Chapter 452: Revenge is a Dish Best Served Cold
ew days ago. My friend said at the time that the maiden in the painting was unmarried. Since you are the woman in the painting, Wuyue dares to ask, when did you get married Or perhaps, you simply do n...Xiao Yu Ge let out a cold snort, as if she were being mocked. "Hmph! Blaming me for your own mistakes How audacious! But I'd like to see how you plan to get rid of me. Do you dare touch me You should be grateful that my sister was the one who caught the embroidered ball just now. If it had been me, whether you live or die, and even if the Qingfeng Pavilion itself still stands, is anyone's guess."
She's not wrong about this. Everyone knows how protective Qiansheng is of her, and his twisted methods are well documented. If she were to accept the marriage proposal, Qiansheng wouldn't do anything to her directly, but he would definitely have Qingfengguan and Wuyue gongzi expelled from the Imperial City.
Wú Yuè Gongzi pursed her lips, knowing she was telling the truth. She swallowed her anger and her voice immediately lost its previous firmness: "Although I, Qīng Fēng Guǎn, am a brothel, I have never forced women into prostitution or harmed anyone. What happens to me is not important, but I want to ensure that everyone in Qīng Fēng Guǎn can remain safe. I know your relationship with the King and that he has the ability to do so. I beg you, please help me, ask the King to save them!"
A true man can bend and stretch, for the entire Qinfeng Pavilion, he is also willing to do his best.
Xiao Yuge raised an eyebrow, crossed her arms, and looked at him with a haughty expression. "Was that your way of asking for help I thought you were here to kill me out of spite." That stinky fox, wasn't he very capable Seizing this opportunity, she had to put him in his place and teach him a lesson for daring to scheme against her.
"Sorry..." Even though he was frustrated, he had to bow his head for the sake of everyone in Qingfeng Pavilion at this time.
Xiao Yuge extended a finger, swaying it gently: “Don’t apologize to me. You plotted against me first. I, Xiao Yuge, have always been unforgiving. I won't accept your apology! Whether Qingfeng Pavilion lives or dies, it has nothing to do with me! Unless……” She deliberately paused, refusing to continue.
Master Wuyue is from the Leiting Pavilion and has always been low-key in the capital, never causing trouble. But this time, he personally threw a ball to propose marriage and set up such a scheme. There must be something wrong with it, so she wanted to know the real reason.
"Unless what" Seeing her hesitation, the Un-Moon Master immediately pressed further.
"Unless you tell me why you set up this situation today, what are you trying to do" The young master Wu Yue was not as charming and frivolous as he appeared. On the contrary, the fact that he was highly valued by Lei Ting Pavilion meant he had his own strengths. She was very curious, and wanted to know the purpose of his actions today.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you!" Wuyue hesitated for a moment before shaking her head, indicating that she couldn't speak.
As soon as he said that, Xiao Yuge guessed something. It seemed to be related to Lei Tingge. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to say it out loud. And since she knew he was doing things for Lei Tingge, she naturally wouldn't ask any further questions. Who would dare to meddle in Lei Tingge's affairs
Upon thinking this through, she changed her tone and no longer carried the same air of arrogance as before. "Alright, since you're unwilling to speak, I won't force you." Saying this, she turned to leave.
"Miss Xiao!" The young master Wuyue leaped forward, blocking her path.
"What Young Master Wuyue, are you planning to use force" Xiao Yuge looked calm, with a hint of playful teasing in her eyes. "I advise you not to think that way, because you definitely won't succeed!" Let alone fighting her head-on, whether he could even defeat her was questionable. Even the hidden guards sent by Qian Tingxuan to protect her were not easy to deal with.
“No! I only hope that miss can help me out, just consider it as Wu Yue owing you a favor. If one day, miss needs anything from Wu Yue, even if it is my life, Wu Yue will never hesitate!” Master Wu Yue now had a sincere look on his face, completely different from before.
"Well, you said so yourself." Xiao Yuge's smile couldn't be more obvious. To see this man lower himself to beg her was quite satisfying, a repayment for his previous disrespect towards her. Besides, she was just doing a favor, nothing more.
“You, you... did you agree to this” Wu Yue Gongzi was quite surprised. The young girl before her, in her teens, acted strangely, never playing by the rules. While she seemed heartless on the surface, she also valued righteousness. Though she couldn’t have a passionate romance with her, she was a friend worth having.
"Just look at my mood." Xiao Yuge jumped down from the stone, shook off the dust on her body, and looked up at his anxious expression. She stopped teasing him: "Don't worry, Your Majesty won't shut down your Qingfeng Pavilion. Not only that, someone will come later to apologize and offer you compensation."
"You, what do you mean" Wuyue naturally couldn't believe it. After all, she was the County Princess of National Security, a daughter of auspicious qi. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to provoke her.
"That means you can now go back with peace of mind and wait for someone to come apologize and make amends." Xiao Yuge finished speaking, then gracefully departed.
She figured Xiao Yufu must have pretended to be weak and pitiful, fainting on purpose just now. Someone must have sent her back to the Xiangfu. She knew her father too well; faced with this situation, he would protect Xiao Yufu and the Xiangfu's reputation. He was also afraid that the playboy Wuyue Gongzi, who frequented brothels, might make a scene at the Xiangfu because of this incident. To avoid trouble, he would definitely secretly send someone with silver to silence Wuyue Gongzi.
A family of fortune tellers might not be numerous, but they definitely have a lot of money. They will never risk anything if money can solve it.
Wú Yuè Gōngzi was hesitant, but at this point, he could only take it one step at a time. He had always been the one calculating others, but now he was being calculated by Xiāo Yǔgē. Although he wasn't happy about it, he couldn't hate her. After all, as she said, if he hadn't changed his mind and thrown the embroidered ball towards her, none of this would have happened. In the end, it was his fault!
In the ancestral hall of a wealthy family's residence.
As the daughter of a prestigious family and a princess personally appointed by the Emperor, you are caught frequenting a brothel in broad daylight! What shame! Do you even have the Emperor or your father in your eyes Kneel here for a day and a night, repent to the ancestors of the Xiao family!
This was Xiao Zhan's most furious time. He had Xiao Yufu kneel in the ancestral hall of the Xiao family and ordered someone to guard outside the ancestral hall: "No one is allowed to let her up without my permission, nor are they allowed to give her food or drink!"
“Father, Fu'er knows she was wrong, Fu'er knows she was wrong......” Xiao Yufu knelt there, she truly regretted it now. Why did she go there with Fang Minrou She even suspected that this whole thing might have been Fang Minrou's doing, or perhaps she had colluded with the Moonless Young Master to frame her.
A seed of doubt, once sown, will slowly sprout in the heart until it grows into a towering tree. At that time, friendships built on material interests will crumble!ile. Her hand clenched slowly, tears of grievance swirling in her eye sockets but she held them back. For the first time, she felt so useless, and of course, she envied Xiao Yu Ge even more. Why was s...
