Chen Mu Mu never expected that Chu Lin painstakingly searched for Lu Jinfeng and got him to recognize him as his ancestor. It wasn't to prolong the Chu Family's fire, nor was it for some kinship, it was for the medicine.
Using his own son as a guide would ensure that he would be able to live for a longer period of time.
This was such a sinister method. Even in her era, when crimes were common, no one had thought of such a ruthless method.
To live for himself, this Chu Lin was simply too cruel.
However, over ten years ago, he could deceive Mo Qin for the sake of the so called curse of his eldest son, giving birth to Lu Jinfeng, and then sending people to harm the Mo Family. Naturally, he would not put Lu Jinfeng, this son of his, in his heart.
Wait, did they send people to harm the Mo Clan?
Suddenly, Chen Mu Mu Mu's eyes narrowed as he thought of the routine that was commonly seen in novels and TV dramas.
"Lu Jinfeng, you have been in the North King Palace for a long time. Have you found out that North King Chu Lin did something to the Mo family and your mother back then?"
She didn't know why, but when she mentioned this matter, she had a faint feeling that Chu Lin might not be innocent.
They all said that it was Qiu Yuexin who did it, but as Chu Lin's consort, Mo Qin did not plan to stay in the North King Palace, nor did he have any intentions to use it to bind Chu Lin, not even his children — — Of course, this cursed child was also not worthy in Chu Lin's eyes.
Therefore, Mo Qin did not pose much of a threat to Qiu Yuexin.
No matter how small a woman's heart was, if she was in a high position, she would at least consider her situation.
After marrying Chu Lin, she was even the famous Consort of the North King. Would she be angry because of a North King that Chu Lin did not care about, and even have Mo Qin, who was cursed with a son?
If she was Qiu Yuexin, even if she resented Mo Qin being with her before, knowing Mo Qin's situation, she would definitely not make things difficult for him.
A woman whose feelings had been cheated, a man did not love her at all. Furthermore, he had given birth to a detested son of a curse. His life was over.
Everyone was lying to them, they were destroying their bones. The saliva of the masses was enough to spray Mo Qin to death, even if she did not die, how could she survive with such an illegitimate child?
The pressure he had to bear could be imagined. There was a method of harming others, one that didn't need to act personally to destroy them.
Mo Qin was simply unworthy of Qiu Yuexin to begin with, and furthermore, Lu Jinfeng was unworthy of it. A cursed eldest son, and even a short-lived ghost, what kind of threat could he possibly pose to her?
The only one who could pose a threat was North King Chu Lin.
It would have been good if Mo Qin and Lu Jinfeng had not been exposed, but if it was known, then his entire life's reputation would have been ruined.
Compared to the unimaginable Qiu Yuexin, Chu Lin had an even better motive.
"He's not innocent." Lu Jinfeng said in a deep voice, "I have yet to investigate the matter back then clearly, but I dare to say that Chu Lin is definitely not innocent."
It was just as she had predicted. However, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu was still curious, "Weren't you the one who hadn't investigated the matter back then?" How can you state that Chu Lin is not innocent? "
"What kind of good person would he be if he could deceive my mother's feelings and strangle me to death?" Lu Jinfeng chuckled, a cold glint flashing past his eyes.
"Besides, he lived for himself. He did everything he could to get me to recognize him as my ancestor and use me as a medicine. With my mother's huge threat, how could he let me go?"
Chen Mu was speechless.
The case back then was extremely mysterious. They did not know what had happened in the past, but the water in this North King Palace was really deep.
"What disease did Chu Lin get? Why did you have to be used as a medicinal catalyst? "
She had held back her curiosity to such an extent that it almost crushed her to death.
Humans were the most selfish creatures. For their own sake, they would sometimes get what they wanted regardless of the price.
In order to survive, there were many cases of people committing insanity.
However, these were all extremists. If they weren't forced into a corner, they wouldn't even touch these taboos.
Then she was curious, what kind of illness did Chu Lin have, and why did he need such a method to cure it?
"I don't know what the specific illness is, it's the root of the disease passed down in the Chu Clan." Lu Jinfeng chuckled, "If a curse really does exist, then the one being cursed is not the son of the Chu Family at all."
"Huh?" Chen Mu Mu was a little surprised, "If the eldest son wasn't cursed, then why would every generation of the Chu Clan die young?"
"What I'm saying is that it wasn't only the Chu Clan's children who were cursed." Lu Jinfeng smiled, his expression cold and with a hint of bloodlust, "The ones being cursed, are all the men of the Chu Family."
"Pfft." Chen Mu Mu couldn't hold back his laughter. "This curse is quite intelligent. It can't pass on men to women. It must have misunderstood you guys."
"It's not spiritual." Lu Jinfeng sighed, "Did you not realize that the Chu Family does not have any daughters?"
Chen Mu choked.
Although she did not investigate the Chu Clan, but the Chu Clan did not have a daughter, and only had two sons, she knew very well.
"Are you saying that the Chu Family's curse doesn't pass on men to women because the Chu Family doesn't have a daughter?"
Lu Jinfeng nodded.
"That's strange. The Chu family doesn't have any daughters, but they do have sons! If a son marries a wife, then isn't that a Chu family member?"
Lu Jinfeng's eyes flashed, and laughed lightly: "The family tree does admit it, but the people of the Chu Family, do not think that wife is a member of the family."
It wasn't a good idea to be cursed anyway.
However, "You said that the entire Chu Clan is cursed, what do you mean by that?"
"The men of the Chu family not only have problems with their eldest son, they also have problems with everyone. It's just that their eldest son was born first, so it attracted more attention." Lu Jinfeng's tone turned cold, "As everyone knows, when the Chu Family children were born, they were incomparably ugly. They had strange diseases on their bodies and did not have long to live, but they did not know that they were only slightly worse off than the second son."
"What was the curse of the second son?" Chen Mu Mu asked.
The eldest son's curse was so miserable, so shouldn't the second son's curse be any better?
However, every second son of the Chu Clan seemed to have lived a long time.
At least, she had never heard of anyone from the Chu Clan, other than her eldest son, who did not live long enough.
"The second son." Lu Jinfeng smiled slightly as his eyes flashed with ridicule and his tone turned cold. He said faintly, "There's nothing wrong with my second son, he lives like a normal person, but after 25 years of age, he will suddenly have a strange disease. With both of his heart and energy, his skin will fester and he will age early.
Chen Mu Mu was speechless.
This disease was really overbearing and strange. The way he died was interesting.
Some families have a history of inherited diseases, and the so-called genetic diseases have different effects in different families.
Some of them had a weak heart, some of them had anemia, some of them had albinism, and some of them had hidden cancers.
All kinds of genetic diseases were unique and different from one another.
The world was big and full of wonders.
Even though she had never experienced this kind of inherited disease, the Chu Clan definitely existed once they had it.
Chen Mu Mu Mu shook his head and said in a low voice, "So genetic diseases are the culprit. Based on ancient medical techniques, naturally, they cannot be treated. No wonder there were rumors of curses." Actually, there's no curse, it's just an ignorant person trying to scare himself. "
After Lu Jinfeng heard her words, he looked up at her in shock: "Does this mean you know what kind of illness the Chu Family is living with?"
"Don't look at me, I just roughly know." Chen Mu Mu waved her hand. "I can cure diseases like poisons. Don't ask me for a curse that resembles a genetic disease. I can't cure it."
It wasn't that her medical skills were insufficient, the ancient medical equipment was too limited, or the genetic disease was too widespread, it wasn't something that she could solve by herself.
Genetic disease is almost insoluble.
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many families that went bankrupt trying to cure the so-called genetic disease and couldn't escape their fate.
"I don't need your treatment. I'm just asking." The corner of Lu Jinfeng's mouth raised as he laughed, "Anyway, I'm only sixteen, and I'm still far from being able to bear the pain."
Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at him sleepily, suddenly feeling that his throat was a little dry and his heart was aching.
She seemed to have forgotten that Lu Jinfeng was also a member of the Chu Family.
The Chu Family had their own genetic resources, so of course Lu Jinfeng did too.
He pretended to be unconcerned and comforted her, "It's alright, you are the eldest son. You should have been dead for a long time. The heavens have not killed you yet. You will not continue to torture yourself." "After all, there is a saying, 'If one can survive a great disaster, one will definitely be blessed.'"
Lu Jinfeng's eyes lit up like a lit candle, he looked straight at her, his gaze was as vast as the starry sky, his beauty was suffocating.
He opened his mouth to say something, but suppressed it with all his might.
Chen Mu Mu blinked his eyes in bewilderment.
Her words were not poisonous, and should not have hurt anyone, what was going on with Lu Jinfeng's reaction? Has he gone mad from the provocation?
She didn't know if Lu Jinfeng was crazy or not, but looking at it now, Lu Jinfeng's mood was extremely good.
Chen Mu Mu was a little speechless and poked him, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Lu Jinfeng smiled, he suddenly extended his hand and scratched her nose, "I'm very happy that you're worried about me."
However, she was worried that this life-threatening matter had no use. She didn't want to extend his lifespan, so what was there to be happy about.
Wait, that curse said the Chu Clan's people would have abnormal conditions and strange diseases after they turned 25. How could the ancestors of the Chu Clan live that long? North King Chu Lin was still alive?
Chen Mu looked at Lu Jinfeng, and said bluntly: "Since the curse exists, Chu Lin should be dead now, why is he still alive?"
"The curse is not unsolvable." Lu Jinfeng laughed, "You should have guessed it already, there are drugs that can cure it."
"Do you want to use your loved ones' blood to apply the medicine?" Chen Mu Mu looked at the rotten flesh on Lu Jinfeng's arm, and his heart shivered.
"That's right, give your blood relatives special tonics, and then use your blood as a drug to slow down their aging and maintain the same condition as normal people." Lu Jinfeng scoffed, "So Chu Lin came to me because of my blood."
The son of the Chu Clan only existed to prolong the lives of his elders.
If Chu Xuran did not die due to an accident, Chu Lin would definitely not have tried to find Lu Jinfeng, his son, in a hurry.
No wonder Lin Mo said that Chu Lin was injured. He might not live past a few months.
Now that Lu Jinfeng is back, he should be able to live, right?
Thinking about that, Chen Mu Mu Mu's voice became cold, "Then let me ask you, is Chu Xuran's body the same as yours, the wounds will gradually rot after ingesting the medicine?"
If that was the case, how was Chu Xuran supposed to seduce women? Did she remember that Chu Xuran was a wealthy benefactor who liked to hang around brothels?
