"By the way, Aunt Feng, we haven't gone shopping for a long time. The weather is perfect today, why not go out for a walk?"
"Of course. I'm going to change now!"
"Okay. I'll wait for Aunt Feng below." Chu Chen said obediently.
Feng Ruyun happily went upstairs to change clothes. After a while, Huo Ling came downstairs. When he saw Chu Chen, he was startled: "Why are you here? Do you want to see me for anything?"
"No, I'm here to play with Aunt Feng."
Chu Chen smiled and said, "By the way, I want to ask her about my mother."
Huo Ling: "?"
Why did Chu Chen suddenly ask this?
Before he could think about it carefully, he heard Chu Chen say: "By the way, next time the person named Zicheng asks you about the Chu family, you must wait for my reply before replying to him."
Huo Ling nodded: "Okay."
Not long after, Feng Ruyun came downstairs.
Chu Chen took Feng Ruyun out happily.
Chu Chen had always been very good at coaxing people. After taking Feng Ruyun to the shopping mall, he coaxed Feng Ruyun to grin from ear to ear. When he asked about Jian Dai, it was only to be expected.
"Your mother...well, I think she was a fool, if not, how could she fall in love with Chu Weiyun? Back then, the Jian family was was a well-known family in Wangcheng. The reason why they left Wangcheng was because they wanted to move to the imperial capital. This is a supreme honor, but your mother had been attracted by Chu Weiyun’s sweet speech and honeyed words, and she was unwilling to leave. There was a big fuss at that time, and she even committed suicide... so they severed relationship."
[甜言蜜语 tián yán mì yǔ: lit. sweet speech and honeyed words (idiom); fig. hypocritical flattery]
The imperial capital?
Could it be that Ji Sheng's investigation of the Chu family has something to do with Jian Dai?
But Jian Dai actually committed suicide for Chu Weiyun, and finally severed relationship with the Jian family?
Chu Chen was a little surprised.
Speaking of what happened back then, Feng Ruyun's tone was full of sighs.
She basically said whatever came to her mind, so her words were relatively illogical: "You also know that the star networks now basically only serve a fixed range of galaxies. The Jian family left Wangcheng and went to the imperial capital. It's too far away from Wangcheng. Basically, once they leave, it will be difficult to contact them again, unless one of them goes to the other galaxy. By the way, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, no one in Wangcheng knew that the Jian family had gone to the imperial capital. I'm telling you this, but don't tell anyone else. "
Chu Chen nodded.
Chu Chen knew about the Star Network.
The current interstellar society includes many galaxies. Some galaxies are too far apart and the technology is not yet available, so the star networks are not interconnected.
The star network that the people in Wangcheng can use now. only covers a few nearby galaxies.
Some places like Imperial Capital use a completely different local area network, otherwise trivial matters like the Chu family or Wen Jiayu wouldn't occupy the front page of the Star Network.
As for the unnecessary trouble Feng Ruyun said, Chu Chen understood it based on what Li Fen said before.
The Jian family did this to protect Jian Dai.
For a mere h-310 galaxy, it would take half a month to travel to Wangcheng, let alone the imperial capital.
If Jian Dai's identity was exposed, and the people who had been offended by the Jian family came to trouble Jian Dai, if those people were a group of desperadoes, then the Jian family had no way to protect her in time. Moreover, there was still Jian Dai's suicidal behavior, so in anger, they simply severed relationship and gave Jian Dai 300 million.
300 million, in the era before Chu Chen was born, it was equivalent to more than half of the Jian family's wealth.
Very generous.
It could be seen from the fact that Chu Weiyun relied on this money to directly enter the upper class society in Wangcheng.
Chu Chen fell into deep thought.
However, after so many years of no contact, someone suddenly came to investigate the Chu family...
Why?
Because the old man was getting older and finally wanted to repair this family relationship?
Chu Chen was expressionless.
Feng Ruyun continued: "Your mother was stubborn, and your grandfather was even more stubborn than her. Anyway, the things that happened back then were actually quite complicated. Although I'm your mother's friend, I'm still an outsider, what exactly happened back then, I don't know very well. But I guess, your grandfather doesn’t even know that something happened to your mother, otherwise he would never spare Chu Weiyun. "
Chu Chen: "..."
It seems that the Jian family has been deliberately hiding information about themselves since they were still in Wangcheng.
"Aunt Feng, did the Jian family know anyone with surname Ji back then?"
"Ji?"
Feng Ruyun was stunned for a moment, then she thought for a moment, "I don't know, I have no impression."
Chu Chen nodded: "I understand."
After a day of shopping, Chu Chen's legs were a little sore.
When the two of them parted, Feng Ruyun still had some unfinished thoughts, she said, "Next time when Xiao Chen is free, come and go shopping with me. When I get back, I will read the documents you sent me and put them on the star network."
"OK."
Chu Chen agreed immediately.
When Chu Chen returned home, he saw Li Fen sitting on the sofa working. He leaned over and rested his head on Li Fen's shoulder.
What Feng Ruyun said, and combined with what Li Fen told him before, actually contained a lot of information.
Chu Chen sorted it out in his mind.
…
Imperial capital.
After Ji Sheng finished processing the report sent by the military department, he got up and rushed home.
On the way, Ji Sheng closed his eyes and rested his mind. Thinking of the scene when he met the leader of Fenyan legion today, he frowned slightly.
As soon as he arrived home, Jian Yun came forward and asked, "Sheng Sheng, about the matter I told you before, how is it?"
Ji Sheng: "Yeah, I have already started to investigate it."
"That's good."
"By the way, Aunt Feng, we haven't gone shopping for a long time. The weather is perfect today, why not go out for a walk?"
"Of course. I'm going to change now!"
"Okay. I'll wait for Aunt Feng below." Chu Chen said obediently.
