Chapter 13 The Ninth Prince Recovers from His Injury

They originally planned to return to Beijing after dealing with this series of matters.

But who would have thought that the Ninth Prince suddenly came to visit and said that he wanted to borrow the Pu Mansion to recuperate.

"Your Highness was assassinated in Lin'an. This is a serious matter. If those villains don't give up and come to kill us again..."

The prefect of Lin'an followed the Ninth Prince and kept muttering to himself.

He was a timid and cautious person, and was also afraid that something might happen to the prince in his territory and he would lose his head.

Who would have thought that the Ninth Prince was injured in an assassination attempt and insisted on going to Pu Mansion to recuperate!

No matter how wealthy the Pu family is, it is just a merchant family. How can it protect the prince?

Pu Qiongzhi and Pu Rongda were standing at the door waiting early in the morning.

"If something happens to the Ninth Prince in our house, let alone changing his family, he will immediately ascend to heaven."

Pu Rongda whispered to his daughter.

He is an old man, yet he has to serve such a prince.

That would be fine, but the key point is that the Ninth Prince is currently being assassinated. What bad luck has happened to their Pu family!

Pu Qiongzhi was quite calm, "The prefect is more anxious than us."

The Ninth Prince did this most likely to let the outside world know that he has a close relationship with the Pu family.

Nangong Hua couldn't be happy.

He originally thought that since his father-in-law hadn't been going out for a while, nothing would happen.

But who knew that Gongsun Huaili would come again!

Could it be that in his previous life, those assassins were targeting him?

It's just that Pu Rongda suffered a loss in silence...

If this is true, then the trouble will come again.

What’s even more hateful is that the Ninth Prince has evil intentions and is eyeing his wife!

Nangong Hua’s back teeth were almost broken.

"His Highness has arrived!"

Everyone saluted.

Everyone in Lin'an City wanted to see what the prince looked like.

Although there was a clear path, there was no deliberate avoidance of people.

With such a grand occasion, it is hard not to be lively.

"Please get up quickly, my lady. No need to be so polite." Gongsun Huaili's voice came out.

Everyone could hear the gentleness in his tone.

Prefect Gao Zhicheng stroked his mustache, pondering the meaning.

Pu Qiongzhi stood up and said, "Your Highness, the mansion has prepared a courtyard for you to recuperate."

"I'm sorry to bother you, my dear lady." Gongsun Huaili said.

He waved his hand and everyone stood up.

This is the right.

Pu Qiongzhi lowered her eyes and followed behind.

The Pu family's house is really small and a bit crowded compared to ordinary wealthy families.

If a prince moved in, there would be no place to display one's abilities.

Originally, Pu Rongda planned to clean up the yard where he lived, but then he felt it was inappropriate.

Fortunately, the courtyards in the mansion are not big, so there is not much difference.

"Your Highness, if you find anything missing, please tell someone to tell me." Pu Qiongzhi said.

Gongsun Huaili's injury was not actually serious. He just injured his leg and had difficulty moving.

"Thank you for your hard work, Qiongzhi. I'm sorry for the trouble you've caused me." He curled his lips, "I think everything is fine here."

"..." Pu Qiongzhi's smile was impeccable, "As long as Your Highness is satisfied."

This yard is the farthest one from hers in the mansion.

Then they won't have to see each other all the time, and she can breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the trip back to Beijing will have to be delayed.

After she left, she went to ask the doctor, "Is the Ninth Prince's injury serious?"

"In reply to Yiren, His Highness's injuries are not serious."

The doctor explained, "But the weather is so hot, it might not heal well...it's best to rest for a while."

Pu Qiongzhi frowned and asked, "How long do you think it would take to rest?"

"Although this injury isn't serious, Your Highness is precious, so you should recover before continuing your journey."

The doctor continued, "Around a month is ideal. We'll see how His Highness heals by then."

Pu Qiongzhi nodded and said, "If you need any medicinal herbs, just tell me."

Only after leaving the yard did Pu Qiongzhi's mouth smooth out.

A minor skin wound that needs a month to heal? They seemed to be joking with her.

What's more, why can't I take a carriage back for this minor injury?

He was determined to take over the Pu family, and he didn't even care about his business in the capital...

Pu Qiongzhi looked back at the servants coming and going in the yard, her eyes dark.

After all, the Ninth Prince still has too few cards in his hand.

Why is he so sure that the Pu family will be bound to him?

Pu Qiongzhi arranged for Sun Shisan and others to go to Beijing first.

"Thirteen, take Ding Fangfei and the storyteller to Beijing first."

"What about you, Young Master?" Sun Shisan was a little worried.

Pu Qiongzhi shook her head. "It's nothing serious. Zhai Lou happened to be out."

"I'll stay in Jiangnan and take charge of this season's fabrics."

"Chun Jing, take some people and send them to Beijing." Pu Qiongzhi ordered.

Chun Jing was about to say something when he caught her eye. Although she was a bit blunt, she still had some good judgment.

It seems that their lady had other errands for her to do, and the escort was just a side job.

Nangong Hua was a little unhappy when he saw her come back, "How long will he stay?"

"One month at most. The Beijing talent show is coming soon." Pu Qiongzhi calculated it well.

Nangong Hua's face was gloomy. "Is he unaware of his plan? He made such a big fuss just because he got hurt!"

"My lord, please be careful with your words. Walls have ears." Pu Qiongzhi glanced at him.

It doesn't matter whether the Ninth Prince's injury was caused by an assassin or he staged it himself.

What matters is who is more willing to take risks, her or him.

…

The Ninth Prince was at home, so naturally he had to be accompanied by Pu Qiongzhi, Pu Rongda and others for meals.

Of course, Uncle Nangong Hua is also among them.

"Where are the other people in the family?" Gongsun Huaili asked.

Pu Rongda and Pu Qiongzhi exchanged a glance and said, "Your Highness, everything is here."

"Ah..." Gongsun Huaili was stunned. He didn't expect it to be like this.

He had never paid attention to the affairs of the Pu family's inner residence, but he did not expect that the population was so sparse.

It is possible that this is why the Pu family handed over all business power to Pu Qiongzhi.

"Are there no collateral relatives in your family?" Although it was offensive, Gongsun Huaili still asked.

Pu Rongda said, "There are still some collateral relatives and related relatives, but they don't live together."

In fact, the fact is that Pu Qiongzhi cannot get along with the children from other branches.

When they were young, those children were just guests at home, and two of them offended Pu Qiongzhi.

The child arrived in the morning, and in the afternoon Pu Qiongzhi sent him to the human traffickers...

However, Pu Qiongzhi did not really intend to sell them, she was just trying to scare them.

After waiting for a cup of tea, she told their parents what happened.

Later, those children were afraid when they saw Pu Qiongzhi.

Pu Qiongzhi was only seven years old at the time, but she was already notorious among her relatives.

As they grow older, people of the same age also start to start their own businesses.

It is rare to find someone like Pu Qiongzhi who has the courage to make bold moves in business.

Even the elders have asserted that this child is so brave and careful that he is incomparable to ordinary people. He is a rare one among several generations and will accomplish great things.

As expected, the Pu family has undergone several changes over the years, each time becoming more prosperous than the last, all of which were the work of Pu Qiongzhi.

In the past two years, she has surpassed her peers and become the young master of the Pu family. No one in the Pu family is dissatisfied.
