Chapter 375: Chapter 362: Going Too Far

“Xueyun, Xueyun!” The King of Qi panicked and picked up Hang Xueyun, making for the door. “Fetch a doctor, hurry to the medical clinic. If anything happens to Xueyun, I’ll have your heads!”

The King of Qi was about to leave, and Mrs. Ruo felt a pang of anxiety. She chased after him hurriedly, “Your Majesty, I…”

Today was her birthday!

How could the King of Qi leave with another woman on this day? Where would she, the Queen of Qi, place her dignity?

“Witch!” The King of Qi rebuked Mrs. Ruo before she could finish her sentence.

“Despite appearing virtuous and gracious, you sink to such malevolence!

“If Xueyun is fine, it’s all good. But if anything happens, I will not spare you!” With that, the King of Qi departed, carrying an unconscious and ashen-faced Hang Xueyun.

“Your Majesty…” Mrs. Ruo, with streaks of tears on her face, followed him for a few steps. When she realized that he wouldn’t pay her any attention, she collapsed to the ground, hopeless and sobbing uncontrollably, biting her lip in despair.

The King of Qi actually brought another woman back on her birthday, and she was falsely accused. It was nothing short of a great disgrace!

A great disgrace indeed!

As Mrs. Ruo wept silently, she buried her face in her hands and wailed.

Chu Jinzhuo was simply stunned.

This drama had unfolded quite dramatically.

Chu Jinnian drained his cup of tea, set it down, stood up, and strolled past Mrs.

Ruo, pausing briefly to look at her crying bitterly.

“Today is Queen Qi’s birthday,” he said in a leisurely manner, “I haven’t wished her yet. Now, I wish Queen Qi to have the same day every year and today’s scene every time.”

“I’ve got matters to attend, so I won’t disturb Queen Qi further. Excuse me.’

His words struck her heart like a dagger, causing her to tremble in pain.

Mrs. Ruo, who had been crying hysterically, abruptly ceased her wailing. She sprang to her feet, pointed at Chu Jinnian, and shouted, “Chu Jinnian, you’ve gone too far!”

-Gone too far?” Chu Jinnian halted his footsteps, chuckling scornfully. “How

does this compare to your past deeds? It is merely a drop in the bucket.”

“And this is just the beginning; there is a long way to go. Queen Qi had better

look out for herself.”

Mrs. Ruo was as pale as death, her lips trembling.

Is this just the beginning?

What else would Chu Jinnian do?

Is he planning to put her and her son in danger?

“Chu Jinnian!” Mrs. Ruo quickly walked up to Chu Jinnian. Her eyes were crimson, and her lips curled in mockery. “You resent my son and I because of your mother, but don’t you forget, the initiator was your father. If you really dare, go after your father. What ability do you show by venting your anger on us?”

“Do you think he can escape?” Chu Jinnian scoffed. “This matter doesn t need you to push, Queen Qi. I’ve got everything in place.”

It’s just a matter of time.

Chu Jinnian didn’t want to waste words with Mrs. Ruo anymore. He swung his sleeve, striding away with long steps.

Leaving Mrs. Ruo and her son standing there, their expressions deflated and their bodies freezing cold.

Chu Jinzhuo, in particular, was trembling all over. He held Mrs. Ruo’s sleeve tightly, inquiring in a low voice, “Mother, what do we do now…”

His maternal grandparents were only from a poor family. It was only because Mrs. Ruo won the favor of the King of Qi that his grandparents and uncles were hired for positions. What would he do, if Mrs. Ruo lost her favor and Chu Jinnian targeted her?

Chu Jinzhuo could not help but shudder at the thought of Chu Jinnian’s icy gaze from earlier.

“You mustn’t be scared,” Mrs. Ruo gritted her teeth, “For all these years, Chu Jinnian couldn’t do anything to us. Are you afraid of him now?”

Seeing Chu Jinzhuo’s face still filled with fear, Mrs. Ruo, in a moment of tenderness, whispered sweetly, “My good boy Jinzhuo, bear in mind that your mother is the Princess Qi, your father is the King of Qi. No one can do anything to you, not even Chu Jinnian!”

Mrs. Ruo spoke with such force that she seemed completely resolute.

Yet Chu Jinzhuo’s heart was still in total disarray, as if he was a tiny boat amidst a storm, lacking direction and constantly in the face of danger.

Could it be true?

But Chu Jinnian was the Crown Prince. His aunt was the Concubine Hui, who was second only to the Queen. His maternal family was a highly esteemed clan that the King respected a lot. To put it bluntly, even if Chu Jinnian intended to kill Jinzhuo and his mother, the King likely wouldn’t stand in his way.

Mrs. Ruo always taught him to be courteous to Chu Jinnian no matter how unsatisfied he might be, so that others would see who was the one being humble and who was the one acting arrogantly.

Chu Jinzhuo had always done this very well, appearing to be both respectful and trying to win Chu Jinnian’s favor.

It was not because he had enough shrewdness or enough patience, but because he was genuinely fearful, especially when he saw Chu Jinnian’s icy gaze, he couldn’t help but shudder.

Chu Jinzhuo felt that today, he was more terrified of Chu Jinnian than ever before.

From now on, there might truly be no means of survival for him.

At least, there certainly wouldn’t be the kind of bright future that Mrs. Ruo was talking about.

“Don’t worry, Jinzhuo. Your mother will definitely find a way to deal with Chu Jinnian,” Mrs. Ruo said indignantly.

But now, what she really needed to deal with was Hang Xueyun, right? After all, with Xueyun around, the favor for them, mother and son, would diminish. And without favor, they would have nothing left.

Could she really deal with Chu Jinnian?

Would she succeed?

Chu Jinzhuo was full of confusion.

Chu Jinnian headed for his own house.

After moving out of the palace when he grew up, Concubine Hui specially set up a house for him in the capital city.

Though it was not as grand as the King of Qi’s mansion, it was spacious and elegant. Chu Jinnian had always lived here while he was in Beijing.

All the way, Chu Jinnian showed no emotion. Meanwhile, Jing Zhao was euphoric.

Jing Zhao had been beside Chu Jinnian since they were children. All of Chu Jinnian’s experiences were seen through his eyes and he hated the various actions of Mrs. Ruo and her son from the bottom of his heart, and was also angry at the King of Qi’s bias.

From the bottom of his heart, Jing Zhao felt it was unfair for Chu Jinnian and felt aggrieved for him.

Although Chu Jinnian didn’t take the King of Qi or Mrs. Ruo seriously, and had never been angered by their tricks, he always responded with a beautiful counterattack. However, the favoritism the King showed to Mrs. Ruo and Chu Jinzhuo, as well as his rebuke of Chu Jinnian, were genuine.

It was distressing to watch one’s own father favoring someone who had done nothing but cause trouble and even harm to oneself.

Thus, Jing Zhao was saddened for Chu Jinnian everytime he retaliated, apart from the satisfaction he felt. But today was different. Mrs. Ruo and Chu Jinzhuo were embarrassed, and the King didn’t speak a word in defense of them. Instead, he picked a fight with Mrs. Ruo over a eunuch.

It must be said that this was the most satisfying thing that Jing Zhao had ever witnessed; nothing could top it.

Jing Zhao was so elated that his eyebrows almost touched his hairline. If it weren’t for his face keeping them in place, they might have flown off..
