Chapter 519: Madness

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The head of the Cheng family, Cheng Sheng, had already arrived at the capital.

Cheng Sheng had an audience with Chu Yuhao and learned that the Eldest Prince and his wife had died of illness. When Cheng Sheng heard this, he followed the eunuch to see the “Eldest Prince and his wife” for the last time with a pained expression.

When Cheng Sheng returned to his residence in the capital, his trusted steward went forward and reported, “Master, there’s news from Tongzhou. The matter you ordered to investigate has been investigated.”

“Tell me,” Cheng Sheng said with a dark expression.

The steward bowed and said, “Master, the Zhou and Li families originally lived in West Mountain Village on Green Mountain. The stewards under Lord Zhou are skilled in martial arts. Madam Li is extremely strong and knows how to kill.

“In the year of the disaster, the two families brought the villagers out to escape.

Halfway through, they fought with someone in a forest and were saved by Shen Yu, who was passing by. The people who fled were brought back to Tongzhou by Shen Yu’s personal attendant, Shen Wu, and placed at the foot of Phoenix Town’s Phoenix Mountain.”

The steward paused for a moment and continued, “Not long after, Madam Li planted high-yielding rice seeds. Chu Sihai went to Phoenix Village to see her and the two sides began to cooperate to sell rice seeds… Lord Zhou rose all the way to the top. After returning to the capital, they acknowledged the Hanlin Academy’s Grand Secretary, Lin Zexu… The Zhou family’s children were also personally given names by His Majesty. They were rewarded at all times. Lord Zhou is His Majesty’s trusted official. Everyone in the capital knows that.”

Halfway through, the Zhou family was saved by Shen Yu. Shen Yu even instructed Shen Wu to bring them back to Tongzhou. Would Shen Yu be so kind? It was more likely that Madam Li and the others had helped Shen Yu.

As he muttered to himself, he recalled the year of the drought. The Imperial Consort had sent people to kill the Third Prince, who had fled to Tongzhou to seek refuge with Shen Yu. She had not succeeded, but all the suicide soldiers she had sent had been killed.

It seemed that Madam Li had brought the three stewards to save the Third Prince. No wonder she was conferred the title of Madam Protector of the Nation and Zhou Jia was favored.

Ever since His Majesty and the Imperial Consort passed away, the Eldest Prince had already declined. Now that the Eldest Prince was dead, it was even worse. The families who had originally tried to curry favor were avoiding him.

Cheng Sheng thought hatefully that these were the people who ruined the plans of the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince and harmed the Imperial Consort and the Eldest Prince, causing an old man like him to send them off. It seems that Zhou Jia is the lucky star of the Third Prince. He would have to get rid of him and send the child there to be taken care of. They would wait for the day he made a comeback.

Cheng Sheng turned to look at the steward with a vicious expression that terrified the latter.

Cheng Sheng stared at the steward and said word by word, “Get someone to go to the Lin Clan School. Find an opportunity to kidnap that child and sell him to a gigolo. Sell him far away. Bring kerosene at night and go to the Zhou Mansion to set fire to it.”

“Burn the Zhou Mansion.” The steward was so frightened by Cheng Sheng’s crazy idea that he stood rooted to the ground.

With a bang, Cheng Sheng slammed the table. The steward trembled in fear. When he came back to his senses, he looked at Cheng Sheng and said with a trembling voice, “Master, there are only a few people in the residence now. The Zhou residence is on East Street. There are also many people patrolling that area. That number of people…’

Cheng Sheng slammed the table and said in a low voice, “Do as I said and stop nagging.”

The steward could only bow and say, “Master, I’ll get someone to investigate and arrange for someone to do it.”

Cheng Sheng looked at him and said coldly, “As soon as possible.”

Seeing his cold expression, the steward could only agree and leave. He arranged for people to go to the Lin Academy and the Zhou Mansion to gather information.

After the steward left, Cheng Sheng wrote a letter and sealed it. He took some golden leaves and banknotes and put them in his bag. He carried his bag and got up to the back garden. He went out through the corner door and carefully checked around before walking towards the alley.

After circling the alley, they arrived at a courtyard and knocked twice. A moment later, the door opened. A beautiful woman in her thirties stuck her head out and smiled happily when she saw Cheng Sheng.

The woman hurriedly let Cheng Sheng into the house. “Master, when did you return to the capital?”

Cheng Sheng looked at him and felt much better. “I’ve been back for a few days. Did Feng’er go to school?”

“Yes!” The woman looked at Cheng Sheng gently. “Are you waiting for Feng’er to come back and see him?”

Cheng Sheng shook his head and led her into the house. “No, I have something to tell you.”

After the two of them sat down, the woman saw his solemn expression and looked at him uneasily.

Cheng Sheng patted her hand and handed her the bag. He looked at her and said, “Hide these things well. Take Feng’er to Le County to find Wenchang Pavilion. Find someone called Cheng Youfu. He’ll take you to see someone. When you see him, give him this secret letter. He’ll take care of you and the child. ”

The woman looked at the secret letter, golden leaves, and banknotes in her bag and said with a trembling voice, “Master, what happened? Does Eldest Young Master know about Feng’er and me? Tell him that we won’t fight with him and won’t return to Yuezhou.”

Cheng Sheng looked at her and felt a little uncomfortable. He said in a low voice, “Just leave when I tell you to. I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave in a few days. Yu County is more than half a month away from the capital. Go to the escort agency and hire an escort to send you there. Live a good life there.”

The woman nodded and promised solemnly, “Don’t worry, I’ll raise Feng’er well.”

Cheng Sheng looked at her in relief. “Alright, you and Feng’er will be fine.”

The woman stepped forward and snuggled into his arms. ‘Got it, Master.”

The sun had already set, and the weather was so stuffy and hot that it was uncomfortable. Li Yu brought the two children to play in the pavilion on the lotus pond. She recalled the news Ji Xiang had received from the royal eunuch that Zhou Jia had almost been assassinated in Yuezhou. Fortunately, he had been prepared in advance and managed to escape.

Li Yu recalled that two days before the head of the Cheng family arrived in the capital, the Imperial Court had already spread the news that the Eldest Prince and his wife had died of illness. She was secretly worried about Zhou Jia’s safety.

Seeing that Li Yu was silent after hearing Ji Xiang’s report, Granny Chen asked worriedly, “Madam, how’s Master’s matter in Yuezhou?”

Li Yu looked up at her and smiled. “There was a small incident. It’s already been resolved.”

Granny Chen comforted her. “Madam, don’t worry. Ever since the Consort fell, the Cheng family in Yuezhou is no longer the same as before. Master has so many guards. He’ll be fine.”

“You’re right,” Li Yu replied with a smile. She turned to look at Yueyue, who was lying on the mat and waving his lotus root-like arms.

She picked up Xingxing, who was lying at the side, and said with a smile, “Aiyo!

My Xing’er is as serious as a pedant. Look, He’s learning to talk!”

When Yueyue heard Li Yu praise Xingxing, he waved his chubby hand and looked at Li Yu. “Ah, you’re a chatterbox.” Yueyue thought that Li Yu was teasing him and giggled.

Ji Xiang drove to the Lin family school. When the school door opened, he looked at Yangyang, who was carrying his school bag and coming out with his classmates. He smiled and waved. “Young Master…”

“Uncle Xiang, you’re here!” When Yangyang saw Ji Xiang, he smiled and shouted before walking towards him.

Suddenly, a carriage drove over and separated the two of them. Ji Xiang thought to himself that something was wrong and hurriedly ran toward Yangyang..
