Chapter 61: Two Crown Princes?!

~8 min read 1,576 words

As soon as Yan Ning shouted, these people all threw the rotten vegetable leaves and stinking eggs in their hands at him.

Stinking eggs smeared all over Wan Hongzhe's face.

Wan Hongzhe looked at Yan Ning, who was dressed in fine clothes, looking fair and spirited; how did she look like someone who had been exiled?

Wan Hongzhe was practically going to be angered to death!

He shouted at Yan Ning: "Don't you go too far!"

Taking advantage of the moment he was speaking, Yan Ning threw a stinking egg directly into his mouth; Wan Hongzhe felt a wave of nausea and almost vomited.

The lead bailiff said to Yan Ning: "Miss, you all... this is indeed a bit excessive."

Yan Ning smiled and took out two Glazed Hairpins, stuffing one into each of their hands.

She said with a smile: "These hairpins are just right to give to the women in your families."

The two bailiffs accepted Yan Ning's hairpins, looked at each other, both dismounted, and tore off several rotten vegetable leaves to throw at Wan Hongzhe.

Wan Hongzhe:...

It was just fucking infuriating.

Yan Ning had thrown enough, and scolded him: "You ungrateful white-eyed wolf, we kindly provided information, yet you actually wanted to kill us!"

"If it weren't for the fact that time was tight today and I didn't have time to prepare, I would have killed you!"

Wan Hongzhe sneered, "Who knows what intentions you had when you gave the information? You wanted us to fight like the snipe and the clam so the fisherman could reap the benefit, right?"

Yan Ning couldn't hold back her anger and went up to kick him twice, "If your grandson had any ambition, it wouldn't have involved my father at all. You useless piece of trash who can't be propped up, just because he's incompetent, he has to come and kill my father?"

It was also because she didn't have a handy weapon on hand, otherwise Yan Ning would have definitely given him a few stabs.

Qian Ruofang, who was to the side, silently handed her a Small Porcelain Bottle and whispered: "I'll apply the Antidote for you first; in a moment, you can use this stuff to throw at him with a slingshot, I guarantee he'll wish he were dead for the next two days."

Yan Ning didn't show any mercy at all and used the Itch Powder on Wan Hongzhe's skin.

The others weren't treated any differently; Yan Ning used it on the few men in front, as it was clear they were accomplices.

Suddenly, the few men were wriggling on the ground as if they were possessed.

The bailiff who brought them here was a bit worried: "What's wrong with them? Should we find a doctor to take a look?"

Yan Ning said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's no problem, they'll just be itchy for a day or two, it's not a big issue."

Only then did the bailiff set his mind at ease.

The woman beside Wan Hongzhe, presumably his wife, said with dissatisfaction: "Leave a way out for others, how dare you torture him like this!"

Yan Ning scoffed, "You all stopped acting like humans, yet you have the nerve to talk about us?"

The woman was furious: "You!"

Yan Ning wore a fake smile: "You didn't leave a way out for us back then; if we hadn't had guards, we would have likely already become ghosts under your blades."

The people of the Wan family all stopped talking; this trip was truly unlucky.

The bailiffs took Wan Hongzhe to the Cai Shi Chang; there were many people in Wan Hongzhe's nine generations, but after losing a group on the road, there were nearly a hundred left by the time they reached Lingnan.

Yan Ning tipped Steward Chen right in front of them: "For the few people wriggling on the ground, arrange the heaviest and most troublesome work for them, such as scrubbing toilets."

Wan Hongzhe's grandson, Wan Haochu, pointed at Yan Ning's nose and cursed: "We are all exiles, what right do you have to come and go as you please?"

Yan Ning: "I have money."

As soon as these words were out, everyone in the Wan family glared at Wan Haochu.

Why ask her that? Wasn't this just asking for humiliation?

When the Wan family was exiled, their home was raided, and the whole family didn't have much silver; it was only because Wan Hongzhe had kept one Silver Note for one hundred taels.

Most of this money was used to bribe the two bailiffs.

The rest was used up for purchases on the road to exile.

They simply didn't have any extra silver to bribe the officials at the Cai Shi Chang.

Wan Haochu spoke wildly: "When my cousin ascends the throne and brings us back to the Capital, the first thing I'll do is kill you!"

Yan Ning scoffed, "Just because of him?"

Wan Haochu wanted to say something else, but was stopped by someone.

"Stop asking for humiliation, we were implicated by you without having done anything, don't provoke her again and make us all suffer!"

"Heh, don't you know what kind of thing your cousin is?"

"He's already been locked in the Tianlao, and you still want to rely on him to save us? Are you dreaming?"

Yan Ning watched them have an internal conflict, watching with great interest from the side.

These people were also unlucky.

Wan Hongzhe climbed up from the ground; he was itching all over now and said through gritted teeth: "If you don't go move stones, I will definitely write a letter and send it to the Capital!"

Yan Ning was amused: "There are no brush, ink, paper, or inkstone, where are you going to write a letter?"

Wan Hongzhe stiffened his neck and just wouldn't speak.

Yan Ning continued to mess with his mentality: "Oh, I forgot to say, my father is living perfectly well right now, isn't that a surprise, isn't that unexpected?"

"My father might be returning to the Capital soon; do you regret it? If you hadn't killed my father, you could still be living freely."

"It's a pity, my father didn't die, and he even got you all exiled to Lingnan, aren't you angry?"

Wan Hongzhe was furious, "He didn't die?!"

The next moment, his anger surged to his heart, and he actually spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yan Ning said with a smile: "Is your defense broken already? If your defense is broken this easily, I'm afraid you'll be spitting blood every few days from now on. Sister Ruofang, how long do you think he can live like this?"

Qian Ruofang whispered: "This person's complexion is ashen and he gets angry easily; he might be gone in two or three years."

Yan Ning was satisfied.

At this time, Steward Chen came over and whispered: "I know how to take care of those few people, Miss, please rest assured."

Subsequently, Steward Chen revealed a somewhat lewd smile, "Miss, do you think I should find a few brothers to do something to them..."

Yan Ning's expression changed, "What did you say you were going to do? Find people to ravage the women of the Wan family?"

Steward Chen was stunned; wasn't it always like this?

Yan Ning immediately said, "You are not allowed to bully the women; just focus on taking care of those men leading the Wan family."

Steward Chen had tried to flatter her but ended up offending her; seeing Yan Ning's serious expression, he hurriedly said, "It was my mistake for thinking wrongly for a moment; I will absolutely never bully the women in the future, I swear to the heavens!"

Yan Ning's expression softened, and she handed two pouches to Steward Chen, "One is for you, and one is for Lord Zhu."

Lord Zhu was Steward Chen's superior.

The women of the Wan family looked at Yan Ning, their eyes full of gratitude.

Exiled women would certainly be bullied by the government runners, it was only a matter of time, yet the words Yan Ning had just spoken directly made Steward Chen and the others afraid to act recklessly.

Seeing his own family members turning against him, Wan Hongzhe said with dissatisfaction, "This damn girl is intentionally humiliating me, and you are actually feeling grateful to her?"

A woman wearing prison clothes said, "If it weren't for your stupidity, how would we have been implicated?"

"When our branch worked wholeheartedly and lived comfortably, you never mentioned promoting us, but now that it's time for the house to be raided and for us to be exiled, you suddenly remember that we are members of the Wan Family?"

While scratching his itch, Wan Hongzhe said through gritted teeth, "You... you all..."

The Wan family was always infighting, and Yan Ning watched it happily.

It was not too late now, as Steward Chen drove them to work.

Even though Wan Hongzhe was itching all over, he still had to work, otherwise, a whip would come down.

Wan Hongzhe looked at the person in front, and it was actually the First Prince!

He never would have imagined that while Yan Ning was being arrogant and domineering toward Steward Chen, Yan Ze was still at the Cai Shi Chang hauling stones.

At this moment, Yan Ze came over to take Yan Ning home.

Wan Hongzhe was shocked, "You, you... two First Princes?"
