Chapter 378: The Chivalrous Woman and the Romantic Young Prince (12)
Su Shijing rolled his eyes at Lao Si and said, "What do you mean by wife-killing? The first princess of the county did die of illness.
The second one eloped with someone else, and as for the third one, I think it only took a few days, but he didn’t die of illness, he was poisoned.”
"Oh, third brother, you know so much!" The second brother looked at Su Shijing in surprise.
Su Shijing smiled complacently: "Of course, don't you see what I do?"
"Haha, in that case, why don't we just take advantage of their trick?" Bai Yuheng suddenly had an idea and said excitedly,
"Let Junior Sister marry him. After the wedding, we will beat him up first and then lock him up. In the future, Junior Sister will give birth to a little prince.
In this way, the entire Jiangzhou Prefecture will belong to us, right?
Big Brother, you are the next leader of the martial arts world!
Second Brother, your auction house and those restaurants and cloth shops will definitely be extremely popular!
And third brother, you will no longer have trouble finding buyers for your hidden weapons, hahahaha!
And I will have them hand over all my countless martial arts secrets to us!" Bai Yuheng became more and more excited as he spoke, his voice getting louder and louder.
The three of them shook their heads at Bai Yuheng who was still daydreaming. Pei Yong said helplessly, "Fourth Junior Brother, go to bed."
"Ah? Oh, okay then..."
However, Su Shijing still went to his junior sister and told her some of the latest things he had found out.
On the morning of the third day, the sun was shining and the air was fresh.
Bailing and Huang Ying came running over, their faces full of anger: "Miss, the carriage of the Prince's Mansion has stopped at our door again! They said they were here to pick you up for an outing."
Yan Xue rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "No! Just say I'm sick because of the climate here."
Huang Ying and the other person complained angrily, "Miss, I have long disliked the Prince of Xiping. His lecherous look is really annoying."
"Yeah, that's too much!" Bai Ling agreed.
Half an hour later, Bai Ling hurried back to report: "Miss, the Xiping County Prince has come with the palace doctor from their County Prince's Mansion, saying that he wants to treat you."
Yan Xue felt annoyed. Will this man ever stop? But she hesitated when she thought of what her third senior brother said yesterday.
At this moment, Bai Yuheng came over and asked with concern: "Junior Sister, if you don't want to go, I can help you beat him out."
Yan Xue immediately glared at the fourth senior brother and said unhappily, "He is a prince, and we are just ordinary people. We cannot offend him."
Yan Xue thought for a moment and said to Bai Ling, "Go tell him I'm going for an outing."
Bai Ling pouted after hearing this, but still responded, "Yes, Miss."
Yan Xue quickly changed into a riding outfit, looking heroic. After putting on a veil, she led out her horse and walked out of the mansion with a clatter.
Duanmu Ci, who was waiting outside the door, saw it and his eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
Yan Xue frowned and muttered to herself: Why is this guy riding a horse today?
All I heard was the man saying in a greasy voice: "Miss Yan, we two are so in tune with each other!"
Yan Xue twitched her lips and replied perfunctorily: "As long as you like it."
The two men rode out together. Duanmu Ci looked at the carriage following behind him and didn't pay much attention.
Along the way, the people saw the Prince of Xiping and made way for him.
"Isn't that the prince?"
"Yeah, who is that person next to the prince? I've never seen him before."
"Let me tell you, that is the daughter of the former Wulin leader, Leader Yan."
"Oh, so she is Alliance Leader Yan's daughter! Alliance Leader Yan is a very good person."
"Yes, our hometown suffered a disaster last year, and Alliance Leader Yan happened to be passing by there on business, and he bought 50 dan of grain for our village, so that our villagers did not starve to death."
"I've also heard that Alliance Leader Yan has set up more than a dozen Ci'an Bureaus. He takes in all the unwanted children and raises them. He's really a good man."
"Oh my god, there are really few people like this nowadays..."
"I didn't expect that his daughter would be favored by the Prince of Xiping. This is really a flower stuck in cow dung!"
"Hey, stop talking. We ordinary people should be careful to avoid getting into trouble."
Duanmu Ci was an expert in martial arts and had sharp eyes and ears, so naturally he also heard what the people were talking about.
He straightened his back, feeling somewhat unconvinced. How could he, such a handsome and suave man, become like cow dung?
Qin Yu shrugged his shoulders and complained in his heart, "Prince, you only know your reputation now?"
The two came to the Xi River outside the city. It was May and the weather was getting hot.
The sun shines on the ground, creating a hot atmosphere, but the riverside remains cool.
The breeze blows across the water, creating ripples, which makes people feel very comfortable.
When the two stood under the big willow tree, Yan Xue only felt the cool breeze blowing on her face, bringing a comfortable feeling.
Duanmu Ci looked at four maids getting off the carriage following behind, and they were busy moving things out of the carriage.
Seeing the girl get off the horse, he hurriedly got off and followed the girl to the river.
Yan Xue looked at the scenery by the river. The water was so clear that you could see the bottom. You could see fish playing in the water. The river bank was lined with weeping willows, and the branches were swaying in the wind.
The two of them strolled along the river. Yan Xue felt very comfortable. She smiled and said to Duanmu Ci, "It's so beautiful here!"
Duanmu Ci walked side by side with the girl. After hearing the girl's praise, he turned to look at her. He saw that the girl's face was flushed because of the activity.
There was a little moisture on his small dome-shaped nose, and his lips looked even redder due to dryness, while the girl's subtle fragrance occasionally seeped into his nostrils.
He snorted, "Haha, this place is really beautiful."
Qin Yu who was following behind him said, "Prince, you are usually very talkative, but you fail at the critical moment."
The two of them walked around and returned to the big willow tree.
At this time, Duanmu Ci was surprised to find that a small table and several stools had been placed under the tree at some point.
What surprised him even more was that the table was filled with various fruits and snacks, exuding an enticing aroma.
"Did you prepare all these?" Duanmu Ci asked curiously.
Yan Xue smiled and nodded, "Last time you treated me to a meal, today I'll treat you to tea."
The two of them slowly walked to the table and sat down. At this time, the teapot on the red clay stove was bubbling.
The maid beside her skillfully picked up the tea leaves, put them into the teapot gracefully, then gently lifted the kettle and slowly poured in hot water.
The whole process was as natural and smooth as flowing water, and it was obvious that she had received professional training.
Duanmu Ci stared intently at the teapot boiling water and the teacups placed on the table, all of which were top-quality products.
At this moment, a faint scent of tea gradually spread and filled the air.
Duanmu Ci sniffed and was surprised to find that this was actually the best Dahongpao!
This kind of tea is extremely precious, and one ounce of it costs one ounce of gold.
Only when his father was alive did he have the opportunity to occasionally taste such good tea.
Although he was a prince, his life was not actually rich because his father always advocated frugality and he had to support the Black Armor Army.
