Chapter 598: Women, Don’t Pamper Them Too Much
The Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study.
Zhang Shuming handed the hot tea to Xiao Jin.
"Your Majesty, it will be the birthday of Prince Jiangning in a few days. This is the gift I prepared for you."
Xiao Jin paused, then glanced at the gift list casually, "Just get it ready."
"yes."
"It's rare for Xiao Shijie to come to the capital to celebrate the birthday of King Jiangning. So, you can take some money from the palace and give it to King Jiangning, and let him organize this birthday banquet. I will personally be there to celebrate the birthday of King Jiangning."
Zhang Shuming immediately responded and sent someone to the Prince of Jiangning's mansion to pass on the message, and by the way, the news that the emperor was going to celebrate the birthday of Prince of Jiangning was accidentally spread outside the palace.
Soon, all the noble families in the capital knew the emperor's intention. They, who had originally kept their distance from Prince Jiangning, had no choice but to follow suit and expressed their desire to attend Prince Jiangning's birthday party.
For a time, Prince Jiangning became very popular and had many more social engagements than before.
Chu Min passed by the restaurant and saw the drunk Prince Jiangning being helped out of the restaurant. He always felt that there was an indescribable weirdness in the direction of things now, as if they were tricked into a big circle. He felt that he had soberly avoided this circle, but he already had an indescribable feeling of suffocation.
"Hurry up and go back home."
After returning to the Duke Jingguo's Mansion, Chu Min was about to go back to the study when he was stopped by a maid.
He looked carefully and recognized the person as the one serving Chu Yun.
People are impatient when they are anxious. He frowned and asked unhappily, "What's wrong?"
"Master, the eldest lady said she has something very important to tell you."
Chu Min frowned even tighter. What else could be so important about Chu Yun?
But he still followed the maid to Chu Yun's room.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Chu Yun standing in front of the window. When she heard the noise, she just slowly turned her eyes towards him and did not come forward to salute respectfully as usual.
Chu Min let out a breath and said unhappily, "What do you want from me?"
Chu Yun did not speak in a hurry, but just asked the maids to leave.
There were only the father and daughter left in the house.
Chu Yun said nothing, but took out a longevity lock and a letter from her body.
The moment Chu Min saw the Longevity Lock clearly, his expression suddenly darkened!
He had someone give this immortality lock to his adopted son at the beginning of the year, how could it be in Chu Yun's hands! ?
Chu Min glared at Chu Yun with a gloomy look. Before he could speak, Chu Yun said softly, "Father, you should read the letter first before speaking."
Chu Min patiently picked up the envelope, opened it, and read ten lines at a glance.
After reading the letter, his face changed.
"Where did you get these things? Tell me!"
Facing the furious Chu Min, Chu Yun was not afraid at all. "My father should know better than his daughter who owns this lock. As for this letter...how did this lock come from? That's how this letter came from. This is originally my father's business, but my father and I are a family. If someone wants to murder my father, I, as a daughter, will never sit idly by."
Chu Min was a little confused after hearing this, "How do you know of their existence?"
Chu Yun raised the corners of her lips but she was not smiling. "There is no impenetrable wall in this world. That is my father's blood. I was going to take him back for him, but I heard that woman threaten that she would not only return to the mansion, but also take the position of the first lady!"
Chu Min's expression became even uglier.
"She is just a woman who is not presentable. How could my daughter fulfill her wish? But this letter is too important. My daughter is also worried that she still has leverage over my father, so I first stabilized her and secretly brought the letter back."
Chu Min's fingertips turned white as he held the letter. He wrote the letter personally to Xiao Shijie. He still remembered that when he wrote the letter, he wanted to express his sincerity, so he stamped his seal and the seal of the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion on the back of the letter.
After the letter was sent out, Xiao Shijie specially returned the letter to express his trust in him.
After getting the letter back, he did not deal with it immediately, and when he wanted to look for it later, he couldn't find it.
I didn’t expect it to fall into that woman’s hands!
If this letter were handed over to the emperor, he would surely die!
Chu Min was angry and scared, and now that Chu Yun knew what he had been hiding, all his negative emotions came flooding out at once, making his face look even more hideous.
Chu Yun could sense that he was upset. "Don't worry, father. The people over there have been stabilized by my daughter. I'm sure she will be fine for a while, but... this is a hidden danger after all. If father loves her, then just send her away secretly to avoid daily nightmares. As for the child... mother originally wanted to give father a few more concubines. After all, father is still young..."
Chu Yun's words gradually made Chu Min sober up from his anger. Chu Yun's words were all for his own good. Of course, she was also a member of the Jingguo Mansion. If something really happened to him, she would be doomed. In order to protect herself, Chu Yun would not lie to him.
Women should not be spoiled too much, otherwise they won’t know what their last name should be!
Chu Min put the letter away and said, "Don't worry about this. Father will take care of it. Don't tell anyone, understand?"
Chu Yun responded obediently, "Don't worry, father. Your daughter knows."
Chu Min nodded, turned around and left the room.
Not long after, Chu Yun's maid walked into the room and whispered, "Just now, the master left the house through the back door after leaving the eldest lady's place. It's dark outside now. I don't know where the master is going to go?"
Chu Yun sneered and of course went to solve the problem.
That night, Chu Yun didn't know when Chu Min came back. When she sent people to check the house the next day, it had been burned to ashes by a fire.
There were two more bodies in the yard, one big and one small, and two old servants, all dead.
It was half a day later when the news reached Xiao Shijie.
His face was so gloomy that black water could drip out of it, "Chu Min, you are more cruel than I imagined!"
"Sir, Chu Min is no longer useful to us. You should find a way to escape from the capital as soon as possible, right?"
In order to win over Chu Min, he had spent countless financial and material resources, and now he just said that it was useless. He really thought that Xiao Shijie was a soft persimmon!
"Send someone to tell Chu Min to find a way to come see me. Don't think I don't have any leverage over him. At worst, we'll be dead and buried. I can still find a way to escape back to Jinling City, and he can only stay in the capital and die!"
Three days later, Chu Min disguised himself as a servant and came to Xiao Shijie.
The door closed, Chu Min slowly stood up and looked at Xiao Shijie with a sharp gaze.
"Prince Xiao is really good at scheming!"
