Chapter 158: Angry as a Pufferfish
Chu Qinshu had no choice but to climb onto the recliner and watch with Xiao Hulu how others were plotting against their own father.
The middle-aged couple in the video are Zhou Hongjing and his wife.
Zhou Hongjing was wrapped in bandages all over his body, and it really looked like he was going to die soon.
Mrs. Zhou sat beside the bed and patiently fed him medicine.
"Madam, Ming'er is seventeen this year, right?"
Zhou Hongjing swallowed a mouthful of bitter medicine, his brows wrinkled as if he had eaten raw rhubarb, and even the questions he asked had a bitter taste.
"Yes, I just turned seventeen."
There was no special expression on Mrs. Zhou's face.
While answering Zhou Hongjing's questions in a gentle tone, she kept putting a spoon full of Chinese medicine to his mouth.
"It's time to arrange her marriage."
Zhou Hongjing said.
"Well, it's time to get started."
Mrs. Zhou remained gentle and expressionless.
The Ming'er mentioned by Zhou Hongjing is Zhou Jiaming, the full name of whom is the younger sister of Ning Prince's concubine Zhou Jiayi.
It’s just that Zhou Jiaming is the older daughter of Zhou Hongjing and Mrs. Zhou, and is thirteen years younger than their eldest daughter Zhou Jiayi.
Mrs. Zhou knew her father's temper well, and she had never had the final say in her children's marriages.
Therefore, the youngest girl remained until she was seventeen years old, and she had never arranged her marriage.
"Go back and ask Ming'er to go to the city gate more often to pick up relatives from their hometown who are seeking refuge with them."
Zhou Hongjing said thoughtfully.
The eldest daughter was able to enter the Ning Wang Palace as a concubine because she saved Ning Wang's life.
It's okay to design this kind of life-saving plan once, but if you do it too many times, it will easily backfire.
"Relatives from my hometown are coming? How come I didn't know?"
Mrs. Zhou's puzzlement didn't seem fake. Wasn't it about her youngest daughter's marriage? Why did it involve the relatives from her hometown?
Could it be that my father wants to marry his young daughter back to his hometown?
Besides Mrs. Zhou, Chu Qinshu also had such doubts.
"Little Gourd, is this what you meant by someone plotting against my father? Why didn't I see it?"
Chu Qinshu really didn't realize it, and she had no interest in what Zhou Hongjing said.
"Master, don't be impatient. Haven't you gotten to the point yet?"
Little Gourd was very patient and it didn't miss a single word of what Zhou Hongjing said to himself before he asked Madam Zhou to come.
"Well, they are still so slow in plotting against someone. Aren't they afraid that the person they are plotting against will run away?"
Chu Qinshu suppressed her impatience and continued to wait for Zhou Hongjing to speak.
"Isn't this what your husband is telling you? Tell Ming'er to go to the city gate once a day starting tomorrow."
Zhou Hongjing did not come up with this idea today. He had already arranged the people to cooperate in advance.
As long as Zhou Jiaming follows his requirements and route, he is 100% sure that he can succeed.
"Yes, I saved it."
Although Mrs. Zhou did not understand Zhou Hongjing's thoughts, she did not dare to object to his arrangements.
Let the little girl go pick them up, then go pick them up.
But it is very cold in winter, and it must be very painful to go to the city gate every day.
After Mrs. Zhou left, Zhou Hongjing called the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion again.
The butler has been with the Zhou family for generations. It can be said that the honor or disgrace of the Zhou family is related to how well he lives, so he is very good at serving his master loyally.
"Have those two groups of people keep an eye on the Third Miss and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leaves the palace and heads towards the city gate, they should cooperate with him."
Zhou Hongjing did not personally meet the two groups of people he mentioned.
He had asked his butler to arrange these people two or three years ago, and he was just waiting for the right time to facilitate a happy marriage.
"Yes, I have made note of it. Don't worry, Master."
The butler looked excited, as if he saw Rong Hua Fugui waving at him.
Zhou Hongjing took the medicine and arranged a marriage for his youngest daughter. He relaxed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Chu Qinshu: "......"
Xiao Hulu did not lie to her, there really was someone who was thinking about her father.
But, can you tell her how this was calculated?
How come she didn't understand anything?
Little Gourd: Wasn’t the master very good at calculating people’s hearts in his previous life?
From a little girl who was sold into the mountains, she became a promising candidate selected for funding by the orphanage, and then she skipped grades to obtain a doctorate degree and joined a scientific research unit.
How can ordinary people do this?
How come you've become so stupid after just one reincarnation?
Could it be that when it was pulling her into the reincarnation well, it was moving too fast and her head fell onto the edge of the well?
"Little Hulu, do you see how Zhou Hongjing is planning to plot against my father?"
Chu Qinshu couldn't figure it out, so she asked Xiao Hulu.
"Master, I...I don't understand either."
A moment ago, the little gourd was still wondering about its master's reincarnation when its head fell into the well.
The next moment it realized that its own brain might have fallen into the well.
It thought its owner could understand it, but it itself couldn't understand it at all.
Besides, it doesn’t matter whether it can understand or not, because Zhou Hongjing is not thinking about its father.
But now that the owner has asked it, it must help the owner find a solution.
The housekeeper of the Zhou residence? He quickly flipped through the roster to see if this person was on it.
I have to say that since Xiao Hulu started to use his brain, his brain has indeed reacted much faster than before.
Sure enough, the more you use your brain, the smarter it becomes.
"Check the butler. He is the one who carried out Zhou Hongjing's orders. No one knows the whole thing better than him."
Chu Qinshu and Xiao Hulu had the same idea.
As soon as Chu Qinshu finished speaking, Xiao Hulu found the name of Zhou Mansion's housekeeper in the list.
"Master, we found it. Let's take a look."
Xiao Hulu was very quick and clicked on the video immediately after seeing the name.
After clicking on the video, Xiao Hulu manually pulled the progress bar and stopped only when he found the time period after the housekeeper left Zhou Hongjing's yard today.
Create chaos, abduct a woman of Zhou Jiaming's age from the city gate, and then save the beauty...
Chu Qinshu heard the Zhou mansion’s housekeeper giving instructions to the two groups of men in black at the same time, and then discussed with them the time to take action.
By the time they finished discussing, Chu Qinshu was almost pissing herself up like a puffer fish.
Shameless, daring to plot against her father.
Her mother is easy to mess with, but she is not.
When Chu Qinshu regained consciousness and opened her eyes, Chu Chengyi was closing his eyes and resting, waiting for her to wake up.
Others may not understand Chu Qinshu, but he, as her father, understands her very well.
Every time she fell asleep suddenly, no matter how long she slept, she would say something to him when she woke up.
Sometimes I would remind him of something, and sometimes I would just let him use the 'Consciousness Projection Symbol' to watch a video and learn something.
"Ahhh....ohhh."
[Daddy, wake up, Daddy, wake up, someone is going to put a beauty in your backyard. ]
When Chu Qinshu saw Chu Chengyi closed his eyes, she waved her little hands to pry open his eyelids.
Fortunately, her little fingers were not obedient and failed to open it after several attempts. Instead, it made Chu Chengyi laugh uncontrollably.
"Shu'er, do you want to take a bath first or drink milk first?"
He had seen many cases of people trying to get into his backyard, so he wasn't panicked at all.
It was his own daughter who reminded him of this, which actually made him feel heartwarming.
