Wang Da couldn't hold back any longer; the veins on his neck bulged: "You dare!"
Chu Jinjin looked at him in surprise: "Why wouldn't I dare?"
What a joke.
That traitor, colluding with robbers, has harmed not only my father, but the entire Chu family.
If it weren't for the fact that burning bones to ashes would be of no use, she wouldn't mind digging up the grave.
Chu Yan wanted to ask more, but Chu Jinjin stopped him: "He's just a nobody, he probably doesn't know much."
After saying that, she raised her dagger and stabbed at Wang Da's throat.
Wang Da's hair nearly stood on end: "I'll talk!"
He had never seen such a ruthless woman; she would kill and sell his wife for the slightest provocation.
The knife tip pierced his throat an inch deep!
If it had been a second later, it would have been seeped through.
Chu Yan: "......."
So it was a real killing after all.
Wang Da dared not hesitate any longer: "It was a message from the Madam's family, telling me to find a way to prevent the Third Miss from being sold off."
The air was still for a few seconds.
Chu Jinjin grasped the key point: "Didn't I ask you to kill my older brother?"
"Why kill the eldest young master?" Wang Da looked at Chu Yan earnestly. "Young master, the Xu family is about to marry the concubine's younger sister. Their rise to prominence is just around the corner. Since ancient times, officials have not fought with the people. Xu Wenda insisted on marrying the third young lady, causing the concubine's younger brother and sister-in-law to commit suicide. This debt will be settled with the Chu family sooner or later."
He then turned to Chu Jinjin and earnestly advised, "Third Miss, if you want to consider the Chu family's future, you should find a remote estate and not return to the capital."
Chu Jinjin glanced at him and said, "My affairs are none of your business."
Such concerns are understandable, but the thinking is too simplistic.
Although the Chu family were merchants, they were not ordinary merchants; money could make the devil turn the millstone.
For that imperial concubine, the most important thing right now is to consolidate her position; she doesn't have time to keep a low profile.
Chu Jinjin looked intently at Wang Da.
The target was not Chu Yan.
