Chapter 256: Concubine Ai’s Reputation

Hearing the voice in his head, Chu Youning couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up instantly.

[My sister has been stuck at 99% for hundreds of years. I thought she was having a seizure. I didn't expect she wouldn't move for so long. She must be waiting here.]

【Speaking of which, this reward sounds a bit generous. 】

Jiang He and Jiang Wanrong were a little confused after hearing this.

What ninety-nine percent? What reward?

But the two of them didn't ask the question in the end.

~~~

At the same time as I heard the muffled sound.

Qing Qianxue had regained consciousness but was still weak. The chess piece in his hand unexpectedly slipped and fell to a place he had not intended.

His expression froze.

"Qian Miao, go get me some imperial coins."

"yes!"

After a moment, he figured out the answer, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

Chu Haoze unexpectedly died today.

According to the hexagram, he was not supposed to die today, but unexpectedly he was forcibly killed.

Who on earth could have concealed the secret and risked losing his own merits by killing this person?

When he thought of this, a pair of eyes flashed in his mind instinctively.

For a moment, he was stunned.

Just when I was about to ask Qian Miao to check on Chu Youning's whereabouts, Qian Yan limped in.

"Master, a house in Liufeng Lane caught fire, and the people from Shadow Pavilion found out that the person who died inside was the Seventh Prince.

And...someone spotted the Jiang family's second son, fifth daughter, and...the eldest princess on a nearby street."

Qing Qianxue pondered for a moment and was about to give Chu Youning a guess, but then she realized that she was completely unpredictable and sighed helplessly.

"Qian Miao, go to the temple and donate some money for the princess."

"Also, vacate the two-story house in the East City and take in homeless children in the capital in the name of the eldest princess. Raise them and let them learn the basics of self-reliance."

"yes!"

Qian Miao left without hesitation.

Although Qian Yan didn't understand why, he didn't dare to ask why his master did it.

But he still couldn't help but speak slowly: "Master, are you going to tell the princess about what you did?"

"No need to say more."

Qing Qianxue spoke slowly.

"oh."

Qian Yan pouted and muttered as she left: "This has happened so many times. Who would do good deeds without leaving a name? If you don't tell the princess, she won't know. I don't know how she will find an excuse to come and see you."

The room was originally quiet, and although Qian Yan's voice was small, every word of it still fell into Qing Qianxue's ears without error.

He was stunned.

He... wanted to find a reason to see that girl.

One is because I am curious about her crow beak, and the other is to thank her for the medicine she gave me yesterday.

~~~

Nothing happened on the way back.

Chu Youning went back to Jiang's house with Jiang He and Jiang Wanrong to have lunch together.

This made Lin Xiangyin very happy, and she talked to Jiang Wanrong about parental matters for a long time.

Afterwards, Chu Youning returned to his previous courtyard.

She hasn't been back to live here these days, but the yard is still clean and tidy.

The little maids who used to sweep the yard in her courtyard are still here now, chatting happily with Chuntao, who has been waiting for her at Jiang's house for a long time.

Everyone was extremely excited to see her come back.

This made Chu Youning feel as if he had just gone out for fun for a few days and was now back home.

Finally, after reminiscing about the past with the maids, she threw herself onto her bed without hesitation and rolled back and forth several times.

"Ah... it's this familiar feeling, full of security."

In just two seconds, she climbed down from the bed again, and looked at the gold nugget that suddenly appeared beside the bed with her butt sticking out. She seemed not to have looked at it carefully just now.

"No... Taozi, am I blind? I haven't even put up the bed's imperial concubine sign yet, how come it's already been put up?"

"This..." Chun Tao seemed to have thought of something, and then she knelt down quickly, "Princess, you said you wanted to put a sign on the bed and prepare a red dress for it... I couldn't help but let it slip to Xia He."

"I guess it was that little girl Xia He who leaked the information."

"If she doesn't guard the door, then you will? Get up, get up."

Chu Youning looked at the plaque and chuckled.

"Yes, that's what I said at the beginning. Chu Haoze is going to die, so I have to clear the name of my beloved concubine."

"Taozi, go get me some window decorations and candles, and change the red curtains for my beloved concubine."

“…”

Chuntao's head hit the ground completely.

She now wanted to slap herself in the face.

Why was she so careless with her mouth back then? Now...

If I really want to get those things back, I'm afraid everyone in the Jiang family will know about it, right?

When this matter gets out...

Chuntao couldn't help but shudder.

"Miss, do you really want to do it?"

"Well, I am now the eldest princess who must take every word and action seriously. If I regret even such a small matter, how can I obey the public in the future?"

Chu Youning nodded without hesitation.

Chun Tao felt hopeless and was about to go out when she saw Xia He from next door walking in with two maids, carrying a bunch of things.
