Chapter 1950: Chapter 1947: Visiting

Between the lines, it was revealed that one of his subordinates attended the banquet at the Marquis of Ande’s Mansion.

Everyone knew it was an excuse.

However, neither the Marquis of Ande nor the Crown Prince of Ande dared to stop Prince Rong, and could only watch helplessly as he entered the courtyard where the banquet was taking place.

Meanwhile, arrangements were made quickly to hide the person Prince Rong was looking for.

Because that official had drunk too much and was doing something unseemly; if Prince Rong caught him in the act, not to mention the official’s own fate, the other involved officials would also be in deep trouble.

King Qi, however, was different. Minister Qi had been cultivating these connections for many years.

He had people placed within the Six Ministries.

But Minister Qi never put these matters on display.

King Qi used the excuse of helping the Beirong Prince find someone at the residence.

The Marquis of Ande and the Crown Prince of Ande exchanged a glance, realizing that if they refused King Qi entry after letting Prince Rong in, it would be disadvantageous for them, so they promptly allowed King Qi in as well.

Moreover, if someone King Qi was searching for was indeed at their mansion and linked to the Beirong Prince’s subordinates, then if the Beirong Prince caused a fuss, neither the Marquis of Ande nor the Crown Prince of Ande could escape the connection, and it might reach Emperor Xuanming’s ears.

After sending the guests away with a smile, the Marquis of Ande’s face darkened, and he slapped the Crown Prince of Ande.

These banquets were organized by the Crown Prince of Ande.

In the past, there were no incidents, but somehow today, these two esteemed figures arrived.

The Crown Prince of Ande quickly stepped back, his eyes rimmed in black due to indulgence in beauty, and he appeared lethargic.

"Father, hitting me now would only reveal to the two Princes that there is a problem with the banquet," the Crown Prince of Ande said with a half-smile.

The Marquis of Ande’s eyes burned with anger: "You unfilial son, how dare you speak like that. Hurry and resolve this issue. If the two of them find evidence against us, do you think we can remain this idle?"

"Father, what’s there to fear? Don’t we still have the Deng Family?" The Crown Prince of Ande licked his lips, his blood-red tongue making his pale complexion even more ghastly.

His eyes flickered with a mad glint, looking at people as though a venomous snake had locked onto them.

"But don’t create trouble! I don’t want to waste such a good opportunity." The Marquis of Ande impatiently waved his hand, "Go and resolve it. I have matters to attend to in the courtyard."

The Marquis of Ande, with his large belly, hurriedly returned to the backyard.

The Crown Prince of Ande narrowed his eyes, gazing at the Marquis of Ande without much affection.

There was a cold indifference, looking nothing like father and son.

When the Crown Prince of Ande returned to the banquet, he saw that King Qi and Prince Rong were already seated, and some officials and profligate sons who hadn’t drunk much were uncharacteristically quiet, seated in their places without the earlier boisterousness.

The Crown Prince of Ande was not at all guilty, picking up his wine cup, he approached Prince Rong and King Qi.

"To the two Princes, I toast to honor their visit to the mansion, bringing glory to my humble abode. I drink first, and the Princes at their leisure."

The Crown Prince of Ande had a nominal position, with no real power and a low rank.

His attitude toward the two Princes seemed appropriate, but there was a hidden arrogance.

Prince Rong raised his cup, his expression indifferent, saying nothing as he took a sip of wine.

King Qi, on the other hand, was much more amiable: "You flatter me, Crown Prince. I have come today without causing you any trouble."

"How could it be trouble? It is my honor for Your Highnesses to come to my humble abode; I couldn’t be more thrilled."
