Chapter 1745: Chapter 1745 Apology
Hong Wu answered truthfully.
“Not many, the Chu King only brought two people today.” Hong Wu carefully observed the two people beside the Chu King, one of whom was the man who took Jiang Mang away last ti. Hong Wu had heard of his exceptional martial arts skills. The other man Hong Wu had not seen before, but judging by his appearance, he was likely not lacking in skills either. After all, that man was closely accompanied by the Chu King, and if his abilities were poor, the Chu King would not have allowed him to follow.
With only two people, it was indeed not many. It seed the Chu King was not planning any conspiracies today. Even if he was, Gu Ya had sent so many people to protect her outside the Gu Family’s courtyard. The Chu King only brought three people; with just the three of them, it would not be easy for them to take her away.
Su Yunjin confird that the Chu King did not bring many people and, feeling relieved, said to Hong Wu, “Brother Hong, go ahead and bring the Chu King to the main hall. I will et him there.” After so thought, Su Yunjin added, “By the way, go get Xue Chu. When I et the Chu King, you and Xue Chu should stay outside. If the Chu King makes any suspicious moves, you should protect imdiately.”
Hong Wu and Xue Chu both had the sa plan. The Chu King only brought two people, so they would stay close to the lady and guard her without leaving her side. They anticipated that the Chu King would not be able to stir up much trouble.
Su Yunjin went to the main hall and also asked Aunt Bao to prepare so tea and snacks. After all, the Chu King had saved her life, and it was only courteous to offer tea and snacks. So, Su Yunjin prepared them.
Besides the tea and snacks, Su Yunjin also took out a box of ointnt she had prepared during her recent idle periods. This ointnt was very effective in reducing swelling and stopping bleeding. The last ti the Chu King had saved her, he was injured and bled a lot. Su Yunjin did not like owing favors to others, so she intended to give this ointnt to the Chu King as repaynt for saving her.
Su Yunjin held the ointnt in her hand, intending to give it to the Chu King when he arrived. Su Yunjin sat there with the deanor of a host. Soon, the Chu King arrived with his two followers from outside. Xue Chu and Hong Wu, fearing the Chu King might do sothing unfavorable to Su Yunjin, also followed them inside.
However, once the Chu King entered the main hall, Xue Chu and Hong Wu were simultaneously blocked at the doorway by the Chu King’s followers. Xue Chu and Hong Wu wished to enter, but the followers would not yield, creating a tense standoff. The Chu King walked step by step into the hall, where Su Yunjin sat in the host’s position. Seeing him, Su Yunjin courteously and respectfully invited him to sit, but her tone carried an unmissable sense of detachnt and coldness.
“Your Highness, please sit!” Su Yunjin invited the Chu King to sit. From the mont he ca in, the Chu King’s gaze never left Su Yunjin’s face. The Chu King stared directly at Su Yunjin, and perhaps because his gaze was too intense, Su Yunjin felt a bit uneasy for a mont under his scrutiny.
Fortunately, the Chu King quickly withdrew his gaze and casually chose a seat as Su Yunjin suggested. According to Hong Wu, the Chu King ca this ti under the pretext of discussing the case. Just as Su Yunjin was about to speak, the Chu King looked at her and spoke first, “Miss Su, the incident with Jiang Mang that day was due to my failure in disciplining my subordinates. It won’t happen again.” The Chu King’s gaze, deep and profound, once again fell on Su Yunjin. Though this ti less direct than when he first entered, it still made Su Yunjin feel sowhat uneasy.
The incident with Jiang Mang was in the past, and Su Yunjin did not wish to pursue it further.
“Your Highness, didn’t you say you ca here concerning the case? What would you like to ask?” Su Yunjin intended to keep the conversation with the Chu King brief and resolve the matter swiftly.
