What a bitter medicine, she would never take it!
The reason for her cooperation was that she didn"t want to annoy Shuo Ling, but it made her have to look at others" evil faces, even without any reason.
In the room, Qiao Shu watched Yang Zijin"s skillful movements. It was a woman, who was the daughter of procuress in the brothel. And what"s even more hateful was that Shuo Ling didn"t mind her at all!
He bathed in this woman"s room and specially asked her to diagnose this woman!
She had made a great effort to obtain an unusual position in Shuo Ling"s heart. But compared with this woman, she was not even as good as a maid.
What exactly happened? How could a woman with such origin win the favor of Shuo Ling?
And what"s wrong with Shuo Ling? Did he change his character?
Outside, Yang Zijin also leaned against the wall and looked up at the sky, feeling melancholy.
Shuo Ling was big trouble and she didn"t know when she could get rid of him.
At this time, Madam Yang came over again with an anxious expression.
"Mom?" Yang Zijin knew something was wrong when she saw Madam Yang"s expression.
"Zijin, tell me the truth. Did you offend some big shot? Ah?"
Yang Zijin felt confused. Who could be a big shot, compared with Shuo Ling?
Madam Yang was shivering with anxiety. She was quite out of breath, "The wife of the Lord Protector is here. She wants to see you! And that Prince, he, he"s there too!"
"What?"
How did Shi Weiming get involved with the people of Lord Protector and come here together? Could it be for her rudeness just now?
It was impossible. As a prince, if Shi Weiming wanted to get even with her, he could do it himself. It was unnecessary to drag in others.
Thinking about it, Yang Zijin decided to have a look.
"My Lord, I..."
Just as she opened her mouth, Shuo Ling"s lazy voice came from the inside room, "Just go, if there is a change, just come to me."
Yang Zijin twitched her mouth. She could never ask him for help!
Spring Breeze was going to be closed today. But when Yang Zijin came to the front hall, she found that all the girls gathered together nervously. She thought that they might be frightened by the successive events.
Yang Zijin frowned and saw that Lu"an was beckoning to her behind the crowd, and then she came over. Lu"an had always been a loyalist. He hastened to tell Yang Zijin what happened today. He came to Shi Weiming to plead for mercy and Shi Weiming promised him to find someone"s help. However, now, he appeared himself here as the prince.
"Got it." Yang Zijin just felt strange, since it was Shi Weiming who drugged Shuo Ling, and why did he still...
Madam Yang panicked and dragged Yang Zijin to the second floor. She stood at the closed door of the guest room with a smile, "d.u.c.h.ess, it is my son, Yang Zijin."
At the door, the two knife-wielding guards opened the door and said coldly, "Go in, Yang Zijin."
Yang Zijin raised her eyebrows. Those people didn"t stay in the Duke mansion and came to the brothel to bully others. What"s wrong with them?
She walked in, but only smelled a choking scent of sandalwood, which made her eyes tear up.
When she looked up again, she saw that there were a number of chairs set up in the room. The one sitting at first was naturally Shi Weiming, with a smile on his face, who didn"t look hostile, and it made Yang Zijin feel a bit relieved.
But behind the first seat, there was a beautiful woman in fancy clothes and a pretty girl as young as Yang Zijin.
Around them, there were covered with a mahogany screen tightly, which blocked out the erotic arrangement of the room.
"Eh-hem." Yang Zijin was a bit helpless, "Your Highness, Madam, and this young lady, if you don"t like the smell of Spring Breeze, why didn"t you summon me outside rather than suffer yourself here?"
The pretty lady"s face was full of anger and said fiercely, "How dare you! Did you have the right to make comments about what the prince and d.u.c.h.ess Mu want to do or not to do?"
"Stop the nonsense." d.u.c.h.ess Mu took the handkerchief and put it on her mouth and nose, and then said in a bad mood, "Mu Yunong, this is your own sister, you cannot be so unruly."
Blood relation...my own sister?
Yang Zijin stared at Shi Weiming who was full of smiles. She confused as to what they were up to again.
The young lady whose name was Mu Yunong glared at Yang Zijin several times in indignation, grunted and turned her head away.
"You"re Zijin?" d.u.c.h.ess Mu looked at her again.
"Yes, I am." Yang Zijin nodded slightly.
d.u.c.h.ess Mu sighed long and said helplessly, "The Lord Protector has been looking for you for more than ten years, not wanting you to be at Jing City, only to be disguised as a man, that"s why we can"t find you. But you"ve always been dressed like a man, and now it"s convenient to restore your ident.i.ty. Later we"ll send those who know about it out of the city and kill them so that no one will know your origin. And, in the future, you can be smooth as your lady, and I can comfort my sister"s spirit in heaven...."
"Wait," Yang Zijin understood something. She pulled a chair and sat opposite them and asked with a smile, "you mean, I am the long-lost child of the mansion of Duke Mu? Are you sure there"s nothing wrong?"
"Zijin, who is Lord Protector? If it weren"t true, how would they come to Spring Breeze with the risk of reputation corrupted?" She Weiming smiled brightly.
Yang Zijin laughed, "d.u.c.h.ess Mu, you mean, you"re my biological mother?"
