Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 141 Only She, She Carried the Burden Alone

"Yes!" Chu Yi got excited and found a stick from somewhere.

After Madam Ning left, he once again became the top expert here.

Beat her hard! Beat her until Li screams! Beat her until Chu Yaozong screams in agony!

They beat the second son, Chu Guangzu, and his wife, He, until they were running and jumping around. They didn't even spare the two younger children, beating them one by one with a stick, making them scream in pain.

Li was so angry that tears were about to fall: "You damned dog, look carefully who you're hitting! Stop! Stop! You dog! Ah..."

"Stop! I am now the legitimate son of the Duke. How dare you disrespect me..."

"The Duke's eldest son died on the battlefield, as everyone knows. Where did you come from, you petty thief, daring to impersonate our Marquis! I'll beat you to death!"

Chu Yi was truly going all out, beating them one by one with a single blow, leaving them utterly defeated.

The old man was so angry that he almost fainted.

Finally, the family pushed the elderly man, who had difficulty walking, and ran away quickly.

Very embarrassing.

Zisu couldn't help but burst into laughter as she watched them run away: "Ha, let's see if they dare to come back! A bunch of bad guys!"

"Of course they'll come again, and who knows who they'll bring next time."

Chu Yueli put the token away.

Zisu was also helpless. How did she end up with such a relative? It was truly disgusting!

"Miss, why is the young master's token in your hands?" This is the token of the Chu family army. Ning Anran was a member of the Chu family army before she retired.

She is no longer in the army, but fortunately she is loyal to the Chu family army and still recognizes the token.

"I asked my elder brother for it last night." Chu Yueli smiled and said, "I'm going to check on Grandfather. You all stay here in case there are any further complications from that family."

Although they mostly accepted bribes from Consort Rui to intimidate him, this family was actually thinking about even greater benefits and genuinely wanted to see the Duke.

After all, the plan to have Chu Yaozong adopted by the Duke remained unchanged.

The benefits of receiving the entire Duke's mansion far outweigh any advantages that Consort Rui could offer.

Chu Yueli entered Huiyan Pavilion.

The old Duke's health has indeed been poor lately; he can only be lucid for five or six hours a day.

More than half the time, he was in a deep sleep.

Chu Yueli personally took his pulse, and the old steward Qin Fu looked worried: "Miss, the Duke has been eating very little these past two days, and he often can't even swallow porridge. I'm worried... I'm worried that if he continues like this, his body won't be able to hold on."

Chu Yueli put the Duke's hand down, covered him with the blanket, and glanced back at Qin Fu.

Qin Fu understood and personally saw her out.

Chu Yueli faced the wind, concealing the sorrow in her eyes, and turned to look at Qin Fu, saying softly, "I'm afraid... it will be very difficult to get through this winter."

Upon hearing this, Qin Fu's heart broke, and he almost burst into tears.

Chu Yueli calmly comforted him, saying, "Uncle Qin, Grandfather has been ill for so long, and his depression has been unbearable. It is a blessing from God that he has made it to this day. We don't need to be too sad. Everyone has to go through this."

Qin Fu looked at her with great heartache: "Miss is feeling bad, yet she has to comfort this old man like me. I am not even one ten-thousandth as good as Miss."

She's just a seventeen-year-old girl!

When the Marquis and his wife, along with their two uncles, passed away, only the young lady could bear it all, meticulously arranging the funerals for her elders.

Only Qin Fu knew that after arranging everything, the young lady hid away and cried all night, her heart breaking, and she fell seriously ill from crying.

The young lady was only eleven or twelve years old at that time!
