Chapter 103 Zheng Qi's Feigned Supernatural Abilities
Cui Ying looked at Qin Jinzhi as she sighed for the tenth time.
“I feel like we’re acting like thieves right now! Why are we squatting on people’s rooftops?”
Qin Jinzhi glanced at her. "Then, like last time at the Wei residence, should I just lead my men and barge in?"
"I think we're doing very well right now. Keep your voice down so no one notices."
LOL, she was so scared last time she almost lost her mind.
She'd rather not see such a bloody scene.
The group made several turns and arrived at a courtyard.
Yun Que pointed to this place; the maid she had been with during the day had entered this courtyard.
Suddenly, a series of ghostly wails and howls came from the courtyard.
In an instant, the courtyard was brightly lit.
A disheveled woman was seen chasing after a young maid.
His whole body was convulsing, and his frenzied appearance was terrifying.
"Tie the young lady up quickly!"
A middle-aged couple walked quickly into the courtyard.
Cui Ying pointed at the two and said, "This is Chief Minister Zheng and his wife!"
The one who's tied up must be Miss Zheng Qi.
Yun Que pointed to the maid who was crying and calling for her mistress.
This is the maid in the study.
"Chu Siyun, you'll pay me back my life!"
Miss Zheng shouted at the top of her lungs.
The young maidservant, trembling with fear, turned to Zheng Hongwen and said, "Master! This isn't Miss's voice! This, this, this is Concubine Liu's voice!"
"Master, you must do justice for Liu'er! My child was killed by Chu Siyun!"
Everyone present changed their expressions.
Madam Zheng immediately said, "Seventh Miss is having a fit of hysteria and talking nonsense. Gag her!"
Miss Zheng shouted, "Master, do justice for Liu'er!"
He then convulsed and fainted.
The maidservant exclaimed in terror, "Miss is possessed by Aunt Liu! Aunt Liu has returned for revenge! A ghost! A ghost!"
Madam Zheng stepped forward and slapped her across the face. "What nonsense are you spouting! What Aunt Liu! Take the Seventh Miss back to her room right now!"
She turned around and said, "Master, Xiao Qi is just having a fit of hysteria, please don't take it seriously."
Zheng Hongwen's face was grim. "Go and fetch a doctor for Si'er. You come to the study with me!"
Madam Zheng's face stiffened, and she left with Zheng Hongwen.
The people in the courtyard seemed to be doing the tidying up of the yard with practiced ease.
It seems like this scene has happened many times before.
Cui Ying glanced at Qin Jinzhi, scratched her face, and said, "This Miss Zheng's acting skills are quite good."
Qin Jinzhi smiled; all three of them had seen the smug smile on Zheng Qi's face when he was sent back to his room.
Is Miss Zheng pretending to be possessed by a ghost?
Once the courtyard had quieted down, Yun Que threw sleeping incense into the servants' rooms.
He then stood guard at the door to keep watch for the two.
While Cui Ying was still pushing open the window, Qin Jinzhi pushed open the door and walked in.
She lowered her voice and said anxiously, "What are you doing!"
Qin Jinzhi went straight in and sat down at the table in the room.
Cui Ying quickly followed him in furtively.
By the moonlight, Cui Ying gestured to Qin Jinzhi, indicating what they needed to do.
Qin Jinzhi gestured for Cui Ying to sit down.
Cui Ying sat down next to Qin Jinzhi, puzzled.
Both of them were skilled in martial arts and quickly realized that the person on the bed was awake.
The breath a person has when they are asleep is completely different from the breath a person has when they are awake.
Cui Ying stared at her, wide-eyed. What should she do now?
Qin Jinzhi spoke directly: "Miss Zheng, it's getting boring if you keep pretending to be unconscious. Or would it be better to call you Mr. Mulan?"
Miss Zheng Qi on the bed visibly froze.
After a while, the person on the bed spoke up, saying, "Who are you? If you want money, you can take any of the jewelry on the dressing table."
Qin Jinzhi tapped her fingertip lightly on the table. "Are you playing tricks to get revenge?"
The inner quarters are rife with shady dealings and are extremely filthy.
Qin Jinzhi had heard this kind of thing many times.
Zheng Qi was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't understand what you're saying."
Qin Jinzhi chuckled lightly, "Relax, I have no interest in your family affairs. I'm here to ask you to write a story."
The person on the bed was taken aback. "What storybook?"
What kind of storybook could make you break into someone's bedroom in the middle of the night?!
"Peach Blossom Heroine!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qi abruptly threw off the covers and got out of bed, shouting, "Are you all crazy! You're even urging me to write a story here!"
Her storybooks are bestsellers with a large readership.
The owner of the bookstore has said more than once that there are many enthusiastic readers.
Zheng Qi thought Qin Jinzhi and Cui Ying were that avid reader.
She angrily lit the oil lamp, and as soon as the light shone on Qin Jinzhi's face, she immediately knelt down on the ground.
"The...the princess?"
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "You know me?"
Damn it, can anyone tell her that Princess Jinzhi likes her storybooks to this extent!
“I saw you on the street the day you returned to the city.”
She went there specifically to write a new story. She had heard that this princess's life was quite remarkable, but unexpectedly, she saw her knocking out a prince's front tooth on the street.
This would damage the royal family's reputation, so she didn't dare write it.
But she could never forget that face!
Qin Jinzhi was frank, "Your storybooks are widely circulated among the people, but they are not inflammatory. I want you to rewrite a version so that Peach Blossom Heroine becomes a hero in the hearts of the people, preferably someone who can command a large following."
"ah?"
Zheng Qi looked troubled; he was truly a fanatical fan.
She could refuse others, but she dared not refuse this princess.
Cui Ying frowned and said, "Are you really here to urge me to finish the manuscript?"
Qin Jinzhi took the oil lamp and shone it on Cui Ying, saying, "I was afraid you wouldn't write well, so I brought you Peach Blossom Heroine."
When Zheng Qi looked over, he wondered if his eyes had really been blinded by a ghost.
Isn't this Miss Cui Ying from Prime Minister Cui's family?
Zheng Qi felt like his brain was about to burn!
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Princess Jinzhi brought Peach Blossom Heroine to ask her to write a new story about Peach Blossom Heroine.
Peach Blossom Heroine is Miss Cui Ying, the daughter of the Prime Minister's family.
Was she dreaming?
Also, the incident between the two of them three years ago caused quite a stir.
Why did they get together?
Aren't they enemies?
Why are they together? And why did he appear in her room in the middle of the night?
How did they know she was Ms. Mulan?
Help!
Qin Jinzhi looked at Zheng Qi, who was completely stunned, and said, "I'll only give you three days. If you can't write it down, I'll tell your father and stepmother that you're playing tricks."
Cui Ying glared at her. "How did you know it was her stepmother?"
Qin Jinzhi didn't look at her, but said to Zheng Qi on the ground, "However, if you write well, this princess will give you a favor."
Zheng Qi was taken aback and immediately asked, "Where am I supposed to find the princess?"
Qin Jinzhi smiled upon hearing this, "I will come to you when I see the new storybook in three days."
After saying that, she got up and left.
Cui Ying quickly followed, "You took me to break into Zheng Fu's mansion at night just to get someone to write a storybook for you? If anyone finds out, my father will beat me to death!"
After the two left the mansion, Qin Jinzhi looked at the furious Cui Ying and said, "Heroine, it's your turn to uphold justice!"
