Chapter 220 Handing Chu Yun Over to Us

“But if we knock on the door like this, we’ll definitely alert the enemy, and Prince Xiao will hide.”

The Chu Ci (Songs of Chu) is located on the road.

If they knocked on the door as soon as King Xiao entered, he might suspect that he was being followed.

"Then...then let's climb over the wall and get in. Second brother, can you climb over it?"

Chu's father glanced at Chu Cilin's thin frame and said.

His two sons studied literature from a young age and had never been exposed to martial arts. They lived a wealthy life from childhood and never experienced any hardship.

Chu Cilin felt somewhat embarrassed by his father's gaze. How could a grown man like him not be able to climb over a wall?

So, Chu Cilin could only huff and puff, "Come on, Dad, go see if I can climb over now!"

He quickly circled around to the side of the house, stepped on a wooden barrel, and prepared to flip it over.

"Hey, second brother, wait a minute, take me up with you!"

Chu's father followed, and seeing that Chu Cilin was about to climb over the wall, he immediately shouted loudly.

So, Chu Ci first climbed over the wall, and then pulled his father up with him.

However, the two were stumped again after seeing what was happening inside the house.

"How do we get down from such a height?"

Father Chu frowned.

There was nothing to cling to inside; the ground beneath the courtyard wall was bare, and the trees in the yard were far apart.

Just as the two were hesitating and struggling, they suddenly saw Prince Xiao walking towards them from the corridor in the courtyard, with Chu Yun's arm around his waist.

"Brother-in-law, once I go to the manor outside the city, will you really come to see me often?"

Chu Yun wiped away her tears and said in a soft, reluctant voice.

It turned out that ever since she and Prince Xiao were caught cheating by Su Liluo, many women in the neighborhood had disliked her and often came to cause her trouble.

Just like yesterday, I was about to go out for a stroll when, as I passed by my neighbor's house, she threw a bucket of foul-smelling water at me from the side.

He tried to reason with her and make her apologize, but the old lady actually said that she was a slut and that the filth suited her perfectly.

Chu Yun was furious, and the two started arguing. But the neighbors all came out to help the old lady scold him.

Chu Yun cried all night, feeling utterly wronged, and finally wrote a letter to King Xiao.

"As long as I have time, I will naturally go to see you. Then you will be my person, and no one will dare to bully you."

King Xiao comforted him.

"This is outrageous!"

Chu's father and the others overheard the conversation between King Xiao and Chu Yun from the wall, and their faces turned ashen with anger.

They had initially worried about how to get down the high wall, but now they were so angry that they didn't care about that anymore.

Chu's father immediately ignored his foot pain, chose a grassy spot, and jumped down. Chu Cilin followed suit.

"who?"

After Chu's father and the others jumped down, they felt a sharp pain in their feet and naturally made a sound.

Upon hearing the sound, King Xiao cautiously looked around.

Despite the pain in his foot, Chu's father slowly stood up and limped angrily toward King Xiao.

He then cursed, "Prince Xiao, why are you still with this shameless woman? Didn't you say you'd driven her away?"

When King Xiao saw that it was Chu's father coming, he was shocked and immediately let go of Chu Yun's hand.

Looking at Chu's father with a mixture of surprise and panic, she asked, "Father-in-law, how... how did you all end up here?"

"Are you planning to hide her away again? Wasn't it with her that you caused the scandal last time? Prince Xiao, you must give us an explanation today, or we'll take it to the Emperor!"

Chu's father pointed at King Xiao and Chu Yun, cursing them angrily.

Chu Cilin also looked at Prince Xiao with resentment, "Your Highness, what has my sister done to wrong you? Why are you deceiving her like this? You can't protect Chu Yun anymore today! We're taking her away!"

"No, Your Highness, I... I don't want to go with them."

When Chu Yun heard Chu Cilin say that he would take her away, he immediately hid behind King Xiao in fear.

She knew that Chu Cilin had the best relationship with Chu Yan and doted on her the most. From the beginning, he didn't really trust her. If she were to fall into his hands, it would definitely not end well.

Xiao Wang's expression tightened. "Father-in-law, you have misunderstood this matter. My relationship with Yun'er is innocent. It was because Yan'er misunderstood Yun'er that I took extra care of her. Yun'er is Yan'er's benefactor. I didn't want Yan'er to be labeled as ungrateful, so I took extra care of her."

"Benefactor? Your Highness, are you still lying about Yan'er? Whether Chu Yun is Yan'er's benefactor or not, I won't say for now. But if we are to repay the debt of gratitude, then as Yan'er's father and brothers, we should also have the right to do so."

To avoid misunderstandings and to prevent Yan'er from being hurt, you should hand Chu Yun over to us. We will take good care of her. What's wrong with that?

Chu Cilin stared intently at King Xiao.

King Xiao felt the pressure emanating from Chu Cilin and was very displeased, but what Chu Cilin said made perfect sense.

I didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

He could only remain silent for a moment.

Father Chu added, “The second son is right. If it is to repay a debt of gratitude, then we can take care of Chu Yun. Your Highness, you can entrust Chu Yun to us. She is not young anymore, and we will arrange a good marriage for her. Your Highness does not need to worry about it anymore.”

What!

Are you going to arrange a marriage for Chu Yun?

Upon hearing this, even the usually composed Prince Xiao showed a hint of unease on his face.

He suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth, saying, "Father-in-law, I have made arrangements for Yun'er. She will be sent out of the city today."

But Chu's father completely ignored his arrangement and said, "Your Highness should avoid suspicion. If you arrange for her to go to your place, there's no guarantee that you won't do something in private."

If Your Highness still cares about your reputation and doesn't want things to get too ugly, please hand the person over to us.

"Father-in-law, you..."

King Xiao was furious when he saw Chu's father's resolute attitude.

This is a threat!

He hates being threatened!

Chu Yun was also very afraid of falling into the hands of the Chu family, not to mention that they would arrange a marriage for her. She didn't want to marry someone else.

"Your Highness..."

Chu Yun grabbed Xiao Wang's sleeve in fear, her eyes brimming with tears, looking weak and pitiful.

When King Xiao saw her like this, his heart softened completely.

He could tell that Chu's father and his family were determined to send Chu Yun away and would also deal with her.

Having already completely broken off relations, he thought about it and finally hardened his heart.

His expression suddenly changed, and he no longer seemed to be willing to negotiate as before.

Instead, he made up his mind and looked at Chu's father and the others without fear.

"Father-in-law, Yoon-ah's reputation is ruined, so I must take responsibility for her. I have decided to take Yoon-ah as my concubine!"

"Your Highness, you..."

Upon hearing this, Chu's father was so angry that he almost lost his balance, but fortunately Chu Cilin supported him.
