After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 359: Questioning



Chapter 359: Questioning

Prime Minister Xu returned to his residence, where he saw Xu Jinxin acting suspiciously. At this moment, Prime Minister Xu was puzzled and had no idea why Xu Jinxin was acting so suspiciously. He walked up to Xu Jinxin and patted her on the shoulder.

"What are you doing? What are you holding in your arms?"

Xu Jinxin suddenly heard Prime Minister Xu's voice. She must have been startled at that moment.

Xu Jinxin never expected that Prime Minister Xu would return at this time. At this moment, Xu Jinxin didn't know what to say, so she could only take out the painting in her hand.

"Why did you take my painting? Are you planning to give it away? Have you found a man you like? If it's Zhao Wuji, I only want to advise you with one thing: give up on that idea. I will never agree to this."

"Actually, there's something I've never understood: why Father doesn't approve of my relationship with Zhao Wuji. I don't think Zhao Wuji is as bad as you think. He has his own ambitions."

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Xu remained cold and did not listen to what Xu Jinxin had to say. Instead, he ordered the maids around him to take Xu Jinxin back. At this moment, Prime Minister Xu took the painting from Xu Jinxin's hand.

Xu Jinxin must have been feeling quite distressed. She couldn't understand why Prime Minister Xu could accept it, while other men couldn't...

Afterwards, Prime Minister Xu left the Prime Minister's residence and went directly to the Grand Tutor's residence, where the Grand Tutor was playing chess with someone in the courtyard.

I never expected to see Prime Minister Xu here today. I was a little confused for a moment. He wouldn't come to the Three Treasures Hall without a reason.

What was the purpose of Prime Minister Xu's visit? The Grand Tutor had no choice but to let the man leave first, as Prime Minister Xu's expression did not look quite right, and he did not want any argument to break out later.

"What brings Prime Minister Xu here? It's rather surprising that you've come all this way. Is there something you wish to say, Prime Minister Xu? If so, why don't you just say it?"

"I've come here to tell you something, and that is, I hope you can keep your son in check and make sure he doesn't provoke my daughter again and again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless towards your son."

Unexpectedly, it was because of his son again. At this moment, the Grand Tutor looked at Prime Minister Xu and gave him a warning. "If that's the case, then I hope Prime Minister Xu can control his daughter. I hope your daughter will not associate with my son from now on. After all, my son is such an outstanding person that your daughter is not worthy of him."

Just as the two were arguing, Zhao Wuji returned. However, he did not appear before them. Instead, he remained hidden in the shadows, listening to their conversation. Zhao Wuji was filled with mixed emotions.

Zhao Wuji then made up his mind to make a name for himself and make Xu Chengxiang look at him with new eyes.

Prime Minister Xu left immediately.

The Grand Tutor made a decision: to find a suitable woman for his son.

They plan to get their son married as soon as possible so that this whole mess won't happen.

The argument between the two of them naturally came to the attention of the other officials in the court, who then proceeded to discuss it animatedly.

"Actually, I think that even if their two families were to form a marriage alliance, it would be quite a good thing. This would solidify their own position, after all, the Grand Tutor's status is there, and so is Prime Minister Xu's. Although the Grand Tutor's son is indeed a bit of a loser, after all, he was the Princess's lover before, but later he offended the Princess..."

It seems that the princess at the bedside was quite fond of Zhao Wuji, but unfortunately, Zhao Wuji didn't know what was good for him and could only blame himself for his own misdeeds. Who else could he blame?

"I never expected that Zhao Wuji would look down on Her Highness the Princess. No matter how many evil deeds Her Highness has committed, she is still the eldest princess, and that status is undeniable. Yet this guy doesn't even take her seriously."

At this time, they all wanted to place some handsome men around Gan Luo.

However, there has never been such an opportunity. After all, if we were to be placed by Gan Luo's side, we could monitor Gan Luo's actions anytime and anywhere.

"Alright, alright. If you want to arrange handsome men around Gan Luo, you'll probably have to take it slow. After all, Her Highness is too vigilant. You and I can't erase that vigilance. More importantly, have you forgotten what happened before?"

They all surely remember that before this, there was a handsome man who tried to seduce the princess, but unexpectedly, the princess dealt with him directly in the end.

When they saw them, everyone was startled. They had expected Gan Luo to be afraid or something, but they couldn't see any fear in his eyes.

At this moment, they were truly frightened by Gan Luo's actions and recalled what Gan Luo had done over the years. They felt that Gan Luo was different from other women, and that if Gan Luo were a man, he would definitely become a king.

"If Your Highness were truly a man, I would find it feasible for you to become the so-called monarch, given your abilities. But alas, Your Highness is a woman."

What they all wanted from the beginning was a diligent and honest ruler, but they couldn't see those qualities in Gan Yanling. He was easily influenced by things.

He was not a qualified ruler.

Although they had many complaints, they ultimately couldn't voice them.
