Chapter 440: Third Sister Yu’s Thoughts
"Bang, bang, bang!" After knocking her head several times, Third Sister You said, "Yesterday, because of my and Second Sister's matter, Master went to great lengths and trouble, and we also offended the prince. We are the ones who caused trouble for Master."
"From now on, my life belongs to you, my Third Sister Yu. Even if you ask me to die, I will do it without blinking an eye!"
"Alright, get up! We are all family, even for Zhi'er's sake, I will not let you suffer any injustice. Moreover, it is me who has implicated you. You are not worthy of the Third Prince's plot, he is just using you as an opportunity to embarrass me. Therefore, I will naturally not ignore it."
"When I came back just now, Sister Bao also told me that although you are not considered to be from the mansion, you are also related to Ningguo Mansion. In two days, I will dispatch a few female guards to follow you. I think this kind of thing will not happen again in the future."
After saying that, Jia Cong led Youshi out of Ningzheng Hall!
Third Sister You got up, turned around and glanced at Qingwen, then her gaze returned to Jia Cong again, and she followed Jia Cong and Youshi away.
You Erjie bowed to Qingwen and said, "It is we sisters who have caused trouble for Master and made you worry. My third sister and I would like to thank Miss Qingwen for her understanding."
Having said that, he followed him away.
Returning to You's courtyard, Jia Cong held You in his arms and said, "Zhi'er must have been worried yesterday."
Yu Shi leaned in Jia Cong's arms and cried, "I am worried and blame myself. If the master is in trouble because of our sisters' affairs, I will not be at peace even if I die."
Jia Cong leaned over and kissed Youshi on the pretty face. "You belong to the master, so aren't your sisters also the master's sisters? Besides, your master is not a fake marquis. Since the master is going to do it, he must be sure of it. Well, the master has been kneeling in front of His Majesty for a whole night. Hurry up and have someone bring some food over. After eating, Zhi'er will accompany the master to have a good rest for a while."
Only then did Youshi stop crying and asked Yindie to go to the kitchen to get some food.
Afterwards, the three sisters of the You family accompanied Jia Cong for dinner. Although her two younger sisters were also present, You still followed Jia Cong into the inner room with a blushing face.
The somewhat suppressed but cheerful voice of Youshi came out from the inner room, making You Erjie and You Sanjie in the hall blush. They were still girls and had never experienced such a thing. Even if they had heard of it before, it was the first time they really heard such a lewd sound.
You Erjie blushed and said to You Sanjie , "Sanjie, let's go back first!"
"What are you going back for?" Third Sister You said seriously, "Eldest sister sent a message to me last night , and it may not be safe to go back now. I thought I'd talk to eldest sister and we stay at home for two days. Besides, the master has caused so much trouble for you and me, and I can't do anything else, but I should serve him for two days."
"We are from a humble family and don't know any rules. How can we serve the Marquis with our clumsy hands?" You Erjie said in a low voice.
"So what? At most I can learn some rules from Yindie. Besides, as long as I take good care of her, I think the master won't blame me even if I make some mistakes."
Seeing that her third sister was determined to stay here, You Erjie was at a loss and could only force herself to think about other things.
However, the continuous sounds in the room poured into her ears. Thinking about how Jia Cong went there in person yesterday for her own affairs, and how he did not back down even in the presence of the Third Prince, and still brought his sisters back safely, her little heart could not help but pound.
It was not until noon that Jia Cong came out of Youshi's room.
"I've fetched some water for the master. Please wash up first. The food will be served soon. Would you like to eat before leaving?" Third Sister You did what she said and directly snatched away Yin Die's job.
She stepped forward and took the initiative to help Jia Cong wipe his palms and cheeks. Looking at the cheek so close to her, Third Sister You's pair of bright eyes couldn't help but ripple a little, and her long eyelashes flickered a few times.
"No wonder the eldest sister followed the master. Following a master like this makes me happy even just thinking about it." Third Sister You thought secretly in her heart.
You Erjie was helping You Sanjie with the work, but she didn't dare to look at Jia Cong.
After washing up, Jia Cong said, "You guys can accompany Zhi'er to eat later. She is tired now, so she should take a rest first. I won't eat here anymore."
"Will the master come over tonight?" Sister Yu San asked again.
"If you have nothing to do, come over!" Jia Cong replied casually, but Third Sister You was delighted. "Then I will help you prepare the wine and snacks and wait for the master to come."
Jia Cong nodded, and after leaving Youshi's courtyard, he headed towards Keqing's small courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, the little maid Zhu'er came up to greet them and said, "Greetings, Master."
"Keqing and the Second Madam of the West Mansion are both here?"
"Grandma and the Second Madam of the West Mansion fell asleep after returning. They haven't woken up yet. My three sisters, Ruizhu, Baozhu, and Ping'er, are waiting in their rooms."
Jia Cong stepped directly into the hall and saw Ping'er and the other two talking in low voices.
"Master is here?"
"Ping'er hasn't been with the master for a while!" Jia Cong stepped forward and said with a smile.
Ping Er shyly poured tea for Jia Cong, "Master, you are too shameless. Baozhu and Ruizhu are still around, and you say such shameful things."
"Ruizhu, Baozhu, go get some food. When your grandmother wakes up, the master will eat here with you."
Ruizhu and the other person left as soon as they were told. When they were out the door, Ping'er screamed and was picked up by Jia Cong and taken to the inner room.
When Ruizhu and the others came back with their food, they could only hear the sound of continuous low singing in the room. Ruizhu put the food box on the table with a pout, "Hmph, what are you eating? When you want to eat later, the food will be cold."
Indeed, when Jia Cong and the others came out, the food had already gone cold. Keqing hurriedly asked Ruizhu to heat it up, and then everyone started eating. Seeing the two little girls looking unhappy, Jia Cong stroked his chin and thought secretly, "It seems that these two little girls are already cooked and can be eaten..."
Jia Cong was happy in his mansion, but the court was not peaceful.
After Emperor Longxing came to court, various ministries reported some things first, and then an imperial censor came out to report, "Your Majesty, yesterday, the champion marquis Jia Cong and the third prince had a fight in Juxian Manor, and dozens of lives were killed and injured. This was extremely bad, and the court should punish them severely."
"Although the Marquis of Guanjun acted violently, he had his reasons, so it is understandable. However, the Third Prince's connection with the gambling house was inappropriate in the first place, and he even instructed the gambling house to detain ordinary people without authorization. This crime is unforgivable."
