Chapter 8 Ignorance of the rules

　　Chu Huo's choice was unimaginable to everyone, but the Second and Third Madame's side both revealed a hint of joy. 　　Regardless of what Chu Huo stood against the First Lady for, they were the ones who gained anyway, and that was enough. 　　Chu Kai whispered viciously to Chu Huo beside him, ''Chu Huo! Do you actually know what you're saying? I'll give you another chance, do you dare to say it again?" 　　From the time Chu Huo came in until now, Chu Kai had never looked at Chu Huo squarely, and now the only time he looked at Chu Huo squarely was because Chu Huo stood against him, and his attitude was just as condescending as when he was facing the previous Chu Huo. 　　Chu Huo glanced at him and said in a loud voice, ''What do you mean by that, big brother? Is it still wrong for me to listen to Lord Father's words? Big brother you're not even the head of the family yet, and you're so broad in your control, when you really become the head of my Chu family, is it true that these several younger brothers of ours are going to be driven out of the Chu family by you to beg for food?" 　　"You ......!" 　　Chu Kai was directly exasperated to the point that he stood up with a peng, but Chu Zongguang's countenance was suddenly sunken, and he coldly hummed, "Sit down! Look at what you have become, there is still a little bit of the majesty of being a big brother? Don't forget, I'm still alive! What the Chu Family is electing now is also not the family head, but the family head heir!" 　　Although Chu Zongguang was too lazy to bother with the affairs of the Chu Family, and was preoccupied with his seclusion, he also had a bottom line, and as Chu Kai was so overstepping, he certainly couldn't just sit back and watch. 　　Chu Kai sat down resentfully, and the Chu Family's First Lady also said nothing with an iron face. 　　Chu Zongguang coughed and said, "Alright, this matter is settled, no one is allowed to argue anymore." 　　However, right at this moment, Chu Huo was the one who suddenly stood up and said, "Lord Father, child still has something to say." 　　Chu Zongguang frowned, "What else do you have to say?" 　　Chu Huo faintly said, "Big brother and the others all hold a portion of the family business in their hands, but what do I have in my hands? Since Lord Father has set the rules for this family head heir, then you can't favor one over the other, can you?" 　　The moment these words came out, other than Chu Zongguang, the faces of everyone present changed a little, Chu Huo's meaning was obvious, he wanted a portion of the family business, and he also wanted to compete for the position of this family head heir! 　　Only then did the second madam understand why Chu Huo was on their side, to be precise the current Chu Huo should be on his side. 　　Chu Kai stared Chu Huo dead in the face, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. 　　Just this trash also wanted to compete for the position of family head heir? Chu Huo's threat to him wasn't even as good as that old fourth Chu Wound who was only in his teens. 　　At this time, a middle-aged man standing at the back suddenly said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "Isn't the second prince holding the Nanshan Mining Area in his hand, what more business do you need?" 　　This person was the Chu Family's grand butler, surnamed Liu, who was the clan brother of the first lady. 　　Chu family housekeeper and steward is two positions, steward is mainly responsible for some of the Chu family's business and industry, while the steward is only responsible for the management of some of the Chu family's internal personnel, and the Chu family is relatively close to several housekeepers are a few Mrs.'s relatives, so even if you do not know how to do martial arts can be served. 　　As soon as this Liu Butler spoke, everyone looked at him, everyone knew that Liu Butler was targeting Chu Huo, who made Chu Huo stand opposite of the Grand Madame just now and sing against him? 　　Although that south mountain mining area is also considered as Chu family's business, but the mining area is so big, even more capable people can't change the second one, guarding that south mountain mining area as a business is basically no different from giving up the family head heir. 　　Right at this moment, Chu Huo stood up and suddenly said to Official Liu, "Butler Liu, come here for a moment, I have something to say to you." 　　That Official Liu was stunned, but he still walked over, muttering under his breath, "What is it that Second Prince says directly, are you still afraid that I won't be able to hear it from far away?" 　　However, when he had just walked over to Chu Huo, Chu Huo suddenly struck out without any warning and punched Butler Liu's abdomen, the powerful force instantly caused Butler Liu to spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground covering his stomach. 　　This wasn't over, Chu Huo expressionlessly kicked that Official Liu, instantly that Official Liu had already covered his head in blood, letting out a miserable howl. 　　Now is the family deliberation, who did not expect Chu Huo would suddenly rise up and strike, when the crowd reacted, that Liu official family had already been stomped by Chu Huo and was dying, light out of breath but not in breath. 　　The Second Lady and the others looked at Chu Huo's expressionless appearance but they all couldn't help but shiver. 　　It wasn't just because of Chu Huo's ruthlessness, but because the Chu Huo at this moment simply seemed to be a different person, causing them to develop an extremely strong sense of discomfort. 　　"Bang!" 　　Chu Zongguang's furious palm fell, and the table beside him immediately split into pieces. 　　"Enough! Chu Huo! What do you want to do? Striking out in public, have you not put me as your father in your eyes?" 　　Seeing Chu Zongguang's anger, only then did Chu Huo stop his hand, a trace of a strange color vaguely flashing in his eyes. 　　It seemed like he really didn't seem to be pleasing to this cheap old father before. 　　Just now, when Chu Kai had been so unruly in front of him, he had only chided him, but now that it was his turn to teach a subordinate a lesson, Chu Zongguang was so angry that he directly slapped the table. 　　Chu Huo slowly and methodically arched his hand at Chu Zongguang and said: ''Father, please calm your anger, my son just didn't control himself for a moment. 　　When did it come to the master's turn to speak and for an inferior to interject at will? I haven't been back to the Chu Family for over a year, is the Chu Family now so unruly? 　　Forgive my child for speaking frankly, Lord Father, you're just too kind in your normal life, and that's why these subordinates don't know the rules anymore." 　　Chu Huo coldly glanced at the Liu Butler at his feet and said, "If this kind of goods were to be placed in the South Mountain Mining Area side, it would have already let me throw them out to light the lanterns of heaven, Lord Father is kind, but I, Chu Huo, am not that good at talking." 　　Chu Huo explained while holding up Chu Zongguang for a few sentences without a trace, which made Chu Zongguang's anger subside for the most part. 　　Although that Liu Butler was a relative of the First Lady, but he was after all just an inferior, could he still make his own son go to make amends for an inferior? Although this was only one of his least favorite sons. 　　Moreover, he was always in seclusion, the things inside the family were indeed seldom cared about, which made these subordinates become a bit unlikeable. 　　Chu Zongguang casually waved his hand and said, "Forget it, remember next time, this is the Chu Family, not the Nanshan Mining Area, if there's anything you can say properly, you'll be punished for three months of monthly money to go to Butler Liu to recuperate from his injuries." 　　Chu Huo immediately arched his hand and said, "Child obeys the order, but Lord Father, what exactly should I do about what I said before? I can't really keep a Nanshan mining area as a business, right? Otherwise what is the point of this family head heir calling me here?" 　　Chu Zongguang frowned, although he had never thought of passing the family headship to this son that he had never really liked or valued, but in front of so many people, he couldn't go too far. 　　Right at this moment, the eldest madam spoke up in dissatisfaction, ''Master, let's just let this matter go? Chu Huo committing a murder in public is simply not putting you in his eyes!" 　　Hearing the First Lady speak, Chu Zongguang's face instantly became a bit gloomy as he coldly grunted, "What else do you want me to do? Have him go and pay for Butler Liu's life? I said that this matter will be left at that. From today onwards, one of my Chu Family's merchant caravans traveling to the Yan Kingdom will be given to Chu Huo to take charge of, right now the caravan should be on its way back, when the caravan returns to the Chu Family, you'll be the one to take over." 　　Chu Huo bowed to Chu Zongguang and said with a smile, "Many thanks, Lord Father." 　　When he got up, Chu Huo also saw the big madam and Chu Kai's iron-clad faces, Chu Huo didn't care, this mother and son pair of fools. 　　That big madam was from a big clan, but she was somewhat unable to carry herself. 　　This is Tongzhou Prefecture, it is the Chu family, not her former family, and to confront Chu Zongguang, this will only make Chu Zongguang more and more disgusted with her. 　　There was also that Chu Kai, his age was seven, eight years older than Chu Huo, such a big advantage didn't let him become the heir to the family head early, and now he even had to fight with his own several younger brothers again, it was simply a waste. 　　Chu Zongguang waved his hand and said, "Alright, things have been finalized, all disperse." 　　With Chu Zongguang's departure, all the people also left the council hall, but before leaving they all looked at Chu Huo with strange gazes. 　　Especially the second madam's mother and son, before their biggest enemy was the eldest madam and Chu Kai, they didn't expect that this Chu Huo had changed so much within a year, and had also developed such great ambitions. 　　After leaving the council hall, the second madam and Chu Sheng returned to their room, Chu Huan couldn't help but say: ''Mother, didn't you all arrange for people to prepare to do away with that Chu Huo? How come he's still alive and back now?" 　　The second madam's face was gloomy: "I miscalculated, who would have thought that after spending a year in that South Mountain Mining Area, this Chu Huo would have changed so much, if I had known that, I should have persuaded the master to relegate him to another place in the first place. 　　That south mountain mining area are some criminals, although the environment is harsh, but it is also enough to exercise people, that Chu Xiu stayed there for a year, simply as if it was a new person. 　　But Sheng'er you don't need to worry, just look at that Chu Huo's performance today, he dared to strike in front of the master, he is simply uninvited and crazy to the extreme! 　　He himself is not liked by the master, now even more so, the Chu family, will not choose a crazy person as the heir to the head of the family. 　　So you don't have to worry, among your brothers, Chu Kai is ambitious and arrogant. Chu Huo is crazy and not liked by the master. 　　That Chu Hurts is only in his teens and is too young, although he is most liked by the old master, he is not a threat to you at all, as long as you become the heir to the family head, are you still afraid that you won't be able to suppress him?" 　　Chu Sheng nodded, a trace of coldness appeared in his eyes, in his opinion, this Chu family is also the only one who is worthy of being this future family head, that guy Chu Kai besides being born a few years earlier than him, which point can be stronger than him? 　　"By the way Mother, Father gave Chu Huo a merchant team today, if I remember correctly, the several stewards within that merchant team seem to be your people, right Mother? Find a chance to trip up that Chu Huo!" 　　A trace of coldness appeared on the second madam's face as she said, "Don't worry, Mother had spent a large sum of money to enlist the stewards within that merchant fleet, even if Chu Huo got the merchant fleet, I guarantee that he wouldn't be able to command a single person!"
