Breaking in
He rebelled!
Xie Nanjia handed the child to Xiu'er's mother and went to see her with Xiao Xizi. Sure enough, they heard Zhao Jingyu banging on the door outside and shouting, "Open the door, or I'll hit you!"
Feng Lun leaned against the door with his hands folded, ignoring his threats.
Xie Nanjia walked over, opened the door, and looked at him coldly.
Zhao Jingyu still had one hand raised high, but when he saw her suddenly open the door, he was so scared that he took a step back.
"Xiu'er..." He called her with a smile, "Why are you getting more and more impatient?"
Xie Nanjia snorted coldly: "I've been tricked into marriage, how can I not be anxious?"
Zhao Jingyu: “…”
"Look at what you said. Am I that kind of person?" He laughed awkwardly. "I swear to God, I really had no idea about the child marriage. I was only eight years old when I came to the capital. I even forgot what Yun Shu looked like. I don't even know if this Yun Shu is real or fake. You believe me."
"I don't know whether it's true or not, but he lets people live in his house and calls him "little good brother" all the time?" Xie Nanjia said.
"I didn't let her scream, she insisted on screaming. Besides, she was brought back by my father, and I didn't know it before!" Zhao Jingyu died unjustly.
"I don't care, this is your own business." Xie Nanjia said, "Anyway, I don't want to see you again before this matter is handled. Go away!"
Zhao Jingyu: “…”
This is my home, where should I go
"If you don't leave, I will." Xie Nanjia raised her leg and walked away.
"No, no, no, I'm leaving. Can't I just leave?" Zhao Jingyu stopped her hurriedly. "You've finally come here. Have a good talk with the fourth sister and the others. I won't bother you anymore. I promise you that I will resolve this matter as soon as possible."
Xie Nanjia said nothing more and watched him leave coldly.
Zhao Jingyu returned to the west wing dejectedly, pulling his hair out in worry.
Yiyun poured him a cup of tea and asked, "What happened to the Second Young Master?"
Zhao Jingyu told Yiyun about the matter with a sad face and asked her for advice: "You are all girls, can you teach me what to do?"
Yiyun: "Miss Xiu'er is different from other girls. We maids don't understand her thoughts. Second Master, why don't you ask Young Master Cheng? Isn't he the one who knows the most about this kind of thing?"
"Cheng Zhiye?" Zhao Jingyu's eyes lit up. "You're right. That guy is not good at other things, but he knows everything about this kind of thing. Wei Jun, go and get Cheng Zhiye for me."
"Let me go. Wei Jun's face was scratched by Miss Yunshu, and she is applying medicine in the room!" Huangfu came in from outside and said.
"…" Zhao Jingyu was stunned, "Could it be that she knows martial arts?"
Looking across the Great Zhou, there are not many people who can hurt Wei Jun. This girl was able to scratch Wei Jun's face. She must be a fake.
Because Yun Shu really doesn’t know martial arts.
"Great, I finally found evidence that she's a fake." Zhao Jingyu was very happy, "I'll let her go now."
"But Second Young Master, it's natural for girls to scratch people, just like kittens. This doesn't mean anything." Huangfu said.
"Really?" Zhao Jingyu questioned, "Why haven't I seen a girl who tickles others?"
"That's because you are the second young master. Girls put away their claws when they see you." Yiyun said with a smile.
“…” Zhao Jingyu sat back down in disappointment and waved his hand, asking Huangfu to go find Cheng Zhiye.
After Huangfu left, he asked Yiyun again: "Do you think Miss Xiu'er would tickle people?"
Yiyun thought for a moment and said, "Of course she will, but Miss Xiu'er probably won't be ashamed to use this method. After all, she can scare people just by talking."
"You're right." Zhao Jingyu said, "She doesn't even need to move her mouth. Just a sidelong glance at me from her eyes is enough to send chills down my spine."
Yiyun chuckled: "Second Master, you are henpecked."
Zhao Jingyu: “…”
Cheng Zhiye came quickly, wearing a flashy peach pink dress with a pink peony flower pinned on his hair. He walked into the room in a playful manner and asked Zhao Jingyu as soon as he opened his mouth: "Tell me, where are you going to play today?"
Huangfu didn't tell him what it was about, and he thought Zhao Jingyu wanted to ask him out for a drink.
Zhao Jingyu looked him up and down with contempt: "You are dressed more seductively than the girls in the brothel. Are you teasing them or are they teasing you?"
Cheng Zhiye was not ashamed, but proud. He turned around and said, "How is it? It looks good, right? I dressed it up carefully. You will lose your freedom soon, so I have to play with you for once!"
Zhao Jingyu: "… What the hell, I'm so worried, how can I have the mood to play?"
"What are you worried about?" Cheng Zhiye was stunned for a moment, then sat down opposite him. Without waiting for Zhao Jingyu to speak, he raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, don't say anything yet, let me guess, um, could it be that Xiu'er knew about your childhood sweetheart?"
Zhao Jingyu: “…”
As soon as Cheng Zhiye saw his expression, he knew that he had guessed right and felt very proud of his own intelligence.
"Has Xiu'er come? Did they meet?" he asked again.
"Yeah." Zhao Jingyu nodded.
"Oh my God, this is so exciting. Tell me quickly, did they fight?" Cheng Zhiye rubbed his hands excitedly.
Zhao Jingyu: "... I didn't ask you to come here to listen to the opera."
"I know, but you have to let me know the situation!" Cheng Zhiye's eyes lit up.
"There was no fight." Zhao Jingyu had no choice but to tell him the whole story depressedly.
"Ah, they didn't fight? Miss Xiu'er is really well-mannered." Cheng Zhiye smacked his lips in disappointment, "But that little childhood sweetheart is really brave. She didn't even bother to find out who her opponent is, and just went to provoke him."
"So what do you think I should do?" Zhao Jingyu asked sincerely.
Seeing him like that, Cheng Zhiye couldn't help but want to tease him: "What's the difficulty? Anyway, you will have many wives and concubines in the future. Xiu'er will be the eldest and Qingmei will be the youngest. Isn't that the problem?"
"Who are you? Why do you want me to be your mistress?" A figure flashed outside the door, and Yun Shu suddenly rushed in. He ran to Cheng Zhiye in two steps and three steps, and yelled at him, "You said I was a ruthless person, but you are the one who is ruthless. What kind of man are you if you say bad things about others behind their backs?"
After yelling, she looked at Cheng Zhiye seriously and immediately frowned in disgust: "He doesn't seem to be a man at all. He dresses so fancy. Could he be a eunuch?"
"Hey, how can you talk like that? Who is not a man?" Cheng Zhiye suddenly got angry and said, "What are you doing with your big eyes? If you don't want them, just take them out and feed them to the dogs. I am a man who stands tall and proud, and you dare to say that I am a eunuch!"
"What kind of man would dress like you and wear flowers? Why don't you put on some rouge?" Yun Shu replied without showing any weakness.
"I..." Cheng Zhiye wanted to say that it's not like I haven't wiped it before, but he held the words back as soon as they came out of his mouth. If he really said it, he might be regarded as a eunuch by this little girl.
No wonder the little girl dared to confront Xiu'er head-on, it seems she is really not a vegetarian.
"What do you know when you come from such a small place? Wearing flowers is a custom in the capital. Both men and women can wear them, okay?" he explained gloomily.
In fact, he didn't need to explain to a little girl, but he really didn't want to be regarded as a eunuch.
Yun Shu curled her lips: "Then why doesn't my little brother wear it?"
"He is so handsome, does he need to wear flowers?" Cheng Zhiye said unhappily.
"Oh." Yun Shu suddenly realized, "So you wear it because you are ugly."
"You..." Cheng Zhiye was so angry that his face turned pale, "Who are you calling ugly?"
"I'm talking about you. You're ugly, you're ugly, you're as ugly as a big monkey!" Yun Shu kept saying, sticking out her tongue and yelling at him, "Lululu, ugly bastard..."
"..." Zhao Jingyu had a headache and looked at Yiyun in annoyance, "Look at what bad idea you came up with."
Evian: “…”
I didn’t know it would be like this!
How could Young Master Cheng, who is such a good-tempered person, get into a fight with a little girl
Seeing the two of them arguing fiercely, Zhao Jingyu had no choice but to let Huangfu send Cheng Zhiye away. Seeing how angry he was, he probably had no good way to deal with Yun Shu, so he had to ask for help from someone else.
Cheng Zhiye left angrily with a belly full of anger. Before leaving, he pulled off the peony flowers on his temples and threw them at Yun Shu: "I was wrong just now. You can't be a mistress. A tigress like you is only fit to be an old maid!"
"That's better than being an old eunuch!" Yun Shu retorted.
“…” Cheng Zhiye gritted his teeth, and adhering to the principle that a good man does not fight with a woman, he could only swallow his anger and left without looking back.
Yun Shu put her hands on her waist and panted. When she regained her breath, she asked Zhao Jingyu, "Brother Xiaoguai, why would you make friends with someone like that?"
Zhao Jingyu said coldly, "First, don't call me little brother anymore. Second, it's not your turn to question my friends. Third, don't come to the West Wing without my permission. This is the last time."
"..." Yun Shu's anger at Cheng Zhiye just now disappeared instantly. Facing Zhao Jingyu's cold face, he nodded weakly, "Oh, I see."
Zhao Jingyu winked at Yiyun, indicating her to take the person out.
Yiyun understood, so she took Yunshu's hand and walked her out of the west wing.
On the way, Yiyun gave her some appropriate advice: "Miss Yun, you also know the true identity of our second son. He is now the crown prince of the dynasty, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. He just hasn't been officially canonized yet, so he is temporarily living in the Marquis' Mansion. So you can no longer treat him as your childhood playmate. You must be polite and respectful in front of him. Otherwise, your actions may be heard by the emperor one day, and then you won't be able to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, let alone in the capital. Do you understand?"
Yun Shu was really frightened by her and didn't say anything for a long time. It was not until they were out of the gate of the west wing that she whispered, "Will the emperor chase me away even though I have an engagement?"
Yiyun stopped at the threshold and said, "Your engagement means nothing in front of the imperial decree. Besides, this is just your one-sided statement. The Second Young Master doesn't know anything about it."
"But I didn't lie." Yun Shu said sadly, "I'm already homeless, Xiaoguai... If the Second Young Master doesn't want me, I can only die."
Yiyun felt sorry for her again and sighed, "You can see that the second young master only has Miss Xiu'er in his heart. He can't give up Miss Xiu'er for you. Even if he is willing, the emperor won't agree!"
"I know that Miss Xiu'er is a girl with a phoenix destiny." Yun Shu said pitifully, "Can't I be her mistress?"
Evian: “…”
This girl had just had a huge fight with Young Master Cheng about this matter, but now she took the initiative to offer to be a mistress. But even if she wants to be a mistress, she has to get Xiu'er's consent. If Xiu'er doesn't agree, not only the Second Young Master, but also the Emperor will have to obey her.
"Only Miss Xiu'er has the final say on this matter. It's not for me to say anything." She didn't want to hurt the little girl's feelings too much, so she replied vaguely.
She thought that the little girl was smart and would give up if she went back and thought about it carefully. However, Yun Shu did not act according to common sense and actually ran directly to find Xie Nanjia.
Xie Nanjia talked for a long time with Zhao Lanzhi's fourth concubine in the Green Willow Painting Tower in the Sijin Courtyard. As it was almost noon, the old lady sent someone to invite her to have lunch at Ci'an Residence. Xie Nanjia was afraid that the old lady would help Zhao Jingyu to make a match, so she declined her invitation and went home with Xie Nanfeng.
She completely believed Zhao Jingyu's explanation, but she hoped that Zhao Jingyu could handle Yunshu's affairs on his own and not let others do it, because they would face many similar problems in the future, and she wanted to see Zhao Jingyu's attitude and ability.
If Zhao Jingyu is indecisive about Yunshu, she may be indecisive in front of other women in the future. There are many officials in the court who want to send their daughters to the palace, and the censors will also force the emperor to select concubines to fill the harem. Zhao Jingyu's attitude is directly related to whether her future life will be easy or difficult, so she cannot compromise easily.
Thinking of this, she said goodbye to everyone and left with Xie Nanfeng.
She and Xie Nanfeng had separated in Ci'anju before. Xie Nanfeng said that he was going to Sijinyuan to see his children. When she went to Sijinyuan, Xie Nanfeng was not there.
At that time, she was only concerned with being intimate with the child and didn't pay much attention to it. Later, when Zhao Jingyu made a fuss, she was busy talking to Lvliu and the others and completely forgot about Xie Nanfeng.
But when she was about to leave, Xie Nanfeng appeared out of nowhere.
There were many people around at the time and she didn't ask. When the two of them were saying goodbye to everyone at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, Yun Shu suddenly chased out. When Xie Nanfeng saw Yun Shu, his face changed and he whispered, "Oh no, did she find out?"
"What did you find?" Xie Nanjia asked puzzledly.
Xie Nanfeng leaned close to her ear and said, "I stole the girl's engagement and jade ring."
"..." Xie Nanjia was shocked, "Are you crazy? Why did you steal that thing?"
"I want to find someone to see if it's a forgery." Xie Nanfeng said, "That's how the Jinping County Lady cheated people back then."
Xie Nanjia: “…”
This child is really doing more harm than good. Now that she's been discovered and is about to be told in front of so many people, how can she put her face down
This is really cheap.
Xie Nanfeng was also a little panicked and stared at Yun Shu nervously.
Unexpectedly, Yun Shu ran straight to Xie Nanjia and asked bluntly, "You are the boss and I am the junior. Do you agree?"
