Chapter 229: Is it Fun?
Prince Donghai came to the Weary Marquis’s mansion for his regular visit, and the doormen and servants were already accustomed to it, neither blocking nor announcing him, letting him come and go freely. Behind his back, they all said he had been “well-disciplined” during this period.
Indeed, under Lady Tan’s urging, Prince Donghai was extremely dedicated to helping Han Ruzi compete for the throne, tirelessly offering strategies and dedicating all his resources, showing even more enthusiasm than if he were competing for himself.
Han Ruzi had no intention of wasting this hard-earned enthusiasm.
“Do you still have many connections with the Cui family?” Han Ruzi asked.
Prince Donghai removed his mud-stained boots and ordered his attendant to clean them. He sat cross-legged on Han Ruzi’s sleeping couch and said, “It’s alright, I’m too busy to deal with them, but my wife visits them often.” He sneered, “The Cui family is quite pleased now. You and the Champion Marquis are both their sons-in-law. They’ll have an empress regardless of who becomes emperor. Hasn’t anyone from the Cui family come to flatter you?”
“No,” Han Ruzi also found it strange. Almost all noble families in the Capital tried various ways to establish connections with the Weary Marquis, but only the Cui family remained silent. Even Second Young Master Cui Teng no longer showed his face – either he had changed his mind or wasbeing closely watched by their father.
“Don’t worry, just be prepared. When the Cui family does come, don’t stand on ceremony. Ask for whatever you want, be as greedy as you like. Don’t worry, you won’t be able to swallow up the Cui family.”
Han Ruzi smiled.
“Why are you asking about the Cui family?” Prince Donghai asked.
