A Bet
A Generous Gift?
Haha!
Someone immediately chimed in, "What gift? Miss Tang is the best gift we can give him. Our gifts can't compare."
"Yes, yes, yes. You're right."
… …
The more they spoke, the more excited they became.
As the leader of the imperial bodyguards, Lang Po naturally had to express his gratitude. He cupped his hands in salute, "Congratulations in advance, Young Master Mo. May you have many grandchildren and a happy family."
A rough man was indeed a rough man. Even his congratulatory words were so vulgar.
Mo Ruo's face turned green. He looked at Jing Rong, "Are you going to take care of this?"
Jing Rong smiled. He grabbed a wooden stick and poked it into the fire, causing sparks to fly.
"This Prince feels that they're right." He raised his eyebrows, "Let me congratulate you in advance. When we return to the capital, this Prince will give you a few pots of good wine. I hope that you can indulge in your wedding night."
Bah!
Mo Ruo swept a glance at him.
Are we still brothers? Or did they grow up together in diapers?
Jing Rong ignored the look he shot at him and continued to fiddle with the sparks.
Mo Ruo turned to Ji Yunshu and asked, "Are you going to take care of this man?"
Sure enough, he got shot while lying down!
The corner of Ji Yunshu's mouth twitched. She spread her hands, "Forgive this one for being powerless."
"Ah!"
Mo Ruo was about to explode. He moved his butt half a fist's length to the side, but Tang Si moved with him.
She pursed her lips and rubbed her hands together. She stole a glance at Mo Ruo from the corner of her eyes, but all she got in return was a look of disdain. She quickly retracted her coquettish demeanor and snatched the fire stick from his hand, throwing it at his feet. Tang Si, on the other hand, moved along with Jing Rong. Her face flushed red from everyone's comments. She pursed her lips coquettishly, rubbing her hands together. She then snuck a glance at Mo Ruo.
"Hmph!"
He got up angrily and walked into the depths of the forest.
The fire stick landed at his feet. The sparks just happened to touch the tail of Mo Ruo's robe and caught fire.
Whoosh!
Ugh!
He quickly got up and waved his sleeves to quickly extinguish the fire. There was a big hole in his clothes and the surroundings were blackened. He was also scared to the point that his face turned pale. If he was burned to death before he was killed, that would be too unjust.
Jing Rong looked at him regretfully, thinking that he was going to say something to show his concern.
Who knew —
"Don't you think Miss Tang is really something? There are so many fire sticks out there, but she just had to snatch the one in this Prince's hand. Look at that stick, it was originally straight, but now it's been burnt to ashes. What a pity."
Puff –
Mo Ruo almost vomited blood.
He glared at them. "Did you do this on purpose?"
Everyone laughed unabashedly!
However, Ji Yunshu suddenly reminded him, "You should hurry and check on Miss Tang. What if something happens to her in the forest?"
"I'm not going." Mo Ruo sat down. "Didn't she say she grew up in the mountains? If you're not even afraid of wolves, why would you be afraid of ghosts? "
He didn't want to go. It would be best if that woman lost her way in the forest and starved for a few days.
Jing Rong stopped teasing him and gave him a kick. "Hurry up and go check on her. We're not far from the capital. Don't cause any more trouble."
In order to save face, Mo Ruo hesitated for a long time before reluctantly chasing after her.
Before he left, he didn't forget to grumble. "What kind of bloody luck did I have?!"
Everyone burst into laughter again.
"That Miss Tang is really interesting. Don't be fooled by her wild temperament and bad temper. She's just the right person to deal with Young Master Mo. Don't you think so?"
"You've found the right person. However, Young Master Mo will have a hard time for the rest of his life."
"You can't say that. Women will change after they get married. When the time comes, Young Master Mo will definitely be warmed to death."
"However, women must be disciplined. You can't just ignore them. Sometimes, you have to give them some benefits. This way, they'll be dead set on you."
"The women you're talking about aren't Miss Tang. Look, who dares to offend her? Even if they get married, they won't necessarily be able to support their husband and raise their children."
A bunch of men who hadn't even settled down yet were talking about their married lives. It was as if they had experienced it themselves.
"In any case, I'll make a bet with you. In the future, Young Master Mo will definitely be the one to lose."
"I bet that Miss Tang will lose."
"What are we betting on?"
"Silver."
"Come, come, come. Place your bets!"
Thus, someone became the banker. Everyone took out their silver and placed their bets.
'Hey, hey, hey! Do you think Jing Rong is dead?'
However, Jing Rong didn't get angry. Instead, he watched with interest as everyone placed their bets. He asked, "Who are you betting on more?"
The banker counted and replied, "More bets on Miss Tang than Young Master Mo."
Jing Rong nodded. He silently took out a few silver ingots from his pocket and handed them over.
"This Prince is betting on Mo Ruo being better than Miss Tang."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The banker took the silver ingots and asked again, "Your Highness, are you sure?"
"Mo Ruo grew up with this Prince. No matter what, I have to help him win some face, lest he loses too badly."
Pfft!
Everyone felt as if they had been punched in the face. Blood spurted out. Quick, quick, quick! Bring a basin of blood over!
This Prince's mouth is really poisonous!
Jing Rong didn't care. He was a Prince, but also a human. What's wrong with betting? Who said that a Prince can't bet?
Really!
The next moment, Ji Yunshu also took out a tael of silver from her pocket and handed it to the banker.
The banker asked, "Teacher Ji, who do you bet on to win?"
She thought about it.
"Hmm … I'll bet on a leopard."
A leopard?
The guards stared blankly at her. Why was there a leopard?
"Teacher Ji, there's no leopard here!"
"How can there be no leopard? If I say there is, then there must be. "
Even Jing Rong looked at her in bewilderment.
Ji Yunshu said, "I bet that if the two of them really get married, they will live in harmony. Isn't it a leopard?"
Oh, it's true!
Everyone reacted, and a few of them changed their bets and placed their bets on a leopard.
They were very busy.
Jing Rong stared at her.
Ji Yunshu asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I haven't seen you this happy these past few days."
She smiled. "I'm just worried about Wei Yi. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to me."
Jing Rong nodded.
Meanwhile, Mo Ruo was busy chasing after Tang Si.
He didn't know what happened to that lass. She disappeared in a flash, and he couldn't find her anywhere.
It was late at night. Other than the sound of the wind and the occasional howl of a wolf, there was basically no other sound in the forest.
Mo Ruo was a martial artist, so he walked with his toes touching the ground, so he didn't make any sound.
He held a match in his hand and illuminated the surroundings. There were trees and short weeds everywhere.
"Where did she go? Did she really get eaten by a wolf? I'm just saying. I hope nothing happens to her. "
