Chapter 189: I Won't Let You Go
Prince Hui fell seriously ill in the Yongxiang Palace. His Majesty, unable to bear it, ordered that he be pardoned and allowed to return to his palace to recuperate.
His Majesty truly dotes on this son.
Jingwu fumbled for the invitation, lost in thought.
After the servants finished dressing, they stood up and headed towards the dining hall.
It was lunchtime, and as soon as Jingwu walked in, he saw that the Shao family was all there, so he greeted them with a smile.
"Uncle, Aunt, Cousin."
Upon hearing the sound, Shao Che looked up, and a smile appeared on his previously worried face.
"Ah Wu is here! Come on, we've been waiting for you to start the meal."
Jingwu noticed the expressions on the three people's faces and sensed that something was amiss, so he asked.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Shao Che glanced at his wife, wanting her to speak, but was glared at and stopped her.
He scratched his head awkwardly, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Awu, I heard from the maid who delivers meals to Qiulan Courtyard that your mother has been crying since last night and hasn't stopped. Do you think we should go and see her?"
Upon hearing this, Jingwu paused in his chopsticks, then said, "Have a doctor stay there and watch over her. If she faints from crying, they can save her immediately."
"Cough." Ruan Chongyue had just taken a sip of soup when she heard this and almost choked.
She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, feeling extremely embarrassed: "Awu, is this really okay?"
While eating, Jingwu said, "There's nothing wrong with it. She's crying simply because I brought her son out and I didn't promise to prepare a dowry for Jing Shu. Let her cry."
Hearing this, Ruan Chongyue found it somewhat unbelievable and subconsciously asked, "Prepare a dowry? Why do you need to prepare a dowry? Is it for your sister?"
Jingwu opened his mouth and took a bite of food. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the woman in front of him continue.
"How could this be? How can one daughter prepare a dowry for another? Your mother is really senile! Where is Jingming? Where did he go? Your second aunt gave birth, your sister got married, and he was nowhere to be found. How can he be a husband and father?"
Hearing the angry voice, Jingwu stood up and poured her a bowl of soup, placing it in front of her: "Aunt, don't be angry, have some soup. She didn't ask me to prepare it, but rather... she asked you to prepare her dowry."
"us?"
Upon hearing this, the three spoke in unison.
"Hmm." Jingwu nodded, eating his food as he said, "But Uncle, Aunt, don't worry, I clearly told her it's impossible. Let her cry if she wants to, just ignore her."
Ruan Chongyue opened her mouth, sat down in the chair and thought about it carefully, then said, "It's fine for us to prepare it. It just so happens that the restaurant made a lot of money recently. It would be good to take out a portion to prepare her dowry."
"No need, Aunt, you should keep the money safe and leave it to her," Jingwu said with a smile, pointing to her pregnant belly.
"She doesn't need it for now. This money was earned thanks to you, otherwise..."
“Aunt, no need!” Jingwu put down his chopsticks, looked into the eyes of the person in front of him, and said seriously, “There’s no need to prepare a dowry for her. The money the restaurant makes has nothing to do with her and her daughter.”
This was the first time Ruan Chongyue had seen the girl speak so seriously. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Seeing that she had agreed, Jingwu didn't bring it up again.
After finishing her meal, she stood up and said, "I'm going out for a bit, and I might be back late, so don't leave the door open for me."
"Okay, it's cold outside, take a coat with you when you go out." Ruan Chongyue nodded, but said with some concern.
"good."
Jingwu agreed, returned to his bedroom, and found an outer garment.
Just as he was about to leave, he remembered something, gave the wet nurse a few instructions, and then turned and went out.
Although I have given orders to find another wet nurse, it is impossible to find a suitable candidate in a short time. For now, I can only ask this wet nurse to take on the hard work and keep an eye on things.
As soon as Jingwu reached the gate, she saw a maid rushing over and handing her a bag of snacks.
"Miss, Madam said she was worried you might go hungry, so she specially prepared some snacks for you to take with you."
Jingwu took the bag, hung it on his body, and nodded with a smile: "Please thank your aunt for me."
After saying that, he turned and walked out the door.
She consulted a divination as soon as she stepped out, and then, following the divination, quickly walked towards the brothel.
Jingwu strode with long strides, walking aggressively down the street as if he were about to start a fight.
Soon, she arrived at the brothel and was about to go inside when she was stopped by a middle-aged woman.
"Oh dear, young lady. This is a brothel, not a place for young girls like you."
The middle-aged madam spoke with a smile, keeping her outside the door.
“I know it’s a brothel. I’m here to find someone.” Jing Wu raised his eyes and stared at her intently, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Upon hearing this, the madam became even more hesitant to let her in.
Her brothel was frequented by high-ranking officials and nobles every day. The young girl looked simply dressed, but the fabric she wore was of the finest quality.
She's probably the daughter of some family; judging by her demeanor, she seems to be looking for her lover or fiancé.
If she really finds it, there will be a huge uproar!
"Oh dear, young lady. It's really inappropriate for a young girl like you to enter such a place of pleasure. I really dare not let you in."
The madam had a smile on her face, her eyes darting around, and her tone was very gentle.
Upon hearing this excuse, Jingwu's expression instantly turned cold.
She thought for a moment, then nodded, left, and walked into the alley.
He quickly chanted the teleportation spell and teleported into the brothel.
Jingwu looked around and quickly spotted a room. No wonder he went there.
The next second, with a bang, the door was kicked inside.
The people inside the room were startled by the noise and sat up halfway on the bed.
"who?"
Hearing the stern voice, Jingwu smiled and walked towards the bed. As soon as he lifted the pink bed curtains, he saw the sleepy-eyed Prince Yu.
A slight smile played on her lips as she looked at him with a leisurely air: "Long time no see, Your Highness!"
Prince Yu's face changed instantly. He was about to pick up his clothes when he realized that he could not move.
What did you do to me?
"Your Highness, please don't be nervous. It's just that you need to stay in bed a little longer."
Jingwu pulled up a chair, sat down, and crossed his legs.
"You... I am a prince. If you dare to do anything to me, I will never let you off, nor will I let the Shao family off!"
