Gu Qing had indeed thought about this, but she believed that Chen Zhizhou would take care of it for her.

She had no choice.

"You idiot! The Chen family prospers and suffers together. You're ruining your son's future!"

Hearing this, there was some hesitation on Mrs. Lu's face.

She has been planning for her son all her life, so it is impossible for her not to care about this.

Gu Qing didn't want to let things get to a dead end, so he continued, "You'd better think it over carefully. If the third house knew about this, would you still be able to live a peaceful life?"

"It would be best if my eldest wife helps you suppress this matter, and you exchange it for the ten thousand taels of silver, and from now on, we are even in no debt."

Gu Qing repeated what he had just said word for word, "Ms. Lu, you'd better think it over carefully."

After a moment's silence, Mrs. Lu suddenly smiled and said, "Gu Qing, don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

"You're afraid that I'll get into trouble, and then the eldest wife will be in trouble too."

A trace of anger flashed across Gu Qing's face, and he couldn't help but angrily said, "Didn't you guys have this plan from the beginning? The glory of the Chen family is ruined by parasites like you!"

She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, the Chen family was impeached for bribery.

The second wife hurriedly divided the family property on the eve of the accident, and all the blame fell on the first wife, resulting in her father-in-law and mother-in-law being exiled and Chen Zhizhou dying a tragic death.

Mrs. Lu was a little frightened by her appearance. Now that things have developed to this point, it seems that Gu Qing's method is a compromise.

But in the future, the second house will be constrained by the first house because of this. How can she swallow this?

Gu Qing's anger also made Xuan Feng move his sword closer.

Lu felt a sharp pain in her neck. She was afraid of death after all, so she said immediately, "Let me go! I'll tell you."

"Xuanfeng, let her go."

Gu Qing was not worried that Mrs. Lu would escape. As a woman living in a mansion, she could not escape from the hands of a top-notch secret guard like Xuanfeng.

Xuanfeng put down his sword and took two steps back to the door.

Mrs. Lu straightened her clothes and sat back in the chair. She looked calm, but her slightly trembling hands revealed her nervousness.

"Gu Qing, you are so courageous and calculating!"

The eldest wife certainly wouldn't dare to make this matter public.

Once more people know about it, she will be gossiped about in the future. When this matter is over, she will definitely make a big fuss in front of everyone!

"I stuffed the silver into the box in the third room."

When Mrs. Lu said this, Gu Qing suddenly sneered and said, "Second Aunt said I was calculating, but am I not the same?"

"I think Second Aunt is leaving herself a way out. If the truth comes out, she will put the blame on Third Aunt."

"Shadow Red."

As Gu Qing spoke, a girl dressed as a maid suddenly appeared.

While Mrs. Lu was surprised, she had already received Gu Qing's order and then disappeared in the house in an instant.

Lu's heart grew colder, and at this moment she realized that she had underestimated Gu Qing's strength.

There are so many powerful people around her.

Seeing the surprise in her eyes, Gu Qing didn't say anything more, as if he was waiting for a result.

at the same time.

Chen Zhizhou and Li Xiangji took Zhang Bin's body and entered the palace through a side door.

Your Highness, a carriage stopped at the same time.

Li Xiangsheng got off the carriage and looked at the two of them with a look of scrutiny in his eyes: "What a coincidence, Third Brother."

Chen Zhizhou's eyes darkened slightly, and he was the first to nod and salute, saying, "Fifth Prince."

"Master Chen, please don't be polite." Li Xiangsheng deliberately went to help him up, but he lowered his voice and said, "I wonder how Gu Qing is doing now?"

"I heard that she was injured in the abdomen by Zhang Bin and is recuperating at the mansion? No wonder I was wondering why I hadn't seen her at the banquets in the capital these days."

Chen Zhizhou's lips curled slightly: "Madam was indeed ill, but she is feeling much better now."

"Really? Then let's go and have a look at the Japanese prince instead."

Li Xiangsheng's deliberate provocation made Chen Zhizhou quite unhappy.

But he hid it very well, and the smile on his lips became more and more intense. "That's not necessary. A fortune teller recently read my wife's fortune."

"Don't see outsiders, for fear of attracting unclean things."

The implication is that Li Xiangsheng is not clean and has soiled the Chen family's reputation.

Li Xiangsheng didn't have Chen Zhizhou's Chen Mansion, and his expression immediately turned ugly: "Chen Zhizhou, are you mocking me?"

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince is joking."

Li Xiangji stepped forward to ease the atmosphere, "Fifth brother, the emperor has summoned you. We must not delay. Let's talk about it later."

As he spoke, he went up to the main hall with Chen Zhizhou.

Li Xiangsheng looked at their backs, his eyes darkening a little. He turned his head and asked the guard behind him, "Have they been sent?"

"Your Highness, the 10,000 taels of silver must be in the Chen Mansion. I'm afraid that the fool Lu wanted to take advantage of the situation and embezzle some of the money, which happened to give us a handle."

"While they are still here, hurry up and find this prince ten thousand taels of silver. I will report Chen Zhizhou to you later!" Li Xiangsheng sneered twice and followed him into the hall.

Inside the hall, the smoke of ambergris lingered, making the already solemn hall even more heavy and solemn.

On the dragon throne.

The emperor was dressed in bright yellow court robes, and the pattern of a soaring dragon in the sea on his robe fully demonstrated the majesty of the monarch.

Li Xiangji and Chen Zhizhou bowed as they entered the hall.

"Your Highness, I greet you, Father."

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."

The emperor's deep eyes carried the majesty and nobility of an emperor. "Everyone, stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two bowed their heads slightly.

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the fifth prince entered the palace and said, "Your Highness, I greet you, Father."
