Chapter 588: Reborn Girl vs. Book-Traveling Girl 9
The Marquis's wife thought she was an innocent little girl and wanted to destroy her, but because of the old lady, she just wanted to scare her this time.
At the same time, it also demonstrates the power she has as the mistress of the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion. If the Marquis's wife really wants to deal with her, Zheng Yuejin, she has many ways to do it.
Zheng Yuejin sneered in her heart. She didn't expect that the Marquis' wife would be so childish.
Doesn’t she understand the principle that “if you don’t kill the snake, you will suffer from it”?
Since he didn't have the courage to crush her to death, why bother provoking her and making her hate the Marquis's family?
After all, there weren't many internal struggles in the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion for the Marquis' wife to engage in, so it was really ridiculous that she had created such a farce.
However, this incident also made Zheng Yuejin certain of one thing:
As long as the old lady stood on her side, the marquis's wife would not dare to do anything to her.
This surprised her a little.
Before her rebirth, she never found that the old lady was protecting her. Why was that?
After thinking about it carefully, Zheng Yuejin suddenly understood that everything originated from her engagement with the prince.
In her previous life, Zheng Xingyao had an affair with the prince without her knowledge.
By the time the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion learned about this, the prince had already ignored everyone's opposition and insisted on marrying Zheng Xingyao as his princess.
At that time, the old lady did not stand up to defend her. Now thinking about it, everything makes sense.
The old lady was not protecting her, Zheng Yuejin, but the title of "Crown Princess".
In the old lady's view, as long as the Crown Princess came from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, it didn't matter which of the two sisters she was.
A mocking sneer appeared on Zheng Yuejin's lips. Whoever wants the title of Crown Princess can have it. She will never enter the Eastern Palace again in her life.
However, even if Zheng Xingyao wanted to become the Crown Princess, she would never let her enter the gate of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace with a clear conscience.
She wanted Zheng Xingyao to pay for what she did in her previous life.
Although Zheng Yuejin had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but in fact it was just a matter of a moment.
She looked at the thugs, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.
She cleared her throat and said slowly, "It's not impossible for me to let you go. You work for me for three years, and after three years, I will set you free. At that time, whether you want to leave or stay is entirely up to you."
Although these thugs are annoying on a daily basis, they are not stupid.
The leading thug asked cautiously, "Miss, people like us would be a burden even if you spend money to support them.
I wonder what you would like us to do?
Let me be frank: we will not commit murder or arson.
Although we have been a bit of a troublemaker, we have never done anything evil that would harm the world or morality."
Zheng Yuejin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a slightly sarcastic smile.
"Don't worry, with the way you look, I'm afraid you won't be able to do murder or arson cleanly.
Besides, do I look like someone who would allow people to kill people and set fires?
Just do what you are good at, find out the news on the street, and occasionally help me spread some information.
Also, when it is inconvenient for me to go out, you can help me run errands.
There's basically nothing dangerous.
I will give you a monthly salary every month. As long as you work hard, I will not treat you unfairly."
It sounds like a good job, but the leader knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Although there is no danger now, sometimes the news that the master has people release, if it is found out that it came from them, they will definitely be in big trouble, and they will be beaten to death or at least skinned alive.
But at the moment he didn't dare to refuse directly, after all, he already knew that the person in front of him was the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion.
If she was determined to hand them over to the authorities, they would have been beaten half to death by now.
After much deliberation, the leader gritted his teeth and agreed to Zheng Yuejin's request.
"Miss, we agree to work for you for three years. After three years, we'll call it quits?"
Zheng Yuejin nodded solemnly.
"I keep my word. From now on, you will contact Uncle Jiang. If anything happens, he will notify you in advance."
As she spoke, she pointed at the driver.
Then he said, "Tell me your name and address, and Uncle Jiang will come to find you later.
It's getting late, Uncle Jiang, find out how to find them, we need to hurry back."
Uncle Jiang nodded respectfully in response.
The staff that the late madam left for the young lady was already limited. Now the young lady wants more people to work for her outside, and he naturally understands.
Just looking at these pieces of material in front of me, it’s hard to imagine what they can accomplish.
But the young lady is the master, and the master's words are orders. Even though he had doubts in his heart, he did not object.
Uncle Jiang was just about to walk up to those thugs to ask for information when Baoqin stepped forward to help Zheng Yuejin get into the car.
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of applause.
Zheng Yuejin stopped just as she stepped onto the carriage.
She looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person was recognized. It was the second prince born to Concubine Yang.
I thought to myself, "Oh no!" I didn't expect to meet the Second Prince in this place.
I don’t know how much of what just happened was seen by the Second Prince.
Without time to think about it, Zheng Yuejin adjusted her skirt, took two steps towards the second prince, and bowed.
"This humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Second Prince. I hope His Royal Highness is well."
The second prince said softly, "Get up."
Then, he looked Zheng Yuejin up and down carefully with a frivolous look in his eyes, and a smile with ambiguous meaning appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I didn't expect the future Crown Princess to have such abilities. This really opened my eyes today."
Zheng Yuejin bowed gracefully, forcing herself to remain calm.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Your Highness the Second Prince. I was really at my wit's end and resorted to this desperate measure.
I wonder why His Highness is here? Could it be that he is also going to Puguang Temple to burn incense?"
The second prince casually turned the folding fan in his hand and shook it gently a few times.
"That's not the case. This prince went to the farm to race horses. On the way back to the city, I unexpectedly enjoyed a different kind of scenery."
He looked at Zheng Yuejin meaningfully.
The Second Prince didn't stop talking. He suddenly leaned close to Zheng Yuejin and whispered in her ear, "You really have a unique style. You are much more interesting than your usual dignified appearance."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Second Prince took a step back and said loudly:
"Let's go. This prince will escort you back. Don't run into any more ignorant people in this remote area. If Miss Zheng has to recruit these people as her subordinates along the way, wouldn't that be a disgrace to Miss Zheng?"
After he finished speaking, the second prince's guards brought horses from behind.
The second prince mounted his horse and waited beside the carriage without question, not giving Zheng Yuejin any chance to refuse.
