Chapter 312: Marquis Mansion Madam vs. Younger Prince 55
Wan Niang took a step back. The Second Master was not very smart and she didn't want to be whipped.
She didn't think the Second Master could protect the Madam. Some things could not be solved by brute force alone.
"Madam, please don't think Wan Niang is nagging. The quarrels in the Marquis' Mansion are just minor ones. Madam, you should be more careful when you are outside. It would be best if you can inform the Third Prince to avoid regrets in the future."
After Wan Niang finished speaking, she bowed to the lady, then turned and left.
This was all she could remind him of. Madam had ruined the Second Prince's plans in the palace. If the Second Prince wanted to deal with Madam, he would naturally not just target her.
She originally thought that her mission was only to alienate the Marquis and his wife, but the Second Prince suddenly gave her a death order, asking her to destroy Ji Yunhuan!
Maybe all this was just her wishful thinking. Even if she completed the master's task, the master would squeeze every last bit of value out of her, and she would never be free!
A chess piece can only be trapped in the chess game until it dies.
But she was unwilling to give up. She didn't want to be controlled by others all her life. She racked her brains to come up with many excuses and tried her best to delay time.
For example, there are many concubines in the Marquis's Mansion, and without the Madam to keep her in check, she would definitely fall out of favor. For example, she ran out of medicine and needed to wait for the next batch of medicine to be delivered.
But the Second Prince would definitely not give up, and she didn't know how long she could delay. Perhaps the Madam would be killed even without her taking any action.
Ji Yunhuan had a very happy New Year's Eve. She didn't even go back to the Marquis' Mansion, but stayed directly at the Penglai Restaurant.
There is actually another floor above the fourth floor. From here, you can see most of the capital city.
There was no curfew on New Year's Eve. The streets were bustling with people. The brilliant lights made the street as bright as day. The Penglai Restaurant was open too, and the three lower floors were filled with people.
The Marquis' Mansion was so poor, but Liang Wanzhou came to Penglai Restaurant as usual to have fun, with a woman from some brothel by his side. The owner of the Fugui Casino also followed him, calling him "Marquis" all the time, and was particularly enthusiastic.
They booked a private room on the second floor. Jing Yu had already ordered people to keep an eye on it. Ji Yunhuan knew what Liang Wanzhou was planning without even having to listen to Chen Peng's report.
Liang Wanzhou was desperate for money, and when someone offered him a way, he naturally would not let go of this good opportunity.
"Tsk~ Liang Wanzhou is really rude. The old marquis is devoted to defending his country, but how could he raise such a shameless thing! Go down, don't come up to disturb us if you have nothing to do."
Chen Peng didn't understand why His Highness didn't stay in the palace to accompany the Queen on New Year's Eve, but instead came to Penglai Restaurant to accompany Miss Ji?
What business is so important that we have to discuss it on New Year's Eve?
I don't know how His Highness fooled the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother didn't even stop His Highness. Instead, she smiled and sent His Highness out of the palace.
"Your Highness, when will you return? There are many people on the street today, so I should prepare early."
"Get lost!" Jing Yu waved his hand and a gust of wind closed the door. "If you keep saying that, I won't take you out of the palace next time."
Chen Peng was frustrated, and he didn't know how he had offended the Third Prince. Wasn't it good enough that he had done his duty? Why did the Third Prince always scold him for no reason recently?
Shiqin did not go up to the attic, but stayed in the private room on the fourth floor drinking tea and eating melon seeds. This private room was reserved for the lady, but most of the time she was the only one there, and the lady was always with the Third Prince.
Hearing Chen Peng's complaints, Shiqin rolled her eyes and said, "How can someone be as stupid as you? Your only remaining virtue is loyalty. I don't know what the Third Prince wants by keeping you by his side."
Chen Peng sat opposite Shiqin, respectfully poured her a cup of tea, and said with a bitter face: "Sister, please teach me. Alas! The Third Prince has deducted my monthly salary until next year. If this continues, I will be left with nothing."
Shiqin laughed and said, "I have received many rewards from His Highness recently. You blockhead, when the Third Prince is with my young lady in the future, don't disturb her, and His Highness will naturally not scold you."
Chen Peng still didn't understand, "But I'm here to do serious business. I'm not going there to disturb His Highness for no reason."
Shiqin felt that this big fool was really hopeless. "If I don't report the trivial matter of Marquis Xuanwu today, will the sky fall? You better be careful. You can't go wrong if you listen to me!"
Chen Peng patted his head and said "Oh" in a depressed tone. In order to keep his monthly salary, he decided to listen to Shiqin. Maybe the prince would reward him.
It was quite boring for the two of them to sit there staring at each other. Shiqin had been following the lady everywhere recently and had become much bolder than before.
"Your Highness will not be going back tonight. Let's go out for a walk. My daughter has been following the rules since she was young. She always stays at home on New Year's Eve. I have never been to a market on New Year's Eve, and I have never seen fireworks to welcome the new year."
Chen Peng had seen everything with the Third Prince, but seeing the desire in Shiqin's eyes, he was worried about her going out alone, so he arranged for the guards of Penglai Restaurant and took Shiqin out.
Ji Yunhuan pushed open the attic window and saw Shiqin skipping and walking in front of him. There were people selling fireworks at the entrance of Penglai Restaurant, and Shiqin was holding one in her hand, as happy as a child.
"Shiqin has always been introverted and shy, but today she is particularly happy. I should thank your personal guard."
Jing Yu saw Chen Peng and thought that this idiot would not come to disturb him tonight.
He stepped forward and hugged Sister Huan's waist, whispering, "Sister Huan, I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much."
There was a bustling crowd downstairs at the Penglai Restaurant. The New Year's bell rang from the Fuguang Temple, making a buzzing sound that made people's hearts tremble.
Even though he knew that people outside couldn't see what was happening inside, Ji Yunhuan still couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. Jing Yu was becoming more and more dishonest. How on earth did he come up with all these new ideas?
There was a stove burning in the room, making it warm. Ji Yunhuan was only wearing a bellyband. Jing Yu insisted on staying with her here. She blushed with shame and couldn't help but pull the curtains.
Jing Yu's eyes sparkled, "Sister Huan can still be distracted, it seems that Yu is not working hard enough."
Ji Yunhuan made an embarrassing sound and couldn't help biting her lips.
Jing Yu kissed her immediately. Ji Yunhuan felt as if she was floating in the clouds, not knowing where she was, and fireworks exploded in her mind.
After a long time, Ji Yunhuan collapsed in Jing Yu's arms, her eyes were dazed and she was gasping for breath. She was almost suffocated to death just now.
Jing Yu carried Sister Huan to the bed. Sister Huan was extremely beautiful, like a slowly blooming flower, and this flower would only bloom for him.
He almost couldn't hold back, but he felt that such a beautiful moment should be kept on the wedding night.
Jing Yu held Sister Huan's hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister Huan, can you please love me?"
Fireworks bloomed one after another in the sky, the new year has arrived, and cheers of surprise are everywhere. Under the night sky, countless sparks are scattered across the world, which is a beautiful sight.
Inside the attic, the two of them hugged each other tightly, as if they would stay together forever.
