1032 Kneeling down to apologize is useless, but what is the use of laws?
Unfortunately, once missed, it was missed. No matter how much he regretted it, the Ninth Prince would never take Feng Qingchen out to be killed again.
Young Master Lu tried hard to calm his anger, straightened his clothes, returned to the inner courtyard to ask the head of the Lu family for help, and prepared to go to Huayuan to apologize. However, he didn't expect that the Ninth Prince was one step ahead of him. Before everyone in the Lu family left the house, he sent a huge gift to the Lu family, a gift that made the entire Lu family uneasy!
The Ninth Prince found out what happened at Feng Qingchen's birthday party that night, but in his opinion, punishing the murderer behind the scenes was more important than not rescuing Feng Qingchen. As long as Feng Qingchen was safe, he would have plenty of time to settle accounts with those people.
As for the Killer Alliance or something like that, the Ninth Prince ordered all the killers who had assassinated Feng Qingchen that day to be skinned alive, leaving only a breath, and then threw their skins together to the place where the Killer Alliance took business.
You can kill Feng Qingchen, but it’s better to have the confidence not to fall into his hands. This is the fate of these people.
Although the Ninth Prince's action was bloody and violent, and made the people in the Killer Alliance very angry and felt that their dignity was challenged, it did shock quite a few people, causing some killers who wanted to target Feng Qingchen to immediately give up the idea.
Hundreds of thousands of taels of gold are indeed tempting, but the prerequisite is that you have to live to enjoy it. They should just take ordinary cases honestly, at least they don’t have to worry about not being able to die.
There are many killers who have this idea. After all, the Killer Alliance is just a loose organization, and the major killers have never united. Even if there are some arrogant killers who want to challenge the top bounty on the list, they have no plans to do so in the short term.
The Empress and the like... this is a bit troublesome. After all, she is not in the capital. In addition, with the case of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ninth Prince does not want to disrupt the government of Dongling in the short term, so he has to let the Empress go for the time being. However, this account will still be settled in the future.
There were four groups of people who took action that day. Tai Cheng taught them a lesson first, and only the Lu family was left. As the Lu family was the one who provoked the incident, how could the Ninth Prince go back? As soon as he arrived at Huayuan, he asked someone to send the generous gift he had prepared long ago to them.
This generous gift was none other than the skeletons of the two maids who had attacked Feng Qingchen that day. These two maids were buried in Huayuan by the Lu family.
Sending the bodies of these two people to the Lu family is to tell the Lu family that he already knows about this matter and he will not let it go. At the same time, it is also to tell everyone in Shandong what the Lu family did at Feng Qingchen's birthday party.
Not long after the bodies of the two maids were sent out, the head of the Chen family came to Huayuan with his entire family. They did not ask to see the Ninth Prince, but just knelt at the gate of Huayuan and apologized to the Ninth Prince.
From an eighty-year-old woman to a child under one year old, a total of sixty-five people knelt outside Huayuan, with a humble look on their faces...
The Chen family was the most worried about the incident at Feng Qingchen's birthday banquet, because the servants in Huayuan were arranged by the Chen family, and the two maids who committed the crime against Feng Qingchen were also servants of the Chen family. The Chen family had a hard time during this period, fearing that the Ninth Prince would be angry, but they did not dare to go to the door, so they could only wait in fear to see how the Ninth Prince would punish them. After the "big gift", the head of the Chen family breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately brought the whole family to apologize.
"The Chen family is really smart." The Ninth Prince was not surprised at all when he heard the news. Instead, Feng Qingchen, who was lying on the bed, was puzzled: "Didn't you send the body to the Lu family? Why are the Chen family asking for forgiveness?"
"Shouldn't I punish him for employing people without checking them?" If it weren't for those two maids, Feng Qingchen wouldn't have been abducted by the people of Taicheng, let alone suffered this pain.
"You are venting your anger on others. Let's stick to the facts. This matter has nothing to do with the Chen family." Feng Qingchen had a good impression of the head of the Chen family. He was good at scheming, had good foresight, and was determined enough. Such a person was admirable. He would definitely be a hero if born in troubled times.
"The royal family is best at venting their anger on others, otherwise how could there be a punishment of nine crimes? But considering that they are practical, I will spare them this time." The main reason was that Feng Qingchen spoke up, otherwise the Ninth Prince would not have let the Chen family go.
The Chen family in Shandong was of little use to him.
"Ninth Uncle is wise." Feng Qingchen said in a flattering manner.
"I am not wise. If I were wise, I would not be schemed against by the Lu family. Today, I want to see what kind of people are in the Lu family." The Ninth Prince narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Feng Qingchen was puzzled at first, but then he understood, his eyes lit up: "So you sent the bodies of the two maids back to the Lu family to force the person in charge of the Lu family to come forward, but... the Chen family is also very smart, and they can actually guess your thoughts. The Chen family apologized as a whole family, and the Lu family, as the object of your rebuke, if they want to apologize, even if they are unwilling, they can't be worse than the Chen family, at least they have to kneel outside Huayuan."
"Well, the move by the head of the Chen family is in line with my heart. I have been in Shandong for so long, but I have not yet met the real person in charge of the Lu family. The Lu family does not act like ordinary nobles and merchants. I am very curious about the person in charge of the Lu family." The Ninth Prince originally just wanted to use the bodies of the two maids to force the head of the Lu family to come forward, but he did not expect the Chen family to do such a thing. I have to say...
The head of the Chen family was a wonderful person and saved him a lot of trouble.
"The Lu family is indeed cautious and ruthless in their actions. They are no worse than Prince Luo and his men, or even more ruthless. But will the Lu family really be like the Chen family and kneel outside Huayuan to apologize to you?" Feng Qingchen was very skeptical.
A family that dares to challenge the prince of the current dynasty is definitely a proud family. Would such a person easily bow his head and do such a shameful thing?
"If you can endure what others cannot endure, you can do what others cannot do. The Lu family has great ambitions, and those who accomplish great things must be those who are good at forbearance. If the Lu family does not come to apologize, I will not take them seriously." People who are blindly cruel are not scary. The scariest thing is those who forbear and give in when they see that cruelty is useless.
Through the events of Xiaoqishan Gold Mine and Taicheng, the Ninth Prince believed that the Lu family was the latter. As long as he was given a chance, the Lu family would jump up and bite him.
"So, I'm actually looking forward to the Lu family coming to apologize." Feng Qingchen curled her lips slightly, and a charming light flashed across her beautiful face.
"Soon..." The Ninth Prince had just opened his mouth when the servant outside the door said, "Your Highness, the head of the Lu family and the entire Lu family are kneeling outside to apologize to Your Highness."
“It came really quickly.”
"It seems that the Lu family has been prepared for this."
The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen spoke one after the other, then they smiled at each other, with mysterious light flashing in their eyes.
The Ninth Prince blinked his eyes, collected his thoughts, stood up and said to Feng Qingchen, "Come, accompany me to meet the Lu family. They hurt you, so it's only right for them to kneel down at your feet and apologize."
"Apologize?" Feng Qingchen said sarcastically, "If kneeling is useful, then what's the point of laws? But since the Lu family likes to kneel, let's go and see..."
The Lu family had been so patient, she wanted to see who the person in charge of the Lu family was, and she wanted to see how elegant the head of the Lu family, who indirectly killed her father, was...
