Chapter 361 prepared several boxes of things
Zhen Chenyao pulled his wife aside and said:
"There's no time to talk about that now. Do as I say and prepare the things. I'll give these things to the Seventh Prince and have him keep them for us."
"We don't know how the Emperor will judge this matter yet. Jin Yi and Jin Shu are so young; perhaps they can escape this calamity. In that case, our things will be of great use."
Upon hearing that her children were mentioned, Madam Zhen mustered her spirits and immediately ordered the servants in the courtyard to go to the storeroom to pack things up.
Zhen Chenyao didn't care about anything else and went straight to find the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince and his advisor Zhou were having a good time in the courtyard. The Emperor hadn't taken him on this trip, and the Seventh Prince had already learned that morning that Jia Hu had disappeared.
The two were marveling at Zhen Chenyao's abilities, as he had actually accomplished it. However, their joy was short-lived, as the Zhen residence was soon surrounded, leading them to believe that their scheme had been exposed.
But this has nothing to do with them. No matter what happens to Zhen Chenyao in the future, Jia Hu's death is something to celebrate. The two were celebrating in the courtyard when they saw Zhen Chenyao rushing over.
The Seventh Prince frowned and asked with an unfriendly expression:
Why did you come at this time?
It seems the guards at the gate are no longer needed; anyone can be allowed into his courtyard.
Zhou's advisor immediately dismissed the servants and ordered the guards to close the courtyard gate.
Now that the second master of the Zhen family has come, won't that implicate them?
Without thinking, Zhen Chenyao hurriedly said:
"I didn't do this, my elder brother did it. The siege of the Zhen residence this time was not caused by what I did, but by what my elder brother did. This has nothing to do with me."
But I probably can't protect it anymore. I've prepared several boxes of things, and I only beg the Seventh Prince to take care of them for me, and to look after my son and daughter in some way, out of consideration for our past relationship.
The Seventh Prince and Zhou, the advisor, were both a little confused. It turned out that it wasn't Zhen Chenyao who had been exposed, but rather what Zhen Chenhao had done.
The Zhen family is truly remarkable; neither of the two brothers is easy to deal with.
Seeing that the Seventh Prince did not agree, Zhen Chenyao gritted his teeth and said:
"Your Highness has the right to allocate the things I have prepared. I only ask that you leave enough for my children to live on."
There's no reason not to accept what's offered. Since Father Emperor was able to mobilize troops to surround the Zhen family, this matter must be quite significant.
Whether Zhen Chenyao's two children can escape or not is still uncertain; in the future, all of this will belong to him.
The Seventh Prince laughed:
"Since you've said so, I'll accept it. Now you need to hurry up and bring the things over, otherwise, once the others come in, I won't be able to hide them for you."
Zhen Chenyao finally breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully:
"Thank you, Your Highness. My wife is making preparations, and I am afraid I am going to die. I only beg Your Highness to take care of my children."
"Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry, so don't worry."
The Seventh Prince sighed.
Having received the Seventh Prince's approval, Zhen Chenyao did not linger.
"I'll send someone to deliver the items right away."
As soon as Zhen Chenyao left, Zhou's advisor advised:
"If the master accepts his things like this, it can be considered hoarding..."
Before Zhou could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Seventh Prince.
"What are you saying? What do you mean by 'hiding'? This is mine."
Zhen Chenyao ran back to his own courtyard, where Madam Zhen had already packed several boxes of things.
Zhen Chenyao immediately sent someone to deliver the items to the Seventh Prince. Receiving the Seventh Prince's confirmation, Zhen Chenyao felt somewhat relieved. He then pulled his two children aside, took out some silver notes, and told them to stuff them into their socks and undergarments.
