Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Hearing her words, Chi Linghua frowned and remained silent for a long time, and Du Wenxiu's heart gradually sank.

Yue Niang was so anxious that she didn't care about anything else and secretly winked at Chi Linghua.

Chi Linghua saw it, but his brows did not relax.

After a long time, seeing Du Wenxiu's face becoming more and more gloomy, Chi Linghua sighed and said:

"Please come into the house and talk, Madam Du."

As he said this, he went in first, sat down in front of the desk where Cheng Suying usually saw patients, and said:

"I have something to say to Madam Du, please give me some convenience."

Cheng Suying had no choice but to bring her daughter out. Du Wenxiu had a dark face and stepped in, but then felt something was wrong.

She stepped out and glanced at Yue Niang, who was paying attention to her. She hurriedly took small steps forward, followed her in, turned around and gently closed the door.

Seeing her come in, Chi Linghua pursed his lips slightly, but in the end he said nothing.

"Madam Du, you really misunderstood Brother Lu." Chi Linghua whispered to Du Wenxiu who was standing not far from him.

Du Wenxiu was confused at the moment. She didn't know what confidential matter it was that made Prince Ning have to be so cautious when he had already ascended the throne.

Seeing that she was silent, Chi Linghua glanced at Yue Niang again, but saw that she was staring at him. He couldn't help but sigh and said:

"Madam Du, although the emperor has ascended the throne, Queen Mother Rong refused to make the King of England the crown prince. The emperor went along with it and agreed, which is the source of our current situation."

Du Wenxiu turned around in surprise and looked at Chi Linghua. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of confusion.

Anyway, since he had already opened his mouth, Chi Linghua didn't care what to say or what not to say.

"The current emperor loves fame and insists on being a benevolent and righteous ruler. But the King of England always rushes to the front, and it is the former emperor..."

Chi Linghua looked at Yue Niang again, who was listening attentively. Seeing that he was glancing at her endlessly, Yue Niang glared at her immediately, and Chi Linghua quickly turned his head away.

"After the death of the late emperor, Brother Lu made great efforts..." Chi Linghua's voice became smaller and smaller, but Du Wenxiu and Yue Niang could hear it clearly.

The two looked at each other in shock, and then couldn't help shivering.

They understood the deeper meaning behind Chi Linghua's words.

It’s just that Lu Fanghai, who looks honest and simple on weekdays, has accomplished such a great thing quietly.

"If the current emperor does not pass the throne to the King of England, it would be an insult to the King of England who has fought bravely on the battlefield, and would also give him something to talk about."

"But the emperor really dotes on Concubine Yu, and earlier he just needed his eldest son to help. Earlier, outside the capital, the emperor got drunk and let it slip..."

"To say that you have two sons, one dies on the battlefield, and the other inherits the throne, is the best thing in life..."

Du Wenxiu felt terrified, his hands and legs were shaking.

He propped himself up and took a deep breath, then found a chair nearby and sat down.

Because of my sentimental feelings, I was afraid that I would die if I heard such royal secrets.

Chi Linghua had been holding back something for a long time, and now that he had opened his mouth, he poured out everything that was in his mind.

"We feel sorry for the King of England, but what's the use? Now I'm afraid that the Emperor will do something secretly like he did to the last emperor."

"The first one to bear the brunt is Brother Lu. Brother Lu is a prefect, and his rank is granted by the emperor himself. Under such circumstances, how dare he let Madam Du go to the capital."

"If we go, we will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, and there will be many dangers." Chi Linghua sighed, his eyes slightly red.

Everyone in the room was silent. They all said that serving a king is like serving a tiger. I am afraid that this is the disaster that Lu Fanghai will find hard to overcome.

Only if the King of England can get through it can he talk about the future of his life.

But ten fingers are of different lengths, and who can do anything about this kind of thing when parents are partial to one another?

I just hope that the current emperor will remember that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. Even if he wants to establish his youngest son as the heir, he must find a way to save the King of England's life.

But seeing how they are operating now, they don't look like they are going to sit and wait for death.

"Could it be that the King of England wants to - force the emperor to abdicate?" Du Wenxiu's voice was as low as a mosquito's buzz.

But the room was quiet, and the two of them were concentrating on listening to her, so they could hear everything clearly.

Yue Niang was startled and stood up, while Chi Linghua looked at Du Wenxiu with burning eyes.

Du Wenxiu immediately shook his head and said no more.

"Now Dongxing County is the base of King Ying. Wang Dongchang, the county school instructor, was sent by King Ning to supervise us. However, we have leverage over him, so we dare not act rashly for the time being."

"But it's hard to say after so long. Even if Madam Du doesn't come to stop me this time, I will find a chance to meet Madam Du."

"I had thought I would explain the matter to Madam Du before I left, but I didn't expect that Madam Du would be as smart as Brother Lu said..."

Chi Linghua lowered his head and smiled slightly, and was very appreciative of Du Wenxiu.

Yue Niang was startled again and looked at him with wide eyes: "You still want to leave?"

"Yes." Chi Linghua nodded. "If Wang Dongchang has any more leverage against me, it would be too exhausting to prevent him from reporting me."

"It would be better to stop the business in Dongxing County, put it into secret, and then send someone else to take over my responsibilities. This arrangement would be more appropriate."

Yue Niang looked a little gloomy and sat aside without saying a word.

However, Du Wenxiu sensed something profound in Chi Linghua's words.

"Seeing that our business is on the right track and will only make more money in the future, Master Chi is really willing to give up like this?"

Chi Linghua smiled bitterly: "Of course I am reluctant to give it up. But compared with the great event of the King of England, if I lose money, I can earn it again, but if I lose a person, then it is all gone."

"But you just left without saying anything, coaxing us into building such a big business, and now you have no sales channels, aren't you just screwing us over?"

Yue Niang now realized the situation that her Wen Yue Fang would face after Chi Linghua left, and she couldn't help but stand up from her chair and said anxiously.

"Ah." Chi Linghua sighed, "This...I don't want to do that either. It's just...ah."

Yue Niang was so anxious that she almost cried: "How could you cheat me like this?"

Du Wenxiu hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be like this, it's fate, Master Chi didn't do this on purpose."

"But, but, what about our Wenyuefang? There are so many people eating with us!"

Yue Niang was so anxious that she started crying.

Chi Linghua sat in the shadows of the house, sighing and saying nothing.

Well, Du Wenxiu thought, in the end I have to build this ladder myself.

"I just wonder if there is a perfect way that will not sacrifice the business here, but also allow Master Chi to get out of this situation smoothly."

Du Wenxiu said seriously, "It's not that I'm considering my own business. Young Master Chi's hasty escape may make him more suspicious, and it may alert the enemy."

Chi Linghua looked a little stern, thought for a moment, and saluted Du Wenxiu with his fists:

"Mrs. Du is so careful and reminded me that I almost missed something important. But this foolproof plan..."

Hearing that there was a chance of a turn for the better, Yue Niang stopped sobbing and listened quietly to the two of them discussing.

But they seemed to be unable to think of any good solution in their haste, and they just stood there frozen, without making a sound.
