Chapter 1828: Chapter 426: Shocking Upheaval and the Arrival of the Commandery Princess (Part 4)

"Master, it’s me, Chen Chun."

Chen Jie was taken aback and said, "Hmm, Chen Chun, what is it?"

Chen Chun immediately said, "Master, the Commandery Princess has arrived."

"What!"

Hearing this, both Chen Jie and Su Yunjin were stunned, then their faces filled with shock. What was going on? Why would the Commandery Princess show up in the middle of the night? Could she be eloping?

No, that didn’t make sense. Even for an elopement, this timing was strange, and besides, Chen Jie was just about to go pick her up. Why would she risk coming now?

If the Ruyang King found out about this, who knew what kind of trouble it would stir up. freewebnoveℓ.com

Thinking of this, Chen Jie was puzzled as well. The Commandery Princess was not someone who didn’t know the stakes; how could she take such a risk to come here? There had to be something wrong.

At this moment, Su Yunjin came over to Chen Jie and said, "Husband, since the Commandery Princess is already here, no matter what, you cannot refuse to see her."

"And it just so happens that you were about to go pick her up. Meeting now is perfect timing."

Chen Jie hesitated for a moment and looked at Su Yunjin.

Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie and said, "Go."

Chen Jie said, "Come with me and take a look."

Su Yunjin said, "Since the Commandery Princess is here, I won’t go along. In any case, we must first receive her properly. It’s so late, she must not have eaten after rushing here through wind and dust. I’ll go arrange some food."

Chen Jie looked at his considerate wife and said, "Wife, you’ve worked hard."

Su Yunjin smiled and said, "What hard work? I can’t help my husband with much, so I can only do these things. It’s what I should do. Husband, go quickly, don’t keep the Commandery Princess waiting."

Chen Jie nodded, then pushed open the door.

Outside, Chen Chun was already waiting, and the commotion had also awakened Yin Hongmei and Cuiju in the adjacent room; the two maids came into Chen Jie’s room.

Chen Jie, already dressed, said to Chen Chun, "Where is she?"

Chen Chun said, "She’s waiting in the White Tiger Hall."

Chen Jie said, "Mm, lead the way."

With that, Chen Chun lifted the lantern and led a group of servants toward the White Tiger Hall.

At this time, Su Yunjin said to Yin Hongmei and Cuiju, "Hong Mei, go to the kitchen and have them prepare some food. Be quick; it doesn’t need to be too elaborate."

"Cuiju, go brew tea, and prepare some seasonal fruits as well. Do not slight our guest."

"Yes."

Yin Hongmei immediately went to the kitchen. The kitchen of the Chen Residence never let the fires go out; the stoves were always hot, and the head chef was always on standby. Very soon, dishes were being prepared.

By this time, Chen Jie had already arrived at the White Tiger Hall.

As soon as he entered the White Tiger Hall, Chen Jie froze, because the one who had come was not only the Commandery Princess; Wang Baobao was there as well.

One had to know that Chen Jie and Wang Baobao did not get along at all.

But now, seeing them covered in dust and looking rather bedraggled, it was obvious they had been through something.

Chen Jie then looked toward the Commandery Princess.

The Commandery Princess looked much thinner than before. Sitting there, she had originally been full of restless anxiety, but the moment she saw Chen Jie arrive, she calmed down.

Wang Baobao, too, was in a completely flustered state. Seeing Chen Jie now, the eyes that were once full of arrogance had dimmed considerably.

In the past, Wang Baobao had always looked at Chen Jie with arrogant, condescending eyes, but now it was clearly different.

Looking at the two of them like this, Chen Jie clearly felt that something had gone wrong. But in such a grand Ruyang Royal Mansion, what could possibly have happened?

For the moment, Chen Jie could not imagine anything that could threaten the existence of the Ruyang Royal Mansion.

Thinking this, Chen Jie walked up to the Commandery Princess and said, "Yaya, why have you come?"

Chen Jie chose to directly ignore Wang Baobao. Wang Baobao’s face darkened several shades, but he still forced a smile.

At this moment, Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie, a trace of desolation and weariness on her face, and said, "Jiu Si, something may have happened to my father!"

"What, something happened to the Ruyang King?"

Chen Jie was shocked by this, then immediately frowned and said, "What exactly happened, Yaya? Tell me slowly!"
