Chapter 52 Bargain with me?
Shancha's body was twisted black and blue, but she didn't dare to hide because she knew that if she did, the lady would only get angrier and beat her harder.
"Miss, I actually think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is quite good. If you become the Queen in the future, even the Lady of Yun'an County will have to bow to you."
"Besides, it's not certain that Prince Zhan really likes County Lady Yun'an. The County Lady has only been back for a short time, and they have never met before. How could they develop feelings so easily?"
"I think perhaps the War Prince actually has feelings for the young lady, but he's not feeling well and won't live for many days. He's afraid that the young lady will be buried alive with him. The War Prince is saying these things out of pity for the young lady."
Lin Rou had gone mad. When she heard Shan Cha's words, she felt dazed and even stopped torturing him.
"Is that really the case? The War King actually has me in his heart?"
Shancha breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't know, but if I were the War King, I would also be moved to see the young lady visiting the villa every day for several years."
Lin Rou sat on the bed in a daze, mumbling, "Yes, you're right. It must be like this, it must be."
"I am the daughter of the Prime Minister, and I am also known as the most talented woman in Kyoto. Except for my appearance, I am not as good as Bu Ruo in every way."
"I have to let the War King know my heart and my kindness. As long as Bu Ruo disappears from this world, it will be me, and only me, who will marry the War King."
"Three days from now, during the spring search, Prince Zhan and Buruo will also be there. Go and secretly call Li San to come to me. Don't let my father know. After a few spring searches, I will be Prince Zhan's consort."
Shancha walked out of the room trembling, and looked back at her young lady who was sitting on the bed, not knowing what she was thinking. She felt scared. Her young lady... seemed to be crazy.
…
While Lin Rou was making plans, Bi'er was worried and asked Jin Congcong to go to Yanzhi Tower to find Mo Bao to check the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Mo Bao acted quickly, and the next morning Jin Congcong appeared in Bu Ruo's room with medicinal food.
"Ruo'er, drink this bowl of medicinal food and I will tell you about the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Bu Ruo put down the betrothal gift list in her hand and sneered at Jin Congcong, "Bargaining with me? Don't forget who pays your monthly salary, and don't forget who owns Yanzhilou, and who is the master of Yanzhilou."
"I haven't had time to settle accounts with you for taking things from my Yanzhilou property without paying, so who's going to drink this medicinal food?"
Jin Congcong's face choked up, and he coughed lightly, "If you don't want to drink it, then don't drink it. Why are you threatening me? If you don't like medicinal food, that's fine. I'll make you some health-preserving soup later."
Bu Ruo: ...
"Why was the message sent to you?"
Bu Ruo looked at Jin Congcong who was sitting there eating fruit with a puzzled look in his eyes. Unexpectedly, Jin Congcong said angrily: "Why, why else?"
"Yesterday evening, Bi'er sent someone to ask Mo Bao for news about the Prime Minister's Mansion. Mo Bao delivered it before midnight. Because it was too late and he didn't want to disturb your rest, he went straight to my yard and pulled me up to give it to me."
Bu Ruo stretched out his hand: "Bring the news here."
"No, I burned it after reading it. Let me tell you orally. Oh, don't mention it. I'll just show it to you directly next time. I don't know why I've been feeling a bit unlucky lately. Last night I burned a few pages of paper in my room and almost set the house on fire."
Bu Ruo: ...
If I hadn't asked you to do more good deeds recently, you would probably be even more unlucky.
"Mo Bao said that the Prime Minister's Mansion is actually not that bad. Apart from forming cliques and accepting bribes, and Prime Minister Lin wanting to marry the Crown Prince, there's nothing serious going on."
"You and the prince will both go to the Spring Search in three days. Mo Bao asked me to tell you to be careful, because Prime Minister Lin wants Lin Rou to seduce the prince that day, but with the way Lin Rou is infatuated with the prince, she will definitely not do it."
"The War King embarrassed her yesterday. I'm sure she'll vent all her hatred on you and will definitely try every possible way to kill you."
"Also, there's a groom in the Prime Minister's Mansion named Li San. He was once a bandit, but by chance he was rescued by Lin Rou and was arranged to work as a groom in the Prime Minister's Mansion. All the bad things Lin Rou has done over the years were done by Li San."
"And it seems this Li San is connected to some low-class gangsters in the underworld. He uses all sorts of low-class tactics. He's a complete scumbag."
"But this scumbag... has an inexplicable affection for Miss Lin. He protects her silently and hits her wherever she's pointed. Wow, it's really touching."
Bu Ruo couldn't help laughing when she heard Jin Congcong's sarcastic words, and her eyes rolled quickly.
"Ruo'er, Ruo'er, you've always had this expression before doing something bad since you were little. Tell me quickly, what do you want to do?"
Bu Ruo shook her head. "I didn't mean to do anything. Although Lin Rou likes Xiao Yulan and has verbally provoked me, she hasn't actually done anything to harm me until today."
"Well...even though it's about to happen, it hasn't happened yet, so I can't make the first move. Otherwise, wouldn't I be in the wrong and not be a good person?"
Jin Congcong: ...
Aunt, you have never been a good person since you were a child, okay?
Bu Ruo looked at Jin Congcong's mocking eyes and coughed lightly: "But you know I have never been a person who accepts things passively. If Lin Rou really did something to me on Chunsou, I promise to pay it back a hundredfold."
"I heard that Lin Rou is the most talented woman in Kyoto. If she didn't have a special affection for the War King, with her family background and talent, she would be more than qualified to be the Crown Princess."
"What do you think...if Lin Rou is granted marriage as the Crown Princess and reveals her affair with the groom, what will the Crown Prince do?"
Jin Congcong's eyes lit up when he heard Bu Ruo's words: "The previous Crown Princess Ji Yao was killed because she was caught in bed with her own brother. This is already a thorn in the Crown Prince's heart. If the next Crown Princess has a similar experience, the Crown Prince... I'm afraid he will take crazy revenge."
"If it's really as you said, then Lin Rou will definitely not have a good ending."
Bu Ruo nodded: "So if Lin Rou behaves herself and doesn't bother me, then I won't do anything to her. But if she has any inappropriate thoughts, then I will give her a big gift."
Bi'er looked at Jin Congcong's excitement and said with a smile, "Miss, look, I was afraid that Lin Rou would harm you during the Spring Search, but you see, Master Jin... it seems like he can't wait for Lin Rou to come to the Zhenguo Mansion and stab you."
Jin Congcong quickly put away the glint in his eyes: "No, no, I didn't mean that. I'm just afraid that she won't make a move on Chunsou, but will make a move when we're not prepared. That would make us so passive."
"No, no, I have to find a way to provoke Lin Rou. After all, there's no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days."
At this, Jin Congcong stood up and walked out quickly, saying as he walked, "Ruo'er, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. By the way, you have to take me with you to the spring search in three days. I can be your coachman, your servant, or anything else, but you have to take me with you."
