Chapter 850: Chapter 850: A Midnight Visit
The awkward smile on Prince Jing’s face vanished instantly, replaced by an angry glare, "Qin Jiu..."
But Ye Jiu was not afraid at all and instead gently stroked her belly with her hand, "Perhaps, at this moment, your grandson is already in my belly!"
Thud!
It was the sound of Prince Jing losing his balance and falling onto the ground.
Ye Jiu stared in shock, quickly bending down to help him up, "Father, you’re a grown man, surely not?"
He even fell on his backside, was it that shocking?
After Prince Jing sat back up, he pulled his arm away from Ye Jiu’s hand, "Xiaojiu, this is not something to joke about. Tell me the truth, you..."
"I am telling the truth!" Ye Jiu didn’t hesitate.
She knew that neither the old Emperor nor Prince Jing would ever agree to her marrying Sikong Mo.
But he had already used the Tiger Talisman passed down through generations of the War Prince Residence for her, giving up his power. Could she really just do nothing and watch her grandfather and father make things difficult for him?
However, such a clumsy lie, and yet Prince Jing still believed it. It’s hard to tell whether she, the liar, was too stupid or if he, the one being deceived, was even more foolish.
Sikong Mo had only just returned. Even if something could sprout instantly, they still needed time to sow the seeds!
Prince Jing usually seemed quite shrewd, so why had he suddenly become this foolish?
Ye Jiu didn’t know that Prince Jing’s mind couldn’t think at all right now. All he could hear was Ye Jiu’s words, suggesting that possibly his grandson was already in her belly!
Even when getting off the carriage, Prince Jing felt his steps faltering and weak.
Several times, Ye Jiu wanted to go and help him, but he waved her off.
Seeing Prince Jing like this, Ye Jiu felt very guilty inside.
She knew well how good he was to her, but perhaps his kindness came too late, so to Ye Jiu, he couldn’t compare to the He family, old Ye Han, nor could he compare to Sikong Mo.
After Prince Jing left, Ye Jiu stood on the spot, motionless for a long time, but her mind was in turmoil.
Then, looking at the silent night, Ye Jiu sighed before turning back to her courtyard.
After returning, Ye Jiu took a bath with the help of a maid, and after coming out, Ying Chun came to ask, "Commandery Princess, how should we deal with the young lady who returned with you earlier?"
Ye Jiu yawned, "Lock her in the firewood room first, we’ll deal with her tomorrow."
Ying Chun was taken aback, surprised by Ye Jiu’s arrangement.
But in an instant, Ying Chun came back to her senses, "Yes."
Originally, she thought that young lady was a guest brought back by their Commandery Princess. But now, it seemed that she had to reassess that young lady’s status.
Ye Jiu was a person who bore grudges; she hadn’t forgotten that woman had initially tried to seduce Sikong Mo.
Her man, could anyone attempt to seduce him?
However, such a beautiful woman, meticulously trained too, if she really lost her life for failing in her seduction, wouldn’t that be a shame?
Keeping her, who knows, there might be a big use for her in the future!
But for now, the world was vast, yet nothing was more important than sleep, so whatever it is, it could all be left for tomorrow.
On the other hand, Prince Jing lay tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.
He got up and went outside, only to find a figure disappearing quickly not far away.
Prince Jing’s eyes flashed, and using Qinggong, he chased after.
In the dead of night, someone dared to trespass into Prince Jing’s Residence, clearly seeking death!
In the dark, Prince Jing saw Sikong Mo, whom he had already intercepted, his anger amusingly turning into laughter, "In the deep of night, War King appearing at my Prince Jing’s Residence, isn’t that rather inappropriate?"
