After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Chapter 169 Let Jade

Because of a slight anger, Murong Yanhui's eyebrows were slightly raised, as delicate as feathers, and the curve of his lips was beautiful, with a hint of mocking smile, as if carefully painted by the hand of God. However, when these unparalleled beauties quietly turned under the pair of thick and long eyelashes, only the black jade-like brilliance of his eyes remained in the world.

At this moment, his aura was so powerful that people couldn't help but think of the early winter wind blowing up snow foam, drifting across a white plum forest on the shore, plum blossoms like broken snow and plum blossom-like broken snow, and then passing through a blue ice lake, and shattered in his flying clothes.

The immortals in the mountains and the hermits in the forest are not tainted by the slightest bit of smoke and dust, just like gods who have lived in the clouds for a long time.

At this time, the man stood in front of her like a jade tree, but his eyes were indifferent, and seemed to fall on her vaguely, but never really focused on her. This discovery made Yu Zhenzhen very depressed.

Why would such a peerlessly handsome man turn a blind eye to his appearance, which he is always proud of?

Yu Zhenzhen's gaze fell on Yu Qingli. Thinking of Murong Yanhui's gentleness towards Yu Qingli just now, she became more and more irritated.

Yu Qingli was dressed as a man, and Yu Zhenzhen was no fool, so she could naturally see it. Because of this, Yu Zhenzhen couldn't help but look at Yu Qingli twice more, and the jealousy in her eyes was not concealed at all. Yu Qingli quickly noticed it, but only gave Yu Zhenzhen an extremely indifferent smile in return.

If Murong Yanhui's indifferent look only made Yu Zhenzhen feel frustrated, then Yu Qingli's indifferent look made her feel humiliated. This was a woman's contempt for another woman. What made Yu Zhenzhen jealous the most was that although Yu Qingli's appearance was not particularly beautiful, her elegant temperament was something she could never learn.

In just a few moments, Yu Zhenzhen's emotions had already fluctuated several times.

Murong Yanhui, however, was not in such a good mood to spend time with her. He could not help but say, "The Prime Minister's daughter, right? Your maid is very eloquent. Are you a mute?"

"How dare you!" The maid said angrily with two bloodstains hanging from her nose. However, her funny look made Murong Yan laugh back.

"So what if I'm so insolent?" Murong Yanhui crossed his arms and smiled coldly.

"You will soon know the consequences of your insolence. You have offended the Prime Minister's Mansion. Do you think you can survive?" The maid continued to move out of the Prime Minister's Mansion viciously.

Murong Yanhui had never seen such an idiotic servant, who used his master's name as a signboard and paraded around in public. Wasn't this an intentional attempt to destroy Yu Zhengsha?

"Oh my, I'm so scared. Just because I bought the warm jade and you didn't, you want me to pay with my life?" Murong Yanhui patted his chest exaggeratedly, and his smile became more contemptuous.

Looking at Murong Yanhui's arrogant attitude and lively expression, Yu Zhenzhen was more and more impressed by his magnanimity. She bit her lower lip tightly and hesitated in her heart. She felt that such a man was really rare, but... Yu Zhenzhen looked up at all the jade pendants on Murong Yanhui's body. Although they were all precious, none of them belonged to princes and nobles. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was not a short-sighted woman. She was going to marry the prince and become the prince's consort in the future. A man from an ordinary family like this, no matter how outstanding he was, was not worthy of her.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhenzhen immediately calmed down.

She looked at Murong Yanhui with her eyes full of autumn water, and sighed again in her heart, after all, he was not worthy of her.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhenzhen's heart suddenly became clear.

She smiled slightly, walked up to Murong Yanhui, looked up at Murong Yanhui, and was once again conquered by his handsomeness.

Yu Zhenzhen looked at Murong Yanhui, and suddenly she couldn't say a word of the words she wanted to make trouble for him. She just felt that if she was arrogant in front of such a man, she would really lose her value. She also felt that she couldn't leave a bad impression on Murong Yanhui. Yu Zhenzhen herself couldn't figure out why, and she didn't intend to figure it out.

"I'm a naive maid, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sir." Yu Zhenzhen said these words in what she thought was the softest voice, and bowed slightly to Murong Yanhui in what she thought was the most graceful posture, then looked up at Murong Yanhui.

Seeing this, Murong Yanhui didn't know what the master and servant were going to do. His expression remained calm, and he only frowned slightly.

"Why don't you come over and apologize to the young master?" Yu Zhenzhen turned around and ordered the maid. The maid opened her eyes wide, not understanding what was going on. Why did the young lady suddenly change her temper?

The maid was in a daze, motionless. Murong Yanhui smiled again and said, "So you and your servant are both intermittently deaf and dumb? Sometimes the young lady is mute, and sometimes the maid is deaf."

The onlookers couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

Yu Zhenzhen couldn't hold back her pride and yelled angrily, "What are you still standing there for? Come over here and apologize! You've always been so arrogant and arrogant under the guise of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If I don't teach you a lesson today, people will think that my Prime Minister's Mansion is truly lawless!"

The maid glanced at Yu Zhenzhen with a feeling of grievance, and had no choice but to walk over to Murong Yanhui. However, she was used to being arrogant and domineering, and had never suffered such an injustice before. She couldn't help but say, "Miss, he stole your warm jade hand warmer."

"How dare you!" Yu Zhenzhen glared at the maid and slapped her on the cheek.

The maid fell to the side, covering half of her face with her hand, and finally couldn't help crying, "Miss, you really blamed me wrongly. It was these two people who deliberately raised the price and stole your warm jade hand warmer for three thousand taels of silver!"

Murong Yanhui sneered and said, "Three thousand taels of silver goes to the highest bidder. Your young lady couldn't even buy that warm jade hand warmer, so how dare you accuse us of stealing it? Girl, are you illiterate? Do you want me... to hire a teacher to explain our dynasty's laws to you?"

Everyone laughed again, this time much louder.

Yu Zhenzhen originally wanted to be magnanimous and give up the warm jade hand warmer to leave a good impression on Murong Yanhui. Who would have thought that this maid didn't know how to read the other person's expression and was so stubborn that she wanted to take the warm jade back, making her look so ugly in front of everyone!

Yu Zhenzhen immediately began to resent the maid and said coldly, "Young Master, you are absolutely right. It is my fault that such a wicked slave has appeared in my house."

Murong Yanhui nodded and said, "It would be best if you knew, Miss. The Prime Minister is not the only one in power in the Imperial Capital."

When Murong Yanhui spoke, he had an air of looking down on the world, which made people feel awe.

Yu Zhenzhen looked at Murong Yanhui again, and a slight ripple seemed to arise in her heart.

Yu Zhenzhen bowed slightly to Murong Yanhui, then nodded gently to Yu Qingli, "Thank you for your teachings, sir."

Yu Zhenzhen said, pulling out three thousand taels of silver from her sleeve and handing it over. "I'm going to give that warm jade lunch box to you, Master. Thank you for your generosity, Master."

Murong Yanhui's eyes fell lightly on the three thousand taels of silver note, and he stood with his hands behind his back, "No need, I can still afford this small amount of money."

Yu Zhenzhen's hand, which was halfway outstretched, suddenly froze there, unable to extend it further or retract it.

Seeing this, Yu Qingli wondered if this banknote could hold any clues to the woman's identity. She stood up, walked over, took the banknote, and said, "Thank you very much, Miss."

Yu Qingli relieved Yu Zhenzhen's embarrassment, and this time she smiled at Yu Qingli sincerely.

Murong Yanhui looked down at Yu Qingli and couldn't help but whisper, "What are you doing? Can't I even afford three thousand taels of silver?"

Yu Qingli put the banknote away without even looking up. "Of course you can afford it, but if someone gives us money, there's no reason for us to refuse."

Yu Qingli's subconscious words of "we" immediately soothed Murong Yanhui's heart. He felt comfortable all over and couldn't help but laugh: "That's right, three thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Since there is a big sucker, why not do it?"

Yu Qingli nodded, and took out another three thousand taels of silver and stuffed it into Murong Yanhui's hand. "I don't want to owe you a favor, so I'll return the three thousand taels of silver to you."

Murong Yanhui immediately frowned, "I don't want it. That warm jade hand warmer is a gift from me to you."

"No reward without merit, I don't want it." Yu Qingli immediately retorted.

Murong Yanhui was unhappy and stuffed the banknote into Yu Qingli's hand, saying loudly: "I said I would give it to you, so I will give it to you! Why are you dithering?"

Everyone had seen the two people whispering to each other, and they didn't expect that it was about giving the jade and not wanting the jade. Seeing the three thousand taels of silver notes being stuffed into each other's hands by Murong Yanhui and Yu Qingli, and finally being torn in half with a tearing sound, many people seemed to hear the sound of tearing in their hearts, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Murong Yan looked back at the half-broken banknote in her hand and couldn't help but say, "Take this banknote. If you don't want it, I'll smash the warm jade!"

Murong Yan replied, and seeing Yu Qingli's expression slightly changed, she lowered her voice and said, "I bought it anyway."

Yu Zhenzhen stood aside and watched, and suddenly became curious about the identities of Murong Yanhui and Yu Qingli. They did not seem to be faking it, but really did not care about the three thousand taels of silver.

Although there are many princes and nobles in the imperial capital, there are only a handful of them who really don't care about three thousand taels.

Yu Zhenzhen thought about it and stood there without leaving.

The atmosphere suddenly became cold because of Yu Qingli. Although there were more than a hundred people gathered around, there was no sound at all.

Murong Yan stared at Yu Qingli, and stubbornly wanted to hand the half of the banknote in his hand to her, but Yu Qingli obviously didn't want it. Everyone watched the developments with bated breath. Only the maid was full of grievances, covering half of her swollen face and twitching constantly.

Just when it seemed like there was no solution, a gentle voice suddenly came from outside the crowd.

"The young prince always loves to join in the fun. As long as you go to a crowded place, you will definitely find him!" The voice was like a spring breeze blowing through everyone's ears, making people want to see who that person is.

Yu Qingli's expression suddenly changed, and she stopped arguing with Murong Yanhui with a gloomy look.
