Chapter 292: How Do You Want To Be Served
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ying pointed behind her. “The Empress rewarded us with two free laborers.”
Xiao Jin frowned slightly. These two couldn’t possibly be maidservants given their attire and bearing.
“You accepted them just because she gave you?” His voice carried a tinge of displeasure.
Su Ying glanced at him, her eyes seemingly implying, “Do you think I’m stupid?”
Xiao Jin’s furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
“I asked the Empress to give me the money for their living expenses and sign a disclaimer before bringing them back.” Su Ying took out the items and showed them to Xiao Jin.
When Xiao Jin saw them, his brows twitched violently. He said with a serious expression, “Do you know why the Empress gave you these two people?”
Su Ying nodded. “She said they are here to serve you.”
“Do you know how they are supposed to serve me?”
When the two young women saw the tall and handsome Xiao Jin, their hearts began thumping wildly. Then when they heard him ask such a question, their faces turned even redder.
How were they going to serve him?
“How do you want to be served?” Su Ying narrowed her eyes.
This reply amused Xiao Jin greatly.
“When it is cold in winter, they can also be used to warm the bed.”
The two young women were so embarrassed that they were about to die, but their hearts were filled with anticipation!
Warm the bed.
Su Ying turned around to look at the two of them and understood then. She had only thought that these two were sent by the Empress to be her eyes, but she didn’t realize the function of these eyes to be so special.
All of a sudden, Su Ying was a little displeased.
“You want them to warm your bed?”
“No, 1 just want you to warm my bed,” Xiao Jin said with a straight face.
“Get lost.”
The two young women stared at the ferocious-looking Su Ying in shock.
Her Highness dared to speak to His Highness in this manner?
This was simply downright disrespectful!
However, the strange thing was that His Highness didn’t seem angry at all. In fact… he seemed a little happy?
The two noble ladies felt that this couple was not quite normal.
After Aunt Zhao found out that the Empress had bestowed two noble ladies to Su Ying, she reacted as if she was facing a great enemy. She immediately arranged for them to stay in a guest room in the most remote corner and refused to let them go near Xiao Jin.
After Xiao Jin returned to his courtyard at night, Aunt Zhao pulled Su Ying aside with a stern expression and said, “Your Highness, it’s better to send those two away as soon as possible.”
Su Ying was puzzled. “The Empress paid for them.”
Aunt Zhao was speechless. Was this just a matter of a few hundred taels of silver?
“Your Highness, those are beauties the Empress gave to His Highness. They are here to seduce His Highness!” Aunt Zhao tried her best to explain things as point-blank as possible. Her Highness should feel a sense of crisis!
After all, which scumbag men did not like fair skin, beautiful faces, and soft, tender bodies!
“Seduce Xiao Jin?”
Aunt Zhao nodded vehemently. “That’s right. Your Highness, you must find a way to kick them out!”
Su Ying frowned. “How?”
Aunt Zhao puffed out her chest. “There’s no need for Your Highness to worry about such a small matter. This old servant here will do her best to not let them get close to His Highness at all.”
Su Ying thought that if Aunt Zhao really kicked these two out, the Empress couldn’t possibly come and ask her to return those few hundred taels of silver. “If Xiao Jin really likes them…”
“No! His Highness doesn’t like them!” Aunt Zhao interrupted Su Ying with certainty.
Su Ying looked at Aunt Zhao in surprise. She felt that Aunt Zhao’s reaction was really not in line with the education the latter had received since she was young.
If it were in the past, Aunt Zhao would never have such thoughts, believing that His Highness could only have the Princess Consort alone!
However, after staying in the northern wilderness for so long, she felt that His Highness could only belong to Princess Consort Qi. No one could snatch him away!
That night, after Su Ying coaxed the two little ones to sleep, she heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
She thought it was Bai Shuang who had brought her supper, so she got up and sat down at the table. To her surprise, it was Xiao Jin who came in.
He was dressed in his inner clothes, and his dark hair was draped over his shoulders. His hair was even softer than hers. “What are you doing here in the middle of the night?”
Xiao Jin walked to Su Ying’s side and sat down. He let out a soft sigh, and there was a hint of depression between his brows. “The ways of the capital are complicated. I can’t sleep every time 1 think about this.”
Su Ying knew that he had already taken up the post of deputy commander of the Imperial Guards today, so she assumed that he had run into some trouble while at work.
“What’s wrong? Is there anyone who isn’t submitting to your authority?”
“There are naturally many people who are not submitting to me. It’s cold to sit here. Lie on the bed and I’ll tell you slowly.”
Xiao Jin stood up and walked nonchalantly toward the bed.
Su Ying narrowed her eyes.
The next moment, Xiao Jin was pushed out of the door.
Bang!
The door was closed mercilessly.
“Xiao Jin, save it!”
Xiao Jin rubbed his nose and turned around to meet Aunt Zhao’s sympathetic gaze.
“I was just going to see if the Young Prince and Young Princess were asleep.”
Aunt Zhao nodded. “It’s alright, Your Highness. Princess Consort Qi is a little slow in this aspect. Your Highness, don’t give up.”
Xiao Jin felt that he no longer had any dignity left.
The next day, Su Ying woke up early.
That was because today was the day she had to go to the Prime Minister’s Residence to collect the dowry.
Su Ying packed up and left the house.
When she arrived at the Prime Minister’s Residence, the guards of the Prime Minister’s Residence immediately stopped her.
“Your Highness, please wait a moment. Allow me to enter the residence and inform the masters.”
Su Ying didn’t make things difficult for him and allowed him to go.
However, no one came out after that fellow went in for almost an hour.
Su Ying gave a scornful sneer and barged in.
When they saw this, the guards quickly went forward to stop her. “Your Highness, please wait a moment…”
“Get lost!”
Su Ying kicked them aside and kicked open the door of the Prime Minister’s Residence.
“Your Highness, the Prime Minister has not woken up. Please wait a moment.”
“The stuff is not in his hands. I don’t care how long he sleeps. If you don’t want to die, get lost!”
The Prime Minister’s Residence had long since received orders from Su Yuyan to stop Su Ying when she arrived. Unless they had the Prime Minister’s permission, they were not to let Su Ying enter the premises.
Su Ying flexed the muscles in her arms, twisted her neck slightly, and threw a punch at the Prime Minister’s guard.
The guard’s body was sent flying in an instant.
The rest of the guards were all stunned by this sight and they stared at Su Ying in disbelief.
Wasn’t the Eldest Young Miss merely exiled? How did she become so powerful the moment she came back!
Su Ying would never give them an explanation.
She threw punches and kicks at the guards until Prime Minister Su arrived after receiving the news.
Prime Minister Su looked at the guards who had fallen to the ground and was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing. “Evil daughter, you evil daughter! Stop this at once!”
Su Ying threw the guard in her hand to the ground and raised her head to look at Prime Minister Su without any emotion.
He was wearing a household robe, and he hadn’t even had the time to tie his belt. It looked like he had come in a hurry.
Due to his anger, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes deepened. It had to be said that her cheapskate father’s appearance could still deceive people. His moon-white loose robe did not make him lose any ounce of his elegant bearing. At first glance, he was a good-looking and knowledgeable middle-aged man. Even though the traces of time were evident, his facial features were still handsome. One could imagine how handsome and dashing he was when he was young.
Back then, Madam Jiang would only marry him and no one else. This face of his should have contributed a lot.
Due to his fury, Prime Minister Su completely overlooked how Su Ying had knocked down all the guards in the courtyard.
“You evil daughter, what are you trying to do!”
