Chapter 518: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor 129
Ji Yunhuan truly experienced the feeling of bullying others by taking advantage of one's power.
It was impossible for her to squeeze into the crowd. No matter what she wanted, Tu Jinglun would bring people to her. The guards also stayed by her side every step of the way, and passers-by consciously stayed away from the noble and would not get close.
Ji Yunhuan took a bite of the candied haws. She had no appetite for it at all, but she still had to pretend that she liked it, otherwise the guards would definitely not let go of the old man selling the candied haws.
Ji Yunhuan felt uncomfortable while strolling around, but Tu Jinglun was used to it. He had been living like this since he was a child. Whenever he went out, he would be surrounded by guards and be surrounded by people.
"Miss Ji, that tiger-head doll is quite wild and interesting. Although it is a bit rough, it is simple and elegant. I heard that girls from ordinary families like it. I will buy one for you right now."
Without waiting for Ji Yunhuan to answer, Tu Jinglun went there with a happy face, and even took out silver and gave it to the lady selling dolls in a proper manner.
The old lady was frightened by the group of guards and handed the doll over tremblingly.
Tu Jinglun suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if someone was staring at him, but when he turned around, the people in the downtown area were all standing on the roadside with their heads lowered, and did not dare to disturb his fun at all.
He thought he was overthinking it, and happily approached Ji Yunhuan holding the tiger-headed doll, "I'll give it to you! The red one is for you, and the blue one is for me, let's each have one!"
Ji Yunhuan's body stiffened, and she keenly felt a burning gaze falling on her. As if she had telepathy, she raised her head and looked towards the roof opposite.
A black figure stood there, with his clothes fluttering in the wind. Even from such a distance, Ji Yunhuan could almost see Lin Yuan's cold face.
She did not take the doll, but she could not say that the doll was bad, otherwise Tu Jinglun might take his anger out on the lady who sold the doll.
"I'm tired, you take it yourself!"
Tu Jinglun threw the tiger-head doll to the servant next to him. He followed Ji Yunhuan's line of sight and said with a smile, "That's Linlang Pavilion, a favorite place for girls. It has everything from rouge and powder to clothes and jewelry. Every time my mother goes out, she goes to Linlang Pavilion."
"If you are tired, take a carriage. Let's go now."
Ji Yunhuan got on the carriage. Tu Jinglun thought he had coaxed Ji Yunhuan for a long time, and he also guessed Miss Ji's little intention of going to Linlang Pavilion. Miss Ji must not be angry anymore, so he sat in the front of the carriage.
When he arrived at the door of Linlang Pavilion, Tu Jinglun shuddered. He felt as if he was being stared at by something scary, and he felt uneasy for no reason.
"You guys stay in Linlang Pavilion, and have the shopkeeper clear the place. No outsiders are allowed to come in, so as not to disturb Miss Ji's interest."
The shopkeeper had no choice but to offend a group of customers and clear out Linlang Pavilion.
The guests came out cursing, but when they saw the Tu family's carriage, they didn't dare to say anything and just left with their anger swallowed.
Ji Yunhuan opened the curtains and looked out, and saw A Tao in disguise, but did not see Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan, who was very good at climbing walls and flying over rooftops, must be hiding in some corner.
The guards entered Linlang Pavilion and made sure that there were no outsiders before Tu Jinglun took Ji Yunhuan in.
As long as Ji Yunhuan liked something, Tu Jinglun would ask the shopkeeper to pack it up, and he was very generous.
Fang Huijia was arranged to have tea in the private room on the second floor. The hall on the first floor was very spacious and the shopkeeper was far away, as if he didn't exist.
In order to stay here longer, Ji Yunhuan pretended to be surprised, "This place is really good, not worse than the Cuibao Pavilion in Luojing City, I really like it!"
When Tu Jinglun saw Ji Yunhuan's smiling face, he felt dazzled. Time slowed down in his eyes, and everything around him faded away, leaving only the smiles and frowns of the person in front of him.
His heart was beating very fast and his blood was boiling. He realized that spending a fortune to win a beautiful woman's smile was such a wonderful feeling.
As long as Miss Ji can be happy, it is worth spending any amount of money.
"Miss Ji, as long as you are willing to stay in Huanan City, I... I am willing to marry you as my principal wife! Father originally wanted me to take you into my room, but I... I like you! I like to see you smile, even when you are angry, I think you look good. I don't mind that you are the daughter of a criminal, I want to marry you!"
Ji Yunhuan was holding a golden hairpin in her hand and found the words a little funny, as if marrying her was a blessing from heaven.
She threw the hairpin back into the box and said angrily, "You are willing to marry me, but I am not! There are so many men in the world, why should I marry you? We have only known each other for less than a day, I am not as impatient as you."
Tu Jinglun explained anxiously: "You will never find such a good marriage in the whole Lingnan. Don't be angry. Marrying into the Tu family is much better than your life in Lianxing Port. My father said that there are many unruly people and bandits over there. If you don't marry me, do you want to marry these inferior people?"
"Miss Ji, I am sincerely asking for your hand in marriage. Don't worry, my mother loves me the most. As long as I ask her, she will definitely agree. My father originally wanted to marry into the Ji family. If I marry you as his principal wife, he can marry you as a concubine if he wants to form an alliance with the wealthy people in South China City in the future..."
Ji Yunhuan vaguely heard a clicking sound. If she let Tu Jinglun continue talking, she was afraid that Lin Yuan would not be able to control himself and would jump out and kill Tu Jinglun.
She interrupted Tu Jinglun and said, "Shut up! Don't say anything. I won't marry you anyway."
Tu Jinglun didn't believe it. He thought Miss Ji was just shy and a girl would naturally feel embarrassed to talk about her marriage.
"I understand. It was indeed my fault. Don't worry, I will explain this matter to my aunt. I will send a matchmaker to propose marriage tomorrow."
A wisp of sawdust floated down from overhead. If this continued, Lin Yuan would almost tear down the beams of Linlang Pavilion.
Ji Yunhuan didn't want to get entangled with Tu Jinglun, so he lowered his voice and said, "We have known each other for a while, and we can be considered friends. To tell you the truth, I am no longer a virgin. Second Young Master, you should reconsider it."
"Thank you for your generosity today, Second Young Master. I will mention the advantages of Huanan City to my father. This place is indeed better than Lianxing Port. Mother is choosing clothes for me upstairs. I will go upstairs and try them on first. Second Young Master, please do as you please."
After Ji Yunhuan finished speaking, he went to the second floor. Tu Jinglun widened his eyes in surprise and stood there blankly, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
When the shopkeeper vaguely heard that the second young master was going to marry this girl, he became even more enthusiastic and led Ji Yunhuan into the private room.
Ji Yunhuan waved her hand and asked the maids to go out. "My maid didn't come with me to Nanhua City. I don't like strangers to serve me personally. It's fine to have mother help me with my makeup. You all go out and don't come in to disturb me if you don't have anything to do."
The maids responded in unison and went to wait at the door of the private room. Linlang Pavilion was full of guards, so it was impossible for Miss Ji to escape with wings.
As soon as the door of the private room was closed, the window opened from the outside. A man in black flashed into the room and hugged Ji Yunhuan.
