Chapter 155 He Has What I Don’t
Cang Mo brought Chu Ci back to the palace. After confirming that she was not injured at all, he hugged Chu Ci tightly in his arms and said, "Fortunately, you are not the one who was injured."
Chu Ci didn't say anything, because she had no way to respond to this sentence. After all, it was her brother who was injured for her.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Cang Mo couldn't help but tighten his hands a little.
"You have two places?" He asked pretending to be indifferent, but his flickering eyes betrayed him.
"Well, it took a lot of effort to get it together. It was really difficult." Chu Ci recalled the hard work he went through to get these two places. It was really hard.
Prince Rui's eyes darkened. "Really? Who did you give it to?"
Only then did Chu Ci realize that the tone of King Rui's voice was wrong. There was a strong hint of sourness in it. Just now he said that he asked him to give Qiao Sheng the quota, but now he started asking questions even though he already knew the answer.
Chu Ci crossed her arms and looked at him with amusement, "Tell me, what do you want to say? Or do you also suspect that I have some hidden relationship with the eldest young master of the Qiao family?"
In front of Cang Mo, she didn't even dare to call the eldest young master of the Qiao family "Brother Sheng", because this man was very jealous.
"You didn't even mention giving me this spot. I could have tolerated it if it was given to Chu Zhen, but even Qiao Sheng got one, but not me. Isn't that inappropriate?"
After saying this, Cang Mo seemed to realize that he was looking for trouble. The person who taught him was the best. It was his father who helped him when he first met Chu Sheng. The chances of him changing were not great at all.
"You want to go to Qingsong Academy? Will my father agree? Cang Mo, I suspect you are just looking for trouble." Chu Ci felt a little angry. In fact, no matter whether she gave it to him or not, he would not leave the palace.
"But if you gave the quota to Chu Zhen because he is your biological brother, then how do you explain giving the quota to Qiao Sheng?" Cang Mo was also a little unhappy. In his heart, it was indeed inappropriate for Chu Ci to handle this matter. Besides, he had just solved such a big problem for her, and she treated him like this.
Chu Ci rubbed his temples. "I gave it to Qiao Sheng because of Qiao Yu. She's my only friend, that's all. I want her to live a better life. Besides, Qiao Sheng's literary talent is pretty good, but his status isn't quite up to par."
Cang Mo's mouth curled up slightly, it turned out to be because of Qiao Yu, "Are you telling the truth?"
Chu Ci nodded speechlessly, "Of course, I don't have any feelings for Brother Qiao Sheng."
Chu Ci's words completely reassured Cang Mo, and the strength in his hands also relaxed a little.
"By the way, in a few days, some of my brothers have invited us to go horseback riding in the suburbs. Do you have time?" Cang Mo didn't dare to agree on her behalf. The main reason was that his little fox was too perfect. She had too many secrets and he didn't know if she was free.
Chu Ci thought about it. The next two days would not be the time for her to look at the account books, nor would she have to go to Huichuntang to see patients, take private work, or teach. There were other things to do, so Chu Ci briefly thought about them. None of them were necessary. What a coincidence, she actually had time.
Chu Ci nodded, "I have time, but riding a horse? I don't know how to ride a horse. Master said it's too dangerous to learn, so he didn't let me learn. Anyway, I have my senior brother to accompany me when I go out, so I don't need to learn how to ride a horse at all."
As soon as Chu Ci said this, Prince Rui's face darkened. "You said he usually takes you riding?"
Chu Ci didn't realize what was happening yet, and nodded foolishly, "Yeah, it's too dangerous for me to ride a horse by myself."
"Then don't ride for the next two days. I'll take you."
Although Chu Ci felt puzzled, as she was clearly supposed to be riding a horse, yet she was not asked to ride, what was going on?
Meanwhile, Li returned to the Chu residence. The dean's servant threw Li directly to the gatekeeper. "Your wife went to our academy and caused a scene. She also threatened and intimidated us, and made false accusations against our teachers. Our dean said that this matter is not over."
After the dean's servant finished speaking, he turned and left.
The gatekeepers looked surprised. They hadn't figured out what was going on and were completely confused.
One of the servants looked at the servant next to him and asked, "Where did they say they were from?"
"I think they're talking about Qingsong Academy."
The two men looked at each other, one went in to report the matter, and the other servant went in to call the maids and asked them to help the lady in.
The servant briefly told the story. After Lord Chu understood it, he knew that it was unsuccessful, so he did not even go to see Mrs. Li, but just called a doctor for her.
After the doctor finished bandaging the wound, Li was furious. "That little bitch Chu Ci, I went to her and she didn't even give me the slightest bit of respect. Not only did she disagree, she even dared to hit me. She even broke my hand and it hurt like hell."
Zhilan brought a cup of tea and placed it next to Li. "Master, it is the eldest lady who is wrong in this matter. You are her mother, and she is being extremely unfilial."
"But then again, Miss has Prince Rui as her backer. What can we do now?"
Li also thought of Zhilan's words, "Since the open way doesn't work, then we'll try the covert way. Since the direct way doesn't work, then we'll take a detour. I don't believe she dares to disobey."
"Come closer, I have something to tell you."
The next day, Lord Chu went to court early. As soon as he arrived outside the hall and was chatting with several adults, before he entered the hall, the emperor's personal eunuch came out and went straight to Lord Chu.
The chief eunuch came out and stood opposite, "The Emperor has spoken."
All the officials knelt down.
The emperor reprimanded Lord Chu and suspended him from his position, telling him to return to court after he had sorted out his family affairs.
Lord Chu left in dejection, and all the officials began to gossip behind him. Many of them had already been informed by their own sons and daughters.
Chu Ci had just gotten up at this time. After washing and eating, she took the ointment to her brother's yard. She wanted to change her brother's medicine and go to Huichuntang for medical treatment early today.
When Chu Ci arrived at Chu Sheng's yard with the medicine box, he saw the figure of Marquis Chu as soon as he entered.
At first she was curious about why Lord Chu was here, but she soon realized that she was the most unwelcome person in the Lord Chu's Mansion.
"Chu Ci? Why are you here?"
"I'm here to change my brother's dressing."
Lord Chu nodded and left.
After Chu Ci changed Chu Sheng's medicine, he left immediately. "By the way, let's go to the clinic and let Chunhua come with us. Let her learn some medical knowledge from me."
Three little maids who knew martial arts followed closely and called Chunhua along.
The only one left in the whole yard was the housekeeper.
