Chapter 402 Death Anniversary
"As for the King of Qi, he has already been immersed in the land of gentleness and does not care about Luo Shi. He may even be relieved that Luo Shi took action against me."
All in all, bringing Manfu back to the capital is not a good idea.
"Then... let's just let it go?" Jing Zhao felt a little uncomfortable.
He had followed Chu Jinnian since he was a child, and Jing Zhao could empathize with all that Chu Jinnian had gone through. Now, seeing that Luo was so cruel and ruthless, he was extremely angry.
"Of course not." Chu Jinnian curled the corners of his lips.
He is not a magnanimous person, so how could he forgive his enemies so easily?
"Send the message back and tell them that Prince Qi's mansion is not lively enough and can be more lively."
Luo had been so complacent and arrogant for so many years, all because she relied on the favor of King Qi. She was well aware of this and regarded it as a treasure.
But if Luo lost these, it would be more painful than killing her.
"I understand!" The gloom on Jing Zhao's face disappeared, replaced by excitement.
Hit the snake at its most vulnerable part; his son always understands this principle.
"As for Manfu..." Chu Jinnian's mouth showed a hint of coldness, "Since he is such a useless servant, I think if I send him back, the Luo family will no longer be interested in him, so I'll give him a good home."
Jing Zhao nodded again, "Yes, young master."
Manfu and his parents, one is a steward in the palace, the other is a maid in the palace, both are servants with rich experience and status in the palace of Prince Qi.
But because he was an old servant, his back became stiff.
It is said that when the Princess of Qi was still alive, these two people saw that the Princess of Qi was not favored by the King of Qi, and often did things insincerely and made things difficult for her everywhere. Later, when Chu Jinnian was taken back to the palace by the King of Qi, they treated Chu Jinnian coldly because he had already defected to the Luo family, and they also cursed him behind his back.
On another occasion, following Luo's instructions, he put oleander pollen in the food of Chu Jinnian, who had caught a cold, with the intention of making Chu Jinnian's illness worse, so that the then young Chu Jinnian would die young and without anyone knowing.
Afterwards, all the evidence was completely destroyed by Luo. Even though Chu Jinnian had the support of Concubine Hui, he could not do anything to Luo or those two stubborn servants.
But now, things are different.
Manfu was in their hands. As the instigator, it was only natural that he should suffer the consequences of his own actions.
"In addition..." Chu Jinnian paused, "Send two more secret guards from the capital."
"Yes." Jing Zhao nodded. "I'm sorry that the Third Young Master was frightened this time. We really need to send more people around him to prevent anyone from having bad intentions again."
"I want a woman."
"Yes, yes..." Jing Zhao was stunned for a moment and blinked his eyes, "Young Master?"
Although there were female secret guards who were very skilled, although Chu Jinzhou was young, he was still a man, so there were many inconveniences in using female secret guards.
"Send him to Miss Zhuang."
Chu Jinnian lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Jinzhou was saved by Miss Zhuang this time, so Luo Shi will surely hate Miss Zhuang for this. If Miss Zhuang suffers from this, it will be us who are implicated."
"Sending two people can also prevent some unrelated people from suffering unexpected disasters."
The most important thing is, whether it was this time or the last time, or even the first time I accidentally met Zhuang Qingning, they were all times when Zhuang Qingning encountered various dangers.
Although Zhuang Qingning seems to have some martial arts skills and is stronger than an ordinary woman, her luck seems to be much worse than that of ordinary people.
He would feel more at ease if there was someone protecting him secretly.
"Yes, young master, what you said makes sense." Jing Zhao nodded.
But why did he always feel like the eldest son was explaining something to him? He could just tell him to do it directly, and he wouldn't ask any more questions.
However, since the eldest master is willing to explain, it means that he regards him as a trustworthy person.
Jing Zhao couldn't help but straighten his back slightly.
"Also, give orders. Even if you are with Miss Zhuang, you don't need to interfere in other matters unless Miss Zhuang is in a life-or-death situation. If you encounter a major matter that you are unsure about and have time to discuss, you can report it to me at any time. For other matters, you don't need to report it."
Chu Jinnian said, "In short, Miss Zhuang must not be informed of the secret guards."
She must not know that he arranged it.
"Yes." Jing Zhao took the order and did what Chu Jinnian instructed.
Chu Jinnian picked up the wine glass and took another sip of the slightly sweet osmanthus wine. He picked up the jade disk hanging around his waist and rubbed it gently on his fingertips.
The finest white jade is warm to the touch, and the auspicious cloud patterns carved on it leave a strange feeling on the fingertips.
Chu Jinnian lowered his eyes and pursed his lips slightly.
Chu Jinzhou, who was standing by, was looking at the densely packed turtles on the back of his hand, feeling very depressed. Seeing Chu Jinnian was distracted, he trotted over and leaned his head closer, "Brother, I seem to have seen this jade disk somewhere before."
"Oh, now I remember that my cousin Zhao also seems to have a jade disk like this. Is the one you're holding his?"
"This is something left by my mother." Chu Jinzhou rubbed his head and replied with a smile, "To be exact, it was the dowry that my grandmother gave to my mother. This jade disk originally came in a pair of two pieces, one for my mother and one for my aunt. My aunt's piece was later given to the Fourth Prince, and my mother's piece, for various reasons, was also kept by my aunt."
"I asked my aunt for this jade disk when I went to the palace to pay my respects to her before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"So that's it." Chu Jinzhou nodded his head.
Then, he looked up at the full moon in the sky and sniffed.
After a while, when he lowered his head, his eyes were a little red.
Chu Jinnian pursed his lips.
Chu Jinzhou has almost never seen his mother since he was born, and has been living a hard life amid rumors and gossips. Even with the protection of his maternal grandfather's family, he still cannot have peace.
It was only in these two years that Chu Jinnian grew stronger and was able to provide Chu Jinzhou with a relatively quiet residence in this remote countryside, which made Chu Jinzhou smile more and more every day.
But even with the love of his elder brother, Chu Jinzhou had never experienced the love of his parents since he was a child. When he heard about his mother just now, he must be feeling a little sad.
"On the anniversary of mother's death, I will take you back to Yangzhou to pay tribute to mother." Chu Jinnian pinched Chu Jinzhou's little face, "Jinzhou has grown so tall. Mother will definitely be very happy to see Jinzhou."
"Yeah!" Chu Jinzhou nodded vigorously again.
"Jin Zhou, you haven't come back yet. Are you afraid of losing?" Fan Wenxuan, who was standing aside, was very dissatisfied when he saw the two brothers talking happily but leaving him there alone.
