Chapter 319: Wait For The Punishment
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lin Zhuyu was in so much anguish that she felt she was going to die. If she hadn’t been soaking in the water all this time, she would definitely have gone crazy.
She was extremely glad that she had run away fast enough at that time. Otherwise, she would have been ravaged by His Highness!
Lin Zhuyu heard Su Ying’s voice through her groggy stupor and opened her eyes with difficulty.
After seeing Su Ying’s appearance clearly, she sobbed and wanted to cry. “Your Highness, save me!”
Su Ying gave a slap on Lin Zhuyu’s forehead and sobered her up a little.
” Your Highness, Your Highness! Sob, sob, sob…”
“Shut up. How dare you scheme against me. Are you tired of living, Lin Zhuyu?”
“Sob, sob, sob! I wouldn’t dare anymore, Your Highness. It was Aunt Zhao who asked me to do this. Aunt Zhao said that if 1 don’t do it, she will make me serve His Highness in the future!”
Very good. She was still trying to shirk responsibility!
“Lin Zhuyu, what if I summon Jiang Yang to come here now? What do you think?”
“Good, good… No! Not good… Why would Your Highness want to summon him here?”
Su Ying glared at her. “Don’t think 1 don’t know that you’ve been flirting with that kid for a long time.”
Lin Zhuyu looked like she wanted to cry. She proclaimed fervently that she was absolutely loyal to Su Ying!
Su Ying gave a scornful sneer. “Wait for your punishment!”
Su Ying turned around and walked out of the room after uttering her threat.
After the door to the bathroom was closed, Lin Zhuyu did not even have time to exhale before the door was pushed open again.
Lin Zhuyu turned around and saw that it was really Jiang Yang!
Lin Zhuyu really wanted to cry. Her Highness was really hell-bent on making her ruin that kid’s chastity!
“What are you doing here? Get out!”
Jiang Yang looked at Lin Zhuyu’s flushed face and felt his heart beating faster.
“Her Highness said that you were not feeling well and asked me to come over and help.”
“No need. You… you get out first. Hurry up!”
Jiang Yang rubbed his nose but did not leave. Instead, he stepped forward and said, “It’s not good for your body to soak in this cold water for too long. Come out first. 1 won’t do anything.”
Lin Zhuyu looked at him. Her eyes gradually became passionate, but she still said, “Are you sure you won’t do anything?”
Jiang Yang’s expression was very solemn, and he looked like a gentleman.
Lin Zhuyu consented.
Jiang Yang stepped forward and carried her out of the water. The moment he carried her up, the hot sensation that had been slightly suppressed instantly surged in her body.
Lin Zhuyu became reluctant to let go.
“You… get out.”
Jiang Yang wanted to go out, but she wouldn’t let go!
“Jiang Yang.”
Jiang Yang stared at her blankly, his eyes a little dazed. “Hmm?”
“I will take responsibility for you!” Lin Zhuyu let out a roar and clamped her lips on him.
Su Ying listened to the commotion from outside the door and the corners of her lips curled up. She should not be the only one with sore legs!
As the night deepened, Xiao Jin carried the two children who were sleeping soundly on the bed to the room next door.
Su Ying looked at him disapprovingly.
Xiao Jin gave a very valid reason. “They are no longer two or three-year-old kids anymore. They have to learn to be independent sooner or later.”
Very good. His argument was really irrefutable.
He usurped the place that originally belonged to the two children and lay down.
“We’ve been back for so long, but Xiao Jue hasn’t done anything?” Su Ying rarely asked about this matter. She felt that since Xiao Jue and the Empress were the masterminds behind the plot to harm Xiao Jin, he should take revenge personally.
Xiao Jin closed his eyes and rubbed Su Ying’s fingertips from time to time. “He has. Give him some time. Otherwise, I’m afraid he won’t be able to succeed.”
“You already know what he wants to do now?”
“I didn’t know before, but I do now.”
In fact, it was very easy to take Xiao Jue’s life, but it would take some time to uproot totally the force supporting him, the force that came from his mother’s faction.
“What are your plans after you take revenge?”
Su Ying had never asked Xiao Jin about this before because Xiao Jin was not part of her long-term plan in the past.
Now that the two of them had confirmed their feelings for each other, Su Ying felt that it was better to clarify some things.
“If you want to return to the Sky Alpha City, we’ll go back together. If you want to stay here, we’ll stay.” Xiao Jin gradually held her hand in his palm.
Su Ying felt the warmth of his palm and rolled over into his embrace and closed her eyes. “Let’s wait until you get your revenge. Then we’ll decide on the next step.”
“Alright.”
The next morning, Wang Su came to the door to pass on a message, saying that something had happened at the Imperial Guards’ office and they wanted Xiao Jin to go over and take a look.
After Xiao Jin left, Su Ying also got up.
Aunt Zhao had been sent to the outer courtyard. Lin Zhuyu was still holed up somewhere with sore legs. Bai Shuang was the only one taking care of her courtyard.
Su Ying got up and put on her clothes before opening the door.
As soon as the door was opened, Lin Zhuyu, who had been waiting outside the door, knelt down in front of Su Ying.
“Your Highness, please forgive me. 1 know my mistake. Please let me off this time.”
Su Ying looked at the mottled marks on Lin Zhuyu’s neck and her anger dissipated.
“Lin Zhuyu.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
“Did you really sleep with Jiang Yang?”
Lin Zhuyu raised her head in shame and steeled her heart. “Your Highness, I couldn’t hold it in the heat of the moment…”
“I will ask Zhang Shuming to pick an auspicious date for you two?”
Lin Zhuyu was stunned. “So… so fast?”
“Are you not willing?”
“Not exactly. It’s just that it’s a little sudden…”
Su Ying immediately decided. “Then it’s settled.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
Bai Shuang pursed her lips in disdain. Lin Zhuyu’s mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear. Could she not be so shameless?
However, Lin Zhuyu still asked Su Ying for a contraceptive pill.
She had been by Su Ying’s side for a long time, and she had learned quite a bit from Su Ying. Su Ying said that her bone frame was very small, and her hip was too small. If she were to get married and have children in the future, it was better to wait until she was older. So even if she married Jiang Yang, she didn’t want to have children too early. She still wanted to serve Su Ying for two more years.
It was Her Highness’s fault since she couldn’t bear to be separated from Lin Zhuyu!
Jiang Yang was an orphan, and he had followed Xiao Jin ever since the latter joined the army. It was easy for the two of them to get married. Prince Qi’s Manor could just issue a letter of marriage contract, and they only need to go to the government office to obtain their official seal.
However, Lin Zhuyu was Xiao Jin’s concubine previously. Although she had received Xiao Jin’s divorce letter in the Tiger Base, the divorce procedures in the Chu State had not been completed yet.
Su Ying summoned Zhang Shuming and left this matter to him.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jin had also arrived at the Imperial Guards’ office.
“There is a message from the other side saying that a river pirate gang has appeared in the capital. They have robbed many officials. The victims have all gone to the Capital Governor’s Office to make reports. Today, the Capital Governor found clues about the river pirate gang. When his men were investigating, they happened to encounter the patrolling Imperial Guards. The Imperial Guards just happened to block their way. The two sides had an argument and started fighting.”
Xiao Jin’s face did not show any emotion. “How are the casualties?”
“Seven or eight guys were hurt on our side, but none of them were seriously injured. The only trouble is that one of the officials died.”
If someone died, things would not be so easy to resolve.
“The Capital Governor has already arrived.”
Xiao Jin strode into the government office and saw the Capital Governor already waiting in the hall. A corpse lay at his feet.
The Capital Governor turned around when he heard the movement. When he saw Xiao Jin, he went forward and bowed. “Your Highness..”
