Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 48 However, She Has Nowhere to Go

Imperial Palace, Chengqian Hall.

Dongfang Guiyi drank tea leisurely, his eyes lightly swept Dongfang Hao.

At this time, he was talking loudly, "Father, my son and I have negotiated with you to avoid Chu Sijiu's death. Now, the Han and Li families have dispatched a large number of assassins to assassinate Chu Sijiu. What do you think?"

Dongfang Guiyi didn't take it seriously, and asked quietly, "Are there only these two?"

Dongfang Hao's eyes darkened, and he replied respectfully, "The ones with solid evidence are these two families."

Dongfang Guiyi pursed his lips lightly, his son did have some strategy, he could clearly distinguish between what he could say and what he couldn't say.

"I negotiated a good deal with you, not to kill Chu Sijiu. Therefore, I really didn't make a move. As for those two families, if Hao'er has evidence, take it to Dali Temple and let them accept it." In this muddy water, he wanted to send him away with a few words.

It's just that Dongfang Hao is not so easy to fool, he said coldly, "The conditions negotiated between the minister and the emperor include the fact that the daughter of the Han and Li families will enter Su Wang's mansion as a side concubine. If there is no skin, how can Mao be attached? If Chu Sijiu is ill, I will send back the legitimate daughters of these two families."

"Back?" Dongfang Guiyi smiled instead of anger, "These two families are powerful, don't you plan for your future?"

Dongfang Hao's eyes tightened, his expression was extremely natural, "If my son can't even protect his own woman, what future is there?"

Dongfang Guiyi narrowed his eyes shallowly, and there was something meaningful in his pupils.

"Have you weighed the pros and cons?"

Dongfang Hao looked resolute, and said calmly, "If the Han and Li families dare to be in the first grade of junior high school, my son will dare to be in the fifteenth grade."

Fuman stood by the side all the time, and gasped when he heard this.

After the downfall of the Chu family, the two families are gaining momentum, and now they are betting the great treasure of the throne on Lord Su, yet he dares to threaten openly.

Are you not afraid that they will turn their guns around and support the other two princes? !

Dongfang Guiyi looked at Dongfang Hao deeply, his eyes were deep, and he couldn't see any emotion.

After a long time, he nodded lightly, "Okay, I will bring the words to you."

At the same time, Chu Sijiu, Liu Wencheng and Dagui were having a conversation in the inner courtyard of Jiuniang Jewelry Shop.

"So, Prince Rui's residence also participated in this assassination?" Liu Wencheng came back to his senses.

Dagui nodded with certainty, "The group of people I followed today entered Prince Rui's mansion after sweeping the floor. I was just about to leave when I saw more than a dozen people in Tsing Yi come out in a hurry. I hurried I quickly chased after them and saw them heading towards the Chu Mansion. I wanted to follow, but the officials from Dali Temple stopped them and refused to let them go."

"Dali Temple is also involved?" Chu Sijiu frowned.

"Second Miss, your current situation is really dangerous. Xiao Su'er told me that among the nuns who were chasing you in the store just now, there must be some who want to kill you." Liu Wencheng had lingering fears.

He regretted it a bit. If he had known earlier, he should form a guard team, and he wouldn't be in such a hurry when things were imminent.

Chu Sijiu groaned silently, his mind was spinning rapidly, weighing the pros and cons.

Liu Wencheng also had ideas, but he always listened to Chu Sijiu, calmed down, and waited for her orders.

"Second miss, Mingyue asked someone below to send you a letter." Xiao Su'er came in from the outside.

It was a little strange for her to see the three of them sitting silently.

Chu Sijiu turned to look at her, "Huh?"

Xiao Su'er handed her an envelope.

Chu Sijiu didn't say much, and opened it directly.

Mingyue's handwriting is very beautiful, and she has written a lot of them in a dense manner. In the brothel, all she met were high-ranking officials and nobles. If you pay attention to their chats, you can hear many unspoken secrets.

This letter is full of news about the Chu family that she has heard these days.

Chu Sijiu was terrified when he saw it, it turned out that this matter involved such a wide range.

"Dagui, go out and look at the shop first." Liu Wencheng would send Dagui away with a wink.

The couple looked terrified, Xiao Suer couldn't hold back, and asked first, "What did Mingyue say in the letter?"

"The people who assassinated me were mainly the Han family, Li family, Prince Rui's residence and Prince Yi's residence. In addition, there are many courts in Yecheng who contributed, partly because of enmity with the Chu family, and partly to curry favor with those four families. In short There are so many nets, if I go out to drink water now, I may die of poison."

Chu Sijiu shuddered when he thought of the poisoned dog.

Both Liu Wencheng and Xiao Su'er were a little dazed, although the Jiuniang Jewelry Store has made a lot of money over the years.But the social status of merchants is very low, how can they be compared with these dignitaries.

"Second Miss, Prince Su is protecting you." Liu Wencheng thought of this key person.

"That's right, that's right, don't compete with Lord Su, life is the most important thing." Xiao Su'er was in a hurry, she knew that Chu Sijiu would not be married, but the situation is urgent now, isn't it? !

Chu Sijiu lowered his eyes and remained silent.

She remembered what Dongfang Hao said to her when she left the mansion, "After going out, if you want to come back, I will allow you to regret it once."

It turned out that he had known for a long time that he had nowhere to go, and only he—Prince Su—Dongfang Hao could protect her.

Chu Sijiu was annoyed, but couldn't tell where the anger was?
After pondering for a while, she decided to arrange that unreliable matter.

Looking at Liu Wencheng, she tentatively asked, "Do I have an income of three hundred gold a month?"

Liu Wencheng didn't expect her to ask this question, and was slightly taken aback, "Second Miss, you are very rich, and three hundred gold is a small amount for you."

Chu Sijiu blinked, "How much money do I have?"

Liu Wencheng touched his head and reported a rough figure, "Jiu Niang can earn you more than [-] gold a year. You didn't take the money you earned a few years ago, so I invested in some shops for you. Every year, you can earn more than [-] gold." About [-] gold was collected. There are also those paintings you painted in your spare time, each of which can sell for [-] gold. In short, you are very rich."

Chu Sijiu half-opened his mouth and put on a bewildered face.

After a while, she nodded, well, God still has a conscience, closed the door for her, and opened a window for her.

Now that I am rich, many things are easier to handle.

"Wencheng, go to the Thousand Buddha Temple outside the city right away, and add 300 taels of gold sesame oil in Shui Hanbing's name."

Liu Wencheng is stupid, 300 taels of sesame oil?

"Second Miss, is there too much?" Xiao Su'er felt sorry for Yin Zi.

"You have to spend money to buy your life."

Chu Sijiu didn't explain it to them in detail. In fact, she didn't know whether the 300 taels of gold would be in vain.

She was really hesitant before, but knowing that she could sell this price for a random painting, she decided to just paint a Bodhisattva portrait for the Thousand Buddha Temple.

"Okay, Second Miss, I'll go now."

Liu Wencheng has a kind of blind trust in Chu Sijiu, after all these years, Chu Sijiu has never let him down.

He found a piece of paper, wrote the word Shui Hanbing, and hurried out the door.

Seeing his leaving back, Chu Sijiu's mental head dropped.

Referring to the situation last night, those killers can rush into the inn to kill, and of course they can also enter the inner courtyard to kill.

Staying here will implicate Liu Wencheng and his wife.

However, she has nowhere to go.

Frowning, she sighed leisurely, is there only one way back to King Su's mansion?

　Liuliu: "My lord, the second male is about to enter the arena. Do you have any ideas?"

　　Prince: "How much money are you willing to bury him alive?"

　　Liuliu: "I want RMB, do you have any?"

　　Prince: "..."
