Chapter 756: Chapter 750: Which family are you from, cousin?

"Nonsense!" Du Wanqing loudly retorted, "I don’t believe it. My husband would never do such a thing. It must have been you, you vile woman, who brought this upon me. That’s right, my husband even came. He has come to take me home."

Laughter laced with mockery came from the room, with Cuiya sneering, "Take you home? Why don’t you look in the mirror and see what a fright you’ve become? If you step out of this house looking like that, you could scare someone to death. Our Miss is keeping you here for your own good; if you frightened innocent people, the sin would be great."

"You’re talking nonsense, my... my beauty..." Du Wanqing frantically touched her face with both hands, as if she had gone mad.

"Mirror, I want a mirror. Bring me my bronze mirror; I want to see my face."

Cuiya laughed and said, "Alright, wait here; I’ll go get your bronze mirror."

"Cuiya, that’s enough," Miss Du interrupted her, stopping her.

Du Wanqing didn’t have a mirror here; with her current appearance, she wouldn’t dare to look in a mirror.

Always concerned about her looks, she might scare herself to death if she saw her own face.

Cuiya never went against Miss Du’s wishes and thus remained silent, standing to the side.

Miss Du told the two maids serving Du Wanqing, "Stay by her side and do not leave her for a second. She is not allowed to go to the front courtyard."

"Yes, Miss!" the two maids responded.

Miss Du left the room with Cuiya, as Du Wanqing continued to shout inside the room, "My husband has come to fetch me; you can’t keep me locked up. Du Xintong, you vile woman, you will not die a good death."

Hearing these words, Young Master Jie, who was in the courtyard, felt both anger and heartache.

Miss Du seemed to be accustomed to it and turned a deaf ear.

Young Master Jie stepped forward and said, "I’m not here for her, you know I’m here for..."

Miss Du stopped him and said indifferently, "No need to say more. The relationship among the three of us has finally become clear; let’s not make it unclear again. I don’t care whom you’ve come for!"

With that, she left with Cuiya without giving him another look.

Young Master Jie stood there, frozen stiff and unable to move for a long time.

Across the courtyard, in the room facing it, Du Wanqing’s curses continued non-stop.

...

With the two Princes set to take their official wives, the security in Beijing had tightened considerably. The night curfew system was put into effect. When the late night came, Beijing was already under curfew.

But this rule was relevant only for ordinary people; it had little effect on those unconcerned with the Emperor’s orders.

Holding a short sword, Jin Ziyuan stood in front of a group of people dressed in dark clothes, coldly watching a man in white before him.

"Did you send her to Qi Mountain?"

Jin Zijin responded indifferently, "That is our business, and it has nothing to do with you. I would advise you to leave soon. Once caught, no one will be able to save you."

"Heh..." Jin Ziyuan scoffed coldly, "From your tone, it sounds like you care about me." He looked at Jin Zijin impassively, then suddenly, as if an idea struck him, he laughed again, "It seems like you would be one of the people trying to catch me, wouldn’t you? Changed your mind?"

"I have no need to make a move to catch you; I just pity you."

"Pity me?" Jin Ziyuan laughed as if he had heard the joke of the century, his suppressed laughter especially grating in the dead silence of the night.

"Don’t think you are much better off than I am. That year, during the family uprising, it wasn’t only the three King’s families that had been cast down from heaven to earth. I wonder which family you belong to, my dear cousin!"

Jin Zijin responded coolly, "Which family I belong to is none of your concern. As for Youyou... you needn’t look for her anymore. She won’t provide you with any more pills."
