Chapter 371 A Step-by-Step Thrill (5)
"What murderer?" the Tenth Prince asked, somewhat bewildered. How did this escalate to the point of being called a murderer?
“The last time Ruoxi fell from the building, she didn’t fall from the building by misstepping, but was pushed down by her.” Wangyou carefully wiped her fingers clean with a handkerchief.
"You need to provide evidence for your words!" Minghui was furious that someone had slapped her sister twice right under her nose, and now that she had heard about what happened long ago, she was enraged.
"Do you think that just because you've cleaned up the traces, I won't be able to find out? I have evidence and witnesses; do you want to see them now?"
"I've long heard that a celestial maiden has come to the Eighth Prince's residence, but I never expected that she would have a friend who is also a celestial goddess!" one of the princes said with a smile, noticing that something was amiss.
"Your Highness, I am feeling unwell and must take my leave!" Minghui saw the Eighth Prince nod and quickly left with Mingyu.
"As expected, the world is going to the dogs. People don't even have to pay with their lives for murder. Let alone pay with their lives, there's not even any punishment. If even nobles are like this, how many commoners have lost their lives in vain!" Wangyou couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark to the Eighth Prince.
He looks decent enough, yet he's eyeing his own sister-in-law. Ugh, disgusting.
"Wangyou, Ruoxi, please sit here." The Tenth Prince took a deep breath and said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I almost ruined your birthday party. I just couldn't help myself when I saw that woman's ugly face. This is a gift I picked out myself. I hope you like it." Wangyou took the opportunity offered by the Tenth Prince. After all, it wasn't right to really disrupt someone else's birthday party.
"Wow, let me see what gift you brought!" The Tenth Prince eagerly opened the gift box. "Is this a luminous pearl?"
"Yeah, doesn't it look like it?"
"This luminous pearl is so big, it's as big as my head! It must be so bright at night!"
"It is indeed quite bright, but I don't recommend using it."
"Why?" The Tenth Prince was thinking of putting it by his bedside when he got home that night.
“Prolonged contact with luminous pearls can cause poisoning, so just look at them.” Wangyou said with a smile. It has to be said that the Tenth Prince’s reaction was quite adorable.
"How could it be poisonous? You're not thinking of taking it back, are you?" The Tenth Prince said, closing the box and hugging it tightly.
Am I really that tasteless?
“What my elder sister said is true. In our family, we always play with these things like marbles. So, it’s just something you might find interesting. The real gift is here.” Xi Xuan also liked the Tenth Prince’s childlike heart, so she said.
"Oh, there's another gift!" Upon seeing this, the Tenth Prince took the other gift box as well.
"Tenth Brother, quickly open it and let us broaden our horizons," the Fourteenth Prince said with a smile.
The Tenth Prince glanced at the box containing the luminous pearl, then at his brothers whose eyes were shining, and decisively tucked the luminous pearl into his pocket before opening the brocade box.
"This is a land deed, and it's actually a land deed for Wanbaoge! Is it the Wanbaoge that makes a fortune every day?" the Tenth Prince asked, somewhat incredulously.
"Yes, I've noticed that you're exceptionally poor for a prince, so I'm giving you this shop. You'll earn quite a bit each month."
"This, this is too valuable!"
"Take it if I give it to you, but you have to buy me a drink," Xi Xuan said with a smile.
"Absolutely! We won't leave until we're drunk!" the Tenth Prince said with a smile.
"By the way, Madam Ruolan, Ruoxi, keep an eye on my sister and don't let her drink alcohol," Xi Xuan said before being dragged away by the Tenth Prince.
"Understood!" Xi Xuan was then pulled away by the Tenth Prince.
"Um, I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat? I overslept today and haven't had breakfast yet!" Wangyou said, clutching her stomach.
"Second Miss, please take Miss Wangyou to the North Pavilion to wait for me. I'll go get some food," Qiaohui said cleverly.
"Okay." Ruolan gave the two a few more instructions and then went to get busy.
Ruoxi took Wangyou to the North Pavilion, and Qiaohui returned shortly afterward with a lot of snacks, saying that someone from the kitchen would be bringing the meal later.
"Ruoxi, after what I said today, Mingyu will probably be suspicious for a long time. Should we still sue her?"
"I've thought about it, and if we take this to the Dali Temple, not only will I not get justice, but it will also put my sister in a dilemma. So, I've decided to put her in a sack," Ruoxi said firmly.
"Haha, I thought you would let her go, but I like putting her in a sack."
The two then had a heated discussion about when to put a sack over Mingyu's head, with Qiaohui offering suggestions from the side.
Qiaohui always thought that the second young lady had fallen on her own, but she never expected that it was Princess Mingyu who pushed her down. You should know that the second young lady almost died at that time, and the madam was crying so hard that she almost passed out.
After discussing it for a while, the three of them decided on the time and place for their revenge, and then each of them took a snack and went outside.
Then, looking up, she saw the Fourth Prince standing outside the South Pavilion across the street. Wangyou rolled her eyes and jumped onto the railing to sit down.
"Be careful, don't fall." Ruoxi was startled.
"It's alright, you underestimate me. If I couldn't even sit on a railing, I'd need to be retrained," Wangyou said with a smile.
Seeing that Wangyou was sitting very steadily, Ruoxi felt much more at ease. With Wangyou's interruption, she completely ignored the person opposite her.
Before long, the sounds of drinking and finger-guessing games came from across the street, and Wangyou even heard Xixuan pouring wine for the Tenth Prince.
The two ate some snacks and waited for the kitchen to bring some food. After they were full, they left the North Pavilion.
During this time, Wangyou also heard Ruoxi say that she had also prepared a gift for the Tenth Prince, but she hadn't had a chance to give it to him yet. She would have to find an opportunity to give it to him. So, the two of them went to the front to wait.
I watched the play for a while out of boredom, and not long after, I heard someone announce that the Crown Prince had arrived.
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw servants kneeling on the ground.
The Crown Prince now looks to be around thirty years old, with an imposing presence and the aura of a crown prince. It's just a pity that Kangxi lived too long and he was the Crown Prince for too long.
Time passed, his younger brothers grew up, his dearest father began to be wary and suspicious of him, and he had no one close to him anymore.
He was a pitiful person, so she stopped arguing with him.
Wangyou looked at the stage, pretending not to see the Crown Prince arrive. As for kneeling to greet him, don't be ridiculous.
"Who are you? Why don't you kneel before me?" The crown prince asked, seeing a stunningly beautiful woman sitting lazily on a stool.
"Thank you for your kindness."
"So it was you!" The Crown Prince immediately suppressed his thoughts of questioning or being tempted, after all, he didn't want to be woken up in the middle of the night by someone pulling off the covers and finding two more heads in his bed.
The Crown Prince didn't speak again. He turned around, first said a few words to the Tenth Prince, and then gave the Tenth Prince a gift.
When the gift was opened, it turned out to be a jade ruyi (a type of scepter), and the expressions on the faces of the princes present were truly amusing.
