Chapter 245 Decent People
If the eldest prince was just joking before, he was really angry after being rebuked by Chu Ci.
His face instantly turned as dark as ink, and he said sinisterly, "Madam Fan is really sharp-tongued! I just asked a question casually, but you are so aggressive. Do you really think that I can do nothing to you?"
Chu Ci: He is really used to being high and mighty, and he is allowed to step on other people's bottom line at will. I just said a few words in reply, and his high and mighty face was revealed.
With a cold snort and a roll of his eyes, Chu Ci put on a reckless attitude and raised his eyebrows and said, "How do you want to deal with me, Your Highness the King of Shu? I will take over."
The eldest prince originally just wanted to scare Chu Ci, so that she would give up and restrain herself.
But now that Chu Ci did this, the situation was instantly reversed, and he became the one who was in a difficult situation and couldn't get off the stage.
Seeing Fan Jingrui's touched expression, he became even more angry. He simply turned his spearhead towards Fan Jingrui and said sternly, "Fan Jingrui, is this the rule of your Fan family? You indulge Madam in such rudeness and presumptuousness. Aren't you afraid of giving people a reason to criticize you and ruining the reputation of the Fan family?"
If this was before the eldest prince was exiled, this trick would have worked every time.
At that time, Fan Jingrui's heart and eyes were filled with the glory and rules of the Fan family. He would certainly be frightened by the pressure from the eldest prince and would immediately restrain himself.
Unfortunately, the current Fan Jingrui is no longer the pedantic and rigid Fan Jingrui who lived only for the Fan family.
His eyes were firm and fearless, and he said frankly: "Your Highness, King Shu, I am henpecked."
After hearing what Fan Jingrui said, the eldest prince was almost angry to death. His face turned red and his throat seemed to be blocked by something. He couldn't speak for a long time, as if he was about to be choked to death by Fan Jingrui's words.
The fifth prince was full of admiration, his eyes sparkling with appreciation. He gave Fan Jingrui a thumbs up without hesitation and said excitedly: "Brother Fan, you are amazing. Apart from the second brother, I'm afraid you are the only one who dares to say this in front of the emperor."
"I admire you so much! I really admire you so much!"
Upon seeing this, the eldest prince's face instantly turned ashen and gloomy, as if water could drip out of it. His expression was extremely ugly.
But he knew better than anyone that under the current situation, he could threaten Fan Jingrui appropriately, but as for Chu Ci, as long as her value existed, he could not do anything to her easily.
What's more, there is a Fifth Prince who is openly supporting them behind the scenes.
Although the Purple-Robed Envoy is away for the time being, his intention to protect Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui is obvious. If he were to force his way into trouble, the consequences would definitely not be what he wants to see.
Thinking of this, even if the eldest prince was extremely unwilling and angry, he could only suppress his anger, snorted coldly, shook his sleeves, turned around and left angrily.
After this incident, Chu Ci thought that even if the eldest prince did not draw a clear line between themselves and them, he would at least keep quiet for a while.
But Chuci is obviously too simple.
At dinner time, when everyone was sitting around the table to eat, the eldest prince greeted Chu Ci with a big smile on his face, as if the previous unpleasantness had never happened. It seemed as if the conflict in the morning was just a vague dream.
The Fifth Prince and Fan Jingrui were not surprised at this. They seemed to have expected this situation and naturally returned to their previous way of getting along, as if nothing had changed.
Chu Ci felt quite uncomfortable, but he could only shake his head helplessly and sighed quietly: [Well, we are all decent people. ]
Thinking of this, Chu Ci couldn't help but laugh at himself, thinking that he had taken the Ah Q spirit to the extreme.
She pondered silently in her heart: If it were in her previous life, what would I do when faced with such a situation?
But after racking my brains for a long time, I just couldn't remember it.
Perhaps I was very different from who I am now in my previous life, or perhaps it was just too long ago and those memories have long become blurred.
Thinking of this, Chu Ci's heart suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand. "I'm full, you guys continue."
She said this hastily and hurried back to her room, her steps were hurried and urgent, as if she was avoiding something.
However, this is often the case, life is always full of surprises and helplessness.
Sometimes, she was not given even the slightest chance to relieve her emotions, as if fate was deliberately playing a trick on her, not allowing her a moment's respite or peace.
Just when Chu Ci had just stepped into the room and had not yet had time to calm down his inner turmoil.
Zhang Pingping's rapid knocks on the door suddenly rang out, "Knock knock knock," the sound came one after another, like dense drum beats, constantly hitting Chu Ci's eardrums, making her already troubled heart even more anxious.
But reason told her that Zhang Pingping must have some urgent matter to come here at this time.
Chu Ci could only suppress the discomfort in his heart, took a deep breath, tried to adjust his emotions, and slowly opened the door.
"Sister Chu, this is so scary, so scary." Zhang Pingping threw herself into Chu Ci's arms, her voice trembling and crying, "Sister Chu, can you sleep with me tonight? I'm really scared to be alone."
Chu Ci immediately understood Zhang Pingping's purpose and immediately cooperated: "Pingping, are you having a nightmare?"
She patted Zhang Pingping's back gently, trying to comfort her.
Zhang Pingping did not answer, but nodded gently in Chu Ci's arms, her body still trembling slightly. Like a frightened deer, she snuggled up to Chu Ci, seeking warmth and shelter.
Chu Ci seemed to be particularly fond of the little sister in his arms.
So she directly instructed her personal maid, "Jiang Li, go to the restaurant quickly and tell your husband that I will go to Pingping's place to accompany her tonight and will not be back. Don't forget to pass on the message, go and come back quickly."
"Yes." Jiang Li agreed and hurried away.
On the other side, Chu Ci supported Zhang Pingping as she walked back, but in fact, he said, "Your father coming here tonight won't attract the attention of those people, right?"
Chu Pingping didn't look scared at all. She blinked her eyes and said confidently, "No, my father sleeps with my mother. Even the housekeeper can't get close. This has always been the rule in our family. There will be no exceptions."
Chu Ci nodded slightly and chuckled, "I see. It seems that your parents have a deep relationship, and this rule is full of respect for their friendship."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Pingping just smiled bitterly, with a hint of helplessness and loneliness in her expression: "No, mother is just a shield on the surface."
"Secretly, my father has no shortage of guards around him for twelve hours. Those guards are secretly protecting him and dare not let their guard down for even a moment."
