Chapter 245: The Runaway Zhu Yunwen
Thinking of this, Zhu Ming felt even more grateful to Zhu Yuanzhang, and decided to make the Ming Dynasty great again no matter what.
"Then, what to do next?"
Chen Ling looked at Zhu Ming and asked again.
Now Wang Ganju's family has been wiped out, leaving only a baby who can't remember anything and is of no use.
"Go check who did this."
Zhu Ming pondered for a while before speaking slowly.
Although the Crown Princess has great power in the court, she does not have many people at her disposal.
If we continue investigating along this line, we might find some clues.
"Zhu Ming."
As soon as Zhu Ming finished speaking, Xu Miaojin came out from the inner room.
When he saw Chen Ling standing next to Zhu Ming, he was stunned at first.
Chen Ling, whose conspiracy was discovered by Xu Miaojin, looked gloomy and didn't know whether to leave or stay.
"Lord Chen Ling."
Xu Miaojin pondered for a while before walking over and nodded at Chen Ling as if nothing had happened.
He was not unfamiliar with Chen Ling, having met her several times before in Shanxi.
Seeing Xu Miaojin taking the initiative to speak, Chen Ling also scratched her head awkwardly and bowed to her: "Miss."
"It's okay, you guys chat first, I'll step aside for a while."
Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Ming again, smiled, and was about to leave.
"It's fine."
It was Zhu Ming who spoke up again. He asked Xu Miaojin to stay and came with a smile.
Xu Miaojin and Chen Ling are both family members, there is no need to avoid them like this.
"Just do as I say."
Zhu Ming turned back and nodded at Chen Ling with a smile.
Seeing this, Chen Ling also responded and then retreated.
"Have you finished discussing it?"
Watching Chen Ling climb out from the wall, Xu Miaojin smiled and asked with his head tilted.
Although she didn't know what Zhu Ming was discussing with Chen Ling, she knew that Zhu Ming and Chen Ling must have something very important.
So it's normal to hide from yourself.
"Ah."
Zhu Ming nodded: "Wang Ganju..."
He opened his mouth and said Wang Ganju's name.
After all, they are engaged, so there is no need to hide it anymore.
If he can't trust Xu Miaojin, then there are few people he can trust.
It’s better to be honest with each other.
But Xu Miaojin reached out her hand, put it on his mouth and shook her head.
"There are some things you don't have to tell me."
She smiled.
Although she is usually careless, she is not a fool.
Since Zhu Ming kept it from her, he must have his reasons, so she didn't force it.
"Why did you come out?"
Zhu Ming raised his hand and held Xu Miaojin's hand, and the smile on his face deepened.
Xu Miaojin's understanding also made him relax.
But didn’t Xu Miaojin just take Mu Ruanjun to see Duke Wei? How come she came out so soon?
"Not yet Daddy!"
When asked by Zhu Ming, Xu Miaojin immediately put on a resentful look and glared in the direction of the inner room angrily.
"I am his biological child, okay?"
As he spoke, he pouted in dissatisfaction.
Zhu Ming knew at a glance that it was Mr. Xu who was happy to see Mu Ruanjun and ignored Xu Miaojin.
He could still empathize with this.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang treated Xu Miaojin and him in the same way.
Sometimes he even doubted whether Xu Miaojin was the old man's biological granddaughter.
“I feel deeply about this.”
he smiled.
"Crown Princess, there is news from Prince Yan."
In the East Palace, Zhang Yong appeared respectfully in front of Lu with a sly smile.
His plan was successful. Since Wang Ganju kept his mouth shut, the Crown Princess was not implicated in any scandal.
I believe that the Crown Princess can also see my abilities and make use of me.
"Well done."
The Crown Princess also nodded in appreciation. She really needed such a useful person by her side: "From tomorrow on, you will stay by my side and serve me."
Hearing what Mrs. Lu said, Zhang Yong laughed even harder.
The closer you are to Lu, the closer you are to power.
As long as he helps the Crown Princess and the Emperor's eldest grandson to ascend to the throne, he will naturally also gain benefits.
"Your Highness, Your Highness cannot force your way in!"
But before Zhang Yong could feel proud for long, the eunuch's panicked voice came from outside the door.
Zhu Yunwen walked up to Lu with an impatient look on his face and looked at Zhang Yong beside him.
"You eunuch, why are you making slanderous remarks in front of my mother?"
He pointed at Zhang Yong's nose and started cursing without paying any attention to the presence of Mrs. Lu nearby.
"Father is a man of integrity and righteousness. His palace will not tolerate a villain like you!"
Zhang Yong lowered his head due to his scolding, not daring to respond. He could only look up at Lu with a look as if asking for help.
"enough!"
Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was so disrespectful to her, Lu also got angry, slapped the armrest and shouted loudly.
Zhu Yunwen, who was so arrogant just now, was frightened by Lu's shout and his arrogance weakened a little.
"Yun Wen, you are getting bolder and bolder."
Mrs. Lu stared at her son who had suddenly had an outburst and questioned him in a deep voice.
"He is my man. Why don't you study hard with Mr. Qitai? Why do you come here to make trouble?"
She stood up and asked Zhang Yong to come to her side.
It's rare to have a useful person around me. What the hell is wrong with Zhu Yunwen?
"Mother, what do you want to do with this kind of villain?"
Although Zhu Yunwen's momentum was suppressed by Lu, he still looked at Zhang Yong with resentment and asked in confusion.
"Where did you hear that?"
Mrs. Lu frowned and asked back in a deep voice.
Although Zhang Yong was in the Eastern Palace, he did not have much contact with Zhu Yunwen. How did he see what kind of person Zhang Yong was?
And you dare to do it in front of me?
"It's Mr. Qitai!"
Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath, raised his head and looked directly at Lu.
This was the first time in his life that he dared to face his mother like this.
"what?"
Seeing Zhu Yunwen mustering up his courage, Lu was also shocked.
First, he was glad that his son, who had always been well-behaved, finally had the courage to talk to him like this.
Secondly, he was shocked at how Qi Tai could see that Zhang Yong was conspiring with him.
"You don't have to worry about this matter!"
But it doesn’t matter. This is not Zhu Yunwen’s business.
She pointed at the door and looked at Zhu Yunwen sternly: "Now, go down and let Mr. Qi Tai come to see me."
This Qi Tai might already know something, so I have to go and find out what he has to say.
Otherwise, he would not have asked Zhu Yunwen to come over for no reason and try to drive Zhang Yong away in front of him.
"Yes!"
Although Zhu Yunwen was still not convinced, he dared not disobey Lu's order. He could only glare at Zhang Yong again before retreating.
"Don't worry, he can't touch you with me here."
After letting Zhu Yunwen leave, Lu looked at Zhang Yong with great dominance and spoke slowly.
Although Zhu Yunwen has made some progress, he still has the final say in the East Palace.
