Chapter 406: He hates me! He wishes I were dead!

He hates me! He wishes I were dead!

He always knew that before, he was willing to follow Ning Eldest Brother because he was really close to death, and it was Ning Eldest Brother's carriage passing by that saved him.

He didn't know before, but later, after slowly investigating, he found a unique mark in his father's study...

The person who had always wanted his life turned out to be his father, his biological father!

Just because he blocked the Second Brother's path, just because he made his beloved concubine feel wronged, he then ordered his own son's death.

He has known this since last year; the word 'father' now holds no feeling for him, and this time he returns just to have closure.

And he still can't let go of his mother.

My mother still has a brother; my older brother is truly excellent and always works hard, he is enough to support the marquis manor.

Dean, that place doesn't need me.

The child's desolate voice makes people unable to help feeling heartache.

It's fine, we need you. Jiang Yun Chu smiled lightly, her smile carrying pity and gentleness.

Regarding the Yong Bo Marquis Manor, she roughly knows their attitude, and even for Zhang Cunwen, she has never investigated.

Moreover, she has already discussed with Mr. Qing Feng that if the Yong Bo Marquis Manor side does not agree to let Zhang Cunwen go to the battlefield, she will send Zhang Cunwen to study there; even if she doesn't follow them, his future remains bright.

"Zhang San, we need you." At that moment, a group of boys and girls walked out from outside the gate; all of their gazes were on Zhang Cunwen, their eyes filled with worry and helplessness.

"No one needs you, but you have us." Kang Wu usually speaks little, but this time he walked up to Zhang Cunwen's side and patted his shoulder.

They cannot imagine having such parents; the children of the Kang Clan all live in a loving family, growing up in a warm home since childhood, so they never thought of these things.

As for the Han Clan, needless to say, everyone revolves around Han Wen Jun.

Ning Hanmo had no parents from childhood; only after Jiang Yun Chu came did he feel maternal love.

Only Ning Qiancheng can most empathize, though it's not exactly the same.

"Yeah, what are you crying for? We're here!" Kang Zhiqiu said helplessly upon seeing his state.

Zhang Cunwen hehe laughed; his cold heart seemed to be warmed bit by bit by his companions. The marquis manor is his pain in heart, but these people beside him are his warmth, his medicine.

"Have you decided?" Jiang Yun Chu asked, sighing.

Zhang Cunwen nodded, "Decided, Dean, from now on I am only a person of Chun Hua Xue Yuan."

He left the Yong Bo Marquis Manor; thereafter he was no longer a son of the manor. The old man thought he was just speaking in anger, believing he couldn't survive after leaving the manor.

Actually, he had long been able to earn silver on his own, had long had the ability to survive; his attachment to feelings made him repeatedly test.

Five hundred taels…… opening a shop is his bottom line.

"Good, welcome." Jiang Yun Chu smiled and looked at this child.

Yong Bo Marquis Manor, will regret.

Scholars, farmers, artisans, merchants—merchants are the lowest, yet among the four great clans of Jiangnan, who dares to look down on them?

Three hundred sixty trades, each trade produces a top scholar; any choice, if pursued to the extreme, is success.

"The bet, I lost."

"Jiang Yun Chu, you must come back alive." Ning Huang looked at the person before him, his eyes carrying an irremovable worry.

Jiang Yun Chu smiled lightly, "If we come back alive, what do you think of me requesting an imperial edict?"

She spoke softly; Zhang Cunwen's matter greatly affected her. Having lived two lives, she never got along with parents, and she never imagined that in this world there could be parents who, though their own child, would personally harm their own flesh and blood for another child.

The Yong Bo Marquis's methods are not clever; letting the shadow investigate yielded a result.

"Imperial edict? What are you seeking? Now speak, I will consider." mainly because this girl is too dishonest, fearing she would again risk herself, that's why I left words.

Jiang Yun Chu thought, "If this time I and Ning Qiancheng both come back alive, I want to request a secret edict, a secret edict to establish the heir."

The imperial study was silent; now Xiao Xi Zi has become smart—whenever the Regent's Consort and His Majesty speak, he goes to stand at the gate, knowing too much, he will die quickly.

His head on the chopping block sways, utterly unstable.

"Xiao Ba......"

Before Ning Huang finished speaking, Jiang Yun Chu shook her head and interrupted, "Your own child, you don't even understand him?"

"Even if he would strive, it wouldn't involve me."

She smiled lightly; she still had this confidence, she knew her own child's temperament.

However, these days' changes, plus Ning Qiancheng's awkward position in the palace, she knows this child has figured something out; this is also the helplessness of being born in the imperial palace—not wanting to contend, but having to contend, for not contending means death.

He has no other choice; those people won't let him choose.

"How could you propose that?" If anyone else said it, Ning Huang would have to think more, but the one who proposed it is Jiang Yun Chu.

He has watched the child grow since childhood, knowing she has lived two lives, knowing her past, also knowing she has no intention for the imperial palace.

"Because you have many children, but I only care about Ning Qiancheng."

"What's the life or death of others to me?"

Jiang Yun Chu lifted her head, the slightly raised corners of her lips, the sharpness in her eyes, utterly unhidden.

Moreover, another reason: Ning Qiancheng's disposition and his broad perspective suit an emperor; with Da Ning under his leadership and others assisting, the future is full of expectation.

If Ning Qiancheng were not material for being an emperor, she would not stand here today proposing this; she would think of another way to place him, letting him live without worry.

"You're being frank!" Ning Huang gave her an annoyed look.

Jiang Yun Chu raised her eyebrows, "Speaking with the Emperor's uncle, I never thought of hiding anything; you're so smart, if I hid something you'd hear it anyway."

"You've said all the nice and nasty words."

Ning Huang nodded, then pondered a moment before replying, "I will carefully consider what you said, but……"

"Wait until you come back, let me see Xiao Ba, then decide."

No one has seen him, never compared his learning and methods; Da Ning is a country concerning many commoners, not an object—even if he believes Yun Chu, he cannot just hand over Da Ning to Xiao Ba because of her one sentence.

Although he had long prepared, the dark guards constantly sent Xiao Ba's information daily to the palace, yet he had never seen him, never kept him nearby to raise, ultimately he was uneasy.
