Capítulo 2403: Chapter 2400: Hatred Aroused
“Not only before Chu Heng wakes up, but even after that, you mustn’t have any accidents. You need to stay well. Don’t you want to spend more days together with him?”
“…I do.” Ye Muyu’s spirits were sowhat low, and she quietly whispered two words.
Lu Sangqi breathed a sigh of relief, “Then you need to take good care of yourself.”
“Regardless of whose hands Third Master Qi fell into, Minister Qi will definitely bla it on you, since after all, you are the one who tricked Third Master Qi. You must be careful in the future. The Qi family is no easy bunch to deal with, and they have considerable influence in private. No one even knows which officials in the court are Minister Qi’s people.”
“I know.” A fierce look flashed in Ye Muyu’s eyes.
She was perfectly clear about Minister Qi’s connections, but there was no need to tell Lu Sangqi about this.
After all, one never knows what might change in this lifeti.
Perhaps Minister Qi will have more people around him, so she truly needs to be extrely cautious.
At least, she doesn’t want anything to happen yet. She still needs to keep watch until Ah Heng wakes up.
“Then, be extra careful. I’ll send over so dicine for you in a while. Use Master Yuanhe’s dicine in the anti,” Lu Sangqi said.
Ye Muyu nodded, “Thank you.”
After seeing off Lu Sangqi, Ye Muyu looked at Chu Heng lying beside the bed, her eyes filled with sorrow.
Counting the days, Chu Heng had already been in a coma for two months. Why hasn’t he woken up yet?
She reached out and touched his face, her eyes turning dim.

She felt a bit troubled, yet she never thought of giving up.
Qi Residence.
Minister Qi ca out from the palace without even seeing the Emperor, indicating that he was truly dissatisfied with him.
Minister Qi secretly harbored hatred in his heart. Initially, he just wanted to help King Qi ascend and earn rit for following the dragon, but now his resentnt towards the Imperial Clan was growing more profound.
“Master, what should we do? Now that Third Master is dead, Madam Wang isn’t helping to handle Third Master’s affairs. Instead, she’s being petty and focusing all her attention on Third Master’s concubine. That concubine has been kept outside for so many years—can she have a better life than Third Lady of the Qi Family? Besides, it was Madam Wang who couldn’t bear children herself. What’s wrong if Third Master kept a concubine? It’s just so silver, could it possibly compare to the family’s main inco?”
“Shut up.” Minister Qi rebuked sharply, a look of displeasure flashing in his eyes. “Standing behind Madam Wang is the entire Jiangnan Academy. Now that sothing has happened to Third Master, shouldn’t you go and win over Madam Wang instead of creating a rift over such a trivial matter?”
“Master, you are scolding for the sake of Madam Wang?” The Senior Lady widened her eyes, twisting the handkerchief, feeling aggrieved in her heart.
“Lady, now that the Qi family has lost Third Master, it ans the Qi family will lose a lot of taels of silver in the future. Do you still want to have conflicts with over this?” Minister Qi didn’t argue, instead he laid out the reality for her.
The Senior Lady of the Qi family indeed showed a slight change in expression, for she couldn’t possibly ignore matters involving silver taels.
“By the way, Master, Third Master was responsible for so many things. Now that he’s suddenly gone, won’t things fall into chaos?”
“And shouldn’t we send soone to retrieve all those silver taels given out from in the palace?”
“I will handle these matters. For now, go to Madam Wang and tell her, with Third Master gone, we cannot be left without an heir. Since the child has already been born, have her adopt the child as her own. As for the child’s mother, send her away as far as possible.”
Upon hearing this, the Senior Lady’s eyes glistened, and she asked, “Master, what about the properties under Third Master’s na? How should they be divided?”
Minister Qi’s deep eyes fixed on her.
