Capítulo 2417: Chapter 2414: Probing

Lu Sangqi heard her question, although dissatisfied that her focus was not in line with his expectations, there was not much he could do.

“Yes, however, Chu Ziluo possesses quite the skill. She was initially mocked for wearing gaudy jewelry, which was obviously meant to undermine her shop.”

“However,” Lu Sangqi’s expression turned peculiar, “Chu Ziluo seemed to be prepared and wore the jewelry gifted by the emperor, leaving those young misses speechless.”

“Although this time Chu Ziluo did not suffer a setback, unless she remains as strong, sooner or later there’ll be a time when she loses face.”

“Of course, the most crucial thing is, Chu Ziluo is now the Prospective Princess Consort, and these female family members are clearly making things difficult for her, demonstrating their wish to destroy the marriage alliance. Even if they can’t destroy it, they can make Chu Ziluo’s situation in Prince Rong’s Mansion difficult.”

“As you know, regardless of Prince Rong’s own thoughts, if the Princess Consort can’t even build connections outside and faces resistance, he will surely feel dissatisfaction. Over time, even if resentment doesn’t arise now, it will in the future.”

Ye Muyu pondered, she anticipated this and didn’t think Chu Ziluo couldn’t handle it.

But having Lu Sangqi point out news she hadn’t heard of, her mood sank slightly.

She understood that Chu Ziluo deliberately concealed it so as not to worry her.

“How did you know about this?” Normally, if it was widely known, she couldn’t possibly not know, the only possibility is that this matter hasn’t spread.

“It was Huo Ning who told me.” Lu Sangqi touched his nose, feeling a bit uneasy.

Upon hearing this name, Ye Muyu suddenly thought of something and asked, “Does Huo Ning know Madame Yue?”

“Who is Madame Yue?” Hearing the unfamiliar name, Lu Sangqi furrowed his brow.

“She is the mistress kept outside by Elder Qi San.” Ye Muyu said.

Lu Sangqi realized, “So it’s her, I’ve heard of her, but how do you know Huo Ning knows Madame Yue?”

“I want to enlist Huo Ning for a task.” Ye Muyu knew earlier about the Qi family matters from investigating Madame Yue and Qi Yun, though not in detail.

Yet she could deduce quite a bit, and now, given the news of Minister Qi stopping Third Madam Qi from contacting her native family, she’s sure Third Madam Qi may have a falling-out with Minister Qi.

But this is not surprising, given Minister Qi’s personality, once Third Madam Qi developed a rebellious mindset, he wouldn’t indulge her anymore.

For a selfish person, to have supported Third Madam Qi for so many years is already quite commendable.

Although Ye Muyu was asking Lu Sangqi, she felt certain of it.

Lu Sangqi furrowed his brow, “Sister, what do you want to do?”

“Just to have her deliver a message for me.” Ye Muyu finished speaking, paused, and looked at him, “Of course, if Minister Qi finds out, it might implicate her.”

Lu Sangqi’s expression stiffened slightly, a bit anxious, “Sister, what are you planning to do?”

Ye Muyu looked at him, “There’s an issue between Minister Qi and Third Madam Qi, and now Minister Qi wants to seize control of the Wang family before they react. I need to send a message to Lady Wang the Third.”

“Just send a message?” Lu Sangqi hesitated and asked.

“Precisely.” Ye Muyu looked at him with a complex expression.

Seeing her expression, Lu Sangqi suddenly became a bit displeased, “Sister, what do you mean, don’t you trust me to help you?”

“It’s not that, just surprised you hesitated.”
