230. Chapter 230: A House Full of Monsters

Chapter 230 A House Full of Monsters

The tone was quite sarcastic. Wei Mingliang frowned in displeasure and was about to retort, but Xiao Jingfan was impatient to listen to the two of them bickering. It was New Year's Day and he still had to attend a family dinner.

So it was decided that the wedding would take place in Dasheng, with the Ministry of Rites taking charge.

Of course, Xiao Jingfan did not favor one over the other and specifically ordered that all wedding ceremonies be conducted in accordance with the customs of Western Xia. He would definitely hold a lively and grand wedding for the two.

Wei Mingliang's face was as gloomy as iron, and he didn't recover until he walked out of the palace.

"Stop!" Wei Ming Yu Jin ran over, her skirt in hand, and grabbed Yin Mei Zhen's arm. "I treat you as a friend, why did you lie to me?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, let go!" Yin Meizhen shook off her hand and strode forward.

Wei Ming Yu Jin chased after her unwillingly, but unexpectedly Yin Meizhen turned around suddenly. She didn't stop and bumped into Yin Meizhen's arms.

Yin Meizhen put her arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "You believe everything I say. You're so stupid and gullible. If I don't lie to you, who should I lie to?"

Wei Ming Yu Jin was stunned and looked up at her, her beautiful eyes full of astonishment.

Yin Meizhen reached out and stroked the side of her face. The corners of her lips curved up, and she said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The palace of Dasheng is full of liars like me. If you don't want to be treated like a fool after entering the palace, you should be more careful."

"You..." Wei Ming Yu Jin grabbed Yin Meizhen's clothes and opened her mouth to say something, but Yin Meizhen pulled her hand away and turned away.

Wei Ming Yu Jin pursed her lips and blinked at Yin Meizhen's back.

She came here to cause trouble, so why did she get taught a lesson instead?

"Hey, why are you walking so fast?" Princess Gaochang took two quick steps to catch up with Yin Meizhen, walked side by side with her, and looked at her with her head tilted.

Yin Meizhen frowned: "Princess, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"It's just a small matter." Princess Gaochang leaned close to her and whispered, "I don't want to enter the palace either. Can you give me some of that smoke? I'll also find a man to make it a done deal."

Yin Meizhen staggered in shock. How could someone casually say such a deadly thing? Was she familiar with this person?

"I told you not to walk so fast." Princess Gaochang reached out to support her. "You did me this favor, and I'll remember it. If you want to hit someone next time, just tell me and I'll help you."

Yin Meizhen: “…”

She's not a violent person.

"I don't understand what you're saying, Princess." She said calmly, "It's getting late, Princess, you should go back."

She wanted to shake off Princess Gaochang's hand, but Princess Gaochang held on tightly and with great strength, so she couldn't shake it off at all.

She said angrily, "Let go."

"No." Princess Gaochang pulled her towards the carriage, saying, "We are all women. You can't just stand by and watch someone die."

Yin Meizhen was forced to follow her and heard her say, "The drug is hard to buy. All I bought was flour, which is useless. Where did you buy it?"

Yoon Mi-jin: ? ?!

Did you buy drugs?

No, why on earth should I tell her this?

"How about this, you give me the drug and I'll teach you some self-defense." Princess Gaochang put her arm around Yin Meizhen's frail shoulders. "I heard that the Second Prince has a lot of women in his backyard. You know what having a lot of women means, right? As long as you learn my tricks, if they dare to disobey you or act sarcastic towards you, just slap them. I have experience with them."

She said she had experience, Yin Meizhen looked at her and said, with this girl's strength, are the concubines in Emperor Gaochang's harem any better?

"Don't just look at me." Princess Gaochang hugged her and swung her. "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

Yoon Mi-jin's shoulders hurt from being hugged by her. Does this princess know how strong she is?

She twisted her shoulders and struggled, "I don't understand what you are saying, let go."

"Tsk, why are you playing dumb?" Princess Gaochang let go of her shoulders and grabbed her arm again. "If you're not satisfied, we can negotiate."

Yin Meizhen: “…”

Yin Taiyu stood beside the carriage for a while, and seeing that Yin Meizhen didn't come over, he sent someone to urge her.

Yin Meizhen took the opportunity to break free from Princess Gaochang's hand and ran away as if there was a dog chasing her from behind.

Princess Gaochang folded her arms and tutted unhappily.

You can run away now but not tomorrow. We all live in the same inn. Isn’t it easy to block us?

The first day of the Lunar New Year, a long-awaited sunny day.

The sunlight shines through the window lattice onto my body, looking golden but not very warm.

Chu Liuzheng lay by the window looking at the sky, his almond-shaped eyes half-closed, and from time to time he took a piece of osmanthus cake from the plate beside him to eat, looking very comfortable.

The osmanthus cake is left over from yesterday.

I was so happy last night that I made everyone at the table drunk with just two small jars of wine.

Xiao Xiazi and Xiao Yunzi hugged each other and cried bitterly, calling each other "brother" and "brother" as if they were singing a folk song in duet.

Moxiang chased Yuzhui to embroider on her skirt, while Yuzhui looked all over the house for her sister to feed her snacks.

Chen Xing looked everywhere for a knife and poked Si Yue with a piece of wood. Si Yue pushed her away and concentrated on mixing various soups and liquids in a bowl. It was not known whether she was playing house or simply thought it tasted better this way.

Xia Qiaoru hugged Chu Liuzheng like an octopus, crying and laughing, saying that she missed Brother Zhijie, and then reaching out to tear off Chu Liuzheng's clothes, insisting that Chu Liuzheng apply medicine on his injuries.

Chu Liuzheng, the only one drinking the soup, looked at the room full of monsters and ghosts and wanted to get drunk, but unfortunately the wine jar was empty.

In the end, Qiaoqiao and Yu Suo who were passing by came to help. They cooked some sobering soup and fed it to everyone one by one. After everyone woke up, they all went back to sleep.

Chu Liuzheng was so tired that he fell asleep without even eating the melon he had been longing for.

There's nothing to do right now, but I can catch up on last night's melon.

She turned on the system and read gossip while chewing osmanthus cake.

The Second Prince of Western Xia, under the guise of drunkenness, flirted with Princess Meizhen, but was caught by Emperor Sunguang and his entourage. The Third Prince of Goryeo was furious and demanded justice for Princess Meizhen. Emperor Sunguang mediated, and the Second Prince of Western Xia agreed to take Princess Meizhen as his concubine, and the marriage took place in Dasheng.

[Tsk tsk, this is all following the tyrant's script. Just based on this one piece of gossip, who would have known there were so many twists and turns behind this matter?]

Chu Liuzheng scrolled down and looked at the details.

[Hey, Butterfly was actually tricked by an ordinary Pearl Flower. What kind of Pearl Flower is this... Fuck! Butterfly thought it was me who asked him out, so how come I'm just a tool?]

[It's over. Flower Butterfly won't blame me for everything, right? Oh~ I'll pay you my appearance fee first!]

[The fake princess's makeup skills are quite good. If the butterfly can't move, then she can do it herself to make herself comfortable. She put so much paint on her neck that it took me ages to wash it off after returning home.]

[Sigh, a confrontation in public, with all these words, my eyes are red with anger. The Third Prince is cooperating quite well. When the secret guard disguised himself as the Imperial Physician Wei and sneaked in to find him, didn't he refuse flatly? You still want to arrest him, but now you've been slapped in the face, right?]

[The Tyrant can give him anything that Butterfly can. Although the interest rate is higher, the benefits are also greater. It is definitely more cost-effective to cooperate with the Tyrant than with Butterfly... Uh, wait, I take that back.]
