Chapter 124 If he marries her, he won't lose too much.
Meanwhile, Aunt Fang was nestled in Chu Ang's arms, saying, "My dear, you've suffered so much."
Her voice was trembling with tears, soft and alluring, "That boy Gu Chengyan is so heartless. He just abandoned me like that, without caring about any of our past feelings."
Chu Ang frowned slightly and gently patted the woman's shoulder. "Alright, alright, I know about Xin'er's matter. In a few days, I'll go and plead with the master on her behalf..."
intercede?
Aunt Fang couldn't help but sneer inwardly, a hint of contempt flashing in her eyes.
In her opinion, these men, though they say nice things, are not reliable when it comes to crucial moments, and none of them will truly plan for Chu Nanxin.
Fortunately, she has already found a new backer for Chu Nanxin...
Thinking of this, a sly glint flashed in Aunt Fang's eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smug smile.
But she quickly concealed that smile.
She snuggled closer to Chu Ang, "Isn't everything ready? Why aren't you doing it?"
After a moment of contemplation, Chu Ang spoke in a somewhat solemn tone: "It's almost time, just waiting for Master's orders."
He was getting impatient; after all these years, he was waiting for Chu Qiyang to grovel at his feet.
A hint of impatience flashed in her eyes, and she shifted her body slightly. "How much longer do we have to wait? My children and I can't wait any longer."
"That old man is already suspicious. If this drags on any longer, who knows what might go wrong!"
Chu Qiyang was clearly unhappy about her pregnancy this time, and even repeatedly asked her if she had gotten pregnant after just one time.
His eyes were full of suspicion, like knives, as if he wanted to see right through her...
Chu Ang was silent for a moment, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, "Then during this time, find an opportunity to leave with Xin'er. I will persuade the master..."
We must capture them all in one fell swoop. Only if Aunt Fang and Chu Nanxin leave will they not be implicated.
He completely replaced Chu Qiyang, and then brought the mother and daughter back, all because Chu Nanxin was his legitimate daughter...
The night in the capital was splashed with thick, dark ink, while inside the Huajinlou Pavilion, the lights shone brightly and the music was melodious.
Prince Su stumbled and pushed open the door to the room, feeling extremely hot. He had been drugged and desperately needed a woman to relieve his discomfort.
His usually stern face was now somewhat distorted due to the effects of the drug.
Upon entering the room, he instinctively staggered toward the bed.
After a night of debauchery, Prince Su slowly awoke, feeling extremely dizzy.
The room was in disarray, and the air still carried the ambiguous atmosphere of last night.
On the bed, a woman sat there, her shoulders trembling violently, her cries sounding particularly jarring in the silent room.
The sounds pounded against Prince Su's eardrums, making him feel agitated.
"What are you crying for!" Prince Su snapped impatiently, his voice filled with displeasure. "I won't shortchange you on your money."
Aren't the women in these brothels just after money?
As long as you give enough money, anything can be solved.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here...
"I don't want money." Chu Nanxin's cries grew louder and louder, tears streaming down her face like beads from a broken string.
A wave of disdain surged in Prince Su's heart. He sneered inwardly, "This lowly woman dares to dream of entering my home?"
These women will use any means necessary to achieve wealth and status; they are nothing more than vain and insatiable people.
Prince Su sat up abruptly, roughly grabbing the woman's chin and forcing her to raise her head to face his icy gaze.
"I have favored you..." He was about to continue speaking when Chu Nanxin suddenly interrupted him.
"I'm not a prostitute here!" Chu Nanxin cried out, her voice filled with grievance and anger. "I'm the daughter of the Chu family in the capital!"
Prince Su's hand suddenly stopped, and the contempt on his face froze instantly, replaced by a look of seriousness.
He originally thought it was something that could be dealt with by spending some money, but things turned out to be quite complicated.
The Chu family? The richest family in the capital?
His family only has one unmarried daughter left, and I heard she's already engaged.
"Since you are the daughter of the Chu family, how come you are in this Hua Jin Lou?" Prince Su released his grip on Chu Nanxin's chin. Although his tone was still cold, it had become more inquisitive.
Chu Nanxin looked at the man and stammered, "I...I was kidnapped..."
She devised a perfect excuse for herself: she went out, but was drugged and knocked unconscious halfway through her journey. When she woke up, she found herself in the Hua Jin Lou.
Before she could even figure out what was going on, he forced himself on her...
Prince Su frowned, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, concealing calculation and inner turmoil.
He got up, picked up his clothes from the ground, and dressed neatly.
He turned around and his gaze fell on the woman curled up in a corner of the bed, looking pitiful. "I will take responsibility."
The words had barely left his mouth when his thoughts drifted far away. He quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
If he marries the daughter of the Chu family, it wouldn't be too bad for him. He'd be given the title of concubine, and his future expansion of power in the court and his various private schemes would be supported by a steady stream of money.
This means he will have more leverage in the race for the throne.
This is a golden opportunity...
Little did he know that Chu Nanxin was deliberately trying to mislead him.
Prince Su arranged for a discreet carriage to take Chu Nanxin back to the Chu family.
Along the way, the carriage moved slowly along the stone-paved streets of the capital, and the "gurgling" sound of the wheels rolling on the ground made her feel much better.
Chu Nanxin placed her hand on her belly, waiting for her to become pregnant.
The carriage finally stopped at the back gate of the Chu family. The driver gently lowered the footboard, and Chu Nanxin took a deep breath and slowly stepped down from the carriage.
She instinctively pulled her cloak tighter around herself, trying to hide herself in the night, wanting only to slip into the mansion silently without disturbing anyone.
She had only taken a few steps when she saw a familiar figure ahead. By the dim moonlight, Chu Nanxin recognized her as Chu Yueshu.
Chu Yueshu crossed her arms, her face showing displeasure and a questioning look. "Where have you been so late at night?"
Chu Yueshu looked displeased. She went to find Chu Nanxin, intending to have a chat with her, after all, they had been friends since childhood.
She wasn't in the courtyard, so she left a maidservant lying on her bed.
Chu Nan's heart tightened. "Just go for a walk..."
