Acai's Sky

Chapter 394: Invite Your Master...

Prince Rui looked at the second son and his mind raced.

He turned to look at the butler with a sharp look in his eyes, "Go and call the prince!"

Then, he held the whip in his right hand and tapped the palm of his left hand rhythmically, but his eyes were always wandering on the second brother, as if he was examining something.

"I really can't believe that our Second Master is such a romantic! I haven't even enjoyed such treatment!"

Sima Nan was already sweating profusely from fear, but he still managed to answer, "Dad, I don't know what happened. As soon as that girl started acting like a spoiled brat, I lost all my composure!"

Prince Rui looked at him with disdain and said contemptuously, "If you don't have self-control, don't go out, or you'll be embarrassed! If you go out and still act like a rich old man, who else will I kill?"

After saying this, he turned his gaze to the guards again, frowned slightly, and turned to ask the butler, "Why do these guards look so unfamiliar?"

The butler glanced at the Second Young Master and replied cautiously, "Your Highness, these guards were brought back by the Second Young Master himself; they are not from our palace."

When Prince Rui heard this, he immediately understood and secretly admired that the little girl from the Liu family was indeed quite resourceful. She knew that if she wanted to restrain Sima Nan, she had to arrange her own people around him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel angry and raised his whip to whip Sima Nan several times.

The prince came hurriedly.

"Father, calm down!"

When Crown Prince Sima Yan saw his father raising the whip again, he hurriedly reached out to stop him.

He looked up at Prince Rui and said slowly, "Father, let's go to the General's Mansion and apologize first. As for the Liu family, we'll deal with them when we get back. If they dare to take advantage of the Prince's Mansion, we'll see if they have the nerve to do so."

After saying that, he glared fiercely at the second brother who was kneeling on the ground.

Prince Rui put away his whip and handed the account book to the prince. "You guys handle it. Anan has almost made me lose face."

The prince took the account book, flipped through a few pages, and sneered.

"There's no point in bringing these things back. It would be better to just ask the Liu family to compensate the General's Mansion with 200,000 taels of silver, and then this matter will be over!"

Then, he turned to look at his brother, "However, I have to send you to the camp outside the capital to hone your skills!"

Sima Nan suddenly raised his head and shouted in panic: "Brother, you can't trick me like this! The Jingjiao Camp is the territory of the Second Master of the General's Mansion..."

Prince Rui stood aside, his tall figure radiating a majestic aura. He looked down at Sima Nan with a cold and stern look in his eyes, and questioned in his tone:

"You know that's someone else's territory? Then why do you have the guts to look through someone else's carriage?"

When Sima Nan heard this, he felt annoyed and wanted to slap himself immediately.

He realized that he had made an extremely stupid mistake, and secretly cursed himself in his heart, thinking that he was about to cry because of his stupidity.

Sima Yan turned his head and looked at Prince Rui.

"Father, although the Second Brother's behavior this time was indeed inappropriate, we are all aware of his past behavior."

Prince Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

A thoughtful look appeared on his face.

The prince continued, "Thinking about it carefully, this woman from the Liu family is indeed a bit strange. We must keep a close eye on her and not let her go so easily. We absolutely cannot afford to suffer this loss!"

Prince Rui closed his eyes and waved his hand to signal the butler.

"Drag away all the guards that the second brother brought back and deal with them."

The butler responded respectfully and left with a group of guards.

King Rui opened his eyes again, his gaze as sharp as an eagle.

"The second brother said that the girl from the Liu family insisted on looking for a mahogany dressing box. She's getting mad, right?"

Sima Nan nodded desperately, his face full of anxiety and fear.

King Rui frowned and fell into deep thought.

"How can she be so sure that the dressing box is in that 'Strange Pavilion'?"

Prince Rui tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers.

She said thoughtfully, "It's said that the decoration of that store is very poor, and most people wouldn't even notice it. How did she, a lady from a secluded place, know all these details?"

He then added meaningfully, "The eldest daughter of the Li family took her daughter out shopping because she wanted to buy gifts for her female cousins ​​after returning home, but she accidentally stumbled upon the 'Strange Pavilion'."

Prince Sima Yan speculated and responded, "Perhaps the store did have that item, but when the Li family was clearing out their inventory, there were so many things in the store that they didn't notice it, right?"

However, Prince Rui shook his head, rejecting this assumption, and questioned, "But even the shopkeeper doesn't remember having such a dressing box. How could the Liu family's daughter know of its existence?"

At this moment, Sima Nan suddenly sneered and muttered disdainfully, "Could it be that someone else can possess a dead body and revive it? And even predict the future? This is sheer nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Rui and Crown Prince Sima Yan looked at each other, as if they saw the same doubts and curiosity in each other's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, King Rui decisively issued an order: "Ayan, go and invite your master, Taoist Jiugong, over. We need to ask him for advice."

Sima Yan bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes, father!"

Then he turned around and left, preparing to go and invite Taoist Jiugong in person.

……

Li Yifei carried Acai quickly to the carriage and gently placed her on it.

Li Yifei leaned over and looked at his aunt in the carriage.

"Aunt, let's go home now!"

Li Bijun smiled and nodded.

She picked up Ah Cai, nodded her little head gently, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"

"It was just a small matter, but it turned out to be such a big deal!"

A Cai shook her little head and said mischievously.

"I just wanted to see what was so special about that mahogany dressing box they were looking for. I'm just curious!"

Li Bijun smiled helplessly, then carefully combed Acai's hair.

"But this is also a good thing. After this incident, the Second Master of Prince Rui's family should be able to learn some lessons and will suffer less in the future!"

Ah Cai said with a smile, "The gifts I prepared for my cousins ​​are all individually wrapped and are right here!"

As she spoke, she pointed to the space under the carriage floor.

Li Bijun looked in the direction of her finger.

Uncover the wooden board.

Only then did I notice that in the space under the floor of the carriage, there were many beautifully packaged wooden boxes neatly arranged.

"When were these put in there? Oh, they're so beautifully wrapped!"

Ah Cai laughed triumphantly.

"Hey, isn't it a surprise?"

Li Bijun nodded her little head, "I was almost scared to death by you, I'm so surprised!!!"
