Chapter 283: The Lady of the Marquisate vs. the Younger Prince 26
Jing Yu's gaze was too intense, entangled in her eyes as if it was real. Ji Yunhuan was a little overwhelmed, and slightly turned away her eyes, whispering: "I'm fine."
When Shiqin saw the third prince coming, she stepped aside tactfully. She vaguely sensed the eldest lady's thoughts, and that the eldest lady also liked the third prince.
She wished that the eldest daughter would leave the Marquis' Mansion immediately, but even if the eldest daughter could divorce despite numerous difficulties, it would be unlikely for the Third Prince to marry her. No prince in the Kingdom of Jing would marry a divorced woman.
Not to mention the princes, even aristocratic families with a little status would not marry a divorced woman. However, many men remarried after their wife died, and there were also some who divorced their wives and married another.
The world is such that the Third Prince will get married one day. Shiqin only hopes that day will come later so that the eldest lady can be sad later.
Jing Yu protected Ji Yunhuan behind him, staring coldly at the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion with a look of disdain on his face, "Linglong Pavilion is not for sale, get out of here, don't dirty the land here."
Jing Yu was not dressed fancy, nor did he have any accessories that indicated his royal status. He had a young face and looked like a spoiled young man from aristocratic family.
The old lady looked at Jing Yu from above, then suddenly grinned and said loudly, "Who are you? Are you Ji Yunhuan's lover? I said she was always running out, and it turns out she was meeting her lover in secret."
"Tsk tsk tsk ~ The world is really going downhill. Adulterers and adulterers are so rampant nowadays that they even dare to do it in broad daylight...ah!"
Jing Yu raised his hand and slapped the old lady!
He has no psychological burden of not beating the elderly or women. He will not let go of anyone who dares to bully Ji Yunhuan, regardless of gender, age or status.
No matter how gentle and generous Jing Yu is, he grew up in the palace. The influence of power on a person is invisible. When he is angry, he is very quiet, quite like the queen. He has an imposing aura, but his face is calm and his tone is light and casual.
"What a noise! Miss Ji's marriage into the Xuanwu Marquis's residence is a blessing you have earned in eight lifetimes. What qualifications do you have to point fingers at her?"
"The old marquis has been a soldier all his life, and has made great achievements in battle. How could he marry an ignorant and stupid woman like you? The decline of the marquisate is due to you."
Boss Qian's eyes were rolling around. He was very good at judging people and had a premonition that he must have offended an important person this time, so he immediately snatched the cash box back from the old lady's hand.
"I was almost cheated by you just now. You don't have the house deed or land deed, so why should I trust you? Fortunately, this young master interrupted me. Now I have come to my senses. I can't give you this money!"
Boss Qian bowed and nodded to Jing Yu, trying his best to distance himself from the matter. "I sincerely want to buy the shop, and I have no intention of forcing Miss Ji. Since Miss Ji doesn't want to, then forget it."
The old lady's face was swollen and blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth. Before she could recover from the pain, her money was taken away.
She had never attended a palace banquet, so naturally she didn't know the Third Prince. She just thought he was some rich young man who had come out to support Ji Yunhuan without knowing what was good for him.
Ji Yunhuan is already a wife, but she is still attracting other men outside. If she doesn't keep a close eye on her son, her son will be cuckolded.
The old lady became angrier and angrier, and yelled at the thugs at the door: "You're just going to stand there and watch? You don't do anything and you still want to get paid? There's no such thing as an easy thing in the world!"
"If you don't deal with this adulterer today, you won't get the money. Arrest this pair of bastards and bring them to the Marquis' Mansion to deal with them slowly."
The thugs in the Fugui Casino are very bold. They frame people and set up schemes to make people lose their fortunes and even their families. It is common for them to do so.
No matter what kind of trouble they caused, as long as they could get money in the end, the people above them would naturally settle all the problems, and the Fugui Casino would continue to be prosperous.
The thugs exchanged glances with each other, thinking that this was a good deal, and were ready to take action.
Ji Yunhuan hid behind Jing Yu, looking frightened. She gently tugged at Jing Yu's sleeve and whispered:
"Your Highness, please leave quickly. You are a prince, you shouldn't get entangled with these rogues and lose your dignity and reputation. The old lady just wants money. At worst, I don't want this shop anymore. Let her do whatever she wants."
Ji Yunhuan's tears fell one by one, and Jing Yu's heart was broken. He really wanted to hold Ji Yunhuan in his arms, wipe her tears, and make her smile, but with so many people watching around, he didn't even dare to touch Ji Yunhuan.
Gossip can melt metal, and constant criticism can destroy a person. He cannot ruin Ji Yunhuan's life for his own selfish desires.
Jing Yu kicked a thug away and managed to comfort Ji Yunhuan, "You don't have to persuade me anymore. Since I saw it, I can't just sit there and watch. You helped me a lot in the past, and it's time for me to help you this time. Sister Huan, you have to believe me!"
As soon as Jing Yu finished speaking, a team of royal guards rushed over. Those thugs were no match for the royal guards and were taken down in the first encounter.
The chief of the imperial guards knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together and said, "Your subordinate pays respect to His Highness the Third Prince. May Your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
The royal guards were clad in golden armor, holding golden dragon spears, and had tokens on their waists that allowed them to enter and leave the palace at will. This kind of aura was something that not everyone could possess.
The one being protected by the royal guards is naturally the prince.
Boss Qian's knees weakened, and he knelt down with a thud, shouting, "Long live His Highness! I was blind and didn't expect to see the prince in my lifetime. I am so ashamed of myself."
Boss Qian held the cash box in front of the Third Prince and said anxiously, "This is just a small gift, not a token of respect. I hope the Third Prince will accept it and forgive my sins."
Jing Yu naturally looked down on this little bit of gold and silver, but the boss was quite sensible about the current situation. He tilted his head to glance at Ji Yunhuan beside him and said with a smile: "You offended Boss Ji, not me."
Boss Qian immediately changed direction and begged Ji Yunhuan to accept the money. "I have offended Boss Ji before. Please accept it. This is my compensation to you."
"I was blinded by your greed and copied your tricks to make dirty money. I also intercepted customers at the door of your store and hired people to cause trouble at Linglong Pavilion, saying that the headdresses you sold were sold out in two days. I also spread rumors that your rouge was poisonous. It's all my fault. From now on, I will never do such unscrupulous things again!"
Ji Yunhuan was so angry that she almost laughed. She vaguely guessed that someone was behind the scenes, but her competitors were not limited to Boss Qian, and she had no evidence to prove that it was Boss Qian who did it, so she could only suffer in silence.
This Boss Qian is really a talented person. On the surface, he just copied her tricks, but he did a lot of bad things behind her back!
Ji Yunhuan pushed the cash box back and said in a very friendly manner: "These are just trivial matters. How can I take the money from Boss Qian for nothing? I still have to give money to Boss Qian."
Boss Qian didn't react for a moment and refused again and again, "How dare I accept money from Boss Ji? I'll be very grateful if Boss Ji doesn't blame me."
Ji Yun laughed, "If you don't accept money, how can I buy your Treasure Pavilion? I have long felt that the shop of Linglong Pavilion is not big enough, and there is no place to sell the clothes made by the embroiderers. Once the Treasure Pavilion is renovated, there will be enough space."
"I sincerely want to buy the shop. I have no intention of forcing Mr. Qian. Are you willing to sell it?"
