Chapter 529 The Eldest Princess is Not Love-Obsessed (2)
Shangguan Yi did not follow, but thought that this princess was really a wonderful person.
In fact, compared to precious flowers, Wangyou prefers wildflowers growing in the countryside, which are full of vitality, while flowers carefully cultivated in greenhouses will die if not properly cared for.
Just like orchids, although they are rare in the wild, they grow quite well year after year, but they die within a few days after being dug up by people, which leads to the high price of wild orchids.
"Brother Sheng, marry me, I can't live without you." Wangyou was sitting by the rockery, about to rest her feet, when she heard this voice.
"Don't worry, my dear, I won't let you down. I will definitely marry you." Then came the sound of fabric rustling.
"Princess, this servant will go and chase these two away."
"Why drive them away? Wouldn't it be better to let more people see it? It's also a way of fulfilling their wishes," Wangyou said with a slight smile.
Upon hearing this, Tingfeng immediately went to do it, while Wangyou and Tingyu stayed away from the artificial hill.
Before long, Tingfeng arrived with his men. The wild couple behind the artificial hill were also disturbed, but it was too late. The two were trapped at the entrance of the artificial hill.
Wangyou observed the expressions on these people's faces and successfully saw a woman and a girl's expressions change.
“Your Highness, those are the wife of the Minister of Revenue and her legitimate daughter. The two behind the rockery are, firstly, the concubine’s daughter from the Minister’s household, and secondly, the man is the second son of the Duke of Yingguo, who is the girl’s fiancé.” Tingyu dutifully explained these relationships to Wangyou.
"So this is the story of the half-sister seducing her future brother-in-law. That girl is so pitiful." Although Wangyou sighed, a closer look would reveal the coldness in her eyes.
The Duke of Dingguo's family was furious. They had a banquet planned, but this disgusting incident had occurred, and the banquet could no longer proceed.
Forget-Me-Not followed the crowd and left as well.
Tingyu inquired about what happened next and told Wangyou about it.
The eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue was also quite capable; she broke off her engagement with the second son of the Duke of Yingguo as soon as she returned home. As for the illegitimate daughter, she was directly sent to the Duke of Yingguo's mansion as a concubine, and the Minister's mansion simply pretended that she never had a daughter.
Those who belittle themselves do not deserve salvation.
Treating worries as a form of amusement will soon make you forget about them.
She recently discovered a fun place: a casino.
When she first started playing, Wangyou lost a few times because she didn't know the pattern. But after she figured it out, she started winning. No matter how her opponent cheated, Wangyou always won.
"Impossible! You cheated!"
"I was just lucky, how can you wrong me? You guys are too much of a sore loser," Wangyou said with a smile and a straight face.
"That's right, I've never won a single game at your casino. I finally won once, and you're trying to ruin it?" A playboy dressed in royal blue jumped out and said.
"That's right, don't be a sore loser, or I'll definitely investigate how you lost before."
Wangyou walked up to the dealer with a smile, grabbed his arm, and quickly took several cards from his hand. "You've been cheating all along, haven't you!"
"Grab them!" The casino's thugs swarmed forward.
Wangyou waved her hand, and the hidden guards rushed out. How could a group of thugs possibly defeat professional guards?
"You are Her Highness the Eldest Princess!"
"Yes, whose young master are you?" Wangyou smiled and then saw the blue-robed young master's appearance clearly. He was quite handsome.
"My name is Jiang Che, and I am the third young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion." Jiang Che felt embarrassed for the first time.
"You're great, keep it up." Wangyou usually gives good looks a friendly look.
Wangyou then had someone investigate the people behind the casino and check the casino's accounts. Goodness, the speed at which the money was coming in was extraordinary.
What's most eye-catching is that thick stack of indentures. Gambling is something that can really become addictive if you do it too often. There are quite a few people who sell their children or pawn their wives, and many others who have their hands and feet cut off because they can't pay off their gambling debts.
"Go check and try to save as many people as possible!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
The casino uncovered a shocking case, as a number of skeletal remains were unearthed in the backyard. Wangyou immediately told her brother about it.
Finally, by following the clues, many people were brought down, and the ultimate mastermind turned out to be Wangyou and Qixiu's royal uncle.
This imperial uncle not only ran casinos and trafficked people, but also secretly amassed wealth, built underground palaces, and manufactured a large number of weapons and armor, intending to rebel.
Above the evidence lay piles of bones. Even Qi Xiu himself felt ashamed of his favoritism, so this royal uncle became the first member of the royal family to be beheaded.
This served as a warning to other members of the royal family, making an example of them and deterring them from causing trouble for a long time. They quickly dealt with any illegal or criminal activities they had committed.
"Your Highness, what a coincidence!" Wangyou, who was about to try out the newly opened restaurant, saw Jiang Che.
"It's quite a coincidence." Wangyou smiled and continued walking upstairs.
"Princess, we have a horse racing event tomorrow. Are you interested?" Jiang Che caught up with her and asked.
"Tell me about it."
"It's a contest between us spoiled brats and those young masters."
"That sounds quite interesting. Are you confident?"
"Of course I am. I'm not good at reading and writing, but I've never lost a game."
"Then come on."
"Is the princess coming? I'll definitely save the best seat for her," Jiang Che said again, taking advantage of the situation.
"It depends on my mood!" Wangyou casually picked up a piece of pastry and ate it half-heartedly, but mostly she felt lost and bored.
"Princess, it's a lot of fun. I'll introduce Xiaofei to you later."
Who is Xiao Fei?
"Xiao Fei is my mount. It's a magnificent Akhal-Teke horse, incredibly intelligent, but it only listens to me." Jiang Che went on and on about how wonderful his horse was.
"I have one too."
"Does Your Highness enjoy cricket fighting?"
"Cricket?"
“Yes, it’s a cricket. My great general has never been defeated. I’m giving it to the princess.” Jiang Che said, bringing up a jar.
"I will not take what others love, and I am not interested in crickets."
"So, Princess, what are you interested in?"
"I don't know." Wangyou looked out the window with a blank expression, her eyes filled with a deep sense of desolation.
"Your Highness, the dishes are served." Tingyu interrupted Wangyou's thoughts. In that instant, she felt as if the princess was about to drift away with the wind.
When Jiang Che approached, Tingyu initially wanted to push him away, but since Wangyou was willing to talk to people, Tingyu couldn't bear to interrupt. For her, her master's well-being was her well-being.
"I'm going to eat now. Are you going to stay here?"
"Since the princess has invited me, I must obey." Jiang Che shamelessly stayed, and even brazenly took over the task of serving dishes from Tingyu.
