Chapter 52 Don't mind?
"You!..." Bei Muwanyan was surprised when she saw Xiao Jin while discussing important matters.
Less than an hour had passed, and Xiao Jin, who should have been bruised and battered, was completely unharmed, as if nothing had happened. Bei Mu Wanyan was utterly bewildered and instinctively looked at Ye Bufan.
Ye Bufan shrugged, as if to say, "I already told you that."
At this moment, Bei Muwanyan completely believed what Ye Bufan had said, even the words "difficult reasons"!
At this point, Bei Mu Wanyan shook her head helplessly, then looked at Xiao Jin with a teasing smile: "If you have any further needs, this princess would not mind accompanying you!" As she spoke, she rubbed her fists together.
"..." Ye Bufan was speechless.
"You don't mind?" Xiao Jin looked at the two peaks in response to Bei Mu Wanyan's words.
But Bei Muwanyan pretended not to see it.
One has to admire Bei Mu Wanyan's temperament as a young lady. She was teased and embarrassed by Xiao Jin, but in the blink of an eye, she didn't feel embarrassed at all. On the contrary, Xiao Jin was a little embarrassed.
Xiao Jin withdrew his gaze, feigning a light cough while glancing at Ye Bufan. Ye Bufan immediately understood and looked at Bei Muwanyan: "Regarding what was mentioned in the letter, the princess can reply to calm things down first. As for..." At this point, Ye Bufan looked at Xiao Jin.
"..."
Xiao Jin knew what Ye Bufan meant, but it was rather unfair to shift the blame onto him at this moment.
Sure enough, Bei Mu Wanyan looked over again, making Xiao Jin feel somewhat uncomfortable, and he had no way to respond to Bei Mu Wanyan.
Fortunately, a servant came to report and eased the awkward situation: "Princess Jiu wants to buy grain and is currently in the front hall."
Just as he was worrying, the Ninth Princess came to his door herself. Xiao Jin immediately stood up and said, "For your sake, Princess, I have to go and meet the Ninth Princess!" After saying that, Xiao Jin slipped away.
Watching Xiao Jin's departing figure, Bei Mu Wanyan's expression was—why was it all for me?
At this moment, in the spacious hall of Tongzhou Grain Store, a wooden counter was worn smooth and shiny. A clerk was measuring rice for an old farmer. The wooden measuring cup was scraped and poured in the clerk's hands, and the grains were stored with precision.
The crisp sound of the abacus beads rose and fell, mixed with the tinkling of silver threads passing through the hands.
A young girl entered through the main gate, her face exquisitely beautiful with an oval shape and skin as white as snow, so delicate it seemed as if it could be broken with a touch. Her bright, almond-shaped eyes shone with undisguised arrogance, and her slightly raised eyebrows revealed a hint of willfulness.
Her naturally red lips were pursed arrogantly, as if she harbored a hint of dissatisfaction with everything in the world.
This woman was none other than the Ninth Princess, Chu Wan, who had come with her maid!
When Xiao Jin arrived, the Ninth Princess was talking to the shopkeeper. Her brows were furrowed, showing displeasure and a hint of helplessness. Xiao Jin noticed that she seemed to be suppressing some kind of emotion.
The grain was sold at the market price without any additional cash, but the quantity was limited, leaving the Ninth Princess with no outlet for her emotions, since the Tongzhou grain store was buying grain at a price higher than the market price.
"Miss, why don't we go and look around at other grain stores?" A maid outside claimed that the Ninth Princess was a young lady.
Although she couldn't understand why the Tongzhou Grain Store was doing this, even though Chu Wan was the Ninth Princess, she couldn't force the Tongzhou Grain Store to make things difficult for them, since they were doing good deeds on the surface.
The Ninth Princess, looking helpless and hesitant to speak, heard her maid preparing to leave.
Xiao Jin hurriedly stepped forward: "May I ask if the Ninth Princess bought the grain for the charity porridge distribution?"
Hearing the sound, the Ninth Princess stopped and turned around. She glanced at Xiao Jin, but then looked at the old shopkeeper who was standing there looking uneasy.
The shopkeeper immediately clasped his hands in a respectful bow: "I was unaware of the Ninth Princess's presence. Please forgive my rudeness." He then gestured to Xiao Jin, "This young master is the young owner of my Tongzhou Grain Store."
"She's quite the actress!" How could the shopkeeper not know the Ninth Princess's identity? Xiao Jin quite approved of the shopkeeper.
Following the shopkeeper's gaze to Xiao Jin, the Ninth Princess's eyes were like frost-covered glass, cool yet icy, and carrying an innate scrutiny, as if she had some doubts about Xiao Jin.
Under this scrutiny, the Ninth Princess responded hesitantly, "So what if it is?" Her four words were as cold as a sharp sword piercing Xiao Jin.
"What the hell does this woman mean?" Feeling the Ninth Princess's gaze, Xiao Jin shuddered involuntarily before grinning lewdly.
"Then this grain cannot be sold to the princess!"
Before the Ninth Princess could react, the maid beside her exclaimed anxiously, "You!...!"
The Ninth Princess raised her hand to stop the maid: "Let's go!"
"......"
"Why didn't this woman wait for me to finish speaking!" Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Jin swallowed his words and watched helplessly as the Ninth Princess walked out of the grain store.
"That's fine too!"
The shopkeeper looked puzzled: "This..."
"Presumably, this will make the Ninth Princess dislike me..." He then turned to the innkeeper: "Send a messenger to tell the Ninth Princess that I, the young master, am willing to donate grain and porridge!"
"Alright! I'll go myself!"
"Taking off your pants to fart is completely unnecessary; I really don't know what you're thinking, you lecher!"
"..."
The voice belonged to Bei Mu Wanyan. Xiao Jin frowned and turned around to look. He saw Bei Mu Wanyan not far away, with her arms crossed and looking at him with a strange expression.
"Is this tigress going to try and cling to me?"
"What, do you intend to repeat the same trick on the Ninth Princess?" Bei Muwanyan slowly walked towards Xiao Jin, her words and actions full of provocation.
"Good heavens! This tiger girl is a real tiger! What a waste of such a beautiful face!" As Bei Mu Wanyan got closer, Xiao Jin's heart pounded uncontrollably.
Just as the two peaks were about to press against Xiao Jin's chest, Bei Mu Wanyan suddenly pulled away, saying with a hint of amusement, "I'm not messing around with you, you lecher!"
"..."
She just beat me up like a volcano erupting from her teasing, and now she's actually seducing me... If this tiger girl is reserved... could it be that she's just playing hard to get and actually wants to take a bite of my tender peach?
Xiao Jin was a little dumbfounded!
At this moment, Bei Mu Wanyan had regained her composure: "Uncle Ye said that the Ninth Princess is key to transporting grain. I wonder if there's anything I can do?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin suddenly realized something and looked Bei Mu Wanyan up and down: "I've heard there's a brothel in this city where, besides those pretentious poets, the Seventh Prince often goes to hunt for beauties!"
Shunhua Bei Mu Wanyan crossed her arms over her chest, her expression very sensitive: "You... what do you want me to do!"
Xiao Jin grinned mischievously and spread his hands: "Didn't you ask for it yourself?"
"You!..." Bei Muwanyan's facial muscles trembled as she clenched her fists, her eyes filled with a hatred that seemed to want to devour Xiao Jin whole!
Just then, a young girl ran into the hall: "Brother Jin! What's going on here...?"
Lin Miao, who had run into the hall from Zuixianlou, looked at Bei Muwanyan's excited expression and clenched fists, then turned to look at Xiao Jin and felt that something was not quite right.
"Brother Jin? Can you be any cuter?!" Although the word "Brother Jin" gave Xiao Jin goosebumps, he was glad that the girl had arrived just in time.
Bei Mu Wanyan snorted coldly and left immediately!
Qin Huang, who entered shortly after, looked at Bei Mu Wanyan, who was leaving in anger, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and then greeted Xiao Jin.
