Ji Fengyao moved the stool closer to Shang Xiye, leaned closer, and her bright eyes sparkled with gossip: "Your Highness, do you have some good news to share with me recently?"
What other happy event could there be?
Shang Xiye recalled the sweet yet embarrassing scene from last night, and looked away uncomfortably.
"Hei Xiao said that you went to the palace to see your old lover that night. You've been so happy these past two days. Has the matter achieved a decisive victory? Will I soon have a real little sister?" Ji Fengyao smiled, revealing two rows of pearly white teeth, though she felt a little sour inside.
But, with gossip in the spotlight, everything else takes a backseat!
Shang Xiye's eyes, full of affection and tenderness, shattered and cracked instantly, her peerless face resembling a blackened pot that had been burning for ten thousand years.
My amazing girlfriends!
From now on, anyone who dares to call her "sister" or "younger sister" will be chopped up and fed to the dogs!
"Hahahaha..." Black Owl's arrogant laughter echoed from the rooftop.
Shang Xiye slapped the ground twice with both hands, sending herself and her wheelchair flying out of the yard. With a single slap, she smashed a potted plant in the corner of the yard into the roof, becoming the culprit.
Black Owl was not to be outdone, kicking down a tile and launching it as a hidden weapon at Shang Xiye.
Lin Shuang and Bai Lu followed them to the door in fear. Seeing Shang Xiye and Hei Xiao fighting so fiercely, they turned back to Ji Fengyao and almost cried out in terror: "Your Highness, the Prince is really angry this time. Will he chop off our heads?"
Ji Fengyao also chased after him to the corridor with a look of deep regret, inwardly slapping herself in the face!
She has such a sharp tongue; when she gets excited, she just doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut.
The woman who entered the palace was naturally the Emperor's woman. Her direct question was clearly intended to pierce the Ninth Prince's heart. Now, her quick tongue had brought her instant gratification, but now she was in tears and had inadvertently betrayed and implicated Black Owl.
For three consecutive days, apart from coming over for acupuncture at night, Shang Xiye did not appear at Hui Nuan Pavilion.
This delighted the three ladies of the household, who all said that the bandit would soon fall out of favor.
Consort Jia alone couldn't be happy. She smashed teacups one after another, and once she remembered it, she spat out a mouthful of blood: "That good-for-nothing! I knew I couldn't rely on him. I shouldn't have gone to him in the first place. What a waste of all my money!"
"Your Highness, the Second Prince is now filled with remorse. If he had known that person was such a wicked and despicable devil, he certainly wouldn't have provoked him. The doctor said that the Second Prince is now paralyzed on one side, and the hope of recovery is slim. He will have to spend the rest of his life lying in bed," Qing Sang advised.
"We've investigated that person's background thoroughly and confirmed that it wasn't someone instigating him." Consort Jia simply couldn't believe that Li Cang's accident at this critical juncture was a coincidence.
Qing Sang knew that Consort Jia trusted Ting Lan the most, so she had no choice but to bring her up: "Your Highness, we are sure it's not true. We have checked five or six times. Although we have new clues each time, they can only prove that the man is indeed a complete scoundrel. He has been imprisoned many times for stealing chickens and dogs and bullying his neighbors."
Upon hearing this, Consort Jia felt a surge of resentment welling up inside her, unable to vent her anger and frustration.
"Your Highness, why don't we discuss this with His Highness the Crown Prince? Perhaps we could borrow some people from him..." Rongju suggested.
"No! We absolutely cannot drag the eldest prince into this for such a trivial matter. We have to deal with that bandit ourselves." Consort Jia gritted her teeth, her sharp nails grinding her palms raw. "Pawn part of my dowry and go to Donglongmen to buy a few top-notch assassins. I want that bandit to stay at the Summer Palace forever!"
