Chapter 922: Chapter 924, Knowing the Truth (1st Update)
The alluring lady originally came from a brothel, but she was just redeemed by Weng Jianrui with Silver and was kept in this small courtyard.
Weng Jianrui also came occasionally to enjoy himself, leaving behind some things and Silver before departing.
The lady knew Weng Jianrui was married; the Marchioness was from the Yun Family, not someone she could compare to in status.
But she was clever, striving to please Weng Jianrui, determined to win his heart and bear a son or daughter to rely on in the future.
Whenever Weng Jianrui came, she did her utmost to cooperate, ensuring Weng Jianrui left both physically and mentally satisfied.
"Marquess..."
"Hmm!"
"Give me, I beg you!"
It was this coquettish demeanor that Yun Muyou lacked.
Yun Muyou was the legitimate daughter of the Yun Residence, a bit spoiled; Weng Jianrui wanted to possess her thoroughly, but couldn’t; often unable to fully enjoy.
So he kept one outside, with pleasures known only to him.
Weng Jianrui left satisfied, and Weng Jianxun then slipped in stealthily through the back door. Once inside the bedroom, he saw the alluring lady lying limply on the bed.
"Lady, has my brother been here?"
The lady smiled, extended her foot towards Weng Jianxun, "Second Master!"
Weng Jianxun laughed, swiftly grasped the lady’s foot, and threw himself over, grabbing the quilt to cover the lady’s face.
As he took her forcefully, all he could think about was that day at Huiquan Tower, Yun Jinnian clad in brocade clothes, beautiful as an immortal!
Prince Rui Residence
Chu Yu flipped through the gift list in his hand, meant for use when proposing to the Yun Family.
Personally reviewing the list, organizing the betrothal gifts himself, ensuring each item had to be perfect.
"Prince!"
"Hmm?"
Luoyi thought for a moment before saying, "Marquess Yuanshen is keeping a courtesan outside!"
Chu Yu heard it but didn’t even look up, speaking nonchalantly, "What does it matter to me?"
Luoyi didn’t understand why Chu Yu wouldn’t expose Weng Jianrui, yet had someone keep watch — why was this?
Chu Yu couldn’t be bothered to explain.
Yun Jinnian had not lived well in the Yun Family those years; he wouldn’t easily let the Yun Family off, only that the time wasn’t right yet.
"Just continue to monitor him, no need to intervene more!"
"Yes!"
In broad daylight, Prince Rui was attacked on the streets of the Capital City, the news spread wildly, and at night, the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom also suffered an assassination attempt and was injured on the face. The Emperor sent people to express condolences, along with many gifts.
Chu Yu only had them stored in the warehouse without looking at them and didn’t go to the palace to express gratitude.
However, in the Capital City, the Imperial Guards were arresting people everywhere, causing a state of tension.
Everyone was on edge.
Yun Jinnian, after spending an afternoon studying the three obediences and four virtues, stood up to gaze at the view outside the window.
"Commandery Princess, have some tea!"
Yun Jinnian received the tea, and Hemei said, "Yesterday, His Highness Prince Rui and Princess Jinfeng were attacked on the road!"
"..."
Yun Jinnian looked at Hemei in astonishment.
Yesterday he sensed the smell of blood on Chu Yu and had been busy without asking, even failing to properly entertain Princess Jinfeng.
Unexpectedly, he was attacked.
"Commandery Princess, rest assured, His Highness is fine!"
Yun Jinnian shook his head slightly, "It’s not about whether he’s fine or not, but about my lack of concern for him!"
Yesterday, he couldn’t ask him directly but could have asked Princess Jinfeng instead.
"Commandery Princess..."
Hemei softly called, but Yun Jinnian had already entered the small hall.
Hemei quickly chased after him, seeing Yun Jinnian opening a medicine box in the study room, taking out several bottles of medicine, "Hemei, make a trip and deliver these to Prince Rui Residence!"
"Yes!"
Now that Princess Jinfeng is back, what about Nuannuan? Is she planning to return or continue staying at the Han Family?
