Chapter 9: My Eyes Are Going Blind
The main courtyard of the palace, East Flower Hall.
Sitting upright on a mahogany chair, Princess Yu looked at her handsome and unrivaled son and angrily asked, "You still remember to come back?"
The Jade Prince stepped forward, bowed with an affectionate smile, and said, "It's all my fault. I made you unhappy. Mother, please forgive me."
"What have you done wrong? It's my fault as your mother. I forced you to marry a princess you didn't like, and caused you to walk away in anger on your wedding day."
"Don't be angry, mother," the Jade King said, about to kneel down and kowtow, "I really know I was wrong."
Seeing this, the old princess felt distressed and said, "What are you doing? Hurry up and get up. I'm not angry."
The Jade Prince stood up and said with a happy smile, "I knew that my mother would miss me the most."
Seeing this, the old princess smiled helplessly, "You, hurry up and get up. Have you had lunch yet?"
The Jade King stepped forward and said, "It has been used, mother?"
"I've already used it," she said, motioning her son to sit across from her. Then, with a kind smile, she said, "Although you left yesterday on our wedding night, I told the princess to find you and you've come to terms with it. As a mother, I'm no longer angry."
Prince Jade raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, "Did the princess come to see me last night?"
The old princess was stunned. "Yes, how come you don't know?"
Jade King's eyes flashed, "Of course I knew that, but I just found out that it was my mother who asked her to go."
The old princess smiled again, "I know what you're thinking. Marrying Xiao is just a temporary solution. Don't worry, mother has already arranged everything for you. We're just waiting for the birth of a legitimate son. Whether it's Rong'er or your confidante, mother will help you bring her back."
Upon hearing this, the Jade King just smiled.
The old princess was even happier when she saw that he didn't refute her like before.
Prince Yu chatted with the old princess for a while before getting up and leaving the flower hall.
As soon as he came out, he asked with a cold face, "What happened to Xiao's going to Jinque Tower last night?"
The housekeeper immediately said, "Your Highness, it was the old princess who was furious when she saw you leave, so she forced him to go to the brothel to look for you."
"What I'm asking you is that Xiao stayed at Jinque Tower last night, but no one from the mansion came to report it?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The princess went to Jinque Tower to look for you, so..."
"If something like this happens again, you'll have to quit your job as the palace's chief steward."
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Go down."
The steward hurriedly retreated and the guard Yang Qing stepped forward.
"Did any of our men see the princess last night?"
"I haven't seen her, but I just sent someone to check. Last night, after the princess entered the Golden Palace, she and the maid found an empty room and stayed there secretly for the whole night. She didn't dare to come back until dawn today."
The Jade Prince sneered, "She's quite clever, actually using this trick to deceive Mother. But it's fine this way. Let her comfort Mother for me first. When I have time, I can make her disappear with good reason."
"Your Highness is wise. In this case, Your Highness, are you going to get Hua Wan to warn the Xiao family now?"
"No need. Her role is only to deal with mother. Don't worry about her for the rest of the time."
"yes."
Willows are swaying, and the sunset glows orange.
Xiao Tu, who had a good nap, was leaning on the gilded couch, eating cherries and admiring the sunset.
The day is almost over, I don't have to worry about making a living, I don't have to starve because of lack of money, it's really comfortable~
However, such a pleasant scene may not be so pleasing to the eyes of some people.
Under the willow tree not far away, two pretty girls, one in pink and one in white, looked particularly unhappy at the moment.
"Second sister, she is just the daughter of a fallen nobleman, yet she is acting so arrogantly in our palace?" Miss Yu San was very angry.
Miss Yu Er sneered, "I am not some poor noble now, I am the princess of our Yu Mansion."
"As for her, bah, she's just lucky enough to be noticed by my mother. She's going to die sooner or later."
Yu Huaijin sneered maliciously, "That's right, I'm just a worthless person, how can I enjoy happiness?"
"So what's the trick, second sister?"
"What tricks can I use? Mother specifically told you and me today not to cause trouble for her for now."
Yu Huaixiu stamped her feet and said, "What should I do? I get angry when I see her like that."
Yu Huaijin smiled and nodded at her, "Don't be anxious, little sister. We can't do it, but others can."
"What does Second Sister mean?"
"You forgot about your fourth brother."
"The bastard?"
"That's a perverted devil."
"Second sister means—" Yu Huaixiu's eyes lit up, "Okay, this is a good idea. I'll get someone to bring him over right now."
The sun is setting in the sky, casting a gorgeous glow all around.
Xiao Tu was enjoying the view when a figure that was totally out of tune with the beautiful scenery appeared right in front of her.
Looking closely, the other person was also dressed in brocade and jade clothes, and the jade crown on his head was inlaid with gems, but he had a long face, triangular eyes, and a wretched look. Not only that, his face was also covered with thick powder.
This is not enough. The evil spirit on his head is colored green. He swallows his saliva in lust, like a hungry wolf that has been thirsty for several days, and rushes towards him with a loud cry, "Beauty~"
Xiao Tu, who was enjoying the beautiful scenery, was shocked when he saw this scene.
Then, while hiding in the dark and waiting to watch the show with malicious intent, and in the sight of the nervous servants around her, she suddenly picked up the incense burner as big as a head on the table and threw it straight at the person who was rushing towards her.
“Pah…”
The man fell down immediately, and the surroundings became dead silent in an instant.
Only Xiao Tu was left with a lingering fear and said in shock, "Ah, my eyes, I almost went blind~"
The space suddenly became even more silent.
A moment later, the hiding people rushed over.
They first glanced anxiously at the man who had been knocked unconscious, then immediately shouted angrily, "Well, Xiao Tu, you are dead today. How dare you openly attack Fourth Brother?"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Tu's reaction was even greater than hers, "What, this ugly thing is actually your brother?" He said with a look of disbelief.
Yu Huaijin felt humiliated and added one.
Yu Huaixiu felt humiliated and added two.
Among the crowd, some people even lowered their heads secretly and wanted to laugh.
The two of them turned red in anger when they saw this.
Xiao Tu pouted. She was startled, but she still had the nerve to be angry.
Her expression was too obvious, and Yu Huaixiu jumped up and said angrily, "Xiao Tu, you are so presumptuous."
Xiao Tu rolled her eyes and said, "I think you are the ones who are being presumptuous."
The two of them stared at each other, "You, what did you say?"
Xiao Tu leaned back on the soft couch and repeated slowly, "I said, you are being presumptuous."
The two were in disbelief. "How dare you speak to us like that? We are princesses?"
Xiaotu grinned, "I am the princess."
They both said, “…”
The two of them were so angry that their faces turned blue.
It took a while for his blood pressure to drop, and he continued, almost spitting anger, "Xiao Tu, no matter what, you are at fault for severely injuring Fourth Brother for no reason. According to family rules, you should be flogged eighty times. Come, go get my mother."
