Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me
Chapter 12 They recognize money, and it just so happens that... I have money
The next second, a chuckle was heard.
The man squatting in the garden put down the wooden ladle he was using to water the plants, turned his head to look over with rare curiosity, and stretched out his hand.
"Show it to me."
The subordinate immediately bent over and handed the thing over.
Ji Cheng shook the letter in his hand and when he heard nothing, he stood up, stretched, and sat down in the pavilion. He asked questions casually while reading the letter.
"Who sent it? Has Xue seen it in advance?"
The subordinate was a little nervous. He spoke cautiously and explained a few words in a tactful way, then handed something over.
"The person who delivered the letter specifically said they were worried someone might have poisoned or tampered with the letter, so they checked it carefully and sent it as quickly as possible. Also here is a letter of explanation from the Snow Palace."
Ji Cheng opened the first letter he received first. As soon as he unfolded the letter, the smile on his face suddenly froze, scaring his subordinates who were secretly observing him so much that they couldn't help but tremble.
But she couldn't help but look up and glance at him quickly again, and saw the man quickly opened the second letter.
Ji Cheng looked at him silently for a long time before he suddenly raised his lips and chuckled.
"I haven't been out for a long time. It seems the world outside is becoming more and more exciting."
This time, even his subordinates were a little surprised and asked without thinking, "Are you going out?"
"Did I say I was going out? Are the children home?"
Ji Cheng slowly burned both letters to destroy the evidence, then raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.
The subordinate thought for a moment and replied, "The four Palace Masters of Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning are all out. Only the Moon Palace and the Flower Palace are at home now."
Ji Cheng slowly poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip before speaking.
"Go quietly and tell Ah Yue to come find me tomorrow morning and do something for me."
The subordinate nodded immediately in response, and when he didn't have any other reply, he quickly withdrew.
The secret door was soon opened again, and the inaudible sound soon disappeared, and the garden returned to peace again.
Ji Cheng stared at the ashes left after the burnt letter on the table and was silent for a long time before speaking.
"Someone sent me a letter saying they want to see me. Do you think I should go?"
But there was only silence in the air without any answer.
Ji Cheng didn't mind and continued talking while staring at the ashes.
"Axue's letter said the other party had given Ah Hua a code word, and she even left a note saying she was looking for me. But the person who said that was actually a child. How credible do you think it is?"
He was clearly the only one in the back garden, and the way he spoke to himself was really weird, but what was even weirder was that a voice actually rang out of nowhere the next second.
"You want to go?"
This time, Ji Cheng was silent for even longer, and only sighed after a while.
(General's Mansion)
Fu Chen's face had darkened. He stared at the two daring brats, gritted his teeth, and his big hands were ready to move.
"Do you know what the Ferry Pavilion is? They sell intelligence and save lives. They only care about money and kill without blinking an eye! How did you know about this place?"
"Of course I have my own connections. Didn't you say that? They only care about money, and it just so happens that... I have money."
Mu Qingli looked at him calmly the whole time, neither surprised nor angry. After all, she had already predicted all his reactions.
As a general, her father naturally only received the salary from the court, but her mother's family was rich. The richest man in Jiangdong had only one daughter, so naturally he doted on her. Her mother also loved her so she had never lacked money since she was born.
Mu Fushu looked at Fu Chen's face and felt a little uneasy, so he quickly spoke up to protect his sister.
"Foster father, we have already agreed on this matter. You don't need to persuade us anymore. We will do it even without you. Whether we help or not is up to you."
But compared to outsiders, they naturally trust their family members more.
Compared to her brother's anxiety, Mu Qingli was still very calm. After all, she knew that with her adoptive father's personality, he would eventually agree to their request.
He lived a carefree and childless life and had long treated the brother and sister as his own children. Every birthday and festival would be filled with gifts from them. If he had not died on the battlefield with his father in his previous life, she would have had someone to protect her in the end.
She thought about it and took out a token from her pocket and handed it over.
"With this, I can mobilize 20% of the income from all the stores under the Cheng family. I will use it as the cost of training those children. I want to use five years of your time to train talents for me. During these five years, it is up to you who you want to hire, how much money you want to spend, and what methods you want to use.
But after five years, I want them to be able to gain a foothold and hide themselves in every place in Beijing, ready to be ordered at any time. Don't worry, I have already thought of a reason to convince my father, and I guarantee that no one in the family will suspect you even if you disappear for five years."
Great, it looked like these two kids had really discussed this, didn't they? This step and this arrangement clearly anticipated everything in advance. He couldn't find any reason to refuse after hearing this. Most importantly... he didn't want to refuse.
Fu Chen gritted his teeth and glared at the two children, but finally drank up the tea with a sullen face, which to some extent meant that he agreed.
Cheng Qin just came into the mansion after returning from the banquet. He turned his head and asked subconsciously.
"Where's Xiao Fu? Is he still with the two kids?"
Lianxiang had just come back with her so how would she know all this? She simply stretched out her hand to call a maid over to ask and then turned around to explain to her.
"It is said that Master Fu is still with the young master and the young lady, over at the Shuixin Pavilion. Do you want to go over now? Or should you go back and change your clothes first?"
Cheng Qin had been busy attending banquets these days and was indeed a little tired. He pressed his eyebrows and nodded.
"Okay, go back and change your clothes first, and ask the kitchen to send some pastries over. We can eat there tonight. I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had time to treat Xiao Fu to a proper meal."
Lianxiang smiled and nodded, helped her back to Yilanxuan to change clothes, and teased her with a smile.
"Don't worry, Master Fu is a carefree and unrestrained person, so why would he care about these things? He enjoys spending time with children. Who knows, you might find them making a fuss when you go there later."
Hearing the hint of sarcasm in her words, Cheng Qin felt in a good mood and smiled along.
"You know what, sometimes I feel like Xiao Fu is like a child, but he is very reliable when it comes to getting things done. I don't know how he gets along with his master on a daily basis."
Everyone in the mansion treated Fu Chen as a family member, so Cheng Qin didn't bring many people with him. He changed his clothes and took Lianxiang to Shuixin Pavilion.
Who knew that when I got there, I saw Qilan standing at the end of the path, looking like she was taking a walk.
Cheng Qin felt something was wrong and hurried over to ask.
"Qilan, what are you doing here? Where's Ali?"
