Hearing her sister’s words, Chu Qingli said expressionlessly, “Since Sister also knows he has grown up, why do you still linger by his side?”

“He has so many powerful people around him now, even that woman surnamed Bai is stronger than Sister. Sister, you are now an expendable presence in the North Prince Mansion.”

Upon hearing Chu Qingli’s words, Chu Yuqin’s memories vanished in an instant, and she turned her head to look at Chu Qingli and said, “Qingli, you’ve been in the North Prince Mansion for so long, yet I feel like you still haven’t given up?”

Chu Qingli’s gaze turned towards the study as she said, “As long as Sister has not extricated herself from suffering, it’s impossible for me to give up.”

After hearing Chu Qingli’s words, Chu Yuqin let out a slight sigh and then said, “To me, Chen’er is the most important person. I will never leave his side and 1 don’t think it’s suffering for me to be there.”

Chu Qingli spoke indifferently, “The reason Sister thinks this way is merely because you’ve been hypnotized by him.”

“One day, 1 will wake Sister up, and you’ll see the evil side of this man.”

“I believe that by then, even if 1 don’t say anything, Sister will leave the North Prince Mansion on her own.”

Seeing that Chu Qingli was still stubborn, Chu Yuqin simply discontinued the topic as she felt anything else she said would be futile.

But then again, with her sister constantly in the Prince’s Mansion, how was she supposed to attend to Lu Chen?

At that thought, Chu Yuqin’s face grew a little hot.

She had asked Lu Chen for some time the last time, and before she knew it, so much time had passed without fulfilling her promise. She feared that if she continued to procrastinate, Lu Chen might think she had broken her word.

It seemed like she needed to find an opportunity to send her sister away. Only once her sister had left the Prince’s Mansion could she fulfill her promise and attend to Lu Chen.

But how should she send her away?

After thinking for a while, Chu Yuqin then said to Chu Qingli, “Qingli, life in the North Prince Mansion might be somewhat dull for someone who’s always running around like you, causing you to overthink things. Why don’t you leave the North Prince Mansion temporarily, go out to clear your mind, and perhaps after some time, you won’t overthink anymore.”

Hearing this, Chu Qingli immediately showed a skeptical expression, and then she said, “Sister, are you trying to send me away so that you can do indecent things with that man?”

Seeing that her sister had instantly seen through her thoughts, Chu Yuqin’s face flared up even hotter, and she felt incredibly ashamed.

Without a good reason, it was indeed difficult to send her own sister away.

Chu Yuqin then stubbornly said, “Qingli, I am Chen’er’s aunt, how can you think such thoughts!”

“Forget it, there’s no use in saying more to you, since you won’t listen anyway.”

Saying this, Chu Yuqin turned and left, or more accurately, fled from the place. She felt that if she stayed any longer, her sister might discern even more, her intuition was too sharp, somehow guessing right away that she wanted to send her away.

At the moment, Chu Yuqin regretted having allowed Chu Qingli to enter the North Prince Mansion. It’s easy to invite the divine but hard to send it away; now that she had let her in, it would not be easy to make her leave.

Watching the retreating figure of Chu Yuqin, Chu Qingli always felt Chu Yuqin and Lu Chen had done some indecent things.

But she had no evidence, only conjecture.

At that moment, Chu Qingli turned her head again toward the study not far away.

The man in the study was the root of all evil. If she could handle the man in the study, perhaps her sister could free herself from suffering.

With that thought, Chu Qingli headed straight for the study, feeling it was time for a serious talk with Lu Chen.

However, just as she reached the door of the study, a Jinyiwei Guard hurried to the study, and before she could speak, the Jinyiwei Guard spoke first, “Prince, the Prefectural Government has sent several hundred thousand taels of silver, saying it is for the road repairs the Prince wanted, and the officials have volunteered to donate this money for the construction.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen, who was writing reform plans in the study, was momentarily stunned. Coming to his senses, he immediately put down his brush and came out the door.

Upon opening the door of the study, Lu Chen first glanced at Chu Qingli, then his gaze fell on the Jinyiwei Guard.

“Where is the silver?”

The Jinyiwei Guard answered, “In the outer courtyard, just arrived.”

Lu Chen immediately said, “Bring the silver to the grand hall of the Prince’s Mansion, I want to have a look.”

With these words, Lu Chen’s gaze turned back to Chu Qingli, “Qingli, did you need something from me?”

Chu Qingli was taken aback, indeed she had intended to talk to Lu Chen, but after being interrupted by the Jinyiwei Guard, her desire to talk dissipated instantly.

She suddenly felt as if she were possessed, how could she ever think of seeking a private talk with Lu Chen?

Chu Qingli replied, “It’s nothing, I was just patrolling the area.”

Lu Chen indifferently said, “Oh, is that so? Then, I shall leave first.”

Chu Qingli hastily stepped aside, “Prince, take your time.”

After that, Lu Chen went to the outer courtyard’s hall where, not long after, the Prince’s Mansion servants carried several large chests of silver into the hall.

Seeing the chests in the hall, Lu Chen’s face revealed an odd smile, whether of joy or something else. He then said, “Open up the chests..”
