Chapter 8 Taking advantage of the situation
Chapter 8 Taking advantage of the situation
Moreover, and most importantly, the Crown Prince doesn't respect Your Majesty at all! This marriage was bestowed by Your Majesty's own decree.
Old Master Jun wiped away non-existent tears, "Even if the engagement is to be dissolved, His Majesty should issue the decree himself!"
"The Crown Prince is becoming more and more audacious!" Emperor Sikong slammed his hand on the table. "Who gave him the audacity! My dear minister, is Liuyue alright? I heard she went missing in the Wuwang Mountains, and I'm extremely worried about her."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Liuyue is very fortunate to have survived. However, the Crown Prince's actions are truly disheartening! Liuyue has already fainted and will need many good medicinal herbs to recover. I heard that Your Majesty recently acquired a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum..."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Sikong's lips twitched. This old bastard was waiting for him here.
"My dear minister, please just tell me what medicinal herbs Liuyue needs."
"The Southern Spirit Pearl is also very beneficial to Liu Yue's recovery."
Jun Tianlan looked up. "Your Majesty, you won't be reluctant to part with it, will you?"
"Of course not!" Emperor Sikong shook his head casually. "Liu Yue will be my daughter-in-law in the future, what is this little thing?"
In the end, the old man made a fortune from his trip to the palace.
Emperor Sikong nearly vomited blood. After the old man left, he slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed, "That old bastard is taking advantage of our misfortune!"
"Your Majesty, Jun Tianlan has gone too far!" Mu Shen said indignantly.
"Judging from his aura, he is not suffering from qi deviation at all. On the contrary, his aura is even more powerful than before." Empress Sikong gritted her teeth. Could it be that Jun Tianlan not only did not suffer from qi deviation, but also broke through!
"It seems we can't touch the Jun family for now!"
……
Chaoyue Pavilion.
"That good-for-nothing? I heard he's already dead in the Wuwang Mountains!"
"Impossible! The young lady couldn't be dead!"
In the courtyard, a maid in green was pressed to the ground. In the dead of winter, her hands were covered with chilblains. A maid in maroon stepped on her hands.
The frostbite was instantly crushed.
The maid in green screamed, "Hongyu, you cursed the young lady! If the head of the family finds out, he will not let you go!"
"How would the patriarch know? I've also heard that the patriarch has gone mad and probably won't live much longer. How could he possibly care about the affairs of Chaoyue Pavilion? Once Young Master Chengfeng participates in the family competition and becomes a candidate for the next patriarch, Miss Yishui will be the rightful eldest daughter of the Jun family."
Hongyu grabbed the green-clad maid's chin: "That good-for-nothing is not worthy of the title of Miss Jun! Green Luo, you are really stupid! When that good-for-nothing was around, he didn't treat you well at all, yet you were still devoted to him. You are such an idiot."
"That's right, that's right, our Sister Hongyu is amazing! She knew from the beginning that Miss Yishui was a chosen one."
The other two maids flattered her, helping Hongyu to hold down the green-clad maid on the ground.
“We are all servants of the Jun family, and we should be loyal to the Jun family. You three ungrateful wretches.”
Hongyu raised her hand, "You're asking for death!"
Just as the hand was about to land on Green Ivy's face, bang!
Hongyu's body followed a perfect parabola in mid-air, crashing heavily into the wall before rolling to the ground, seeing stars.
"M-Miss," the maid who was holding down Green Ivy stammered, unable to believe her eyes.
"Your Majesty!"
The girl's imposing voice rang out, and the two maids immediately released Green Ivy and knelt on the ground.
The next second, I was shocked. When did this useless young lady become so intimidating?
Are they imagining things?
"Miss, Miss." Green Ivy withdrew her hand, tears welling up in her eyes. It's good that Miss is alright. It's good that Miss is alright.
Liu Yue glanced at Luo Luo, whose hands were covered in chilblains. At sixteen years old, she looked like she was twelve or thirteen.
This formed a stark contrast with the other three maids.
"Miss, what are you doing! I was just helping you discipline the maid, how could you..." Hongyu didn't know why Jun Liuyue had returned alive and well, so she immediately used her old tricks: "If His Highness the Crown Prince knew that you were being so unreasonable, he would definitely... Ah!"
She hasn't finished speaking yet.
Jun Liuyue moved like lightning, and the hairpin in her hand had already pierced Hongyu's neck.
Ah! Her voice stopped abruptly, her pupils widened. Impossible, how could she die at the hands of that good-for-nothing Jun Liuyue?
Liuyue wiped her hands with the hem of her skirt, as if they had been stained with something dirty.
The other two maids were stunned. Hongyu was dead, really dead, right under their noses.
"Miss."
"Hongyu made us do it. Hongyu is Miss Yishui's woman, and we dare not disobey! If we did, Hongyu would kill us!"
The two maids trembled and pleaded, "Please, Miss, give us a chance. We will never dare to do it again. Even if you gave us a hundred lives, we would never dare to do it again."
They were truly terrified. Was this still the same cowardly and incompetent young lady? In an instant, she killed.
"Guards, beat these two traitorous maids to death with sticks!"
Jun Liuyue loosened her skirt and gave a cold order.
The old man had been secretly sending people to protect the original owner, but the original owner trusted Jun Chengfeng too much and only allowed Jun Chengfeng to protect her.
But after this incident, the old man insisted on sending two guards to protect her in secret.
"No! We'll never do it again! Waaah, Miss..."
The maid's voice faded into the distance.
"Miss."
"Are you afraid of me?"
"No, not afraid."
"If you're not afraid, why don't you dare look up at me?" The girl raised an eyebrow.
"This servant dares not offend Miss." Green Ivy lowered her head, her shoulders trembling.
Of all the people in Chaoyue Pavilion, only Green Ivy was truly sincere towards the original owner, but the original owner believed Luo Yishui's words.
Why didn't you say anything when they bullied you?
"This servant doesn't want to cause trouble for Miss. It's already very kind of Miss to take me in," Green Ivy said timidly.
Her life belongs to the young lady; she'll do anything as long as the young lady is happy.
If she hadn't been a little beggar, she would have already been sold and would be a slave by now, her fate unknown.
“From today onwards, you no longer need to do this dirty and tiring work. You can just take care of the work that Hongyu used to do.” Liuyue’s gaze fell on Green Ivy’s hands, which were covered with chilblains.
He took out a bottle of ointment: "Take it twice a day, morning and evening, and it should be better in three days."
“Miss, this is too precious. This servant…this servant is not worthy of it.”
The green ivy was flattered and suddenly raised its head.
"I don't like nagging maids. If they keep nagging, they can get out of Chaoyue Pavilion."
After saying that, Liuyue turned and entered Chaoyue Pavilion.
A cold wind blew, and Green Ivy shivered as she held the ointment in her hands.
Can't believe this is true.
"This servant thanks you, Miss." Green Luo realized what was happening and quickly kowtowed twice.
-
The moment the girl stepped into Chaoyue Pavilion, a chilling aura rushed towards her, and she dodged to the side.
But the next second, Jun Liuyue's arm was grabbed by a hand as cold as ice, not like that of a living person.
In the darkness, unable to see the man's face, Jun Liuyue remained calm and composed. Instead, she used his strength to step onto the wall and lift herself into the air.
It flew over the man's head, and in mid-air, with the help of the moonlight from the window, met a pair of golden eyes. Liu Yue's heart skipped a beat.
It's that man from the cave!
Yin Ming reached out and put his arm around her waist, but Liu Yue dodged to the side and then quickly grabbed his neck.
