Mingshu was completely unaware that Si Chu had made a trip halfway through and had heard the fabricated story she had made up to convince Ah Qi without missing a single word.
She had just breathed a sigh of relief and began to worry about the next round of acting.
Meanwhile, Ah Qi reported the situation here truthfully to the Young Master Crown Prince, including the part where Si Chu had come to Jingren Palace and overheard Mingshu cursing him.
The reply from Ji Jing came swiftly and was rather thought-provoking.
He ordered Ah Qi not to take action for the time being, to leave Mingshu alone, and to wait and see how Si Chu would handle things.
Ah Qi felt that the Young Master Crown Prince was simply indulging in a perverse desire to watch the drama unfold, and he was even willing to ignore the life and death of his own sister for it!
