Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 2701: Chapter 2701: A Loose Tongue Invites Trouble

...

The steward did his job swiftly. An hour later, all the major clans in the capital had already received invitations from Prince Zhan Residence.

But the heads of these major clans weren’t in such a pleasant mood. Everyone knew that with Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang, this was clearly a case of having ulterior motives!

It was uncertain what plans they were concocting and why they suddenly focused on these insignificant small aristocratic families.

But regardless of what everyone thought, attending the banquet at the Moonlight Tavern was mandatory. If they dared not go, there might be no place for them in the Daqing Kingdom.

Three days later, inside the Moonlight Tavern.

The entire tavern was reserved, and the invited Noble Clan Patriarchs had all arrived. At this moment, they stood in groups chatting.

The main figures, Prince Zhan and Prince An Yang, had not yet arrived. They didn’t dare sit down casually and could only stand. However, standing had its benefit of allowing acquaintances to gather and converse.

"Brother Gou, what do you think the two princes invited us for?" asked a middle-aged man in a green robe, lowering his voice to the few companions standing by him.

Those two were notoriously formidable; he’d heard news from the palace that even the Retired Emperor had entirely fallen into their hands.

Moreover, the Emperor was completely compliant with the two princes!

"Did you know? I heard that the two haven’t left the residence these days. It’s uncertain... what they’re doing there?"

The middle-aged man referred to as Brother Gou glanced sideways at the man in the green robe, muttering inwardly: Using the word ’invite,’ indeed, he was flattering himself.

With the status of those two, even a casual beckoning would require them to obediently hurry over, even if they were at the edge of the world.

’Invite’? If the two princes heard that, who knows what they’d think of them.

The two other men standing beside Brother Gou also changed their expressions upon hearing the words of the man in the green robe. They suddenly felt regret, believing they shouldn’t have been standing with him. What if they said something wrong and invited disaster upon themselves?

Haven’t they heard the saying that misfortune comes from the mouth?

"Brother Gou, Brother Han, you both stand here, I’ll go outside and check. I came in a hurry earlier, and the house servant mixed up the gifts I prepared. I need to oversee it a bit."

The man in the blue robe said to the others and was preparing to exit. He certainly didn’t want to be implicated by someone whose mouth had no filter.

"Speaking of gifts, I should also take a look, just in case there’s any mistake," another man added.

Anyway, for the time being, they didn’t want to stay with someone who couldn’t mind his words. Though their mouths were restrained, they couldn’t prevent someone nearby from speaking recklessly without thought!

"Hey, you..."

Seeing the two leave, the man in the green robe still hadn’t realized he’d spoken wrongly.

"Wait up, I’ll also take a look. Since leaving the residence, I haven’t checked the gifts I prepared. Hope there isn’t really a mistake." Saying this, he hurried along after them.

Upon hearing his words, the two quickened their pace.

They had both found excuses to leave; why was he still catching up? Couldn’t he find someone else to talk to, why cling to them?

Patriarch Gou let out a quiet sigh of relief when they left, genuinely fearing that this person who couldn’t stop talking would drag him into greater trouble. To an outsider, it might seem like they were close friends.
