If Ji Dunnian were even slightly smarter, he wouldn't have stepped forward to sever ties with the Qin family at this time. Everyone in Liangjing knows that the matriarch of the Qin family is his own aunt, the Grand Princess of Ji Kingdom, and the relative who raised him.

Such an ungrateful and treacherous act, even if it allows him to escape unscathed, will only lead to his downfall.

Which of those ministers in the court wasn't shrewd and capable? Who would be willing to support such a heartless and treacherous prince?

After reading the letter, Qin Su forced a smile onto his thin, cold lips. He had long suspected that Ji Dunnian was mentally unstable, and his assessment proved to be correct. Everyone was pushing the Qin family down when they were down, but he was the only one who couldn't be pushed down.

In doing so, he had essentially pushed himself into a desperate situation.

"Give the order to have the people left behind in Liangjing on high alert. Also, tell Mother that Father's injuries are almost healed and he'll be able to return home in a few days." They'll have to see if they have the ability to bring the Qin family down.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will personally deliver the message." Wu Feng nodded. Under the Emperor's nose, the Qin family's situation was very dangerous. Even if the King didn't take action personally, it wasn't impossible for those aristocratic families to curry favor with the Emperor and take the opportunity to kick him while he was down.

Therefore, at this time, what we really need to guard against are those petty people.

"Instruct the hidden guards in the mansion to kill any who try to take advantage of the situation."

"yes."

After issuing a series of instructions, Qin Su pursed his lips, his eyes filled with overwhelming anger.

Although the ancestors of the Qin family sought refuge in the State of Ji, they have also contributed greatly to the expansion of Ji's territory and the conquest of all directions over the years. The Qin family deserves much credit for the current state of Ji.

That is why the former king, grateful for the Qin family's contributions, married his beloved eldest princess to his father.

As the ancients said, nothing lasts forever, and nothing lasts forever.

It's really fitting to apply this to the Qin family now.

Now, the Qin family has become so feared that the ruler wants to destroy them.

Thinking of this, Qin Su suddenly found it amusing. Ji Dunnian and the king were indeed father and son, both of them the type to kick away the ladder after crossing the river.

Jing Lei shuddered when he saw the young master's sudden smile.

"Young Master..." He laughed angrily, realizing he had angered the young master.

"Go do your work," Qin Su waved his hand, stood up, and walked towards his father's room where he was recuperating.

...Next, they will have to face the challenges head-on.

No matter how the Qin family fought against the imperial power, they couldn't stop Mo Lan and her servant from going shopping.

After getting rid of Tingyu, the two headed towards the main street, where inns were plentiful and as long as they had money, they wouldn't have trouble finding a place to stay.

When Mo Lan passed by the Lion King Escort Agency, she saw several carriages parked at the entrance, and people were loading things onto them.

Judging from their worried faces, the whole family must have moved away.

Not far from the entrance of the security escort agency, there was a grand chair. A servant with a bamboo skewer in his mouth lay sprawled on it, legs crossed, occasionally rolling his eyes and scolding.

"I urge you to hurry up and move everything out cleanly. My young master has already acquired this shop, and the later renovations will definitely be gilded and inlaid with silver. You poor scumbags can't afford to offend our young master's eyes."

Mo Lan looked at the servant who was abusing his power, shook her head speechlessly, and once again felt worried about the security of Ye County.

Two days of unpleasant experiences suddenly sparked her strong interest in the princess of Ye County.
