Chapter 33: Do Something Proper

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yun Ran sighed and did not notice Nangong Mo’s dark expression and slightly furrowed brows.

What the hell! Where did he get his sweetheart from?

“Lin Wanyue, are you going to jump down yourself? Or should I send you down? Choose one.”

I choose to kick you off!

Yun Ran gestured at the back of Nangong Mo’s head.

“Your Highness, I’m so big. I’ll suffocate the fish. It’s not like the fish provoked you, right? They’re so innocent!”

“Heh… you’re still worried about the fish?”

“Because I’m born kind!”

“Then go down and feed them.”

Slap! Squeeze! Squeeze! Stab! Head twisted off! Teeth smashed! Claws crippled!

Even though Nangong Mo did not turn around, he knew that Yun Ran was following behind him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he flicked his finger.

A peanut flew out of his fingertip and accurately flicked onto Yun Ran’s forehead.

“Ouch!”

Yun Ran covered her forehead and lowered her head to look for the ‘weapon’. When she found the peanut, she picked it up and fed it to Nangong Mo.

“Your Highness, I bought a very delicious candy today. Try one!”

Nangong Mo was speechless. She was a wretched woman who lies without blinking!

“You’re bullying the blind. Be careful not to get struck by lightning.”

Was he joking? Would Yun Ran be afraid of being struck by lightning? While he was talking, she quickly stuffed the peanut into his mouth.

Nangong Mo was speechless.

“Hahaha, delicious… Ah! Let go, let go! Nangong Mo, are you a dog? Oh… I was wrong, I was wrong! Let go…”

When the man finally relented, her heart trembled as she saw the bite marks on her tender fingers.

This lady’s slender jade claws!

Bitten by a dog!

Sad!

“Your Highness, no girl will like you if you’re like this, understand?”

The man snorted in answer, full of pride and disdain.

Hmph? I curse you to become an old bachelor!

At the Marquis of Ding’an’s Residence, Madam Zhen was crying about their tragic encounter in the Lin residence, berating Yun Ran and Nangong Mo for their atrocities, and crying out for justice for Zhen Fantong.

She was crying so hard that her makeup was ruined.

In the end, she sniffed and looked at the middle-aged man beside her with tears in her eyes. “Marquis, you have to stand up for Tong!”

Compared to her grief and indignation, the Marquis of Ding’an seemed a little too calm.

He sipped his tea and said indifferently, “That’s the Prince of Qin after all. Although he’s no longer favored, no one can understand His Majesty’s thoughts. Why do you have to provoke him?”

When Madam Zhen heard this, she wondered if he was not going to seek justice for Tong.

“Marquis, we only have this one son! Now that he has suffered so much, can you take this lying down as his father? What’s there to be afraid of? In the past, he was in the limelight and no one could match his favor! However, his biological mother did such a shameful thing. The emperor had long despised him. It was already…”

The Marquis slammed the cup in his hand on the table. The sound of the collision made Madam Zhen tremble and she suddenly fell silent.

When she looked up, she saw the Marquis of Ding’an’s face was as dark as water. His voice was cold and heavy. “Lin! Be careful with your words!”

Madam Zhen’s heart trembled. She twisted the handkerchief between her fingers and felt a little uneasy. “Marquis, I, I, I misspoke. Please forgive me…”

“Forget it. Since the doctor has already seen him, you can just take care of him. You’ve been tired for a day, so you should rest early.”

With that, Marquis of Ding’an stood up, flicked his sleeve, and prepared to leave.

Madam Zhen mustered her courage and grabbed a corner of his sleeve. When she met his indifferent gaze, Madam Zhen’s heart trembled, but she still braced herself and said in a low voice, “Marquis, if you’re not in the Songhua Compound tonight, are you… having dinner?”

She wanted to ask him to stay the night, but when the words were about to come out of her mouth, Madam Zhen changed her mind.

“No, I have to go to the palace to meet the emperor later.”

It was not until the Marquis of Ding’an had walked far away that Madam Zhen came back to her senses in a daze. She was a little happy.

“The Marquis still cares about us. He must have gone to the palace to seek justice from the emperor!”

The maidservant, Chun He, walked forward and added a cloak for Madam Zhen.

“Madam, you’re just too sad and overthinking. The Marquis only has you as his wife and doesn’t even have a concubine by his side. In the entire capital, which royal descendant would do this? Which lord doesn’t have many wives and concubines?”

Madam Zhen thought for a moment and couldn’t help but smile proudly. “That’s true. Every time we gather, those old women are envious that I’m the only one who’s favored!”

“That’s right! Besides, the heir is the only bloodline of the Marquis. How can the Marquis not care about him? Therefore, Madam, don’t worry. The Marquis will definitely seek justice for the heir!”

Despite her own words, Chun He had her doubts. After serving Madam for so many years, she often had the impression that the Marquis did not love his wife at all. In fact, he was indifferent to the heir.

However, Madam was the only mistress of the Marquis’s residence, and the heir was also the only son of the Marquis. It was really unreasonable to say that he did not care about them!

After thinking about it, Chun He felt that perhaps the Marquis was a cold and reserved person who was not good at expressing himself. If he did not really love his wife, why would he only marry her?

“Madam, the wind outside is strong. Let me help you to the inner room! The Marquis will definitely make those evil people who hurt the young master pay the price.”

“Yes, that’s right. That cripple Nangong Mo and that little vicious woman Lin Wanyue cannot escape! We must make them pay with their blood! A hundred times over!”

At this moment, Yun Ran was sneaking towards Nangong Mo’s courtyard in the dark.

Little thief, don’t you find it troublesome to climb over the wall and visit a handsome man’s bed in the middle of the night? Why don’t you just move over and sleep with him?

Get lost! You immoral bird under the moon! I’m going to do something serious, okay?

Tsk. The moon is dark and the wind is strong. What serious business can there be? Tell me.

Yun Ran snorted proudly and couldn’t be bothered with the so-called immortal bird whose mind was filled with crooked thoughts.

The hidden guards on night watch exchanged glances when they saw Yun Ran sneaking around.

As the first rule of the Shadow Guards, they had to stop unrelated people, suspicious people, uninvited guests, and women with ulterior motives, 100 feet away from His Highness’ bedroom!

This girl was sneaking around in the dark. It was obvious that…

However, their master had instructed them not to stop her…

As a result, the shadow guards tacitly floated several feet away, leaving them plenty of room.

With the ease of long practice, Yun Ran reached the window, leaped, and deftly vaulted inside.

Nangong Mo had already opened his eyes when she came to the window. Under the faint moonlight, he watched as the delicate figure entered the room through the window and went straight to his bed.

The man closed his eyes and even his breathing remained distant and long. He looked like he was saying, “Bring it on; I’m asleep.”

What was the petty woman up to this time?

She played the lecherous ghost last time. What would it be this time?

A fox demon? A flower spirit? Or…

Crackle crackle crackle crackle!

Suddenly, without warning, a burst of firecrackers exploded beside his bed. It was crackling happily!

Moreover, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, a cloud of smoke floated towards him and instantly surrounded him and his bed!

Moreover, the smoke made one want to sneeze after smelling it.

Nangong Mo was speechless.

That bloody… woman!
