Chapter 217 The Fate of the Scoundrel
Meng also knelt on the ground, trembling as she begged for mercy: "Young Master Feng... I was wrong, I shouldn't have been bewitched."
Dongfang Jin looked coldly at them and said in a flat tone, "You should all leave. Go back to where you came from."
As for what you did, we neither saw nor knew of the existence of these things.
As for who your master is, we don't know, and we have no desire to presume to be his master.
Commander Feng, I think Gu Chenglin made it very clear to you back then that everything in the capital has nothing to do with our family.
Although we grew up in the countryside, we don't care for your things. All four of us in the family are physically healthy and not mentally challenged.
We'll earn our own inheritance; we'll feel at ease holding onto it and sleeping soundly.
Gu Jingye stood on the kang (a heated brick bed) with a cold face, looking at them: "My stepmother is right. We have hands and feet, and we can earn money ourselves. We don't care about what you're giving us. You can leave now."
Cangying's gaze was like lightning. He glanced at the little boy and saw that his spine was straight and his resolute appearance showed some of the air of a military general.
The aura emanating from him just now was almost identical to theirs.
Is it...
Looking at Xiang Dongfang Jin again, the corners of his mouth turned up, it seemed that this was at His Majesty's behest.
So now it seems that this Dongfang Jin is their young master's younger sister, Princess Jin.
It seems we need to find other things to prove the young princess's identity quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to recognize her.
This girl is registered with His Majesty and the Imperial Tutor. The young master is right; if they were to recognize each other rashly, it would arouse His Majesty's suspicion.
No one knew that what they were searching for was in the Ruyi Space.
Those items were among the things Dongfang Jin took from the basement of the fake Zheng Lu Nian's courtyard.
It's just that even Dongfang Jin didn't know that.
……
Zhao Yuming also glanced at Gu Jingye, and seeing that he was safe and sound, he didn't ask any more questions.
He had already heard that Gu Chenglin's son was missing, and immediately notified the secret service. Just then, Feng arrived today, saying that the Duke of Ningguo was delivering holiday gifts to Gu Chenglin.
He originally wanted to find Chen Jizhou to help him look for people, since he had lived in Ling'an County for five years and was more familiar with some places than they were. He didn't expect that as soon as they arrived, they would hear the Chen couple acting like this.
Seriously, this person has forgotten his place and grown too big for his britches.
She coldly surveyed the surroundings, staring at the Chen couple. "This servant is bullying her master!" she thought. "So, isn't this Meng Shi just relying on the fact that she was once the maid of the former Duchess of Rongguo?"
Zhao Yuming chuckled coldly: "Just sell Feng directly."
Feng looked at Dongfang Jin. Although he didn't know how she had managed to make her face look like that, he waited for her to say something.
The old master said that even if the second young master returned the things, they would still be his; they were property given to him solely by his mother.
The old master understood the second young master's thoughts, but he was afraid that even the young duke and the princess wouldn't be interested in these things.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Dongfang Jin squinted at the man looking at her. The man was dressed in a dark gray robe, with long black hair casually draped over his shoulders. He had delicate features, a high nose bridge, and a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, carrying a faint smile.
“Jin’er, what do you think? With just one word from you, even if this servant saved my master, we will not tolerate him for doing such a thing.”
Dongfang Jin sneered: "Don't try to trap me. As for me, I'll say it again: I'll go back to where I came from."
Let me give you a piece of advice: you'd better not take it upon yourself to send people or things to my family in the future.
My family is just a bunch of farmers who toil in the fields for a living; we're not fortunate enough to enjoy such treatment.
Ha! If she cared about them, would she send things to a servant?
They're not not there. Even if they don't give it to her, isn't Gu Jingye still at home?
This shows how much they are looked down upon.
As Zhao Yuming approached, he finally saw Dongfang Jin's appearance clearly. His body stiffened, and a storm raged in his deep eyes. It was so similar, so incredibly similar.
Even though he had something on his face, it couldn't escape his eyes. No wonder Cang Lingchen asked him if he felt a sense of familiarity.
No wonder... It seems he still needs to go to the Fang family for a proper interrogation.
“Just sell them off directly. Feng, if you can’t talk to your old master about it, just push this onto me.”
Chen Jizhou glared angrily at Zhao Yuming: "You, who do you think you are? It was you who caused me to fall from a shopkeeper to a doorman.
Zhao Yuming's smile was as fake as if he were wearing a mask. He exuded an imposing aura and said sharply, "Oh, you hate me so much, then why should I hide anything from you?"
You've been the manager of Jinyulou for five years. Don't you know how much you've taken from Jinyulou during those five years?
Why did your master send me here? Do you really think your master is a fool? Or do you think Jin Yu Lou is the only restaurant in Donglin?
Ruyi shouted in the space, "[This is the aura of a Martial Grandmaster! Sister Jin, this person is no ordinary person; there's something wrong with his eyes.]"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jin couldn't help but look at Zhao Yuming. "Oh, what's the problem? I didn't see it coming."
"Well, how should I put it? It's like... perspective. No, it's not quite like that, it's more advanced than perspective, like it can distinguish between reality and illusion. Yes, that's it."
Listening to Ruyi's nonsensical analogy, Dongfang Jin suddenly thought of a TV series, "The Golden Eyes?"
【what is that? 】
[Check your computer's bookmarks when you have time; there's a TV series there with a description.]
Feng stood there, stunned, looking at this and that, then surveying the room once more before finally fixing his gaze on Chen Jizhou's undergarment.
He stepped forward and quickly ripped open Chen Jizhou's clothes, revealing a silk undergarment: "Heh, I was going to give you a chance, but I didn't expect you to really push your luck."
We already remembered your merit in saving the Lord, but we never expected you to be so stubborn and shameless even after arriving here.
"Does the young master think he can rely on a mere servant like you when he gets home? Aren't you overestimating yourself?"
The young master is not what they initially thought; now his wife, Dongfang Jin, has caught His Majesty's eye.
Heh, the fabric that the two of them are wearing was given to the second young master by the old master. I never expected him to dare...
"And you, Meng, your son has really made himself look like a master."
"At your age, you still don't understand why your young lady didn't take you with her when she married. You're such a presumptuous person."
Zhao Yuming was too lazy to argue with them: "Just sell them off! I'll report the situation here to your master in detail when I get back."
Kazami Dongfang Jin remained silent, this time saying nothing. He slapped the door twice, and two men in black appeared in the room like ghosts: "Poisonous Mute, sell him to a brokerage."
"He is the commander."
Dongfang Jin: "..." That's ruthless!
Only then did they realize that these people were calling the gray-robed man "commander".
Hearing Chen Jizhou and Meng Shi's constant pleas for mercy, Dongfang Jin felt no sympathy for them.
After they were gagged and taken out of the house, Dongfang Jin finally took a good look at Zhao Yuming.
Because Ruyi just said that one of the people watching her from the shadows in Jinyulou was this man.
His demeanor was elegant, revealing a mysterious and captivating charm.
This intangible nobility and elegance makes one unable to help but be captivated by his temperament; he is truly a handsome man.
The manager of Jin Yu Lou?
What about the liar?
With a cold expression, Gu Jingye pulled Dongfang Jin aside and suppressed his displeasure, calling out, "Little Mother."
Dongfang Jin looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong? Are you hungry? Come on, your mother will take you to eat."
Gu Jingye: "..."
Did he mean it?
He meant to say, "Young lady, is it alright for you to stare at a stranger like that?"
