Chapter 314: Chapter 311: One More Update

Talented Lady Jing had not slept all night and yet had not figured out how to meet Master Yu Sheng. Although Master Yu Sheng was in the palace, he was not someone whom just anyone could meet—apart from Empress Dowager Yan Ping and Empress Xiao, even Noble Consort Wen could not easily see him.

Talented Lady Jing wept and cried, kneeling down in front of the Empress’s sleeping quarters.

Empress Xiao saw Talented Lady Jing early in the morning and immediately became angry, outright accusing her of nonsense, declaring how could it be possible for the Eldest Princess Mansion to be invaded by evil spirits, and that it was mere devilish babble, driving Talented Lady Jing out.

Gui San and Gui Si had taken down two households in one night’s time and were quite energized, while Song Gao and Song Yuan became somewhat cautious.

"Big Brother Ghosts, isn’t this speed too fast?" Although they operated on the principle of having no specific targets and harmed whomever they caught, as the number of victims increased, it became increasingly difficult to choose.

"Too fast?" Gui San and Gui Si were a bit puzzled. What did he mean?

"I mean, if we make too much noise, we might not be able to control the situation. What if we get caught? Then we won’t be able to carry out subsequent actions." Moreover, they had plucked quite a lot of wool from the sheep on their farm, and there was a need for newly born lambs. At this rate, one bald lamb after another would surely arouse suspicion.

The method seemed simple, but it needed quite a bit of wool each time, a whole young lamb couldn’t even be used once as bait.

"But, our Young Master hasn’t even started yet." Gui San and Gui Si thought that this was hardly anything, no one had died yet, so how could it cause any shock.

"Big Brother Ghost, I think we should be a little more careful. Elder Can also means to be cautious, and the patrols in the city have clearly increased these nights." Song Gao spoke, watching another group of guards pass by under the night sky.

These were personnel temporarily dispatched by the Crown Prince’s Mansion, and some even knew the Ghost Shadow Technique, having set up many things in the city.

"Brother, I think Song Yuan has a point." Gui Si also felt so.

"Alright then, we’ll return today and report to the elder tomorrow." Gui San thought it was his first time not being able to show his face in front of the Young Master and gain his appreciation; this time, he had grown a bit smarter and would not be rash again.

...

Zheng Haoyuan had finally come up with a novel idea, organizing a hunting competition during this season when the grass turned yellow—what could be more thrilling than this?

Zheng Haoyuan thought his cousin would surely like it, but considering she had declined his suggestions to go out several times, he felt a bit anxious, and early in the morning, he personally sent Eunuch Cang Er with his letter.

Eunuch Cang Er came and also brought some trinkets for Xue Liu and Xing Yu. He was very well-behaved, waiting far away in the alley outside Prince Duan’s Mansion, not even daring to linger.

Zheng Nianru was bored. In her previous life, the music and dances that reached her were selectively the most outstanding.

But in Prince Duan’s Mansion, that was not possible, and after watching a few days of singing, dancing, and operas, she found it all incredibly dull and monotonous and followed Prince Duan on a trip outside the city before returning, exactly when she felt utterly bored.

"Is The Savage still not dead?" Zheng Nianru raised an eyebrow.

"He’s doing quite well, I heard Eunuch Cang Er say, The Savage is surprisingly well-behaved now." Xing Yu’s eyes sparkled, she had no interest in dances or anything, The Savage was much more fun.

Zheng Nianru did not really want to go due to a previous unpleasant experience, but being extremely bored, she still directly refused.

"Shall we go and see?" Zheng Nianru asked the others in the room.

Fu Dong disagreed, Nian Xia and Xing Yu were very excited, Xue Liu hesitated but finally nodded as Eunuch Cang Er had given them quite a few benefits.

"Princess, you are about to be wed, it’s better to be well-behaved and stay within the mansion." Nanny Yun walked in and sternly glared at Nian Xia and the others, accusing them of instigating.

"Nanny, it’s harmless to go out and play a bit; there might not be many chances to go out in the future." Zheng Nianru said, fully aware of Nanny Yun’s weak spot, mainly because she herself also wanted to go.

In her previous life, The Savage was still alive when she died, but she guessed there wouldn’t be a good end to it. Initially, Nanyi had disagreed with such extravagantly lustful lifestyles, especially those stimulating, bloody entertainments, showing even less interest.

As soon as Nanny Yun heard her, she instantly thought of the days Zheng Nianru had been locked up in Qishun Building as a child. There wouldn’t be many days left to casually play, and eventually, she softened her heart.

"But be careful, take them all with you." Nanny Yun looked at the others; they were all kids, all at an age fond of fun.

"Nanny Yun, you should come too—" Xing Yu grabbed Nanny Yun’s arm, smiling cheerily.

"I certainly will not go. What’s there to see?" Nanny Yun scoffed. "Oh, and take Yin He along, at least he can be of some use."

Nanny Yun thought for a moment. Last time, Yin He had exerted quite a bit of effort; it would be better to have him along.

"Nanny, you are the best—" Xing Yu excitedly jumped up.

"To Golden Spirit Mountain?" Prince Duan asked in confusion, wanting to refuse, but the words on his lips suddenly felt inappropriate. "Why suddenly go to Golden Spirit Mountain?"

"Father, Fu Gong invited me to play." Zheng Nianru did not hide it.

Prince Duan instinctively wanted to refuse, considering Zheng Haoyuan to be no good, but thinking of Zheng Nianru spending all day confined at home with no close friends, although they were cousins, it still seemed like an acquaintanceship formed within the palace was okay.

"Alright then, bring more people." Prince Duan agreed verbally, but then he thought, no, pondering over it again and again, he decided to send a message to Zong Yunqian, having him accompany them, which made him feel somewhat more at ease.
