Chapter 22 The Truth
"grandfather!"
Chu Jiuning was delighted and quickly climbed over there. The old man raised his hand and signaled the servants to come up and pick her up.
"Grandpa, why are you here?"
That's what I said.
The people who smashed the wall together last night were from the Chu family. Grandpa wouldn't have been guarding here all the time and not sleeping, right? After being picked up by the servants, Chu Jiuning couldn't wait to ask him.
"Grandpa, did you have a good rest and eat well?"
"Of course I've taken good care of myself. Don't worry, Grandpa is always watching out for you, fearing he'll become a burden to you."
When Old Master Chu saw that his granddaughter seemed to have lost some weight, his heart ached suddenly, and he hurriedly pulled her towards the house.
After returning to the room, Liu Shun brought tea and talked to her.
"As soon as the old master heard about what was happening here, he asked me to buy this house overnight. He said it must be next to the young lady so that we can help her if anything happens."
"Grandpa, I made you worry."
Chu Jiuning threw herself into Old Master Chu's arms. As tears welled up in her eyes, she felt a surge of guilt.
When the old man saw her like this, he felt so distressed.
How could her granddaughter, whom she had raised with great effort and treated like a treasure, be so blind as to choose a family like this? How did she find out?
"Xiaojiu, aren't you also satisfied with the Song Mansion? Why are you suddenly reacting so strongly?"
Chu Jiuning's body trembled violently. She sat up straight, letting the pain in her eyes surge like a river or sea. After a while, she sighed.
"Grandpa, we've been tricked by the Song family."
Grandpa must have known in detail what happened at the gate of the Song Mansion. There was no need for her to explain it again. She only told the old man about the Song Mansion's plan. The old man felt cold all over and his face was gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said without thinking.
"We considered various possibilities at first, but couldn't find any problems after repeated investigations. Now it seems that they planned this all along and did it on purpose for us to see. Xiaojiu, this marriage cannot be held."
Looking at the grandfather in front of him who only cared about him, Chu Jiuning felt even more pain in his heart. Such a good grandfather, but the Song family was so cruel as to kill him.
"It would be great if we could divorce quickly, but is that possible?"
After all, they were just businessmen. If the government wanted to crush them, wouldn't that be easier than stepping on an ant? Chu Jiuning closed her eyes in pain. This was also the reason for their failure in the previous life.
"No way."
She stood up and walked to the window. Even her back revealed a strong murderous aura.
"I will destroy the Song family and leave no one alive!"
The old man looked at his granddaughter who was full of hostility, and his eyes were full of pain. If possible, he only wished Jiu Ning to be innocent and happy all her life.
"Grandpa, I have a plan, but you must be careful to protect yourself and not let those people hurt you."
"good."
Old Master Chu nodded naturally. He would never become his granddaughter's weakness, nor would he hold her back.
"Even if I have to spend all our wealth, as long as you can get what you want, Grandpa will do it. But Xiaojiu, you must not hide anything from me. No matter what happens, you must tell me. Instead of making unnecessary guesses and worries, it is better to bear it together."
These words were like a whip that hit Chu Jiuning's heart hard. Her long eyelashes trembled and tears fell. She walked to the front of Old Master Chu, knelt on her knees, held his hand and sobbed.
"Grandpa, I...I've actually died once."
"What did you say?"
Old Master Chu was so frightened that he was stunned. He stared at his granddaughter, whose face was pale and tears were streaming down her face. He helped her up with shaking hands and asked in a trembling voice.
"What do you mean by that?"
What does it mean to have died once?
Amber was also shocked when she heard this, and stared at her young lady in a daze. Is this... is this saying that she failed to protect the young lady and caused her death once?
Anger surged in her chest and Amber clenched her fists. How could she be so useless?
Chu Jiuning simply did not hide it from anyone and told him everything that happened in her previous life. Old Master Chu burst into tears as he listened. He hugged Chu Jiuning and gritted his teeth, feeling heartbroken with hatred.
"How could this happen? It's really like this? No wonder you launched such a tragedies against the Song Mansion, making it known to everyone."
Although he is a merchant, he is as rich as a country.
Xiaojiu is top-notch in terms of food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, knowledge and talent, and is not inferior to the empresses and princesses in the palace.
This was his beloved granddaughter, yet she was tortured like that by the Song family. In the end, the entire Chu family was destroyed by the Song family.
"This Song family really deserves to die!"
Old Master Chu asked her with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Is it certain that we can connect with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Will the outcome be the same as in the previous life?"
"As long as there are interests involved, there shouldn't be any problems. When the time comes, I will immediately take everyone away from the capital. From now on, we will go our separate ways."
Compared to the despicable Song family, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is much more upright. What's more, His Royal Highness still needs to take her medicine to recover.
"Grandpa, I have to go to the Prince's Mansion first."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince occasionally lives in the Eastern Palace, but most of the time he lives in the Crown Prince's Mansion in the capital.
"good."
The old man wiped his tears hurriedly and asked someone to make arrangements.
In less than half an hour, Chu Jiuning, dressed in men's clothes, left quietly with two male servants.
It’s not far away, only four blocks away.
After Chu Jiuning got off the carriage, she showed the Crown Prince's jade ring. The guards hurriedly opened the door and welcomed Chu Jiuning in.
The Prince's Mansion is magnificent and heavily guarded, with guards visible everywhere.
The servant led Chu Jiuning to a courtyard called Pushe. The environment inside was elegant and there were green trees. Chu Jiuning stood by the lake, looked at the undercurrent of the lake, and blinked.
This lake.
It seems to be raising something very sharp.
The wind swept across the lake, lifting her long hair with a hint of solemnity.
The sound of someone saluting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came from the door. A domineering figure appeared in the lush greenery and turned around to salute.
"This humble lady greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"I just happened to have something to talk to you about. Please tell me your story first."
The prince walked up to her and stopped, his dark eyes falling on her face. Chu Jiuning handed him a note worth 500,000 silver notes.
"Your Highness, could you please rent me twenty reliable guards? I'm worried about my grandfather's safety."
"good."
The prince took the banknote and handed it to Shen Liuguang, then motioned for her to follow.
The two of them entered the room one after the other, walked towards the soft couch, and after sitting down, the prince took out an article from his arms and placed it in front of Chu Jiuning.
Chu Jiuning knew at a glance that this was the article she had written about the people of Jiangzhou who were in dire straits and whose lives were in danger at any moment. She lowered her eyes and said softly.
“Yes, I wrote this.”
"Why are you so concerned about Jiangzhou?"
She seemed to know Jiangzhou very well, and the prince always felt that she should have thought of a solution.
He presented the article to his father and several court officials.
This morning's court session.
There was a heated debate in the court over Jiangzhou. One faction advocated relocating the people, while the other advocated moving mountains and building canals to completely solve the problem.
But……
