The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 268: Summer Insects Cannot Discuss Ice
"Old lady, I’m kindly reminding you, don’t be like a dog biting Lv Dongbin, unable to recognize a good person," the Eldest Prince said in a harsh tone.
"Well, thank you for your kindness," Jun Ning replied coldly.
"Is that your attitude when saying thank you?" The Eldest Prince was obviously displeased.
"What, do you want me to kneel and kowtow to you?" Jun Ning retorted.
The Eldest Prince shamelessly said, "If you’d like to, I wouldn’t mind."
Jun Ning: "..." This idiot, does he even understand that she was mocking him? Did he actually take it seriously?
The Eldest Prince listened to the old lady’s voice for a while, feeling it somewhat familiar, but couldn’t recall where he had heard it before. So, he gave it a moment’s thought and then dropped it.
He continued tugging at the issue with Jun Ning.
"Fool, just listen to me, don’t buy this person." The Eldest Prince glanced up and down at Jun Ning, saying, "You have this amount of silver, why not buy yourself some nice clothes and shoes, and have a good meal? Why spend this wrongful money and be such a fool?"
Jun Ning: "I want to, what can you do about it?"
"You’re just buying a burden, aren’t you? Or are you planning to save him instead of protecting yourself?" The Eldest Prince speculated further, "If that’s the case, you really have the mindset of a saint!"
An unrewarded saint, no wonder living so poorly.
Jun Ning was too lazy to pay attention to the Eldest Prince, whose nonsense really annoyed her.
She watched as the boss had already put the person she bought onto the cart, and the servant was already pushing it forward. She nodded to the boss and quickly followed, ignoring the Eldest Prince.
Jun Ning also thought that once she left, the Eldest Prince would stop pestering her.
But, annoyingly, the Eldest Prince shamelessly chased after her.
"Don’t rush off! Hear me out." The Eldest Prince said.
Jun Ning didn’t even turn around, "But I’m busy."
"But I’m not busy."
Jun Ning: "..."
"Let me tell you, in life, taking care of yourself is enough, don’t meddle in others’ affairs. Otherwise, like now, living so poor and destitute, unable to afford new clothes."
"Life is short, living happily is important."
"Otherwise, look at you being so old, already one foot in the grave, yet never having a good day in life, wouldn’t that be regrettable?"
The Eldest Prince followed behind Jun Ning, babbling on with what he thought were wise words. He spoke so confidently, so arrogantly.
How empty does a person have to be to stubbornly believe that what they think is right?
Jun Ning was just too lazy to bother with him, but after hearing his words, she felt it beneath her to respond.
No wonder he wasn’t favored by the Emperor despite his military merits, there was a big problem with his thinking.
He was part of the Imperial Family yet cared only for himself, how could the Emperor like him?
How could any slightly ambitious prince ever look up to him?
Sigh—
Jun Ning wanted to address his issues so he would correct them. But then she thought forget it, she didn’t want to risk angering the Eldest Prince and getting killed.
Let him say whatever he wants!
You can’t discuss ice with a summer bug!
Jun Ning led the way in front, with the servant pushing the cart behind, and soon they arrived at the big house Jun Ning had bought in the eastern district.
"This is my home, it’s enough to send the person here." Jun Ning said to the servant pushing the cart.
The servant nodded, helped Jun Ning move the man into the house, and then left.
The Eldest Prince looked at the imposing mansion in front of him, momentarily speechless.
The house would roughly cost at least five hundred gold to purchase.
This old lady could afford such a house, she was certainly not a poor person.
And all the things he just said were derisively assuming the old lady was poor? Really... really a slap to the face!
The Eldest Prince’s face wasn’t actually slapped, yet it felt hot.
He just didn’t understand, if she was so wealthy, why did she dress so shabbily? Was she saving money by wearing rags all the time?
Yes, that must be it.
Thinking of this, the Eldest Prince entered Jun Ning’s house, found Jun Ning, and started advising her tirelessly.
"Old lady, let me tell you, since you’re so rich, you should treat yourself better. Eat well, dress well, and hire a few maids to take good care of you."
"You don’t have to live so frugally, otherwise if you suddenly die one day and haven’t enjoyed life, you’ll regret it."
Thinking of his mother consort, during her lifetime, she was always reluctant to eat well, reluctant to buy things. After she passed, she indeed left him a lot of money, but her life was truly hard.
He felt heartache every time he thought about it now.
"Please leave." Jun Ning hated the Eldest Prince, why did he keep following her?
In such a bustling Black Market, why did he zero in on her? It’s bad enough that he was disrespectful to her several times, but now he was even following her home?
If she didn’t know who he was, meeting someone like him with issues, she would definitely have chased him out with a kitchen knife.
The Eldest Prince didn’t know what was up with him today, he just wanted to follow this old lady, and he also found this old lady somewhat familiar.
If he knew the old lady was Jun Ning in disguise, he probably wouldn’t think like this, nor act like this.
"Is it not okay for me to watch you save people? Why do you want me to leave?" The Eldest Prince raised an eyebrow.
Jun Ning snorted coldly, "This is my turf, you’re an outsider here, why should I keep you? Are you particularly good-looking? Hmm?"
The Eldest Prince was just about to narcissistically say that he was dashing and charming, loved by every girl in the Imperial City, but was interrupted by a cold splash of water from Jun Ning, leaving him quite dismayed.
Jun Ning said, "You’re just a crooked and cracked melon, nothing impressive to look at, quickly get lost."
Humph, he thinks he can call someone crooked and cracked? Jun Ning can too.
The Eldest Prince listened to the words he used to insult the old lady when they first met, now returned by the old lady, and was so mad he clenched his fists, "You, you’re just an old lady, yet you dare to insult me like this? Aren’t you afraid of death?"
"Your mansion seems big, but besides you and me and a dead person, there’s no one else."
"Aren’t you afraid that after angering me, I’ll kill you?"
