Chapter 489

489 Understanding Him!

Upon hearing the butler’s words, Matriarch Chu immediately frowned and looked guiltily towardMatriarch Bai, who also furrowed her brows and angrily questioned, “What happened? Did he get drunkand hit someone? Or did someone set him up?”

Having a few unruly grandsons that caused trouble every year, Matriarch Bai instinctively thought thatChu Cimo was also that kind of person upon hearing the butler’s words.

Matriarch Chu felt even more ashamed and quickly apologized, “Matriarch Bai, my son really… hasembarrassed you. Don’t worry, I won’t let him get away with it this time. I will make sure he behavesproperly from now on!”

The butler quickly interjected, “No, no… it’s not that. I heard the Second Young Master has offendedValor Gate and is going to have his legs broken by their disciples…”

Matriarch Chu’s face suddenly changed. “What?”

Matriarch Bai also found it unbelievable. “Offended Valor Gate?! Why would he provoke them at a timelike this? The Shen family is already in trouble, and they even want the Valor Gate’s help!”

Matriarch Chu stumbled a bit, and Bai Shanshan’s little face turned pale. She quickly looked at thebutler and said, “What’s going on? Hurry up and tell us!”

She then looked at Matriarch Chu. “Mother-in-law, grandmother, we need to replace a way to save Cimo!”

Matriarch Chu also wanted to save her son, but in this situation, she was hesitant to ask for help fromthe Bai family.

As soon as Bai Shanshan spoke up, she felt even more ashamed and looked toward Matriarch Bai.“Matriarch Bai, what do you think?”

Matriarch Bai was furious and said, “Save him? I think he needs to be taught a lesson! Let him stay athome and rest for a hundred days, at least he can keep Shanshan company!”

Bai Shanshan’s eyes welled up with tears. “Grandmother!”

Matriarch Chu also sighed, but she didn’t believe her son was that kind of person. He had been in theSea City for so many years, and although he went out every night, he never caused any trouble for thefamily. Even for the one time he got into a fight, it turned out to be a false accusation.

She furrowed her brows and said, “Although Cimo is unreliable, he never caused trouble for the family.Could there be a misunderstanding?”

Matriarch Bai had a rigid impression of Chu Cimo and sneered. “At a time like this, Matriarch Chu, youstill side with him? Valor Gate is always righteous and doesn’t bully people, so he must have donesomething wrong! Or maybe he got drunk and caused a scene!”

Matriarch Chu took a deep breath and looked toward the butler. “Tell me, what exactly happened?”

The butler finally had a chance to speak and his eyes were red. “No, Second Young Master didn’tcause trouble. He was participating in the fighting matches for our family this past month, and he finallywon the championship. As a result, he was accepted as a disciple by Valor Gate! But then it wasrevealed that he was none other than the famous thief ‘Rooftop Gentleman’ many years ago, and nowValor Gate wants to break his legs and expel him!”

Matriarch Chu’s body shook. “What?!”

Bai Shanshan was also stunned and looked incredulously at the butler. “You mean Cimo hasn’t beenhome for the past month because he was participating in fighting matches?”

Her eyes filled with tears as she looked directly at Matriarch Bai. “Grandmother, did you hear that?Cimo isn’t a useless person! He has always been working hard for the protection of the Chu and Shenfamilies!”

Upon hearing the butler’s words, Matriarch Bai already understood what had happened. At thismoment, she finally realized that she had misunderstood Chu Cimo.

She became anxious and said, “What should we do about this?!” It was clear that Chu Cimo had put ina lot of hard work to win the fighting championship and become a disciple of Valor Gate.

Matriarch Bai immediately continued, “I will go to replace my husband and think of a solution. But ValorGate’s rules are very strict, and they never got involved with the four great families’ problems. I’ll see ifmy husband can talk to Valor Gate, and we will also check on the Shen family…”

As soon as she spoke, Bai Shanshan immediately shook her head and said, “Don’t tell sister-in-lawabout this…”

Matriarch Bai was taken aback.

Bai Shanshan tearfully said, “Cimo secretly participated in the competition to give us a surprise andhelp the family. But now, he has caused trouble…”

She wiped her tears and said, “He just messaged me that he will be busy outside for two months…This is his punishment, and he will come back only after he’s fully recovered. He doesn’t want to causeany trouble for the family.”

Matriarch Chu, seeing Bai Shanshan understanding her son’s intentions, teared up and held BaiShanshan’s hand. “Shanshan, what should we do now?”

Bai Shanshan’s gaze became firm. The usually gentle woman turned to Matriarch Chu and said,“Mother-in-law, get someone to replace out where Valor Gate is and where he is being punished. I will waitfor him there tomorrow. If his legs are broken, I will take him to the hospital and accompany him duringhis recovery!”

Matriarch Chu’s eyes welled up even more as she held Bai Shanshan’s hand tightly. “Okay.”

That day, a rumor began circulating among the capital’s wealthy elite. “Have you heard? The Shenfamily is in trouble! The Queen and her people broke into the Shen Manor without regard for theirsecurity forces. So this supposedly lofty number one family of the capital is actually like this?”

“I used to think that the Shen family was unapproachable, but now they have fallen to earth.”

“Yes, and I heard that the Shen family asked the younger brother of the Chu family to participate in thefighting competition to establish contact with Valor Gate and have some means of self-protection, butinstead he was expelled by Valor Gate…”

There were rumors spreading outside, and Matriarch Bai rushed into Bai Wei’s study as soon as shereturned home.

Bai Wei seemed to have known about the situation and was on the phone with Old Master Shen.

He said, “Shall we go to ask for help from Old Hong together?”

Old Master Shen sighed. “I just contacted Old Hong, and he stated that the matter is none of the fourgreat families’ business. Besides, it’s better for your Bai family not to get involved in this matter.Otherwise, if the Queen knows your intentions, the Bai family will also be involved.”

Bai Wei immediately said, “But he is my grandson-in-law! How can I just sit and watch?”

Old Master Shen fell silent for a moment and suddenly said, “Don’t tell Jingjing about this. I havesomething else to do now. Let’s go to Old Hong’s place later and think of a solution then.”

“Okay.” Old Master Bai understood that Old Master Shen did not want Shen Ruojing to feel guilty.

Everyone didn’t want to push everything onto Shen Ruojing’s shoulders and make her feel a lot ofpsychological pressure.

After all, it wasn’t her fault that she didn’t marry into Country A. It was the Queen who was too forceful.

Old Master Bai also instructed Matriarch Bai, “Don’t tell Miss Shen about this for now.”

Matriarch Bai sighed. “You are all so kind to Miss Shen, and Shanshan thinks the same.”

Old Master Bai thought of Shen Ruojing’s character and said, “This is all the good karma she hasaccumulated over time.”

But at that moment, a housekeeper suddenly rushed in. “Master, Matriarch, something bad happened!Madam Shen Wanying is back at the Shen Manor. She said she wants to question Miss Shen Ruojingand see how she messed up the Shen family! She even said she will tell her that Chu Cimo, thesecond young master of the Chu family, is going to have his legs broken by Valor Gate because of her!”
