The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 256 256. Family Scandal

"Brother, don't worry. Your ship is not that easy to capsize. Maybe we can follow him to the sky and change the master of Jinling City."

If what he said were heard by others, it would definitely be a crime of treason.

But now the two brothers have surrendered to that person for many years, so naturally they have a backer and are not afraid of risks.

But in the Chi family not far away, the elders of the fifth house who were supposed to be happily preparing to marry their daughter were now making a fuss in their ancestral home.

"Chi Zimo, you have only been in charge of the Chi family for a few years and you dare to do this to me. Aren't you afraid that your father will fall asleep in the middle of the night and kill you?!"

The person who spoke was the fifth master of the Chi family. He was tall and handsome. Even though he was over forty, he looked very young. Standing next to Chi Zimo, he did not look old.

Beside him, the fifth lady of the Chi family was crying out of breath.

He was also a merchant by birth, and had an indirect marriage relationship with the Zhu family, so this marriage was facilitated.

Nowadays, the couple, one with a red face and the other with a white face, come to the house to make trouble, just because of the dowry.

Unfortunately, Chi Zimo looked at their performance as if they were singing opera with cold eyes. He didn't even breathe quickly, making it clear that he was not afraid of their nonsense.

The Chi family has gradually grown since the 21st generation head of the family, Chi Chengxu, became rich again.

He was a merchant by nature and had no restraint in taking concubines.

Coupled with the belief in the old custom of having many children and grandchildren, naturally there are countless side clan relatives passed down from generation to generation.

The twenty-second generation head of the family, Chi Nai, had countless wives and concubines in his life.

There are three wives alone, not to mention those who share the same concubine.

My first wife was a member of the Dong family. Unfortunately, she died of illness within a few years after giving birth to her eldest son and second son.

The Dong family was worried that their two grandsons would not be able to survive in the Chi family, which eats people without spitting out their bones, so Mr. Dong tried his best to send the two brothers to Yunqi Academy thousands of miles away, where they stayed for more than ten years.

Although he was living in poverty in the mountains, he had avoided many overt and secret struggles at home. However, after returning, he and his father were not as close as they had been when they were children.

After Dong died of illness, Mr. Chi married Zhao Xiucai's daughter as his successor on the grounds that the family needed a mistress to take charge of the family.

Mrs. Zhao was respectful, courteous, modest and submissive. She was devoted to her husband and caring to her concubines. However, she didn't know much about the business affairs of the Chi family in front of her, so she was taken advantage of when she was pregnant with Liujia.

That person is now Chi Wuye's biological mother and his former favorite concubine, Aunt Lan.

Aunt Lan was born into a merchant's family. Her family was mediocre, but she was a powerful one.

Not only did she make a name for herself in the business world at a young age, she also hooked up with Mr. Chi through the Chamber of Commerce and became his most favored and most trusted aunt.

After Zhao learned about this, she was tolerant and took her back as a sister, but unexpectedly she lost her life because of it.

When she gave birth, there was no one at home to take care of her.

When Aunt Lan came back from socializing with Master Chi, she was completely dead, and even the child in her belly was suffocated.

After only half a month of grief, Aunt Lan was straightened up and gave birth to her legitimate son Chi Wu Ye half a year later.

Cheng Huan has been under the lap of Master Chi since he was a child, so he was particularly favored, and gradually developed his unruly and willful temperament. There is nothing he dare not do in Jinling City. Anyway, if something happens, the Chi family will bear it. .

Although he is not as respected as the eldest son and second son born to Yuan's wife Dong, he still occupies the title of legitimate son, so he is also a prominent figure in the family.

The mother and son thought that this time they could keep the clouds clear and the moon shine, and Xiao thought that the Chi family's huge property would fall into their hands.

Unexpectedly, the eldest son and the second son born from Yuan Qi also returned from school. Not only that, they also married a cousin of the Dong family. The couple was harmonious, and brothers and sisters respected each other.

Mr. Chi was always comforting, and the pride in his heart arose spontaneously.

Chi Zimo was born at this time, so he has been favored by thousands of people since he was born.

Under such momentum, Mrs. Lan and Mr. Chi Wu were anxious. They saw that the great opportunity was about to be taken away. The position of the head of the family, the power of the family, and the helm of the family were all going to be handed over to others. How could she bear it.

They just kept doing nothing while they were out on business, and colluded with the bandits to kill Chi Dalang, his wife, and Chi Erlang, without even leaving a whole body behind.

At that time, Chi Zimo was only eight years old and had already lost his father and mother.

Mr. Chi lost his wife in his early years and his son in his middle age. Under this blow, his body, which was originally fine, suddenly seemed to be hollowed out, and he could only live a life of survival.

At the same time, he took Chi Zimo to his own courtyard to educate him personally, but sent Mrs. Lan, who had served him for half his life, to live in another courtyard.

Such an attitude allowed those who were clinging to the Chi family to immediately see what Mr. Chi was thinking.

Naturally, the mother and son are not as caring and flattering as before.

Since ancient times, it has been easy to move from frugality to luxury, but it has been difficult to move from luxury to frugality. The mother and son were used to living a life of shouting and hugging each other. How could they endure such "slow treatment"? Therefore, they always bore their grudges against the young Chizi Mo. On the body.

Master Chi and Chi Zimo are one sick and the other weak, but they have to fight with Mrs. Lan and Chi Wulang who are in their prime, which is naturally difficult.

Coupled with the excessive trust in Mrs. Lan before, many businesses were entrusted to her to handle, so she was naturally able to compete with her.

It was not until Chi Zimo turned eighteen that Master Chi could safely entrust most of his family property to the eldest grandson whose parents had died young, and then passed away.

As for Ikegoro, naturally he can only get some share from the rest of the fragmented family property.

But the Chi family is so powerful that even the marginal family fortune is actually enough for them to have enough food and clothing.

It's a pity that people's hearts are not as strong as snakes swallowing elephants.

The original Aunt Lan and now Mrs. Chi were naturally even more unhappy.

In the past ten years, he has tried every means to kill Chi Zimo and drive him away, but he was defeated one by one.

And the power in her hands was taken back one by one by Chi Zimo, and now only a body is left in the backyard for the rest of her life.

So they wanted to take this opportunity to cause trouble.

It was just to show the rest of the Chi family how Chi Zimo, the so-called head of the family, humiliated his elders and didn't care about the lives of his brothers and sisters.

I don't want to use this to drag him into trouble, but it is good to throw dirt on him.

Although there are many side branches of the Chi family, the main line has always been in the first house.

For example, the unknown secret navigation route, the soldiers raised by the family, and nearly 80% of the family property are inherited from the Dafang lineage.

Why are they both legitimate sons, but there is such a huge gap in the family fortune they can inherit? How can they be reconciled to this!

No, the fifth master and his wife of the Chi family at the other end were scolding and crying, making everyone present look embarrassed.
