Quick Transmigration: Seducing the Villain, the Delicate Beauty Becomes His Darling

The man turned to the side, his face tense.

"Are all you scholars this shy?" Song Yunzhi tiptoed to look at his ear, chuckled softly, and said, "Silly boy, I'm leaving."

Watching Song Yunzhi walk away, Xu Jingyao strode to the door. Only after he could no longer see her did he return and sit down, his ears burning.

He raised his hand to cover his ears, but they were still very hot.

He quickly reached out and flipped open the book on the table; the large amount of text was a bit overwhelming.

"Jing'er, are you reading?" Madam Lin gently knocked on the door.

Xu Jingyao stood up. "Mother."

"Zhizhi is gone."

"Ah."

"Jing'er, what do you think of Zhizhi?" Madam Lin asked gently.

If she likes it, she can ask the princess for it herself, and she probably won't refuse.

Xu Jingyao's expression turned serious. "Mother, I'm not considering matters of love and affection right now."

"So do you like it?"

Madam Lin asked bluntly. She knew her son's temperament very well. If he was annoyed, he would have driven him away in the first place. Why would he let him come over again and again?

It's not like there weren't maids who tried to curry favor with him before; he always coldly chased them away with a knife in hand.

Xu Jingyao didn't speak, but quietly flipped through the book.

Lin said nothing more and got up to leave.

Once things are made clear, he will naturally think it over carefully.

As soon as Lin left, Xu Jingyao's gaze stopped. A peach blossom was tucked between the pages of the book, with a small figure drawn with simple lines next to it.

With just a few strokes, he could recognize himself at a glance.

She was the one who spied on us in the peach grove that day, and she even drew a picture of it. This woman is truly...

Xu Jingyao quickly poured himself a cup of tea and drank it. It was refreshing and had a sweet aftertaste.

It was the tea she would brew for him every time she came over. At first, he felt uncomfortable, but now he's become quite picky about it.

A burning sensation rose in his chest, so he put the book away and turned to get a calligraphy practice book to practice his writing.

The paper and pens, including the calligraphy practice books, were all sent by her.

Xu Jingyao paused, his eyes flashing.

She always said she was delivering things on behalf of the princess, but how could the princess have delivered so many things to him?

It was simply to see him.

Unable to continue practicing calligraphy, Xu Jingyao picked up his hunting tools and went out. His fine quiver was filled with his own roughly whittled wooden arrows, which seemed like a waste.

He pursed his lips. Where did this little maid get so much money to buy him things? Doesn't she need to spend money herself?

As soon as Song Yunzhi returned, she sneezed several more times. Aunt Liu persuaded her to remove the ice.

During dinner, a doctor was called over to take a look, and it was confirmed that he had caught a chill.

Having been lazy all day, Song Yunzhi did not go to the west courtyard.

As a result, Xu Jingyao arrived that evening.

"What is he doing here?" Song Yunzhi asked, somewhat surprised.

It should be noted that during her time in the mansion, Xu Jingyao never visited. After she excused them from paying their respects, only Madam Lin would occasionally come over.

"I don't know, he looks very anxious," Aunt Liu said from the side.

"Let him wait outside for a while."

"Yes."

Donning her veil, Song Yunzhi walked out slowly. "What business does my uncle have with me?"

"Sister-in-law, I would like to see Miss Zhizhi." Before he could even sit down, the tall man in front of him hurriedly spoke up.

She stiffened for a moment, then calmly sat down.

"I have no Miss Zhizhi here."

Xu Jingyao suddenly looked up, stunned. "She...she's not one of the princess's people?"

Song Yunzhi shook her head. "What do you want with her? If needed, I can arrange for someone to help you find her."

Meeting the woman's familiar eyes, Xu Jingyao quickly lowered his head, "I'm sorry to bother you, sister-in-law. I'll go find it myself."

"Uncle."

Xu Jingyao stopped in his tracks, turned around respectfully, and asked, "Does Sister-in-law have any instructions?"

"Is he/she a very important person?" Song Yunzhi asked softly.

"Yes." The man lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "It's very important."

He felt uneasy if he didn't see her for even a day.

"If you need help, Uncle can go to Aunt Liu."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Xu Jingyao left in a hurry. Song Yunzhi withdrew her gaze, sent someone to follow him, and went back inside to rest.

Three days later, word came from outside that the second young master and the prince consort had gotten into a fight.

Song Yunzhi's brow twitched slightly. These two people had never really crossed paths.

Upon hearing that Wang Chunlan was going to pass on the family tradition, she quickly led her people over.

The seventeen-year-old boy knelt upright in front of the ancestral hall, his expression cold and stubborn, showing no intention of admitting his mistake.

Xu Fugui lay on his back in the chair, his face bruised and swollen, while the doctor took his pulse.

Beside her, Lin was crying and pleading for mercy, but was being pulled away by servants.

"Who do you think you are, you little bastard, to dare lay a hand on my son!"

Wang Chunlan cursed loudly, holding a thick stick in her hand, about to hit the boy on the back, when a voice came from behind to stop her.

"Wait!"

"Princess, what brings you here?" Wang Chunlan paused, and greeted her with a fawning smile.

Song Yunzhi walked up to Xu Fugui, and the observant eunuch behind her immediately moved him to a lower seat and replaced the cushion with a new one for him to sit on.

"I've come to join in the fun. Why is Mother-in-law so angry that she's threatening to punish us in the ancestral hall?"

Wang Chunlan's smile faded slightly. "It's just a small matter, I wouldn't dare bother you."

"Since you're already here, why not let me hear it?" she said calmly, but her words carried an undeniable air of authority.

Wang Chunlan felt that her son had been wronged in this matter, so she didn't try to hide it and said directly, "That little bastard suddenly rushed out and beat up Fugui, that's why I'm going to punish him."

Xu Jingyao raised his head, his cold gaze sweeping over Wang Chunlan and her son, his expression revealing a ruthless intent.

"Uncle, is that so?" Song Yunzhi asked, looking at the kneeling person.

"No, they captured Zhizhi, bribed people to enter the mansion, bought forbidden drugs, and wanted to..."

Xu Jingyao couldn't bring himself to say what followed, but his tone became increasingly heavy and angry.

"Bullshit! When did I arrest anyone? You must have misheard me. You come out here and beat me up, and you think you're in the right?" Xu Fugui struggled to his feet and kicked at him. "I'll beat you to death today!"

"Stop him!" Song Yunzhi shouted coldly.

Several eunuchs stepped forward to stop Xu Fugui and forced him back into his chair.

Seeing that things were not going well, Wang Chunlan quickly said, "Princess, are you going to protect this little bastard?"

"Mother-in-law has misunderstood," the woman said gently.

Wang Chunlan breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard the other party continue, "Aunt Liu, bring me my whip."

Xu Fugui laughed upon hearing this, and looked at Xu Jingyao provocatively.

Ultimately, the princess is his wife, and she should stand by his side.

Xu Jingyao looked up at the princess, his face tense, and his fists clenched.

"Princess, here is your whip." Aunt Liu presented it with both hands.

"The situation is a bit awkward. Let's send Uncle and Aunt Lin back first."

"Yes." Aunt Liu nodded.

Wang Chunlan and Xu Fugui were stunned. "What do you mean? Let them go back? Aren't we going to stop fighting?"

"Of course we'll fight!" Xu Fugui cried out as the wind, carrying a hint of force, blew down.

Lin was startled. She bowed and quickly pulled her son outside.

Thankfully, she didn't hit her son; the princess is such a kind person.

Xu Jingyao looked back, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Wang Chunlan was so frightened that she cried. She could only watch and dared not step forward to stop them.

"Your Highness, let's talk this out. There's no need for this."

"Mother, she's a shrew!" Xu Fugui yelled.

Song Yunzhi stopped what she was doing and looked at Xu Fugui with a cold gaze. "The prince consort himself, tell me, who were the banned drugs you bought and the men you brought into the mansion given to?"

"I..." He suddenly fell silent, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes.

Song Yunzhi lashed out with the whip without hesitation, "It seems the lesson from last time wasn't enough."

Wang Chunlan instantly understood the truth in her son's guilty and ashamed expression.

She rushed over, shielding Xu Fugui with her, and cried out, "Princess, you are so magnanimous! Fugui was just confused for a moment. Please forgive him!"
