremely incisive. For a moment Su Yuan, who was an expert in punishing people, was unable to respond.

  Watching Su Yuan who seemed to be a bit distracted Yun Xuan Zhi continued “Governor Su, do you think that I really had no idea about who was the person behind the incident of the entire Xiang Fu being imprisoned due to an accusation? You and I had been attending the Imperial Court together for so many years. Also because of Su Qing we were also associated with each other for a long time. Su Yuan, about your personal character, do you think I still not thoroughly understand it? You always get along with those who follow you and kill those who would go against you. People only have to observe those bones of the dead inside the prison cell of the Ministry of Justice and they would know that you are a very vicious and merciless person! But you have chosen the wrong target. Do you think that choosing the time when Chu Fei Yang was out of the capital you could capture the entire Yun Xiang Fu in one go? Do you think that I, Yun Xuan Zhi, had relied on other people’s power to climb to my current position? It was because I had tolerated your behavior for so many years, which had caused you to forget your own standing, applying your own scheme on me! This time you weren’t able to fulfill Chen Wang’s wish, do you think that Chen Wang will simply let you slip away from it? And because of Meng’er you had offended Chu Fei Yang, do you think Chu Fei Yang will generously forgive you! At this moment you still have the face to sit inside my house to mock and ridicule me, Su Yuan, why don’t you check how many heads you have, so that it would be enough for the two of them to chop them off!”

  Such kind of trick to attack the heart, Yun Xuan Zhi had brought it to the point of perfection but what he had said were also the facts.

  Because of his spoken words, Su Yuan’s face looked even uglier. Even his heart was beating furiously.

  During these few days he had been living in fear and trepidation. after all Chen Wang had already by mistake thought that he was the one who delivered Yun Ruo Xue to Chen Wang Fu. And with regards to the matter that he deliberately entrap Yun Xuan Zhi allowing Yun Qian Meng to go to jail, perhaps he had also incurred hatred from Chu Fei Yang.

  Yet these two people had not made any new moves recently, h could it be because they were still trying to find evidences by prolonging the time on purpose? Or perhaps they intended to hit the right target by taking his life?

  With this analysis, Su Yuan’s heart suddenly trembled. If he only needed to face Chu Fei Yang he still had a little bit of odds of success but if Chen Wang also refused to protect him, perhaps his entire Su Fu would also suffer along with him.

  The more he thought the more Su Yuan’s mind became even more confused. Only to blame his steward who came to report to him earlier, saying that the manservant of Yun Xiang Fu had thrown Su Qing’s corpse by the doorway of Su Fu. Then with his heart filled with anger he rushed over here. However, he had not delicately thought this series of events through and that led to these consequences.

  For a moment Su Yuan’s heart was greatly confused. Yet, now that he had broken off his relationship with Yun Xuan Zhi, the other person involved might not pay attention to him. A feeling of hard struggle without support suddenly appeared and made Su Yuan to get caught up with a feeling that made him feel as if on the edge of an impasse. Suddenly he could no longer sit down as he wanted to get up and leave. Yet, unexpectedly Steward Zhao came in again striding quick steps.

  “Xiangye!” Steward Zhao appeared to be a bit hesitant as he had a look which was different from his usual wise one. Even his voice expressed cautiousness.

  “What’s the matter?” This time Yun Xuan Zhi was in his carefree mood due to having had defeated Su Yuan. Thereforewith just a simple glance at Steward Zhao he had not noticed the slight changes in him.

  Hearing Yun Xuan Zhi’s interrogation Steward Zhao casted a sidelong glance towards Su Yuan, afterwhich he quietly proceeded beside Yun Xuan Zhi. Using an extremely low voice he said a few things which caused Yun Xuan Zhi’s eyes to immediately sink. The delighted look in his eyes earlier was already being replaced by anger and with cold rays emitting out from his eyes he stared at Steward Zhao and dangerously confirmed “Is this true?”

  Being glanced by those terrifying Yun Xuan Zhi’s eyes Steward Zhao’s heart trembled. Suddenly he nodded his head which was on the verge of falling down.

  Such kind of matter why would a steward like him dared to fabricate it? Yet, he had not expected that Chen Wang would be so heartless. Based on Da Xiaojie’s words he had delivered Yun Ruo Xue to Chen Wang Fu. Although he himself was angered after being scolded by Yun Ruo Xue earlier but Yun Ruo Xue was an honorable daughter of Yun Xiang Fu after all yet unexpectedly Chen Wang had not even give Yun Xiang face. It indeed had caused other people to feel scared.

  Su Yuan had noticed that Yun Xuan Zhi’s facial complexion had turned extremely ugly. His heart was puzzled and then he was about to speak he saw Yun Xuan Zhi’s both gloomy eyes suddenly glanced at him. After which he heard Yun Xuan Zhi coldly giving him the notice to leave “If there’s no other concerns, Governor Su you may take your leave! My Xiang Fu is too small to fit in a huge god like you!”

  After speaking Yun Xuan Zhi got up. Leading Steward Zhao they left the guest room.

  Yun Xuan Zhi went out of Yun Xiang Fu while taking quick steps all the way. With Steward Zhao’s guiding they hopped onto the horseback and all the way advanced towards the direction of an old temple in the outskirts which had been abandoned for a very long time.

  Meanwhile, Chu Fei Yang was accompanying Yun Qian Meng as they were having their lunch and during this time Xi Lin quickly approached outside the door. Seeing this situation Chu Fei Yang used the chopsticks to give Yun Qian Meng some eggplants then after putting them down he went out to hear Xi Lin’s report which was given in a lowered voice.

  “What happened?” Seeing Chu Fei Yang leaving the table during their meal Yun Qian Meng was somewhat puzzled as she watched him came inside again.

  “It’s not a big deal! It’s just Yun Xiang had driven
Su Yuan away!” Chu Fei Yang spoke wearing a simple smile while pouring some hot soup in a bowl and then laying it down on the table before Yun Qian Meng,.

  But Yun Qian Meng had actually seen his grave and stern expression when he came earlier yet when facing her he would always think about pretending as if everything was going well, allowing her to live in a world that he had created. This made Yun Qian Meng suddenly feel that the food was being tasteless and she immediately pushed away the bowl of soup in front of her. Seriously looking at Chu Fei Yang she asked “Is there something up in the imperial court?”

  Having heard what was said Chu Fei Yang hooked up a smile. His heart feeling certain that his own expression had caused Yun Qian Meng to be curious, particularly when Yun Qian Meng insisted on asking about the matter. Perhaps he could only raise his hands and surrender. Chu Fei Yang could only manage to reply with “Earlier Xi Lin came to report saying that Yun Ruo Xue was found in an abandoned temple in the outskirts of the city!”

  Seeing Chu Fei Yang was only telling the general information Yun Qian Meng slightly knitted up her brows as a somewhat bad premonition flashed through her mind. Afterwhich she spoke “Isn’t she inside the Chen Wang Fu? Why would she show up in an abandoned temple?”

  Although Jiang Mu Chen had a natural disposition for being cold but it would be unlikely for him to go so far as to throw Yun Ruo Xue to an old temple. At most he would only lock his door and refuse to see her. Why would he go through a lot of trouble of taking her to the outskirts, would he not be doing more than what was being required?

  Seeing that Yun Qian Meng had already became suspicious Chu Fei Yang held up her hand and placed it beside his lips and gently rubbed. After that he explained “Yun Ruo Xue was dishonored by a few beggars! Yun Xiang had already rushed over there to handle this matter. This is the family matter of Yun Xiang Fu, we must not meddle with it!”

  Hearing such response Yun Qian Meng’s heart was greatly shocked. No wonder Chu Fei Yang had refused to mention this matter earlier. She had not expected that Yun Ruo Xue would encounter such kind of thing!

  “I only permitted Steward Zhao to send her over to Chen Wang Fu, could it be that there had been a mishap in between?” The matter concerning the cancellation of the wedding had made Yun Qian Meng to suffer from being pushed aside by other people, If Yun Ruo Xue had truly lost her virginity to some beggars perhaps she would have no desire to live her life anymore.

  Although Yun Qian Meng just wanted to teach Yun Ruo Xue a lesson but she had never thought of destroying the chastity that was extremely important to a woman during the ancient times. After all they were both women. Yun Qian Meng’s previous life was being a police officer naturally she would not want to see someone being raped. Perhaps among these people was someone included who wanted to take revenge on Yun Ruo Xue by the means of her hand.

  And within Yun Xiang Fu the people who hated Yun Ruo Xue the most were Lao Taitai y and Yun Yi Yi yet among the two of them one was lying on the bed suffering from paralyzing stroke while the other was taken away by Governor Qian. Perhaps even if they wanted to do their tricks, it would still be less capable than desirable.

  And Yun Yi Heng brothers were now staying inside Qing Hui Yuan with Guard Liu assigning some servant to guard them. It was very possible that they would be unable to undertake the task.

  The only other person remaining was only Steward Zhao himself. Thinking about the father of the man whom they met in the beginning of the year when they went to Su Cheng, he was the sworn brother of Zhao De. In addition to Steward Zhao who had been working under Su Qing for so many years very carefully, it was hard to avoid holding resentment towards Su Qing. Perhaps the one who intended to entrap Yun Ruo Xue, was most likely to be him!

  “Zhao De!” What Yun Qian Meng could think of would definitely be something that Chu Fei Yang had also thought of. Yun Qian Meng just simply mentioned the name of Steward Zhao yet she saw Chu Fei Yang nodding his head towards her. After that he spoke “Those beggars weren’t really beggars, but the brothers of the dead Zhao Ming!”

  Hearing him say this Yun Qian Meng slightly nodded her head. Zhao Ming had died because of helping Su Qing and her daughter yet Su Qing had not treated his family well. Perhaps it had caused the resentment. In addition to the declining relationship between Su Fu and Yun Xiang Fu, this people had planned their schems on Yun Ruo Xue. However, this Steward Zhao was quite bold. He had actually lend his hand in destroying Yun Ruo Xue. This time if he had deliberately spread this information out, perhaps the news regarding Da Xiaojie of Xiang Fu ordering people to entrap Er Xiaojie would become the widely circulated rumor.

  This might cause hostility between Yun Xiang Fu and Chu Xiang Fu and the one who would truly benefit from it would perhaps be Su Fu.

  “Don’t worry, although Yun Xiang is silly but he isn’t stupid. He’s tidying up Yun Xiang Fu, so as to avoid someone from having plans about framing yo!” Yun Qian Meng had not said anything yet Chu Fei Yang had already knew everything. Seeing her brows slightly knitted up he knew that she must have certainly thought of the relationships between these official residences, then he spoke to console her.

  “I have actually underestimated Zhao De. Underneath that face of flattery a vicious mind was concealed ! But, he had actually schemed against me, shouldn’t we return the favor to him?” A cold smile gradually was exposed on Yun Qian Meng face as she immediately stood up and went outside to personally tell Xi Lin of her own thoughts, allowing him to immediately deal with the task.

  Chu Fei Yang just looked into her eyes which contained anger with a simple smile floating in the eyes. As long as it allowed her to cool down her temper even if they wanted to let Zhao De immediately disappear from their sight what harm would it do?

  And during this time inside the abandoned temple Yun Xuan Zhi was on the edge of falling apart. He had never expected that Yun Ruo Xue would be humiliated like that. Looking down at Yun Ruo Xue who was lying straightly down in the middle of the rotten pile of straws, she was only covered by the utterly tattered inner clothes. Yun Xuan Zhi suddenly felt the unbearable heartache. He immediately removed his own outer clothing then draped them over her shoulders.

  But before he could support Yun Ruo Zue up she got up as if seeing an enemy, grabbing Yun Xuan Zhi’s arm she bit on it ferociously…...

  “Ruo Xue, I am daddy! Ruo Xue!” The unbearable pain spread through his arm. Seeing his daughter’s eyes being lifeless and with wounds all over her body, tears almost fell down from Yun Xuan Zhi’s eyes. He failed to understand why such thing had occurred without any reason.

  “Xiang Ye, please allow nubi to serve Xiaojie!” This time an experienced old Mama went ahead gently caressing Yun Ruo Xue’s back, calming her, allowing Yun Xuan Zhi to keep away from her for the time being. After that she quickly assisted Yun Ruo Xue to dress up and helped her to comb her hair, then supporting Yun Ruo Xue as they walked out of the damaged temple.

  “Ah……” Yet, the moment they stepped out of the broken temple Yun Ruo Xua saw many guards of Xiang Fu standing in front of her. She immediately held her head then started to screech very loudly…...

  Chapter 127: Part 1 Somewhere Karma Finds Retribution | Chu Wang Fei

  All the people were unable to understand why Yun Ruo Xue would scream out loud all of a sudden without any reason, especially with her whole body was trembling. Both of her hands were hugging her body tightly, her feet retreating a few steps back out of fear and trepidation, as if extremely afraid of getting in touch with people. Even her eyes looked deathly still, yet her eyes were begging for mercy and her mouth was mumbling “No… no… don’t come near me……”

  Afterwhich they saw Yun Ruo Xue running directly back inside the old temple, as if she was hiding from the current situation.

  That old Mama understood the look in Yun Xuan Zhi’s eyes when she exchanged meaningful glances with Yun Xuan Zhi. She followed Yun Ruo Xue into the broken temple, she found the trembling body of Yun Ruo Xue under the incens
e burner table. Then she gently and softly pacified her extremely tensed up behavior, Yun Ruo Xue thought it was her mother hugging her in her arms and slowly leading her out of the doorway.

  Seeing Yun Ruo Xue’s situation, Yun Xuan Zhi came to understand what sort of bitter experience she had been through. Seeing her extremely afraid of the crowd, he immediately waved his hand gesturing those guards who had come to escort out of the way. Then he just stood there waiting for the old Mama to bring Yun Ruo Xue out.

  But although on the surface Yun Xuan Zhi looked calm, but internally the anger had already rushed forth in his heart. When did his own daughter suffer this dishonor? Even if Yun Ruo Xue had such kind of mother like Su Qing, she was still the er xiaojie of Yun xiang fu. If he let her get bullied, how could he show his face anywhere? If this incident was to spread out, not only would it be difficult for Yun Ruo Xue to stand on her feet in the future, but also he will have no face to be an official of the royal court as he had lost his reputation to the greatest extent.

  Such hatred in Yun Xuan Zhi’s heart made him wanted to seize the suspect and kill him right away!

  “Xiang Ye!” This time Steard Zhao went in front and looked at him shrewdly. How could he not notice that Yun Xuan Zhi was retraining his own emotions and keeping his cool?

  But all the people who had been parents who saw their own daughter suffer from such a thing will all be unable to endure such kind of unpleasant matter, let alone Yun Xuan Zhi being the Prime Minister of the Right.

  “Why did you come here?” Steward Zhao approached without consulting anyone made Yun Xuan Zhi’s furious eyes shot a glance at him like a cold arrow. His face looked vicious which made Steward Zhao’s heart tense up. His reply become more cautious.

  “Xiang Ye, it was da xiaojie who instructed nucai to deliver the er xiaojie master to Chen Wang Fu!” Steward Zhao tried hard to emphasize his innocence on this matter, especially when he saw Yun Xuan Zhi’s expression which looked like he would never let go of this matter easily, Steward Zhao felt like it would be safer for himself to pass all the suspicions onto Yun Qian Meng.
