They've all gone to the last house in the alley. I heard they're catching someone in adultery, and there's a boy and a girl there—the adulterer's children. Oh, and the person caught in the act is Lord Huang.
【What?】I was just following someone else's gossip yesterday, and it's already been exposed today. No way, I have to go check it out.
I grabbed two steamed buns from the kitchen and hurriedly went out to eat some melon seeds.
[Host, why are you running so fast?]
[If you're not enthusiastic about gossip, you're out of your mind... With so many people around, if there's no big juicy gossip, then you're definitely not smart.]
Just then, the Crown Prince came by and wanted to greet her, but Ji Yingying ran away in a flash, not caring about the Crown Prince at all.
There were too many people at the entrance, and Ji Yingying, being short, couldn't see inside at all.
[Oh dear, I suddenly realize how short I am; I can't even see what's going on inside.]
The next second, a path was made to make way for her, and some people even peeked at her. This made Ji Yingying feel embarrassed. Why were they all turning around to watch her eat the bun?
Um... do I have chubby cheeks?
Immediately, everyone looked back into the house. Taking this opportunity, Ji Yingying walked to the threshold, squatted there, and ate steamed buns and melon seeds while watching the show!
Lord Huang in the courtyard was beating the adulterer to vent his anger, but unexpectedly, he found out about it in just one night after returning, which shows how blind he usually is.
Ji Yingying looked at the trembling woman, the violently beaten adulterer, and the two bewildered children. She couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, it's Mr. Huang. He actually caught the adulterer. I didn't expect that this concubine Huang was so bold and kept the adulterer under Mr. Huang's eyes. I wonder if Mr. Huang regrets it?" 】
[What's there to regret? He already found out; it's better than raising a pet only to have it murdered in the end!]
He regrets not raising his own daughter properly. Now that she has suffered so much, she will never forgive him. His later years will be quite miserable, since he couldn't have any more children and only had this one daughter in his life.
[Ah~ so his infertility was caused by his first wife drugging him. The poisonous woman's mother is quite shrewd. After discovering that he was using her money to support his concubine and then becoming pregnant herself, she drugged him, intending to make him take good care of their only child. After all, she had a premonition that she wouldn't survive. In the end, she probably didn't expect that her husband was also a wolf in sheep's clothing.]
[All I want now is for the Poisonous Woman to become stronger and seize Lord Huang's estate. It was originally hers, or at least her mother's. Besides, that bastard actually used his first wife's property to support his concubine, adulterer, and these two illegitimate children.]
Upon hearing that he would use his first wife's assets to support these people, he was so enraged that he almost fainted.
In the end, it was the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review who intervened and detained the whole family, sending them directly to the prison of the Court of Judicial Review, and only then did the drama end.
As Ji Yingying was about to leave, she saw the Poisonous Woman. Seeing her red eyes and looking at her with deep affection, Ji Yingying couldn't help but tremble.
What...what is she going to do? I don't like women! Especially not a rose with thorns, I can't stand it.
The poisonous woman, named Huang Qimeng, knelt down with red eyes, saying, "Thank you, Lord Ji. I will always remember your kindness. If you ever need me, I will go through fire and water for you. I will never fail you." After saying this, she kowtowed three times and left.
Ji Yingying was left alone, bewildered in the wind.
"She...she...is she insane? Thank you..." Before he could finish speaking, Lord Huang chased after him.
When Ji Yingying saw that there was more gossip, she chased after them without saying a word, forgetting all about the steamed buns in her hands.
“Mengmeng, I’m sorry. Master Ji is right. I will give you all my assets and money, including the house. You can move back, and I will move away.”
Lord Huang plans to move out of the house and let the two of them live there, and it won't matter whether they have children or not.
Lord Ji said his daughter had been... trained into a poisonous woman, and he didn't know how much longer she could live. In the meantime, he just wanted her to live a better life.
[Oh dear, this Lord Huang isn't bad either. If it were me, I could accept it. I can do without my father, but I can't do without money; that's my livelihood.]
"Alright, you move out and find your own courtyard. You can keep just one shop; the rest is mine." Huang Qimeng didn't stand on ceremony. Master Ji was right; it was their livelihood, and they couldn't give it up.
"Alright, alright, you can move back today, and I'll move out today." Lord Huang's eyes were red.
He didn't complain, nor did he dare to. With Lord Ji still here, if the Emperor's secret guards found out, his official career would be over.
As the crowd dispersed and Ji Yingying prepared to leave, she bumped into the Crown Prince who had come to arrest her.
"Hehe, what are you doing here, Your Highness?"
"Of course I've come to see you. Hasn't Master Ji had lunch yet?"
[Isn't that obvious? I just got out of bed and crawled out; I didn't have time to think about anything else. Because of this gossip, my steamed buns were stolen! I don't know which scoundrel stole them. They'd already eaten them; were they trying to eat my saliva? How disgusting!]
Crown Prince: ... He felt the helplessness that Ji Yingying described, like a crow flying over his forehead with its droppings!
"Yes, I didn't eat."
"Then let's go, I'll treat you to a meal."
"Really? Oh dear, I can't accept this. Thank you, Your Highness. I want roast chicken and pigeon too."
Why is she embarrassed? She's clearly very embarrassed, and she's already ordering food.
"Shall we go?" She was dressed in men's clothing, which was somewhat disheveled and her hair was not tied up properly, so Ning Qingran asked, "Do you need to go back and fix yourself?"
Ji Yingying looked down at her clothes, confused: "Did I wear something wrong? It's not messy either. Besides, it's just a meal; do I have to dress up or get all dolled up?"
"Then let's go!"
Speechless, Ning Qingran took the cheerful Ji Yingying to the market.
"Wow, this is the first time I've ever come out to see the street at this hour. I had no idea this street was so lively!" Ji Yingying found everything novel and exciting.
[I haven't been out for a stroll since I went to work every day. This emperor is a terrible person! This can't go on; he doesn't care about me at all!]
Ning Qingran was about to stop her from thinking nonsense when she realized that the people here seemed not to hear her.
Just as I was about to look at the flower ball, a woman was pushed out by a shop assistant.
[This is... trouble? Oh, I love it! Trouble! I've never encountered anything like this before, but today I've finally witnessed it. I must enjoy the show... no, I must play the hero.]
Ning Qingran thought she was going to rush up, but she didn't expect her to just watch from the side.
Ning Qingran: Is this how you act as a hero? Sure enough, the next second, Ji Yingying's inner thoughts were heard: [So salt is this expensive in this world!]
