Chapter 160 Arriving in the Capital
Su Jiu is tall and strong, with a dashing manner. Jiang Yi likes him very much, but he talks too much.
He talked about everything from heaven to earth, from the Buddhist temple in the mountains to the secret stories of the wealthy families in the capital.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but prick up his ears.
"Prince Su's daughter, Princess Jiacheng, didn't marry until she was twenty. Within three years, her husband died at the hands of bandits, so Princess Jiacheng moved back to the prince's palace. Later, the Prince of Qin opened another palace for the princess to live in."
"It's normal for a princess to move out of the palace at her age, but rumors circulated that Princess Jiacheng was having an affair with Prince Su, and the princess didn't want to, so she was forced to move out. Since then, the princess has become a completely different person, not caring about what others think. She openly keeps a gigolo, and lives a more comfortable life than even a prince like me."
Oh my god.
Jiang Yi covered his mouth. He didn't expect that there would be such a strange person in the capital.
"Then her husband's death..."
Su Jiu responded with a meaningful look.
Jiang Yi was shocked. She thought that women in the world must obey their husbands and fulfill their duties. She never thought that there were women who disregarded human ethics and indulged themselves.
If the husband had not died tragically because of this woman, she would definitely have made friends with her.
Su Jiu also revealed some secrets of the wealthy families, including that Princess Jiacheng and Prince Su were not biological parents, and that Princess Jiacheng was the mistress of a charming widow who had once amazed the capital and married Prince Su as a concubine.
Shen Yu saw two heads getting closer and closer from the corner of his eye. He finally lost his patience and stood up suddenly, his handsome face cold and unhappy: "Miss Jiang, we should go."
"Hey, where are you two going?"
Su Ji quickly stood up. He had finally met such a fairy-like person, who was also so interesting. He didn't want to separate from her at all.
Shen Yu's eyes were dull, she only felt that he was noisy, and she refused coldly: "It has nothing to do with you."
Su Jiu's eyes were cunning and smart, and he chuckled. How could he not hear the rejection of him?
He came close to Jiang Yi and said, "Miss Jiang, let's go to the capital together."
"The capital is so much fun. I can still go with you all the way. I'll tell you about some interesting girls along the way."
Su Jiu smiled and looked harmless.
Chen Yu's face immediately changed and turned ashen. He looked at Jiang Yi without saying a word.
How dare she agree!
Jiang Yi blinked, and the unhappiness in his heart suddenly dissipated.
She is not stupid. Shen Yu doesn't like to go the same way with Su Jiu. She is happy when Shen Yu is unhappy.
Besides, Su Jiu’s stories are interesting, and with him around, the boring journey is no longer boring.
"OK."
She agreed immediately.
Su Jiu was naturally happy, but as for the other man...
Shen Yu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his dark and deep eyes seemed to want to swallow her and Su Jiu beside her in one bite.
Su Ji trembled and shouted in his heart that something was wrong!
It must be safe to stay with Miss Jiang at this time.
Jiang Yi was already in a good mood and walked ahead with a swagger.
Su Jiu waved his sleeves and said, "Miss Jiang, wait for me."
Su Jiu trotted after him.
Chen Yu watched helplessly as the man with a face as thick as lard approached Jiang Yi shamelessly, his fists clenched at his sides and his eyes narrowed dangerously.
They walked for two days and came to a place called Ma Town, where they chose to take a short rest in a teahouse.
The teahouse is a little run-down, but it is the only one within a few miles.
"How long is it from here to the capital?"
Chen Yu poured the tea brought by the waiter into the bowl. There was fine sand in the bowl. He frowned in disgust, and a stern and murderous look spread across his stern face.
The waiter was terrified: "Sorry, sir, I will change it for you right away."
Although Jiang Yi was talking to Su Jiu, he noticed the movement from the waiter's side out of the corner of his eye.
She waved her hand: "It's okay, you can go down."
The waiter left quickly.
"Thank you, sir."
"Mr. Shen, why are you making things difficult for a waiter?"
Su Ji interrupted at the right time, interrupting the conversation between Jiang Yi and Shen Yu intentionally or unintentionally.
"Yeah, it's not easy for me either."
Jiang Yi was about to say something after he finished speaking when Su Jiu said, "We've already arrived in Ma Town. Calculating the days, if we hurry, we can reach the capital in one day."
Jiang Yi's heart was pulled away again.
Chen Yu watched her turn back and get together with the shameless man, feeling unhappy and anxious.
When did I ever make things difficult for the waiter?
"So soon, what's fun in the capital?"
"There are so many fun things to do."
As Su Ji spoke, he broke a pomegranate. It was impossible for such a small shop to have fruits like pomegranates. He brought these with him.
Jiang Yi liked to eat it but found it troublesome, so Su Jiu took the initiative to peel it for her, filling up the small bowl with grains one by one.
Jiang Yi ate happily, spitting the fruit cores casually on the table, without showing any shyness of a woman. But he liked such women, free and easy and generous. How many such women can be found in the world?
"When we get to the capital, I'll take you to all the fun and delicious places!"
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
Facts have proved that Su Jiu is a man of his words. As soon as he arrived in the capital, he took her to visit a brothel, allowing Jiang Yi to experience firsthand what real excitement is.
If Chen Yu hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to stay and watch the love affair between the courtesan and a certain young man.
When she was pulled out by Shen Yu, she was still in a trance.
"The capital city is indeed the capital city, it is so prosperous."
Su Jiu drank two sips of flower wine and was in high spirits: "Today is the Lantern Festival. Come on, I'll take you to release lanterns."
Lanterns are great. She has never let go of a lantern in her life.
"Chen Yu, what are you pulling me for again?"
Jiang Yi felt that Chen Yu, oh no, this demon, was really a blockhead, just like a teacher in the human world, who forbade people to do this or that.
She is not a child.
"You're not allowed to go."
Shen Yu pursed her lips and held her tightly.
"We're just going to release lanterns."
Of course he allowed us to light lanterns.
However, he did not allow her to go with Su Jiu. Shen Yu narrowed her eyes, and a gust of cold and murderous wind blew towards her, which woke Su Jiu up.
He looked at Shen Yu, then at Jiang Yi, his eyes rolled, and he said in a bold and daring whisper: "There are so many people releasing lanterns, maybe Master Shen is worried about your safety, otherwise, let's not go?"
Shen Yu was thinking, is he so kind?
Next second.
"Let's go to the palace. I promise it's much more fun than here. There's a Lantern King in the palace. He's almost as big as me, specially crafted by palace technicians. What's so great about the lanterns during the Lantern Festival?"
I knew he had bad intentions.
Chen Yu gritted his teeth and forced out the words: "We are tired from the long journey. I think we should find an inn to rest first. Mr. Su has been out for so long, his family must be very worried. Why don't you go back to visit your family first, and we will visit them another day."
He held Jiang Yi and showed no intention of letting him go.
"The bed in the inn is more comfortable than the one in the palace. I've decided to go to the palace!"
