She was furious and immediately ordered someone to bring Yunni to her.
Unfortunately, Yun Ni knew she had caused a huge disaster, so why would she stay in the villa and wait for someone to come and arrest her?
They went to look for the troupe leader again, but he also said he didn't know where Yunni had gone.
In a fit of anger, Princess Qingping sent someone to report to the Jingzhao Prefecture, falsely claiming that a priceless treasure had been stolen from the princess's residence when the opera troupe performed there. The Jingzhao Prefecture then arrested and imprisoned the entire opera troupe, who were considered prime suspects.
Jiang Mingyi didn't wake up until the next day.
When I woke up, I found myself in what seemed to be the Princess's mansion. The beams above the ceiling had the uniform blue-green cloud pattern of the mansion, but the room was completely unfamiliar... a servants' quarters?
"Someone come here—" he called weakly a few times, but no one answered.
He waited a moment, then heard footsteps outside, and called out again in a hoarse voice.
Finally, someone pushed open the door and entered. It was the old woman who served the princess. Seeing that he was awake, she casually poured him a glass of water, handed it to him, snorted, and went out again.
Jiang Mingyi was furious, "You audacious scoundrel!"
Unfortunately, his weak and hoarse voice lacked any imposing presence.
The old woman closed the door and went to inform the princess.
Jiang Mingyi struggled to get up, only to find his whole body limp and powerless.
After lying there for about half an hour, the door creaked open.
He turned his head and saw Princess Qingping walk in.
He was overjoyed, "Princess, my wife, what... what's wrong with me?"
Princess Qingping's face turned ashen. "You still have the nerve to ask me? Don't you know what you've done?!"
Jiang Mingyi was bewildered. During the long half hour he had been lying down, he had recalled his most recent memory: that he had fallen asleep in the courtyard.
He was also curious to know how he had gotten back to the princess's residence.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Princess Qingping angrily grabbed a teacup from the table next to her and threw it at him. "You've got some nerve! You've only been married for a year, and you dare to keep a mistress outside?! Your elder brother doesn't want to save us anymore, does he? You don't care about the future of the Earl's Mansion, do you? Fine! I've already had my father withdraw the merchant's advance payment! And withdraw the vice minister's testimony!"
Jiang Mingyi was shocked. "Princess, what mistress? I'm innocent! Don't dismiss it! Don't dismiss it! My elder brother is supposed to be released from prison in three days!"
Princess Qingping sneered, "Who do you think you can fool? You almost died on that woman, and you're really quite the devoted lover! No wonder you've been so listless for the past month, and you were just going through the motions when you were with me. Turns out you've been giving all your energy to that woman!"
Jiang Mingyi was completely bewildered. "What woman? Which woman?!"
"Yun Ni! No. 8, Jixiang Hutong!" Princess Qingping announced Yun Ni's name and the address of the villa, then sneered, "Do you think I don't know?"
“Princess, Yunni and I are nothing. I just couldn’t sleep well, so I had her sing me some tunes. I didn’t do anything,” Jiang Mingyi hurriedly explained. “That villa was only purchased through a broker after we arrived in the capital. The owner hasn’t returned yet, and the contract hasn’t been officially processed, so I haven’t had a chance to tell you…”
Princess Qingping sneered repeatedly, "Do you think I'm a fool? Don't you even remember how you were sent back? By the wind! By the wind! Do you understand?! And your undergarment is gone too! If that wretched woman didn't take it, who did?!"
Jiang Mingyi was struck dumb, as if by lightning!
This is a serious illness that suddenly occurs during the most intense moments of sexual intercourse; it could very well kill someone on the spot!
He recalled that absurd dream. Could it be... that it wasn't actually a dream?
He and Yun Ni...?
“No, no, no,” he shook his head. “Princess, believe me. Bring Yunni here, and I can confront her. These days I’ve only sent her to the other courtyard so she can sing songs to help me fall asleep.”
He could only insist that he was just dreaming and hadn't done anything!
Princess Qingping spat, "Where are you going to find Yunni? Tell me, I want to see her too! I want to know what kind of stunning beauty this vixen is that dares to make you cuckold me!"
"What do you mean by that, Princess?"
"That bitch almost killed you, why aren't you hiding right now?!"
Jiang Mingyi took a deep breath. "I will prove it to you. Right now, the most important thing is my elder brother's case. He will be released from prison in three days. I beg you, Princess, not to cause any unnecessary trouble!"
"If I can get him out of prison, I can certainly make sure he doesn't get out!" Princess Qingping snorted coldly, turned and left, leaving behind a sentence before she went out: "Main Courtyard, don't even think about going back. You'd better stay here!"
Jiang Mingyi cried out in alarm, "Princess!"
He struggled to get up, but actually fell off the bed.
The old woman behind brought in a bowl of food and medicine. "Oh, it seems the Prince Consort has regained his strength. Please eat it yourself!"
After saying that, he put the food and medicine bowl on the ground.
When Jiang Mingyi took a look, he found that the food was spoiled, even worse than what the servants ate.
He flew into a rage, shoving the food aside. "You audacious servant! How dare you serve this pig swill to me, the prince consort?!"
The old woman ignored her and simply locked the door.
Jiang Mingyi: !!!
What on earth happened?! Why did he suddenly have a mistress, and why did he suddenly become terrified?!
Most importantly, what about my older brother?!
He exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling that he and the Earl's family had been incredibly unlucky lately.
It seems that all the bad luck began when Su Shi and Xiao Youran returned to the capital.
He suddenly remembered that his mother had sent someone to Taizhou to inquire about the experiences of the Su family, mother and her two children. It was mentioned that on the day they returned to the capital from Wufeng County, someone stopped their carriage and said that the young county princess was a witch whose curses were very effective.
Could it be...?
He broke out in a cold sweat.
...
The Su family is preparing to pack up and head back to Taizhou.
Xiao Youran has entrusted Lu Ning with the entire construction project, since Lu Ning is counting on it to earn profits for next year.
With the Shen brothers overseeing You Ran Restaurant, there are absolutely no problems. Besides, Xiu'er has now joined the restaurant's kitchen to help out.
Xiuer was very interested in cooking. She had heard several times that her employer's cooking recipes were unique and very profitable, so she decided to become his apprentice.
After going to the restaurant with Xiao Youran a few times, she expressed her desire to stay and help in the kitchen. Since the Shen brothers saw that their young master did not object, they had no reason to object either.
The Yang family of five planned to stay in the capital city for the time being.
After Xiao Youran saved the princess, Doctor Gu suddenly became famous in the capital.
Because Xiao Youran's superb medical skills have been proven, and Doctor Gu is her master.
Many people who worried that a five-year-old girl wouldn't be skilled enough at taking pulses and prescribing medicine immediately came to her for treatment when they saw that she had such a wise and dignified master.
Doctor Gu was initially aloof, worried that he might encounter difficult postpartum ailments like those of the Princess, but he found that many of those seeking his help suffered from common ailments such as colds and abdominal pain, so he readily accepted their cases.
The main problem is that we haven't opened for business for three years!
He can't live off his business for three years after opening!
