Chapter 428 I want it now, immediately, right now!
Mu Chengyan didn't expect that Chen Guangzhi would ask him out.
"Go to the city gate? What for?" Mu Chengyan was puzzled.
Chen Guangzhi said: "The palace is too stuffy. There are some things I want to say in a wide place. The city gate is high, the view is good, and looking out at the mountains and rivers in the distance is also a different state of mind."
Mu Chengyan sneered, "It seems that you have come to terms with it."
Mu Chengyan followed Chen Guangzhi to the city gate. The view from above was indeed great.
"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Mu Chengyan stood with his hands behind his back, watching the people coming and going at the city gate with a calm expression.
"I still want to get a divorce letter for my daughter."
Mu Chengyan sneered when he heard this, "I told you, after this is done——"
"I don't want it to be done later!" Chen Guangzhi immediately became excited. "I want it now, immediately, right away!"
Mu Chengyan saw the paranoia in Chen Guangzhi's eyes, but he was not afraid. He gave a look to the servant standing not far away, then looked back at Chen Guangzhi.
"I said, no."
Chen Guangzhi clenched his fists, and the dagger in his sleeve kept hitting his skin.
He felt his whole body was hot!
"But I also said it!" Chen Guangzhi insisted, "I want this divorce agreement!"
Mu Chengyan laughed, "If I just don't give it to you, what can you do to me?"
Chen Guangzhi lowered his brows and a fierce look flashed across his face, but only for a few seconds.
His expression quickly relaxed, and he looked at Mu Chengyan, his knees gradually weakening.
He knelt on the ground, "Mu Chengyan! I beg you, I only have one daughter. When my wife passed away, she told me to take good care of her. I beg you, let her go!"
Mu Chengyan was still a little wary.
Seeing Chen Guangzhi's attitude soften, a look of contempt appeared on his face again. "I told you," he said in a serious tone, "it depends on my mood. If you make me happy, I will naturally consider releasing your daughter. Otherwise, let's talk face to face!"
"Chen Guangzhi, sometimes people have to believe in fate! Do you understand? Your daughter is destined to waste her life with me! Even if she is the daughter of the Chen family, she is no different from the maids in my house. You should be grateful to me. I never touched her from beginning to end. It's not that I didn't want to, but I really-"
Mu Chengyan laughed coldly, "I don't like it!"
Chen Guangzhi lowered his head humbly, and the expression on his face became deeply angry after hearing Mu Chengyan's humiliating words!
He pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed Mu Chengyan fiercely.
Mu Chengyan lowered his brows, dodged, and the dagger scratched the back of his hand, leaving a shallow scar.
"Chen Guangzhi, you are looking for death!" Mu Chengyan growled and stretched out his hand towards Chen Guangzhi.
That day.
The wind is strong.
People come and go in the market.
Someone suddenly pointed in a direction and shouted, "Someone fell from the city gate!"
Chen Meihua happily showed off the candy her father had sent her early in the morning to the entire Cining Palace.
The sweet taste of the candy has not yet melted in my mouth.
Deputy General Gao hurried over to pick them up.
Chen Meihua held Chen Guangzhi's hand tightly and asked tearfully, "Daddy! Who! Who did it? Kill him!"
Chen Guangzhi's mouth was covered in blood. He looked at Chen Meihua and smiled slightly. "My daughter, I'm sorry that Daddy didn't see you get married and didn't put on your wedding dress with his own hands. But it's okay. Daddy knows that the Queen Mother will take care of you."
"This time, it was Daddy who took the wrong path. Don't go and avenge me. This matter will be settled with Daddy's departure."
"Do you remember what Dad told you?"
Chen Meihua nodded immediately, sobbing, "I know. I will listen to Yun Zhao. If she tells me to go east, I will go east. If she tells me to go west, I will go west!"
Chen Guangzhi held on at this moment, and this was exactly what he wanted to hear.
He slowly closed his eyes in relief.
The last scene before his eyes was a blinding sight, and he thought all this was retribution for his actions.
If he had not assisted the tyrant and allowed Mu Chengyan to kill the little emperor, nothing would have happened afterwards.
He deserves to die now.
He went downstairs to apologize to the little emperor.
This thought flashed through his mind, and Chen Guangzhi's hand slowly dropped down.
At the city gate, which was crowded with people, only Chen Meihua's heart-wrenching roar could be heard, "Dad!"
Chen Guangzhi's death was strange. No one knew who was behind it, but he was buried in just two days.
Chen Meihua was devastated, but she still remembered that when Chen Guangzhi left, he held her hand tightly and said, "Go to the Cining Palace and don't come out! The Empress Dowager will protect you!"
Chen Meihua walked into the corridor inside the palace in a daze.
Her heart was in tatters. It wasn't until she saw Yun Zhao that she broke down and cried out, "Yun Zhao, I'm just like you. I don't have a father anymore!"
Yun Zhao let Chen Meihua hug him and cry.
After that, Chen Meihua slept for three whole days.
Three days later.
She knelt at Yun Zhao's door.
Yun Zhao looked at her and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Chen Meihua raised her eyes gravely, "I want to kill Mu Chengyan!"
Yun Zhao was silent for a moment, "With your current ability, I'm afraid it won't work."
Mu Chengyan is the regent, holding the imperial sword and the golden medal of immunity from death. Now that the world is in turmoil, it is indeed difficult to touch him.
Chen Meihua's face no longer had the smile it once had. "I have money, a lot of money."
"Queen, I can cooperate with you."
"I am willing to spend all my wealth to help Xie Jingmo ascend the throne."
Yun Zhao was about to speak.
Then I heard Chen Meihua say, "Perhaps you could first take a look at how much property I have under my name before deciding whether or not to cooperate with me."
That day.
Boxes were carried into the Cining Palace like a stream of water.
Deputy General Gao, Fu Hai, Qi Cai, and even Xie Jingmo were all stunned.
Fu Hai: "Oh my God, these are all account books?"
Deputy General Gao pointed to the pile of boxes on the other side. "The white boxes are account books. One box for each shop. The gray boxes are silver. I heard they're full of gold! The black boxes are antiques. I heard each one is worth a fortune. The green boxes are land deeds. The purple boxes are lists of the shop owners."
Qicai was amazed. "What? A list of shop owners. Does it take so many boxes to store the list?"
Xie Jingmo blinked, "I just counted, there are more than fifty boxes of shopkeepers' lists alone, how many shops does this have?"
Deputy General Gao tutted his words, "I finally understand why they say marrying Chen Meihua means marrying half the empire! No wonder Mu Chengyan wants to control the Chen family. It turns out he's not after Chen Guangzhi, but Chen Meihua! My God, what's wrong with Chen Meihua's brain? How can she make so much money?"
Xie Jingmo couldn't help but sigh, "So, no matter who you offend, don't offend women. When they get ruthless, men really can't handle it."
