Chapter 673: Chapter 255: The Madam’s "Gift"! Meeting the Witch Sect Saintess Again!_2

Chen Mo did not rush to answer. He slowly skimmed the foam with the lid’s edge, took a careful sip, and nodded: "Hmm, good tea, Mrs. Yan’s craftsmanship is indeed impressive."

Yan Peizhi said flatteringly: "My wife indeed has mastered the tea art. If Mr. Chen likes, you can come often to taste tea and discuss the way."

"We’ll talk about that in the future."

Chen Mo glanced at him with a peculiar expression, set down the teacup, and said: "Now that the situation has reached this point, you two should understand the fundamental reason."

Feng Jinyu and Yan Peizhi exchanged a glance.

They were certainly clear; everything stemmed from the Princely Heir.

Originally, this was a conflict between Chen Mo and the Prince Yu Mansion. They wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the Chen Family. Instead, it backfired...

Feng Jinyu, in particular, was filled with hatred and regret.

If not for being instructed by Prince Yu Mansion, how could he end up in such a situation?

After the incident, he was abandoned, and now his life and fortune are in others’ hands...

"It was I who was bewitched and said some unfavorable things about Mr. Chen in the court..."

Yan Peizhi wanted to explain further but was interrupted by Chen Mo, who said impatiently: "It is meaningless to discuss this now; the resentment between the Chen Family and the Yan Family cannot be resolved with a few words... If I fall into the hands of Lord Yan, I don’t need to say what would happen, right?"

Yan Peizhi was momentarily speechless.

He didn’t expect that a mere show of weakness would lead the other party to spare him generously.

"In theory, I should take this opportunity to crush the Yan Family, but at present, there is an even more important goal for me..." Chen Mo said softly, the white porcelain tea lid jumping and spinning between his fingers.

Yan Peizhi understood instantly: "Mr. Chen wants us to help you deal with the Princely Heir?"

Chen Mo said indifferently: "Chu Heng is, after all, a member of the Imperial Family. For the Sky Scale Guard to investigate him, there must be an oral decree from His Majesty, otherwise, it can only proceed through the Three Departments Tribunal... You two should understand my meaning, right?"

They certainly understood.

Chen Mo intended to target Chu Heng!

In this kind of matter, His Majesty could not intervene; otherwise, he would attract criticism for fratricide.

Only when the Imperial Examination Hall, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Ministry of Justice join forces can the doors of Prince Yu Mansion be smashed open, posing a real threat to Chu Heng!

Yan Peizhi did not hesitate at all and immediately declared, "The Ministry of Criminal Justice will fully support Mr. Chen!"

Although he was just the second-in-command of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, acting beyond his authority would normally irritate the Chief of Staff, but now he couldn’t worry about that, passing through the current difficulty was paramount.

Chen Mo shook his head: "The Ministry of Criminal Justice alone is not enough; how much do you know about the Minister of the Ministry of Justice Xu Lin?"

Feng Jinyu pondered: "I am an old acquaintance of Xu Lin. We’ve been close in former days; perhaps I can find a way..."

The Ministry of Rites, overseeing the Imperial Music Bureau, controlled numerous "resources." Many female relatives of convict officials, before being sent away, had been secretly brought to certain ministers’ residences as exclusive concubines... Therefore, Feng Jinyu had a broad network in the court and was very well-versed.

"Then this matter is entrusted to Mr. Feng."
