Chapter 171: Delicate Miss Jin
Chapter 171: Delicate Miss Jin
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the princess to be so decisive.
Just as she was about to swing the reins, Aunt Li knelt down in front of the carriage and said, "Miss, I know this incident was Chu Yue's fault, but you have to know that those men in black were not her fault. She doesn't have that much power."
"Ok, I know."
Chu Ci's voice was calm and emotionless.
Aunt Li saw that Chu Ci did not give in, and she kept kowtowing to Chu Ci, "Miss, the Third Miss is a girl, and she has been imprisoned for such a long time. It's enough. Please let her go."
Chu Ci lifted the car curtain and looked at the two shadowy figures with amusement, "So many people want to kill me, facing so many people chasing me, but I am fine."
"But at this critical moment, I didn't expect my third sister to come up with a surprise attack and stab me from behind. Fortunately, I dodged quickly, otherwise you would have a corpse in front of you."
Aunt Li was speechless for a moment. She knew that it was Chu Yue's fault.
"Mrs. Li, a concubine's daughter, attempted to murder my elder sister. Even according to the law, it is a capital crime. Not to mention, if this matter were to get out, my third sister's reputation would be completely ruined."
"Such a great sin, such an important matter, I will forgive you if Concubine Li kneels down and kowtows a few times. Isn't Concubine Li too proud of herself? How about this, I am shameless and I will kneel down and kowtow to Concubine Li. Concubine Li, take your daughter and die directly, okay?"
Aunt Li was speechless after being confronted by Chu Ci. She didn't know what to say next and could only pin her hopes on the man beside her.
Aunt Li looked at Marquis Chu with eager eyes. Marquis Chu flicked his sleeves and turned his head to the side.
Seeing that Lord Chu didn't want to intervene, Aunt Li said pitifully, "Master, Xiaoyue is the only one in our Chu family who can be of use to you now. You can't control the eldest lady and the eldest young master. Now the only one you can use is Xiaoyue."
Lord Chu pondered for a moment. The Chu family was indeed in this situation now, so he could only reluctantly agree.
He looked at Chu Ci and said, "Okay, Chu Yue was wrong in this matter. I will ask Xiao Yue to apologize to you when we return home."
Chu Ci didn't say anything, just looked at them coldly, thinking too much about good things.
Lord Chu felt irritated when he saw Chu Ci like this. He couldn't control his daughter in front of him, and she always had unexpected things happening to her. "What do you want to do?"
Chu Ci thought about it and realized that she seemed to be short of money recently. If she had money, she wouldn’t have to touch the Tianji Sect’s money.
Chu Ci looked at his hands, then pinched all five fingers together.
Lord Chu looked at it for a long time without understanding, "What do you mean?"
"Money is tight."
Lord Chu almost vomited blood, "How much do you want?"
"one hundred."
"I gave it to you!" Aunt Li said generously, and then she took out a silver note of one hundred taels from her sleeve. The silver note was full of wrinkles, and it was obvious that someone had taken it out to look at it frequently, and it was folded back and forth, causing so many wrinkles.
Chu Ci looked at the wrinkled hundred taels of silver, her eyes darkening. This should be all she had, at least it was not a small amount for her. "Ten thousand, one million taels of silver."
Lord Chu grabbed Aunt Li's wrist and left. In his heart, he thought that Chu Yue was not worth so much money.
Aunt Li broke free from the restraints of Marquis Chu, ran to Chu Ci and kowtowed continuously, begging Chu Ci to let Chu Yue go, because she knew that Marquis Chu would not pay the one million taels.
"Miss, as long as you go and plead with the Third Miss, His Royal Highness Prince Rui will let her go. As long as you are willing to speak up, I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life. I only ask that you show some mercy."
Aunt Li was unwilling to give up. Seeing that Chu Ci didn't say anything, she turned back to look at Marquis Chu and grabbed his wrist with both hands. "Master, Xiaoyue is the future of our Marquis Chu Mansion. The second young master is already a cripple. Can you still count on him?"
Chu Ci yawned loudly. It was so late, she was really sleepy and tired.
After Aunt Li finished speaking, she saw Chu Ci yawning and was afraid that she would leave. She couldn't help shaking the hand that was holding Marquis Chu's wrist, "Master, this money is for the future of the Marquis's Mansion. If Chu Yue finds a good family in the future, money will be a small matter, right?"
"What's important is the Marquis's official career and the future of the Marquisate."
Lord Chu thought about it and painfully took out one million taels from his pocket and handed it to Chu Ci, "Release him."
Chu Ci looked at the banknotes back and forth, then kissed her fiercely, "Auntie Li, this is the last time. If it happens again in the future, the consequences will be a hundred times more severe than now."
"Just wait, she'll be out soon, Lin Feng, if they don't let her through, just run into her."
Lin Feng whipped the horse hard, and the horse raised its front hooves and started charging forward.
Upon seeing this, Lord Chu pulled Aunt Li to the side and almost bumped into her.
Watching the carriage going farther and farther away, Lord Chu felt so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but thinking that Chu Yue was the future hope of the Chu Mansion, he could only do this.
Aunt Li looked eagerly in the direction of Prince Rui's mansion. She didn't see Chu Yue for a long time and kept muttering in her heart, wondering if Chu Ci was lying to them.
After Lin Feng drove the carriage out of the sight of Marquis Chu, his face was full of excitement. As expected, she was the princess and he was just a guard.
There is a reason why she can become a princess.
"Princess, you're quite skilled. You must have done this often before, right? You must have a lucky charm. With just a few words, you managed to swindle so much money."
Chu Ci reached out and slapped Lin Feng lightly on the head. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm the delicate daughter of a wealthy family. I can't lift anything with my shoulders or hands. You're ruining my reputation by doing this."
"Also, please pay attention to whether there are any accidents in the homes of the adults recently. The men in black have suffered such a great loss, I don't believe they can swallow this anger."
When the princess described Lin Feng as a delicate daughter of a wealthy family, what came to his mind was a picture of her hand being stained with a poisonous silver needle, and how she could use that needle to take a life.
Jiao didn't notice it, but Didi did. Those men in black must be bleeding hearts right now.
"Yes, princess."
"Princess, if Lord Chu returns and finds out that you had already agreed to release Chu Yue, and that you cheated him out of a million taels, will he come after you?"
Chu Ci snorted coldly, "Chu Yue doesn't dare to say it. She doesn't dare to say the reason behind this."
