Chapter 242: Too ambitious, hard to control
Teahouse private room.
Xiao Mocheng took off his black cloak and sat at the table with a stern face.
"Your Highness, what do you want to talk to you about?" Tang Zhongxu picked up the teapot and poured tea for Xiao Mocheng.
Xiao Mocheng snorted coldly, "Father-in-law, I asked you to come here to discuss something."
Tang Zhongxu looked at Xiao Mocheng and thought secretly: Discuss?
I think you want to expose the truth!
Forget it, for the sake of my daughter to sit on the throne of queen, I will be patient for now!
Xiao Mocheng took a sip of tea and said in an unhappy tone, "Today I am here to warn my father-in-law to be more careful in the future. Especially that matter, you must entrust it to someone you can trust."
"If the news leaks out, the whole family will be executed."
Tang Zhongxu lowered his eyes, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing across his face, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
"What if there really is a war on the border..." Xiao Mocheng said, looking at Tang Zhongxu.
Tang Zhongxu naturally knew what Xiao Mocheng was worried about.
He poured tea for Xiao Mocheng and said calmly, "Your Highness, don't worry."
"There's nothing wrong with two countries going to war."
"Think about it, if General Chu is defeated, we can take the opportunity to bring him down."
"By then, I will recommend one of our men to take over the position of general."
"With military power in your hands, you can smoothly ascend...to the throne."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mocheng smiled with satisfaction.
He became even more wary of Tang Zhongxu.
This person is too ambitious and difficult to control.
......
Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin sat in the private room next door, listening attentively to the faint sounds of conversation.
This Tang Zhongxu is quite mean.
"Let them show off for a few days, and after a while, we will secretly report them." Jiang Ruo said with an angry look on her face.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengjin said seriously, "Then let them have a thrilling New Year."
Jiang Ruo raised her hand and pinched Xiao Chengjin's handsome face, "Just do as you say, hehe!"
Xiao Chengjin looked at the sky outside and whispered, "Ruoruo, it's getting late. We should leave."
"Go wait for me outside first, I'll be out in a moment." Jiang Ruo said, pointing to the window.
Xiao Chengjin smiled dotingly and jumped directly out of the window.
Jiang Ruo drank a cup of tea and cleared her throat...
The next moment, a panicked cry rang out from the teahouse: "Someone, catch the thief!"
“Someone stole my wallet…”
.......
The tea drinkers downstairs heard the shouting coming from the second floor and ran upstairs.
Catching the thief is secondary, they want to watch the fun.
Xiao Mocheng and Tang Zhongxu in the private room heard the sound coming from outside the door and immediately had a bad feeling.
This person couldn't have done it on purpose!
Xiao Mocheng stood up and put on the black cloak.
Tang Zhongxu looked towards the door warily, and did not forget to comfort Xiao Mocheng, "Your Highness, please be patient."
"Let's wait until the thief catchers leave before we go out."
Xiao Mocheng had no choice but to sit back at the table.
After the tea drinkers went upstairs, Jiang Ruo said anxiously, "I was just enjoying my tea when someone suddenly broke in, snatched my purse, and ran away."
Upon hearing this, a tea drinker scratched his head and said, "Hey little brother, we didn't see anyone coming down from upstairs!"
"Are you seeing things?"
Jiang Ruo pretended to be at a loss and touched her waist, crying out in anxiety.
"Wow... I'm not seeing things, someone really stole my purse."
"He must be hiding in some room..."
Upon hearing this, the tea drinkers said, "Don't worry, little brother. We will help you find the thief."
Jiang Ruo pretended to wipe away her tears.
Seeing this, the teahouse owner said unyieldingly, "Sir, please don't be so anxious. Since this happened in our teahouse, we will not ignore it."
"I'll take someone to check the room right away."
There were eight private rooms in total. The teahouse owner took Jiang Ruo and knocked on each door to check.
Jiang Ruo looked at the teahouse owner who was nodding and bowing, and felt a little guilty, but not much.
Forget it, just pay a little more for tea to make up for it!
After checking several rooms, Jiang Ruojun shook his head, indicating that the thief he was looking for was not inside.
The teahouse owner looked at the last private room and frowned.
"Young Master, are you still looking for something?"
The Prime Minister is in this private room.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruo immediately revealed a pitiful expression, "My mother is in that purse..."
The teahouse owner turned around and walked towards the private room where Xiao Mocheng was without saying a word.
The tea drinkers thought that the thief must be hiding in the last private room.
They followed Jiang Ruo, ready to fight...
Xiao Mocheng and Tang Zhongxu in the private room became restless as they listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer.
Why don’t these people leave yet?
What are you doing?
“Knock, knock…”
The sudden knock on the door startled the two of them for a moment.
Xiao Mocheng subconsciously put on the hood of his cloak, "Go open the door and send them away quickly."
Tang Zhongxu lowered his voice and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
He restrained his expression, turned around and walked to the door...
“Squeak!”
The moment the door opened, the teahouse owner smiled and said, "Prime Minister, there was a thief just now..."
The tea drinkers at the back looked at Xiao Mocheng wearing a cloak and immediately shouted, "Look everyone, the thief is hiding here!"
The air froze instantly and you could hear a pin drop.
At an angle that no one else could see, Jiang Ruo smiled.
Hahaha, Xiao Mocheng, the way you’re dressed really fits the image of a “thief”.
Sitting at the table was Xiao Mocheng: "......."
It is outrageous to say that I am a thief.
We originally came here to discuss things in secret, but now everyone knows about it.
After hearing what the tea guest said, Tang Zhongxu was so angry that his eyes went dark.
Did the guy whose wallet was robbed do it on purpose?
The more Xiao Mocheng thought about it, the angrier he became, and he stood up suddenly.
When he turned around, someone behind him exclaimed, "Your Highness, why is it you?"
Jiang Ruo looked at Xiao Mocheng with an angry face, quietly took a few steps back and returned to the private room.
She placed a silver ingot on the table and jumped out of the window.
Xiao Chengjin walked forward and said cheerfully, "I've had enough fun."
Jiang Ruo covered her lips and smiled, "Hehe, Xiao Mocheng is almost going crazy."
At the door of the private room.
"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Everyone knelt down and saluted.
Xiao Mocheng snorted coldly and said unhappily, "No need to be polite!"
After he finished speaking, he just flicked his sleeves and left.
Tang Zhongxu threw down a silver ingot and said angrily, "Catch the thief!"
After the two left, the teahouse owner and the tea customers were still a little confused.
What is going on here?
Why are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister here?
This is a bit too lively...
