The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 269: I Keep No Useless People by My Side
At this moment, the Eldest Prince looked like a fierce demon, eyes filled with a venomous glow. If Jun Ning hadn’t known his true identity, she might have genuinely been frightened, thinking that she was doomed, once again hanging by a thread.
But knowing the true identity of the Eldest Prince, Jun Ning understood he was just trying to scare her.
Otherwise, paper cannot wrap fire.
If the Eldest Prince really committed such a murder and burial, those princes who were fiercely contending with him wouldn’t let it go, and it’s likely that there are people watching him even now.
How could the Eldest Prince dare to do such a thing without any consideration?
Jun Ning chuckled inwardly, then said, "If you’re done, just leave quickly! Stop scaring me. This house has already been sold to the Third Prince of the East Chu Hall, and he will be here soon to hand over things with me, so it’s not convenient for idle people to be present."
Jun Ning was really tired of him and wanted to chase him away quickly.
Sure enough, as soon as the Eldest Prince heard Jun Ning’s words, he was immediately unsettled, "What did you say?"
He didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly walked out, muttering under his breath, "The Third Prince and I have always been arch enemies, often sending people to tail me. Now there might be his people around me, and you, an old granny, actually sold this house to him?"
"I can’t let him see me here. I have to leave quickly."
"Otherwise, if he finds out I came to the Black Market to buy someone, he will surely report me to the Emperor."
The Eldest Prince slicked away without delay, no longer bothering to trouble Jun Ning.
Jun Ning watched his hurried departure, shook her head, and turned to tend to the wounds of the man she had brought back.
This man had already passed out, unable to hold on, and she had to move quickly.
Jun Ning squatted on the ground, hastily taking off the small green bag from her body.
She usually carries a small bag when going out, filled with enough Silver Coins and life-saving medicine for crucial moments.
She mostly uses the Silver Coins whenever she goes out, but has never used the life-saving medicines.
Previously, she even despised these medicines for taking up space in her bag, making it heavy and burdensome, complaining quite a bit.
But now, in such a critical moment, having medicine to use, she finally understands whether these are a burden.
They are not a burden, but a lifesaver.
Jun Ning took out three small bottles of blue and white porcelain, took three life-saving pills from them and fed them to the man, then simply cleaned and bandaged his wounds, dragging him to a nearby couch to rest.
These medicines were prepared by the Imperial Physician in the palace, costing her a fortune, and it took three months to acquire them.
The excuse used was to have life-saving medicine available in case her mother consort’s life was ever at stake.
Now, finally, they were put to use.
After about the time of two incense sticks, the man slowly woke up.
The man knew well how severe his injuries were; he had really thought he was going to die, and even if Jun Ning bought him, it would only be for his body. But instead, he was pulled back from the gates of hell by the person who had bought him.
He felt strength returning to his dantian, and the pain in his body gradually easing.
Vaguely remembering, he had just been fed some medicine.
The person who fed him the medicine saved his life!
He looked around curiously, searching for any living presence. Seeing Jun Ning, busy with something not far away, he asked, "... Was it you who saved me?"
Jun Ning stopped counting money, looked at the pale-faced man on the couch, nodded, "Yes!" She paused, then added, "From now on, you will stay with me! I am your master, it’s normal to save you."
"The kindness of saving my life, I will repay someday." said the man, a bit embarrassed, pointing to the wig on Jun Ning’s head, "That, did your white hair fall off?"
"Huh?" Jun Ning randomly reached up and grabbed her head, "... White hair fell off?"
Without that, only a few strands of white hair might have fallen, but with her tug, the entire wig slipped off, revealing her original long black straight hair.
Jun Ning looked dumbfounded at the pile of wigs on the ground and then felt her original hair.
The man on the couch looked at Jun Ning in astonishment.
At this moment, he saw Jun Ning standing with a straight back, she wasn’t hunchbacked at all.
The large hump on her back was obviously fake. And those wrinkles on her face, because they were drawn on, now with sweat, she casually wiped her face and the wrinkles were wiped... wiped off!
This, this, this... This is no old granny, just a little girl.
"You... you..." The man stuttered for a long time, then asked, "How old are you?"
"How old?" Jun Ning said, "I am eighty this year."
"Well..." The man coughed a few times, pointed at Jun Ning’s face and said, "You really don’t need to pretend to be an old granny anymore, your makeup is all smeared, you clearly look like you’re four or five."
Hearing this, Jun Ning quickly stood up to look in the mirror, sure enough, her makeup had smeared, revealing her naive face.
Finally, she stopped pretending, washed off the random makeup on her face, took off the hunchback, and confessed to the man in black, "I am four years old."
"Four years old?" The man was a bit dazed, thinking, "From now on, will he have to work hard for a four-year-old child? A four-year-old, and a girl child at that, what can she possibly do? What if she asks him to help wipe her bottom after going potty?"
This is not what I, the top killer in Jiangnan, should be doing!
The man sighed deeply, utterly frustrated.
"... Whatever, whatever! Accept fate!"
The man couldn’t comprehend it, so he simply gave up on thinking. Whatever this child asked him to do, he would just do it! After all, she was his savior.
Jun Ning had no idea what the man was thinking in those brief moments. Seeing the time, she thought it was almost time to return. She untied the money pouch from her waist and placed it on the table, "From now on, you are my person, are you willing to work for me?"
The man nodded, "Willing."
"Good. Take this bag of gold leaves to buy some food and drink, and then buy a few servant girls and boys back. Together, transform this place. I plan to turn it into an assassin training camp; in a while, people who need training will be sent over."
"From now on, you will be the manager here, responsible for overseeing everything here."
"The kindness of saving your life, you shall repay by burning your value! I do not keep useless people around me."
Although Jun Ning was a child, the words she spoke were powerful and full of strength, making anyone who heard realize she was not a simple character.
The man, hearing these words from Jun Ning, no longer dared to imagine she would make him...
