She returned to the palace, and without another word, she started packing. She stuffed all her valuable jewelry and clothes into the bag.
She slung the packed bag over her shoulder, which was so heavy that she almost staggered to the ground.
"Lady!"
Luckily, everyone was frightened and rushed to catch her.
Wei Yingying did not fall, but she was quite scared.
She looked around and headed quickly to the bed, retrieving a gold dal from inside it.
This was sothing she had recently requested from Ji Teng.
—"My husband, I want a Death Exemption Token."
Ji Teng frowned at the ti.
—"Yingying, what do you an by this? Do you not trust ? It’s true that most emperors in history are heartless, but I am not a foolish ruler, and we are even husband and wife."
What she wanted at that ti was not just protection.
Ji Teng did indeed treat her with consideration.
But she had never thought that Ji Teng would deceive her!
He loved acting so much! Pretending to be pitiful! Pretending to be poor! Who knows which words are true and which words are false!
Wei Yingying then packed up five more bags. And ordered them all to be moved out.
The servants in the palace dared not disobey.
Especially since today Wei Yingying was leaving the palace with the official’s personal approval. Perhaps these bags were ant as gifts for Miss Shen, who the Empress often ntioned.
The nanny, very astutely, arranged a carriage and asked in a low voice as she sent Wei Yingying away.
"What is wrong with the Lady? She seems very unhappy."
Initially, the palace maid accompanied Wei Yingying to the pear garden, but she did not hear the words shared between Shen Hua and Wei Yingying in the room. Upon hearing this, she couldn’t help her grievances.
"It’s all because of Minister Wei, I’ve never seen such a father; not just the Lady being upset, even I feel uncomfortable hearing it, ..."
Upon hearing this, the nanny pondered for a mont, gently watched the carriage leave, then her expression changed: "No, this matter must be reported to the official. The Lady should not have to endure such treatnt!"
However, Ji Teng was in the middle of a heated discussion with the courtiers, and the nanny could only anxiously wait outside.
anwhile, seeing people going back and forth perplexedly, Shen Hua was confused.
"Why have you co back again?"
Wei Yingying instructed to leave the bags behind and sent everyone back: "I am going to stay."
How old are you, still running away from ho?
Shen Hua was disdainful, but Yangyang was too lazy to speak.
Wei Yingying took out the gold dal, Shen Hua looked at it; it was very similar to the one Ji Huo had but hung with a dozen flashy golden beads, obviously intended for girls to play with.
Wei Yingying plucked off one bead: "For the food expenses."
She tore off another: "For the lodging expenses."
Shen Hua picked up a golden bead the size of a fingernail, heavy, and shined it against the bright light.
"You’re right."
Shen Hua advised against reconciliation: "Our girl is the most dignified, why bother arguing with those foolish n? It’s better to stay here and have so company. Surely no one dares to gossip."
"Since he is at fault, he should co and apologize to you. Wait until his sincerity is enough, then it’s not too late for you to leave."
"He has no ti! He’s even selecting concubines now!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Hua abruptly sat up straight, her excitent was rare: "Then he really deserves to die."
Luckily, Wei Yingying’s sadness only lasted a mont.
The dining from First-tier Sky, the embroidery from Yifeng Hall, and the liquor from Banxian Inn; the shopkeepers attended to her personally, with great eagerness.
She was healed.
Especially those shiny jewelry items, she couldn’t look away. The amount of Silver Coin she brought was plentiful, and she even began to adopt Shen Hua’s manner.
"This one, this one, and this one."
"Except for these three, I’ll take all of this row."
After buying the jewelry, Shen Hua set down her wine cup: "It’s ti for to listen to a little tune."
Wei Yingying: ...
How can you be so busy yet so nourished!
The girl turned her head and asked, "Which opera troupe is the best in Shengjing?"
"I don’t like opera, so I really wouldn’t know."
"Why listen to operas when you can read more storybooks. How did you find the one about Situ Leitian that I sent you last ti?"
Shen Hua, reserved and silent, could not disclose to Wei Yingying that she had already worn it out from frequent reading.
Seeing her like this, Wei Yingying felt quite regretful.
"That book was Ji Huo’s private collection. There is another volu in his room. I took one, and he was as stingy as if I had cut out a piece of his flesh. These days he’s been guarding like a thief, and there’s no chance to read it."
Shen Hua: "What’s so difficult about that?"
She laid her hand on Wei Yingying’s shoulder.
Soon, two more thieves were added to Ji Huo’s study.
It was Wei Yingying’s first ti doing such a thing, and she was very anxious: "If we take it and get caught, I’m afraid it won’t end well."
Ji Teng’s study was quite expansive, practically a small Book Collection Pavilion. The books inside, however, were not of serious variety.
Shen Hua: "Take one; he won’t notice."
Wei Yingying felt it made sense, and she put in considerable effort to find the next volu. Unseen by her, the girl seriously grabbed an inconspicuous book from the corner and casually hid it in her sleeve.
The girl’s gaze shifted and fell on the desk, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. Eventually, she couldn’t help but walk over there.
The study soon returned to tranquility.
Ji Huo arrived just a 15 minutes after they had left. He was eager to look at a risqué rare book he had recently purchased at a high price.
He walked to the corner. But it was empty.
Ji Huo was struck by lightning!!!
His world plunged into darkness in an instant.
His study was actually very ssy, all organized by himself; he knew the exact location of every book.
Ji Huo walked around angrily.
His Situ Leitian!! Was also gone.
Ji Huo knew without guessing that this must definitely be related to Wei Yingying! She had been coveting his books for a long ti!
Without another word, he went to find Ji Teng to discuss the matter, his face dark with anger.
anwhile, Ji Teng had just reprimanded a courtier and sent away Xie Xun, wearing a rare frown. Clearly, his focus was not on Wei Yingying leaving the palace.
"Did Minister Wei upset her?"
"Yes."
"Minister Wei said quite a few unpleasant things."
Ji Teng knew without guessing what Wei Han was plotting.
He slamd down the morial: "The Empress, I’ve never been willing to say a harsh word to her, yet he’s expert at this."
Wei Han rely had a good daughter, beyond that, there was nothing comndable about him. But such people lacked self-awareness and even aspired beyond their ans.
If he were a good father, Ji Teng might still respect him.
"Let him roll over here!"
Wei Han hadn’t arrived yet, but Ji Huo had already encountered Xie Xun on his way.
Xie Xun, ever the gentle gentleman: "What’s happening?"
Ji Huo slapped his thigh: "Can you believe it? Wei Yingying went to my study to steal books? If her man doesn’t give an explanation, I’ll just stay in the Imperial Palace and not leave!"
"Don’t get it wrong, the Empress may be misguided, but she is no saint on the beam."
"Who else could it be! Not a single one of Prince Gong Mansion’s guards noticed. Who else in Shengjing acts boldly and is capable of such things? Perhaps the little princess of Marquis Yangling Mansion, but she’s just a little girl."
Ji Huo had his evidence and rationale.
"Detestable indeed, the vase on my desk filled with begonias even caught her eye! She sohow managed to find almost identical flowers, arranged them neatly to the left and right, five begonias! She actually split them evenly into the vases, utterly lacking aesthetic sense!"
Ji Huo roared!
"The extra begonia even had its petals plucked off, leaving a round arrangent on the desk! What is this, a provocation or a pairing?"
