Chapter 125: Want to Be a Bully
"Please, Princess, cherish me; please, Liang Kang." Young Master Yuan knew that Ji Yingying's medical skills were superb, but how could he, a commoner, possibly have the opportunity to meet her?
Why not take this opportunity to ask them for help?
"I can save him, but what will you give in return?" Young Master Yuan had nothing left.
He fell silent for a moment.
Madam Liang immediately knelt down and said, "Please, Princess, save my son. Whatever the princess wants, I, Zeng Yingdong, will never refuse, even if it means going through fire and water."
She was referring to herself, not the Liang family.
"How is the Liang family doing?" Ji Yingying asked Xiangxiang, she had her own thoughts to consider.
"He's alright, a fourth-rank official. You see Lord Liang regularly at court, don't you know what he's like?"
Hehe, I really don't know. I have so many colleagues, how do I know them all?
She didn't recognize many of them; the ones she was most familiar with were a few high-ranking officials from the Six Ministries, and the rest were just... well, let's just say they didn't know her.
When Lord Liang heard about his family's situation, he also stepped forward and knelt down: "Please, Lord Ji, save my son."
[This is Lord Liang? I get the feeling he's a petty person.]
Don't judge a book by its cover. He may not be good-looking, but he hasn't caused any trouble. He's just a bully at home; you'll see when you go to his house—it's full of concubines.
[Did they have three palaces and six courtyards?]
"How could that be? There are ten concubines!"
Good heavens, how could Madam Liang tolerate this? And this kind of womanizer is truly disgusting; I can't even think about it, it makes me nauseous.
After giving birth to her second son, Mrs. Liang started sleeping in a separate room from him.
Good grief, what kind of person is Liang Kang? What if we end up rescuing an ungrateful wretch?
[So far, he seems like a nice person.]
"Please, Princess, save Liang Kang. If you ever need my help in the future, I will go through fire and water for you." Zeng Yingdong immediately stopped him: "You are a good child. Don't do this for Kang'er. I, as the mother, will take full responsibility for the Liang family's debts."
"Yuan Da, your family has fallen on hard times, what are your plans now?"
"I plan to take my younger siblings back to our hometown to farm in peace."
"That's fine too. Tomorrow, Your Highness. It seems like tomorrow is a day off, isn't it?"
"Yes, but Minister Gong has something to discuss with you, so you probably won't be able to go to the Yuan family."
Ji Yingying immediately patted her forehead: "Yes, yes, the Emperor asked me to get him badminton rackets and sportswear."
She had completely forgotten about it.
Not only that, you should also check on the sweet potatoes; after all, you spent money on them.
Minister Gong couldn't help but give Xiangxiang a thumbs up. "That's right, the sweet potatoes have been in a cool place for several days now, and they've already sprouted. Ji Yingying hasn't even gone to the estate to pick out land yet."
This is something she mentioned when she taught us planting methods; she went to select the land.
Oh my God, I've dug such a huge hole for myself.
"How about this, you take Liang Kang to my house in a wheelchair, and I'll take a look at him when I have some free time. Tomorrow is my day off..."
[Take a break my ass! I only get one day off, and I still have to work overtime. You old emperor, you deserve to die! Bullying a little girl like me!]
Everyone was shocked, since all those present were women, and they were all so frightened that they knelt down.
Only the ministers who frequently attended court with him were a little bolder, but even they were trembling with fear.
What is a wheelchair?
"Ah... no wheelchair, well... how about you wait for me at your place? Until I'm done with my work?" Ji Yingying thought that a couple more days wouldn't make a difference.
"Tomorrow I will carry Liang Kang to the Ji family. I beg Your Highness to save Liang Kang."
"Won't this be a lot of trouble?"
“No, no,” Yuan Da said immediately.
"Alright, you guys decide."
Ji Yingying looked unwell. There was a pig's trotter on the table, which Ji Yingying picked up and started eating.
I hate the Emperor! He gives me so many things to do, and I don't want to do any of them. I want to be a good-for-nothing, a bully, and a ultimate playboy.
It was already late when the Crown Prince escorted Ji Yingying and Fang Yulan back to the Ji residence before returning home.
The events that occurred at the Marquis of Wu'an's residence today have been relayed to the Emperor in detail.
The words Ji Yingying used to scold him also got through, and the person who delivered the message knelt down, not daring to move an inch.
The one who cursed the emperor to death wasn't him! Please don't kill him!
After reading it, the Emperor couldn't help but sigh. This Ji Yingying really didn't give him any face at all, and just cursed him out so shrewishly, yet he couldn't do anything to her.
"Alright, all of you, step back."
"yes"
After the guard came out of the imperial study, the cool breeze outside made him feel that his back was soaked with sweat.
That was terrifying. From now on, I'll try to stay away from Ji Yingying as much as possible; she's too scary.
The next day, just as Ji Yingying woke up, Granny Xia came in and said that Minister Gong had arrived.
"You're here? Where are you now?"
"The master is entertaining us in the front hall."
"Oh," Ji Yingying responded, wanting to close her eyes and go to sleep again, so Granny Xia had no choice but to pick her up.
"Granny, I don't want to get up." Ji Yingying was so sleepy, she really didn't want to get up.
"But if you don't get up soon, Madam will be coming."
Ji Yingying: ...Having a mother is truly a torment, and having to work overtime is even more of a torment.
"knew!"
Ji Yingying got up, washed up, changed her clothes, took two pieces of pastry, and slowly walked to the front hall.
"Hey, why are you here so early?" Ji Yingying leaned lazily against the door.
Seeing her like this, Ji Cailiang sighed helplessly, went out and carried her in, placing her on a chair.
"Young Master Ji, our matter cannot be delayed. These sweet potatoes, when are you going to take a look? And the badminton rackets and sportswear that the Emperor requested, when can you give them to me?"
People say that the one who owes money is the boss, but he doesn't owe any money, so why can't he stand up for himself?
"Here you go, badminton racket and sportswear."
[I drew this all night long last night. I couldn't even read more than a few pages of a storybook before going to sleep because of this bastard.]
"Alas, alas, alas..." Minister Gong felt as insignificant as dust. This little ancestor could not be scolded, could not be hit, and even asking for something was difficult.
"When shall we plant sweet potatoes today?"
"Yes, I also want to know when Minister Ji will go to plant sweet potatoes?" The Emperor arrived unnoticed and was already standing at the door.
The two of them immediately went to greet him, but Ji Yingying didn't move an inch. Only after he stepped forward a little did she speak, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Hmm, are you still half asleep?"
"No, Your Majesty. Why don't you treat me to breakfast? I haven't had breakfast yet."
[Eating only two pieces of pastry first thing in the morning won't do. The big boss is here; letting him treat us is an option, after all, I'm a top salesperson.]
"Alright, I'll treat you to a meal. However, after you finish eating, you'll need to go to the estate to see how sweet potatoes are grown."
"Understood!" Just as he replied, Young Master Yuan arrived carrying Liang Kang on his back, and the servants invited him in.
