Ni Yueshan paused and looked back at Jing Yuchen. This man had helped Zou Yangyao, and she had considered him an enemy...
Jing Yuchen tapped his palm with the folding fan in his hand, "We can still talk about the price."
"The Second Prince is of noble status, and I am just a commoner. We are of different status, so we cannot negotiate the price."
Since she does not have the ability to compete with Jing Yuchen now, she feels that she should stay away from Jing Yuchen, and she does not have to catch Ren Qun.
"Miss Ni, why are you being so modest? This prince has witnessed your generosity in bribing the Supreme Court Justice."
When he smiled, his narrow fox eyes narrowed slightly, which should have been very intoxicating, but it made Ni Yueshan feel a hint of danger. This man actually knew!
Ni Yueshan didn't say anything else, but just looked at him warily.
Jing Yuchen raised his lips slightly. "The Dali Temple Minister has kept the jewels in his bedroom. If I bring people to confiscate those jewels directly and compare them with the list of Miss Ni's trousseau items, and then reveal them to Zou Yangyao, what will be the result?"
The news that Ni Yueshan bribed the Dali Temple official and had Yang Wanyan wrongfully imprisoned would soon spread throughout the capital...
Ni Yueshan felt threatened.
"What do you want?"
Since Jing Yuchen knew everything and didn't tell Zou Yangyao, it meant that she had no intention of really doing that. Did he still want to have a good talk with her?
"Let's talk about how you'll be willing to release Yang Wanyan."
Jing Yuchen, dressed in a crescent-shaped white robe with a front opening and a jade crown tied around his hair, was handsome, distinguished by his looks and high status. He should have been a particularly likable figure, but, unfortunately, he gave Ni Yueshan a sense of extreme danger. She seemed to be unable to provoke this man, and she also found him extremely annoying...
"You know, she used the fetus to frame me and made me leave the house unjustly. Why should I let her go?"
Ni Yueshan's palm-sized face was full of stubbornness. Jing Yuchen's request was clearly unreasonable.
"But you've already revealed the truth, letting everyone in the capital know that Yang Wanyan is jealous and vicious. She has become infamous."
"Release her from prison, and you can return to the General's Mansion and be his wife. She is just an ugly concubine whose mask has been removed. Why should you care whether she is free or not?"
Jing Yuchen's words sounded full of reason, but Ni Yueshan couldn't listen to them at all.
Return to the General's Mansion? Continue to be trampled by Zou Yangyao?
"How can I possibly return a fellow like Zou Yangyao?"
Ni Yueshan's distinct black and white eyes stared at Jing Yuchen intently, his delicate brows furrowed tightly. "You concealed the bribery for me and negotiated with me here to give face to the Prime Minister's Mansion, right? As long as I agree, will you give Ren Qunbai to me?"
Ni Yueshan looked at Zou Yangyao with disdain, and a hint of surprise flashed in Jing Yuchen's narrow fox eyes.
He still smiled wickedly, "That's right, and this prince believes that Miss Ni is a smart person and knows how to make a decision that is good for both you and me."
If she didn't cooperate and the bribery was exposed, Ni Yueshan herself would be in trouble.
When he first met Jing Yuchen, he protected Zou Yangyao probably because he wanted to win him over, right?
Ni Yueshan clearly understood what Jing Yuchen's purpose was. She sneered and said, "What a brilliant guy."
"I'm afraid that the Second Prince's kindness, Zou Yangyao, won't take it to heart, and that will make me your rival."
Jing Yuchen was not afraid, but only smiled wickedly, with a hint of interest in his eyes: "It is said that those who can become rivals must be confidants. This prince has a new confidant, which is great."
Ni Yueshan said with disgust: "Who wants to be your confidant?"
Jing Yuchen opened his folding fan and fanned himself wildly for a while. The hair on his forehead fluttered, making him look even more handsome and charming. This woman is quite interesting.
Ni Yueshan left Tianbao Casino with a bad look on his face.
Zou Yangyao could have just watched his beloved woman die, but now she had to go and plead for her release in person.
Ni Yueshan got on the carriage and returned to the village. Ren Mei's mother's body had been placed in the coffin. Medicine to cover up the odor had been sprinkled around the coffin, so there was no disgusting smell.
Ren Qun was pushed to the ground. Seeing Ren Mei lying on the coffin and crying, he crawled over and said, "Mei'er, father knows his mistake. Father will treat you well in the future and will never gamble again. Please forgive me..."
Ren Mei looked at Ren Qun with resentment: "Not gambling anymore? Just because you beg for forgiveness, do I have to forgive you? Who was the reason for your mother's death? Why don't you just die!"
She roared at Ren Qun loudly. She had always been cowardly and docile, but now her face was full of resentment. She wished she could tear out Ren Qun's tendons, skin him, grind his bones into ashes.
"Mei'er, Mei'er, your father is really wrong. I really want to quit gambling. If, if I dare to gamble again next time, you can let this young lady chop off my hands..."
Ren Mei closed her eyes. Even though Ren Qun's words were full of regret, Ren Mei didn't believe him at all.
I don’t know how many times Ren Qun has made this promise, but he always breaks his promise.
"Then as you wish, I'll chop off your hands!" Ren Mei closed her eyes and said with gritted teeth.
Ren Mei stayed to take care of her mother's funeral. Ni Yueshan did not return to the prime minister's residence, but went to the gate of Dali Temple.
Yang Wanyan was not someone she wanted to let go, but due to the circumstances, she currently had no ability to compete with a prince.
She clenched her fists. A gentleman's revenge is never too late!
Ni Yueshan requested to see the Dali Temple Minister. When Dali Temple Minister Kang Xueyi heard that Ni Yueshan had come again, he felt a headache. Why not just return the jewelry?
But when he opened the jewelry box and saw the glittering jewels inside, he felt extremely distressed and closed the box with hesitation.
But this time, Ni Yueshan did not come to continue suing Zou Yangyao, but to request the release of Yang Wanyan.
"Miss Ni, have you thought it through? Have you decided to live a good life with General Zou? In fact, few women can marry better after a second marriage. You just have to make do with it and still be the general's wife."
Ni Yueshan glanced at Kang Xueyi and said, "There's a saying that goes, 'A good horse never turns back to the pasture it has been to before.'"
In front of the cell where Yang Wanyan was imprisoned, the jailer unlocked it. Yang Wanyan, who was sleeping against the wall inside, heard the door open and a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face: "General, is the general here?"
But when she saw the person standing at the door, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
Instead, she accused him of shame and anger: "Why is it you, you ugly woman? What are you doing here now? Are you here to laugh at me?"
She looked a little crazy, with a distorted face and no trace of reserve and gentleness.
Ni Yueshan only looked at her with contempt: "The Dali Temple was originally scheduled to execute you in two days, but now, I feel that I haven't had enough fun yet."
The cell door opened, and Yang Wanyan's face was ferocious. She rushed forward, wanting to harm Ni Yueshan, but Ni Yueshan simply dodged to the side and kicked her again: "Go back and tell Zou Yangyao that the matter between him and me is not over!"
