Chapter 279: The Lady of the Marquisate vs. the Younger Prince 22
Jing Yu didn't dare to resist even though his aunt grabbed his ears. He quietly defended himself, "I didn't! I didn't say anything! I didn't make Huan'er unhappy. I was just trying to make Huan'er happy."
The princess snorted coldly, patted Jing Yu on the head and scolded: "Can you call me Huan'er? You have no respect for your elders. I will believe you for once, but you better not lie to me."
Princess Kang Le burst into tears, "Why is Sister Huan leaving? Is Le Le not smart enough? Is Le Le not studying well? Le Le will study harder, please don't leave, okay?"
Ji Yunhuan did not expect Princess Kang Le to react so strongly. Princess Kang Le was a very good student and extremely intelligent. She basically had a photographic memory. She felt that she should find a few better teachers to teach Princess Kang Le.
Princess Kang Le hugged Ji Yunhuan's waist and sniffed pitifully, "No! I want Sister Huan to teach me!"
Ji Yunhuan touched Princess Kangle's head and coaxed her gently, "You are a princess. You can't always follow a half-baked teacher like me to learn to read and write. You have a lot to learn. You are already sensible. You can't keep throwing a tantrum like a child and ignore other teachers."
Princess Kangle uttered an aggrieved "hmm". She understood the reason, but she just held Ji Yunhuan tightly and refused to let go.
Ji Yunhuan was somewhat helpless, and looked at the eldest princess next to her, "After all, I am the wife of the Marquis's Mansion. It is not right for me to run out like this every day. The eldest princess's mansion already has many gentlemen, so there is no need to use me."
Jing Yu's face darkened when he heard this. "Could it be that Liang Wanzhou is still stopping you from leaving the house? What right does he have to stop you?"
Liang Wanzhou really didn't like her going out. She came to the Princess's Mansion under the pretext of being there, but actually spent most of her time taking care of her own business. She only went to the Fuguang Temple to worship Buddha occasionally because she was familiar with the abbot there.
She did not return to the Marquis' Mansion all day, and when she did, she went to sleep in the east wing. Liang Yunye was guarding outside, so Liang Wanzhou had no chance to ask her for money, so he was naturally very dissatisfied.
Ji Yunhuan lowered her head, looking very depressed. "The Marquis is my husband, so he can naturally take care of me. This month I have been doing this for the sake of the eldest princess. Otherwise, how could I be so happy every day? I am so happy that I almost forget that I am already married."
The eldest princess was very distressed. She had lived a happy life after marriage because she was a royal princess. After her husband died, she still lived in the eldest princess's mansion. But an ordinary woman, no matter how noble her family background was, would still have to suffer from her husband's family after marriage.
If the husband dies, ordinary people can still remarry for a living. There are more men than women in Jingguo, and the law also encourages women to remarry. However, noble ladies from aristocratic families can basically only live in seclusion for the rest of their lives just to maintain a good reputation for loyalty.
Princess Kang Le blinked her watery eyes, and before she had even wiped away her tears, she patted Ji Yunhuan on the back and soothed her, "Don't be afraid, Sister Huan. Lele will protect you!"
The princess snorted coldly, "I forced you to stay in the Princess's Mansion. If Marquis Xuanwu has any objections, let him come to the Princess's Mansion. I'm afraid he doesn't have the courage to do so!"
Ji Yunhuan thanked the princess and never mentioned resignation again.
Since the princess is willing to help her, she is not a pedantic person, so why should she reject the princess' kindness? She is really happy that she doesn't have to face Liang Wanzhou's face in the Marquis' Mansion!
After everyone finished lunch, Ji Yunhuan stood up to say goodbye. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Princess's Mansion, Shiqi ran over in a hurry, breathlessly saying:
"Miss, something bad has happened. The old lady got the news from somewhere and found out that Linglong Pavilion is your property. She is causing trouble in Linglong Pavilion and many guests have been scared away. Please think of a solution quickly."
After Shiqi's body recovered, Ji Yunhuan sent Shiqi out of the Marquis' Mansion. Now Shiqi helps her manage several shops.
Linglong Pavilion has the best location and the largest area. It mainly sells women's head jewelry and rouge and powder. The business is booming. There are many treasures in the pavilion, most of which are valuable. The old lady is quite good at choosing a location.
In fact, this matter is easy to handle. As long as she doesn't show up, she will refuse to admit it and no one will know that Linglong Pavilion is her property.
The old lady of the Xuanwu Marquis's Mansion is making a scene in Linglong Pavilion and disrupting the business. Just ask the shop assistants to kick the old lady out. If that doesn't work, call the police. If the situation gets out of hand, the Xuanwu Marquis's Mansion will be embarrassed.
Liang Wanzhou has no real power, and he cannot reach into the shops, so there is nothing to worry about if he makes a fuss.
Ji Yunhuan caught a glimpse of a piece of clothes behind the door. Jing Yu was really following her closely. As soon as she came out, Jing Yu arrived right after her.
Ji Yunhuan suddenly changed her mind. Tolerance was only a bad option. If she had the third prince as her backer, no one would dare to touch her shop and she could save a lot of trouble.
"Get in, I'll go take a look," Ji Yunhuan took Shiqin and Shiqi into the carriage and headed towards Linglong Pavilion.
Jing Yu came out from behind the door, his fists clenched involuntarily. He wanted to punch the wall to vent his anger, but he held back the moment he raised his hand.
If Sister Huan saw the wound on his hands, she would complain that he did not take good care of himself. He should be calmer and stronger so that Sister Huan would trust him more.
Sister Huan clearly saw him just now, but she still left. In Sister Huan's heart, he is still the same child as before, and not a man worthy of relying on at all!
"Your Highness, are we going back to the palace?" Seeing that the Third Prince kept his head down and didn't say anything, and didn't get on the carriage, the guards waiting at the door reminded him, "You promised to go to the palace to see the Queen today."
Jing Yu no longer had the mind to enter the palace. His mind was full of Ji Yunhuan!
The Xuanwu Marquis Mansion is really going too far. An ignorant old woman, taking the title of elder, dares to blatantly snatch Sister Huan's dowry. Looking around the entire capital, there is no such unruly family!
The old lady of the Marquis's Mansion is notoriously rude and aggressive. Sister Huan is a woman of elegant character, gentle and demure. How can she be a match for that vicious old woman?
Jing Yu couldn't say that he had come to Linglong Pavilion specifically to support Ji Yunhuan. If it got out, it would be bad for Sister Huan's reputation. He got on the carriage and ordered:
"Let's go to Penglai Restaurant first. Mother likes the cakes there. I will bring some back to her."
Ji Yunhuan arrived at Linglong Pavilion very quickly.
The entrance to Linglong Pavilion was in a mess. A row of blue and white porcelain vases placed at the entrance were smashed to pieces, and the bright rouge color was scattered all over the ground, revealing a faint floral scent.
There were several tall and strong men standing at the door, with broad waists, big arms and full beards. No matter how good their martial arts skills were, they were very intimidating just standing there.
Shiqin was shocked and didn't dare to let the lady get off the carriage. "Why don't we go back to the mansion and invite the second master. The second master is brave and can at least protect the lady's safety."
Ji Yunhuan shook his head. "No need. It won't be of any use even if he comes."
She believed that Liang Yunye could defeat these people and drive the old lady out of Linglong Pavilion, but this was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. Liang Yunye was just a warrior and could not intimidate people with evil intentions.
In this capital city, just being able to fight is not enough, what she needs is power! If she doesn't have power, then she can borrow the power of others!
