Soon, Sun Chuanting was taken in by two people.
After the host and the guest were seated, Sun Chuanting said, "Master Chen, this is Miss Qingqing, right?"
After saying this, Sun Chuanting looked her up and down, then exclaimed in admiration, "She is truly a peerless beauty, and a rare example of someone who understands righteousness. Lord Chen is so lucky!"
After hearing what Sun Chuanting said, Chen Facai waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about, Lord Sun?"
Sun Chuanting was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Don't Lord Chen and Miss Qingqing have..."
"In that case, how about we make a deal? I'm young and in a high position, and I don't have anyone around me who understands me. I really need someone as caring and attentive as Miss Qingqing. How about after this is over, Lord Chen let Miss Qingqing come with me?"
After hearing this, Chen Facai raised his eyebrows and glared at her, saying, "Master Sun, don't say that. I mean Qingqing isn't as good as you say, not that we have no relationship. I won't hide it from you, Master Sun. I will marry Qingqing after the matter is completed."
After hearing this, Sun Chuanting showed an expression of realization and a bright smile on his face.
Standing next to him, Qingqing rolled her eyes at Chen Facai. He was clearly the one who was embarrassed, but now he's trying to put the blame on me?
Chen Facai also realized that Sun Chuanting was joking and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Sun has such a side to him."
However, after Sun Chuanting said this, the atmosphere at the scene eased a lot.
Sun Chuanting said, "We were both too nervous. Actually, there was no need to be so nervous. I was just trying to ease the awkward atmosphere. Whether this thing succeeds or not, it doesn't matter."
Having said this, Sun Chuanting stood up and bowed to Miss Qingqing, saying with a serious face, "Miss Qingqing, I'm sorry for wronging you this time. Sun Chuanting owes you a favor! If you have any problems in the future, you can send someone to find Chuanting. Chuanting will definitely not refuse."
After hearing this, Chen Facai stood up immediately.
He didn't expect Sun Chuanting to do this, and then said: "This, sir, this is inappropriate. I don't deserve such a great gift from you."
Qingqing also quickly waved her hand and said, "Master Sun, you are too kind."
To be honest, there were not many people in the entire Ming Dynasty who could withstand what Sun Chuanting did, not even Qingqing or Chen Facai.
What is Sun Chuanting's current status in the Ming Dynasty?
A favorite of the current emperor and one of the commanders of the imperial guards, Sun Chuanting was known to everyone for his meteoric rise over the next few decades. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would ascend to one of the top positions very early on, and hold it for many years. No one dared to provoke such a powerful figure.
Sun Chuanting stood up straight and said, "I won't hide it from Miss Qingqing. In fact, this action goes against my principles. In my opinion, it is better to take it with real weapons than to engage in these conspiracies and tricks. The Ming army is fearless. No one can stop the Ming army."
"However, the circumstances this time are somewhat special. I had no other choice but to let Miss Qingqing suffer such injustice. But don't worry, Miss Qingqing. I will report this matter to His Majesty after returning. I believe that in His Majesty's holy name, you will definitely give Miss Qingqing a good home."
After hearing this, Chen Facai quickly bowed to Sun Chuanting and said, "Thank you, Lord Sun."
Nodding, Sun Chuanting said, "This is what I should do."
Chen Facai knew in his heart that if this matter reached the emperor, it would be no small matter. Moreover, it was Sun Chuanting who submitted the petition. To give Sun Chuanting face, the emperor would probably reward her lightly, such as giving her a title or letting her have the same status as his wife.
These are things that Chen Facai dared not even imagine.
"Since you two are involved this time, I might as well tell you something." After sitting down, Sun Chuanting said slowly: "This time, the goal of the Ming Dynasty is to annex the entire Korea."
After hearing this, Qingqing and Chen Facai were both stunned.
Neither of them really expected that the target would be like this?
Although there were some guesses, neither of them could have guessed that it would be such a huge target.
"Because of the existing relationship between Korea and Ming, we can't be open about it. There are some things I can't tell you. But it's enough for you to understand what to do next."
Chen Facai smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Master Sun, you shouldn't have told me this."
"I'm not afraid that Lord Chen will misunderstand me, but I'm afraid that Lord Chen will think that I don't treat you as one of his own." Sun Chuanting said with a smile.
Glancing at Sun Chuanting with a rather resentful expression, Chen Facai said, "After so many years as a businessman and then in government, I know one thing very clearly: the more you know, the less good it does you. Newcomers to government are terrified of not knowing everything, so they spend their days currying favor, scheming, and gathering information. But those seasoned officials are all so slick and cunning that they simply avoid any obstacle."
"It's not that knowing more is always better. You're not trusting me; you're keeping me trapped!"
"Lord Chen has misunderstood," Sun Chuanting said with a smile. "We are all Ming people and ministers of Your Majesty. How can you say such a thing? Why would you want to get away? We are all working for the Ming!"
"I believe that if Lord Chen is truly needed, he will not refuse. I believe in Lord Chen's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and to Your Majesty."
After taking a look at Sun Chuanting, Chen Facai sighed helplessly.
