In the Imperial study of the Imperial Palace.

Zhang Shuming handed the hot tea to Xiao Jin.

“Your Majesty, it will be Prince Jiangning’s birthday in a few days. These are the gifts your servant has prepared on your behalf.”

Xiao Jm paused and casually glanced at the gift list. “Just get them prepared.” “Yes, Your Majesty.”

It is rare for Xiao s.h.i.+jie to come to the capital city to celebrate Prince Jiangning’s birthday. How about this? You can take out some silver from the palace’s coffers and send the money to Prince Jiangning. Tell him to organize this birthday banquet properly. At that time, I will personally attend the banquet to celebrate Prince Jiangning’s birthday.”

Zhang Shuming acknowledged the order repeatedly and sent people to Prince Jiangning’s Residence to pa.s.s on the message. At the same time, he also “accidentally” spread the news outside the palace that the Emperor was going to attend the banquet to celebrate Prince Jiangning’s birthday.

Very soon, all the aristocratic families in the capital city knew of the Emperor’s intentions. Those who had initially kept a respectful distance from Prince Jiangning could only come up to Prince Jiangning to express their desire to attend his birthday banquet.

For a while, Prince Jiangning’s popularity soared, and he was swarmed with many more social gatherings than before.

Chu Min pa.s.sed by the restaurant and saw the drunk Prince Jiangning being helped out of the restaurant. He kept feeling that the way things were progressing was inexplicably strange. It was as if they had been tricked into a big circle. He thought that he had already sidestepped this circle with a clear mind, yet he still felt an indescribable sense of suffocation.

“Hurry up and go back to the residence.”

After returning to Duke Jingguo’s Residence, Chu Min was about to return to the study when he was stopped by a maidservant.

He took a closer look and recognized that this person was serving Chu Yunn by her side.

When a person was worried, he would inevitably be impatient. He frowned and asked with displeasure, “What is it?”

“Eldest Master, Eldest Young Miss said that she has something very important to tell you.”

Chu Min’s brows furrowed even more tightly. What news did Chu Yunn have that could be so important?

Nonetheless, he still followed the maidservant to Chu Yunn’s room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Chu Yunn standing by the window. When she heard the noise, she simply turned slowly to look in his direction. She did not come forward to bow respectfully as usual.

Chu Mm gave a huff and said with displeasure, “Why are you looking for me?” Chu Yunn didn’t rush to speak and only asked the maidservants to go out. Only the father and daughter were left in the room.

Chu Yunn didn’t say anything. She simply took out a longevity locket and a letter.

The moment he saw the longevity locket, Chu Min’s expression turned ominous abruptly!

He had gotten someone to craft this longevity locket which was given to the son he kept outside at the beginning of the year. Why was it in Chu Yunn’s hands?

Chu Min gave Chu Yunn a sinister glare. Before he could speak, Chu Yunn said softly, “Father, you should read the letter first before you speak.”

Chu Min controlled his temper as he picked up the envelope and opened it. He read the letter rapidly.

After reading the letter, his expression changed completely.

“Where did you get these things? Speak!”

Chu Yunn was not afraid of the furious Chu Min at all. “Father, you should know better than me who owns this locket. As for this letter… this letter came from where this locket came from. Father, this was originally your private business, but you and I are family. If someone wants to harm you, as your daughter, I will definitely not sit by and watch idly.”

Chu Min was a little confused by her words. “How did you know about their existence?”

Chu Yunn’s lips curled up, but she was not smiling. “In this world, nothing can be kept under wraps forever. Those two were Father’s blood and kin. Initially, I wanted to help you bring them home, but I heard that woman threaten that not only did she want to return to the Duke’s Residence, but she also wanted to take over the position of the Eldest Mistress!”

Chu Min’s expression turned even more unsightly.

“She’s just a woman who can’t be presented in public. How can I allow her to have her wish? However, this letter is simply too important. I am also worried that she still has something on you, Father, so I pacified her first and secretly brought this letter back.”

Chu Min’s fingers holding the letter had turned somewhat pale. He had personally written this letter to Xiao s.h.i.+jie. He still remembered that when he wrote this letter, he wanted to express his sincerity. Therefore, he had even affixed his seal and the seal of Duke Jingguo’s Residence on the back of the letter.

After he sent the letter out, Xiao s.h.i.+jie returned the letter as a token of his trust in Chu Min.

He didn’t deal with this letter immediately after he received the reply.

Thereafter, he couldn’t find it when he wanted to deal with it.

To his surprise, this letter had fallen into the hands of that woman!

If this letter was handed to the Emperor, he would definitely die!

Chu Min was both angry and fearful. In addition, Chu Yunn had found out what he had been hiding all this while. All the negative emotions surged out at this point, making his face look even more sinister.

Chu Yunn could sense that Chu Min was getting fl.u.s.tered. “Father, don’t be anxious. Now, that I have stabilized that person over there, I believe she won’t do anything for a while. But… this is a hidden danger after all. Father, if you feel sorry for her, then secretly send her away to avoid future problems. As for that child… Initially, Mother wanted to take in a few more concubines for you, Father. After all, you are still young…”

Chu Yunn’s words made Chu Min gradually regain his rationality from his fury. All of Chu Yunn’s words were in consideration of his interests. Of course, she was also a member of Duke Jingguo’s Residence. If anything really happened to him, she would also be doomed. In order to protect herself, Chu Yunn would not lie to him.

That was why women should not be pampered too much. Otherwise, she would not even know what her surname should be!

Chu Min put away the letter. “Don’t worry about this. Father will handle this well. Don’t tell anyone, understand?”

Chu Yunn replied obediently, “Don’t worry, Father. I know.”

Chu Min nodded and turned to leave the room.

Not long after that, Chu Yunn’s maidservant walked into the room and whispered, “Just now, after Eldest Master left Eldest Young Miss’s place, he went straight out of the residence through the back door. It’s already dark outside. I wonder what Eldest Master is doing?”

Chu Yunn laughed scornfully. Of course, he had gone to settle the problem.

That night, Chu Yunn didn’t know when Chu Min returned. However, when she sent someone to check on that private house the next day, it had already been burned to ashes.

There were also two corpses in the house, one big and one small, and two old servants. All of them had died.

By the time the news reached Xiao s.h.i.+jie, it was already half a day later.

His face had darkened so much that it was practically dripping black ink. “Chu

Min, you’re even more ruthless than I imagined!”

Your Highness, Chu Min can no longer be used by us. You should think of a way to escape from the capital city as soon as possible, shouldn’t you?” Back then, in order to win Chu Min over, he had spent a lot of money and resources. How could he simply stop using Chu Min just because Chu Min couldn’t be used any longer? Then Chu Min would really think that he, Xiao s.h.i.+jie, was a pushover!

“Send someone to tell Chu Min to find a way to see me himself. Don’t think that

I don’t have anything on him. At most, we’ll both fight to the death. I can still think of a way to escape back to Jinling City. He can only stay in the capital city and await death!”

Three days later, Chu Min disguised himself as an attendant and went to Xiao s.h.i.+jie.

After the door was closed, Chu Min slowly stood up straight. His burning gaze landed on Xiao s.h.i.+jie.

“Your Highness is really scheming!”
