The house was divided into the front, the middle, and the back.
There was a small hall in the front courtyard for receiving guests.
On both sides were long hallways that led to the backyard.
There were seven or eight rooms in the backyard.
Behind them were the kitchen and the fire room.
The mansion wasn't big, but the layout was neat and tidy!
It could accommodate more than ten people.
Song Zhi put down the things and said, "This place is very good, it's just a bit dirty, but it doesn't matter, I'll go get some water later and wash it up."
Bai Yin suddenly said, "I'll clean up with you later."
"No need. You guys just need to rest. Besides, you're still injured."
"If you clean alone, we won't be able to move in for a few days."
"…" Song Zhi felt awkward.
Jing Rong instructed his men, "All of you, help out later. See if there's anything missing inside. When the time comes, we'll fill it up."
"Yes, young master," the guard replied.
Ji Yunshu took a stroll around the courtyard.
She liked it here because the house was located at the back of the alley, far away from the main street and very quiet.
There were also a few old trees planted around it.
He looked quite satisfied!
After putting everything away, everyone worked together to clean up the mansion.
It was finally done at night.
He was also extremely tired!
Song Zhi did the most work and was completely exhausted.
He quickly packed up and went to bed early.
At this time, Jing Rong, Ji Yunshu, and Bai Yin were sitting in the hall discussing some matters.
Bai Yin said, "Third Master said that we'll go look for that person once we reach Gaoding, but he didn't want us to make it public."
Jing Rong pondered for a moment and guessed, "Only Gao Ding and that person's name are known, but no specific address. Perhaps even Third Master himself doesn't know whether that person is still in Gao Ding or not. After all, decades have passed."
"As long as there's a sliver of hope, we have to find it!"
"But Gaoding City is so big. How are we going to find him? If we can't make it public, we can only investigate in secret. This is obviously much more difficult. "
"We're already at Gaoding, so there's no need to rush. Let's rest for the night and look for it tomorrow. "
"Alright."
The three of them were indeed tired!
Since he was already here, it didn't matter if he searched a day earlier or a day later.
After leaving the hall, they returned to their respective rooms to rest.
Ji Yunshu noticed that Jing Rong's mind was preoccupied.
Actually, she had noticed it long ago!
She had noticed him the moment he entered the city.
Did she know what he was thinking?
What are you worried about?
Sure enough, not long after she returned to her room, she opened the window and saw a figure flashing to the roof, quickly disappearing into the night.
Judging from the figure, it was obviously Jing Rong!
Ji Yunshu did not stop him.
But —
However, Bai Yin saw it.
He rushed out of the room at once.
Prepare to give chase!
"Don't chase after him!" Ji Yunshu shouted.
Bai Yin stopped in her tracks and looked at Ji Yunshu, who was standing in front of the window and gazing at the roof.
Where did he go? "
Ji Yunshu was silent for a moment before replying, "Third Wangfu."
…
Third Marquis Residence.
Jing Xuan was sitting in front of the mirror in the room, tattooing words on a handkerchief.
The maidservant standing behind her was taking off the ornaments on her head.
The maidservant looked at her embroidery and asked, "Wangfei, what are you embroidering?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know? I don't know how to do it. "
She smiled but didn't say anything.
The maidservant looked at her in the mirror and couldn't help exclaiming, "Wangfei is so beautiful."
She continued to smile without saying a word.
At this time —
A voice came from outside, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
Your Highness?
How could this be?
Apart from the day of the wedding, the Third Prince, Na Tuo, had never set foot here in the past year.
However, the heavy footsteps were enough to prove that it was indeed Na Tuo.
The maidservant who was taking off Jing Xuan's ornaments quickly turned around and knelt on the ground.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Na Tuo reeked of alcohol and his face was flushed red. He staggered in from outside.
As soon as he entered, he lost his balance and his shoulders heavily hit the door frame.
"Dong!"
That sound made people's hearts tremble.
Jing Xuan slowly put down the handkerchief in her hand and immediately stood up. She bowed. "Greetings, Your Highness."
Na Tuo snorted and ordered the maidservant, "Leave."
"Yes!" The maidservant didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly left.
Na Tuo slowly walked towards Jing Xuan. When he was in front of her, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin.
He fiercely lifted it up.
Jing Xuan's eyes met his.
Jing Xuan looked at the person in front of her. This was her husband!
A man who looked at her with eyes full of hatred.
Na Tuo narrowed his drunken eyes and looked at her. He sneered. "What a beautiful face!"
"…"
"Unfortunately … you're a jinx!" Na Tuo said through gritted teeth.
Jing Xuan calmly looked at him.
There were no emotional fluctuations.
One year was enough for her to see through everything.
Na Tuo curled his evil lips and slowly approached her. Finally, he put his head near her ear and sniffed. "So fragrant!"
He completely looked like a drunkard.
But —
Before Jing Xuan could react, Na Tuo suddenly threw the wine bottle in his hand to the ground.
"Peng!"
It smashed into pieces!
At the same time, Na Tuo forcefully flung Jing Xuan's chin.
Her whole body was thrown to the ground.
Both of her hands cut the broken bottle.
Blood immediately came out.
She didn't feel the slightest bit of pain.
She only felt that her whole body was numb. Na Tuo's body swayed a few times. He pointed at her. "I thought that after marrying you, I would be able to sit on the throne. Who knew that you're a jinx. It's all because of you! Because of your brother's rebellion, he was labeled as a traitor. Father must have taken this into consideration, that's why he didn't appoint me as the heir apparent.
This is all your fault as the heir apparent. If I had known earlier, I would have canceled the marriage when your brother rebelled. Now, I wouldn't be in this predicament. "
Jing Xuan let him roar and scold her!
She knew very well where the Third Prince's anger came from.
Her brother was a traitor!
This caused her identity to be very sensitive. If Na Tuo really became the new king of Huyi, she would be the Mother of Huyi. But she was the sister of a traitor. How could she be the Mother of Huyi?
The King of Huyi probably thought of this. That was why he had been hesitating between the Third Prince and the Second Prince.
It was no wonder that Na Tuo hated her to the bone for the past year.
Na Tuo saw that Jing Xuan still didn't speak and still looked like a corpse. He was even more furious!
He immediately squatted down and grabbed her chin again.
He lifted it up.
He said fiercely, "Do you know how many times I wanted to kill you?"
His words suddenly made Jing Xuan laugh.
Her cold eyes met his fierce gaze and she laughed. "Then you can kill me!"
