Tough Princess : Once Upon A Brothel Chapter 22

“My Lord, so much money….” Madam w.a.n.g wanted to say something but was interrupted by Duke of Mu.

“Stop!” Duke of Mu waved his hand and slowly stood up. It seemed that he became ten years older after dinner.

After Duke of Mu left, s.h.i.+ Weiming immediately chased after Yang Zijin, leaving Mrs. Li and Mu Yunong stunned in the hall staring.

When s.h.i.+ Weiming got out, he only saw Shuo Ling carried Yang Zijin to a carriage. He turned a cold shoulder to Shuo Ling. He rushed and blocked in front of the carriage, saying, “Zijin, I have something to say with you.”

Hearing his words, Yang Zijin beat Shuo Ling's breast in hatred. She wanted to come out of the carriage but failed to escape from Shuo Ling. She glanced at Shuo Ling acidly, angrily saying with s.h.i.+ Weiming, “There is nothing need to talk between you and me.”

Listening to Yang Zijin's words, Shuo Ling smiled slightly. He kissed her cheek while she didn't guard against him. Then he found she was staring at him with cold eyes. It seemed like she wanted to kill him.

Shuo Ling was happy, “Go home!”

The servant who drove the horse ignored s.h.i.+ Weiming and drove the carriage away from him.

s.h.i.+ Weiming stared at the carriage. There was the laughter of Shuo Ling and Yang Zijin lingering in his ears. He pinched his hands hidden in the sleeve. Yang Zijin was his, and no one can take her away from him…

In the carriage, Yang Zijin kept struggling to get free from Shuo Ling. But he was so strong that she was taken to his mansion in his embrace.

Shuo Ling carried Yang Zijin into his room simply and straightforwardly, which conforms to his temperament.

But this guy took her straight to his room！

Yang Zijin scowled at Shuo Ling, “Are you sick?”

“Yes, you are the remedy.” Yang Zijin was angry after hearing his words. Shuo Ling thought she was adorable. He couldn't help but kissed her.

“I will bring you some food.” Seeing Yang Zijin was about to become angrier, Shuo Ling decided to soothe her at first.

After Shuo Ling left, Yang Zijin touched her mouth unpleasantly. She found there was n.o.body around, so she bent and stealthily walked out of the room.

As soon as Yang Zijin went out of the room, she was stopped. She raised her head, only to see an expressionless servant who stood upright in front of her.

She smiled awkwardly, “Well, I'm going for a walk.”

Then the man suddenly lifted his eyes, staring at her motionlessly. She swallowed and slowly walked back a few steps. She quickly ran to another direction while he was not looking.

But no matter how fast Yang Zijin was, she would be blocked by the man every time. She was in sweat but still couldn't leave the yard for a step. She could do nothing but give up.

Yang Zijin sat on the stool, powerlessly looking at the sky. She roughly looked around the yard just now and found out that there was no female servant at all. Moreover, all the servants and guards were like wooden men who had no expressions. They also had good commands of kung fu, for which she had no way to escape.

So many men here….

Should Shuo Ling have some eccentricities?

Qiao Shu walked out of the door and heard that—

Marquis Shuo Ling, the most valued person by His Majesty, took the Young Master of Spring Breeze out from the mansion of Duke Mu and even carried him to a carriage and got back to his mansion together!

Qiao Shu pinched her fingernails, which were almost cut off by herself. She knew that Yang Zijin was a woman. Shuo Ling has kept himself away from women for so many years, but yesterday he suddenly let her diagnose Yang Zijin. And now he even carried Yang Zijin into his carriage despite his reputation?

Why?

Qiao Shu was jealous. She tried hard to please Shuo Ling for many years, just hoping that he could look at her for just a moment, but now, a girl disguised as a man in a wh.o.r.ehouse attracted his attention!

But soon, Qiao Shu hid her ferocious expression. She carried her medicine box to the mansion of Marquis. As she has come many times and she was also Shuo Ling's private doctor, so she was not stopped.

That was to say that people in the mansion of Marquis still recognize her ident.i.ty.

But as soon as she entered the yard, she saw Shuo Ling and Yang Zijin were hugging each other.

Yang Zijin seemed to refuse, which, however, made Shuo Ling more fascinated by her behavior and her flushed face. It was what a girl in wh.o.r.ehouse would do!

Qiao Shu was so sad that she wanted to kill Yang Zijin. But she managed to hide these feelings before them. She walked toward them with a set smile.

Shuo Ling knew Qiao Shu was there already as he was alert for sound after studying kung fu. He just wanted to see how would Yang Zijin respond if she made a show of herself before others.

Qiao Shu had her black hair hanging on her shoulders with a purple jade pin on the top of her head. She wore a light blue thin smoke gauze. Her skin was like cream. She has beautiful eyes and red lips. She walked slowly to the front of them, gently and elegantly saluted Shuo Ling.

“My Lord, I heard that you came back. So I come over to see whether you have recovered.” Qiao Shu said in a gentle tone with her eyes full of worry.

Yang Zijin quickly moved her hands away from Shuo Ling and gave him a sharp look. She then mercilessly pinched his thigh, but Shuo Ling smiled as he saw what he wanted.

Yang Zijin could do nothing but give up.

Qiao Shu saw all of their interactions. She clenched her fists. The man she has loved since long ago was flirting with a humble girl who grew up in a wh.o.r.ehouse before her!

“I'm fine, but you just come in time. Come and see Yang's injury.” Shuo ling slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Zijin.

Qiao Shu was jealous of Yang Zijin. Shuo Ling's words created greater hatred inside her. There was a hint of murder in her eyes. She wanted to kill her.

“Okay.” Qiao Shu replied softly. There was no other expression on her face.

Yang Zijin felt incredibly embarra.s.sed.

Was Shuo Ling so silly in terms of emotional intelligence? Qiao Shu came for him, but he ordered Qiao Shu to see her! This could create an enemy for her?

Shuo Ling would be annoyed if he knew what Yang Zijin was thinking about at the moment. He was really wronged. He didn't know whether she has recovered from the hurt by him before. Moreover, she was hurt again in the mansion of Duke Mu today. He worried about her a lot.

Qiao Shu felt Yang Zijin's pulse and then took out something like a modern stethoscope from the medicine box. She carefully checked for Yang Zijin in a graceful and elegant manner.

“My Lord, he is not very good, even worse than before. His five internal organs are hurt. He needs to recuperate for a long time. If he doesn't pay attention to it, he will suffer in the future.” Qiao Shu said seriously.

“No, no, I have a lot of work to do. It is not the time for recuperation.” Yang Zijin suddenly stood up after hearing what she said.

“Mo Li, take Qiao Shu to the side hall for a rest.”

Mo Li was Shuo Ling's bodyguard.

Shuo Ling said in a pressing voice after hearing that Yang Zijin might suffer in the future, and she refused to treat disease. Even he himself didn't know why he would be so tense. Has he already had a crush on her?

Qiao Shu saluted slightly and walked away with Mo Li.

But she could no longer control her feelings. She looked worse and worse. Never had Shuo Ling been so concerned about a girl. He fell in love with Yang Zijin. Qiao Shu grieved over Shuo Ling's concern about Yang Zijin. Why was the one Shuo Ling concerned about was not she? Was she inferior to a girl who grew up in a wh.o.r.ehouse? Why? Why? She has a stronger desire to kill Yang Zijin.

“Miss Qiao, Miss Qiao… are you all right?” Asked Mo Li. He found Qiao Shu looked abnormal.

“Ah… well, I'm all right. Maybe it's because I didn't have a good rest last night. I'll just sit down and take a rest.” Qiao Shu said.

“Well, then, Miss Qiao, you can take a rest here. If you have something to be done, just order the servants outside.” Then he left.

Shuo Ling's room.

“Now you must stay in here for recuperation, and put other things down.” Shuo ling said in a tone of command.

He would take care of the girl he loved for all his life and didn't want her to suffer in the future.

“I can't leave them alone. They have the risk of being dying because of me. I can't hide here alone.” Yang Zijin bit her lips.

“Well, if you don't care about them, go now. People of the mansion of Duke Mu are waiting for you outside.” Shuo Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Yang Zijin.

“What shall I do? I promised them I would find them as soon as possible. They can't stay there all the time. People of the mansion of Duke Mu will find them sooner or later.” Yang Zijin smiled bitterly.

Shuo Ling also felt sad when he looked at Yang Zijin's bitter smile. He didn't know why. Meanwhile, looking at her weakness, he was more fascinated by her.

He couldn't help but held her to the bed and kissed her.

“Sweetie, you can count on me. Stay here for recuperation. I will let you go as soon as you recovered.” Shuo Ling gazed at her fondly.

Yang Zijin became accustomed to his intimate behavior. She gave up struggling, anyway, every time she failed to escape from him. It was fine to stay here. As a girl came from the modern world, she knew the importance of health to a person. Staying here was good for her recuperation and could also keep herself away from risks.

Shuo Ling was still sucking her lips greedily, with his hands groping on her body.

Yang Zijin gave him a cold look and pushed away from him, sighed, “I will do as Your Lords.h.i.+p said.”

“What?” Shuo Ling stared at her with a bleak look.

“Shuo Ling, Shuo Ling, Shuo Ling. Are you satisfied?” Yang Zijin felt uneasy by his look.

“In this case, I will do as you wish.” Yang Zijin thought.

Shuo Ling became happy at once and kissed her swollen lips again.

At the same time, in the side hall of the mansion of Marquis, Qiao Shu looked grieved.

She planned for a long time to get Shuo Ling's recognition, but now, compared with Yang Zijin, she was even not as important as a maid! How it became so? What was the problem? Or it was because that Yang Zijin was so smart that she could catch Shuo Ling's attention.

In that case, she would kill the one who was getting in her way.

While she was thinking, Mo Li came and stood in front of her.

“Miss Qiao, His Lords.h.i.+p is waiting for you.”

“Ah… well, I know. I will tidy up and go.” She hid her panic and quietly followed Mo Li.

Study room in the mansion of Marquis.

Shuo Ling wore a dark blue robe embroidered with very detailed auspicious cloud diagrams on the skirt and cuffs. There was hanging a green jade bamboo pendant on his hollow-out waistband with gold silk.
