Chapter 293 We are brothers
Xiao Mo sat in a wheelchair and looked at Ye Jintang with a smile. He liked the way she asked questions.
"With so many of us, we will definitely need a lot of poison. If Yao Zhen is the only one making it, I'm afraid it will be too late. Besides, there are no good places for ambush in Jianing City."
"Besides, the carriage needs to be repaired in the city. They can only poison us in the inn, but my guards are not vegetarians."
"It's different in Luojiu City. We won't go into the city to hurry. Even if we want to see a shop, we'll just take a look and leave."
"Besides, starting from Luojiu City, the official road will become extremely difficult to travel, and our speed will also decrease. There are mountains and forests all around, so it will be very easy to ambush us."
"If that's the case, Zhou Quankun will definitely not take the risk of taking action in Jianing City."
Ye Jintang admired Xiao Mo very much. He knew by heart the route they were going to take, and could even guess 70% of Zhou Quankun's plan. With such a meticulous mind, it would be difficult for him not to become an emperor in the future.
It was past noon when the carriage team entered Jianing City. Ye Jintang was a little hungry. She didn't wait for Xiao Mo to ask Lu Zhu to come and go to the kitchen to cook her a bowl of noodles to fill her stomach.
Duan Linghui somehow found out about this. When she finished her noodles and wanted to go see how everyone was cleaning up, she happened to pass by Xiao Mo's study and heard Duan Linghui's voice coming from inside.
"My Lord, I see that you don't have anyone to take care of you, so how about I give you two beautiful concubines?"
"Just now I heard from General Yu that there is a Yirenfang in Jianing City. The women there are all as beautiful as fairies. We will go there this afternoon to see what's going on. When the time comes, just tell me which one you like."
"I'll use the silver to redeem him and give him to the prince."
Duan Linghui's voice was full of laughter, and it sounded like she was joking, but Ye Jintang was sure that as long as Xiao Mo nodded, she could really send a concubine or a maid into Xiao Mo's room.
It's really ridiculous. She is a wild girl who has nothing to do with him, but she is still concerned about what happened in Xiao Mo's room. Is she overreaching?
"You little girl really dares to say anything. Duan Feng, you have to take good care of her. She even dares to go to a place like Yirenfang."
When Xiao Mo heard that Duan Linghui wanted to give him a concubine, he just found it funny.
"It was I who spoiled Linghui. That's why she always behaves like a child. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Duan Feng said words of apology, but there was no trace of guilt in his words. Instead, he was smiling, as if he felt that the matter was harmless and even quite amusing.
"Your Majesty, you are not afraid that the princess will be unhappy, so you dare not go to Yirenfang with us."
"If the princess knew that I went to Yirenfang, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to my room today."
Xiao Mo had to pester Ye Jintang to sleep in the same room with him. He didn't want to ruin such a good day just by going out for fun.
"Ah, the prince is not going to sleep in a separate room from the princess, that's too much. Today I saw the princess eating lunch by herself and not paying any attention to the prince."
"Let's go to Yirenfang. I will definitely pick a concubine for you who understands your feelings."
As she spoke, Duan Linghui walked forward and pulled Xiao Mo's arm, looking very intimate.
Ye Jintang outside the door laughed angrily. She kicked the door open and saw several generals in the room, but only Duan Linghui was a woman.
Duan Linghui's hand was still on Xiao Mo's arm.
Ye Jintang's eyes swept across her hand, and she immediately pulled her hand back feeling guilty.
"I don't know why the palace needs an outsider to give instructions on taking concubines. Miss Duan, if I remember correctly, you are not married yet."
"As an unmarried woman, visiting a brothel with a group of grown men, do you feel that you are very different and unique?"
"Then I'm telling you now. If you spread this out, your reputation will be ruined and you'll probably never get married. You can ask the young generals in the room, who among them would dare to marry a girl who visits a brothel?"
As he spoke, Ye Jintang looked at the other people in the room, and no one dared to speak.
Who doesn't want to marry a virtuous woman? As for someone like Duan Linghui, they all treat her as a brother, but have never thought of marrying her.
Looking at the reactions of the crowd, Ye Jintang thought that it was quite satisfying to use ancient magic to defeat magic. Those dogmas that she hated not only bound her, but also Duan Linghui.
Duan Linghui's eyes turned red on the spot.
"Miss Duan, why are you crying again? Just now you were still able to take the prince to visit brothels and give him a concubine. Why are you so weak now that you can't take care of yourself and look like you're being bullied?"
"I am doing this for your own good. Life is not easy for us women. You are doing something ignorant, and I am just reminding you out of kindness. If you were not General Duan's sister, I, the Princess of Qin, would not care about such trivial matters."
Ye Jintang's words were all hers, both face and substance. Even if Duan Linghui wanted to refute, she couldn't find a reason to refute, and in the end she could only cry.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. Linghui was just joking with the prince and she didn't really want to go to Yirenfang."
"She is just so carefree and doesn't act like a lady at all. Please don't take it to heart, Madam."
Duan Feng glared at Duan Linghui fiercely and quickly made excuses for her.
"This kind of joke is not something a girl should make. Being lively and confused are not the same thing."
"General Duan should hire a nanny for Miss Duan as soon as possible, otherwise General Duan's marriage may be hindered."
If any wealthy family heard that the Duan family had a girl like Duan Linghui, they would probably think carefully about whether to marry their daughter to the Duan family. It is not a good thing to have a difficult sister-in-law at home.
"Yes, I will go and find a nanny for Linghui right away."
Duan Linghui became speechless and could only cry when she saw Ye Jintang, and Duan Feng, as her brother, could only come forward and speak good words for her.
"Since the prince has important matters to discuss, this princess will not disturb you all."
Having said that, Ye Jintang turned and left.
Xiao Mo was not a fool and he could see that Ye Jintang was unhappy, so he quickly chased after him.
"Jintang, we were discussing matters in the study today and did not invite Linghui over. She went to see Duan Feng and stayed to talk to him."
Ye Jintang, who was walking in front with big strides, didn't listen to Xiao Mo's explanation at all. Duan Linghui was a person without rules, and Xiao Mo was not much better than her.
Does this mean that from now on anyone can enter the palace's study room?
Or does it mean that from now on, any girl can touch Xiao Mo's shoulders if they want.
Xiao Mo immediately became anxious when he saw Ye Jintang didn't say anything.
He knew her too well. If she questioned him loudly, maybe she was not really angry, but just felt unhappy.
But if she doesn't say anything, it means that the matter has become serious.
Ye Jintang was too lazy to argue with Xiao Mo, so before entering the house, she stood at the door blocking his way.
"Think about it yourself and see what went wrong."
"I don't really want to talk to you now. You're a bit of a fool, and I don't like dealing with fools."
"And don't forget the promise you made to me, you won't have concubines in your backyard."
Ye Jintang slammed the door shut as he spoke, his attitude was clear as day.
