Chapter 672: Gui as the Matchmaker (Part 1)
The night deepens.
A plain carriage slowly stopped in front of Prince Beijing's Mansion.
The driver wearing a dog-skin hat stretched his neck and peeked into the gatehouse. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, but his face showed an expression of admiration.
Then he put the whip under his armpit, jumped off the carriage swiftly, and said in a crisp voice: "Master, we have arrived at Prince Beijing's Palace."
Before he finished speaking, the blue canvas door curtain was lifted, revealing a delicate and charming face. He first glanced around with his flowing eyes, and then slowly and gracefully "pulled out" the curvy body.
By the time that enchanting figure was fully stretched out on the shaft, the driver below was already dry-mouthed.
Although he knew that such a woman was not someone he could get involved with, he still couldn't help but move closer, offering his hand to help her, while apologetically saying, "Miss, be careful, don't get bumped."
Who would have thought that this woman looked charming and lovely, but her sharp tongue was merciless. She raised her eyebrows , put one hand on her waist and scolded: "You blind dog slave, how dare you get close to me?! If you don't behave, I will chop off your dog paws and use them as fertilizer for the flowers!"
As she spoke, she raised her fair white hand and made a vicious counterattack.
The driver was frightened and took a half step back. Then he saw the tall and burly guest coming out of the carriage shed. His heart trembled again, and he lowered his eyebrows and smiled politely , "I have good intentions, and I definitely... I don't have any other intentions."
The two people in the car were none other than Sun Shaozong and Xia Jingui.
Given their status, they were too lazy to bother with a temporary driver.
Sun Shaozong jumped out of the car first, then hugged Xia Jingui down by the waist, and gently tidied her temples. He then whispered, "If she doesn't want to do it, don't be stubborn. After all, your own safety is more important."
"Sun Lang!"
Xia Jingui cried out in a tender voice, but then she looked determined: "Don't worry, my dear. I will do everything I can to help you tame this rouge horse!"
The two of them were affectionate and affectionate in front of the car for a while before reluctantly parting.
Xia Jingui crossed her legs and walked to the corner gate of the palace, looking back every few steps. Seeing that she could no longer see Sun Shaozong's eyebrows and eyes, the longing look on her face suddenly turned into complacency.
Hum~
Even if he is the future prime minister, so what? He still has to fall at the feet of this old lady.
Thinking of this, she turned around again and waved her arms, signaling Sun Shaozong to leave first.
Sun Shaozong stared blankly for a while, then got into the carriage in a daze.
But as soon as the car curtain was lowered, the reluctance on his face disappeared instantly, leaving only indifference and depth - obviously, when it comes to acting skills and professionalism, Xia Jingui is still several streets behind him.
The driver, on the other hand, seemed reluctant to leave. He climbed up the shaft of the carriage slowly, thinking sourly that this palace was indeed extremely wealthy. Even the maids who came out for an affair were so beautiful.
After he sat firmly on the shaft of the cart again, he looked at Xia Jingui with longing for a few more times, then asked with a smile: "Sir, should we continue to wait here, or..."
"Go to the Prince's Mansion."
Be good!
No wonder he could hook up with the pretty maid in the prince's palace, it turns out this gentleman is from the prince's palace!
The driver whipped the horse and shouted as he thought about it, driving the carriage leisurely into the night.
About half an hour later.
Sun Shaozong got off the car near the Prince's Mansion, walked around the door in a pretentious manner, and then quietly went home.
As soon as he knocked on the door when he got home, Zhao Zhongji and Zhang Cheng came out to greet him.
"Second Master, are you okay?"
Zhang Cheng looked up and down with concern, but Zhao Zhongji just stood there with his head lowered.
Sun Shaozong did not answer but asked: "When did you come back? Did those people embarrass you?"
Since it was a trap set up by a honey trap, and the purpose was to force Sun Shaozong to bend the law for personal gain, he would naturally not make things too difficult for his driver.
This was also the reason why Sun Shaozong did not care about Zhang Cheng at all after he saw through the trick.
"How dare they! If it weren't for that big black guy's sneak attack, I definitely wouldn't have..."
"Stop talking uselessly."
Seeing Zhang Cheng bragging, Zhao Zhongji stopped him at the right time and reported respectfully: "Second Master, because I heard from Zhang Cheng that you saw through the plan of those people in advance, I took the initiative to conceal this matter and only told Aunt Ruan that you had an appointment at the last minute."
"well done."
Sun Shaozong nodded and ordered: "Give Zhang Cheng twenty taels of silver tomorrow to calm him down."
Zhang Cheng was overjoyed and knelt down on the spot: "Thank you for the reward, Master!"
Sun Shaozong comforted him a few more words, then went to the front hall and told Zhao Zhongji to set out the wine and food - although he had only used 30% of his ability in order to prevent Xia Jingui from losing her ability to move, he was still a little hungry.
Speaking of which...
Then Xia Jingui should have met Princess Beijing, right?
…
But after Xia Jingui watched the carriage leave, she turned around and started to attack the corner gate.
Because she had been coming and going in the mansion frequently in recent days, the gatekeeper did not dare to neglect her. He sent someone to report in while leading her to the backyard.
When Princess Beijing Wei Ying heard that the "missing" Xia Jingui suddenly appeared, she hurriedly sent people to greet her.
So Xia Jingui had a smooth journey and finally arrived before Princess Beijing.
Wei Ying barely managed to patiently dismiss the people around him, but could not help but step forward to pull Xia Jingui's arm, and asked impatiently: "How did you reveal your true identity?! What about Sun Shaozong..."
Suddenly, Xia Jingui took half a step back, leaving her grasp empty. She was so shocked that she naturally stopped talking.
However, these half sentences already made Xia Jingui secretly resentful - after all, they were cousins, but Wei Ying started to ask her how she had let herself slip, without caring at all about her safety.
Just based on this point, she is far inferior to Sun Lang!
Thinking of this, Xia Jingui felt less psychologically burdened about her next plan.
Princess Beijing saw Xia Jingui staring at her after she retreated. She couldn't help but frown and said, "What's wrong with you? What happened today? Why did you disappear with Sun Shaozong out of nowhere?!"
Xia Jingui seemed to turn a deaf ear to a series of questions.
Seeing this, Wei Ying couldn't help but want to reach out and pull her again.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xia Jingui suddenly pulled something out of her sleeve and threw it at Wei Ying's face, gritting her teeth and saying, "What do you think happened?! It's all because of those idiots in your family who let me know what I was doing, and I...I lost my virginity for nothing!"
Wei Ying only smelled a fishy smell and quickly grabbed the thing in her hand to take a closer look. It turned out to be a piece of rag stained with blood...
