Chapter 241: Crying
Therefore, whether it was the First Prince, the Fifth Prince, or the Purple Envoy, they all focused their attention on Patriarch Zhang's coma. "Based on Patriarch Zhang's current condition, how long will he likely be in a coma?"
The eldest prince asked anxiously first.
"Seven days is enough for us to get everything done." Chu Ci answered confidently without hesitation.
The eldest prince: ...
Fifth Prince: ...
Even the Purple Envoy looked helpless, complaining in his tone, "Why didn't you bring out such a good thing earlier?"
Chu Ci muttered to herself, could she say she hadn't remembered it at all? But on the surface, she remained calm and responded, "Taking it out early can save a lot of trouble, but in this way, can we still follow the clues and find out who is behind the Zhang family?"
Although it was easy to tell from Chu Ci's slightly evasive expression that she was shirking responsibility.
But they have to admit that it was precisely because of the series of unexpectedly absurd actions by the head of the Zhang family that they accidentally discovered many loopholes that they had not noticed in the hasty investigation, thus gaining a valuable opportunity to make up for and improve them.
Therefore, everyone tacitly ignored the reason why Chu Ci did not take out the pill earlier, and then began to seriously and in-depth discuss the issues related to the conclusion of the incident between the Zhang and Lin families.
Without the existence of the head of the Zhang family, who was like a troublemaker and doing all kinds of evil things, and with the full cooperation of Lin Wentang and his son, all the hidden unknown forces in Meicheng were completely wiped out in just two days.
Because of this, the streets of Meicheng even seemed a little quieter.
As for whether the Zhang family father and son will continue to stir up trouble and do evil after they leave?
Now the Zhang family father and son are almost scared out of their wits.
The reason was simple: the eldest prince released the concubine of the Zhang family's governor.
After Zhang Jiang's sister returned home, she started to scold her brother for a long time. Her words were like a machine gun, one after another, and she didn't give Zhang Jiang any chance to talk back.
"Sister, what did you say? The woman who stabbed me several times was the princess? Even the people who were traveling with her were princes?" Zhang Jiang widened his eyes, his face full of shock, and he could not believe what he heard.
Then, he looked down at the shocking scars on his arms, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, muttering to himself: "Zhang Jiang, ah Zhang Jiang, you are so lucky!"
Then, Zhang Jiang's eyes lit up and she asked, "Sister, how does the Seventh Prince compare to the First and Fifth Princes?"
Until this moment, Zhang Jiang still naively believed that the person they were trying to get close to was the Seventh Prince!
Sister Zhang Jiang felt her vision suddenly go dark. She shouted in anger, "Seventh Prince? Seventh Prince! Even if he's in a difficult situation, how could he have anything to do with merchants like us? They're just a bunch of thugs from the capital!"
Zhang Jiang was stunned by the facts revealed by his sister. He stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
But what frightened him even more was what followed. "And father, this is just a warning. If you continue like this without repentance, they'll come back for real."
"I understand!" Now, even if Zhang Jiang was extremely unwilling in his heart, he could only give up completely at this moment.
However, although Sister Zhang Jiang had vented her anger, she was still uneasy when she thought of the stern warning from the master Chu Ci: "It's good that you know. I have been out for a while, and I have to go back."
Afterwards, he casually explained a few important matters before hurriedly setting out on the journey back to Guiyang.
Of course, the subsequent specific circumstances were reported by the Xiuyi law enforcement officers who stayed in Meicheng through expedited documents.
At this time, Chu Ci and his party had already galloped to the Zhang family where Zhang Pingping was.
Originally, according to their pre-planned arrangements, after dealing with the Zhang and Lin families' affairs, the closest destination should be the Zhou family in Yanzhou where Zhou Haoran was.
However, no one knew whether it was because Zhang Pingping had laid an excellent foundation in the early stages, or whether Zhang Pingping's father had a brain storm, but he suddenly and without any warning wanted to hand over the entire Zhang family to his daughter who had not yet reached the age of marriage.
You know, the Zhang family's Wuzheng Villa is an important place that can produce one-third of the high-quality swords in the Great Zhou.
Adults like Chu Ci and the eldest prince were fine, but little Princess Minghui had been tossed around on horseback for two days straight. Her face was completely pale, devoid of any color.
This really distressed the eldest prince! As soon as he entered the city, he rushed straight to the pharmacy.
But Minghui, a sensible and well-behaved girl, stopped him: "Dad, Minghui is fine. Sister Chu took my daughter's pulse. I'm just too tired. I can recover after finding a quiet place to rest."
The eldest prince also knew that it was best for them to keep a low profile as much as possible.
So he turned and looked at Chu Ci.
Chu Ci muttered to himself, "I'm almost becoming a wet nurse."
Despite his inner complaints, Chu Ci truly felt sorry for Minghui, this well-behaved and sensible little girl. "Don't worry, I'll prescribe a prescription after you settle in. Two doses of medicine will give you a lively and energetic daughter."
But the eldest prince finally calmed down, and Zhang Pingping finally couldn't hold it in any longer. "Sister Chu, when are we going to the Zhang family? I suspect my father might, might..."
At the end, the three words "something happened" seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't say them, but crystal tears flowed out uncontrollably, and Zhang Pingping's shoulders trembled slightly with sobs.
Seeing this, Chu Ci quickly embraced Zhang Pingping, patted her back gently, and said softly, "Don't worry, Pingping. Aren't we already here? You have to trust us. We won't let anything happen to either you or your father."
After venting her anger, Zhang Pingping gradually realized her own loss of composure.
She quickly withdrew from Chu Ci's arms with a blushing face, tried to stop crying, and sobbed, "I'm sorry, Sister Chu, I didn't want to cry. I kept telling myself to be strong, but for some reason, once the emotions came up, I just couldn't help it."
No matter how steady he is, he is still a child!
Chu Ci sighed softly in his heart, but a smile as warm as the spring breeze was on his face. He encouraged softly, "I understand how you feel, Pingping."
"But you have to know that your family's current situation cannot be completely resolved in a short period of time. There is no need to rush."
"So, the most important thing for you right now is to get a good night's sleep, get enough rest, and stay in good physical condition. This way, you can reserve enough energy and physical strength to deal with any difficult challenges that may arise next."
