Chapter 145 The mysterious note
Returning to his own yard, Chu Ci thought of Cang Mo's protection of him just now, and felt very warm deep in his heart.
She personally poured a cup of tea for Cang Mo. Thinking of his instructions just now, Chu Ci couldn't help but worry a little, "You can beat the maids around Princess Jingle to death. After all, they are just Princess Jingle's servants. It's just a matter of replacing them with new ones. But the eldest lady of the Rongguo Mansion——"
Chu Ci paused here, sorting out his words before continuing, "She's different. She's the legitimate daughter of the Duke's family. If she were beaten to death with fifty lashes, it would be hard to explain to the Duke's family, not even to the Emperor."
Cang Mo originally wanted to drink tea, but after hearing Chu Ci's words, he paused and stood there in a daze.
Seeing that he didn't understand, Chu Ci thought he had just thought of this and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"Father!" Cang Mo, who had been standing there in a daze, suddenly spoke with a particularly firm look in his eyes.
Chu Ci was stunned. "Huh?"
"You should call me Father. He has already granted us marriage. You should always remember that he is Father."
Chu Ci's cheeks flushed slightly. "Do you know what the important thing is? Rong Xue's matter is the important thing."
"No, calling you father is the key point. That means you are my fiancée."
"Okay, Father, it's Father, it's okay now, you should think about it quickly so that they can pass on the message, otherwise it will be troublesome if they are really beaten to death."
Prince Rui waved his hand nonchalantly, "She's just a bitch, if she dies, she dies."
When Chu Ci saw him like this, he became anxious and fidgety.
"I was serious."
"It's okay. Lin Feng and the others know that fifty strokes of the cane won't kill her, but it will cost her half her life. Just wait, the news will be here soon."
Chunhua served them the meal and the two of them began to eat properly.
Not long after eating, Lin Feng came running over, "Master, Princess, the young lady of the Duke of Rong's Mansion has become a disabled person. I have only one breath left in her, but she probably won't live for many more days."
Cang Mo nodded, without stopping the chopsticks in his hand that were picking up food for Chu Ci.
Chu Ci thought about his past life. He had also collected the interest, so it seemed that he had to think of a way to take revenge directly.
Cang Mo left as soon as he finished his meal.
A few days later, Chu Ci was sitting on a rattan chair looking at the account book, but not long after he checked the account book, the familiar scene appeared again.
"Miss! Good news!" Chunhua ran in and looked at Chu Ci. Although she was out of breath, she still couldn't hide her good mood.
Chu Ci sat up, looked at Chunhua's happy face, rolled up the account book in his hand, and gently hit Chunhua's forehead, "What good news can it be? Did you find some money when you went out? You won't tell me that you found some banknotes, right?"
Chunhua shook her head. "Master, you don't know. This is much more joyful than finding money." She pointed in the direction of the Duke's Mansion. "There's news over there that the Duke's daughter has passed away. It seems she died of great pain."
Chu Ci looked at Chun Hua suspiciously, "You're not kidding, are you?"
Chunhua quickly shook her head, "Master, this servant is serious. Moreover, Master, the Duke's Mansion has announced that they will fight you to the death."
Chu Ci snorted coldly and reopened the book that had been closed. "Is this what they think now? I've thought so for a long time."
Chunhua looked at her master curiously, and was frightened by the murderous aura on her master. "Master, do you have any deep hatred with the Duke's Mansion?"
Chu Ci put down the account book in his hand, looked into the distance, and said in a long and distant voice, "Both the Rong family and the Chu family must die. If one of them is missing, it would be irresponsible for my silver needles."
Chunhua saw the murderous aura bursting out from her master and took a few steps back in fear. "This servant will remember this."
Chu Ci smiled faintly and suppressed the murderous aura in her body. Last night, she observed the stars and found that the Duke's Mansion was almost destroyed. She would be able to take revenge soon.
The two were discussing which restaurant had the best grilled lamb skewers when Qiuyue barged in. "Master, someone just threw a note into our yard."
Qiuyue opened her palm, revealing a crumpled piece of paper.
Just as Chu Ci was about to open it, Qiuyue stopped her, "Master, please let this servant do it! It would be bad if there is poison in it."
Just as Qiuyue was about to open it, Chuci grabbed her wrist. A warm current flowed into her heart. She shook her head, "If there is poison in it, it's okay for me, but it won't work for you."
Chu Ci took the note and slowly unfolded it, trying to make it vibrate as little as possible.
But when the entire note was opened, Chu Ci checked it and found that there was no poison, but it was full of words.
Chu Ci, do you want to know why the Duke's Mansion has always wanted to marry you? Do you know the secret behind the Chu family? Do you want to know why Lord Chu doesn't love you, given the same parents?
There is a pavilion in the woods outside the city, and you can only come alone.
Chu Ci's face suddenly turned pale, and the things that she had kept in her heart for many years were about to be revealed.
Chu Ci crumpled the note in his hand into a ball and threw it on the ground. "You guys stay here first. I need to go out for a while."
After Chu Ci finished speaking, he walked outside.
Qiuyue quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Master, no, Master, what does it say here? It's too dangerous for you to go out alone. I will follow you."
Chu Ci tried to stop her, "No, you can't follow me. The higher-ups said I have to go alone, so they'll definitely send someone to watch over me."
"Go find Cang Mo and ask him to take people to the place on the note."
After Chu Ci finished speaking, he drove away in his carriage.
Chunhua was left standing there, not knowing what to do.
Qiuyue went over and hugged her, "You stay home and take good care of the house, the master will be fine."
Soon Chu Ci saw the pavilion mentioned on the note from afar.
Chu Ci stopped the carriage and slowly began to move forward, taking out the silver needle in her hand in case of emergency.
Inside the pavilion, it was clear at a glance that there was nothing inside but a few dead leaves.
Chu Ci looked around and didn't see anyone breathing.
Finally, she fixed her gaze on a dilapidated thatched hut not far away.
Chu Ci walked to the door and called out to the room, "Excuse me, is there anyone inside?"
A strange and distant voice came from inside, "Come in!"
Chu Ci looked around and made sure that no one was there before he dared to push the door open and go in.
She pushed the door open and was about to raise her head when she felt a sharp pain on the back of her neck and fell into darkness. Then nothing happened.
