The Wealthy Eldest Sister Rules Supreme-Chapter 415: 402: Death Anniversary

Chapter 415 -402: Death Anniversary

“As for the King of Qi, he is already deep within the pleasure of love, he wouldn’t even care about Mrs. Ruo, perhaps he might even feel comforted if Mrs. Ruo moves to harm me.”

In conclusion, bringing Manfu back to the capital is not a good idea.

“So…are we just going to let this go?” Jing Zhao felt somewhat unable to reconcile himself with this.

He had followed Chu Jinnian from a young age. Every experience that Chu Jinnian had was felt by Jing Zhao. Seeing how cruel and ruthless Mrs. Ruo was, he was filled with indignation.

“Of course not.” Chu Jinnian hooked the corner of his lips.

He wasn’t the type to be magnanimous, how could he let his enemies off so easily?

“Send a message back, saying that the King’s mansion is not lively enough, and they can make it even livelier.”

For years, Mrs. Ruo was arrogant due to the favor of the King of Qi, she knew this well and treasured it.

But if Mrs. Ruo lost these things, that would be even worse than killing her.

“I understand!” Jing Zhao’s face lit up with excitement.

To hit a snake, hit it seven inches up, his young master always understood this principle.

“As for Manfu, if he is such a useless servant, it would not be pleasurable for Mrs. Ruo to have him back. Let’s find a good place for him.”

Jing Zhao once again nodded, “Yes, Young Master.”

Manfu and his parents, one is the steward of the palace, the other is a maid, each of them has deep experience in the Prince’s mansion, and they are prominent servants.

But merely because they are old servants, their backs have become stiff.

It is said that when the Princess Qi was still alive, these two people looked down upon her for not being favored by the King of Qi. They often put on a show of compliance while acting contrary. Afterwards, when Chu Jinnian was brought back to the mansion by the King of Qi, they showed even more disdain and cursed Chu Jinnian behind his back–because they had already sided with Mrs. Ruo.

There was also a time when they took orders from Mrs. Ruo, and added oleander pollen to Chu Jinnian’s food when he had a cold, intending to worsen his illness. Their intention was to let Chu Jinnian, who was still a child, die early, without anyone knowing.

Afterwards, all the evidence was destroyed by Mrs. Ruo. Even though Chu Jinnian had the support of Concubine Hui, he could not do anything to Mrs. Ruo and the two cunning servants.

But now, it’s different.

Manfu is in their hands now, those who initiate a calamity should suffer the consequence, it’s only fair.

“Besides….” Chu Jinnian briefly paused, “send two more secret guards from the capital.”

“Yes.” Jing Zhao nodded, “This time, the Third Young Master was shocked. We indeed need to add more manpower to avoid someone attempting to harm him again.”

“Let it be women.”

“Hmm, yes…” Jing Zhao blinked in confusion, “Young Master?”

Even though there were female secret guards who were skilled, Chu Jinzhou was a young boy, it would not be convenient to have women.

“Assign them to Miss Zhuang’s side.”

Chu Jinnian slightly lowered his gaze and said, “This time, Jinzhou was saved by Miss Zhuang, Mrs. Ruo will surely bear a grudge against Miss Zhuang, if Miss Zhuang received troubles because of this, we are to blame.”

“By sending two people, it can avoid unnecessary troubles for the innocent.”

Most importantly, whether it was this time, the last time or even the first time when he accidentally met Zhuang Qingning—all of them involved Zhuang Qingning experiencing various dangers.

Although Zhuang Qingning seemed to have some martial arts skills and had strength greater than an average woman, she seemed to be more unlucky than most.

If there were people secretly protecting her, he could feel more relaxed.

“Yes, the Young Master makes sense,” Jing Zhao nodded.

However, why did he feel like the Young Master was explaining himself?

He could simply order him to do something, he would not question anything.

However, if the Young Master was willing to explain, then it means that Young Master regards him as someone trustworthy.

Jing Zhao couldn’t help but stand a little taller.

“Also, make sure that even when they are by Miss Zhuang’s side, unless Miss Zhuang is in a life-or-death situation, they don’t need to involve in anything else. If they encounter a major issue that they’re not sure about and have time to discuss, they can report to me. Everything else is not necessary to report.”

Chu Jinnian said, “In short, they must not let Miss Zhuang know about the secret guards.”

And even more so, not to let her know that it was arranged by him.

“Yes.” Jing Zhao complied and did the things according to Chu Jinnian’s orders.

Chu Jinnian picked up the wine cup and took another sip of the slightly sweet osmanthus wine, casually picked up the jade Bi from his waist, gently stroking it with his fingertips.

The finest mutton fat white jade, warm to the touch with carved patterns of auspicious clouds, leaving a strange sensation on his fingertips.

Chu Jinnian lowered his eyes slightly and pursed his lips.

Chu Jinzhou, who was looking at the little turtles on his hand, felt very depressed. Seeing Chu Jinnian in a daze, he ran over and approached Chu Jinnian, “Big brother, this jade Bi, I seem to have seen it somewhere.”

“That’s right, I remember now, cousin Zhao seems to have a jade Bi like this. Is this one yours?”

“This is something left by our Mother.” Chu Jinnian rubbed Chu Jinzhou’s head and answered with a smile. “To be precise, it was given by our paternal grandmother as part of our Mother’s dowry. These two jade Bis originally came in pairs, one for our Mother and one for our aunt. Our aunt’s jade Bi was later given to the Fourth Prince, while our Mother’s jade Bi, for some reason, was kept under our aunt’s care.”

“It was when I went to the palace to pay respect to our aunt before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I asked her for this jade Bi.”

“Oh, I see.” Chu Jinzhou nodded his little head.

Then, looking up at the full moon shining in the sky, he sniffed.

After a while, when he lowered his head again, his eyes were reddish.

Chu Jinnian pursed his lips.

Ever since Chu Jinzhou was born, he had hardly seen his Mother and lived his days in hardship amid rumors. Even though he had the protection of his maternal family, he still could not live in peace.

It was only in these past two years, as Chu Jinnian grew older and more capable, that he managed to secure a relatively quiet residence for Chu Jinzhou here in the remote countryside, that Chu Jinzhou began to smile more day by day.

But despite having such a loving elder brother, Chu Jinzhou had never experienced the love of a parent since he was young. He must have felt rather sad when Mother was mentioned earlier.

“When we observe the anniversary of our Mother’s death, I will bring you back to Yangzhou to pay our respects.” Chu Jinnian pinched Chu Jinzhou’s little face, “Jinzhou has grown so tall, our Mother must be very pleased if she saw you.”

“Yes!” Chu Jinzhou nodded vigorously.

“Jinzhou, are you not coming back because you’re afraid of losing?” Fan Wenxuan, who was on the side, looked discontented when he saw the two brothers talking cheerfully and left him alone.
