Chapter 2628: Chapter 2628: Why Did He Come Back?
A large shipment of grain will arrive soon. Given the drought, she could make quite a profit, at least several times over.
Moreover, good things come in pairs. A few days ago, she had her eye on a man in the city, with rosy lips and white teeth, and features as if painted. After seizing him yesterday, she went to take a look, and he was indeed quite handsome.
Unfortunately, having just been seized, he had not yet been trained, and his temper was horrible.
However, she believed that after a few days of training by her hands, he would become obedient like the others, at least outwardly, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he would have to bow down to her.
"Not good, not good, Imperial Noble Consort, Imperial Noble Consort, outside...outside is surrounded." The voice of the Chief Steward came from outside, causing the child in Dowager Consort Yu’s arms to cry out loudly in fright.
"Wah, wah wah."
"Oh, my dear treasure, don’t cry, don’t cry, mother is here to comfort you, we won’t be afraid." Dowager Consort Yu hurriedly soothed the child in her arms, then looked up towards the outside.
"Imperial Noble Consort, not good...uh!"
The Chief Steward rushed in, only to be startled by Dowager Consort Yu’s chilling gaze just after entering the door.
"Imperial Noble Consort..."
"What has you in such a panic, screaming like a ghost?"
Dowager Consort Yu glanced coldly at her son in her arms, then continued to look at the Chief Steward. This was Ying City after all, her domain; who would dare to act recklessly here?
"What happened? Is there a problem with the grain?"
She thought there shouldn’t be any major issue with the grain. If they truly swallowed her money without delivering the grain, she wasn’t that easy to bully.
If they don’t want to live anymore, they can try swallowing her money!
"No, not the grain, it’s...our mansion has been surrounded by people." The Chief Steward’s eyes were full of panic as he trembled and spoke.
"Who dares to be so bold?"
Dowager Consort Yu frowned deeply, who could be so bold as to surround her mansion in Ying City, was it courting death?
"It’s the City Defense Force, they said they are acting on Prince Zhan’s orders." The Chief Steward said.
"The City Defense Force dares to lay hands on this Imperial Concubine? Are they rebelling, this Imperial Concubine... What did you just say, on whose orders?" Dowager Consort Yu’s arrogant words paused as she looked in slight confusion at the Chief Steward.
Did she just mishear? How did she hear the words Prince Zhan?
"It’s Prince Zhan, they are acting on Prince Zhan’s orders." The Chief Steward thought Dowager Consort Yu really hadn’t heard clearly, so he repeated.
"Prince... Prince Zhan? Qian Jiyun?"
Dowager Consort Yu’s hands holding the child started trembling, her eyes were filled with fear.
Seeing that she was about to drop the child, a pair of hands quietly reached over and took the child into his arms, this man being the father of Dowager Consort Yu’s youngest son.
Although he despised Dowager Consort Yu, the child was his, and he couldn’t let anything happen to the child.
"Why has he come back, wasn’t he at Wulong Mountain? Why did he return?" Dowager Consort Yu was nearly losing her mind, the Retired Emperor had clearly said that Qian Jiyun went to Wulong Mountain and would not return soon.
"Get out, all of you, get out of here for this Imperial Concubine!"
Her piercing eyes swept over the others in the room, driving them all out.
The man held his child tightly and quickly left as well. He had heard of Prince Zhan, who was the most powerful presence in the Daqing Kingdom, and it was precisely because of his existence that other nations dared not invade.
