Huangxiu

Chapter 72 Means
After hearing what the green-robed middle-aged man said, no one looked at Chu Zhiyuan's expression.

Chu Zhiyuan was the most sensitive and angry at this time.

Cheng Tianfeng, the prince of Dazhen, actually coveted Chu Zhiyuan's woman. He was simply lawless and reckless.

Chu Zhiyuan knew how angry he was just by thinking about it.

If it were me, if my woman was coveted and plotted against, I would definitely seek revenge at all costs, no matter if he was the Crown Prince of Dazhen or not.

Even if Dajing and Dazhen are to form an alliance now, revenge at this time will damage the relationship between the two countries, so revenge must be taken.

Since Cheng Tianfeng is not afraid of destroying the alliance between the two countries, why should I worry about this!

Chu Zhiyuan was indeed filled with anger.

Even though he had the god-like calmness born of supersensory perception, he was still angry at this moment.

No matter what Cheng Tianfeng's intention was, he shouldn't have extended his claws to Xiao Ruoling. It would be a great humiliation to himself.

What made him even more angry was that Cheng Tianfeng did not take the alliance between the two countries into consideration at all. This not only humiliated himself, but also humiliated the entire Dajing.

Does he represent the attitude of the entire Dazhen, or just the attitude of a part of the people in Dazhen?

Cheng Tianfeng is the last disciple of the national master and the direct disciple of Wen Tianya. Does he also represent Wen Tianya's attitude?

So, is the alliance between Dazhen and Dajing true or false?
Is it a temporary expedient or a trick?

Huang Shirong whispered, "Prince?"

"Well, that's it." Chu Zhiyuan said slowly: "Everyone should just pretend that you don't know what happened today."

"It will never be spread out." Huang Shirong nodded slightly and looked at Ma Tianhe.

Ma Tianhe nodded hurriedly: "Of course."

Xiao Ruoyu seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Although Chu Zhiyuan had his back to him, he could see everything clearly and said, "It's okay if the young master told your sister."

Xiao Ruoyu nodded quickly.

This matter cannot be hidden from my elder sister.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced in the direction of Sifang Pavilion and sighed: "This Prince Dazhen is really..."

Huang Shirong frowned: "It is said that this Eagle Prince is very wise and brave, how could he be so lustful?"

"How do you know he didn't do it on purpose?" Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "Just assume he's obsessed with sex."

Huang Shirong seemed to be thinking about something.

She heard Chu Zhiyuan's unfinished meaning.

Is there any change in the alliance between Dazhen and Dajing?

Is it Dajing's wishful thinking?
Chu Zhiyuan was somewhat disinterested: "He handed it over to the Supervisory Department and left."

"Yes."

Everyone left the house.

Huang Shirong and Chu Zhiyuan said goodbye on the street.

She did not try to comfort him, knowing that it was useless to say more at this time, and it was best to pretend nothing had happened.

-

Xiao Ruoyu said goodbye to Chu Zhiyuan, hurried back to the Anguo Mansion, and went straight to the backyard.

The bright sunshine makes the lake sparkle, like countless gems piled up.

A pleasure boat was swaying gently on the lake.

Xiao Ruoyu stepped onto the lake as if walking on flat ground, floated onto the pleasure boat like a leaf, lifted the curtain and entered the boat.

Amidst the refreshing fragrance, Xiao Ruoling was reading at her desk.

Hearing the voice, she turned her head and looked over, her eyes quickly scanning him: "Xiao Hu, you are not in danger, right?"

Two little maids, Lu Xiaoqing and Cheng Ju, came over to greet them.

Cheng Ju served a cup of tea.

Xiao Ruoling was wearing a lake green robe, which was loose and baggy, revealing her graceful figure.

She gently put down the scroll in Yu's hand and said, "Drink some water first, then we'll talk."

Xiao Ruoyu had just drunk a cup of tea in the tea shop. Although he was not thirsty now, he still took a sip.

"Young Master, it's been so long, did you go with him?"

"Yes, I went with the Fourth Prince."

"Fourth Prince?"

Xiao Ruoyu looked at the two little maids, then looked at Xiao Ruoling.

Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "He's not an outsider, it's okay."

"This matter should not be spread outside. I promised it at the beginning."

"Then forget it. Don't break your oath."

"He said he could tell you, elder sister." Xiao Ruoyu thought for a moment, "This matter involves you, elder sister."

"Okay, let's talk about it. They are one with me."

Xiao Ruoyu had no choice but to tell the story again.

After the three girls heard this, the two little maids couldn't help themselves first.

"Young Master, is my uncle really that powerful?"

"It's too mysterious that we can catch the person behind the scenes just by relying on that invitation card?" "It's really that mysterious!" Xiao Ruoyu snorted.

He admired Chu Zhiyuan's ability, but didn't want to praise Chu Zhiyuan, and was very conflicted.

Lu Xiaoqing was puzzled: "Son-in-law has such ability, why doesn't he go to the Zhenwu Division or the Supervisory Division? It should be easy to make meritorious deeds, right?"

Xiao Ruoyu also looked at Xiao Ruoling in confusion.

Xiao Ruoling smiled.

She could vaguely guess the reason, but she didn't want to say more.

If your realm is not high enough and your ability to protect yourself is not strong enough, it will be very dangerous to enter the Zhenwu Division or the Supervisory Division.

After all, he is your future husband, so you still have to maintain his image.

Cheng Ju said softly: "Miss, the uncle really understands people's hearts."

Xiao Ruoling said: "Maybe it's due to the environment."

The prince's palace is much larger than the duke's palace, and has many more people, so it is like a small society.

The palace was in decline. As the head of the family, he had to appease the people and prevent them from leaving, while maintaining his authority. It is easy to imagine how difficult it was.

This kind of situation is the most challenging one and may help one develop eyes that can see through people's hearts.

Of course, this requires sufficient insight.

Xiao Ruoyu said with emotion: "I have really learned a lot. Some things are very complicated."

I used to think that things in the world are too simple. I thought that as long as I had strong enough cultivation and enough power, everything would be easy and smooth.

Only now do I realize that the world has so many twists and turns and requires so much thought.

Xiao Ruoling frowned slightly, stroked the book with her slender fingers, and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, she slowly said, "Xiao Hu, the relationship between the Zhenwu Division and the Supervisory Division is very delicate, and this matter is also extremely sensitive. The Fourth Prince handled it quite well... but it is rare that he can suppress both sides."

"Sister, what do you mean?"

Xiao Ruoling told the story in detail, breaking down the key points and analyzing them for him.

If he couldn't control both sides, Huang Shirong and Ma Tianhe would definitely shirk responsibility and the two sides would start fighting directly.

For the Zhenwu Division, this was a great achievement, and also an opportunity to deal a severe blow to the Supervisory Division, thereby winning the hearts and minds of the Zhenwu Division's masters and thus enhancing her prestige.

For the people of Zhenwu Division, being able to give the Supervisory Division a heavy blow would be the most satisfying way and would win the hearts of the entire Zhenwu Division.

For the Inspectorate, it can be a great achievement or a serious offense, depending on how it is handled.

The best way is to drive Zhenwusi away directly and bite back at Zhenwusi.

Both sides restrained themselves, and this was definitely not just because of the prince's status.

An ordinary prince has limited influence on the Zhenwu Division and the Supervisory Division, so he would not let them do this.

Xiao Ruoyu nodded vigorously.

Xiao Ruoling then asked him to assume that he was the Prince of Qing, and how he would deal with it, how to do each step, and she would analyze what consequences would be caused.

Xiao Ruoyu nodded repeatedly, feeling that he had gained a lot.

"You are still young," Xiao Ruoling said, "and you haven't encountered so many things yet, but you should develop a habit now, observe carefully, understand people's hearts, and then control their hearts."

Xiao Ruoyu nodded vigorously.

He followed Chu Zhiyuan today and witnessed this scene in person. He also saw how Chu Zhiyuan handled the situation, which gave him a clear and concrete example.

If he was with Duke Anguo and saw these things, he would not feel anything. However, being with Chu Zhiyuan gave him a great touch.

"Miss, what will the son-in-law do next?" Lu Xiaoqing asked curiously, "Will he go to my house and scold me, or give him a lesson?"

She didn't think Chu Zhiyuan could swallow this.

No man can tolerate having his woman coveted, especially when she is the most beautiful woman in Yujing.

There are so many fights in the world because of women.

What's more, if I endure this, will anyone dare to bully me?

The Prince Qing's Mansion must not allow such a situation. It must immediately establish its authority and intimidate others.

"It won't get out of hand." Xiao Ruoling's bright eyes revealed a smile: "I'll cover it up first."

"How can you tolerate this?" Lu Xiaoqing was surprised.

Xiao Ruoyu also said curiously: "I don't think the Fourth Prince is someone who would compromise."

Although Chu Zhiyuan did not do anything overbearing, he just felt that he was very strong and overbearing.

This kind of thing must not be tolerated.

Xiao Ruoling said: "If we make a fuss, it will cause a stir in the whole city and damage our reputation."

"Then just endure it?" Lu Xiaoqing said.

Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "Just bear with it for a while. I will retaliate in the end. It just depends on whether I can find the opportunity."

If it were me, I would do the same.

Lu Xiaoqing said, "Miss, if it were me, I would sneak into Sifang Pavilion at night and give him a good beating to vent my anger."

Xiao Ruoling laughed: "There must be a Grand Master among the Dazhen envoys. How did they sneak in?"

"There is a grandmaster..." Lu Xiaoqing suddenly felt powerless: "Forget it, but I really can't bear this. I will be so angry that I can't sleep!"

While they were talking, Chu Zhiyuan was in Tingtao Courtyard, looking at Ma Tian and the dragon bones that had just been delivered.
