Chapter 916: Chapter 916: Do Not Offend Lightly
Slightly hesitant, seeing that Liu Yunqing had no intention of leaving, Ye Jiu was afraid that Sikong Mo might suffer difficulties from Prince Jing.
So, the person appeared somewhat uneasy.
After a while, Ye Jiu noticed that Princess Consort Jing clearly intended to keep Liu Yunqing for a meal, and finally, she couldn’t sit still and reminded, “Mother, the War King is here, with Father in the study.”
Ye Jiu’s reminder made Princess Consort Jing remember that she had forgotten about the War King’s visit today.
Moreover, Princess Consort Jing also wanted to see what kind of person could hold a place in Ye Jiu’s heart.
Liu Yunqing was a shrewd person, and seeing Ye Jiu and Princess Consort Jing behaving in such a manner, how could he not guess that they had their affairs? So, before anyone else spoke, he took the initiative to stand up, “Aunt, since the War King is visiting, I’ll take my leave now and visit you another day.”
Princess Consort Jing felt a bit embarrassed, and since Liu Yunqing was her maternal family’s nephew, he wasn’t an outsider, so she said: “Yunqing isn’t an outsider, and the War King and Prince have a good relationship, so he surely wouldn’t mind. Why don’t you stay and join them for lunch?”
With that, Princess Consort Jing didn’t forget to greet Mrs. He, “Old sister, don’t be too formal, just consider this your home. I’ll have the kitchen add a few more dishes later. You can stay and have lunch with Jiujiu at my place.”
“Will this be too much trouble?” Mrs. He was still hesitant.
Though she had been in the capital city for a few years, she didn’t quite understand these Princes and such, but she heard that the Royal Residence had visitors with quite a significant reputation.
So, if she stayed any longer, she would be afraid of interrupting them.
To be honest, if it weren’t for Ye Jiu being here, she wouldn’t have wanted to come to Prince Jing’s Residence.
This place was really different from their countryside, and it made her feel quite uncomfortable staying here.
Fortunately, Princess Consort Jing was somewhat different from what she had imagined and was quite gentle, which allowed her to stay for so long.
“There’s no interruption, no interruption…” Princess Consort Jing warmly invited Mrs. He, “The Prince is entertaining guests up front. If you don’t mind, old sister, come along with me and make a greeting.”
Mrs. He, although she didn’t understand why Princess Consort Jing wanted her to greet the guests along with her, felt like she was being pushed into it, and after being pulled up by Princess Consort Jing, she couldn’t just sit back down again.
Princess Consort Jing and Mrs. He walked ahead, and Princess Consort Jing whispered in Mrs. He’s ear, “This War King, Jiujiu seems to have some interest in him. Old sister, with your sharp eyes, help us take a look.”
Upon hearing it was to check someone for Ye Jiu, Mrs. He got excited immediately.
There were less than two months before the child turned sixteen. At this age, even if someone in the countryside wasn’t engaged, they wouldn’t be seen again, but Ye Jiu’s marriage had not yet been arranged, and she couldn’t intervene, and her heart was extremely anxious.
Now, although she was reluctant to marry off her daughter, she still hoped that Ye Jiu could marry into a good family.
Later, Ye Jiu said to Liu Yunqing, “Find some time tomorrow to take over the Wanlai Gambling House.”
Regarding Ye Jiu winning the Wanlai Gambling House, Liu Yunqing had already received the news, so hearing Ye Jiu mention it at this moment, he wasn’t surprised at all, just a bit worried, “The Wanlai Gambling House is a property under the Crown Prince’s name. If we take over like this, will we offend the Crown Prince?”
After all, the Crown Prince is the future ruler of the country, and now the old Emperor is already aged. If he isn’t careful, he might pass away, so in Liu Yunqing’s mind, it’s best not to easily offend the Crown Prince.
