Chapter 157 Sleepy
"No, I'm not that delicate." Jiang Zhaoyue said angrily.
"That's good." Pei Jingzhou turned to Xiao Congbei and said, "Second brother, I am a chivalrous woman. I will fight against any injustice I encounter. I hope you won't blame me for injuring a servant in your mansion this time."
Although the Crown Princess's words and actions were bold, she seemed very kind and easy to get along with. Xiao Congbei did not expect that she would pick up firewood and hit people.
He was really stunned just now, but now he came to his senses and said hurriedly: "No, no, no, it's my younger brother who didn't discipline me properly. I made my elder brother embarrassed and my elder sister-in-law angry."
The fat nanny was the servant in Prince Jing's mansion. She was not even qualified to serve the prince or princess, and she acted like a tyrant in the kitchen every day.
But when she heard these gorgeously dressed people in front of her calling her "Emperor's brother", "Emperor's sister-in-law" and "Emperor's younger brother" all the time, no matter how stupid she was, she knew their identities and was immediately frightened and trembling.
"You cunting slave!" Xiao Congbei shouted angrily.
The fat nanny quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I have done something wrong. I am guilty. Please spare my life, Your Majesty. Please spare my life."
Xiao Congbei ordered: "Come here, break her right hand and expel her from the palace."
"yes."
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I admit my guilt..." The fat nanny was carried out like this.
Xiao Congbei then punished the manager of the kitchen.
After receiving the punishment, the steward hurriedly arranged for a few cooks to look after the stove.
Xiao Congbei apologized to Pei Jingzhou and Jiang Zhaoyue again.
Originally, this was the official business of Prince Jing's Mansion, and the servants were also servants of Prince Jing's Mansion. Xiao Congbei handled it according to the rules of Prince Jing's Mansion, and there was no problem. Pei Jingzhou naturally said some polite words.
Jiang Zhaoyue looked at the little girl kneeling on the ground.
Although the little girl was a victim, she had been a victim since she was a child, and had been scolded, beaten, punished and sold all the time.
So she was extremely scared now, not knowing what terrible thing was waiting for her. Suddenly, she heard a gentle "cuckoo" and looked up to see a woman as bright as the winter sun.
"You are Dujuan, right?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
When the little girl Dujuan entered Prince Jing's mansion, her registered name was Dujuan, but the fat nanny kept calling her "dead girl", "bitch", and "money-losing thing". She hadn't heard the word "Dujuan" for a long time.
Although the little girl was thin and small, and looked like a nobody, she had the shadow of Qingluo between her eyebrows and eyes. Jiang Zhaoyue said with certainty, "She is Huang Ying's biological sister."
Du Juan was startled. She quickly knelt before Jiang Zhaoyue and said, "My lord, you know my sister, don't you? Where is she? Is she still alive?"
"She's still alive and well." Jiang Zhaoyue pulled Du Juan up and said, "I came to find you just to help her."
After years of worry, Dujuan finally found her peace of mind and burst into tears.
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded: "She has always been thinking about you."
Dujuan couldn't stop crying when she heard this.
Jiang Zhaoyue said: "Come with me now, I will take you to see her."
Du Juan nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll go with you."
Jiang Zhaoyue looked at Xiao Congbei: "Second brother."
"Sister-in-law, I will order someone to hand over her indenture contract to you right now." Feng Lanxin instructed the servants with red eyes.
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't expect that Feng Lanxin was also a person of temperament.
Xiao Congbei glanced at Feng Lanxin and said nothing.
Soon, Jiang Zhaoyue got the indenture contract and expressed his gratitude to Xiao Congbei and Feng Lanxin.
Xiao Congbei said you're welcome, it's just a small matter.
Jiang Zhaoyue turned around and looked at Du Juan. Her black hair was burnt bald, her clothes were tattered, and her body was covered in wounds. She looked so pitiful that she didn't want to stay in Prince Jing's mansion anymore. She said, "Your Highness, let's go back to the palace."
Pei Jingzhou nodded.
Xiao Congbei tried to keep him.
Pei Jingzhou said that there was something going on in the palace, and took Jiang Zhaoyue and Du Juan into the carriage.
It was the first time in Dujuan's life that she sat in such a luxurious carriage. She rested half of her butt on the seat, lowered her head, huddled in the corner, and didn't know where to put her feet, for fear of dirtying or messing up the carriage.
"Don't be afraid." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Dujuan didn't dare to respond.
"We'll get to the East Palace soon and see your sister Xiaolu."
Du Juan looked at Jiang Zhaoyue again: "Is Sister Xiaolu here too?"
"Well, your sister Xiaolu is in the East Palace, and your sister Huangying is in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
Dujuan looked confused.
Jiang Zhaoyue briefly recounted what happened to Xiaolu at Yihua Tower and Qingluo at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
While Dujuan felt sorry for Xiaolu, she knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed three times.
Jiang Zhaoyue felt pained when she heard this and asked, "What are you doing?"
Du Juan said: "This servant——"
"Servant?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Du Juan changed her tone upon hearing this: "I thank the Crown Princess for saving me and my sisters."
"Okay, I accept your thanks. Stand up and sit down."
Du Juan was filled with gratitude towards the Crown Princess and was willing to die for her immediately, but the Crown Princess just asked her to sit still, so she had to sit still.
Jiang Zhaoyue leaned on Pei Jingzhou's shoulder.
Pei Jingzhou asked in a low voice: "Tired?"
"Yeah." Jiang Zhaoyue responded.
Pei Jingzhou put his arms around her and wanted to say something, but when he looked down, he saw that she was asleep, so he didn't disturb her.
Jiang Zhaoyue was sleeping soundly when she heard Pei Jingzhou's voice: "Zhaoyue, Zhaoyue, we're home."
Jiang Zhaoyue opened his eyes unhappily.
Pei Jingzhou knew that she was in a bad mood when she woke up, so he held his breath and waited for her to express it.
"Annoying." Jiang Zhaoyue frowned and muttered, as if the whole world had annoyed her.
Pei Jingzhou said nothing.
Jiang Zhaoyue slowly sat up: "How annoying."
Pei Jingzhou looked at her silently.
Jiang Zhaoyue sat there for a while, then quickly recovered. He looked ahead and asked, "Where's Dujuan?"
"Waiting for you outside the carriage." Pei Jingzhou finally spoke.
"What are you waiting for me for?"
"Wait until you calm down." Pei Jingzhou said.
Jiang Zhaoyue turned and looked at Pei Jingzhou.
"Are you feeling better?" Pei Jingzhou asked gently.
What a gentle voice!
What a thoughtful gesture!
What a handsome man!
Jiang Zhaoyue felt soft in her heart: "Your Highness!"
"Hmm?" Pei Jingzhou responded.
Jiang Zhaoyue suddenly said: "I want to kiss you again."
Pei Jingzhou stood up immediately after hearing this.
Jiang Zhaoyue, however, took the initiative and lay on top of him, biting his lips.
Pei Jingzhou's body suddenly slammed into the carriage wall, making a loud "bang" sound. He mumbled, "Jiang Zhaoyue."
Jiang Zhaoyue not only kissed her, but also touched her.
Pei Jingzhou groaned.
Jiang Zhaoyue used a little force on her hands, bit his lip and said, "Look how much you like it."
Pei Jingzhou's ears instantly turned red as if dripping blood.
"Why don't we do it in the carriage?"
"Nonsense." Pei Jingzhou used great self-control to push Jiang Zhaoyue away and said sternly: "How can you do this in public..."
"This is not in public, this is in the carriage." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
"Not even in the carriage."
"Why?"
"A carriage is for traveling."
"Beds are for sleeping, tables are for placing things, and chairs are for sitting, but aren't we on them yet—"
Pei Jingzhou quickly covered Jiang Zhaoyue's mouth.
Jiang Zhaoyue pulled his big hand away: "I'll drag you to the carriage sooner or later."
"You...you...are really talking nonsense."
"Hmph." Jiang Zhaoyue turned around and got off the carriage.
Pei Jingzhou wanted to get off the carriage, but that position was too high. He really was... he really was... He rejected Jiang Zhaoyue with his mouth, but his body liked her very much.
He really was... He didn't know how to describe himself. He quickly calmed down, suppressed the messy thoughts in his mind, and got off the carriage.
Jiang Zhaoyue and others were waiting.
Pei Jingzhou didn't dare look at Jiang Zhaoyue and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Zhaoyue sent Dujuan to Xiaolu's residence.
Xiaolu called out, "Dujuan."
"Sister Xiaolu!"
The two good sisters hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Jiang Zhaoyue looked both sad and happy, and turned to Pei Jingzhou and said, "Let's ask Xiao Peng and Qing Luo to come over and take them back."
Pei Jingzhou nodded and asked Pei Jing to do it.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked Xiangqiao to invite an imperial physician, prepare clothes, food, etc. for Dujuan.
"Yes." Xiangqiao agreed.
Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou returned to Muhuayuan together.
Jiang Zhaoyue yawned as he walked towards the bedroom.
Pei Jingzhou took her hand and asked, "Are you sleepy again?"
"Yeah." Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.
"Have lunch and then go to sleep."
"No, I'm too sleepy and can't hold on any longer." Jiang Zhaoyue withdrew his hand and walked straight into the bedroom.
Pei Jingzhou followed him in, and almost immediately he saw Jiang Zhaoyue sleeping on the bed.
Fell asleep so quickly?
Has this never happened before?
Are you poisoned?
His face changed drastically and he shouted, "Pei Jing!"
