Chapter 284: The Lady of the Marquisate vs. the Younger Prince 27
How could Boss Qian dare not refuse? The Third Prince was watching him from the side, and a group of royal guards were eyeing him covetously. If he dared to say no, he didn't know if he could return safely today.
"Yes, yes. Boss Ji wants to buy Treasure Pavilion. It is a blessing for Treasure Pavilion. I will go back and get the title deed and land deeds right away."
As soon as Jing Yu gave a look, two royal guards stood up immediately, staring at Boss Qian from the left and right.
Boss Qian said with a sad face, "Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to deceive His Highness the Third Prince, so I won't bother you two warriors to follow me."
The captain of the personal guard has followed the Third Prince for many years, but this is the first time he has seen the Third Prince do such a thing of "bullying others by taking advantage of his power".
In the past, they were as low-key as they could be when going out. His Highness made friends with all kinds of people and could get along with anyone. At first glance, he didn't look like a prince at all.
Today, His Highness specially asked them to reveal their identities, making it very fancy. The chief guard was a little uncomfortable. He coughed and said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense. What if no one follows you?"
Boss Qian really planned to run away. His backer was a second-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue, who was in charge of household registration, land, and commercial taxes in the capital. It was impossible for the Third Prince to keep an eye on him all the time. After avoiding this storm, he could still go out and do business.
Now that he couldn't run away, Boss Qian pretended to be honest and said dejectedly, "Don't worry, sir. The land deeds and house deeds are in the Treasure Pavilion. I can't run away. I will go get them and give them to Boss Ji immediately."
Just as Ji Yunhuan was about to say something, Jing Yu spoke first, "Don't try to fool me. What's the use of just taking it? Your name is on the title deed. Go to the Household Registration Department and transfer it to Boss Ji's name immediately."
Boss Qian was shocked. The Third Prince had lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he had never heard of the princes going to court to discuss matters. It was amazing that the Third Prince was so clear about such trivial matters. It was really hard to fool him.
He had connections in the Household Registration Department, and he originally wanted to delay it until the Third Prince left, so that the matter would be over and the Treasure Pavilion would still be his.
"Your Highness, you don't know that transferring ownership is not that simple. It requires..."
Jing Yu said casually, "Both parties need to be present. The deed can be signed now. It's not a big deal. Just pick one of the Linglong Pavilion's managers to go with you. With my personal guard accompanying you, I'm sure the people in the household registration department won't dare to cheat and it will be done quickly."
"Today, I want to see the new house deed and land deeds delivered to Boss Ji. If not, I will hold you responsible!"
Ji Yunhuan gave the private seal to Shiqi and asked Shiqi to go with Boss Qian.
Shiqi was extremely excited and said loudly, "Don't worry, Miss. This fat guy can't fool me. I know he has acquaintances in the household registration department. If he dares to play tricks, I won't let him off!"
Without the Treasure Pavilion causing trouble, Linglong Pavilion's business will surely be more prosperous in the future!
The last glimmer of hope in Boss Qian's heart was shattered. If it was any other manager, he could still find ways to fool her, but this little girl was very aggressive and would not be persuaded by any persuasion. Now she had the support of the royal guards. He really could not protect the Treasure Pavilion.
Boss Qian sighed and left with a sad face.
The servants in Linglong Pavilion threw out the two maids from the Xuanwu Marquis's Mansion.
As soon as the Third Prince arrived, the royal guards stood in Linglong Pavilion. The two maids were so frightened that they dared not resist at all. The guys successfully took back the gold and silver jewelry, and now everything was finally cleaned up.
The two maids knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy tremblingly. They were just helping the old lady to grab the lady's dowry, so how did they end up offending the third prince?
The old lady had an imperial decree and could not be easily beaten or killed, but for the third prince, it was as easy for him to crush them to death as it was for him to crush an ant.
They burst into tears and fell to Ji Yunhuan's feet, begging, "Madam, please spare our lives! We were just following orders. It was the old lady who asked us to rob, and we had no choice. Madam, you are kind and merciful, please let us go."
Shiqin stood in front of Ji Yunhuan and kicked the nanny in disgust, "Get out of here! Madam is kind and compassionate, and she allowed you to become more rampant. The old lady is the master of the mansion, but Madam is not? Madam asked you to stop, why didn't you obey Madam's orders?"
"It's obviously you who are greedy and want to seize the lady's dowry. You usually rely on your status as the old lady's servants to take away so many of her good things. You two bullied her and even dared to attack her in the mansion. Now you know how to beg for mercy? What were you doing before?"
Jing Yu was furious when he heard this. It was really despicable that the servants of Xuanwu Marquis' Mansion could bully Sister Huan!
"You are making so much noise. Drag him away! Clean him up and send him to the Xuanwu Marquis's residence. Let the servants in the residence see what happens to a servant who bullies his master!"
The royal guards responded and immediately dragged the two maids away.
Ji Yunhuan stared at Jing Yu's profile. Jing Yu now looked more and more majestic like a prince, with sharp eyes and a calm demeanor. He could take someone's life with ease.
She gave Jing Yu the ability to read minds. She didn't know what Jing Yu heard in the palace. Since ancient times, human hearts have been the darkest and most terrifying, let alone the heart of an emperor.
The emperor did not love Jing Yu as much as he seemed. In his previous life, the second prince was able to overthrow Jing Yu, and he must have had the emperor’s support behind him.
The truth is always bloody, enough to make Jing Yu lose all his innocence and grow up quickly. Only in this way can he face the bloody struggle of the royal family and have a chance to win!
Jing Yu turned his head to look at Ji Yunhuan. The murderous intent in his eyes instantly faded away, revealing a sunny and warm smile.
"Don't be afraid. The Ji family is strict in governance and has a clean family tradition. I'm sure there won't be servants who bully their master. You are kind-hearted and treat people sincerely. You will definitely not be able to deal with these rascally servants. This time, I'll kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. They won't dare to bully you again in the future."
"You should have told me earlier that you are not having a good time in the mansion. As the eldest daughter of the Ji family, you should not suffer such grievances. Don't worry, I will protect you in the future."
Ji Yunhuan was not afraid at all, instead he felt very happy!
In her previous life, she was truly a kind-hearted and gentle person, but she was bullied to death by the Xuanwu Marquis' Mansion. Jing Yu was also a kind-hearted and loving prince, but he was framed by the second prince and sentenced to death by the emperor. The queen was also sent to the cold palace and died in depression.
She would not go down the same old path as in her previous life, nor would she let Jing Yu make the same mistake.
Ji Yunhuan bowed to Jing Yu and lowered his head with a shy smile, "I'm not afraid. Thank you for your help, Your Highness. I am very grateful."
Jing Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Sister Huan had taught him the words of the sages in the past, and he knew that Sister Huan was a very gentle and kind person. He was also afraid that Sister Huan would think he was too cruel.
He didn't care what the world thought, he was only worried that he was no longer the A Yu in Sister Huan's heart.
Jing Yu reached out and helped Ji Yunhuan. The moment their eyes met, he seemed to see deep affection in Sister Huan's eyes. Jing Yu's heart beat violently and he spoke incoherently:
"We... we don't need to thank each other. I... I am happy to protect you."
