Translator: 549690339
“I… I have no money.” Chu Yu rubbed the corner of her clothes with both hands and put on a pitiful look. She said bashfully, “Eldest Uncle said that you have to be rich and gave me a lot of money. I originally had a lot of money, but my father said that his daughter must not be entangled with a luxurious life, so he only gave me some daily expenses and took away all my other money.” Chu Yu’s voice sounded even more aggrieved as she spoke.
Xu Bai raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.””Your Highness ‘teaching method is truly unique.”
Seeing Chu Yu’s pitiful state, Xu Bai took out some money from his pocket and handed it to her.
“Is this enough?”
“Enough, enough!” Chu Yu nodded her head as if she was a chick pecking at rice. She carefully took out a good-looking purse from her waist and put all the money into it. Then, she carefully hung the purse on her waist as if it was very precious.
“Alright, let’s start today’s class.”Xu Bai stretched his body, intending to finish teaching Chu Yu as soon as possible so that he could continue reading the progress bar.
Chu Yu picked up the small notebook and pretended to be fully focused as she prepared to start listening to the lecture.
Xu Bai picked up his teacup again and took a sip of tea. He was ready to explain today’s lesson.
He cleared his throat and was about to start when a voice interrupted him.
“Plop…”
The sound of flapping wings could be heard. Xu Bai turned around and saw a messenger pigeon in the courtyard.
There was a ring tied to the pigeon’s leg. Inside the ring was a piece of paper that was rolled into a long strip.
“Wait a moment.” Xu Bai frowned. He got up and went to the backyard. He picked up the messenger pigeon, took out the letter from it, and placed it on the table.
This was a message from the Yin Posthouse. It was sent to him by Liu Er.
Previously, when Liu Er returned to the Yin Posthouse, had said that if there was any news, he would inform him in time by pigeon.
Xu Bai opened the letter. After reading the contents, he frowned slightly and placed the letter on the table.
“Seventh Prince? Another member of the royal family. How interesting.”
According to the letter, the Seventh Prince’s subordinate was at the Yin Posthouse. The purpose of his visit was to see Xu Bai and ask him to hurry over. However, Liu Er could not grasp the propriety of the matter and sent a letter by pigeon first.
Chu Yu looked at the letter on the table curiously. She frowned slightly and her face was filled with displeasure.”So it’s that fellow.”
“Oh? You know him?” Xu Bai rubbed his chin and asked.
“Among all the members of the royal family, this Seventh Prince is the most arrogant one.”Chu Yu said.
“Arrogant?” “Isn’t that courting death?” Xu Bai asked.”
The Emperor of Great Chu had nine children, and this so-called Seventh Prince was at most the seventh oldest. Why was he the most arrogant one?
If a member of the royal family was arrogant, it was very likely that at some point, he would lose something very important, such as his life.
The members of the royal family did not have an easy life at all. They were careful with every step, afraid that if they took the wrong step, they would never be able to recover.
The so-called arrogance was the key to making people step into the abyss.
Among all the members of the royal family that Xu Bai knew, the ninth princess was very shrewd and held great financial power. As for the sixth prince, it could be seen from the subordinate named Zhou Qing that he was not a brainless person.
As for the Eighth Prince, he was just an unlucky bastard.
Putting everything else aside, the Eighth Prince’s plans were indeed very perfect. Unfortunately, he was always led by the nose by the Emperor, and in the end, he walked towards destruction.
Now that Chu Yu had told him that the Seventh Prince was an arrogant person, there was something fishy about it.
He was an arrogant person and a member of the royal family, but he could still live until now. It was simply a wonder.
“He has a reason to be arrogant.” Chu Yu scratched her head and said,” The concubine who gave birth to him is already dead. Moreover, she died on the battlefield. Back then, my uncle doted on that concubine very much. Hence, he developed this kind of personality because of his love for the house and its crow.””
At the mention of this, Chu Yu gestured with her hand, her face showing a hint of admiration.
“At that time, uncle fell into a trap and was trapped on a mountain. He was about to lose his life when the concubine, alone with a sword and 3,000 armored soldiers, suddenly attacked and rescued uncle. However, he was also seriously injured. After returning to the capital, he died after three months of recuperation.”
“I heard that when that concubine died, uncle cried loudly.”
Xu Bai was speechless.
Why did he always feel that there was another special attribute in Chu Yu, that she loved to gossip about others?
When it came to the Emperor crying loudly, his face was filled with the flames of gossip.
“It shouldn’t be.” Xu Bai thought to himself.
As the saying goes, a tiger father would not have a dog son. The Seventh Prince’s mother was so brave and good at fighting. She could save the Emperor from a mountain of blades and a sea of flames with a sword and three thousand armored soldiers. How could her son be an arrogant person?
“Maybe he is pretending to be in the stage of ‘God’.” Xu Bai thought.
If it was an act, it was possible.
But no matter what, he had already thought of how to reply to the Seventh Prince’s subordinate.
Xu Bai took a pen and paper and wrote down the contents. He placed it on the carrier pigeon’s leg and let it fly..
