He placed the note and 1,500 taels of silver in the designated area of the Dark Alliance and went home to wait for news.
......
The capital city.
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Consort Jiang took the initiative to suggest that Xiao Yanchu go to Yanyang to visit Yi'er and spend the Lantern Festival with him.
Just as Xiao Yanchu was about to set off, an urgent military report came from the border: the Northern Li Kingdom had mobilized a large number of troops to be stationed on the border of Northern Chu, and he had no choice but to rush to the border.
The news that Princess Fengxi had been rejected by the Regent on the spot had already spread throughout the capital.
Some people felt sorry for the Regent, but many more secretly mocked Princess Fengxi for overestimating herself, since she wasn't the only one who wanted to marry into the Regent's household.
After this incident, everyone in the capital knew that the Empress Dowager intended to marry Princess Fengxi to the Regent, and no one dared to propose marriage to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion anymore.
During this period, Princess Fengxi did not attend any banquets held in the capital.
Rumors circulated that Princess Fengxi was so heartbroken after being rejected by the Regent that she fell ill and was bedridden.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Princess Fengxi was summoned to the palace by the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager praised her for caring about the common people and having a benevolent heart. She secretly donated 10,000 taels of silver to the people of Qingyang City who suffered from snow disaster.
For this, the Empress Dowager bestowed many fine things upon the princess.
After the princess left the palace, the palace eunuchs carried the gifts bestowed by the Empress Dowager and followed her all the way back to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion.
After this incident, Princess Fengxi became a living bodhisattva in the eyes of the people, and many people began to stand up for her, secretly cursing the regent for being blind and failing to appreciate such a good girl.
......
Su Ruojin didn't know that "Young Master Jiang" had gone to the border. She just thought he was busy and didn't have time to come see Xiaobao, so she didn't pay any attention to it.
However, when she saw the letter from the Dark Alliance, she smiled.
The smile didn't reach his eyes; instead, there was only a chilling coldness in them.
Cai Fanzhou actually wanted the Dark Alliance to kill her.
Feng Ying was furious: "Miss, why don't we have someone take Cai Fanzhou away..." At this point, Feng Ying made a gesture of raising her hand to wipe her neck.
Su Ruojin raised her hand: "Ignore it, the deposit is not refundable."
She needs to think carefully about how to repay Cai Fanzhou for this "generous gift".
Su Ruojin tapped her fingers on the table incessantly, then stopped after a while and instructed, "Fengying, go and bring over the family members of the patients Cai Fanzhou once treated to death, and also let Cai Fanzhou's wife know that he has a mistress who has given birth to a son and a daughter."
The Dark Alliance had sent Cai Fanzhou's information to Su Ruojin a long time ago. Originally, as long as Cai Fanzhou obediently played his role as the Divine Physician Yanyang and didn't bother her, Su Ruojin wouldn't bother with him.
He's just a clown; he can't cause any real trouble.
But to my surprise, he actually wanted to hire the Dark Alliance to kill her. Since they wanted her dead, I couldn't just do nothing.
If that were to happen, and the other masters found out, they would probably all drag her back and re-teach her what it means to say: "I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will surely kill them!"
"Yes, Miss." Feng Ying withdrew and carried out the order.
Cai Fanzhou waited for several days but did not hear any news of Su Ruojin's accident. He became anxious and spent eighteen taels and eighty cents to go to the gambling house to find the contact person of the Dark Alliance.
But this time, after sending the signal, no one contacted him again.
He had no choice but to comfort himself that perhaps the Dark Alliance needed to make arrangements, and that a few nights were normal.
That night, Cai Fanzhou went to his concubine's room to rest. He had only been in the middle of things when the door was kicked open.
Terrified, Cai Fanzhou immediately became listless and lay on top of his concubine.
When he looked towards the door, he couldn't help but get angry.
