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

Chapter 61 The Princess is Charming, and the Illegitimate Son Falls for Her (12)

As noon approached, Madam Lin hurried over to call Xu Jingyao, saying it was time to go and discuss his marriage with the princess.

"Didn't we agree to go today? Why aren't you in a hurry at all?" Lin said somewhat disapprovingly.

Getting married is not something that can be delayed.

Xu Jingyao pursed his lips. "Mother, let's talk about this later."

"What's wrong?" Madam Lin was taken aback. "Does Zhizhi not like you?"

"She likes it." He paused for a moment, his gaze softening.

Lin breathed a sigh of relief, then asked suspiciously, "Then what are you waiting for? You're not going to back out, are you?"

“I won’t,” Xu Jingyao blurted out, then hesitated for a moment before adding, “I just heard on the way back this morning that the princess wasn’t feeling well, so we’ll go another time.”

"I see. Then we'll go again next time. We shouldn't disturb the princess's rest." Madam Lin muttered as she left, but quickly turned back. "Is Zhizhi coming today? I'd like to ask her to give the princess some gifts. We've received so much kindness from the princess, we should at least show some concern for her."

“Miss Zhizhi…” Xu Jingyao’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, “You’re not coming today.”

"Did you upset her? Doesn't she come over every day?" Madam Lin's expression turned serious. "Did you bully her?"

Xu Jingyao was speechless for a moment, and then Lin hit him on the back.

"You bastard! Zhizhi is such a good girl. If you dare to bully her again, just try it and go apologize right now!"

"Mom, I don't have one."

"You still say you didn't? Your face is full of guilt."

"..."

The autumn imperial examinations were held in August.

You need to arrive at the examination venue one day in advance.

Early in the morning, Wang Chunlan led her men to block the gate of the mansion, saying that there were thieves inside and no one was allowed to leave.

When Song Yunzhi received the news, she simply ordered Xu Fugui to be arrested and had salt water and whips prepared.

This is only used when subjecting someone to torture.

The servant who was following Xu Fugui was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he hurriedly ran to inform the others.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chunlan rushed to the princess's courtyard and saw Xu Fugui hanging in mid-air wearing only a single garment. She turned pale with fright.

"My son! My son!"

"Mother, please save me! She's going to kill me!"

Xu Fugui has been behaving himself lately, fearing that the princess might cause him trouble because of what happened last time.

He remained unharmed for more than half a month. Just when he thought everything was over, early one morning, several eunuchs suddenly broke into the room and tied him up before he was even awake.

He suddenly realized that the princess was here to settle scores!

“Princess, he is, after all, the Prince of Xiaoyao, your consort, and the one who saved the Emperor. How could you treat him like this!” Wang Chunlan shouted, her face filled with dissatisfaction.

This is about gratitude, not friendship. After all, she saved the emperor. Does she intend to be ungrateful?

Song Yunzhi slightly curled her lips and lowered her head to play with the whip in her hand. "I am very curious about how the Prince Consort saved Father Emperor. Such a great favor, I must listen carefully."

“Saving people is saving people, there’s nothing more to say.” Wang Chunlan’s tone became hesitant.

The woman in the high position asked softly, "Was that to block a knife or an arrow?"

The emperor never gave a reason, only allowing Song Yunyuan to marry. If there was some great favor owed to him, he would have explained it to her properly.

For so long, the rumors of the princess whipping the prince consort have been circulating, yet the emperor has remained silent, which shows that the princess did not consider Xu Fugui her benefactor.

It's like just marrying off a daughter; who she marries isn't that important.

The princess remained the same pampered and high-ranking princess.

“Of course I’ll block it, block it…” Wang Chunlan was speechless for a moment, and just looked at Xu Fugui who was hanging there.

Song Yunzhi calmly took a sip of tea. "I do have some good deeds that the Prince Consort has done recently. Would you like to hear them, Mother-in-law?"

"No, no!"

Wang Chunlan knew perfectly well what kind of person Xu Fugui was.

He used to think he was something special just because he had a little money, but now that the emperor has bestowed upon him the title of Prince of Leisure, he is naturally even more unrestrained than before.

But they were all minor matters, and she didn't pay much attention to them.

But if we really take it seriously, the consequences could be severe.

"Don't want to listen? Then just call." Song Yunzhi said very easily, smiling at Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu understood immediately and gestured to the eunuch beside her to do it.

The whip, soaked in salt water, lashed out. Xu Fugui's pupils constricted, and he roared, "I am the prince consort! You dare to hit me, just try it!"

"Strike!" A calm voice rang out, and the cracking sound of the whip fell without hesitation.

Xu Fugui grimaced in pain, cursing and shouting, while Wang Chunlan knelt beside him and cried out to heaven and earth.

The various sounds blended together, creating a strangely harmonious and pleasing sound.

"Princess, Aunt Lin and the Second Young Master have arrived," Aunt Liu whispered from the side.

Song Yunzhi's eyes flashed, signaling them to stop.

Two people came in and bowed respectfully.

"What brings Aunt Lin and the Second Young Master here?"

Glancing at the grand setup beside her, Madam Lin whispered, "Princess, Jing'er is going to the examination hall today, but the First Madam has had the main gate blocked."

"is it?"

Meeting the woman's gaze, Wang Chunlan quickly explained, "There's a thief in the mansion, I was catching him!"

Song Yunzhi nodded thoughtfully, "Then let's continue the hunt. Aunt Liu, have someone escort the Second Young Master out, lest he be injured by the thieves."

"No! He can't..."

"Keep fighting!"

Wang Chunlan and Song Yunzhi's voices rang out simultaneously, and the little eunuch immediately started hitting them. No one cared what Wang Chunlan said.

Hearing Xu Fugui shout, Wang Chunlan's attention was completely focused on this again.

Two tall guards walked up to Lin Shi and Xu Jingyao, ready to escort them out.

Lin glanced at the bloody scene with trepidation and quickly turned and left.

Xu Jingyao looked up at Song Yunzhi, and when he met her gaze, a gentle smile flashed in his deep eyes.

She told him to do well on the exam.

Although she hasn't come to see him lately, she still sends things to the west courtyard every day.

She always thought of him.

Xu Fugui's wailing voice still faintly echoed in my ears, and shouts came from behind me.

"Second Young Master, please wait."

"Aunt Liu, is something the matter?" Madam Lin quickly stepped forward.

Aunt Liu smiled and handed over the bundle she had prepared beforehand. "This is what the princess asked me to prepare. Second Young Master, please take it."

"How can this be?" Looking at the clothes, paper, and pen in the bundle, Madam Lin said, her voice choked with emotion.

"Take it, or the princess will whip me," Aunt Liu said with a smile.

Startled, Lin quickly took it and handed it to her son.

Xu Jingyao felt a surge of warmth in his heart, reached out and hugged the things tightly, and said gently, "Please thank the princess for me, Aunt."

Aunt Liu nodded in agreement.
