CapĂtulo 2403: Chapter 2400: Hatred Aroused
âNot only before Chu Heng wakes up, but even after that, you mustnât have any accidents. You need to stay well. Donât you want to spend more days together with him?â
ââŠI do.â Ye Muyuâs spirits were somewhat low, and she quietly whispered two words.
Lu Sangqi breathed a sigh of relief, âThen you need to take good care of yourself.â
âRegardless of whose hands Third Master Qi fell into, Minister Qi will definitely blame it on you, since after all, you are the one who tricked Third Master Qi. You must be careful in the future. The Qi family is no easy bunch to deal with, and they have considerable influence in private. No one even knows which officials in the court are Minister Qiâs people.â
âI know.â A fierce look flashed in Ye Muyuâs eyes.
She was perfectly clear about Minister Qiâs connections, but there was no need to tell Lu Sangqi about this.
After all, one never knows what might change in this lifetime.
Perhaps Minister Qi will have more people around him, so she truly needs to be extremely cautious.
At least, she doesnât want anything to happen yet. She still needs to keep watch until Ah Heng wakes up.
âThen, be extra careful. Iâll send over some medicine for you in a while. Use Master Yuanheâs medicine in the meantime,â Lu Sangqi said.
Ye Muyu nodded, âThank you.â
After seeing off Lu Sangqi, Ye Muyu looked at Chu Heng lying beside the bed, her eyes filled with sorrow.
Counting the days, Chu Heng had already been in a coma for two months. Why hasnât he woken up yet?
She reached out and touched his face, her eyes turning dim.

She felt a bit troubled, yet she never thought of giving up.
Qi Residence.
Minister Qi came out from the palace without even seeing the Emperor, indicating that he was truly dissatisfied with him.
Minister Qi secretly harbored hatred in his heart. Initially, he just wanted to help King Qi ascend and earn merit for following the dragon, but now his resentment towards the Imperial Clan was growing more profound.
âMaster, what should we do? Now that Third Master is dead, Madam Wang isnât helping to handle Third Masterâs affairs. Instead, sheâs being petty and focusing all her attention on Third Masterâs concubine. That concubine has been kept outside for so many yearsâcan she have a better life than Third Lady of the Qi Family? Besides, it was Madam Wang who couldnât bear children herself. Whatâs wrong if Third Master kept a concubine? Itâs just some silver, could it possibly compare to the familyâs main income?â
âShut up.â Minister Qi rebuked sharply, a look of displeasure flashing in his eyes. âStanding behind Madam Wang is the entire Jiangnan Academy. Now that something has happened to Third Master, shouldnât you go and win over Madam Wang instead of creating a rift over such a trivial matter?â
âMaster, you are scolding me for the sake of Madam Wang?â The Senior Lady widened her eyes, twisting the handkerchief, feeling aggrieved in her heart.
âLady, now that the Qi family has lost Third Master, it means the Qi family will lose a lot of taels of silver in the future. Do you still want to have conflicts with me over this?â Minister Qi didnât argue, instead he laid out the reality for her.
The Senior Lady of the Qi family indeed showed a slight change in expression, for she couldnât possibly ignore matters involving silver taels.
âBy the way, Master, Third Master was responsible for so many things. Now that heâs suddenly gone, wonât things fall into chaos?â
âAnd shouldnât we send someone to retrieve all those silver taels given out from in the palace?â
âI will handle these matters. For now, go to Madam Wang and tell her, with Third Master gone, we cannot be left without an heir. Since the child has already been born, have her adopt the child as her own. As for the childâs mother, send her away as far as possible.â
Upon hearing this, the Senior Ladyâs eyes glistened, and she asked, âMaster, what about the properties under Third Masterâs name? How should they be divided?â
Minister Qiâs deep eyes fixed on her.
