Chapter 1262: 160.Bottom card invalid_4

In any case, no matter the process, Chen Ji was indeed victoriously splendid today. And Chen Ruochu’s capability also ascended more than just one position in Chen Haigang’s heart.

Lin Yuan believed that after today, Chen Ruochu’s status within the Chen family would definitely be incomparable to before.

In contrast to Wu Zhengqing, who was infuriated into silence, the Eldest Young Master Wu, Wu Jiangtao, was even more focused on something else.

Ever since that woman with the hair pinned up appeared, Wu Jiangtao hadn’t taken his eyes off her. The more he looked at the woman’s delicate, fair arms, the more restless and unbearable the heat inside him grew.

Finally, when the troupe was preparing to leave, a wicked thought wildly burst in Wu Jiangtao’s heart, and he waved over a follower, whispering something to him.

They say a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow; none of Wu Jiangtao’s followers were of good standing either. Hearing his words, the man’s face instantly revealed a lecherous and nauseating expression, nodding and bowing as he followed the troupe away.

"Miss, the young master sent someone over, urging you to hurry back,"

An Yueyue’s maid rushed to An Yueyue’s side in a frantic hurry, snatching the wine pot from her hands.

"What?" An Yueyue’s eyes widened, "Was it Grandma Yuan who snitched? It can’t be, didn’t I drug her and lock her up in the woodshed to sleep soundly? These fellows don’t know that I snuck out, so how could anyone tip them off?"

While An Yueyue was still guessing who the informant was, her maid was already in such a panic that her eyes turned red: "My miss, now is not the time to worry about who snitched. We really must hurry back! The elder young master has said several times you are not to go out alone. If the Madam and the master find out, you’ll be sent back to Yecheng!"

"I can’t go back to Yecheng, that bitch Tang Ruyan hasn’t returned yet, I definitely can’t go back!" Clenching her fists resolutely, An Yueyue hurriedly threw down her wine pot and murmured with some regret as she ran off.

"Really, His Highness finally arranged a task for me, and I still haven’t seen it through to the end, I’m sure to disappoint His Highness. Oh dear, what a pity, such a pity."

Just as Wu Jiangtao was drooling over the back of the woman with the hair pinned up, he suddenly sensed something and turned his head to see the prey he had long had his eye on hurrying away.

His brows furrowed slightly, but whatever he thought of, he quickly let go.

An Yueyue left quickly with her maid, and as they passed a teahouse, the face of Tang Ruyan, with its delicate makeup, suddenly appeared.

With a slight curve of her lips, Tang Ruyan left a meaningful smile before turning away. Suddenly, the words of her father, Tang Qing, echoed in her ears—if one could deal with those in their way ahead of time, there was no point in leaving them around, after all, there were far too many rivals in the Capital city, and if she waited until the end to handle them, she would be far too exhausted.

The opening of the cloth shops owned by the Chen and Wu families was quite an unusual event this year, with the formerly Imperial Merchant, the Wu family, surprisingly being suppressed by the Chen family in more than one aspect in the Capital city. The Second Prince was especially vexed by this incident, often being covertly ridiculed by other imperial censors whenever he entered the palace for council, much to his annoyance.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before March arrived, and the Great General of the Xia Family Army, Xia Zhen, was to marry Miss Tian Hui of the Tian Mansion.

On the sixth day of March, Xia Hen, the Young Master of the Xia Family who had been missing for many days, suddenly returned. The young servant who tidied Xia Hen’s room knocked on the door at midnight and hadn’t seen anyone; but the next morning when he went to clean the room again, he was shocked to discover a person lying on the bed, which made him scream out loud.
