Chapter 130: Chapter 130: I’m Going to Die, Do You Want to Join Me?
The next day, early in the morning, the streets of Shengjing were bustling and lively.
Shen Hua felt a tightness in her chest and short of breath. After hastily consuming some breakfast, she asked Ningzhu to clear it away.
A ’clatter’ sounded.
The golden hairpin from her hair fell to the ground. Her dark hair cascaded down. She pursed her lips, bending over to pick it up.
Hearing her own voice saying, "Go to Qingtong Alley."
Yicui was startled.
"Miss is planning to..."
Before she could finish, Shen Hua harshly interrupted her.
"Who said I was going to see her."
"I just want to see with my own eyes, what was it that year worth abandoning everything for."
"Seeing her having a hard time would indeed cheer me up."
Clearly awkward, yet pretending to be malicious. Miss Shen, as always, did not mean what she said.
Yicui knew well, if You Qing was having a miserable life, she would definitely call her foolish, and in secret, think of ways to help her.
Indeed, Miss Shen holds grudges, yet also harbors nostalgia.
"Yes, yes, yes. I will instruct Cheng Gui to prepare the carriage."
Shen Hua nodded demurely and, after applying rouge, left the house.
"Miss Shen."
Ji Huo, who had come prepared to Shen Hua’s residence, did not expect to run into her before reaching the pear garden. He suavely stepped forward and struck his most handsome pose.
"It must be fate between us, casually walking around and bumping into you."
The girl, wrapped round and plump, her head buried in a fox fur scarf, slightly lifted her eyes upon hearing this.
Lips red, teeth white, yet delicate and tender.
"Fate?"
She gave Ji Huo a quick once-over.
"Prince Gong Mansion is five streets away from the pear garden. If the Princely Heir walked here, he must have started out at night."
Shen Hua pointedly said, "Are you that idle?"
Ji Huo, who had seen countless women, was taken aback.
He thought, perhaps Shen Hua does not like subtlety. So he spoke straightforwardly.
"I admit, I came specifically to find you."
"A glimpse at the banquet, truly unforgettable. Therefore, I specially came here. Miss Shen, don’t find me impudent, it’s merely where my heart lies."
Shen Hua furrowed her brows.
If it wasn’t for Cui Yun’s special hint last time, she would have doubted that Ji Huo came here solely to boast about his fearlessness of the dark, able to walk five streets on foot.
Shen Hua did not want to deal with this frivolous man; slowly, she walked passed him towards the direction of the carriage.
With a ’swish’.
Ji Huo flicked open his folding fan, blocking Shen Hua’s path.
"Miss Shen, where are you hurrying to? Perhaps it’s on the way, how about giving me a ride?"
He really is greasy and shameless.
Shen Hua coldly scoffed, "What? If I’m going to die, do you want to join me?"
Ji Huo: ???
When you pity the ribs, you aren’t like this!!!
Clearly, he wasn’t impressive enough.
All the women who admired him relied on his status and wealth.
"Miss Shen, I have to call the current Your Majesty ’Uncle’. I am the legitimate son of Prince Gong Mansion. Forgive my boldness, Miss Shen, with your beauty and grace, you deserve the elegance of fine clothes and nourishing food, how could you be confined to this small courtyard."
Ji Huo glanced behind at the slightly cramped pear garden gate, making a comparison.
"This courtyard of yours is not even as big as the house of my most favored concubine."
Sure enough, Shen Hua looked at him seriously.
"Are you flaunting your wealth?"
To flaunt wealth in front of her???
In this aspect, what difference is there from calling Shen Hua ugly? Shen Hua couldn’t tolerate it.
She wasn’t in a hurry to leave anymore.
Ji Huo suppressed his beating heart. His words were passionate yet ruthless.
"If you’re willing to follow me, I’ll have that concubine move out and vacate that house for you."
Shen Hua sneered with amusement, her eyes sharp: "That Jianan Wood ring on your finger isn’t bad."
Her gaze then slightly shifted to the obstructive fan: "This must be a silk fan, right? Made with high mountain bamboo for the frame and natural silk for the fan surface, smooth as silk."
Ji Huo didn’t expect Shen Hua to be so knowledgeable. Pride turned into witty talk: "These are treasures, hard to find in the market. Price aside, even if one has money, without connections, they are hard to buy. Miss Shen truly has an eye for treasures."
Shen Hua’s tone was calm: "My knowledge isn’t that extensive."
"It’s just that my brother once had three of these rings, they were for me to casually play with. I broke two and lost one."
"And about this fan."
Shen Hua remembered she had one too. Compared to other treasures, it was inconspicuous, and she had also forgotten where she had put it.
Before she could speak, Yicui intervened, neither servile nor overbearing.
"Miss, perhaps you forgot, you gave the folding fan to a servant two years ago."
Ji Huo: ???
Who are you trying to fool!
He didn’t believe it.
This girl, when boasting, really had quite the manner.
She had him fooled.
Shen Hua lifted her chin, coldly and haughtily: "Such petty tricks might deceive a poor wench, but you dare to bring them before me?"
Shen Hua, with her considerable fortune, stated: "I can pull out a silver note of ten thousand taels anytime, tear it in front of you, and consider it a loss if I blink. Can you do that?"
Ji Huo: ...The treasury wouldn’t even give him a thousand taels in one go.
"Move aside, you’re blocking my way."
Her presence was strong, she haughtily got into the carriage. Ji Huo couldn’t understand how a little girl from a small alley dared to do so!
The wheels turned, stirring up dust, blowing it into Ji Huo’s face.
Sister-in-law Wang had been paying attention to the commotion here for a long while!
She waddled forward, looking Ji Huo up and down with disdain.
"The people from the small alley are the most genuine, better not to come seek young girls here next time! Miss Shen is a married woman!"
Ji Huo didn’t believe a word.
With his sharp eyes, used to mingling in women’s circles, could he not see that Shen Hua was untouched, still a virgin?
Frustrated and gloomy, he left with a stern face, thinking Shen Hua didn’t know what’s good for her.
Sister-in-law Wang, fearing this man would persistently harass Shen Hua, shouted towards his retreating back: "Her husband loves her dearly, even gave her his most treasured Vajra Bodhi Bracelet to wear."
"I’ve lived half my life, but this is the first time I’ve seen such lustrous, radiant beads. Unbelievably beautiful."
Ji Huo’s steps halted, almost stumbling.
Vajra Bodhi Bracelet?
The Vajra Bodhi Bracelet he knew of?
Yes, yesterday, Cui Yun wasn’t wearing it on his hand!
Ji Huo felt conflicted.
With a dark face, he headed straight towards Prince Ge Mansion.
Having seen Ji Qing earlier, the distress on Ji Ge’s face had not faded away, when he was then confronted by a furious Ji Huo.
Upon seeing him, Ji Huo directly stated his purpose: "Cui Yun has dishonorable intentions towards Miss Shen!"
Ji Ge paused.
Exposed?
"It wasn’t intentional..."
Ji Huo: "And you consider him a brother, yet he conceals this from you! If not for me telling you, you would have been clueless."
Ji Ge: ...
Ji Huo: "Is Miss Shen that wealthy? He dares to look down upon my wealth!"
Ji Ge: ...
No way, no way, you’re comparing wealth with Shen Hua?
Ji Ge struggled to keep the corners of his mouth from turning up into a smirk. Just as he listened to Ji Huo make a desperate vow.
"The girl Cui Yun is after, I must snatch her even more!"
Ji Ge: ...
If Cui Yun is indeed superior, just having eyes would be enough. Why would Shen Hua abandon a fine gem for Ji Huo, such an irritating fellow?
Ji Huo was somewhat unaware of himself.
Ji Ge: "I support you!"
