Chapter 360: Marquis Mansion Madam vs. Younger Prince 103
Chen Peng stood beside the Third Prince, looking at the woman on the ground with cold eyes, and said vigilantly: "Your Highness, this woman's origins are unknown. Who knows who sent her as a spy? She is plotting to murder Your Highness. It is better to kill her with a knife and eliminate the trouble forever!"
Ji Rongyue was kicked in the chest, it was so painful that her fake crying turned into real crying.
When she really started crying, she didn't care about her image at all, her face was covered with snot and tears. She thought her crying was so pitiful that she would surely attract the Third Prince's sympathy.
"Please spare my life, sir. I am not a spy. I am just in pain. I did not drop the wine jar on purpose."
Ji Rongyue raised her wrist so that the Third Prince could see the scar clearly.
"My life is miserable. I was born a concubine's daughter and was not loved by my father. My wife and my elder sister made things difficult for me. I knew that my status was low, so I dared not resist. I just let them beat and scold me and lived a miserable life."
"I was hoping to marry into a good family, find a loyal man, and escape from that dangerous place. But my wife was so unkind that she just found a man of questionable character and wanted to marry me off. I naturally refused and tried to fight for my life, but my elder sister was so vicious that she ordered people to tie me up and not give me food or water."
"The servants in the mansion flatter the powerful and bully the weak, helping the tyrant to do evil and humiliating me. This is how I got all these injuries. I finally found a glimmer of hope and escaped from home. I beg you to have mercy on me and save me."
Ji Rongyue crawled towards the Third Prince while crying, but because of the guard's presence, she didn't dare to get too close. She could only use her eyes to express her feelings to the Third Prince.
The drunken sons of nobles around were all making a fuss. They had known the Third Prince since childhood and spoke without much scruples.
"Tsk tsk~ Here comes another one looking for death. I have known the Third Young Master for such a long time, but I have never seen him being gentle and considerate to women. Even the guards around him are just as unromantic."
"She looks pretty good. If you don't like her, why not give her to me? I don't mind having fun with her for a night."
"Brother, you are really not picky. I dare not sleep with a woman of unknown origin. I am afraid that she will be tricked. It is better to go to a brothel. The money is paid and there is less trouble."
"That makes sense. Tomorrow, Mr. Japan will host you all. Please have a chat. The girls in Tianxiang Tower are all very beautiful and much better than this girl."
Ji Rongyue was so angry that her teeth itched. Who were these playboys? How dare they covet her? They even compared her to prostitutes in a brothel. How despicable!
She has been arrogant since she was a child, and thinks she is no worse than Ji Yunhuan. Once she enters the Third Prince's Mansion, she will definitely be able to trample Ji Yunhuan under her feet. Maybe she will be the Third Prince's consort in the future, and even her father will have to bow his head to salute her when he sees her.
Ji Rongyue looked at the Third Prince with tears in her eyes, "I am also a well-known woman, not a prostitute who has willingly lowered herself to low status. I hope the Third Prince will show me mercy. I am willing to work like a cow or a horse to repay your kindness."
Jing Yu didn't believe a word of it.
He saw the handkerchief, which was embroidered with elegant orchids. It was clearly Huan'er's embroidery, but it fell into the hands of this woman.
This woman has delicate skin and tender flesh, and has never suffered any hardship. The marks on her hands look like they were drawn. She is wearing Huan'er's clothes and holding Huan'er's handkerchief!
He vaguely remembered that the Ji family had a concubine's daughter, and this girl should be it.
This woman had evil intentions. She once humiliated Kong Liang and forced him to cancel the engagement. She then sneaked to Mulan Paddock and tried to sow discord between them in front of him, pretending to seduce him. This concubine was really calculating.
Jing Yu sneered and pretended not to know the woman's identity. If she stopped while she was ahead, he would show mercy for Lord Ji's sake.
"Since you have escaped from home, then stay here and work hard. Mulan Paddock will not chase you away. When you save enough money in the future, you will have a good life."
Let this concubine's daughter work here for a year or two, and she will naturally know what is good for her and will not cause trouble for Huan'er anymore.
Ji Rongyue was stunned for a moment. She didn’t understand what went wrong. Didn’t the Third Prince understand her hint?
She wanted to throw herself into the arms of the Third Prince and enjoy wealth and glory with him. Who would want to work so hard in this shabby place?
Those maids are really stupid. The road to heaven is right before their eyes, yet they still pretend to be chaste and heroic women. The wages they earn in their entire lives cannot compare to the little reward that slips through the fingers of rich people.
The maids were of low status and could not marry the third prince, so finding a playboy was one of their options.
Ji Rongyue didn't want to live a hard life, so Aunt Li climbed onto her father's bed while he was drunk. Although nothing happened, Aunt Li lost her reputation, so her father had no choice but to take her in.
Even with my aunt's background, she can enter the Ji family. She is a real noble lady from the capital and will definitely be able to enter the Third Prince's Palace.
Ji Rongyue prostrated herself at Jing Yu's feet, kowtowing repeatedly, "Sir, please accept me. If my elder sister knew that I escaped, she would definitely kill me! My elder sister is... is..."
Ji Rongyue was trembling all over, as if she was extremely scared. She was about to casually reveal her identity so that the Third Prince would accept her, when she heard the Third Prince's careless voice from above.
"Oh, I see. Since you want to find a man to spend your life with, I can't stand in the way of your bright future."
Jing Yu did not let Ji Rongyue reveal her identity. If she did, for the sake of Lord Ji, it would be difficult for him to deal with this concubine's daughter.
Ji Rongyue thought there was hope and said happily, "Right, right, right! Men are the sky, women are the earth. I am like a piece of duckweed, drifting without support. I only hope to be able to stay by your side. I don't ask for status, I only ask for your protection."
Jing Yu waved at the noble son who had just said he wanted to have a good night, and said with a smile: "Wu Lang and I are like brothers. Since Wu Lang likes this girl, I will help him and give her to him."
Everyone laughed, "The Third Young Master is really generous! Giving a beauty as a gift is really a good story."
"Wu Lang is so lucky. He already has several concubines at home. It wouldn't be too much to add one more. This is a gift from the Third Young Master. It's an honor."
Wu Lang was the youngest son in the family. He was used to hanging out in brothels. With a large family and great wealth, he naturally married several concubines. He could see that the Third Prince did not like this woman, so he smiled and said:
"It's just a toy. For the sake of the Third Young Master, I'll let her be a bed-warmer. If I take her as a concubine, my father will break my legs."
Jing Yu nodded in satisfaction, "Wu Lang has become more sensible. If I enter Wu Lang's home, I will definitely protect this girl. It can be considered a good deed."
Ji Rongyue was stunned, unable to come back to her senses for a long time. She couldn't understand why it turned out like this. How could the Third Prince give her away?
Jing Yu kicked Ji Rongyue and sneered, "What are you still standing there for? Go and serve Wu Lang!"
