Chapter 292: Marquis Mansion Madam vs. Younger Prince 35
Ji Yun laughed and said, "The Third Prince was busy with other things and left a long time ago. I stayed until now because I wanted to satisfy my appetite."
Zhao Baozhen had no doubts at all, and showed a look of regret, "So he left a long time ago. I was thinking about traveling with His Highness the Third Prince. I waited for him for so long, but he left without telling me."
Zhao Baozhen pouted and was depressed for a short while, but soon became happy again.
She took Ji Yunhuan's arm in a familiar manner and said with a smile: "Forget it, without the Third Prince, it is also very good to be able to follow Sister Ji on the same road. My mother always criticizes me for making some bad friends. If she knew that I made friends with you, she would definitely praise me!"
There were only a few customers left in the Penglai Restaurant. Those coming and going were all waiters busy cleaning up. Ji Yunhuan took Zhao Baozhen down through the passage for ordinary customers, but didn't meet anyone.
Zhao Baozhen was surprised and said, "Sister Ji, I haven't seen you for a while. Why did you change your clothes? Where did you buy your clothes? They look great on you. Let's go shopping together some other day and you can pick out some clothes for me. My mother always says that I have a bad taste. What you pick must be beautiful!"
Shiqin was sweating as she stood nearby. Could it be that Miss Zhao had discovered something and was deliberately testing Madam?
Ji Yunhuan understood Zhao Baozhen's character. She had been spoiled since childhood and had never encountered any hardships in her life, so she developed an innocent and lively personality.
She didn't know that Zhao Baozhen had pursued the Third Prince in this way. In her previous life, she was busy dealing with the concubines in the Marquis' Mansion and had no mood to meddle in other people's affairs.
Later I heard that Miss Zhao married the second prince, but the second prince already had a principal wife, and Miss Zhao was at most a concubine. There must be some reason behind this.
There is no peace in the Second Prince's mansion. The principal wife is very powerful, and all the concubines are suppressed by her and cannot raise their heads. The Second Prince has been married for many years, but he has no son or daughter in the backyard. Before the principal wife gives birth to a child, he will definitely not let other women give birth to children.
In her previous life, she heard that Minister Zhao's hair turned white overnight, so Zhao Baozhen's ending must not be very good. She was afraid that she died in the Second Prince's mansion.
The girl in front of him was lively and lovely, at the age of a flower, and still yearning for a beautiful love. Ji Yunhuan stretched out his hand and pinched Zhao Baozhen's cheek, smiling:
"I got my dress dirty while eating just now, so I changed into something new. This dress is from Linglong Pavilion. I'll take you there some other day. I'll give you whatever you want."
Zhao Baozhen waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no! How can I let Sister Ji spend money? I will be very happy if you take me there. I will buy it for you."
"Eh? Sister Ji, why are your lips so red? It looks so pretty red, and your face looks pretty too. Did you put on some fresh rouge?"
Ji Yunhuan raised her hand and touched her face. She didn't put on any rouge, but the heat on her face wouldn't go away, which made her quite distressed.
"Ahem... it's not rouge, it's just spicy. The spicy chicken is really delicious, so I couldn't help but use more."
Zhao Baozhen was a little envious, "Sister Ji, you are amazing. You can eat anything. I just can't eat spicy food."
Ji Yunhuan took a short detour and sent the excited Zhao Baozhen home first. Mrs. Zhao had been waiting at the door, and when she saw Zhao Baozhen, she started to scold her. Zhao Baozhen lowered her head like a quail, not daring to say a word.
When Mrs. Zhao saw Ji Yunhuan, her eyes lit up and she wanted to take off the bracelet and give it to her on the spot.
"Thanks to Miss Ji, I feel much more at ease with you watching over Zhen'er. Oh, look at my brain, now I should call you Madam Hou. I will definitely visit you someday. Thank you Madam for taking care of Zhen'er."
Ji Yunhuan politely declined Mrs. Zhao's kindness and took Shiqin back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Xuanwu Marquis Mansion.
Two bodies were placed in the yard. No one knew how the royal guards had done it. The faces of the bodies looked peaceful, as if they were asleep, but the two maids were indeed dead.
The servants in the Marquis' Mansion were terrified. Those servants who had relied on the old lady's power to bully the lady and steal her things were even more trembling with fear.
Wu's cheeks were swollen and after applying thick ointment, they became a black mass that looked quite scary.
Ever since she was beaten by Liang Er last time, her health has been much worse than before, but the Marquis's Mansion is in such a difficult situation now, and she does not have the money or time to take care of herself.
Liang Wanzhou came out of the west wing, glanced impatiently at the corpse on the ground, and cursed: "What bad luck! Hurry up and drag them to the mass grave! These two servants angered the Third Prince and caused the Marquis' Mansion to suffer as well. They deserve to die!"
The servants in the mansion felt chilled to their hearts. After all, it was not because of their work for the old lady that the two maids lost their lives. Not only was there no compensation, but the Marquis's Mansion didn't even help to collect the corpses. It was really too cold-hearted.
Wu echoed, "The Marquis is right, why don't you drag him out now! You must be careful with your words and actions when you are outside in the future, and remember not to offend the nobles, otherwise this will be the end!"
The servants nodded their heads in agreement, and the body was covered with a piece of rough linen and dragged away.
Liang Wanzhou was blocked by debt collectors for a whole day and his face was not very good. After he got angry, he felt dizzy and almost fell down.
Wan Niang was wearing a gauze dress, revealing a large area of snow-white skin. She immediately rushed over to support the Marquis, and consoled him in a soft voice, trying to make him happy.
Wu pushed Wan Niang aside and looked at her son with concern, "It's all because of these vixens that pester you. My son wants to achieve great things, and he must not be delayed by them."
Wan Niang screamed, fell to the ground with tears in her eyes, and looked at Wu timidly.
"The Marquis is clearly angry about what happened today. I am just trying to comfort him. What have I done wrong?"
Wu was so angry that she raised her foot to kick Wan Niang, "You are a bastard! You are such a despicable thing! How dare you talk back? This is outrageous! Do you believe me? I will find a human trafficker to sell you right now..."
"Mother!" Liang Wanzhou shouted. He was already full of anger and now he yelled it all out at Wu.
"Wanniang is smart. When she found out that Linglong Pavilion was Ji Yunhuan's property, she ran to tell me and helped me out. But mother, on the other hand, didn't get a penny back and even offended the Third Prince. If it affected my career, would mother be happy?"
Wu was panicked and at a loss. She explained anxiously, "I... I didn't expect the Third Prince to pass by there. I didn't know it would turn out like this. I just wanted to get more money. I..."
"Okay! Mother, you don't need to say any more. There are obviously many ways to solve this problem, but you insist on forcing it. You are so ignorant and rude that you really can't accomplish anything. Just stay at home and recover from your injuries."
Liang Wanzhou helped Wan Niang up and gently touched her face. "It's all thanks to you today. If you hadn't helped to intercede, the people from Fugui Casino wouldn't have left so easily, and they wouldn't have agreed to lend me more money."
"Don't worry, I will protect you. No one can sell you out. Those newcomers can't surpass your status. I still love you the most in my heart."
