Chapter 3657 Winds Rise Again
ghtly, glancing at the tray hanging on the wooden post on the wall.“Steamed, please use a tray to hold it.” she reminded."Hmm!"Luo Fengtang was carrying a tray and walking in front.Let me know if you'..."Mother, let's talk tomorrow when I've sobered up. Right now, my head is pounding and I feel awful all over!" Wan Qingchun said with a drooping face.

Lady Zhuge glared fiercely at Zhuge Qing and said, “What are you thinking about What could possibly satisfy your old mother Isn't it just that you went to Duke Anle's mansion today, and your brother-in-law gave you two beautiful maidservants Now you're itching all over and can only think of fooling around with them”
His thoughts were exposed in a single word, and Zhuge Qing's face flushed red with embarrassment.
Lady Zhuge pulled up a stool and sat down, then pointed to the opposite stool: "Sit down!"
Zhu Geqing had no choice but to walk over with gritted teeth and sat down.
Lady Zhuge said, "Who are you putting on that face for You're grown up now! Can't you tell the difference between serious matters and frivolous ones"
You're still thinking about going to play with beautiful maids! If the family business fails, we'll have nothing and end up begging on the streets. What do you think you can use to play around with then
Hearing these words from Lady Zhuge, Zhuge Qing's intoxication vanished in an instant.
He immediately sat up straight, his eyes wide open: "Mother, what did you hear from my sister today Why are you saying such things Which bastard is trying to ruin our business Just tell me his name and I'll pay someone to kill him and his entire family!"
Madam Zhuge raised her hand and slapped Zhuge Qing right across the face.
The strength wasn't that great, after all, it was his own son. But there was still some pain.
“You idiot! Can you think when you speak” she asked angrily in a low voice.
"Whenever there's a disagreement, it turns into violence. If you have money, they'll target you because they can't afford to fight back."
“They might just be waiting for you to pay them to do those things like murder and arson, so they can have an excuse to get rid of you. You foolish thing!” The old woman was shaking with anger.
Zhuge Qing covered her face, with a wronged expression, sitting there too ashamed to make a sound.
Old Madam Zhuge took a sip of tea, calming her breath before continuing, “Your sister told me today that Consort Su in the East Palace, besides seeing Crown Prince once on the day she entered the palace and lifted her veil,”
For the past three days, I haven't had a chance to see His Royal Highness the Prince.
"The Su Concubine tried many ways to get closer to the Crown Prince, but he remained unmoved! It will be difficult to win his favor in such a short time."
>
"The Su concubine said that she couldn't figure out the prince's temperament. It seemed different from what was rumored outside, and also different from what the second prince's consort had revealed in private."
“Your sister told me to tell you, these days, our family has been targeted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Duke of Zhongyong's Mansion. We are in a precarious position, so you better keep a low profile.”
"Otherwise, if something happens, the prince's side... Consort Su can't speak up for now and won't be able to help you!"
Upon hearing the old woman's words, Zhuge Qing's face also changed, "How is this possible Su Consort is both the first beauty and the first talented woman in the capital."
“To be blunt, I used to run around the Anle Hou Mansion so often because I wanted to see her. She was too captivating for men.”
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
“The prince wouldn't even give her a chance to meet. Could it be that the crown princess and Lady Fang are better at vying for favor”
"That's not right, though. I know Consort Zhao Wanru, the Crown Princess. She has a melon-shaped face, and even if she gave it to me, I wouldn't want it."
As for Lady Fang, she's not well-known at all, Your Highness.
“On their wedding night, the Crown Prince stayed in his study all night. The next two nights, although he went to the Crown Princess's courtyard, there was no news of him needing water.” Old Madam Zhuge interrupted Zhuge Qing’s words.
Isn't offering water considered a basic marital courtesy
Zhu Geqing gasped, "How could the prince be like this Even if Zhao Wanru wasn't beautiful, in the dark, she was still capable!
"Be serious!" the old lady scolded Zhuge Qing again.
>
"The Crown Prince had always been a man who did not consort with women. Even now that he was married, he remained the same. If Consort Su does not receive the Emperor's favor for long, this would not be a good thing."
“So, Qing’er, you must listen to your mother and elder sister. Behave yourselves these days and don’t give anyone a handle on you!” she said.
>
Zhuge Qing said, "I have always been an honest man. I just do business like before, eat, drink, and have fun. There's nothing illegal about that!"
The old woman said: "These days, you should spend less time with those scoundrels of yours. I'm afraid they'll lead you astray!"
"When the dust settles and Consort Su gains favor with the prince, you can come out and play again!"
"Big sister, this Zhuge Qing is truly cunning. I estimate that he knows we're onto him. Since the incident with the account book last time, this kid has been more honest these past few days,"
Wan Qingchun came to visit Yang Ruqing and Luo Fengtang, and talked about this matter.
“He used to be a regular around town, but these days, he’s nowhere to be seen. He probably heard the rumors about us going after him and is scared to show his face, hiding at home like a turtle! Hahaha!”
As soon as Wan Qingchun thought about the fact that Wang couldn't go out for a stroll, he had to hide at home like a turtle, he felt happy.
Yang Ruqing curved her lips, nonchalantly using the lid of her tea bowl to brush away the foam on top.
“He thought that by not sticking his head out, nothing would happen” she laughed.
“Before, I was busy with other things. Now that I have some free time, I can't leave Beijing unless I get this settled.”
Wan Qingchun's eyes lit up, "Big sister, do you have a brilliant plan"
Yang Ruqing beckoned to him, and Wan Qichun quickly leaned in.
Yang Ruqing whispered a few words, then said, "Do you all understand"
Wan Qingchun nodded repeatedly, “Understand, understand, I understand it all. Big sister’s idea is good. It’s fun to play with him. Give it to me, I’ll arrange it right away!”
Yang Ruqing nodded.
The next day, rumors began circulating in the capital that a certain elder from the Black Lotus Sect had arrived and was hiding among the common people.

The elder's purpose of infiltrating the capital this time was to lurk in the city and assassinate the new emperor who would soon ascend the throne.
In the vast capital city, many Black Lotus Sect disciples disguised themselves as ordinary people, merchants, and even officials. They were all waiting for the right moment,
When the time comes, under the instigation of the elders, a large-scale riot will erupt.
At first, the rumors were just circulating on the streets and alleys. In just two days, they spread everywhere, alarming the court.
Luo Fengtang was urgently summoned to the palace to discuss this matter.
While on the other side, Zhuge Qing had been cooped up at home for several days, feeling like he was starting to mold all over.

His buddies kept sending him secret messages about how fun things were outside, and how new goods had arrived.
They tempted Zhuge Qing so much that he was restless at home every day.
It wasn't warm that night. It was very cold because it had snowed a lot.
>Fourth Uncle. You don't have to worry about it."Mrs. Sun nodded: "Alright, I'll make pig liver soup for your fourth uncle at noon. I was planning to make it tonight, but he probably doesn't have an ap...
