?Chapter 435: 198 The Chu family was wronged, Yang Chengning’s intentions_1 Chapter 435: 198 The Chu family was wronged, Yang Chengning’s intentions_1 “I’m not entirely clear on the specifics either,” Long Xuanmo said gravely, “On the 20th of July when I was five years old, Father took Sun Chuanmao, disguised in plain clothes, to Huangjue Temple. Out of curiosity, I quietly followed them and saw Father offering sacrifices at a grave without a name on the rear mountain;
From the few words I overheard between Father and Sun Chuanmao, I learned that the grave entombed the bones of Chu Wenzhong and his three sons. I also discovered that Chu Wenzhong’s death was a forced choice, and that the so-called evidence of treason was actually fabricated by Chu Wenzhong himself;
To honor Chu Wenzhong’s loyal heart, Father had no choice but to order his execution by beheading for public display, and implicated his Nine Clans. Since then, every year on the 20th of July, Father would go to the back of Huangjue Temple to worship Chu Wenzhong and his three sons;
I have secretly examined the records, and the information on Chu Wenzhong was almost superficially noted. I’ve also sought out information in secret but never found anything valuable. It’s likely that no one besides Father knows the truth, and since Father has never vindicated him, it suggests the matter is very complex.”

Yang Mengchen furrowed her brows. What kind of matter could have been so grave that Chu Wenzhong willingly went to his death, and even implicated his family members?

“How was Chu Wenzhong known to conduct himself?”

“To my knowledge, he was known to be upright and absolutely loyal. At the age of sixteen, he was invincible on the battlefield and never suffered defeat. By twenty-two, he had become the Great General Huaihua.”
