FSC [QT] Chapter 106.5

“Sister Jin is really something. She knew that this fruit was so troublesome to eat, but she still hid the tools to open the fruit from us.”

“That’s right. However, the taste of this fruit is indeed special, sour and sweet. However, as the Seventh Sister said, it has been stored for too long and has a rotten taste.”

The situation suddenly changed from Jin Ruyi’s original plan of guessing the fruit to the condemnation of a group of young ladies.

Jin Ruyi’s expression could hardly be suppressed.

“I meant well but ended up with a bad result. I didn’t expect this fruit to be so fragile. I wanted everyone to try it.”

Jin Ruyi quickly regained her composure, smiled, and regarded the test as a harmless joke.

“This kind of fruit is unique to Xifan country. I didn’t expect the Seventh Sister to know how to eat it. Even I only know how to eat it after being taught by the servants in the First Prince’s Mansion.”

Jin Ruyi looked at Ah Wu. It would be too coincidental to say that a blind cat encountered a dead mouse.

“I’m just guessing. Maybe I’m just lucky.”

Ah Wu’s words reminded the young ladies present about the publicity the Marquis of Changping Mansion had created before her return. It said that the Seventh Young Lady was stolen because a fortune teller declared her good fortune when she was born.

For a moment, Jin Ruyi’s limelight was once again overshadowed by Ah Wu.

Fortunately, the auspicious time was approaching at this time, so Jin Ruyi didn’t care about Ah Wu and Ling Zhuo again. She accelerated her dressing up with the help of the maid.

Other young ladies in the room became more and more curious about Ah Wu, asking her about her life in the countryside for the past eleven years.

“Who are you? This is the boudoir of the eldest granddaughter of the Marquis of Chengyi mansion. Do you have the right to break in?”

“Help me! Why are you arresting me?”

…

There was a loud noise from far away, the low sound of armor colliding, the sound of pushing and screaming, and the sound of vase ornaments being hit and smashed…

The group of young ladies in the room could not sit still and gathered together nervously.

“Who is making noise?”

As the host, Jin Ruyi naturally had to open the door and scold the servants who were playing outside.

But the moment she opened the door and was about to scold, she was frightened by the scene in front of her.

One by one, the soldiers in armor surrounded Jin Ruyi’s yard.

When they saw Jin Ruyi opening the door, several soldiers went forward and restrained her with their backhands and tied her up with chains.

“We are following the orders of Chief Eunuch Yan to arrest the whole clan of traitors, the Marquis of Chengyi. Please forgive me for disturbing all the young ladies.”

“However, now we would like to bother a few young ladies to go to the front hall and follow the madam of each family. I will count the number of people before sending them off.”

“Madams and young ladies, please go back to your home to prevent rebels like the Jin family from hiding among the crowd.”

The leading guard said respectfully to Ah Wu and others, but the sharp swords in the hands of the soldiers behind him were not retracted, as if they were going to teach these people a profound lesson if they were disobedient.

It was too bold. Yan Zhongying chose this day to take action. It was not to eliminate the Marquis of Chengyi, but to threaten all the dignitaries in the capital who did not obey him, giving them all a naked warning.

This showed how huge Yan Zhongying’s power was.

There were many powerful female family members of dignitaries like the Marquis of Changping Ling Yaodong, but Yan Zhongying still did this.

Didn’t this prove that he was fully confident that he could suppress these dissatisfied voices, or should it be said that among these people present, many had already surrendered to Yan Zhongying?

***

In the front yard of the Marquis of Chengyi’s mansion, a young man in a scarlet sixth-rank eunuch uniform sat on the armchair specially brought out by the guards, holding a cup of tea in his hand.

Facing the sights that pierced his body like a blade, he remained calm.

The young man’s skin was as white as jade, and the scarlet cloth made his appearance even more beautiful and enchanting.

When the corners of his mouth were raised, there was even an illusion of spring flowers blooming.

But the next second, the young man’s eyes darkened, and there were no more charming thoughts. They just felt like they were in an ice cellar, like the biting cold of February.

“Marquis of Chengyi.”

He stood up and walked toward the Marquis of Chengyi, who was stripped of his court robes and pressed to the ground. It seemed that by mistake, all the tea in his hand fell on his head.

Because his mouth was gagged, the Marquis of Chengyi could only glare at him.

Ah Wu and a group of girls were sent to the madam of each family. From a distance, only the crimson back figure could be seen.
