Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What did you say? I’m talking to you. What does it have to do with your second brother?” Madam Liu did not understand.

“Coincidentally, I have something to tell you. Second Brother had been deceived for his carpentry work. I caught the person, but Second Brother still doesn’t know that the other party is bad. Two days ago, he even went to the county to have a drink with the other party.” Chu Heng decisively diverted his mother’s attention. He did not care how much of a shock this news would cause in the Chu family.

“What did you say? Drinking? Deceived?” Madam Liu felt her nerves throbbing. She rubbed her temples, turned around, and found a wooden stick beside her. She did not care about talking to Chu Heng anymore and went to look for Chu Cai, who was about to go home.

“Second Son, come in with me.” Madam Liu called out to him with a dark face.

“Mother?” Chu Cai suddenly felt a little weak. “Mother, why did you call me?” he asked hesitantly.

“Just come in when I call you in. Why are you asking so many questions?”

“Third Brother, you come in too.”

Chu Heng had just reached the door and was about to go back to accompany his wife. When he heard this, he was expressionless and wanted to struggle.

“You…” Madam Liu seemed to have known what he was going to say. “Settle this matter before you leave.”

“Is there something wrong?” Chu Zhiwen walked to his side and asked in a low voice.

“Father, let’s go in and talk.”

Chu Cai lowered his head and entered the room. Just as he was about to sit down, he heard Madam Liu slam her palm on the table. “Stand there first.”

Chu Cai instantly felt even more guilty.

There were only a few adults in the room.

The children had gone to the side room to play.

“Mother, this…What happened?”

“Let me ask you, did you go out to drink with that Old Master Xu before the New Year?”

Chu Cai immediately felt a little guilty and his face turned red. How did you know?”

“Drinking? Where did you go drink?” Madam Wang did not understand the situation.

The corner of Madam Liu’s mouth twitched slightly. Only Madam Wang was so magnanimous that she did not even know that her husband had gone to that kind of place.

“Mother, I really only drank. I didn’t touch those girls. I’m already so old. It was Old Master Xu who kept forcing me to drink. He said that he would settle the bill the next day. I was just happy, so I drank some wine.”

“But then I drank too much. When I woke up in the morning, I…”

“What?” Madam Wang finally reacted and glared at him.

Chu Cai was a little flustered. “I don’t know either. There was a woman lying next to me. That woman said that I slept there last night, but I don’t remember anything. I was drunk. How could I remember all this?”

Madam Wang’s eyes immediately turned bloodshot. “You knew you have bad alcohol tolerance, but you still insisted on drinking. Now, you’ve been tricked.”

“Wife, I really didn’t do anything. I swear, I was drunk. What could I have done? That woman just wanted to extort money from me. How could I give it to her? I told that woman to look for Old Master Xu, and I ran away,” Chu Cai said righteously.

“How did you escape?” Chu Lin frowned. “How would the people inside be willing to let you run?”

“Big Brother, you don’t know this, right? Old Master Xu is very famous. Many people in the county know him and know that he has a rich family. I’m just a man wearing ordinary coarse clothes. How can I be richer than him? Besides, he invited me over. I can’t even give them more money if I stay. Naturally, they didn’t stop me. I said I was going to the toilet and ran away,” Chu Cai mumbled.

Madam Liu was speechless, not knowing what to say to her second son.
