Chapter 603 Let's avenge Ajiu together!
He had kept this question in his heart for a long time.
He never dared to ask, fearing that even if he knew the answer, he would be powerless to avenge Ajiu.
But now things are different. He finally has the confidence to ask for the truth and the courage to avenge Ajiu.
Not just him, but others too...
They all went outside the city to mourn Ajiu without prior arrangement.
He knew that they all remembered that on the boat, it was Ajiu who knelt and begged the old lady to take them in, and it was Ajiu who took the initiative to stay at the manor to teach them to forget the past and start a new life.
Although no one said anything, everyone remembered Ah Jiu and Ah Jiu's death.
Qiao Qinghe sighed, and after a long while, she slowly began to tell Amo about the incident involving Ajiu during Xixi's trip.
"It's all because of my incompetence; I failed to protect A-Jiu, which caused her to lose the will to live..."
"If I hadn't let her leave with Min Pan'er back then, she wouldn't have become a cripple!"
"If I had thought of a way to deal with the Crown Prince's difficulties earlier, Ajiu wouldn't have committed suicide!"
"It's all my fault!"
"If Ajiu hadn't come with me to Daqi, she wouldn't have died!"
Qiao Qinghe's words were full of self-blame, and she couldn't help but shed tears at the end.
Ah Shuang, who was serving nearby, glared at Ah Mo with dissatisfaction, then quickly stepped forward and used a handkerchief to wipe away Qiao Qinghe's tears.
Qiao Qinghe waved her hand to dismiss A Shuang, took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears, but the tears flowed even more fiercely.
This made Ah Shuang glare at Ah Mo with displeasure.
Amo's eyes were also red, and he was about to cry with Qiao Qinghe, but he managed to hold back his tears because of A Shuang's glare.
He dared not cry anymore and quickly shook his head and waved his hands at Qiao Qinghe, "Madam, this is not your fault!"
"Ajiu's death has nothing to do with you. If you have to blame someone, blame Min Pan'er!"
“A-Jiu clearly saved her life and protected her all the way during her escape. She didn’t appreciate A-Jiu’s kindness, but only remembered that A-Jiu had no choice but to abandon her, causing her to suffer injustice.”
"It was because she was ungrateful, petty, and malicious that she harmed Ajiu, crippled Ajiu, and made Ajiu lose the meaning of life."
"It's all her fault!"
Amo got up, walked to Qiao Qinghe's side, squatted down, looked up at her sincerely, and said, "Madam, please don't blame yourself. We all know that Ajiu's death was not your fault! Ajiu wouldn't blame you, and neither would we!"
"If Ajiu could know from beyond the grave that you are still grieving and blaming yourself for her death, she would be at peace."
Qiao Qinghe finally stopped crying, reached out and stroked Amo's head, and said in a low voice, "I'm sad, not only because Ajiu died because of me. It's also because Ajiu has been dead for two years, and I still haven't been able to avenge her!"
Amo looked at Qiao Qinghe with a determined expression, "Madam, rest assured, we will definitely avenge Ajiu!"
When Amo said "we," he meant those who had been taken care of by Ajiu, but Qiao Qinghe subconsciously thought that Amo was referring to him and herself.
He excitedly grabbed Amo's hand and nodded, saying, "Yes, we will definitely avenge Ajiu! Let's work together to avenge Ajiu!"
"However, this matter needs to be remembered for a long time."
Qiao Qinghe tugged at Amo, gesturing for him to sit down and talk.
Amo nodded, stood up, and sat back down on the stool.
Qiao Qinghe then continued, "Min Pan'er has now entered the Chu Prince's mansion and become the Chu Prince's concubine. She rarely goes out, making it difficult to find an opportunity to make a move."
"We can infiltrate..."
As soon as Amo opened his mouth, Qiao Qinghe shook her head and interrupted, "The Chu Prince's Mansion is not the residence of any other official. Without my permission, none of you are allowed to make any rash moves."
Amo frowned, puzzled, but still obediently nodded in agreement.
Qiao Qinghe explained, "With the Crown Prince deposed, the Prince of Chu is now the only legitimate son of the Crown Prince. His residence not only has its own guards, but also spies and secret guards planted by the Emperor within the Prince of Chu's residence."
"Those are all top-notch experts."
"Although you have all grown up and your skills are much better than they were a few years ago."
"However, compared to those people, they are still far inferior."
“I want you to know that avenging Ajiu is important, but the lives of each and every one of you are also important.”
"I don't want any of your lives to be lost in the process of avenging Ajiu!"
"Rather than that, I'd rather plan slowly and take my revenge gradually!"
"Do you get me?"
Qiao Qinghe looked at Amo with serious eyes, her words carrying a hint of warning.
Amo nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Madam, we won't act rashly without absolute certainty."
These words came from the bottom of my heart.
Because he knew that if any one of them were arrested, it would definitely implicate the old lady.
Therefore, they will not act impulsively unless they are absolutely certain.
Seeing that Amo spoke with such seriousness, Qiao Qinghe felt a little relieved.
After thinking for a moment, she added, "With the Crown Prince deposed, the King of Chu is now the center of everyone's attention. No matter what happens around him, it will not escape everyone's notice."
"Therefore, now is not the time to make a move against Min Pan'er."
After a pause, she hesitated before speaking, "She really will be of marriageable age next year. If nothing unexpected happens, she should marry into the Chu Prince's mansion in the second half of next year."
"Once she becomes the Princess Consort of Chu, it will be a piece of cake for her to deal with Min Pan'er."
Amo was taken aback, then said with a strange expression, "Miss Yu, did you agree to the marriage with the Prince of Chu's mansion because you also had the intention of avenging Ajiu?"
Qiao Qinghe nodded, "That should be correct."
"So, don't rush. Everyone remembers Ah Jiu's grudge. Let's take it slow."
"Okay," Amo replied, a smile unconsciously spreading across his face.
It feels so good. We all share a common goal, and we all miss the same person in our hearts. It's as if we are all one of our own.
Seeing that the two had finished talking, A-Shuang spoke up at the right time to remind them, "Madam, please have your meal. Breakfast is getting cold."
As he spoke, he stepped forward to serve food to Qiao Qinghe.
Seeing that Amo was standing there motionless, A-Shuang couldn't help but remind him with a stern face, "You should eat quickly too. This is breakfast that the old lady specially asked Asi to cook. Don't waste Asi's cooking skills."
Amo quickly nodded and smiled apologetically, then picked up the bowl and drank the white porridge in one gulp, as if it were water.
After he finished drinking, he showed the empty bowl to Ashuang, saying, "Don't worry, Sister Ashuang, there will be absolutely no waste."
Ah Shuang was immediately amused by him, and her expression improved considerably. She took his bowl, served him another bowl of porridge, and put two steamed buns on the plate in front of him before focusing on serving Qiao Qinghe her meal.
The atmosphere during the meal was visibly much more relaxed.
After finishing breakfast, Amo left, and Qiao Qinghe asked A Shuang to help her go to the courtyard to digest her food.
After walking for a while, Qiao Qinghe turned her head to look at A Shuang with amusement, "Did you figure something out just now?"
