Chapter 259: Yinzhen flees
Chapter 259: Yinzhen flees
Yinzhen said to Ziyun in a gentle voice: "This has nothing to do with you, don't be afraid."
Ziyun smiled and nodded.
"I was just joking with you."
She rolled her eyes and pointed at a sandalwood bracelet on Yinzhen's hand.
"Will you give me this bracelet as a reward?"
Yinzhen handed the bracelet to Su Peisheng who was standing beside him, "Su Peisheng, take a look."
Su Peisheng gave the bracelet to Ziyun, and only then did Ziyun realize how grand Yinzhen was.
However, she is also a veteran in the world of romance. To be able to become a top prostitute, she must have some means, especially a top prostitute like her who sells her art but not her body.
The grievance and fear she had just felt were not real. At this moment, she also keenly sensed the unusual identity of the person in front of her.
Ziyun retreated obediently without any complaints, but she did not take away the veil either.
Ma Jue stood aside, speechless.
He had originally been thinking of arranging for Ziyun to have a couple of drinks with Yinzhen.
Yinzhen himself rejected Ziyun.
Yinzhen actually refused such a beautiful woman.
Ma Jue smiled and changed the topic, which did not make the conversation dull.
A group of people acted as if nothing had happened.
The atmosphere gradually became lively again.
-----------------
Yinzhen went out for a social event tonight, while Yixiu stayed at home.
It had been less than half a year since Fei Yanggu's death. Although she was a married woman, she still had to observe the formal mourning period.
Yixiu estimated that it would be very late when Yinzhen came back, so she planned to rest first. Unexpectedly, after a while, Jianqiu came over and said that someone wanted to see her.
Seeing Jianqiu's strange expression, Yixiu asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem with the identity of the person who came?"
Jianqiu said quickly and in a low voice: "It's a girl, her name is Miss Ziyun."
Miss Ziyun?
When Yixiu heard this name, although it was only one character different from Luyun, if a strange lady came to visit, she would definitely give her surname instead of just her first name.
This Miss Ziyun is most likely a prostitute in Yangzhou City.
Why would a prostitute come to her? Naturally, it was because Yinzhen owed her a debt of love outside.
"Ask her to come in."
Jianqiu couldn't help but say, "Fujin, I don't think that girl is from a respectable family, and she came to see you on purpose..."
"Call her in and see what her purpose is."
Jianqiu did not dare to disobey Yixiu's order and wanted such a woman to come in. However, when she arrived at the gatehouse, she was told that the woman had already left, leaving only a bracelet without saying anything.
Jianqiu served Yixiu and Yinzhen every day, so she naturally recognized that the bracelet was Yinzhen's personal item.
Why was that thing in the hands of a prostitute?
Jianqiu thought of a lot of things in an instant and felt indignant.
Fu Jin has gone through so much hardship with the Fourth Master, yet in the end why is it that the Fourth Master still looks for those improper women outside?
She really felt sorry for Fu Jin.
Jianqiu took the bracelet and went to save Yixiu's life.
Yixiu looked at the bracelet and fell into deep thought.
Jianqiu said: "The Fourth Master gave this thing to Miss Ziyun. Does that mean that the Fourth Master and Miss Ziyun..."
Yixiu placed the bracelet on the table.
"The Fourth Master has so many bracelets, so one is not a big deal. But I think some people are already getting restless after the Fourth Master came to Yangzhou City."
How can a prostitute offer herself to be the bedfellow of a prince?
There must be someone behind this.
But is this person someone from Yangzhou who wants to please Yinzhen? Or is he Rouze?
-----------------
Yinzhen came back drunk in the middle of the night.
The person who sent him back was Yinzhen.
Yinzhen didn't drink much wine, and he was able to remain sober for a rare time.
Yixiu asked him to come in, and then ordered the servants to prepare a bowl of sobering soup for him.
Yinzhen's eyes fell on the bracelet on the table.
"Fourth sister-in-law, how come this bracelet is here with you?"
"It was sent by Miss Ziyun."
Yinzhen opened his mouth, "Why is Miss Ziyun here?"
Xiu Xia couldn't help but say, "Of course I want to enter the house."
"Her thoughts are almost written on her face."
"You want to enter the Fourth Master's backyard, but you don't try to please our wife, and you actually come here to provoke us."
Yinzhen said, "What backyard? How can someone of this status get close to Fourth Brother?"
"If it was a woman who had fallen into prostitution but still had integrity, she would be worthy of respect and sympathy, but Ziyun is obviously not one of them. She was arranged by the salt merchant surnamed Ma who wanted to please Fourth Brother. At the banquet today, she even wanted Fourth Brother to redeem her."
In just a few words, Yinzhen explained the relationship between Miss Ziyun and Yinzhen.
Xiu Xia spat, "This Ziyun——"
"Xiu Xia." Yi Xiu said calmly, "It's just a bracelet. Why did you lose your composure first? You are making assumptions here and you shouldn't talk about other people's affairs behind their backs."
"Let the Fourth Master solve his own problems."
When Yinzhen saw that Yixiu trusted Yinzhen so much, he felt jealous.
Does Fourth Sister-in-law really love Fourth Brother and not care about these things?
No, it's not like that.
All men in this world seek harmony between their wives and concubines, but he knows that if Fourth Sister-in-law really loves Fourth Brother, there will be no room for other women in her eyes.
Thinking of this, Yinzhen felt much more comfortable.
He didn't know where these changes in his mood came from, they were so subtle.
He was a little panicked.
Could it be that he actually likes his fourth brother?
So he didn't want to see his fourth sister-in-law and him living in harmony.
Yixiu noticed Yinzhen's changeable expression.
She guessed that he might have drunk too much and was feeling unwell.
"Xiu Xia, go get some more of the sobering soup."
She asked Yinzhen with concern, "Fourteenth brother, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to ask Doctor Wen to come and see you?"
Yinzhen felt very guilty at this time, and avoided looking at Yixiu, "Fourth sister-in-law, no need, I am not feeling unwell, thank you for your concern."
Yixiu thought Yinzhen's expression was a little strange, but she didn't think much about it.
Maybe because he was still young, he felt a little uncomfortable when the topic of famous prostitutes was mentioned.
Yinzhen stood up with a conflicted look on his face. "Fourth sister-in-law, it's getting late now. I'll go back first."
"Drink the hangover soup before you leave. This way, you won't have to give orders to the servants to wait for you after you return to your place."
Yinzhen had no choice but to sit down again.
Sitting there doing nothing is not a good idea, so Yinzhen started to find a topic again, "Fourth sister-in-law, you don't have to worry too much about this matter. Fourth brother is not that kind of person."
Yixiu nodded, but she was thinking, who cares what kind of person he is.
Anyway, she no longer had any hope for Yinzhen other than for him to ascend the throne.
"If Miss Ziyun is of a decent family, I can decide to add a beautiful concubine for him. But even if he wants Miss Ziyun, if she is a noble person, she can enter the palace. It's just that it will be difficult to explain to the Emperor."
Everyone says that Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law are a perfect match and their relationship couldn't be better.
But Yinzhen once again clearly realized that his fourth sister-in-law did not love his fourth brother.
A trace of panic surged in Yinzhen's heart.
Why would he feel happy because his fourth sister-in-law didn't love his fourth brother?
How could he like his fourth brother? This was against human ethics.
Yixiu had no idea that Yinzhen had completely misconceived these things in his mind.
The thoughts in his mind developed in a strange direction.
After drinking the sobering soup, Yinzhen fled in panic.
Yixiu looked at his hurriedly leaving back and smiled slightly.
