Chapter 202 Admit it
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a servant coming in with two people.
Chu Jun looked at the two and said, "You said it was the son of my general's mansion who owed the debt?"
"General, the man said he was from your house. We saw that he could enter and leave your house freely, so we agreed to let him buy on credit." The two men answered together.
"What a joke, you must have recognized the wrong person. There is only one person in my house..." Chu Jun said this, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head. He suddenly remembered that there was another person who he had forgotten about. He turned his head and looked at Zhao Jing who was sitting at the back. He lowered his head and looked a little guilty, constantly reducing his presence.
Chu Jun then felt something was wrong and thought to himself, could it be him?
"Father, everyone in our house is here now, so why don't we let those two identify the person? If they made it up, we certainly won't let them off easily." Chu Qianyu said.
The old lady also spoke at this time, and said confidently: "Let them look for the person they are talking about." She was very confident that no one in the mansion would be involved in gambling.
Chu Jun glanced at Zhao Jing, sighed, and said to the two men, "Look around to see if the person you mentioned is here?"
After the two men agreed, they began to search in the hall. After looking around for a while and not finding anyone, their hands began to tremble with nervousness. They even doubted whether they had really seen it wrong.
The two looked at each other, which gave each other some courage and they began to look carefully again.
"If you can't find it, get out quickly. We have important things to do today." The old lady became impatient when she saw that the two of them had walked around without finding anyone.
As soon as he finished speaking, one of them looked at Zhao Jing who was sitting in the corner with some doubts. Then a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He walked up to Zhao Jing who was hiding himself with his head down and said, "Sir, please raise your head."
When the other person saw his companion walking over, he hurriedly followed and even squatted down to take a closer look at Zhao Jing.
He still kept his head down, as if he didn't hear it.
"It's him!" After looking at Zhao Jing, the gambling house's servant stood up and pointed at Zhao Jing and said confidently.
Seeing this, the old lady could no longer sit still and stood up. She glanced at Zhao Jing and then said to the two men, "Did you see it clearly?"
Before the old lady could continue, Zhao Jing's mother, Zhao Li, stood up, walked up to the two of them, pushed them, and said angrily: "How could it be my grandson? My grandson passed the exam and became a scholar. How could he do such a thing!"
"Get out! Get out! Don't ruin my grandson's reputation. My grandson is going to be a high official in the future."
Zhao Li's face was grim, as if she was extremely angry. She pointed at them and cursed them, spitting all over the place.
The two men took a step back, looked at Chu Jun with pleading eyes and begged: "General, this is the man. When he came to our gambling house, he said that he would soon be adopted as your son. We didn't believe it at first. But he brought us to the gate of the general's mansion and walked in with a swagger. And the gatekeeper was also respectful to him. So we believed it."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask anyone from our gambling house to come and identify him. They will definitely recognize him."
The servant of Fengyin Pavilion also nodded and said: "This young man is right. He has been in our Fengyin Pavilion for several days in a row. He also boasted that he would be the son of the general's mansion in the future. Many young masters also came forward to make friends with him. And they put the account on this young master. Please, general, make the decision for us. If we can't get the silver back today, we will have to starve in the future. We have old people and young children in our family..."
Zhao Li's face flushed with anger after hearing this. In her mind, Zhao Jing was the most well-behaved child and it was impossible for him to do such a thing. Someone must have framed him.
After looking around the hall, he fixed his eyes on Chu Wenzhou, then pointed at him and said, "Tell me! Did you do this? You want to frame our brother. Did you know that my grandson will be adopted by Jun'er and his family soon? You are jealous and that's why you did this to frame him!"
Chu Wenzhou was confused, not understanding why he was suddenly dragged into this situation. Before he could react, Li Jing stood up and pointed at Zhao Lishi with a protective look on her face, saying, "Who do you think you are? Why do you say that about my son? What evidence do you have? Why are you just talking nonsense?"
The situation was getting out of control and began to become chaotic.
Chu Jun shouted, "Shut up! If you want to quarrel, go outside!"
The two were frightened and didn't dare to speak anymore, but they still stared at each other fiercely, wishing they could scratch each other's faces.
Chu Ming stepped forward and held Li Jing back, saying, "Don't bother with her. She's just a woman from the market. We know our son very well. Big brother will surely be able to find out. Don't forget what we are here for today. Don't anger Big brother and the others."
After hearing this, Li Jing reluctantly snorted at Zhao Li and sat down.
Chu Junxian turned around and looked at Mo Yinan and said, "My Lord, there are some things to deal with at home today. Maybe..."
"It's okay, I don't mind." Mo Yinan said calmly. He even looked at the people standing in the hall with interest.
Chu Jun didn't expect the Regent to be in such a good mood today. Although he is now his daughter's husband, it's not good for him to stay any longer after such a thing happened at home. But he didn't seem to understand. It was not easy for him to just kick him out.
He looked at Chu Qianyu with some embarrassment, hoping that she could persuade him, but he never expected that instead of putting out the fire, she fueled the fire.
She said slowly, "Father, the two brothers have identified the person. You should quickly ask my cousin what's going on. Don't let anyone misunderstand you."
Chu Jun was stunned after hearing this, then he sighed helplessly, turned around and looked at Zhao Jing and said, "What they said is true. You'd better answer truthfully. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to find out the truth."
When Zhao Li heard the threatening tone in Chu Jun's words, she glared at him unhappily and was about to say something.
Then I heard a 'plop' sound.
She turned around and saw Zhao Jing kneeling on the ground. She said in disbelief, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Jing did not answer her, but cried, "Uncle, it was me. I was bewildered for a moment and did all these things. I hope you won't be angry. I...I will find a way to pay it back."
"Is it really you?" Chu Jun's face turned cold instantly and he shouted angrily.
Not only Chu Jun was surprised, but even the old lady was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time. She had never planned to adopt Zhao Jing to Jun'er, but she thought that he was too old to be disciplined. And he must have some bad habits after being in a small place for many years. Unexpectedly, her guess turned out to be right.
Li Jing sneered at Zhao Li and said, "Now you see clearly, you still had the nerve to slander my son just now. You have no idea what kind of moral character your grandson has."
Zhao Lishi didn't care about Li Jing at this moment. She quickly walked up to Zhao Jing and pulled his clothes and said, "Is it really you? Grandmother doesn't believe it!"
Zhao Jing stepped back and looked at Zhao Li and said, "It is my grandson who has disappointed my grandmother. It was my first time here and I couldn't control myself..."
