Tough Princess : Once Upon A Brothel Chapter 17

Chapter 17 There Will Be Wrinkles If You Pretend Too Much

The butler, who had been standing by, was shocked by these words. He hurriedly waved his hands to disperse the people. He also personally ordered people to stare at all the gates and even not let any fly pa.s.s.

He had been serving the Duke of Mu all his life. As long as Duke of Mu coughed, he would know what he meant.

Listening to the meaning of the Duke of Mu, Yang Zijin's ident.i.ty might be very unusual!

However, Yang Zijin only felt sarcastic and sneered, “Let's forget it. The mansion of Duke Mu is too precious. I don't like it. Keep it for your retirement.”

“Ingrate!” The Duke of Mu couldn't contain his anger, “Guard! Take this evil creature away. Don't have to wait until tomorrow and send her there tonight!”

“How dare you?” Yang Zijin stared at the Duke of Mu with anger. She directly opened the folding fan in her hand and then forced one guard back. She grabbed another bodyguard and jumped behind Mu Yunong by using his force, grabbing her by the neck.

Mu Yunong was scared to turn pale and shouted, “Dad, help me! Help me!”

“Shut up!” Yang Zijin pinched a little harder, making Mu Yunong's face cyanotic.

“What do you want to do?” The Duke of Mu was anxious. He was also a man of martial arts. It was only that he was old, and his body was getting worse day by day, making Yang Zijin seize the opportunity to grab Mu Yunong.

“My Duke, it should be me to ask you, what do you want to do?”

The Duke of Mu shouted loudly, “Let go of Yunong! She is just a delicate lady. How can she bear your strength?”

Yang Zijin's eyes became colder and colder. Previously, she had no expectation of her father, but she was not desperate.

Now… oh!

“If you treat me politely, I will treat your daughter politely.” Yang Zijin was firm and fearless, “Please immediately order the people around Spring Breeze to be withdrawn so that I will return your daughter. Otherwise, I can grab her the second time.”

“You…” The Duke of Mu suddenly smiled, “You have the courage and uprightness of the Mu family.”

Yang Zijin was stunned. Did the Duke of Mu praise her at this moment?

Incorrect!

She suddenly retreated to the side, but the dangerous palm kept approaching. She had no way but to let go of Mu Yunong.

But that palm was still accurately slapped on Yang Zijin's shoulder!

Yang Zijin took a few steps back to stand still with difficulty and sneered, “You are indeed birds of a feather, s.h.i.+ Weiming.”

s.h.i.+ Weiming frowned and helped Mu Yunong to stand still, watching Yang Zijin helplessly, “Zijin, I know you are angry, but the Duke of Mu is…Even if you don't think about your relations.h.i.+p, you should also know your own ident.i.ty clearly. How can an ordinary person be so rude to the Duke of Mu?”

“If Your Highness hates it, you can put me in jail. Anyway, you hold human life to be cheap!” Yang Zijin raised her chin, still disdainful.

But she secretly scolded in her heart. d.a.m.n Shuo Ling, he even dropped the ball at the last minute. If he still didn't come, she was going to die!

“Sure enough, she could not rely on others but herself! She should not expect him to save her. If she ran early in the day, maybe there was more hope for victory.” Thought she.

However, Shuo Ling was already staring secretly.

But it was about Yang Zijin's ident.i.ty and s.h.i.+ Weiming was involved in it, which was really complicated. Deeply being trusted by the Emperor, his ident.i.ty was sensitive. If he didn't have a proper reason, it was really inconvenient for him to appear prematurely.

Moreover, s.h.i.+ Weiming's strength of palm was also reserved. He also wanted to use Yang Zijin, so he would never really hurt her.

Shuo Ling frowned again and left.

Mrs. Li was late in coming when they were in a stalemate.

“My Duke, Yunong!” Mrs. Li hugged Mu Yunong and looked up and down, then walked in front of s.h.i.+ Weiming and bowed with a smile, “Thank you for your help, my highness. Otherwise, I, I…”

s.h.i.+ Weiming raised his palm slightly and said with a smile, “Please get up quickly. I came too late. I know Zijin's temperament clearly. If I came here earlier to persuade her, there wouldn't have such an accident.”

The Duke of Mu's face looked a little better. He simply greeted s.h.i.+ Weiming, then he swung his sleeves and walked towards the main hall.

Mu Yunong still stood there and looked at s.h.i.+ Weiming eagerly, unwilling to leave. The d.u.c.h.ess quickly pulled her away and said with a smile, “Don't be restrained here, Zijin. Just regard this as your home, huh?”

“There will be wrinkles if you pretend too much.” Yang Zijin chuckled.

Mrs. Li was angry, but she didn't want to lower her ident.i.ty to argue with Yang Zijin. She just pretended to hear nothing and dragged Mu Yunong away.

“Zijin!” s.h.i.+ Weiming took Yang Zijin's arm and said, “What are you still doing?”

Yang Zijin threw off him with a poker face, and said coldly, “Please be self-respecting, my highness.”

s.h.i.+ Weiming was stunned for a moment. Thinking that Zijin was too stubborn and didn't understand the rules and even gave a cold face to him again and again, maybe he should not show partiality for her later. So, she would take a lesson and not be so arbitrary in the future.

Moreover, only when he helped her at the right time, Zijin could remember his goodness.

“Go in.” s.h.i.+ Weiming's face was a little colder.

Yang Zijin couldn't help rolling her eyes. Did he show deepness to her?

However, everything had happened. Of course, she couldn't give up halfway.
