Chapter 4

(7) The evil plot succeeded

As time passed, the rumors in the city about the emperor and the young marquis not only did not subside, but instead became more and more intense.

What? Someone saw the young marquis walking around the imperial city in disheveled clothes in the middle of the night, and someone saw the emperor entering and leaving the young marquis's mansion in casual clothes.

All kinds of rumors were rampant at once.

Yunniang was so scared that she cried a lot every three days and a little every two days.

He spent the whole day at home trying to commit suicide, wanting to end his life to avoid further torture in the future.

That day, when the young marquis came to play, he happened to see Yunniang crying and wanting to commit suicide.

At that time, Yunniang was hanging by the window, shaking her feet and wiping her tears with her hands.

The young marquis roared behind her, "What are you doing? Don't let your mind wander, Yunniang."

Yunniang was frightened and turned around just in time to see the young marquis pounce on her.

Yunniang was so frightened that she instinctively shrank back, and the young marquis accidentally pushed Yunniang with his hand when he pounced.

Yunniang actually fell straight out of the third-floor window.

This scene shocked me and the other servants.

The air seemed to stop flowing for a moment.

The only sound was Yunniang's miserable scream as she fell.

I was the first to react. I also screamed "Ah", and ran downstairs with tears on my face to look for Yunniang.

"Yunniang!" I roared to the sky and crawled out of the house.

After I knocked down two bodyguards and three servants and ran to the door, I saw a scene that I will never forget in my life.

Yunniang, all wet and expressionless, stood at the door.

God knows, I even stopped breathing at that moment.

“Ghost!”

I howled again and was ready to rush back upstairs in a panic.

As she turned around, she bumped into the young marquis's arms.

But at this moment I had forgotten my main mission of conquering the young marquis. My whole body was shaking and my breathing was disordered.

"Yunniang, Yunniang is standing at the door, all wet..."

I lay trembling in the young marquis's arms and described the scene I saw in a confusing manner.

"I'm not crazy, am I? Why is Yunniang standing at the door all wet?" I started rubbing my face and nose randomly again, trying to sense the real world.

At this time, a "pa chi" sound similar to a wet cloth hitting the ground came from behind.

I felt the young marquis' body stiffen as well.

When I turned around, I saw Yunniang standing not far behind me.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, save me!" I grabbed the young marquis's gorgeous brocade robe and screamed in despair.

In this world, Yunniang suddenly shook her wet long hair and yelled at me, "Shang Shisan, you're almost there."

I pressed my face against the young marquis's chest, still sobbing.

Yunniang walked into the house carelessly and wetly.

The maid immediately handed her a warm cloak to keep her warm.

"Yuniang, why are you like this?" The young marquis asked Yunniang, hugging me as if on purpose.

Yunniang rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Didn't you push me down?"

"Then why didn't you die? Why did you come back all wet?"

"I fell into the pond and no one rescued me, so I had to swim back by myself." Yunniang said this, leaving behind a chic back, and then went upstairs wet.

At this moment, I was still sobbing in the young marquis's arms.

"Woo, woo, I'm scared to death." I said in a soft voice.

The young marquis tilted his head and looked at me for a moment before asking me, "Is it so scary?"

"Yeah." I looked up and nodded seriously.

The young marquis patted my head comfortingly.

Hehehe, Yunniang is right, happiness must be fought for.

The evil plan succeeded!

(8) The evil plot succeeded

Ever since Yunniang was pushed down from the third floor by the young marquis, she has completely changed from her previous gloomy and miserable look.

"I just spread rumors for him, but he pushed me down from the third floor. This young marquis is really too vicious." Yunniang said while combing her silky long hair.

"But you're not dead." I sat on the large round wooden coffee table behind Yunniang and ate a roasted chicken drumstick. "According to the emperor's order, he's going to spank you 100 times, and beat you to death."

Yunniang suddenly put down the wooden comb in her hand, turned to me fiercely and said, "Is that what the emperor meant? Isn't that what your young marquis meant?"

When I heard what Yunniang said, I felt a little unhappy.

"But in the end, it was the Emperor who made the final decision to have you beaten to death. How could such a simple, kind, and promising young man like the young Marquis possibly do such harm? Wasn't that the Emperor's will?"

Unfortunately, Yunniang was so angry at the moment that she could not hear any of my harsh words.

She only wanted to seek revenge on the young marquis for pushing her down from the third floor.

"But if you kill the young marquis, I will be left without a husband."

I was a little unhappy and grumbled.

"When did the young marquis say he wanted to marry you? By the way, why don't you consider Wei Zhen, the Prince of Pingnan?" Yunniang said to me, shaking her long hair.

"I don't know Wei Zhen, but I think I'm doing pretty well in conquering the young marquis." I said as I tore off a piece of chicken leg and stuffed it into Yunniang's mouth.

Yunniang chewed on a chicken leg and said, "You just went to the bathroom. Did you wash your hands?"

I shook my head. “No.”

In the blink of an eye, Yunniang's face changed and I threw the chicken leg away.

The next moment, I rushed out of Yunniang's room in one breath, and heard Yunniang cursing behind me.

"Shang Shisan, you damn thing, I'm getting pissed off by you every day."

As I ran, I looked back and saw Yunniang standing at the door with a proud and arrogant look, roaring at me like a lion.

I ran a few steps, suddenly stopped, and began to tidy up my appearance, panting.

The reason I straightened my clothes was simple: I saw a handsome guy looking at me.

He was wearing a gorgeous black brocade robe and had a tall figure.

Behind that person, the young marquis was stepping into the door.

The handsome and fair-skinned young marquis who I originally thought was handsome and imposing was compared with the man with wheat-colored skin and black brocade robe. I felt that the young marquis' temperament still needed to grow and he looked much more immature.

The man kept staring at me with a slight smile on his face. His eyes, which seemed to see through me, stared at me so intently that I felt a little creepy.

I subconsciously touched my hair a few times quickly to straighten out my hair which was messy from running just now.

Afterwards, the man left Yunniang's courtyard in a flash. I took the opportunity to greet the young marquis: "Hey, young marquis, what a coincidence."

I greeted the young marquis happily.

In the tea room, there is the curling smoke of incense and charming singing.

A singer played the pipa and sang "Spring River Moon Night" with her beautiful voice.

At the same time, there are several graceful dancers performing with elegant dance moves.

Of course, if you think about it, the one who can sing so beautifully cannot be Yunniang.

Just with Yunniang's tone-deaf and hoarse voice, her "Ao" could send away several guests with heart problems on the spot.

She wouldn't be the one dancing either. After all, although Yunniang has a graceful figure, her limbs are very uncoordinated.

She never hits the right beats; it can even be said that Yunniang always misses all the key points of the dance.

As a music idiot, Yunniang could only sit at the table like a big boss and enjoy the performances of the singers and dancers.

However, at this time, I squatted outside the house with tears in my eyes, looking at my god of war cricket in the small bamboo cage over and over again.

"Wow, my God of War's four legs have become three legs, woooo." I squatted on the ground, wiping my tears and sobbing.

The incident happened half an hour ago. In fact, this morning, I noticed that my legs were a little sluggish.

But in order to please the young marquis, I was so cruel that I forced Situi to fight with the young marquis's cricket.

"As a result, four legs became three legs, woo woo woo."

I sobbed and lay on the maid, sobbing and telling her how my four legs became disabled and were forced to retire.

"Four Legs is my best friend. He's always been the invincible warrior who could defeat every little cricket in the city... But I didn't expect that he would lose." I sobbed, and the more I spoke, the sadder I felt. I couldn't help but recite a poem while crying: "Last year on this day in this garden, crickets with human faces fought happily."

"Stop talking. A cricket with a human face is a bit scary." The maid was probably infected by my sadness, and she looked sad too.

She sighed heavily and continued, "It's okay, Thirteen. Situi didn't lose to that lousy cricket. He lost to your love."

I stopped crying immediately.

"Really?"

At this moment, my eyes were filled with tears, but my expression became serious.

"Think about it, the young marquis cut off one of the four legs you loved so much. He must have compensated you."

"What kind of compensation do you want?" Yunniang appeared behind me and the maid at some point and said something out of the blue that scared me.

The eldest maid winked at Yunniang and said, "Let the young marquis pledge himself to her."

Yunniang showed an expression of disbelief, "Why don't you ask him to pay more compensation?"

Then he looked at me, who was looking shy, and said, "Fuck, are you two serious?"

Yunniang looked at me and the maidservant with disgust as if she had seen feces.

Hearing this, I felt a little embarrassed again.

"Ah, it doesn't really matter whether I'm allowed or not. The main thing is that I can become the Marquis' wife through my struggle..."

This time, the maidservant put on an expression of disbelief again.

"I just cut off a cricket's leg for you, and you insist on clinging to it for life. Your price is too high, God of War."

Yunniang squatted on the ground, rolled her eyes, and then muttered, "Let's give it a try. Maybe I can make a small profit."

Then she stood up suddenly, shook her hair, and walked into the house with great momentum.

I also trotted all the way, following Yunniang like a dog, and walked into the house with high spirits.
