Yang Yunzheng smiled slightly . She didn’t seem to feel that Shi Huiru was reckless in asking . She calmly replied: “My brother is at home . He might come over soon . ”
It was just a reply that was not certain, but the ladies had already made the faces of joy . They pulled Yang Yunzheng to sit with them and started chatting .
“Is it true that the day before yesterday, the prince used a few splashes of ink to paint the House of the Banished Immortal, and painted a three-foot-long beautiful landscape in less than an hour?”
“I heard that someone is going to buy this painting for a thousand taels of gold!”
“Doesn’t the prince refuse to sell? The painting could be in the house . Can we take a look?”
Yang Yunzheng smiled slightly: “My brother paints in the street, and my father said he was messing around and he has already been punished . ”
After saying this, Shi Huiru looked astonished: “This is a good opportunity to make the prince famous . Why should Lord Hou punish him?”
Yang Yunzheng said: “Father said that he is too proud of his talents . There is no such thing as a modest gentleman . ”
Shi Huiru was obviously very dissatisfied with the punishment of the Changting Hou prince: “What do mean he’s too proud? The prince is so good at painting, are these amazing geniuses going to be buried?”
Everyone started discussing immediately, obviously agreeing with Shi Huiru’s statement .
When Yu Linglong heard what these boudoir daughters said, she felt very bored, so she turned around to admire the peony flowers next to her .
It happened that a maid came to pour tea, and when Yu Linglong turned around, the teacup in that maid’s hand was not held firmly, and it was directly knocked on Yu Linglong’s lap!
“Ouch!” she exclaimed . The maid was so scared that she threw herself onto her knees, “Miss, forgive me, I didn’t mean it!”
The movement here was not small, and even Yang Yunzheng looked over .
Yu Linglong stood up and dusted the remaining tea leaves off her body . The maid who was kneeling on the ground came back to her senses, tidying up her clothes for Yu Linglong in a panic while begging for mercy .
Fortunately, the clothes of the ancients were thick, otherwise, the hot tea would be really uncomfortable .
Yu Linglong’s gaze fell on the maid’s cuffs, and she paused for a moment, but in a flash, she revealed a wistful smile .
The maid didn’t notice Yu Linglong’s eyes . She looked in the direction of Yang Yunzheng with horror . She repeatedly kowtowed to Yu Linglong: “Miss, forgive me! Miss, forgive me!”
If you do something wrong on such an occasion, unfortunately, this maid will be punished, right?
Sure enough, Yang Yunzheng frowned in that direction, turned her head, and said a few words to the maid behind her . The maid walked over and apologized to Yu Linglong: “This maid of our house has no rules . Please forgive her . ”
She said sharply to the maid who was kneeling on the ground: “What is your name!?”
The maid was trembling with fright: “I’m called Bai Zhi . ”
The maid yelled coldly: “Bai Zhi? The Third Lady has an order to revoke your three-month pay, and you will immediately go down and get twenty lashes!”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse . com]
Bai Zhi burst into tears but did not dare to argue . She kowtowed to Yang Yunzheng from a distance, and then went down to receive the punishment .
“Hold on!” Yu Linglong, who had been silent for a long time, stopped Bai Zhi . She smiled at the maid on her side, her pretty face suddenly radiant, “She didn’t mean it . I don’t blame her . It’s better to let your lady take back her fate, okay?”
Everyone’s complicated eyes were projected immediately . It was just an irrelevant little maid . Why did the Fourth Lady Yu want to help her?
Yu Linglong didn’t mean to explain . Although she faced the maid who was speaking, she looked at Yang Yunzheng not far away, as if she was waiting for her decision .
Yang Yunzheng paused and showed Yu Linglong a gentle smile: “Since Fourth Lady Yu doesn’t blame her, let’s drop it . ”
Obviously, Shi Huiru beside her had already told Yang Yunzheng of Yu Linglong’s ident.i.ty .
Bai Zhi was suddenly pardoned, and she was still a little at a loss . The maid had already spoken to remind: “Hurry up and thank Fourth Lady Yu for her magnanimity!”
Bai Zhi hurriedly knelt down with grat.i.tude on her face: “I thank you, Fourth Lady Yu!”
Then she raised her head timidly and said, “Fourth Lady Yu, your clothes are wet . Why don’t you let me take you to change . ”
A sharp look flashed across Yu Linglong’s eyes, but a light smile appeared on her face: “Okay . ”
After speaking, Yu Linglong stood up and signaled Bai Zhi to lead the way .
It was just a small turmoil, and laughter resumed in a flash . No one noticed that Bai Zhi left the banquet with Yu Linglong and walked towards the inner courtyard .
Turning around a rockery, the laughter in the garden was almost inaudible . Looking at the back of Bai Zhi who led the way, Yu Linglong’s eyes flashed with impatience .
These people are sneaky, what are they going to do!?
The bare hand stretched out quickly and grabbed Bai Zhi’s arm . Before Bai Zhi could scream, Yu Linglong crushed her onto the rockery!
The slender arm pressed against Bai Zhi’s neck, full of threatening power . Yu Linglong narrowed her eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: “Speak, who asked you to come!?”
Bai Zhi was shocked, and said with a trembling voice: “Fourth Lady Yu, what are you talking about? I don’t understand!”
Yu Linglong sneered and pinched Bai Zhi’s cuff!
“Ah—” Bai Zhi suddenly let out a scream of pain, but when she saw what was in Yu Linglong’s hand, she bit her lips tightly .
Because at this moment, she was more afraid of being discovered than Yu Linglong .
Yu Linglong held a golden bracelet in her hand and shook it before Bai Zhi’s eyes .
“I really want to know how a little maid serving tea and water can afford such an expensive bracelet!”
Bai Zhi was so frightened that tears rolled out of her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly: “This…this is…the maid was rewarded by the young lady!”
Yu Linglong sneered: “Oh? Since your lady values you so much, how can she not even know your name!?”
Bai Zhi’s face suddenly turned pale with fright, and she was dumbfounded for a while, not knowing how to explain .
Yu Linglong showed a cold smile, but the strength in her hand was relieved .
“Lead the way!” Yu Linglong shouted in a deep voice, “I actually want to see who wants to see me!”
Bai Zhi had escaped death, and her face was pale with fright . Staggering in front of Yu Linglong, she didn’t dare to make any tricks .
Until she walked to a quiet pavilion, the psychologically tortured Bai Zhi could no longer hold back and threw herself on her knees: “Fourth Lady Yu, the person who wants to see you is inside . Please forgive me . I’m afraid!”
Yu Linglong looked at the closed door and strode forward, only to drop a word stiffly: “Go!”
Bai Zhi was anxious to hear this and immediately escaped .
Yu Linglong no longer bothered to look at Bai Zhi . When she reached the door, she paused, and slowly pushed the door open with her delicate hand .
She wanted to know, who took great pains to lie to her to come over?
Stretching her feet across the threshold, Yu Linglong suddenly heard a fluttering wind sound . She suddenly turned sideways, but she was already hit on her shoulders!
Yu Linglong reacted swiftly . Just as she felt something was on her shoulders, she immediately squatted slightly, let go of her strength, and then quickly turned around . At the same time, she stretched out her hand and pinched the thing that attacked her accurately .
In the next moment, she could see the person behind her clearly .
