Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Chapter 84: A Drinking Party Surrounded by Secret Guards

Wu Wenchang laughed dryly. Why wouldn't he want the money now that he had earned it?

"Your Highness, calm down. I was not thoughtful just now. Just treat it as a couple of nonsense. Don't take it seriously."

Si Jingli then gave up.

Yan Jiangnan ordered his men to move all the treasure chests containing silver from the car down. The heavy chests fell to the ground, directly filling up the entire cobblestone road of the street.

The officials in Jingzhou looked at the treasure chests lined up on the streets and couldn't help showing surprise.

Wu Wenchang immediately and actively ordered his men to come forward and help count.

The common people around had never seen such a scene before. When each treasure chest was opened, they were all filled with real, pure silver.

The news spread like wildfire, from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. In just a cup of tea, both ends of the long street were crowded with people, all craning their necks to see the silver that filled the entire street.

Some hid in the restaurant and looked down from the high-rise windows. The treasure chests were neatly arranged, and the silver inside was shining brightly under the sunlight, like a long Milky Way in broad daylight.

The beautiful lady brought a chair from the house to Si Jingli and placed it in the shade under the eaves.

Si Jingli lay on the chair with his legs crossed, waiting for them to finish the inventory.

At this time, Wu Wenchang no longer cared about where Si Jingli was. A group of people were busy among the pile of silver, enjoying the happiness of bathing in the ocean of money.

The beautiful bride stood beside Si Jingli, watching them busy counting the silver with a smile on her face.

Si Jingli looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he asked in a low voice.

"What did Chu Shitong say about me in front of you?"

He just couldn't suppress his curiosity.

The beautiful bride chuckled twice, and her eyes curved into beautiful crescents.

"His Highness said that His Royal Highness is a rare talent. Not only is he born with a heavenly appearance, but he is also cheerful and intelligent, friendly, kind-hearted, and extremely proficient in the art of language."

When Si Jingli heard this, his mood instantly improved and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

"Humph, what she said is just the truth known to everyone. What's there to mention? Isn't this the same as she said?"

The beautiful lady echoed softly, "Yes, I have always heard about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, and after seeing him today, he is exactly the same as what His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince said."

"You are not blind." Si Jingli was in a good mood, so he looked at her straight in the eye. "What's your name? When did you start working for her?"

The beautiful lady said, "My name is Yueying. I used to work in the music house in Jiangzhou. Later, I was recruited by Your Highness. It has been more than a year now."

"Jiangzhou?"

Si Jingli was slightly surprised. Isn't that Chu Shifeng's grandfather's house?

"When has Chu Shitong ever been to Jiangzhou? And how did you come all the way from Jiangzhou?"

"That happened a few years ago. I don't know what your Highness was doing in Jiangzhou, but this time, your Highness specifically ordered me to help you, the Crown Prince, solve the problem."

Si Jingli snorted and pretended to be indifferent, saying, "What kind of trouble could this prince have? Chu Shitong just likes to worry about this prince for no reason. I have told her many times that this prince can solve it himself, but she insisted on sending people to help this prince. It's so annoying."

Yueying just smiled and didn't respond.

......

In fact, when Chu Shitong finished explaining the task to Yueying last night and mentioned Si Jingli, their conversation was like this.

Yueying: "I have not met His Royal Highness yet. Why don't you tell me a little bit about His Royal Highness's temperament? I can figure out how to please His Royal Highness in advance."

Chu Shitong leaned against the window and said casually, "He has a bad temper and is spoiled. He speaks harshly and harshly. He gets angry when he doesn't agree with you. He has a lot of wild thoughts. But he is still cute. You don't have to think about how to make him happy. In his eyes, you are just one of my subordinates. You can't be on the same level as him. He has to say something unpleasant when he sees people who are higher than him. You just need to give him the letter and don't be kicked out by him before the plan is completed."

Yueying was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"I will follow your instructions."

"If he talks nonsense, just agree with him and don't refute him. Otherwise, if he gets angry, I will spend all the five hundred taels of silver on the street that day."

"Yes, I obey."

Chu Shitong chose Yueying because, firstly, he was impressed by her abilities, secondly, she was very good at understanding people's personalities, and thirdly, she was good at speaking.

The performance of the third point is still very stable.

......

Si Jingli felt very happy. He didn't expect Chu Shitong to think so highly of him.

"Hey, Yueying, did Chu Shitong say anything else about me?"

Moony smiled and shook her head.

Si Jingli said: "Oh, forget it if there is none, I don't care anyway."

It was not until the afternoon that the silver was finally counted.

Wu Wenchang checked with Yan Jiangnan for a long time and finally finished it.

Yan Jiangnan found Si Jingli with the signed form.

"Your Highness, I have already checked with the Governor of Jingzhou. The amount of silver is exactly five million taels of silver, not a penny less. Your Highness, do you need another confirmation? If not, please stamp the signature form and I will send it back to the Marquis' Mansion in Quanzhou."

“No need to confirm.”

Si Jingli immediately ordered someone to bring the seal and press it on the signature form.

Yan Jiangnan took back the signed form, folded it and put it in his clothes on his chest, and said, "Then we won't bother His Royal Highness any more. We will go back to Quanzhou and report to the Marquis."

Yueying spoke at this time, "Director Yan, you can go back first. I will take my men here to rest for two days."

Yan Jiangnan nodded and said, "Then I will go back first. There is still an epidemic in Jingzhou. Madam, please go back to Quanzhou as soon as possible."

"Got it. When you go back, don't forget to tell the Marquis that I will be back in Jingzhou after a few days."

"Yes."

Yan Jiangnan turned around, mounted his horse and left with the people from SF Escort Agency.

After Yanjiang left south, Wu Wenchang discovered that the people from Shunfeng Escort Agency had left, but the carriages and staff of the Zhenguohou Mansion were still there.

Yueying looked at Si Jingli and asked, "Your Highness, tell them to send this silver directly to the governor's residence."

Si Jingli: "Yes."

Wu Wenchang looked at Yueying and asked politely, "Who are you?"

Yueying straightened her body with a charming and bright smile on her face.

"My name is Yueying. I am the current housekeeper of the Hou Mansion for long-distance affairs. I am also the third niece of the Marquis. I am responsible for delivering things to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Wu Wenchang suddenly realized, "Oh, oh, oh, it turned out to be my third aunt!"

Si Jingli:?

He raised his eyebrows and glared at Yueying. Yueying didn't expect that she would become Si Jingli's third aunt just by casually saying her identity.

Yueying said awkwardly: "Sir, please don't flatter me. I am just my father's goddaughter, not the Ning family's biological child."

Wu Wenchang understood, but was still very polite.

"Thank you for coming all the way here, Third Aunt. I have prepared some wine and food at your house. You have been busy since noon and Third Aunt and His Royal Highness probably haven't eaten yet. Why don't you go to my house? You can bring the silver with you."

Yueying was a well-known smiling tiger under Chu Shitong, but when a middle-aged man in his fifties called her "Third Aunt", Yueying could hardly smile anymore.

"Thank you very much for your invitation, sir."

She turned around, regained her composure, and asked Si Jingli by the way.

"Your Highness, are the arrangements for this trip ready?"

Si Jingli didn't want to go, "I'm busy."

Wu Wenchang tried to smooth things over, saying, "Your Highness, Third Aunt has come all the way here for you, so how could you not come? It's just a meal and some wine. I asked the cook to prepare some good food and wine today. The conditions in Jingzhou are not as good as those in the capital, but I have been looking for some things that may please Your Highness these days. I'll treat it as a change of taste for you. Do you think it's okay?"

Si Jingli looked at Yueying who winked at him and stood up reluctantly.

"Then go ahead."

Si Jingli really hated these officials in Jingzhou. He himself had a low alcohol tolerance, and these officials would use various methods to make him drink. Fortunately, Si Jingli's bad temper was well known to everyone. When he was in a bad mood, he would find fault with them. He had scared these people before, and they had been quiet for a while and no one dared to drink with him again.

Wu Wenchang immediately smiled happily, raised his hand and began to give orders.

"Hurry, hurry, please get on the carriage, Third Aunt and His Royal Highness! Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion has worked hard to follow the carriage of this official!"

The other officials also hurriedly got on their carriages.

......

Chu Shitong was writing a letter at the table, listening to Jianying reporting on the progress of the current plan.

Upon hearing that Si Jingli and Yueying had safely arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Chu Shitong slowly put down his pen.

"Keep an eye on the prince, and don't let him get drunk at this banquet."

"Yes."

Chu Shitong put the written letter into an envelope and handed it to Jianying.

"Go tell Rushuang to stay with the prince, and help me deliver this letter to the capital."

"Yes."

Jianying took the letter, turned around and disappeared into the room.

Everything went according to plan.

Chu Shitong looked at the white and yellow chrysanthemums in the vase on the table. The flowers were blooming brilliantly, with plump buds and petals. He thought that the person who picked the flowers must have been extremely careful.

"Bishui, change the flowers in the vase."

Bishui came in from outside and wanted to change the flowers in the vase as Chu Shitong instructed, but when she saw that these chrysanthemums were in full bloom, she hesitated.

"Your Highness, it's not easy to find such beautiful chrysanthemums at this time of year. Are you sure you want to change them?"

"Ah."

Bishui had no choice but to lower her head and take the vase out of the house.

......

At the Governor's Mansion.

It was afternoon, but it felt like late night in the lobby.

The lights are bright, and there is singing and dancing.

The smell of wine mixed with the aroma of food filled the air, and laughter rang out one after another.

Si Jingli sat in the main seat. He was not forced to drink much wine today because Yueying was there.

He ate a few bites and was full. He had rarely felt this kind of feeling of being ignored.

Yueying was the most popular and welcomed person at the banquet. She had not picked up her chopsticks since she sat down at the table and had been drinking the whole time.

The officials in Jingzhou seemed to have a telepathic connection and found all kinds of reasons to toast her.

Si Jingli didn't stop her, because Yueying herself said in the carriage that if she wanted to drink, he didn't need to care about her.

Si Jingli sat for a while, then found an excuse to get up and leave.

Before leaving, he looked back and saw the table full of wine and meat. Except for Yueying, all the people sitting at the table were men. He didn't dare to imagine what would happen if Yueying got drunk.

However, it seems that Yueying can drink a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have to worry.

Si Jingli thought about it and felt that the people under Chu Shitong were definitely not good-for-nothings, and perhaps they had some special abilities.

Chu Shitong told him to have a good meal and then go back to rest, so he did as he was told.

Wu Wenchang was also happy. Yueying was not only good at talking, but also had a good alcohol tolerance. A group of officials were flattered by her and they didn't know what was going on. They wanted to treat her as the only confidante in their lives who understood their lofty ambitions, and they toasted her in various ways.

The banquet lasted until late at night.

Tonight, clouds cover the moon.

Only after the last official lay down on the table did Yueying put down his wine glass and slowly stand up.

She left the hall without even a hint of drunkenness.

As soon as she walked out of the house, the housekeeper came up to her and said, "Third aunt, are you going back? I'll take you out!"

"Okay." Yueying pretended to be drunk, unsteadily approached his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you."

The housekeeper excitedly hugged her shoulders, feeling the softness and warmth in his arms: "It's no trouble, it's my honor to support Third Aunt!"

We were escorted all the way to the gate of the mansion, where the carriage had been waiting for a long time.

"Third aunt, she's already at the door."

Yueying opened her eyes drowsily, raised her eyes in the butler's arms, and looked at him drunkenly.

The butler's heart was pounding. He had never seen such a charming and seductive woman, and he couldn't help but ask tentatively.

"If... Aunt is really sleepy today, why don't you go to my room to rest for a while and come back when you are more sober, so that you won't feel uncomfortable because of the alcohol."

Yueying fell into her arms, closed her eyes sleepily, and said in a soft and seductive voice, "Okay, I'll trouble you then."

The housekeeper immediately agreed.

"Hey! I'll help my aunt into the house right now!"

He turned around and took Yueying back to the mansion.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. He did not see Yueying making a hand gesture behind him. The coachman saw the gesture and silently sent a signal to the person hiding deep in the alley.

......

When Rushuang came back, it was already midnight.

Seeing that the light was still on in Chu Shitong's room, she immediately entered the room using her light Kung Fu.

"Your Highness, they have all been captured."

Chu Shitong was sitting on the bed, with his long black hair loose and a snow-white inner garment on. He looked lazy, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red from sleepiness.

Sitting opposite her was Yan Jiangnan, the head of SF Express Escort Agency during the day.

Chu Shitong nodded and said, "That's great. Let Yan Jiangnan go to interrogate them. Let all the people who were previously arranged take over. If they are discovered, kill them and then take over."

"Yes."

Wu Wenchang would never have imagined that Chu Shitong was so bold.

This drinking party is the reason that brings them all together, and Yueying is the woman under Chu Shitong who is known for being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

Chu Shitong's men had already laid an ambush, and after obtaining Yueying's information, they sneaked into the governor's mansion overnight.

They used a large number of secret guards with superb martial arts skills to kill all the guards around them, and knocked out all the drunk officials in the hall, including Wu Wenchang, and sent them to the dungeon that had been set up long ago overnight.
