Chapter 1357: Are You Just Bored?
And at this moment, over where Chu Ping was.
He felt that Feng Fuce’s gaze was extremely cold, to the point that he was afraid and shrank his neck.
Like a quail ready to be beaten at any moment.
He trembled with fear.
Feng Fuce said coldly, "Repeat what you just said."
Chu Ping opened his mouth, wanting to speak, yet not daring to.
However, Xiao Mei had personally instructed him!
Moreover, for this matter, he almost couldn’t eat!
For the sake of his wife, he had to be brave for once, even if facing Marquis Wan!
So Chu Ping mustered up his courage.
"In my humble opinion, the Marquis should help the Princess!"
"Recently in the palace, because of the new female officer being particularly favored, everyone knows what’s going on."
"But Marquis, we cannot just stand by and watch another woman get close to the Emperor. If that female officer becomes the Princess’s stepmother, how heartbroken the Princess would be!"
"Therefore, Marquis, as the person who cares most about the Princess, should step in to prevent it..."
Feng Fuce pinched his brow, looking like he wanted to lash out, but held back.
Chu Ping quietly asked, "Marquis, did I say something wrong? Are you going to punish me?"
This familiar feeling of about to get beaten!
Feng Fuce lowered his arm and said coldly, "If it weren’t for the fact that you’re getting married in five days, I would indeed send you out with a bruised nose and a swollen face."
"But for now, I’ll spare you this once. If you have nothing to do and are full, go run a few laps and mind your own business."
With that, Feng Fuce flicked his sleeves and left.
Chu Ping chased a couple of steps: "Marquis! Please reconsider! This concerns the Princess’s feelings!"
Feng Fuce suddenly turned his head, looking at him coldly and with warning in his eyes.
Chu Ping chose to shut his mouth and silently waved goodbye.
Only then did Feng Fuce stride away.
Guoguo and Lei Hu widened their eyes in surprise.
Only Liu Jiru smiled like a spring breeze, having the demeanor of a strategist, as if everything was under control.
"I guess it’ll be up to Brother Hu and Brother Guo to treat me to a meal later."
Guoguo was extremely puzzled: "It shouldn’t be."
"Jiru, how did you guess that Brother Chu Ping wouldn’t be punished?"
Lei Hu was also surprised and puzzled: "Yeah, normally, out of ten things Chu Ping says, ten would anger the Marquis."
"How come this time, the look on his face suggested he said something rebellious, yet the Marquis was angry but didn’t take any action?"
"Usually, Chu Ping would have been sent off to run around the mountain or help clean the stalls by now."
Liu Jiru chuckled: "This is easy to figure out. Do you know who the Marquis cares about the most?"
"The Princess," Lei Hu and Guoguo said in unison.
Liu Jiru nodded: "Exactly. Now, Brother Chu Ping is about to marry Sister Qingmei. If Brother Chu Ping were injured, Sister Qingmei would be worried."
"If Sister Qingmei is concerned, naturally the Princess would inquire. How could the Marquis let the Princess worry?"
"Therefore, naturally Brother Chu Ping would not only not be punished, but the Marquis would also spare him a few insults considering he’s about to get married."
Lei Hu suddenly realized: "In the end, it’s all for the Princess."
Liu Jiru smiled and nodded.
Guoguo and Lei Hu conceded gracefully.
Since Liu Jiru joined the Xiuluo Guard, Feng Fuce had created many opportunities for him to study military strategies.
Over the years, his results had been significant.
Even such a small matter, he could analyze thoroughly.
As for this meal, it was up to Lei Hu and Guoguo to treat.
