Yu Cui wiped her tears and continued,"" The Head Butler who was beaten up didn't give up. He complained to the Head Elder, accusing Sister Zhu Lan of seducing him. The Head Elder, who was in charge of the family's criminal law, was instantly furious. He sentenced Sister Zhu Lan to the crime of ignoring the family rules and ruining the Chu family's reputation. She was hung on a tree and beaten for a day and a night. In the end, she was beaten black and blue and was on the verge of death. Then, he was demoted to clean the pigsty and Ma Peng. He ate and slept in the pigsty all day long. He ate rotten and inferior food all day long. He was often hungry and his monthly salary was deducted for a year. Now, not only was Sister Zhu Lan suffering from hunger every day, but she was also bullied by those horse slaves.”
When Chu Nan heard Yu Cui's explanation, not only did his anger surge, but his eyes also contained a sharp killing intent. He analyzed the ins and outs of the matter and basically understood the whole story.
It was obvious that the First Elder's faction was deliberately suppressing the Patriarch's faction. They wanted to use this to establish their prestige and let everyone in the Chu Manor and Ping Yang Town know that following the Patriarch would not end well. He even suspected that the Head Butler's teasing of Zhu Lan was instigated by the Head Elder.
He just didn't know who the young lady who had beaten the Head Butler and the others away was. Why was he looking for him?
"Alright, let's not think about this for the time being. Let's settle the matter at hand first."
Chu Nan immediately ran towards the pigsty.
"Save Zhu Lan first. As for that Head Butler, a disrespectful dog servant, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with you in the future.”
Now, Chu Nan understood that in order to deal with the Great Elder, he had to first eliminate all of the Great Elder's lackeys.
The Chu family's Ma Peng was next to the pigsty. At this moment, the stench was overwhelming. Beside the pigsty was a manure pit that was five feet long and three feet wide. The manure pit was filled with horse and pig feces, and a group of flies flew around the manure pit. There was a girl with an oval face who was dressed in coarse linen clothes. She was cleaning the manure in the pigsty with great effort. Then, she used a dustpan to collect the manure and pour it into the manure pit. At this moment, there were still whip marks on her forehead. Her clothes were tattered, and even her pants were torn. She was limping as she walked. There was a little boy of eight to nine years old who was cleaning the pigsty with her. The boy did not like to talk, and only occasionally piled up the piles of animal waste with the girl for easy cleaning.
At this moment, a few horse slaves were feeding the horses in the horse peng beside the pigsty. They were looking at the girl's beautiful face lecherously and throwing piles of horse dung on her from time to time. Beside the pigsty and Ma Peng, there was a small house that was half the height of a human. It was only a little higher than the pigsty. There was a tattered quilt and a pillow made of tattered straw mat inside. From time to time, flies, cockroaches, and mosquitoes flew around. Obviously, this was the girl's residence. It was dirty and simple, and it was in the pigsty.
This residence was also arranged by the Great Elder. She could only curl up inside and sleep at night. This residence was not even as comfortable as the pigsty next door.
At this moment, a middle-aged horse coachman with a wretched appearance and a full beard walked up to the girl and grabbed the girl's face with his rough hand.
"Ah! Stinky hooligan, get lost!"
The girl screamed in fear and pushed him away, spitting on his face.
The middle-aged stableman wiped the spit on his face with his finger. He didn't care, but walked towards the girl again with a malicious expression.
With a loud slap, a big mouth slapped the girl's face. The middle-aged horse groom had the Sixth Sky of Soul Connection Realm. Although he couldn't become a Soul Master in his life, his cultivation base was the highest among the horse grooms. He was the leader of the horse grooms and was responsible for managing them. His strength was much greater than that of ordinary people. Ordinary people would find it difficult to withstand a slap from him, let alone a weak little girl.
"Damn it, brat, don't act innocent in front of me. The Head Butler is already in his seventies and you're still seducing him. I'm young and strong, not much better than that old man. As long as you obey me, I will definitely not mistreat you.”
As he spoke, he reached out his rough hands to the girl's collarbone and grabbed the girl's patched collar. He lifted the girl up. The girl resisted repeatedly and punched and kicked him. However, the attack of a weak woman could not cause any harm to a beginner cultivator.
"Why do you always bully my sister?" The little boy ran to the girl's side, wanting to save her.
"Get lost! Little brat, you must be tired of living. How dare you meddle in my matters? Last time, you were stubborn and I didn't beat you hard enough. This time, I'll skin you alive!”
As he spoke, he put down Zhu Lan and raised his right foot. He wanted to kick Zhu Lan in the chest, but the young man quickly stepped forward to block the kick for Zhu Lan. This kick landed on the little boy's chest, and the weak boy was kicked out of the pigsty.
" Hahahahaha!" The other horse grooms in the stable also started to make a ruckus. Their mouths were full of clamoring words, and their quality was obvious.
"The few of you, teach him a lesson and beat him to death!”The middle-aged coachman named Chu Dazhuang pointed at the little boy and said.
Following the middle-aged horse groom's order, the few horse grooms ran over and surrounded the little boy. They punched and kicked him until blood flowed out of the boy's nose and mouth.
"You still think you are the personal maid of the young clan leader? Let me tell you, that good-for-nothing young master can't even protect himself and will soon be expelled from the family. Does he still have the strength to care about you? You might as well follow your brother. At least you don't have to sleep in this pigsty and do some heavy work.”
Chu Dazhuang was not only the head of the horse slaves, but also a distant nephew of the Great Elder, Chu Tianqi. He could be considered a trusted aide of the Great Elder. Half a month ago, the Great Elder dismissed the head of the horse appointed by the previous clan leader and appointed Chu Dazhuang to manage the horses.
"Don't force me. I've been sold to the Chu family to serve Young Master Chu Nan since I was young. I'm Young Master Chu Nan's woman when I'm alive, and I'm Young Master Chu Nan's ghost when I die. In my eyes, Young Master Chu Nan is the sky, and you're nothing!”The girl struggled to push Dazhuang Chu away again.
"Aiyo, you're quite stubborn. You actually protect that trash like this. You really don't know how to appreciate favors. Today, let me teach you a lesson.”
As Dazhuang Chu spoke, he raised his hand fiercely again. Just as he was about to beat the girl up again, his hand was suddenly grabbed by a hand and slapped in the face. He was sent flying and his body was hit into the manure pit. Half of his face was swollen and several teeth were knocked out.
"Who are you calling trash?"
Chu Nan looked at Chu Dazhuang who was struggling to get up from the manure pit. He then walked over and helped the girl up.
" Young Master!" The teary eyes of the young girl lit up as if she had seen hope.
"Sister Zhu Lan, I've made you suffer.”Chu Nan patted the dust and feces on Zhu Lan's body.
Chu Dazhuang was only brought here by the first elder half a month ago to manage the horses and had never seen Chu Nan before. Back then, everyone in Ping Yang Town knew that Chu Nan was a good-for-nothing. He had also heard of this good-for-nothing young clan leader, but he did not know him.
Seeing Chu Dazhuang being slapped into the manure pit by Chu Nan, the coachmen stopped beating the little boy and ran over to help Chu Dazhuang up.
"Who are you? I'm telling you, I'm personally appointed by the Great Elder to manage the horses. Great Elder Chu Tianqi is my uncle. If you provoke me, you won't have a good ending. Chu Dazhuang was filled with fear towards Chu Nan's strength. The fact that Chu Nan could send him flying with a single slap meant that Chu Nan's strength was far superior to his, so he could only threaten Chu Nan with words.
"You're talking to me about the Great Elder? And a trusted aide of the Great Elder?" Chu Nan's eyes were filled with killing intent.
When Chu Dazhuang and the group of coachmen saw that Chu Nan did not make a move, they mistakenly thought that the name of the great elder Chu Tianqi had frightened Chu Nan. Hence, Chu Dazhuang brought up the great elder once again.
"If I report this to the Great Elder and he insists on taking your life, as long as you kneel down and kowtow to me and hand over the silver in your hand, I will let you go.”Chu Dazhuang rubbed his swollen face and said fiercely.
"If you hadn't mentioned the Great Elder, I wouldn't have wanted to kill you. I just wanted to teach you a lesson. Today, you used the Great Elder to suppress me. Looks like you want to leave your life here today.”
Chu Nan's eyes were filled with killing intent.
