Chapter 2707: Chapter 2707: They’re Going to Declare War on Daqing

Hearing this, the Family Heads wanted desperately to shake their heads, but they didn’t dare, so they only continually nodded in agreement.

Go and pack it up to take home? Did their families look like they were struggling to make ends meet? These wild vegetables, they were like tree roots that even pigs wouldn’t eat!

There was so much they wanted to say, but they dared not utter a single word, not even daring to show a hint of dissatisfaction.

They watched as An Jiuyue waved towards the workers in the inn, who understood and began packing the wild vegetables for the Family Heads.

"The meal is done, and the lotus flowers are in full bloom today. I have rented a lotus boat and wish to take a boat ride on the Moonlight Lotus embankment. Would the Family Heads like to join me?"

Qian Jiyun stood up, his voice ice-cold as he addressed the Family Heads present.

Seeing Prince Zhan stand up, the Family Heads fearfully stood as well, despite feeling bitter inside, they still responded affirmatively.

How could they dare not respond? Knowing well that today Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang came with ill intentions, they wouldn’t dare utter a single ’no’.

Even if they knew early on that these two came with hostility, they still dared not refuse to come!

Not long after, the group moved onto the lotus boat, arriving at the Moonlight Lotus embankment, looking at the lake filled with lotus flowers and the small boat drifting among them.

"Serve tea to the Family Heads."

An Jiuyue instructed the steward beside her.

"Yes, Master."

The steward responded, beckoning to the side, and maids carrying trays approached to serve tea to the Family Heads.

The Family Heads: "..."

So the tea had been prepared long ago, but they couldn’t serve it until the two princes spoke up, is that it?

They felt bitter inside, but dared not say anything, only silently watching as the maids placed the teacups before them, presenting a polite smile, and even had to thank the lowly maids.

"You all must know, Prince Zhan and I just returned from the Northern Lands. This, I imagine, you major clans received word before I even reached the capital, didn’t you?"

An Jiuyue cut to the chase without wasting any more words with them.

Upon hearing her words, the faces of the Family Heads turned unsightly, two of them almost dropped their teacups.

For a major clan to establish itself in the capital, don’t they all have some tricks up their sleeves?

The events in the Northern Lands weren’t a secret, receiving early news was the norm.

But this norm could not be openly stated in front of the two princes, everyone knew that although these major clans sounded intimidating, to the royal family, they were just commoners.

Commoners investigating royal affairs was a capital offense!

"It’s hard on the Family Heads, managing to keep your unruly juniors in such good order. I’ve heard that the streets of the capital have been quite peaceful lately, with the public speculating whether another country might be declaring war on our Daqing, ha."

An Jiuyue continued, even chuckling softly twice towards the end.

What seemed amusing to her wasn’t at all funny to these Noble Clan Patriarchs, this was clearly a veiled threat accusing them of daring to gather intelligence up to their level, a courting of death!

The Family Heads dared not respond, it was obvious that whoever replied would be courting death.
