Chapter 207: The Second Brother's Pain

this, Jun Liye's smile softened slightly. His eyes sank a little, and he glanced at the old man calmly. Although he always said that the old man was putting on a show, he never doubted his words in hi...Her round eyes rolled, and Su Qingying asked again, "I wonder which prince she is marrying this time Could it be the Prince of Nanjiang"

As far as she knew, that scum Zhao Tianqi seemed to have been brutally disabled by Ari. He was bedridden for the rest of his life, and what he had between his legs had been cut off and fed to a dog. How could he possibly get married

"That's definitely not Prince Charming. It is said that ever since Prince Charming returned to the country, he suddenly became paralyzed and had to stay in bed all day long. There's no way it could be him." When talking about Zhao Tianqi's situation, Xiao Er also sighed with a shake of his head.

"Who is that" After taking a few sips of fine wine, Zhao Tianyu raised his head and glanced at him, feeling a surge of interest.

Seeing all three looking at him with such excitement, Xiao Er suddenly felt a surge of pride. Rubbing his hands together, he said mysteriously, "Hee hee, it's none other than our Southern Border Region's literary and martial arts master, the dashing and suave Second Prince!"

"Pfft—" At this, Zhao Tianyu's eye twitched uncontrollably. He couldn't hold back and choked out a mouthful of wine.

Choked by the alcohol, he finally managed to clear his throat. His face flushed red as he widened his eyes, “Cough cough, you, you said what The second prince!”

"Yeah." The waiter nodded.

"Alright, we all know that, Little Second Brother. This is your reward money. Go about your business now." Having said that, Su Qingying unceremoniously took out a silver note from Shangguan Jinghong's arms and shoved it into her own pocket under the wide-eyed gaze of the waiter. Then, she took out several copper coins and placed them in front of the waiter with a generous air, though there was a hint of pain in her eyes.

" ..." The young waiter's face went blank for a moment, his eyes glazed over.

Two copper coins, teasing him!

"Alright, if you need anything else, just call me." However, seeing that Su Qingying was a stunning beauty, the waiter quickly composed himself. Determined not to embarrass the goddess, he swiftly tucked the two copper coins into his money bag and then retreated with utmost respect.

Zhao Tianyu smacked his lips, looking down on him, “Two copper coins You dare to take them out Your love of money hasn't changed at all.” And it was even exchanged for someone else's silver note!

"Hmph, that little waiter isn't much better than me. He practically threw the money at me like he was afraid I'd change my mind." Su Qingying scoffed, unconcerned.

“......” Just as the second young master had reached the foot of the stairs, he heard this and his legs went weak under him. He almost tripped and rolled down the stairs.

Xiao Er was on the verge of tears, muttering angrily in his heart. Who knew, he heard Su Qingying's melodious voice drift over softly, "Alas, two copper coins were indeed too much. I should have only given one. My heart aches."

Everyone's lips twitched, a bead of sweat dripping down the back of their head: "...".

Doesn't your conscience hurt at all!

After the pain subsided, Su Qingying finally got back to the point. She rested her chin in one hand and picked up her chopsticks to stir the tea she had earlier. Her brow furrowed slightly, a puzzled expression on her pretty face. "That's strange. Didn't Rong Fei return to Ximing How come she suddenly wants to marry into Nanjiang"

"She dared to marry someone else!" Shangguan Jinghong's temples throbbed with anger, his teeth clenched tightly, his fury erupting.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingying tilted her head and looked at him, her dark phoenix eyes curving into a pair of crescent moons, and she laughed with schadenfreude, "Eh Shangguan Saobao, you don't like Rong Fei, do you Why are you so angry"

Gazing at her gleeful and uninvolved expression, Shangguan Jinghong's handsome face darkened. His mouth twitched, and he glared at her silently, "Little girl, didn't you know the answer already Why ask knowing full well"

"Oh, well. If only I had known this day would come, why did I let you do it in the first place Now look, your wife is going to marry someone else! How pitiful," Su Qingying sighed with feigned sympathy. But the smile on her delicate face was anything but genuine; it looked like she was about to whistle and clap her hands.

“...." Among the onlookers, Zhao Tianyu felt quite sympathetic towards him and silently lit a candle for him in his heart.

Su Qingying's words were like arrows, piercing Shangguan Jinghong's heart one by one. Shangguan Jinghong was so angry that he almost spat blood, and said angrily: "… Girl, we are on the same side after all, you are too unkind to ridicule me like this!"

A lazy smile played on the corner of Su Qingying's lips. She leaned forward slightly and, with kindness in her tone, advised, "Shangguan Shao, for our friendship, let me give you some advice: when a flower is blooming, pick it before it wilts. Don't wait until there are no flowers left to regret not picking them earlier. Rong Fei is a good girl, don't miss this chance, or you'll definitely regret it for the rest of your life!"

"Why should I suffer for a lifetime This palace already regrets it terribly!" Shangguan Jinghong felt suffocated with regret. He thought that as long as this girl wasn't around him, over time he could forget her. But unexpectedly, with her departure, he couldn't help but think about her all the time.

When he heard that she was to be married to that wretched second prince as a representative of Ximing, he even felt murderous.

It wasn't until this moment that he truly realized, to his own astonishment, that he had fallen deeply in love with her without even realizing it.

What a pointless meeting if we'll never see each other again Go to hell!

Moreover, in a way, she was already his Shangguan Jinghong's woman! He couldn't allow that girl to marry another man!

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Tianyu battled with himself for a moment before putting down his chopsticks and nervously interrupting their conversation. "That..."

"Damn it! The Second Prince of Nanjiang!" Just as he was about to speak, Shangguan Jinghong, whose anger was growing with each thought, cut him off with a gritted teeth.

"Uh, a giant drop of sweat slid down the back of his neck, Zhao Tianyu became even more nervous, "Actually I..."

"This palace truly wants to castrate him immediately!" With fury, she slammed her fist on the table, causing the cups, bowls, and teacups upon it to tremble violently. A deep murderous intent flashed across Shangguan Jinghong's charming yet sinister face, and the coldness in his eyes sent chills down one's spine.

"..." Hearing this, Zhao Tianyu's liver trembled, and he subconsciously clenched his legs. Suddenly, he felt a dull ache in his lower abdomen.

Oh my god, this misunderstanding is getting out of hand. Forget it, for the little brother's safety, he'd better stay quiet for now.

"Huh Tianyu, what were you trying to say just now" Noticing Zhao Tianyu's hesitation, Su Qingying turned her eyes to him with a hint of curiosity.

As soon as this was said, Shangguan Jinghong also looked over without changing his expression.

A glance from Shangguan Jinghong caught Zhao Tianyu's eye, and he swallowed nervously. He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he felt her gaze sweep over him suggestively, his legs crossed tightly together. He picked up his chopsticks and buried himself in a bowl of white rice, "Um, nothing, the food will get cold, better eat while it's hot."

With his head bowed, Zhao Tianyu silently cursed the emperor hundreds of times while eating.

It was night, the darkness descended, and the stars gradually became faint.

Taking advantage of Shangguan Jinghong and Su Qingying's slumber, Zhao Tianyu changed into a nightgown and quietly left the inn through the window, heading straight for the palace.furious that his silver teeth almost shattered."Princess, the cumin and five-spice powder are here. We can grill the fish now." Just as she was about to leave, Xi'er's voice cheerfully interrupted. I...
