A year ago, the Shen family promised that as long as the young master or young lady of the Shen family was found, they would be rewarded handsomely.

If it were anyone else, just ten thousand taels of gold would be enough, but this person happened to be Chu Jinghuai.

"Please explain clearly, Your Majesty."

Chu Jinghuai said in a deep voice: "Old sir, you should know what this king wants."

The old man's face became more solemn when he heard this. The Shen family could become the number one grain merchant in Daxia because they adhered to the principle of only doing business and not interfering in the affairs of the court. As long as they had money, anyone could buy the Shen family's grain.

"Your Highness, the Shen family has been engaged in business for generations and is not very familiar with the affairs of the court. I am afraid that I will fail to live up to your trust."

Chu Jinghuai sneered, "From the moment you stepped into my Su Palace, the Shen family has been tied to me."

It can only be a sharp sword in my hand and be used by me.

The Shen family arrived in Beijing yesterday, but he delayed meeting them until today just to give everyone a day to investigate.

The old man was struck by lightning when he heard this, and his face turned pale as paper. Their Shen family did not want to be involved in the power struggle.

"Is there no other way?" the old man said unwillingly.

Chu Jinghuai said calmly, "Yes, the Shen family can also pretend that nothing happened."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second he heard Chu Jinghuai say, "It's time for the Shen family to change its head."

The old man shuddered. The Shen family was not as peaceful as it seemed. They were brutally wiped out a year ago. If the old lady had not been at the Shen family, the Shen family would have changed hands.

The old lady is now old and has experienced the pain of losing her son. If she had not insisted on finding the young master, she would have followed him long ago.

The young master is still young.

The old man took a deep breath and said, "I understand. Your Majesty, please give me five days."

Chu Jinghuai smiled and said, "For the sake of these ten thousand taels of gold, I will give you five days."

After the old man left Prince Su's Mansion, he sighed heavily.

Looking at the banknotes in the brocade box, Chu Jinghuai was in a good mood. "Where's the princess?"

Ling Feng lowered his head and stammered, "Your Highness, that...just now the secret guard in charge of protecting the princess came to report that the princess...she went to Huayuefang."

"Huayuefang?" Chu Jinghuai's voice suddenly turned cold. "Tell me again, where did the princess go?"

Ling Feng swallowed hard and said again, "The princess...went to Huayuefang and said she was going to see Shi Qianmo."

Now, His Royal Highness Prince Su, who already had a cold face, suddenly became so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

He gritted his teeth, squeezing every word out between them. "Chen Jingxi, that damned woman! How dare she go behind my back and meet her adulterer!"

In anger, Chu Jinghuai slammed the table, and the tea set on the table shook and made a crisp sound.

He stood up, a suffocating anger surrounding him.

Seeing this, everyone lowered their heads and dared not breathe.

"Prepare the horses."

At this time, the secret guard rushed over, "Your Majesty, the princess is back!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Jinghuai strode towards Lixiangyuan. After arriving, he kicked the door open.

Chen Jingxi, who was changing clothes behind the screen, was startled by the sudden change. She walked out from behind the screen and saw Chu Jinghuai, "Prince, you are so violent. Do you know that you are very annoying?"

Chu Jinghuai ignored the princess's complaints and said, "Everyone, get out!"

The maids in the room were immediately frightened and turned pale. They all lowered their heads and retreated, not daring to stay for a moment.

Chen Jingxi looked at Chu Jinghuai's frosty face, and an inexplicable fear surged in her heart.

She had never seen Chu Jinghuai so angry before, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back in fear, her voice trembling slightly: "Your Highness, you...what's wrong with you? Are you possessed by a ghost? You look a little scary like this."

Chu Jinghuai pressed on step by step, his eyes like knives, "How dare you betray me!"

Chen Jingxi, however, looked bewildered and had no idea what Chu Jinghuai was talking about. The thought of being possessed by a ghost became stronger and stronger in her mind.

She looked around nervously, trying to find something to ward off evil spirits, but there was nothing in this dormitory except beautiful decorations.

In a state of panic, Chen Jingxi made Taoist hand gestures and muttered to himself, "Hurry up and obey the command, make a fortune and have great luck... Wrong, wrong!"

She quickly corrected her mistake, "Hurry up and obey the order, retreat, retreat!"

This scene made Chu Jinghuai feel both angry and amused. He had never seen such a ridiculous scene.

He stopped, frowned, and stared at Chen Jingxi, trying to find a clue from her eyes.

However, there was only fear and confusion in Chen Jingxi's eyes, without the slightest disguise.

Chu Jinghuai's heart softened and his anger subsided a little, but he still could not tolerate Chen Jingxi's "betrayal".

He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calmer and more dignified. "Princess, explain to me clearly who gave you the courage to go to Huayuefang to meet Shi Qianmo behind my back!"

Princess Su was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Your Majesty, how did you know?"

Chu Jinghuai looked at Chen Jingxi's reaction, feeling mixed emotions. He had expected her to make excuses and deny it, but he hadn't expected her to ask so directly.

How did he know? He was worried that she would encounter the same thing as last time, so he asked the secret guards to protect her in secret, but she actually ran to Huayuefang.

When Chu Jinghuai thought of this, he became even more angry.

He took a step forward, approaching Chen Jingxi, his tone filled with questioning and unwillingness: "Isn't this king good enough for you? Whatever you want, this king can give it to you."

Chen Jingxi: "Ah?"
