Chapter 129: Counterattack
Mrs. Chu was laughing. She felt that her husband was just like her son. Whenever he met Jiang Fan, he would always be fooled!
She turned around and glared at Jiang Fan coquettishly, then turned around and left with Chu Xinghe.
The servants who had accompanied him also followed.
Chu Yan'er looked at her father who was fooled by Jiang Fan, then looked at her two brothers, and shook her head with a smile, "Well, three idiots!"
She glared at Jiang Fan, then turned around and left with the two girls.
Jiang Fan watched his mother-in-law glare at him, and his wife glare at him again. The two of them looked as charming and charming as real sisters, and his heart began to beat wildly.
The Chu brothers looked at Jiang Fan, opened their mouths, and swallowed back what they wanted to say. Well, Jiang Fan didn't even tell them about his old father, so what else could they ask? Anyway, they just had to do whatever Jiang Fan asked them to do.
However, the two brothers were looking forward to what Jiang Fan would do after waiting for two days. They didn't know how Jiang Fan would fight back after two days of preparation.
Time passed day by day, and Jiang Fan never left the Chu family. However, white-robed guards came in and out of the Chu family from time to time.
Chu Xinghe had been criticized a lot in the past two days. However, he was no longer angry after knowing that Jiang Fan would fight back in two days.
He was thinking in his mind how he would make up for his loss when the attack came back.
To Huang Zhenren and other court officials, he is just one of them. Let him criticize as much as he wants, I will pretend not to hear them.
His attitude made Huang Zhenren and other court officials feel a little bored. But they were so mean that they couldn't help but want to scold Chu Xinghe.
As for the Chu family, they tried not to go out these two days.
During these two days, dozens of truckloads of goods were quietly delivered from Huaining County, and then distributed to fifty bookstores by the white-robed guards.
Early in the morning on the third day, Jiang Fan had just gotten up and washed up when his courtyard welcomed a lot of people.
There were Madam Chu, Chu Yan'er, two maids, the Chu brothers, and several trusted servants of the Chu family.
Seeing everyone, Jiang Fan was stunned and felt a little amused. It seemed that they had indeed suffered a lot of grievances recently and were so eager to fight back.
Under everyone's close gaze, Jiang Fan finished washing up and was dragged out of the door by Chu Yan'er without even having breakfast.
The group headed towards the Suzaku Street of the Imperial Palace. Chu Xinghe had gone to the morning court, otherwise, he would probably have joined this huge team.
So, when everyone came to Zhuque Street, Jiang Fan found a breakfast shop next to the bookstore and sat down. They ate breakfast while waiting for the development of the situation.
Today's newspaper has been printed. In order to keep it secret, Jiang Fan decided that no one in the Chu family knew the contents of the newspaper except the workers in the printing workshop. The workers were guarded by the white-robed guards and could not reveal any information about the newspaper.
Since it was a counterattack, Jiang Fan would certainly not give the enemy any preparation, otherwise, how could he fight back? His white-robed guards did a lot.
Chu Yan'er and Madam Chu on the side looked calm, as if they were not in a hurry. However, the two maids, the Chu brothers and several Chu servants seemed very anxious.
However, the newspapers were not available for sale yet, so they could only wait.
At this time, the door of the Zhuque Street Bookstore was already full of people who came to buy newspapers. The bookstore was already open, and a dozen newspaper sellers were ready.
"Why aren't they selling yet? I'm waiting to read today's newspaper. Is there any new news?"
"That's right, hurry up, why do you have to wait until the court officials leave! Really..."
"Hurry up, we can't wait..."
Shouting sounds came one after another in front of the door. There were ten teams, each with about dozens of people, and complaints were heard from time to time in the long team.
At this moment, the Suzaku Gate of the Imperial Palace in front was opened, and then the court officials walked out of the gate and headed towards the parking area for cars and horses.
The person in the lead was Chu Xinghe. He walked very fast, as if someone was chasing him.
Although, these past two days he has been pretending not to hear anyone criticizing him, he doesn't want to be criticized foolishly.
However, even though he was running in front, Huang Zhenren and other court officials behind him had no intention of letting him go and kept following him and scolding him.
"General Chu, don't leave. Let's talk. Tell us about your experience in choosing a son-in-law so that we can avoid him. It would be bad if you choose a loser!"
"Yeah, tell us about your experience so that we don't end up choosing a useless son-in-law who ruins the family."
A sarcastic voice sounded from behind, and Chu Xinghe's forehead was filled with veins. If he hadn't been holding back, he would have turned around and beaten someone up.
He quickened his pace and walked towards where he parked his horse. The people behind him saw Chu Xinghe like this and burst into laughter, laughing unscrupulously and arrogantly.
They mocked Chu Xinghe for a while, then felt it was boring, and then looked towards the bookstore on Zhuque Street. Most of the people walked over there together.
After all, spraying it every day has become their daily routine, how can they miss it.
Especially Huang Zhenren and others, of course they wanted to keep the heat of the matter and let Jiang Fan's reputation as a waste spread more widely.
As soon as they approached, they saw that the newspaper was already on sale. People from the Baofan faction and the Penfan faction couldn't wait to buy the newspaper. People from the Baofan faction hoped to see useful information.
The Fan-bashing faction hoped to find news that would criticize Jiang Fan again. The newspapers were snapped up very quickly, and the subordinates of the court officials also delivered the purchased newspapers to their masters.
As soon as Chu Xinghe walked to his horse, he met his servant who was waiting there. He was led to the restaurant where Jiang Fan was.
Seeing Jiang Fan, his wife, daughter, two sons and others sitting there, he was stunned for a moment, but a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face. He walked quickly to Jiang Fan, his eyes showing expectation.
"Son-in-law! Can you spray back today..." He came up and called Jiang Fan affectionately. The term "son-in-law" came very naturally to him.
He had always been somewhat resistant to addressing Jiang Fan like this before, but recently he was really scared of being criticized and couldn't wait to get back at him.
His somewhat fawning tone and expression immediately made Mrs. Chu and the Chu brothers standing by unable to bear to watch. Chu Yan'er blushed and glared at her father.
Chu Xinghe also realized that he was wrong and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"Father-in-law, please watch the show first. You will be very angry later... Come, eat something first!" Jiang Fan said calmly as he pushed a bowl of porridge and meat buns in front of Chu Xinghe.
Chu Xinghe was a little anxious about his calm appearance, but he also knew that it was useless to be anxious. He was hungry, so he took the bowl and started eating.
Only when you are well fed and well drunk can you fight!
The other members of the Chu family looked intently towards the newspaper vendor, waiting for the development of the situation.
Sure enough, someone suddenly said, "Haha... I said that His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince is not a loser, he wouldn't sell newspapers for no reason! Did you see the business section above?"
