Chapter 875: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 17
[Look at how little you have achieved! It's just a small sum of money, what are you afraid of? Even if we confront each other face to face, I have boundless magical powers and can fool you, so you can rest assured.]
[Nie Nanyan is a girl from the Nie family, the biological mother of the prince. She is very different from him. They just teamed up to do business. She always has a lot of servants and maids. How can she be so lenient? Where did this bullshit rumor come from? If I know, I will pull out the tongues of those people! ]
Ji Yunhuan quickly stroked its fur and tried to comfort it.
[The immortal knows everything, so what he said must be right. The prince is upright and honest, so it must be someone with evil intentions who is trying to discredit the prince! ]
Yun Ye felt very comfortable being praised, and took Ji Yunhuan to the most distinctive Chunfeng Street. However, Chunfeng Building was not suitable for a little girl like Ji Yunhuan.
Ji Yunhuan exclaimed from time to time, generously tipped the jugglers a few copper coins, and went to the cockfighting scene again. Unfortunately, he didn't win the bet and lost ten copper coins. He felt very sad and depressed.
[Look at how little you can do! Just wait and see how I win it back for you!]
[Wow~ Daxian you are awesome, you win every time! ]
[Of course. Apart from anything else, I am an expert at eating, drinking and having fun. This chicken was bought from me... from the prince.]
[Ahhhh!!! I won again! I only spent ten copper coins, but I won ten taels of silver! This is too much!]
Mi Xue watched the young lady as if she was assisted by God. Except for the first time, she won every time and soon attracted the attention of the dealer.
Mi Xue pulled the young lady's sleeve and whispered, "Young lady, let's go. Those people are so ferocious and look scary."
Ji Yunhuan bet ten taels of silver at once and said nonchalantly, "It's just ten taels of silver. It's nothing to the dealer. I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm just lucky. After this bet, we'll leave."
"Don't worry, Qingsong has arranged two guards to follow us. They will escort us back. Don't be afraid."
After winning the last game safely, Ji Yunhuan weighed the twenty taels of silver in his hand, smiling with a look of satisfaction.
Let alone twenty taels, even if two thousand taels fell on the ground, Prince Yun would not even bother to look at it. But today, he felt that these twenty taels were particularly gratifying!
At dusk, the two of them and one soul went to the Zhenxiu Restaurant and ate a table full of food.
Ji Yunhuan touched her bloated belly and got into the carriage.
[Thank you, Immortal! This is Huan'er's happiest day in Shangjing City! ]
Yun Ye felt sour in his heart, just because Chen Shen agreed to propose marriage, this woman was so happy!
[Shangjing City is indeed prosperous, but I am trapped in the yard all day long. There are always many tasks waiting for me to do, such as serving my stepmother, serving tea, embroidering clothes, and copying Buddhist scriptures... I rarely have time to go out.]
[Even when I went out, I would always go to banquets or worship Buddha with my stepmother. Every time I was trembling with fear, fearing that my stepmother and my sister would find ways to harm me again. Sometimes I would rather stay in my own yard and not go out, but my stepmother would always take me out to socialize in order to show her kindness.]
[I went out to accompany my sister. This was my first time going out alone. It turned out to be really fun, interesting, and joyful outside! Xianren, Huan'er will always remember this day. There will never be a better time than this.]
Yun Ye was coaxed into submission again.
[Hmph! It's enough for you to know the good of me. Chen Shen is pedantic and rigid. To put it nicely, the Shen family has a strict family tradition. To put it bluntly, they are unsympathetic and rigid. The women in their family have even more rules. Chen Shen will not be like me, taking you out to fight cocks and run dogs, and having a carefree life! ]
[Of course, immortals are the best! But immortals do not enter the mortal world. Huan'er is just an ordinary woman and will eventually get married.]
Yun Ye fell silent, unusually, and did not speak again along the way.
He didn't know that his mother had already sent people to the Ji family to look for a match. He just thought that the Ji family was too low-class and Ji Yunhuan was a concubine's daughter. His father and mother would definitely not agree to him marrying Ji Yunhuan.
Besides, he is a wandering soul now, so I can’t marry him even if I want to!
If he could never return to his own body in this lifetime, wouldn't that harm Ji Yunhuan?
This woman is too soft-hearted. She can be bullied by anyone and she cries a lot. I don’t know if she can live well in the Shen family.
Yun Ye was worried all the way and finally arrived at Gaota Temple.
Nanny Kang was woken up by the little monk. She had slept for the entire day and it was already dark outside.
Ji Yunhuan was still kneeling obediently on the cushion. Nine volumes of Buddhist scriptures had been offered up, and Ji Yunhuan was still chanting Buddha's name devoutly.
Aunt Kang had been hungry all day, and her stomach was rumbling. She stretched her body, moved her muscles, and said cheerfully, "Young Miss is indeed pious. I will definitely say a few good words for you in front of Madam when I go back. You still have to continue copying the Buddhist scriptures and don't slack off."
"I will go and have a vegetarian meal first. Miss, please chant for an incense stick of time, and then you can go back."
Nanny Kang had no intention of letting Ji Yunhuan eat. A person wouldn't die of starvation if he went hungry for a day. She had given Ji Yunhuan a good beating today so that she could take credit for it to the lady when she returned.
As soon as Nanny Kang left, Mi Xue helped Ji Yunhuan sit down.
"Luckily the young lady had eaten, otherwise she would have been kneeling like this for a whole day, hungry, and her injuries were not fully healed. She would have been tortured to death."
The young monk served tea and snacks, and clasped his hands together towards Ji Yunhuan.
Ji Yunhuan took out a silver note and handed it to the young monk, "Thank you, little master. Please help me offer a long-burning lamp."
The young monk said, "Please write down your date of birth and name, I will do it right away."
"I don't know your name or birth date, so I'll just write 'Unknown Immortal'. Thank you for your trouble."
This woman was so stingy that she was willing to spend a hundred taels to offer him a perpetual lamp. She really cared about him and thought about him all the time.
After returning to the Ji family, Ji Yunhuan went to pay her respects to Xu as usual. Even though Xu didn't see her, she stood outside and waited for a long time before Xu told her to leave.
Ji Yunhuan lived in a remote place with an abandoned corner gate. The two guards were very skilled. They moved the things in and left quietly without disturbing anyone.
Ji Yunhuan gave all the reward money. She was stingy, but she would not save money where it was necessary.
A dim kerosene lamp was lit in the room, casting flickering light and shadows. Ji Yunhuan took off the yellow imperial robe on his head, spread it out carefully, and tucked it into his favorite poetry collection.
She was reluctant to buy books, so she borrowed them from bookstores and returned them after copying them. She could not go out, so she could only ask the servants in her house to run errands for her.
With so many servants in the mansion, there are always some inconspicuous people who are not so appreciated by Mrs. Xu. Even if she is the eldest daughter and is not favored, she is still a master. By spending some reward money, she can still find someone to do things for her, and she can barely make ends meet.
Ji Yunhuan closed the poetry collection, flattening the imperial yellow robe.
"Look, Immortal, when this flower dries up, it can be made into a bookmark and preserved forever. I will also remember this day forever."
