Chapter 3 Life on Earth is but a Hundred Years
Lu Puhe first knew about this matter.
Pu Qiongzhi knew very well that Lu Pu seemed to be meticulous, steady and reliable on weekdays, but when faced with any problem he would become a fool and stubborn.
That day, after Lu Puhe received the news, he could not contain his anger.
He grabbed a hatchet and rushed into the Lin'an government office, chopping as much as he could...
"Ke Cao told me that they advised Lu Puhe to take it slow, but he said he couldn't wait."
"The succession of kings lasts only a few hundred years, and so does life. He will use Yin Shuyu's life to sacrifice to the souls of these craftsmen!"
Nangong Xue held her head in her hands, her eyes blank, obviously recalling something painful.
"When I arrived at Lin'an Prefecture, the Yin family had hung Lu Puhe's body on the city gate to dry in the sun."
When he said this, his eyes were full of murderous intent and hatred, but his voice was bitter.
"I rushed to Lin'an overnight to retrieve Lu Puhe's body, which must have angered the Yin family. Right now, the government office is shocked by the people of Lin'an, and this matter must have spread to the capital immediately. I rushed back to inform my brother and his wife."
"I know I didn't act rationally in this matter... I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Nangong Xue knelt beside the bed, "Brother, please use the family rules."
"What are you talking about, you little brat!" Nangong Hua reached out and patted his head. "That bastard Yin Shuyu, let's just kill him! But Lu Puhe should have informed us earlier, otherwise he wouldn't..."
When he said this, he looked at Pu Qiongzhi with some worry.
Pu Qiongzhi felt uncomfortable for a moment, "Yeah. Thank you for collecting Lu Puhe's body."
"The Yin family has been so cruel to my Pu family. I won't let them have it easy!"
And... the Ninth Prince! Pei Wanqing! Fang Miaozhu!
Her face was cold, and she thought of Xiao Xingzi again, and a bloody taste came to her mouth.
She wasn't standing high enough to protect these people.
At the beginning, she promised them that she would follow the rules of the Pu family and go through life in terms of birth, old age, sickness and death.
But now she has broken her promise.
She has to move the Pu family's position as soon as possible. This can't go on any longer!
…
The Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Gongsun Huaili looked at the thick letter.
"How do you do things? This prince has only been busy at the Ministry of Rites for two days, and yet such a big disaster has occurred!"
He swept the books on the table to the ground.
He didn't care what Pu Qiongzhi thought at the moment. He just wanted to think about how to get rid of his connection with the Yin family!
Such a scandal is simply a huge handle.
If everyone knew about this, then his declaration of loving the people like his own children would be completely undone.
"Your Highness! Please! I really didn't mean it!"
"Your Highness! If you don't forgive me, I won't get up!"
Gongsun Huaili was just getting annoyed when Fang Miaozhu's crying voice came in from outside.
He felt even more furious at this moment.
It would be fine if one or two people couldn't help him, but they would just cause more trouble!
"Let her go! This prince doesn't want to see her now!"
Wei Jie retreated, and seeing Fang Miaozhu's desperate pleading, he changed his words, "Madam Fang, His Highness is very troubled by government affairs and has no time to see you for the time being. His Highness does not intend to make a fuss about this matter."
"However, you should also think carefully about whether spreading this matter will damage His Highness's reputation."
When Fang Miaozhu heard that the Ninth Prince did not blame her, she immediately felt happy.
"Why is Your Highness unhappy? Could you please tell me?" She was more cautious.
Wei Jie hesitated for a moment, then said carefully, "Your Highness, something has happened to your shipping company, and it can no longer operate. Now that you have lost the support of the Yin family, you will be stretched to the limit for the time being, and you are worried."
"..." Fang Miaozhu fell into deep thought, "It really is a matter of money... Thank you, Major General Wei."
"I can't help much with this matter. How about asking Pu Qiongzhi for help?"
"No! This sinister woman might be up to something! Besides, isn't the shipping company run by Her Highness and her together?"
"In other words, Your Highness, there's absolutely no chance of a relationship with Pu Qiongzhi? But the Yin family is also in trouble now..."
"How come all of this hasn't appeared in the plot? How can I help His Highness..."
"Fang Miaozhu! Think about it! You are a modern person from a new era!"
…
The new king of Dali Kingdom came to congratulate the royal wedding.
The Minister of the Honglu Temple was ordered to receive the new king, but was made to feel awkward by the other party.
He could only ask his wife for help and receive the guests at her sister-in-law's Ruilou.
"This kind of thing shouldn't be bothered with, but the one I have at home is really useless..."
Nangong Yu told Pu Qiongzhi about this, and Pu Qiongzhi agreed immediately.
"It's not a big deal, don't worry, aunt."
"Don't worry, we will pay the price! We are sorry to trouble you..." Nangong Yu also understood that entertaining such a special person was the most troublesome.
Pu Qiongzhi shook her head. "It's not a big deal. We have even hosted officials in Ruilou before. Don't worry about it."
"Thank you very much." Nangong Yu smiled.
Pu Qiongzhi has been upset about what happened in Lin'an recently.
"Madam, the Ninth Prince has come to visit and apologize!"
"It's right at the door, come and have a look!"
Upon hearing this, Pu Qiongzhi stood up and paced back and forth for two steps.
"But what's so difficult about it?" Nangong Yu had never seen her like this before and was a little worried.
Pu Qiongzhi tried to calm her down first, "Don't worry, sister, the Ninth Prince and I are old acquaintances."
"It's just that this time... I don't know how to deal with it."
She was actually just angry and didn't want to forgive him just like that.
But this move by the other party was like putting the Earl's Mansion on the fire.
If she went out, she would have taken out both the Pu family and the Ninth Prince.
But, did Lu Puhe die in vain?
Pu Qiongzhi refused.
She composed herself and walked out the door pretending to be relaxed.
"Ouch! What are you doing, Your Highness?"
"Mr. Wen Shushuo, this prince has heard about what happened in Lin'an Prefecture!"
"No wonder Master Shuo broke off relations with this prince. It turns out it was these foolish people below who committed such a heinous crime!"
"This prince only realized now... I am truly sorry for you! This cooperation has turned out like this. This prince is ashamed to see you!"
"I can only...I can only apologize with my head held high! Even so, I can't save the lives of these craftsmen!"
"I, Gongsun Huaili, am ashamed..."
"As a descendant of the royal family, I didn't even know that my subordinates were heinous criminals!"
"Today, I will cut off my hair and return my flesh to make amends to them!"
"Mr. Wen Shushuo, I don't expect you to forgive me, I just hope you won't be too sad about this... Please accept my condolences."
His actions shocked the people watching around him.
Some sentimental people were even moved to tears.
"Your Highness truly loves the people like his own children. How could he do such a wicked thing?"
"No one wants something like this to happen. Your Highness... don't blame yourself." Pu Qiongzhi's nails dug deep into her palms as she spoke. Otherwise, she would never have been able to say the words of forgiveness.
