Chapter 353 Preparations before Leaving
Nie Zuming, the Minister of Rites who had suffered losses repeatedly at the hands of Chu Ci, was so angry that he trembled all over. He threw the teacup in his hand to the ground and roared: "What's the point of raising a bunch of good-for-nothings like you!"
Compared with the two ministers who were furious and furious.
Prince Li and Marquis Wucheng laughed after learning Chu Ci's response.
Prince Li stroked his beard, his eyes full of admiration, and said slowly: "As expected of Princess Yixin, you are so smart and clever, it is really admirable."
"Faced with such a situation, he was able to maneuver skillfully and turn passivity into initiative. This is truly rare."
Wu Chenghou also nodded in agreement, and said seriously: "Yes, some people are stretching their hands too far! They don't really think that the emperor is taking revenge on Princess Yixin! How stupid."
Wu Chenghou paused here, frowned slightly, and asked with a slightly worried look: "Your Majesty, are we really not going to do anything?"
Prince Li did not answer, but looked at Marquis Wucheng with a deep gaze and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Have you seen the one from the Feng family move?"
But Wu Chenghou was not convinced. He stepped forward and asked anxiously, "But they sent their daughter there?"
Prince Li just looked out the window and did not answer.
His eyes were deep and distant, as if he was thinking about more complex and long-term things. He did not immediately respond to Wu Chenghou's urgency.
After a long while, Prince Li spoke slowly: "Yes, by Feng Yan's generation, there is only one girl left in the Feng family..."
Chu Ci had no idea that his prank had slapped so many people in the face and disrupted so many people's plans.
After returning home, Chu Ci took advantage of everyone's inattention to sneak some jewelry in the space.
Then he told Jiang Li to tell the maid: "Take your people to sort out the things bought today as soon as possible, and pick out fifteen sets of similar treasures, jewelry, writing brushes, inkstones, and inkstones."
Jiang Li immediately understood Chu Ci's meaning, bowed slightly, and asked respectfully: "Princess, after you have sorted them out, will you send the things directly to the young ladies and masters?"
"Do I need to report this to Madam first? Is this an extra portion?"
Chu Ci thought for a moment, pursed his lips and said, "It's for the little kid of the Chu family. After you sort it out, have someone send it over! Well, make a little noise so that everyone knows how much this princess cares about the Chu family."
Jiang Li's eyes sparkled when she heard that, and the corners of her mouth rose as she responded, "Yes, Princess, I understand, and I will definitely do it according to your instructions."
But I guess Chu Ci will use his identity to protect the Chu family before leaving.
The Chu family father and sons began to worry about gains and losses.
"Dad, these gifts?" Chu Junlin frowned and asked with a troubled look on his face, "Should I accept these gifts or not?"
"I want..." Before the second word "want" came out, Zhang Ying, with a smile on her face, enthusiastically pulled Jiang Li's hand and said, "Come in, come in."
After welcoming Jiang Li into the yard, he packed some of the eight-treasure cake he had made for Jiang Li.
Then he said sincerely: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. We can't help you much."
"But please rest assured, my lady. I will make sure Haoyu studies hard. I will not let you down in the future."
"This is the Eight Treasures Cake that I made myself. Please bring it back to the princess for her to try."
The Chu family father and son were all angry and anxious, their faces flushed, but they dared not say anything because of Chu Ci's identity and temperament.
In the end, Chu Xia Xiong could only focus on his eldest son Chu Junyi.
He came close to Chu Junyi and said in a low voice: "Boss, how about you go and persuade your wife? Don't be so rash. Chu Ci is leaving, but we still have to live in the capital."
Although Chu Junyi understood his father's panic, he really couldn't understand his father's train of thought.
He frowned and thought helplessly: Or maybe the side effect of the poisonous insect is that it affects people's IQ.
Thinking of this, Chu Junyi sighed heavily and said seriously: "Dad, our Chu family is now a group of ants in the capital. But in the Fan family, Mr. Fan has resumed his position as the Grand Tutor."
Chu Xia Xiong was embarrassed when he heard this, but he didn't want to admit that he was wrong, so he glared at Chu Junyi fiercely.
He stiffened his neck and pretended to be calm, then he put his heart back into his stomach and casually said, "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, go back to my room and lie down for a while."
After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry, his steps seeming a little flustered.
No matter how you put it, it's quite disdainful.
Therefore, Jiang Li couldn't help but grumble about Zhang Ying's difficulties in front of Chu Ci for a long time when he returned, "Princess, it's really not easy for Zhang Ying to be in the Chu family."
"I went to deliver something today. As soon as I entered the Chu family's door, I saw her busying around. She was busy taking care of household chores, and then dealing with the two difficult parents and brothers-in-law of the Chu family."
"That's it. She was very grateful for the gift you gave her. She held my hand with tears in her eyes and kept promising that she would teach Chu Haoyu well and live up to your kindness."
Chu Ci had already expected this and didn't ask any further questions.
Instead, he wanted to know if Chu Junyi had changed now that the Chu family was like this. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? What about Chu Junyi? How did he treat Zhang Ying? Did he make things difficult for Zhang Ying?"
Jiang Li thought about it and said seriously: "That's not the case. In my opinion, the Chu family is now acting according to the mood of your sister-in-law!"
"Then your lady has quite a bit of majesty as the mistress of the Chu family. She arranges everything in an orderly manner, whether it is the big or small affairs of the family or the interpersonal relationships."
"Your eldest brother also listens to her and follows her wishes in everything. Whenever she has an idea, your eldest brother fully supports it."
Chu Ci thought about it, took out another thousand taels, and said solemnly: "Go to the Chu family again."
"This time, I'll give it to Zhang Ying quietly. Tell her that this is a little gift from me. Let her take the money and don't let herself be wronged. If anyone from the Chu family dares to bully her, let her send a letter to me."
Jiang Li followed Chu Ci later.
Therefore, it has always been believed that Chu Ci was using Zhang Ying.
did not expect?
So he hesitated for a long time before saying, "Princess, aren't you afraid of giving all the thousand taels to your sister-in-law?"
Although Jiang Li had good intentions, she had overstepped her bounds. Chu Ci's face immediately fell, his eyes were cold, and he said sternly: "Just go if I tell you to go, why are you talking so much nonsense!"
"If you don't want to, I can change people. I know how to do things properly, and it's not your turn to comment."
Chu Ci rarely uses his status to pressure others, especially when it comes to those around him. Chu Ci is even more easy-going. Usually, it’s all you and me, but this time...
Jiang Li's face turned pale: "Princess, please calm down. I was the one who said too much. I will do it right away and will not let you down."
