The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 276: Never Expected This Turn of Events
"That’s what you get for being disobedient."
Jun Ning fussed with her own two paws for a long time until both were red, then she gave up.
She thought no one saw her ridiculous and boring behavior, but little did she know, it was all observed by the Hidden Guards outside. She was too engrossed and didn’t notice them.
These Hidden Guards were originally lurking in Weiyang Hall keeping an eye on Lan Xi He, but now that Lan Xi He was gone, without a trace of where she went, they couldn’t track her, so they could only keep an eye on Jun Ning.
It was Emperor Yongning who ordered them to watch over Jun Ning, no, no, specifically to protect Jun Ning’s safety.
Recently, dangerous currents have started to flow again in the palace, making it quite unsafe.
Emperor Yongning promptly took preventive measures.
...
A month’s time seemed neither too long nor too short.
In the blink of an eye, Lan Xi He had already been gone for a month, the homing pigeon Jun Ning secretly released earlier had already delivered messages to the Crown Prince ahead of Lan Xi He, and had returned with news of Lan Xi He.
Jun Ning took the message from the pigeon’s leg and began to read it carefully.
The letter stated that Lan Xi He had successfully completed the task in twenty-eight days, and she was already on her way back. The Crown Prince’s side had also heightened vigilance and would absolutely not let the bad things in Jun Ning’s dream happen.
When Lan Xi He returned, it was already a fortnight later.
On the day Lan Xi He entered the palace to report back to Jun Ning, she was taken to the Black Market that night, in front of the property Jun Ning had purchased.
After all this time of tidying up, the property had a completely new look from the outside.
The entrance had been redone, with fiery red lanterns hanging on both sides for illumination. The paint on the door was reinforced, and the entrance road was much smoother. The inside seemed to have been reorganized as well, no longer looking empty.
Two small servants were responsible for guarding the entrance.
Seeing Jun Ning and Lan Xi He, two little kids coming over, the leader of the clever batch stopped them, "Who are you? What are you here for? I advise you to leave quickly, this is not a place you should be."
The servant was very alert, and acted swiftly.
Jun Ning smiled and nodded, "Not bad."
"What not bad?" The servant said, "No idle people allowed to linger here, leave quickly if there’s nothing."
"How could you talk like that?" Lan Xi He, tanned black from the border journey, said displeased, "Do you know whose place this is?"
Lan Xi He was so irritated, she almost pushed away the person blocking Jun Ning.
Jun Ning stopped Lan Xi He, and said to the servant, "We are not idle people, we are here to find someone."
"Who are you looking for?" The servant asked sourly.
"Ye Ying!" Jun Ning said.
"How dare you call our master’s name! Who are you? Do you know your own position? You dare call our master’s name? Do you want to live?" A couple of maidservants suddenly came over and said in unison.
Jun Ning: "........"
Even after mentioning Ye Ying’s name, these maids and servants still wouldn’t let her in?
This was ridiculous, they seemed to fiercely defend Ye Ying!
What kind of charm potion did Ye Ying give them?
Perhaps... That...
Jun Ning thought of some unpleasant things.
However, the truth was quite different from what she thought; after Ye Ying bought the maids and servants, some of them were dishonest and stole things from the property to sell.
Ye Ying, without saying a word, performed a chest-crushing stone feat for those stealing and slacking maids and servants, instantly scaring and subduing them.
Now not only did they dare not engage in wrongdoing, but they were completely loyal to Ye Ying. Privately, they often discussed Ye Ying, with several young and beautiful maids even having a crush on him, yet Ye Ying ignored them.
The more Ye Ying ignored them, the more persistent they became, defending him at every turn and not allowing any disrespect towards him.
Jun Ning was unaware of this; she only felt their attitude towards Ye Ying was overly infatuated, a bit excessive. She said displeased, "I am your master’s superior."
"Superior?"
Upon hearing these words, the maids and servants glanced up and down at Jun Ning, then covered their mouths and burst into laughter.
"Such a little one, actually dare to dream of being our master’s superior?"
"May I ask little one, are you weaned yet? Or are you dreaming big dreams of spring and autumn, wanting to be our master’s superior? I want to be Emperor too!"
"Hahaha... Hahaha..."
Another round of mixed laughter filled the air.
Jun Ning’s mouth twitched. She never expected this outcome when she asked Ye Ying to buy some maids and servants to fill the property and clean it.
At this point, if she had the land lease of the property with her, she could prove her identity to get in, but unfortunately she forgot to bring it.
It’s all her fault for leaving in a rush and forgetting the lease.
"Little one, listen to your sisters’ kind advice and leave quickly. Our master is not easy to deal with; if you dare claim to be his superior, be careful he might cut you down in anger."
"He is not like us, easy to talk to."
Jun Ning shook her head and retorted, "No, if he sees me, he absolutely won’t cut me down. Why don’t you take me to him? Hm?"
"No way, just leave!" The maids and servants began to drive Jun Ning away, "If you don’t leave, watch out or we’ll chase you off."
They grabbed their tools, full of momentum, ready to drive them away. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Lan Xi He grabbed Jun Ning’s arm and took a big step back, saying, "Ah Ning, why don’t we go back first? Hm?"
Jun Ning sighed, "... For now, we can only do that, let’s go back first." Next time she’ll be sure to bring the lease and see if they dare chase her off.
Jun Ning and Lan Xi He wrapped their heads and faces in scarves and left together.
Little did they know, shortly after they left, Ye Ying returned from errands and asked the people guarding at the door, "Did anyone come looking today?"
"Yes, but we chased them away."
Ye Ying asked puzzled, "Why did you chase away someone coming to find me?"
Several maids sweeping nearby hurried forward, trying to please him, said, "Those outsiders heard you were waiting for someone, so repeatedly people came pretending to look for you, even boasting they’re your dad, mom, little uncle, brother-in-law... a whole bunch of relatives... so we chased them away..."
"Good job." Ye Ying said, "If more people pretend to be my relatives in the future, don’t bother with them, just chase them away... I’m all alone with no relatives."
"Yes, Master, we understand."
