Chapter 176.3
Xu Ji used very blunt words when he spoke today, an obvious sign that he had lost his patience. As for who it was that lost his patience, it naturally wasn’t himself, but Duke Xuguo behind him.
Actually, for Duke Xuguo to endure for such a long time was already beyond Jin Wang’s expectations. Last year, just before new year’s, Duke Xuguo had mentioned to him the matter of deposing Consort Jin and promoting Xu Yueru to be the new consort. Jin Wang had always ignored these people, yet who would’ve thought they would come looking for him so impatiently?
“Benwang thought benwang has already made it very clear to you. It is His Majesty’s intention not to depose the consort. Even if she is deposed, the position of the main consort won’t belong to a daughter of your Xu Family.”
Xu Ji probably did not expect Jin Wang to be so straightforward when speaking, so he felt quite embarrassed. But this embarrassment was only fleeting. He lowered his voice and threatened, “Your Highness Jin Wang, are you waiting for a better time or has someone else caught your eye? Being so ruthless, are you not afraid of offending my Duke Xuguo Manor?”
Jin Wang looked at him and just smiled coldly. Xu Ji probably knew there was no way to continue talking about this matter. He cupped his hands and said coldly, “I will pass this message to my master. I hope Your Highness will not regret it.”
Jin Wang ignored him and then proceeded to walk around him.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com
Xu Ji glanced at his back coldly, then hurried into an alley and disappeared.
As soon as Jin Wang stepped into Rongxi Courtyard, a fat cat entangled itself around him. It was Huahua.
Huahua’s hair was fluffy and smooth. It was already a big cat and it looked chubby, like a miniature leopard. It jumped up, and scrambled around Jin Wang’s feet in various ways, slipping back and forth between his legs, and Jin Wang struggled to move forward.
Yaoniang saw Jin Wang had returned through the window, but when she didn’t see him entering after a long time, she came out to take a look out of curiosity. When saw such a scene, she laughed and said, “Huahua, if you continue to pester him like this, be careful to not get grounded again. Even though you get punished every time, you never seem to remember it.”
It was unknown whether Huahua understood or not. It didn’t even look at Yaoniang and just walked around Jin Wang’s legs a few more times before sitting down by his feet.
Yaoniang looked around and saw no one around, so she whispered her thoughts to Jin Wang.
Jin Wang laughed. He laughed because Yaoniang looked so cute whispering like that. The thing was sneaking around like that was useless. If whispering information can hide it from the eyes and ears of others, there would be no walls with ears in this world.
Although Rongxi Courtyard seemed ordinary, there were many layers of guards hidden in the dark. Not even a fly could fly in from outside. The servants in this courtyard were also carefully selected. This was why eavesdropping was unlikely to happen here. Even if it did, no one dares to spread it outside.
Besides, there was still An Shi.
“Has this kind of thing ever happened to Hui Wang Shizi?”
Hearing this, Yaoniang was stunned for a moment.
Jin Wang pulled her over, tapped her pink lips, and said with dark eyes, “Father Emperor does everything with his own thoughts and intentions in mind. Don’t worry too much. Even if something goes wrong on his side, there’s still benwang’s people.”
Yaoniang thought for a while. It was unknown what she was thinking of but her eyes flickered and she said, “You’re saying that His Majesty...to Xiaobao... this...”
She started feeling a little panicked. It wasn’t really a surprise to her, but she couldn’t help worrying.
Jin Wang patted her. “That’s why I told you not to think too much. Xiaobao is only so old. It’s too early to say these things now. You just need to know that no one is stupid enough to deal with our son in the open, Even...” Even if there were someone, they wouldn’t resort to such dark methods.
“Even what?”
Jin Wang’s eyes flashed. “It’s nothing.”
