Chapter 10 See Him Off
Yang Zijin stared at Shi Weiming's eyes. How can she believe that a prince will fall in love with her!
Never!
"So, go back to the mansion of Duke Mu." Shi Weiming held tight to Yang Zijin's hand with a mild smile.
Pop!
Yang Zijin slapped his hand to let his hand go and said unpleasantly, "Though we used to take each other as brothers and drink together, it does not mean we are close enough to be so intimate."
"Zijin..."
"Your Highness, please go. Spring Breeze is not a good place." Although Yang Zijin was not a person of high status, she still had a certain air of arrogance.
Shi Weiming smiled and sat closer to her, "Zijin, don't you believe that I will be nice to you? I already knew you are a girl long ago, and I admired you deeply since years ago."
His words were so touching at first sight.
"Oh." Yang Zijin lazily tidied her robe and said, "Your Highness, how do you think a person like me can marry your royal family?"
"I can always get anything I want." Shi Weiming smiled again.
Yang Zijin narrowed her eyes slightly, "Well, you can have a try!"
"Zijin, you mean...."
"I hope you didn't misunderstand my words. I have no obsession with the royal honor, but..."
Shi Weiming looked a little unpleasant. He quickly asked, "What?"
"If anyone harms people in Spring Breeze, I will destroy him." Yang Zijin spit out these words one by one, and then chuckled wildly, "Wufu, Lu'an, see him off!"
Watching him walk out of the door, Yang Zijin looked severe. She walked to the shelf and took out the pen and ink, which were prepared for guests to write poetry, and quickly wrote a letter.
"Qibao."
"Young Master." A smart servant who was short and thin ran into the room.
Yang Zijin sealed the letter with wax, and then took off her pouch and handed them to Qibao.
She said, "Ride a horse to get out of the city quickly. Hand over them to my elder brother. Then go to Yangdu to find my elder sister Lin in Moonlight, and told her that it is time to visit the vast Jing City."
"Okay." Qibao promised, but pouted, "Young Master, elder sister Lin is a bold and vigorous girl. In case she opens another Moonlight here, won't she be our competitor?"
Yang Zijin smiled mysteriously, "You don't understand. The cake is too big. It will be more delicious to have someone to share."
Qibao sighed slightly and went obediently.
Yang Zijin's eyebrows were slightly downcast. She began to make a living in this complex society since she was a little girl, so she used to meet a lot of people. If it had not been for Duchess Mu' suddenly come over to swagger before her this time, she would not have asked for these people for help.
Qibao, Wufu, and Lu'an were all poor men who had been saved by Yang Zijin. Though they were timid, they were loyal. Her sworn elder brother and elder sister Lin were also people who valued friendship and righteousness. These were people she could trust.
On the contrary, people in Spring Breeze, like Linglong, had their own thoughts, which could make things worse.
Moreover, her identity was revealed now, so she had to change the business model of Spring Breeze. Otherwise, for the particular circumstance she was facing, she could do nothing but being captured by others easily. That would be too passive.
She only hoped that the days to come would not be as bloody as she thought.
While she was thinking, Shuo Ling, who had already dressed up, came, "You are so bold. How dare you keep me waiting in the backyard?"
"My Lord, Spring Breeze is not a decent place. You'd better go." Yang Zijin became audacious after getting angry in front of His Highness.
Shuo Ling was leaning against the door frame. He looked at Yang Zijin, who was sitting in a leisurely manner to make tea.
"Can't you get another tea set?" Shuo Ling showed his dislike.
Yang Zijin laughed at his words, "My Lord, this is Spring Breeze. It is a whorehouse. How can another set be clean?"
After saying that, Yang Zijin teased him on a whim, "Wow... very nice!" She intentionally tasted the tea with a satisfied expression.
Shuo Ling was angry. He looked at Yang Zijin. Her naughty behavior made him want to take advantage of her, but she just unexpectedly drank tea with the teacup that others had used....
"Go to my mansion at 19:45."
Yang Zijin refused without thinking, "No!"
Shuo ling sneered, "If you don't come, I will burn Spring Breeze."
"..." Yang Zijin's eyes twitched, "Fine. I will go."
Shuo Ling laughed and left gladly. Yang Zijin stayed in the room with resentment.
Soon, Madam Yang, Chazi, and others came upstairs. They anxiously stood around her and insisted on having a look at her wound.
"It doesn't matter. I will go to Uncle Liu's drugstore in the east of the city to get some medicinal liquor. I will be better after rubbing the wound with it." Yang Zijin hurriedly covered her chest. It was strange that she unexpectedly felt better after getting annoyed.
She didn't know that Shuo Ling hadn't kicked her with all his strength. He didn't intend to kill her.
"Zijin, we are family. You don't need to be so courteous." Chazi grumbled, "Don't you like me?"
Yang Zijin gave a hollow laugh, "How is it possible? But I have something more important to say with you."
