Yun Mengyan was suddenly kicked. She lost her balance and fell face-first to the ground.
Ye Yining nodded in satisfaction. She had controlled her strength very well!
If he were to rub her face, she would lose a few layers of skin!
The Third Prince turned around in a daze and looked at Ye Yining in disbelief.
She actually dared to kick Yun Mengyan?
Shen Yaozhi was also shocked. She reflexively tightened her legs, covered her butt, and moved towards the Third Prince.
This Ye Yining was so scary. She attacked without saying a word.
Yun Mengyan, who was caught off guard by the kick, only regained her senses after a long while. After she got up from the ground, she pounced towards Ye Yining with fiery eyes.
"How dare you? How dare you? B*tch…"
Ye Yining waved her hand and a soft whip appeared in her hand.
When Yun Mengyan saw the whip in Ye Yining's hand, she couldn't help but take a few steps back.
The Third Prince, who had just regained his senses, quickly steadied Yun Mengyan and opened his mouth to teach Ye Yining a lesson.
"Ye Yining, you've gone too far. You…"
Before he could finish his words, Ye Yining cut him off sharply.
"What? What was the relationship between this shameless woman and the Third Prince? How dare you seduce my man in front of me?"
The Third Prince was instantly speechless.
Ye Yining's fiery temper was really hard to describe in a few words. She refused to take any losses.
Jun Jiuji's lips curled up when Little Ye Yining said "My man."
However, when his gaze swept over the Third Prince, it was so cold that it made people doubt their lives.
"My Little Ye Yining is still too soft-hearted. Next time Third Imperial Brother lets this woman appear in front of me, it's hard to say whether she'll be dead or alive."
The Third Prince was angry. He wanted to explain, but he was in no position to.
He couldn't ignore Yun Mengyan, this flirtatious woman who didn't care about the situation. He could only take her away with a dark expression.
However, Yun Mengyan was thinking that she must find a chance to get back at Ye Yining and kill her…
When they were far away, Ye Yining's gaze fell on Jun Jiuji. Her voice was muffled.
"When did you get poisoned?"
She had always known that he was weak and sickly when he used a different identity, but she had never heard of him being poisoned.
Jun Jiuji didn't intend to say anything more. He held the little girl in his arms and changed the topic to divert her attention.
"I've been fine since I was young. Little Ning 'er, do you want to go shopping? As the only city ruled by the four countries, Cloud Border City is lively and prosperous. It sells everything…"
Ye Ze silently closed the door for his master.
With the Princess Consort around, Master's mood was good.
If one's mood was good, the cold poison wouldn't act up easily.
He only hoped that the Princess Consort would continue to be like this, protecting the master and not making the master angry!
…
The next day.
Ye Yining went shopping with Jun Jiuji early in the morning.
There were still two days before the first auction of the rare treasures of the four countries in Cloud Border City began, but merchants and guests from all over the world had already crowded the streets and alleys.
Ye Yining also started her buying.
She bought several boxes of animal fur from Western Liang.
She had also bought a lot of the Nanyin Nation's pearl jadeite.
What she bought the most was East Chu's natural silk.
Although she had money, Jun Jiuji would always be the one to pay up in the end.
It felt good to be pampered, so she basically bought whatever she saw and spent her money like water.
However, the man beside her didn't even blink.
At noon, Ye Yining was looking for a place to rest when she suddenly heard someone knocking on a gong and shouting.
"Those who passed by, those who passed by, take a look! There are high-quality goods here!"
Ye Yining couldn't help but stop in her tracks.
She looked up and her eyelids twitched.
The superior goods were slaves locked in two huge iron cages.
There were both men and women in the cage. Each of them had chains tied around their necks, looking like livestock waiting to be dealt with.
Before Ye Yining could come back to her senses, she heard the person who struck the gong shout again.
"The slaves are sold at a low price, 100 taels each."
Jun Jiuji saw Ye Yining's uncomfortable expression and immediately diverted her attention,
"Ye Yining, do you still want to go to the teahouse?"
Ye Yining nodded.
"Yes."
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a thin man in the iron cage suddenly broke the chain on his body and shouted at the crowd.
"Whoever lends me a hundred and lets me leave for three months, I will repay you with my life in the future."
When the person who struck the gong heard this, he sneered.
"Do you think everyone is stupid? Give up! Although we lowered the price today, do you think shouting would make anyone lend you a hundred teals and even let you leave for three months? You're dreaming!"
The people around them were also pointing and discussing, thinking that this was a joke.
Ye Yining looked curiously at the man.
She didn't know why, but when she looked into that person's eyes, she felt that he shouldn't have stayed in the iron cage. There was still light in his eyes. There was unwillingness, pain, and a little despair.
It was just like her in her previous life when her family was broken.
At the thought of this, she suddenly said,
"I'll lend you a hundred taels!"
As soon as she said this, everyone looked at her.
The person who struck the gong was also shocked, but he reacted quickly and immediately walked towards Ye Yining.
"Miss, did I hear wrongly? You want to lend him a hundred taels? What he meant was to tear up the slave contract and leave. But if he runs away, your hundred taels will be wasted."
Ye Yining didn't say much. She took out a hundred silver and handed it to him.
The person who knocked on the gong took the silver note and glanced at Ye Yining. Then he raised his hand and asked the people guarding the iron cage to let him go.
"Kid, you're lucky! I met a benefactor today."
When the others in the cage saw that someone was really willing to pay a hundred taels to let him go, they all became excited.
"Miss, please buy me! I'll do anything for you..."
"Miss, I can guard the house for you. Why don't you buy me?"
Although Ye Yining couldn't bear it, she wasn't a good person. She didn't respond.
When the man in the cage was released, she destroyed the slave contract and left with Jun Jiuji.
When the man saw Ye Yining leave, he quickly called out to her,
"Miss, don't worry. I'll be back in three months."
Ye Yining didn't turn her head but looked sideways at Jun Jiuji.
Jun Jiuji raised his hand and gently tapped her head.
"Are you sympathizing with that person?"
Ye Yining smiled and shook her head.
"It's not sympathy. I just feel that that person still has some strength of character and is not someone who will easily yield. It would be a pity for such a person to become a slave."
Ye Ze and Hoshino, who were following behind, heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Princess Consort didn't act out of kindness and bought a large group of people.
One had to know that in such a crowd, it was actually the easiest for spies from the four countries to sneak in.
Among those people, there might be people who were deliberately arranged by others.
Ye Yining didn't care if the man came back or not, but when she arrived at the teahouse, she unexpectedly received a hundred merit points.
She thought to herself that a person who knew how to be grateful shouldn't be too bad.
After sitting in the teahouse for a while and eating something, Ye Yining suddenly felt a little sleepy.
She came out too early in the morning and was tired from shopping.
Jun Jiuji chuckled and pulled her to his side.
"Do you want to go back to sleep?"
"Yes."
Ye Yining covered her mouth and yawned. She turned around and gave Yunlai a bunch of silver notes, asking her to go out and buy medicinal herbs and medicinal seeds.
Yunlai didn't know why Miss was so obsessed with medicinal herbs, but she knew how to buy them.
After Yunlai left, Ye Yining followed Jun Jiuji back to the inn.
As soon as the two of them left, someone ran to the restaurant next door to report,
"Miss, Jun Jiuji and Ye Yining have already returned to the inn."
