The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 792 - 378: Rejected on the Spot, Cat Catches the Mouse (One More Update)
The doctor continued explaining while demonstrating, "When I pressed here just now, this gentleman here cried out in pain. When I pressed over here, the gentleman also cried out. And when I pressed here, he cried even louder. But this, this is a leg."
"..." Xiao Wu felt so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into a hole.
It was also his first time trying to disguise himself this way.
At that moment, afraid of being exposed, he kept crying out in pain whenever pressed, and due to nervousness, did not even notice where the doctor was pressing.
Yan Jinyao glanced at the embarrassed Xiao Wu, then turned to look at Xiao Jinxing, not getting angry at all, as if she had expected such an outcome. Her tone indifferent and formal, she asked, "Would the gentleman like to visit our kitchen as well?"
No hint of sarcasm in her tone.
Yet it was enough to make Xiao Wu lose all face.
Xiao Jinxing’s face also seemed unable to maintain composure.
It was the first time someone had exposed him so straightforwardly.
Xiao Jinxing naturally could not show any guilt; he still maintained his noble demeanor and said, "I merely wished to meet with the Second Master, but finding the Second Master is so difficult that I had to resort to this method. Please, Second Master, understand."
"Of course, I do not understand." Yan Jinyao was merciless.
Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips.
Xiao Wu had already been too ashamed to show his face earlier on.
Hearing the Second Master’s words, he felt a moment of admiration for the woman’s courage.
It inexplicably made her feel like she resembled the Empress.
Neither arrogant nor servile, fearless of power.
"The night is deep, I suggest the gentleman rest early." After saying this, Yan Jinyao turned around and left.
The implication was clear.
She did not want to talk with them any further.
"Second Master." Xiao Jinxing blocked Yan Jinyao’s path, "I came from Xun City, traveling a thousand miles just to meet your boss and to learn about doing business."
"The way of doing business is a complex art, requiring perception, talent, and practical experience, not something that can simply be learned. Otherwise, out of the numerous merchants in Daxuan Kingdom, how many could truly stand out? Please, do not take shortcuts, many things must be understood through one’s own hard work." Yan Jinyao was cold.
Her voice was polite but distant.
"Even if I cannot learn from him, may I, out of admiration, meet the boss?"
"The boss has always been disinclined to mingle. It’s not just towards you, sir. Since becoming the nation’s wealthiest, many have sought to meet him over the past two or three years, and he has refused them all at the door. It’s not that the boss is aloof, just that each person has their own lifestyle. Please, do not compel what is difficult."
Xiao Jinxing wanted to say more.
"Sir, Daxuan Kingdom is a place where laws are respected. If you continue to pester, or use such underhanded methods, our establishment will not hesitate to report you to the authorities. Please, sir, conduct yourself with dignity." Yan Jinyao’s tone grew increasingly firm.
No wonder such a woman had the mettle to run such a big place like this.
And the boss behind her...
How powerful he must be.
Xiao Jinxing slightly tightened his lips.
With the conversation reaching this point, if he pushed further, it was very likely he’d be thrown out of Guilai Inn.
"Today’s fault is mine." Xiao Jinxing conceded.
Yan Jinyao nodded slightly, and in her usual polite manner, said, "I shall not disturb the gentleman any longer and will take my leave now."
"Second Master, please walk slowly."
Yan Jinyao left, taking charge as she walked away.
The door shut.
Xiao Wu finally couldn’t contain himself and abruptly jumped up from the bed.
"Sir, this Second Master really is a tough character!" Xiao Wu exclaimed.
Xiao Jinxing coldly glanced at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu’s expression flickered.
He also knew that the Emperor was dissatisfied with his recent performance.
"The true viciousness lies behind the employer." Xiao Jinxing said coldly then instructed, "First, have someone follow Yan Jinyao and report her whereabouts to us at all times. Second, clarify Yan Jinyao’s background and find out what she did before becoming the Second Master of Anji. Third, inquire where Yan Jinyao frequently visits."
"Yes."
Xiao Wu accepted the commands.
Afterward.
He couldn’t help but ask, "My lord, how long do you plan to stay in Xuzhou? We have been away from the palace for over half a month. Continuing like this, the civil and military officials are bound to have opinions."
"I have my own measures." Xiao Jinxing didn’t entertain more of Xiao Wu’s words.
Xiao Wu dared not speak further.
...
After leaving the inn, Yan Jinyao went straight back to her own residence.
She knew better than to seek out the employer.
The employer had instructed that once she was seen, she should not come to find her deliberately.
It was enough to visit her while doing routine inspections of the shops.
The employer was always strict and meticulous in everything she did, Ye Jinyin never doubted any of her decisions.
What she didn’t quite understand was how her decisive and astute employer, who feared neither heaven nor earth, was hiding from someone, even avoiding them outright?!
Upon further thought.
Yan Jinyao all of a sudden realized something.
This person looks identical to the young master, could it be...
The employer had said that the young madam and the young master’s father had long passed away, hadn’t she?!
Now Yan Jinyao mostly understood.
Once she understood, she suddenly felt elated.
She had always wondered, how perfect and outstanding a man must be to capture her employer’s heart, and even against conventional views decisively have two children with him, if not for her employer’s strong capabilities, such a woman might have been criticized and ridiculed by others.
Even so, even though the employer has achieved such brilliance now, there are still some gossiping women secretly criticizing, saying the employer is an unclean person who secretly had children with some unknown man, fled to Xuzhou, opened a brothel, and even a small brothel, shameless!
And some even say, if the employer were a good person, she wouldn’t have had her as the Second Master.
She was, after all, born a prostitute, sold into a brothel from a young age due to poverty, if not for the employer, she had never even thought that she could support herself without selling her body, to live out her true self like this.
However, when someone slanders the employer because of her, she wants to leave the employer proactively, yet the employer just laughed it off.
She never cared about the views of others, living so clearly and freely.
Such a capricious and powerful woman, besides admiration, she really wondered for a long time who the man she was willing to willingly give everything for was?!
It turns out it’s him.
At a glance, that person is a distinguished figure, definitely no ordinary individual.
Plus the obvious apprehension the employer shows toward him, his identity must be even more extraordinary.
Thinking about it, Yan Jinyao inexplicably smiled.
In this cat-and-mouse game, who knows who will be the final victor!
She hopes that the man isn’t too weak.
Otherwise, for her employer to have two children for him, would indeed be too disappointing.
