After the Duchess fainted, the Duke of Chen, not believing in such an event, took the booklet and read it several more times. He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and almost fainted.
This booklet was made in duplicate, and both copies were signed and sealed by Ji Fengyao when she came to say goodbye. They couldn't even forge another copy.
They also had no evidence to prove that Ji Fengyao and her group took those things!
It was taken back from the Duke's mansion, so it can be considered ill-gotten gains.
After Ji Fengyao, Ji Fengming, Hei Xiao, and Xi Que each received one-tenth of the money, half of the remaining amount was used by Ji Fengming to help the poor, and the other half was given to Shang Xiye as military pay.
It can be said that they have upheld the principles of Vulture Stronghold: to rob the rich and help the poor, and to use ill-gotten gains to do righteous things.
In the middle of the night, a scout from the Ninth Prince's mansion returned to report on the situation at the Duke's mansion, making Ji Fengyao laugh so hard she almost fell over: "Let that old bastard brag to me on the boat to Tongyou about all the good stuff his family has. If there's a next time, she won't just vomit blood, I'll make her vomit her liver!"
The scout shuddered upon hearing this.
Their Ninth Princess and Prince are truly a match made in heaven, both so vengeful.
To have endured the events of when he went to Tongyou until now to seek revenge is truly remarkable.
If it weren't for their differing stances, he would have liked to remind the poor old lady of the Duke's family that she must never act recklessly in front of his princess in the future. That would be like showing off one's skills in front of Guan Yu, only to invite humiliation.
"Princess, please come to the palace with me first thing tomorrow morning," Shang Xiye said softly, dismissing the spies and looking at his beautiful and radiant wife under the candlelight.
Ji Fengyao packed up her needle case, tilted her head slightly, and replied, "Alright, as the villain, I should be the one to complain first."
"Box..." Shang Xiye couldn't help but chuckle. How could his little wife be so smart and so adorable?
The only pity is that all her intelligence seems to be used in scheming against others, while she is very slow to understand emotions.
Why was she so determined to treat him as an ally, unable to change her identity?
Shang Xiye was utterly helpless.
Ji Fengyao was also quite helpless. Heaven knows how many times she had to silently repeat "I will be expelled from the sect" while she was in his arms, facing his teasing, before she could suppress the urge to retaliate against him.
"Master, this test is really too much," Ji Fengyao muttered, finally falling into a sweet dream while holding the prince.
Since the public humiliation, no one paid any attention to Mi Jiang'er. Even the maids and servants at the inn no longer regarded her as their mistress.
Everyone knows that Mi Jiang'er is finished.
Although the Prince's Mansion did not cut off the expenses of Hui Xiang Guan, no one would care about the life or death of the person who stayed at Hui Xiang Guan anymore. So they were carefree and indulged in eating, drinking and merrymaking every day, and no one even bothered to cook a cup of tea for Mi Jiang'er.
Tonight.
Starving and with her stomach burning like fire, Mi Jiang'er finally couldn't take it anymore.
Why did she end up like this, while those who are even more ruthless and vicious than her are still living well?
She once said that since everyone was a spy, they should die together. She didn't have Bai Rumei's kind heart or magnanimity!
Mi Jiang'er concealed a knife in her sleeve and muttered to herself, "Don't stop me. I'm not going to find that bandit. I know the prince favors her now, so I won't take her down with me."
The hidden guards, lurking in the grass, exchanged bewildered glances.
Has the Third Madam gone insane or lost her mind?
But as long as she doesn't cause trouble for the prince and princess, no one really cares about her.
