Chapter 50: Open your mouth again?
"If you're ruthless, fifteen taels is fifteen taels."
"Fifteen taels are gone. You just talked back to me, and now I only have thirteen taels left."
Bu Ruo looked furious: "Open your mouth again? If you open your mouth again, there will only be ten taels left."
Jin Congcong: ...
Bier couldn't help laughing when she saw Jin Congcong, who dared not say anything but stare at her own lady.
"Sure enough, from childhood to adulthood, only the young lady can control Mr. Jin. No wonder the mountain master sent Mr. Jin to the young lady's side."
Jin Congcong: I want to cry, but I dare not! My father is also unreliable. He sends me around everywhere and doesn’t care whether I live or die.
Let’s take the owner of the nameless mountain as an example. With such a huge property, who would be so kind as to think that his father would only give his only son two taels of silver every month?
"Here it comes, the prison van is coming."
Cen Nan had been standing at the window paying attention to the situation below. When he saw the prison van coming from a distance, he hurriedly called out.
"Let me see~ Let me see~"
Jin Congcong pushed everyone aside and stood by the window, listening to the shouting and cursing below: "Wow~ The people are really enthusiastic. Look at Ji Pei, there's not a single good spot on him anymore."
"If it weren't for this little genius doctor who loves cleanliness, I would have gone down and tickled him a couple of times to vent my anger."
"Hey? Ruo'er, look quickly. Isn't that the Prime Minister's daughter on the second floor across from us? The one we just said likes the prince?"
When Cen Nan heard this, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. He wanted to worship Bu Ruo, the future mistress who could acquire three gold mines with just one move, but he absolutely could not let the daughter of the prime minister interfere with his relationship.
"County Lady, I follow the prince every day. I swear on my life that the prince has been chaste since childhood and has never had any involvement with other women."
"The Zhan Prince's Mansion is full of men, even the cooks are men. Apart from a few of us, there are not even any stray cats or dogs around the prince."
"Besides, the prince has been poisoned for many years. Even if he wants to, he doesn't have the strength."
Xiao Yulan: ...
"I don't have that intention."
"Yes, yes, yes, the prince doesn't even have that intention. His heart has always been with the county lady."
Xiao Yulan: ...
Bu Ruo looked at the two people's nervous expressions and smiled: "I didn't say anything, why are you two so nervous?"
"If I like someone, I won't let anyone snatch him away unless I die."
"But...given my personality, even if I die, I'll drag him down with me. No one else can hope to get it."
Suddenly, Bu Ruo felt a sharp pain in his head and a picture suddenly flashed in his mind.
A man in black looked at the woman lying in the sea of flowers. Although her face could not be seen, one could still feel the aura of despair emanating from his body.
Slowly, the man leaned over and carefully stroked the woman's face: "Since I can't keep you, then I will go with you. Apart from you, I have nothing else in this world that I am attached to."
"If there is an afterlife, no matter how many thousands or even tens of thousands of years pass, I will definitely find you and keep you firmly by my side. No one can separate us."
"If I could do it again, I would never listen to you again. I would protect you even if I had to kill all those bastards in the Nine Heavens. I would bear all the retribution and punishment alone and would not let them hurt you in the slightest."
"Ruo'er? Are you listening, Ruo'er?"
Bu Ruo came to his senses and slapped away the hand that was waving in front of him: "What's wrong?"
Jin Congcong breathed a sigh of relief: "What's wrong with me? I was just asking you what's wrong, and you suddenly stopped moving while we were talking. You didn't even know I was taking your pulse. I was so scared that I thought you were possessed by something."
Bu Ruo glared at him and said, "Nothing in this world dares to touch me."
"By the way, what did you ask me to do?"
Jin Congcong slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, yes, Ji Pei is going to be beheaded. I asked you to go and see it."
Bu Ruo stood up and walked to the window...
"You're just going to let me see this?"
Seeing Jin Congcong's embarrassed look, Cen Nan hurried to smooth things over.
"This is how the beheading at Caishikou is done. Because it's so bloody, it's surrounded by cloth. You can't actually see the moment of beheading; you can only see a shadow at best."
"But please rest assured, County Lady. This beheading was ordered by the Emperor himself, and there are the Prince's men watching over it. There will definitely be no substitution."
Bu Ruo was a little disappointed. She had never seen what beheading looked like.
Seeing her lost expression, Xiao Yulan smiled and said, "The wedding is in ten days. Ruo'er's wedding dress has been made. I had it delivered to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion before I left. If you are not satisfied with anything, please ask the embroiderer to make changes."
Cen Nan hurriedly tried to help his prince to make his presence felt: "You may not know, but this wedding dress was embroidered by Cheng Xiu Niang, whom the prince had specially hired from Jiangnan at great expense. Cheng Xiu Niang's needlework skills are among the best in the Three Kingdoms, not to mention the Great Zhou Dynasty. She embroidered the wedding dress of the late queen."
Bu Ruo raised her beautiful eyebrows. She knew Cheng Xiu Niang. It was said that she had not come out for many years. She didn't expect that Xiao Yu Lan could actually invite her.
Jin Congcong didn't know what he was thinking of. He secretly approached Cen Nan and whispered in a voice that no one else could hear: "Um... Cen Nan, you may have heard that my Ruo'er has some minor problems."
"After she gets married, if she offends you or does something inappropriate, you have to be more tolerant and give in to her."
Cen Nan didn't react: "The county lady has...a minor problem?"
Jin Congcong said mysteriously, "My Ruo'er has been a little upset because of something going on at home. Sometimes she might be a little bit mentally unstable, like cursing or beating people up. She's just... pretty irritable."
Cen Nan looked as if he had suddenly realized something: "So it was you, Little Divine Doctor Jin, who spread the rumor that the county lady had mental problems."
Jin Congcong quickly covered Cen Nan's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't spread that, it was the servants in the mansion who spread it, it has nothing to do with me, not at all."
Bu Ruo clenched his fists until they crackled. "Our young genius doctor Jin might have too much energy. He should be able to run for two hours tonight."
Jin Congcong: ...
"Your Majesty, are you in there?"
Just when Jin Congcong was about to resist, a delicate voice suddenly came from the door.
"Miss, it's Lin Rou."
Bu Ruo looked towards the teahouse opposite, and sure enough, there was no trace of Lin Rou in the window opposite.
"My Lord, I'm looking for you."
Seeing Bu Ruo looking like she was enjoying the fun, Xiao Yulan sighed, "Cen Nan, open the door."
Cen Nan's eyes widened: "Your Majesty, you mean... open the door?"
"Yes, open the door and let her in."
Cen Nan:......
Your Highness, you are really courting death. The county lady already knew that the young lady from the Lin family admired you, yet you let her in without being too cautious.
You've been in the other courtyard for so many years and you've never opened the door to her...
If this angers the county lady, and she doesn't treat you, you'll just die...
