Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1424 - 1362: Tragically Taking the Fall

The Crown Prince of Nanyue is a benevolent man, but unfortunately, his health is frail. It’s said that his only heir is also in poor health, inherently weak, and whether he can stand firm is still uncertain.

The two remained silent for a moment.

"Miss." Mo Lan called from the door: "Chi Wu has returned."

"Come in and report." Wufu straightened her body.

Chi Wu strode in boldly, cupped his hands in salute, and said: "As you expected, that father and son took the silver and planned to run away."

"They didn’t even care about that woman?" Wufu raised an eyebrow.

"With one hundred taels of silver, it’s enough for them to marry a new wife." Chi Wu chuckled.

Wufu laughed with a sneer. If that woman knew her man and son intended to leave her behind, who knows how cold her heart would feel, but what did that matter to her?

"Did you find out anything?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"It was that woman who was involved in the affair, and the man doesn’t know much. He only followed his wife’s lead, and it’s said that a woman sought them out for this matter." As Chi Wu spoke, he handed the portrait they obtained to Wufu.

Wufu glanced at it: a sharp face, big eyes, small mouth, with a red mole between the eyebrows, then handed it back: "Investigate the people around Princess Ping Xi and Wu Yining, or the Wu Family."

Bai Xiaobai was surprised: "You knew who was up to mischief all along, it’s someone you brought in!"

"Go on!" Wufu waved her hand. Only then did she look at Bai Xiaobai and said: "Yes, I brought them in. What can you do about it?"

All right, if I can’t afford to offend, I can at least avoid.

Bai Xiaobai retracted his neck and looked away.

Since this farce at Zining Pavilion was orchestrated by someone, naturally, someone would be keeping an eye on it. Upon learning that the matter was exposed, they hurried back to report it.

Wu Yining was called before Princess Ping Xi, Song Jiaoer, and was harshly scolded.

"What a great idea you came up with, it couldn’t withstand scrutiny. Now, it’s all falling apart, and if it involves me, Princess, what a useless waste, can’t even handle a small task! Seems you’re even less than a young wife!"

Wu Yining was scolded so much that her face turned red and then blue, feeling utterly embarrassed, she lightly bit her lip and said: "Commandery Princess, it was that little slut who was fortunate..."

"Fortunate?" Song Jiaoer poked her forehead with her forefinger and said: "You came up with such a lousy idea without even investigating thoroughly, clearly showing your incompetence and lack of ability! If you had known beforehand that Wu Fu had a brother who was a divine physician treating the Crown Prince’s health, would I have allowed you to do this? Now that the matter has reached the Crown Prince, you’ve put me at risk of ruin!"

Wu Yining could never have imagined that Wufu would have such backing, but she dared not contradict Ping Xi. Still, she felt deeply aggrieved, knowing full well that Princess Ping Xi herself wanted that shop, or why else would she cooperate in this extortion? Even the medicine came from Prince Wei’s Manor, and now that things are going awry, she is blamed for everything!

Though her heart was unjust, she dared not show a hint of it on her face and had to respond with a forced smile.

"Let me tell you, I am completely unaware of this matter. You were the one who couldn’t stand that plebeian and wanted to suppress her, this is your business, unrelated to me, the Commandery Princess, do you understand?" Song Jiaoer looked at her and said.

Wu Yining’s face turned pale, this means she is to take all the blame!

Song Jiaoer continued: "The people are yours as well, I advise you to deal with them quickly, lest someone genuinely investigates and finds out. Then, hmph, you’ll be the one embarrassed!"

"Commandery Princess..." Wu Yining looked at her in shock. To deal with them, does it mean to kill them to silence them?

"Useless, go quickly!" Song Jiaoer glared at her.
