Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 594 Fengchenju is indeed mine
"Yes. Fengchenju is indeed owned by a common woman."

The little girl stood there coldly with her arms folded. She was not denying it as Li Yuqi suspected. She smiled lightly and raised her eyebrows slightly, a little unruly and a little sarcastic. In the afterglow of the twilight, she looked beautiful. It's like the pearl dust that has been covered in dust for a long time has dispersed, revealing the true face of brilliance.

Li Yuqi was sitting in the carriage, looking through the curtains raised by the servants. He felt that the girl in front of him was so strange that he seemed to have never seen her before. He also felt that the smile and the unruliness were very dazzling.He subconsciously straightened his back more and more, lowered his chin and snorted, "I thought that the girl was going to deny it and shirk the blame. Since the girl readily agreed, the matter will be easy to handle... Our people received the tip-off, It is said that Fengchenju is harboring bandits, so I am making trouble today, hoping that Fengchenju will hand over the bandits that are harboring them."

There were whispers.

In the autumn evening sky, orange-warm fire clouds were burning. In a brilliant glow, the girl who had just raised her chin and smiled slightly lowered her head and rubbed the soles of her feet. She shrugged nonchalantly, a bit provocatively, "His Royal Highness, you really think that." , do you want to discuss the matter of harboring bandits with me in public?"

It's just an attempt to incriminate someone. His Highness looks so upright and awe-inspiring. Is he pretending to be serious?
"Why not?" A woman in the crowd shouted with her hands on her hips, "Since it is harboring a bandit, it is a matter closely related to our neighborhood. Who can guarantee whether this bandit will harm people's money and lives? Why? Do you want to go in and talk later?”

"That's right! Who knows how you can solve it behind closed doors! As we all know, this Feng Chen family has a lot of money, so we can use real money to settle this matter! This gangster matter concerns everyone, so we have to take care of it Give me an explanation!"

Most of the people making the noise were women. Some of the men around her tried to pull them away, but the woman didn't want to. She turned around and yelled at her man, "What's the matter? Are you feeling distressed? In the past, you came here to eat wine and watch dancing. You You said this is a clean place, you said you were just here to have a drink, and you didn’t have any other thoughts, so I left it to you! Which man on your side doesn’t cheat on you, and what you don’t see is clean... Now I’m looking at the ordinary people The girl you love is locked inside, are you anxious?"

"What are you talking about, mother-in-law? When did I cheat? Besides, don't you know how much money you gave me for drinking wine? With those few plates, I can drink two sips of wine, and it's fishy... Just smelling it is not enough!"

The words were indeed true, but one stone stirred up a thousand waves. The women grabbed the man's ears and began to interrogate and reprimand him. The scene was so chaotic that Ji Wuyan could not care about him.

Ji Wuyan had enough time to continue asking Li Yuqi, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince? Do you really want to talk about the gangsters here? Or is it that His Highness the Crown Prince is worried that if he talks in this Fengchen Residence, he will be labeled as a person who takes money and enriches his own pockets?" The crime of covering up bandits?"

"Of course I am not afraid of the shadow." Li Yuqi bent down and stood up, got off the carriage, glanced around the surrounding people, raised his voice, and shouted, "Everyone, today's matter in Fengchenju, I am We will enforce the law impartially, and please trust me and the court... Even if there are temptations of gold and jade in front of you, I will never accept them. Please be patient and don't be impatient."

It was an impassioned speech, but the response was not strong. It only elicited a few sparse responses such as "We believe in His Highness the Crown Prince!" and "Believe in the imperial court!", which was really a bit perfunctory.

Li Yuqi looked slightly embarrassed.

He waited here for a long time without leaving, nor did he drive away the people who were watching, just to build momentum among public opinion. Unexpectedly, these ignorant women only care about whether their men have stolen money and whether they have stolen money. Whether it was used for drinking or tasting fish, he didn't care at all about such a big thing as Fengchen's trouble.

He gritted his teeth, fluffed his sleeves and walked inside, cursing secretly, "Short-sighted!" His emotions were really not hidden at all.

Ji Wuyan followed him, chuckled when he heard the words, and whispered, "What about Fengchen Residence? Whether he was arrested or sealed, or whether this building will be demolished tomorrow, for them, it is just a topic after dinner. . But what happens to the men in the family is a real blessing and misfortune that falls on you, and a real stake. Your Highness has been in a high position for a long time, so naturally he doesn’t understand the daily necessities of a small person."

The setting sun fell quickly, and the flaming clouds that had filled the sky just now had faded away, leaving only a thin layer of orange warmth falling through the sparse branches and leaves of autumn.In the light, the girl's face is exceptionally beautiful, white and rosy, and her delicate skin is like warm jade of fine quality. But when her normally dark pupils look towards the light, they look like clear amber.

Li Yuqi was distracted for a moment.

Those eyes seemed familiar...but I frowned and thought about it, but I really couldn't remember where I had seen it before...

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" The woman's gentle voice woke him up from his thoughts.

Li Yuqi met those eyes again in a daze, but felt that it might just be his illusion.He came back to his senses, coughed, and said with a cold face, his hands behind his back, "What's the matter?"

The person who arrested her, sealed her building, and imprisoned all the girls is now standing here asking her "what's the matter"?Ji Wuyan sneered in his heart. The position under the buttocks of Li Yuqi, the prince who had been the prince for many years, still seemed to be shaky. Now it seemed that there was a reason for this - he was not very smart.

After passing through the lobby and arriving at the backyard, Ji Wuyan did not go any further. He only looked at Li Yuqi and asked, "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince took Aunt Chaoyun away? Now that we know that Fengchenju belongs to a common woman, what's going on?" Your Highness can just talk to the women of the country, so why bother to imprison others?"

"Miss Ji's news is quite timely...it came faster than I thought."

"His Royal Highness, you are so complimentary. After all, it is your own wine shop, and you always pay close attention to it. If you are not aware of such a big event happening today, you would be derelict in your duty."

"So, then Miss Ji should also be aware of the fact that Fengchenju is harboring bandits, right?"

"How can a common woman know about such groundless things? Your Highness, please don't say it as a joke..."

"Smart words."

The little girl kept saying "Your Highness the Crown Prince", and she was polite in her words, but her cold tone always seemed to be a bit playful and disrespectful.Li Yuqi twitched his lips, "Ms. Ji asked me to come in and talk, but she just stood in this courtyard and talked while blowing the cold wind? Is this how Miss Ji treats guests?"

The light was getting dimmer and dimmer, and the twilight was covering it layer by layer. The little girl turned around and looked with a blurry smile, "That's not the way to treat guests."
