153 Visitation

Elder Sun got someone to send Chu Ning home and take care of him in case of any accidents. He could understand Chu Ning’s feelings, but he did not know what would happen if they let Chu Ning leave alone.

How could his heart not ache? He had thought very highly of Chu Liuyue and even wanted her to take her as his disciple. If not for Uncle-Master Ye, Elder Sun actually might have become her mentor.

Elder Sun also felt miserable, having helplessly watched a star student fall before his eyes.

After sending Chu Ning away, Elder Sun locked himself in his room for a long time.

…

The half-dead Chu Yan was sent back to the Chu family, but it did not cause much commotion. Instead, many Chu family members were there to laugh at them.

Ever since Chu Liuyue came and took away a rather large sum of the Chu family’s assets, almost everyone hated Chu Yan and Lu Yao to their cores. The two of them abused their positions to embezzle funds and make trouble. Thanks to them, the Chu family was almost bankrupt.

If they hadn’t intended to make the couple pay them back, they would have chased them out of the family already.

It would be great if we could bring him down now!

First Elder laughed coldly. “Chu Ning will collapse without us doing anything. Chu Liuyue was his only hope. Now that she’s dead, he will be crushed. The trauma from back then was enough to keep him depressed for a decade. He only survived because of Chu Liuyue. Now that she’s dead, he has lost all hope. He’s as good as dead.”

With only Chu Ning left, we have all the time to deal with him.

“Such a pity… Chu Liuyue died out there so easily… It was too easy on her…” First Elder muttered. He could only vent his hatred if he had gotten rid of Chu Liuyue personally!

“Did you hear anything from the Crown Prince’s side? Why has His Majesty been so cold to him recently?” First Elder changed the topic after a while.

“The palace has kept it quiet. We haven’t managed to get any information despite all our efforts. However, there’s one strange thing. The Crown Prince was urgently summoned to the palace on the night of his marriage to Third Missy. Nobody knows what they talked about, but the Crown Prince has not left his residence since he returned. The Third Prince also entered the palace before that…”

“This has something to do with the Third Prince?”

“We’re not sure, but the Third Prince is being kept here in the Imperial City by His Majesty. He has not returned to the Northwest Army. However, I’m sure he won’t sit around and wait for his doom.”

First Elder knitted his brows tightly. I sent out a calling card the other day, but it was turned down. It is quite clear that the Crown Prince’s situation is much worse than we had imagined.

The burning sensation on her face was nothing compared to her self-reproach and guilt!

“Wu—” The golden mane bear cub felt the deep sadness emanating from Mu Hongyu. It stumbled over and whined as it hugged her arm.

Mu Hongyu buried her head in her arms and sobbed silently.

A knock came from the door at this point.

Mu Hongyu looked up hurriedly. She wiped away her tears and dragged her sore and tired body to the door. “Who is it?”

Her expression then turned cold when she saw the person at the door. Without any hesitation, she closed the door.

Even though the person at the door was wearing a veil and only revealed a pair of eyes, Mu Hongyu immediately knew that it was Chu Xianmin!

“Hey… hang on!” Chu Xianmin pulled the door and stopped Mu Hongyu’s actions. “I came to visit because I heard that you’re injured. Why are you so eager to close the door?” Chu Xianmin spoke as she eyed Mu Hongyu’s face.
