Why would someone stab you in the back out of nowhere?
[After court the day before yesterday, he went home, and then went to a brothel that evening. Later, because he needed an injection, the brothel was taken over by the imperial guards, and he almost got raped in bed; it nearly gave him a stroke.]
After tidying up, he stormed downstairs intending to yell at someone, but he yelled at the wrong person. That person, enraged, stabbed him. He didn't die, but he was nearly killed and is still at home today.
Since no one was home, no one asked him to take leave.
[I feel like by the time his boss realizes what's happening, this guy will be dead.] Ji Yingying doesn't think he's that miserable, she just finds him disgusting.
[Lust is a double-edged sword; he'll die surrounded by women sooner or later.]
[And what about you, host? You're the same way.]
【Why would I say that? Are you crazy? I only like reading storybooks.】
What about Liuxiangju?
【Okay, I like tough guys and beautiful girls.】 Ji Yingying honestly admitted that if she got the chance, she would still go to Liuxiangju. However, every time she got to the door, she was caught and turned back. Liuxiangju wouldn't let her go.
[There's another piece of gossip out there, wanna eat some?]
[Eating, more people, cold weather, time to eat melons, time to go bankrupt.]
See that adult over there? He's in the row opposite, the one named Yang Shen.
What did he do?
He's a heartless man too.
[A heartless man? He betrayed his wife?]
[No, it wasn't his fiancée. Her family had sponsored his studies for ten years, but after he passed the imperial examination, the first thing he did was send someone back to his hometown to break off the engagement, because he had fallen for the emperor's third princess.]
[Ha, the Third Princess? She actually thinks he's worthy of her? Have she no shame?! Has the engagement been called off yet?]
[He refused to pay her back. He's shameless, really. Someone sponsored him for ten years, spending a lot of money, and what did he do? He didn't repay a single penny, which led to that girl's suicide.]
Is he dead?
[He didn't die, he was rescued, but his condition is probably not good.]
See? Feeling sorry for a man brings you bad luck for a lifetime; spending money on a man brings you bad luck for three lifetimes.
His fiancée's family won't see it that way. Once things calm down, they'll probably come to the capital and cause trouble, at the latest by spring.
"You still want him? If it were me, I'd ruin his reputation, make sure he can't even hold his official position, and send him home to farm."
Ji Yingying felt sorry for that girl. Next time, she would definitely tell all girls not to spend money on men. They have hands and feet, and they still need to rely on women. They should absolutely not be with them.
[Host, you'll have to help her out later. It's a terrible situation, because that bastard actually tried to trick that girl into losing her virginity to the most ruthless man in their village. That scoundrel killed two of his wives.]
[Hiss~ It's like a venomous snake, so creepy.]
At first, the adult didn't know who he was talking about and was still listening. But when he heard the rest, his eyes widened.
His face was filled with: How could this be? How could this happen?
How did she know?
[Host, you're wrong. He's more twisted than a viper. His first plan failed, so he wants his fiancée's family dead. Once they're dead, no one will know he was financially supported by a woman.]
[Ugh~ This is disgusting. We have to help, we have to help. How far have we gotten?]
[They haven't sent anyone back yet, but they'll probably make their move today.]
【Then I'll have Rong Yi protect him, and later have someone help him out. Ideally, he should become that family's slave, beaten and abused every day.】
Ji Yingying groaned, feeling very unhappy.
Compared to him, the one before him, who ranked tenth in the second class of the imperial examination, was also supported by his fiancée's family.
Did he also curse back while holding the bowl?
[No, he didn't. The first thing he did after passing the imperial examination was to send people to bring his parents and fiancée over. He even planned to hire a few people to take care of her. His family relied entirely on his fiancée; his parents were in poor health and unable to work, so they were all supported by her. He knew how to repay kindness, and his parents were also good to the girl.]
Moreover, upon hearing that the girl could read and write, the parents thought that now that he had a salary, he should send his daughter to school. Even if she didn't become an official, at least she could learn to read.
[Yes, that's right. When two people support each other, their small family is harmonious, and the community is more harmonious, so everyone can live and work in peace and contentment.]
[That's really good. Compared to him, that scoundrel is nowhere near as good. Someone like him won't last long in his career.]
Why is the court session taking so long today? I'm starving. I wonder what delicious food the Crown Princess has prepared?
No sooner had she finished thinking about it than the Emperor waved his hand, and after everyone knelt and bowed, he left.
Ji Yingying quickly grabbed the Crown Prince and said with a smile, "Your Highness, it's time for us to eat."
"Okay, okay, come back with me."
Why does the Crown Prince's tone sound so similar to mine?
I don't know either!
[Host, it's been a long time since you visited the Eastern Palace. Shouldn't you bring a gift?]
"Are you crazy? The master of the Eastern Palace is the one in power. Since ancient times, only those in power have given authority to those in lower positions. Remember, I am a public servant, working for the royal family. I'm bringing gifts to the Eastern Palace. It's better if he doesn't give me any."
[That’s right, hehe~]
The prince who was following beside her couldn't help but laugh. This girl is so cute.
Upon arriving at the East Palace, the Crown Princess was already waiting and immediately greeted them.
"Sister Ji, it's been a long time."
"Yeah yeah."
[The Crown Prince is eating so well! Look at the Crown Princess's skin, so smooth and delicate, and look at her thick hair. Sigh, Crown Prince, I'm afraid you'll be indulging in revelry every night.]
No, the Crown Princess wouldn't give it to him, and the Crown Prince is quite resentful.
【What? 】
[Hehe~] Xiangxiang laughed so hard that she broke down in laughter. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess both blushed. This girl really knew everything.
"Someone, please show some kindness."
"yes"
There are quite a few beauties in the Eastern Palace. Look at these palace maids; they're quite pretty too.
Those all belong to the Crown Princess; you can't take them.
I don't want to. I like to look, but I don't like to touch.
A lot of lunch was prepared, including chicken. Ji Yingying ate a lot of it and chatted with the Crown Princess while eating. The conversation was so intense... not only was it overwhelming, but she also didn't let any words fall to the ground. The Crown Princess couldn't stand it.
I couldn't help but think: the inner thoughts are gone, but the mouth has started babbling on and on.
The prince couldn't stand it anymore, so he left immediately after eating, leaving the two of them to chat.
[Host, stop talking and hurry up and eat your melon. Look at that palace maid who just came in.]
Ji Yingying quickly looked up, and the Crown Princess also looked up immediately. The palace maid was quite pretty, with a nose and eyes.
Doesn't she have a nose and eyes?
Yeah, what's wrong?
She obtained aphrodisiacs from outside the palace, intending to drug the Crown Prince tonight and climb into his bed.
【Holy crap, what's wrong? Does she want to be a concubine?】
No, she wanted to become the Crown Prince's consort. Her plan was to become the Crown Prince's woman, then vie for his favor, and finally drug the Crown Prince's consort and send her to her death.
