Chapter 97: He said a few words to humiliate her

Prince An became extremely annoyed upon hearing this, with murderous intent in his eyes surging out in waves like a surging tide. He pointed at Madam Bai, his dark eyes cold and gloomy.

"It's anyone's honor if she wants to deceive them, understand? Stupid woman!"

Admiral Bai suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

He probably guessed what was going on, turned around and glared at her. Madam Liu had bad intentions, and she had promised before that she would never have anything to do with Madam Liu again, so why was she getting involved with her again?

Prince An didn't kill her with a single blow, it was all because of the good deeds done by her ancestors.

Pop.

After giving Mrs. Bai a heavy slap on the face, Admiral Bai bowed to Prince An.

"Prince, this is my wife's fault. My wife and I would like to apologize to you. How about we just let it go?"

"never mind?"

Prince An chuckled.

Anything.

Only when he says it's over can it be over.

other people?

She looked down upon Admiral Bai, who was angry but did not dare to say anything. He just pressed Mrs. Bai to answer.

"What did you say?"

Mrs. Bai covered her swollen, painful, and numb face with her hands. Her red lips trembled with fear, and as tears fell, she shook her head in panic.

"Mrs. Song said Chu Jiuning would donate the most money, and then she would be eligible to burn the first incense. She said she would take me with her, and then I... then..."

Admiral Bai was so angry that his chest felt blocked. The first incense was important, but what about his own ability?

Think about it again.

This method cannot be used either.

If Chu Jiuning didn't have some ability, could she have caused chaos in the Song Mansion?

Mrs. Bai's voice became weaker and weaker, and her crying became more and more urgent.

"I just said a few words to humiliate Chu Jiuning, but I didn't do anything else."

Prince An laughed.

"Yes, Chu Jiuning donated hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and you thought it was too little. You wrote a mere thousand taels, and your tail is almost up to the sky."

Admiral Bai was stunned.

His face turned darker.

He remembered that when she left the house, she clearly said that she would write five thousand taels, so why did it become one thousand taels when they arrived at the temple?

"What about the other four thousand taels?"

He gritted his teeth and questioned Mrs. Bai.

Mrs. Bai's eyes were filled with panic for a moment, but after a while she spoke with confidence.

"My younger brother and his family just had a baby, and they also wanted to add some money for incense offerings, so I gave him four thousand taels of silver."

Prince An laughed even harder.

"He took your four thousand taels and wrote off five hundred. I'm afraid the remaining three thousand and five hundred was sent to Tianxiang Tower."

Mrs. Bai glared at him.

"Prince, the money is his once given to him. He can spend it however he wants. I have no objection."

"I have a problem."

Admiral Bai felt like he was about to explode. He was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped him again. He helped, but he still had the audacity to contradict Prince An. Didn't he know what kind of person he was?

So many years.

She tried every possible way to get money from the mansion, and sometimes even withheld the servants' wages, just to support her younger brother from her mother's family. He was too busy and lived outside most of the time. By the time he found out, it was a long time ago.

But later on, she became more and more outrageous. Even when her brother took a fancy to a servant, she gave him away without blinking an eye. Later, the servant's mother committed suicide. She could no longer hide it and panicked, so she told him.

He is still enduring.

She thought that life would pass quickly, but she was so blind as to offend Prince An.

He is the one who will avenge himself.

"You've been married for so many years, and you know how much money you secretly gave to your parents and how many people you gave to them."

Several of them committed suicide in the mansion because of her.

Thinking of this, Admiral Bai felt a pang of pain in his heart. He flicked his long sleeves and said to Prince An.

"Prince, do as you wish. If you need to collect the body, I will come back tomorrow."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Prince An's eyes.

but.

Anyway, the Bai family would be raided and their property would be wiped out soon, so he was too lazy to meddle in other people's business. He turned around and got on the carriage, saying coldly.

"Master Bai, it would be best if you could go back and check how many of the things in your house are genuine. I'm afraid they've replaced most of them over the years. And what about Madam Bai, how many bribes and shameful things has she taken behind your back?"

Admiral Bai turned around to look at his wife as if he was struck by lightning.

When Mrs. Bai saw that the matter was exposed, she simply stopped pretending and angrily swung her long sleeves.

"Isn't that something that can be done about it? If you had more money, I wouldn't have to be so embarrassed. Besides, I didn't do anything. I just helped others a few times."

"That's right."

The curtain was drawn.

Prince An gave a kind reminder.

"Because of this incident, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is furious, and I'm afraid he's secretly investigating you right now."

Admiral Bai's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.

If he found out that Mrs. Bai had accepted bribes, wouldn't that mean...

This bitch, bitch.

Admiral Bai's eyes were wide open and his fists were clenched. He really couldn't bear it anymore.

Bang.

A punch and a palm made her roll out, and unfortunately she rolled under Prince An's carriage. Prince An leaned back and did not call for a stop, so the wheels of the carriage rolled over her.

The screams were shrill.

I could faintly hear the sound of bones cracking.

…

Qingsong hid in the darkness, watching the scene coldly. Seeing Prince An walking away in an extremely arrogant manner, he hurriedly and quietly jumped on his horse, turned around and galloped out of the capital and returned to the Zen temple.

At that time.

Chu Jiuning was leaning on a cushion, reading a book by the oil lamp. Seeing Qingsong sweating profusely, he hurriedly asked Amber to bring him some water to wash his face, and then he drank a large bowl of water.

Take a few breaths.

Qingsong then told her in detail what he had seen.

"Does she have a grudge against Madam Bai?"

Amber asked.

Chu Jiuning shook his head. He didn’t live in the capital, so it wouldn’t be that serious.

It can't be.

Her expression changed slightly, and she stood up and paced back and forth.

Prince An is taking revenge for himself?

When this thought came into her mind, Chu Jiuning was a little bit unbelievable for a moment. She had always been the one who gave sunshine to others, but rarely picked up sparks from the roadside.

She was very grateful for such kindness.

But……

"Pick out some of the most valuable gifts and send them to Prince An. Is Song Jinhuai still in the inn?"

Qingsong shook his head.

"No, I guess he went up the mountain."

Chu Jiuning glanced at the time and put aside his troubled thoughts.

"We can't sleep now. The first incense is at midnight. We have to pack up and get ready to go out."

The first incense is burned in the open space outside the main hall, which can accommodate two to three thousand people. At this time, the outside should be heavily guarded and crowded with people.

Because they are the first incense.

There is a special passage, so there is no need to squeeze.

"Dress simply, avoid wearing elaborate jewelry, and wear comfortable walking shoes."

After some instructions.

Everyone got busy.

However.

Just as they were about to leave the courtyard, several monks guarding the door blocked their way and said with their hands clasped together.

"A distinguished guest has lost something and needs to search each room. Please stay here first."

Chu Jiuning subconsciously looked at the copper clock hanging on the wall.

The time is almost up.

Never set off again.

They might be late.

These monks looked unfamiliar, and there was no scent of sandalwood on their bodies. Their robes were all newly made.

so.

Someone planned to stop them from burning the first incense stick.

Turn your head.

Chu Jiuning said anxiously in a low voice.

"Go see if they're there."

Mingtang immediately turned around and ran towards the Duke's wife's meditation room, but found that it was empty. The Duke's wife and the others had already left.

Seeing Mingtang shaking his head, Chu Jiuning's face darkened.

so.

The wife of the Duke will take the necessary people in her name to be the first to burn incense.

In the Buddhist meeting held only once every ten years, the first incense is the most important. This year, there are two groups of first incense. One group is from the royal family, led by the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and Concubine Dai, and the other group is the wealthy Chu Jiuning, who can also bring two people, a group of three.

So this time, the first fragrance is not only important but also noble.

The person who burns the first incense stick will not only be admired by the world for the next year, but may also catch the eye of the Empress Dowager.

Think of this.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Chu Jiuning's eyes.

This is the first incense.

The Duke's wife must not be allowed to come up.

If the Empress Dowager agrees, and because they are the first to burn incense, their identities will most likely be accepted by the world.

"Which academy are you from?"

Chu Jiuning asked them in a cold voice, but the masters just bowed to her and stopped talking.

There are seven people in total.

Amber stepped forward and was about to pick up one each, but suddenly there was a noise from the big fruit tree that she had planted with her own hands. Everyone looked up and saw several sharp arrows aimed at their heads.

Everyone felt their scalps tingling, and Amber's eyes turned red with anger.

At this time.

Amber only then realized that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said was truly cold and true. It was not enough to just have strength. If the opponent attacked from a distance, it would be troublesome.

Fists clenched.

She thought.

If she gets out alive, she will definitely find Hongye and Shen Liuguang to learn from them.

The leading monk looked at Chu Jiuning's beautiful face and graceful figure, with fire burning in his eyes.

At this time.

Chu Jiuning was almost 100% certain that these people were probably not monks, but were just hired by the Duke's wife to pretend to be monks.

Frowning.

Chu Jiuning was a little anxious, surrounded by enemies and unable to move forward.

they.

How to get out?
