Chapter 173: Accident? Coincidence
When the people present heard this, they all looked shocked and were obviously very surprised by this statement.
But Chu Ci was more concerned about: "If it is really as the Taoist said, then does that Mr. Su know about it?"
Doctor Hua stroked his beard and said after a moment's silence, "Well, in my opinion, perhaps we really need to find a suitable time to personally check Mr. Su's pulse."
"You are suspecting...that Mr. Su..." Chu Ci's gossip was stirring in his heart.
However, just when everyone was thinking about how to allow Doctor Hua to take Mr. Su's pulse smoothly without alerting him.
However, Linglong was still as straightforward and rude as before. She frowned slightly, crossed her arms over her chest, and had a hint of impatience on her face. "Why do you think this is so complicated?"
"Whatever he was originally like, we can just shape him into what we want him to be."
While Linglong was talking, she was leisurely playing with a small, delicate, white and plump poisonous insect in her hand.
Chu Ci's eyes lit up instantly, and he began to ask, "Can such a cute insect actually sterilize a man?"
It was rare to see Chu Ci not afraid of the insect in her hand, so Linglong nodded excitedly. "Do you want to play with it? Xiaobai really likes you."
Chu Ci did feel a little moved at that moment.
However, just a moment later, I remembered the strange and unexpected functions of these insects.
Chu Ci tried hard to suppress the excitement that had just surged up in his heart: "No, the important thing now is business."
When Linglong heard this, a flash of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but it was only for a moment. She quickly continued, "What do you think of my proposal?"
Chu Ci was quite fond of Linglong's proposal. "I think this proposal is feasible. What do you think?"
"Sure." Qianxue and Qianyan said almost in unison.
They have always followed Chu Ci's lead. They usually express their support and endorsement for Chu Ci's decisions and ideas without hesitation, and rarely raise any objections.
Although Taoist Yunshang felt that doing so was a bit risky, he did not say a word considering Linglong's mastery of playing with Gu.
It's just that sometimes plans can't keep up with changes.
Before Chu Ci and the others took any action, the guards around Minghui hurriedly found Chu Ci.
"What did you say? Princess Minghui fell into a coma for no apparent reason on her way home, and was then taken back to the Su family by the eighteenth young lady?"
Chu Ci couldn't believe what she heard and immediately broke into soprano.
The guard shuddered and said, "Yes, yes."
Chu Ci couldn't help but roll his eyes. "What about you? As the princess's guard, where were you at that time?"
"And Minghui has more than just you as a guard, right? How could this happen?"
"How did you manage to be such a guard? Why did you allow Minghui to fall into the hands of others? What were you doing at that time?"
Chu Ci kept complaining about the guards, but in his heart he was secretly blaming himself.
Of course, Chu Ci had never expected that the Su family did not take any action against him or even the three sisters of the Fan family, but instead set their sights on the little Minghui.
"The other brothers all fainted at that time." The guard who came to report the news had a look of regret and disbelief on his face. He really couldn't believe that he had been tricked so easily.
"I don't know what those servants from the Su family spread. After just one encounter, everyone fainted without any warning."
Chu Ci frowned slightly and said, "How can you know that he is the servant of the Su family after just one encounter?"
"They left a note." Only then did the guard who reported the news wake up as if from a dream and slowly and hesitantly handed over the not-so-big note that he had been hiding tightly on his body.
When Chu Ci saw this situation, he was speechless and felt helpless and depressed.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then said seriously to the guard who reported the news, "Okay, go take care of the other people who fainted first."
"As for Princess Minghui, I will definitely find a way to get her back, don't worry." After saying this, Chu Ci's eyes revealed a hint of firmness and determination.
On the other side, at the Su family.
Yan Yaqin quietly looked at the little person lying on her bed, with a complicated expression on her face and a rare hint of guilt in her eyes.
However, she tried hard to convince herself in her heart, telling herself that all this was for her son, for his prospects and future, and that everything she did was worth it.
"Master, are you sure that Chu Ci's daughter will obey us for the sake of a little girl who has no relatives or friends?" Yan Yaqin frowned slightly, with some doubt in her eyes.
But Master Su snorted coldly, and then said, "Do you know the true identity of this little girl?"
Yan Yaqin shook her head slightly, and Master Su became even more arrogant. He continued, "She is the eldest daughter of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, Princess Minghui. Therefore, even if Chu Ci doesn't want to save her, he has to save her."
"Princess? This little girl is a princess?" Yan Yaqin's face was full of shock and disbelief after hearing the news.
At this moment, her mind went blank, and then a strong sense of panic spread throughout her body, and her legs involuntarily went limp.
Fortunately, the nanny beside her was quick-witted and supported her in time, otherwise, in her current state, she would have fallen to the ground.
Because of this, she missed the flash of contempt in Master Su's eyes.
Therefore, Yan Yaqin's heart was still tied to Master Su. "Master, Jinghua's health is important, but you are even more important to the Su family!"
"Or, let's just send the princess back. At worst, I can go and beg her again."
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, the sinister look on Master Su's face, which had been slightly restrained, was instantly revealed.
Then he said to Yan Yaqin in a stern voice: "Yan Yaqin, you must remember this master firmly. This girl was rescued by Eighteen. Even if the king of heaven comes, you must say so."
Although Yan Yaqin was terrified, she subconsciously obeyed her husband and said hurriedly, "I know that Xiao Shiba only brought the little girl who fainted on the road back to the mansion for treatment out of kindness. All of this is just a coincidence."
