Chapter 216: Scheming, power and tricks

But the Eighth Prince said angrily with a three-point tone, "Why are Duke Qiao and Dean Zheng not yet! Could it be..."

The Eight Prince deliberately dragged his tone, but he didn't say the words behind him. His eyes were staring at the general manager who kept wiping sweat on his forehead with his cuffs...

When the general manager heard the word "May", his heart skipped a beat. His head was originally lowered and he looked at the Eighth Prince of Fucheng Palace carefully and cautiously. He had only one thought in his mind, "Does Fucheng Palace already know about the third lady's disappearance? It's over! It's over!"

Seeing that the general manager was so nervous that he seemed to have forgotten his breath, the eighth prince understood in his heart that the general manager's reaction had confirmed the third brother's question!

The eighth prince, who had already obtained the answer, continued quickly—

"Maybe Duke Qiao was temporarily stuck with something so he came too late!"

Upon hearing this, the general manager secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly echoed, "Yes! Yes! Yes! Please don't be surprised by the Eight Prince. The master will be here soon! You will be here soon!"

The Eighth Prince snorted lightly. He just started the topic temporarily and wanted to test his reaction. Now it seems that the reaction of the general manager further proves that something happened to the third lady in the Qiao Mansion!

At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the door. The manager's eyes lit up, and he felt a sense of ecstasy in his heart. He hurriedly said, "The master and the cousin are here!"

As soon as the voice fell, Duke Qiao and Zheng Xuan appeared in the living room. Zheng Xuan knelt down with his shirt. Duke Qiao bent down slightly, and the two said in unison, "Caomin (wei minister) bowed to the Eighth Prince!"

(Note: Duke Qiao was a three-generation veteran and had a special order from the emperor, so he didn't have to kneel down. However, because he had no official position, he could only call himself a "caomin"! Although Zheng Xuan was the crown prince's teacher at this time, he had to kneel down to the prince and the prince according to the etiquette. Because he was in charge of the official position, he called himself a "humble minister"!)

As if the Eight Prince didn't see the two people who gave the salute, he first brought the cup of the new teacup that the maid had just changed into, sniffed it gently, and then blew the surface, then took a careful sip and said, "Good tea!"

Duke Qiao and Zheng Xuan were still in a state of salute. The Eighth Prince did not speak, and neither of them spoke. They knew that the Eighth Prince was punishing them slightly!

But there is one thing they don’t know, and this is just one of the meanings of the Eight Prince!

The Eight Prince was born in the royal family, and playing with power is simply a show of his skills to him!

He is now playing psychological tactics, and what he wants is Duke Qiao and President Zheng who are uneasy and are in a mess!

But after seeing the Eighth Prince gently put down the teacup, he said, "Get up!"

Amid a sigh that seemed to be vague, Duke Qiao and Zheng Xuan stood up and sat on the red chair on the right side of the living room. Zheng Xuan gave his uncle Duke Qiao a look. Duke Qiao cleared his throat slightly, trying to keep calm, and said-

"Let the Eight Prince wait for a long time, and the people who are punished should die!"

The Eight Prince caught a glimpse of the eyes that were made between the two, pretending not to see them, and said coldly, "Well, Qiao Mansion and Fu Chenggong will be a family in a few days. How could I care about my own family!"

Duke Qiao, whose waist was originally straight, was slightly bowed because he breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, the Eighth Prince suddenly dragged his voice again, "But..."

Duke Qiao was shocked, and his waist was straightened up due to nervousness. A faint smile appeared on the Eighth Prince's lips. Although Duke Qiao tried his best to hide it, he still showed such a big flaw. He was now 100% sure that the woman the Ninth Brother brought back was the lady in Qiao's mansion!

When Zheng Xuan saw that his uncle was revealed so quickly, he sighed. The Eighth Prince was known as the "second and third prince" (the third prince Liu Shiying has the ability to control the world and is loyal to the world heritage, which means that the Eighth Prince is the future star second only to the third prince). In just a few words, his uncle, Duke Qiao, the elder of the three dynasties, could automatically reveal his skills. It was indeed amazing!

Since the Eighth Prince already knows the matter about his third cousin, it seems that his plan has changed!

Zheng Xuan pretended to cough, and once again gave Duke Qiao a calm eye and told him, "Don't worry, don't worry, just hand over the rest to my nephew!"

When Duke Qiao saw the Eighth Prince with a clear expression, he also knew that he was "exposing" and was a little helpless and a little bit self-blame. At this moment, he could only rely on Xuan'er's nephew!

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Xuan stood up and bowed, saying seriously, "I would like to ask the Eighth Prince to tell my third cousin whereabouts. The Qiao Mansion is very grateful!"

As soon as this said, it was like litting the "acupuncture" of everyone at the same time. The Eighth Prince, Duke Qiao, and the General Manager all stared at Zheng Xuan in amazement...

Duke Qiao did not expect that the secret they tried every possible way to keep was revealed by Xuan'er in such a straightforward words. Why did he do this? Is he using hundreds of people in the Qiao Mansion as a joke?! Duke Qiao murmured quietly, "Xuan'er, you..."

The Eighth Prince didn't expect that President Zheng would talk about this matter so directly. Don't he know that as soon as he said this, he admitted that the Qiao Mansion had lost the future princess of Fu Chenggong? Didn't he know that it was just because of his words that made the Qiao Mansion a dead house overnight?

For some reason, the Eighth Prince was a little admired Zheng Xuan at this moment. Although he was a scholar, he had such courage. It was really rare! The Eighth Prince laughed loudly, laughing so hard that Duke Qiao's back was numb, and the general's legs were trembling...

Zheng Xuan, who was still bowing, was unmoved at all, with a look of persistence and firmness on his face!

"Okay! OK!" The Eighth Prince smiled and clapped his hands and stood up, "Dean Zheng is indeed extremely courageous, and the Ninth Brother is indeed very jealous!"

"Uh?" Zheng Xuan didn't understand, Ninth Brother? Isn't that the little prince?" "I dare to ask the Eighth Prince, I don't understand..."

"Nothing! Nothing!" The Eighth Prince chuckled softly. He remembered that the Ninth Brother had said,

Zheng Xuan is a man with extensive knowledge and ambitions, but he is a little indecisive. If he can be tempered, he will become a great person in the future.

Now it seems that this is true!

The Eighth Prince waved his hand and said, "Duke Qiao, President Zheng, you two should walk with me!"

"Let's go?" Duke Qiao said in confusion, "Dare you ask the Eighth Prince, where are we going?"

The Eight Prince walked out with his hands on his back and said, "You will know when you go!"

Zheng Xuan thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up—

Could it be...

This must be the case!
