The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 294

And Jun Ning let the freshly brewed tea be brought forward, personally handing it to herself...

Jun Ning said to Ye Ying, "Lord of the Left Wing, please have some tea."

Ye Ying, with trembling hands, took the tea handed over by Jun Ning, drank it with a very complicated expression, and then hurriedly said, "Good tea!" A tea personally served by the Pavilion Master is indeed the best in the world.

Jun Ning: "......"

Kiss-up.

"Sir, why are you shaking over good tea?" Zhang Zihao was puzzled, "Good tea, just enjoy it. You’re shaking so much that the tea spills out. Could it be that the person who added the tea put something in it?"

"Stop spouting nonsense." Ye Ying glared at Zhang Zihao in displeasure, "These trembling hands are intrinsic, not caused by anyone."

Zhang Zihao paused for a moment and thought, "Is it really intrinsic? He knew those with naturally trembling hands would shake continuously, not intermittently."

It must be that little black sphere causing trouble.

Humph, the unlucky little black sphere.

Zhang Zihao said, "Sir, anyway, leaving this little black sphere here will only cause trouble. Why not chase away that little black sphere who added the tea? We can then continue discussing the matter just now. Killing Princess Anle, weren’t we discussing it well before the little black sphere came in?"

"... Yes, it was quite good." Ye Ying nodded in agreement and added, "But this has nothing to do with chasing people away or not."

Zhang Zihao: "......"

"Let’s continue talking. How much silver are you planning to use to take Princess Anle’s life?" Ye Ying inquired.

Hearing this, Jun Ning gave Ye Ying a look, signaling to drive the people away. She had no mood for this business and didn’t want bad luck.

Ye Ying understood Jun Ning’s signal, but he had shown interest in this business, so it wasn’t good to suddenly chase people away now!

Wait a little longer, wait until the sum is named, and then chase them away under the guise of dissatisfaction.

Jun Ning nodded, softly approving Ye Ying’s intention.

Zhang Zihao started by offering a price of ten thousand silver notes to take Princess Anle’s life.

Ye Ying was nearly bent over by that ten thousand, after all, it was quite a big deal. But seeing Jun Ning’s cautionary glance, he immediately sobered up and decided to chase them away.

"This young man, what nonsense are you saying? The life of the honorable Princess Anle, and you’re offering just ten thousand silver notes? Do you think you’re dismissing a beggar?"

"Please leave; my Qianji Pavilion won’t do this business."

Ye Ying’s reason for refusal was fair and honorable, and Zhang Zihao and Jun Yang couldn’t detect anything amiss.

Zhang Zihao merely felt he hadn’t offered enough, so he suddenly stood up. Ye Ying thought he was upset and ready to leave. But in truth, Zhang Zihao searched through his clothes, took quite a while, and then suddenly pulled out two more stacks of silver notes.

The thickness of these two stacks of silver notes was on par with the previous stack.

However—

The denomination of these two stacks of silver notes was much larger than the previous stack.

Each of these silver notes was worth five hundred taels, and judging by the thickness, a rough estimate put one stack at fifty thousand taels. Two stacks would make it a hundred thousand taels.

This time, Jun Ning was completely stunned.

Was Zhang Zihao’s easy offering of one hundred thousand taels really his own money? Was it simply that he wished to kill her? Was there really no one behind him?

Jun Ning was skeptical.

Perhaps his actions were actually at the Duke’s behest!

But the Duke, at his age, is recognizable to everyone. If he personally came to a place like Qianji Pavilion to buy someone’s life, he might accidentally expose his identity and cause trouble.

But sending a child would seem like a child’s quarrel, a grudge, or playing house even if seen, not taken seriously, unnoticed and ignored.

However—

Jun Ning couldn’t understand, even if unnoticed, there was a certain risk in it.

Rather than risk his grandson, why wouldn’t the Duke send a stranger?

A stranger could ensure his family escaped unscathed, right?

Why didn’t he send a stranger?

Jun Ning thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out a reasonable explanation. He vaguely felt there was deceit, and the matter was not as simple as it appeared!

Zhang Zihao’s silver notes couldn’t be accepted, nor could his request be fulfilled.

Caution for the choicest longevity!

Jun Ning signaled to Ye Ying to swiftly send them off; this business seemed peculiar, better not to accept it.

If it was the Ye Ying of the past, seeing the master decline such a huge deal, he’d surely berate the master for not making money and being a bit foolish.

But after all these years of experience, the new master surprised him, made him marvel, and won his trust time and again.

He trusted the new master, unconditionally trusted her.

Since the Pavilion Master refused this money, she must have her reasons.

Thinking so, he ordered Zhang Zihao and Jun Yang out immediately; when the two were reluctant to leave, he resorted to force without any politeness.

After the two were sent away, Jun Ning sat beside Ye Ying in the main seat, constantly repeating, "Something’s wrong, very wrong!"

But exactly what was wrong, she couldn’t figure out immediately.

"Pavilion Master, why do you feel something’s wrong?" Ye Ying asked, puzzled.

Jun Ning replied, "That young man is the Duke’s only grandson. No matter how rich the Duke is, he can’t be so wealthy as to casually give his grandson a hundred thousand taels to buy a life. I suspect the person here to buy Princess Anle’s life isn’t that young man, but the Duke."

"Pavilion Master, maybe you’re overthinking it."

Ye Ying, being unaware of the intricacies of the officialdom and never having been in the courts, had always roamed the martial world, so he thought simply.

"No, no, no, I’m not overthinking." Jun Ning said, "My intuition is usually spot-on. I sense that young man has ill intentions, and I’m afraid he not only wants Princess Anle’s life but has other aims too."

"As for what other motives he has, I can’t figure it out just yet. I need more time to think about it."

"Let me think more."
