Chapter 478 Doubts
Moreover, it's quite obvious that this whole affair is essentially leading Wei Zhongxian by the nose, something the emperor wouldn't have dared to imagine in the past.
This time, the Emperor and Chen Er joined forces and won a brilliant victory. Xiao Ma suddenly thought of Qin Zhongting and looked at Chen Er with renewed doubt.
"You said that Sun Yunhe followed us to lure him to the Jiangnan area and keep him there. So, do you think the same thing about Qin Zhongting?"
As soon as Xiao Ma finished speaking, he regretted it a little, after all, Qin Zhongting was Chen Er's nominal father-in-law.
Even if Chen Er were ruthless and heartless, he would never lay a hand on his father-in-law. Chen Er gave a helpless bitter smile.
"Qin Zhongting has been having a mental breakdown lately. Ever since Zhao Beixing was brought down, Qin Zhongting has been getting closer and closer to Wei Zhongxian. Of course, we know that Qin Zhongting is doing this to protect himself."
"Because Qin Zhongting has already sensed the danger, the Emperor and I have thought it over and decided to take Qin Zhongting away from the court for a while."
"If Qin Zhongting is very cooperative with us in the Jiangnan area, then perhaps I will consider whether to spare this middle-aged man for Qin Luoshen's sake. But then again..."
"If Qin Zhongting remains obstinate and unwilling to cooperate with our work, I will have no choice but to make a swift and decisive decision, even if it's just to do something beneficial for the people of the Ming Dynasty."
When Xiao Ma heard Chen Er's words, he simply couldn't believe his ears.
He thought he was hallucinating: "Chen Er, have you made up your mind? That's your future father-in-law. Aren't you afraid that Qin Luoshen will turn against you?"
Xiao Ma asked again out of curiosity, just as Chen Er was about to answer. Suddenly, a girl's voice came from outside.
"Yes, Chen Er, what you've done is a bit too much. After all, you and Qin Luoshen are living together, and marriage is just a matter of time. How can you be so ruthless towards your father-in-law?"
The girl's voice surprised Chen Er, who looked over in confusion.
Chen Er then realized that it was none other than Situ Minyue, whom he hadn't seen for several days.
Sitting inside a carriage, the little horse excitedly made a cute face at Chen Er, who looked at it helplessly.
"Young Master Ma, why did you bring your daughter along? Do you perhaps want her to go to the Jiangnan region as well?"
Chen Er asked in surprise, and Xiao Ma was a little embarrassed. After all, he hadn't even brought Qin Luoshen with him when they went to the Jiangnan area, but Xiao Ma had brought Situ Minyue with him.
If Qin Luoshen knew about this, it would be strange if she wasn't jealous. Xiao Ma shook his head helplessly.
"Chen Er, I had no choice. My daughter has never had a mother's love since she was little. I raised her all by myself. Originally, I wanted Situ Minyue to stay at home."
“But Situ Minyue has never been to the Jiangnan area in her entire life, so she wants to go out and broaden her horizons.”
After Xiao Ma finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, pondered for a moment, and then spoke again helplessly.
"Chen Er, if you feel it's inappropriate for me to be carrying a family like this, then I'll have someone send Situ Minyue back right now!"
Besides, we're not going to the Jiangnan area for tourism; we're going there on business. We'll encounter many dangers on this trip.
Xiao Ma could also tell that Chen Er seemed a little uneasy.
After all, if a girl were to go, she wouldn't help Chen Er and would only implicate him. So Xiao Ma was being a little too sensitive, but Chen Er smiled.
However, it wasn't appropriate to say too much, since she was a girl, and if Chen Er said anything too harsh...
"Then it will be a little awkward to run into each other all the time," Situ Minyue said, covering her mouth and laughing. She looked at Chen Er again and said.
"I just want to ask Lord Chen Er if you don't welcome me to go to Jiangnan with you. Besides, I don't have any friends at home, and now my father is going to Jiangnan."
"How am I supposed to live alone at home?"
Situ Minyue said very seriously.
Chen Er felt that Situ Minyue was right. It was really worrying to leave a girl at home alone, especially since Situ Minyue was so beautiful. Helpless, Chen Er had no choice but to persuade Xiao Ma.
"I say, Master Ma, why don't we let Situ Minyue come with us? Besides, if a bunch of men can't protect a young girl, then we should just give up on our profession."
Chen Er spoke the truth, and so Situ Minyue followed Chen Er and Xiao Ma to Jiangnan.
At this moment, Qin Zhongting and Sun Yunhe are the ones who are in a bad mood. It would be understandable if these two were asked to protect Xiao Ma.
But asking them to protect Chen Er's safety made Sun Yunhe very uncomfortable, not to mention anything else.
Let's first talk about Chen Er's martial arts skills. Even at his peak, Sun Yunhe might not have been able to beat Chen Er.
Moreover, Chen Er's official rank was only that of a Grand Master of Jade, so why should Sun Yunhe be allowed to protect Chen Er? Therefore, Sun Yunhe was extremely unhappy.
Wei Zhongxian had already made arrangements to kill Chen Er while he was in Jiangnan.
Because every extra day Chen Er lived was a nightmare for Wei Zhongxian, Qin Zhongting's facial muscles were twitching incessantly, and he sighed.
"It's a vicious cycle of revenge. Don't worry, I've long hated Chen Er. Everything is because of Chen Er's appearance."
"They've completely messed up the order, so I dream of killing Chen Er." These were Qin Zhongting's true feelings.
This time, after Chen Er appeared, he not only abducted his own daughter, but also killed Zhao Tianming in a short period of time.
Zhao Beixing's fate is still unknown, so Qin Zhongting is now determined to kill Chen Er. Sun Yunhe laughed when he heard Qin Zhongting's words.
"Then let's work together and make sure this is done perfectly. Once Lord Wei Zhongxian is happy, we can have anything we want!"
And so, each of them, with their own thoughts, went to the Jiangnan region.
A day later, Chen Er finally arrived at his destination. At that moment, Chen Er looked at the collapsed houses and the displaced people.
