Chapter 492: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor 103
With a clang, the tray in Hong Xiangyu's hand fell to the ground, and the pens, ink, paper and inkstone inside were scattered all over the floor.
The inkstone hit Hong Xiangyu's foot, but she seemed unconscious. Her head was buzzing and she stood there.
She thought she still had a chance. She had been listening to Ji Yunhuan these days, and Lin Yuan had even praised her. As long as she followed Ji Yunhuan, she would always have the chance to meet Lin Yuan.
But Ji Yunhuan is pregnant, and Lin Yuan is about to marry Ji Yunhuan, what should she do?
If Ji Yunhuan really becomes Lin Yuan's wife, she will definitely become more and more troublesome in the future. Lin Yuan only listens to Ji Yunhuan and will not help her at all!
Ruyi looked at the ink stick that was broken into two pieces, feeling quite distressed. She stood up and went to clean up the remains, muttering softly, "One ounce of gold for one ounce of ink. Such precious Hui ink, only the young lady is generous. Miss Hong said it smelled good, and you gave it to her eagerly."
"This ink stick was made by Master Qi from Huizhou. There are only a few of them in the world. Even in the emperor's treasury, there are only two. It was broken like this. Miss Hong, you shouldn't be more careful..."
Ji Yunhuan noticed something unusual about Hong Xiangyu. After spending these days with her, she got to know her quite well. Hong Xiangyu used to be the spoiled and domineering eldest daughter of the mountain stronghold, living a carefree life. But suddenly she lost her father and suffered misfortunes. Her character became sensitive and overthinking, and she was very awkward. It was impossible to explain her to her in a short time, so she could only take it slowly.
Ji Yunhuan interrupted Ruyi and said softly, "It's just a piece of ink. It can be used even if it breaks. As long as Yu'er is willing to study hard and learn calligraphy, I'm willing to give her as many ink sticks as she wants."
"Come here and let me take a look. You are such a grown-up, why are you still so clumsy? Have you hurt yourself?"
Ji Yunhuan reached out his hand towards Hong Xiangyu, but Lin Yuan was pushed aside instead.
Lin Yuan sighed, Huan'er was too gentle to Xiangyu. Why didn't she have the patience with him? She would always show him the scimitar, just like a ferocious kitten.
Forget it, she is his sister after all. Does he have to be jealous of her?
Lin Yuan stepped aside without saying anything.
Hong Xiangyu felt very depressed. Everyone thought that Ji Yunhuan was a good person. Everyone in the village praised Ji Yunhuan. What was even more hateful was that Ji Yunhuan treated her even better. He helped her dress up and gave her clothes and jewelry. As long as she asked, Ji Yunhuan would give her everything.
This smiling tiger! He was just pretending for Brother Lin to see. She didn't believe that Ji Yunhuan was a good person!
Hong Xiangyu tore off the insect repellent sachet from her body, threw it hard on the ground, stomped on it twice, and shouted, "I don't want your things! Don't think you can buy me off with this little favor. I don't want it!"
Ji Yunhuan remained motionless, still smiling, "No one wants to bribe you. If you don't want it, forget it. But if you get bitten by mosquitoes at night, I won't have another one for you."
"When you scratch it, it will leave a red mark. If it leaves a scar, it will not look good."
Hong Xiangyu subconsciously touched her face. Ji Yunhuan gave her a sachet and some facial ointment, and she really felt much better.
Hong Xiangyu shook her head, deciding not to think or be led astray by this bad woman.
She was too embarrassed to pick up the sachet on the ground. Her heart was torn between thoughts and finally her fear of the future prevailed. She couldn't let Ji Yunhuan marry Lin Yuan!
"You...what are you so proud of? You just relied on your good looks to seduce Brother Lin in various ways! Everyone in the village has been deceived by you, even Uncle Kai has been fooled by you. You have been flirting with people in the village, don't think I don't know!"
There was total silence, and everyone in the room was like quails, not daring to make a sound.
Wong Tai Sin tried desperately to wink at Hong Heung Yuk, signaling her to stop talking, and even wanted to pull Hong Heung Yu out.
Hong Xiangyu impatiently waved away Huang Daxian's hand and became even angrier. "You all side with her! She has only been here for a few days, and you all listen to her. She is a vixen. You call yourself a great immortal, but you are still deceived by her! Who knows what dirty things you have done in private!"
Ji Yunhuan's face turned cold, and he said calmly: "Xiangyu, as a woman, don't you know what to say and what not to say?"
"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Women have a hard life in this world. Where did you learn these dirty words? It doesn't sound like you came up with them on your own."
There had been rumors in the village for a long time. There were not many women in the village, and Ji Yunhuan was so beautiful, with so many men coming and going around her every day, so naturally some people would have evil thoughts.
But Ji Yunhuan was surrounded by many guards, and she was no pushover. Wei Yong was so bold as to try to tease Ji Yunhuan, but ended up having his hand broken. So he became even more aggressive in spreading rumors, and spoke them in a very concise manner.
In such a big village, there are always some people who like to gossip when they have nothing to do. They can't meet Ji Yunhuan, so they can only gossip in private, imagining that Ji Yunhuan is a loose woman and that one day it will be their turn.
Hong Xiangyu also heard the story from hearsay. She was very angry at the moment and started to speak without thinking.
"You did something dirty yourself, why don't you let me tell you about it? It's all over the village. If you really kept yourself clean, there wouldn't be so many rumors. It's obviously because you're not a good person!"
"From Luojing to Cangzhou, there are so many men along the way. Who knows whose bastard is in your belly? You still want to marry Brother Lin? You are dreaming! A woman like you who can sleep with anyone should be thrown into a pig cage..."
With a slapping sound, Lin Yuan's eyes turned sinister, and he raised his hand and slammed it hard on Hong Xiangyu's face. He breathed heavily, trying his best to suppress his anger.
"Hong Xiangyu! I think you are crazy!"
Half of Hong Xiangyu's face was numb, with a trace of blood flowing down the corner of her mouth. She looked at Lin Yuan in disbelief, her anger rising to her head, and she was so angry that she could hardly stand.
“Lin…Lin Yuan! You bastard! How dare you hit me… You ungrateful bastard, have you forgotten who rescued you? Who avenged your parents? You ungrateful bastard! My father raised you in vain!”
Lin Yuan stared at Hong Xiangyu coldly. He was completely disappointed with his sister. No matter how he tried to teach her, she wouldn't improve. He had no choice but to use tough measures.
"I haven't forgotten! My adoptive father has done me a favor, so I killed Zhao Feitian. I will guard the village for my adoptive father and treat the brothers who have been through life and death with him well!"
"Hong Xiangyu, I just indulged you too much. You can't tell right from wrong, and you can't figure out who is really good to you! Huan'er is trying hard to teach you, but you speak ill of her. You really don't know what you are talking about!"
"Someone, please take Miss Hong to the attic. No one is allowed to let her out without my order!"
