An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 245 General Qi’s Mansion (Part Two)

After a long time, a man in his forties walked into the front hall. "My Lord, the Chrysanthemum Yard has

been cleaned up."

Qi Lang stood up and said with a smile, "Your highness, the yard has been cleaned up. Please follow

me there."

Yun Shang nodded and stood up. "General Qi, please don't bother. General Qi must have a lot of

things to deal with before the State of Xia's army arrived. Just tell the butler to take me there."

After a pause, she continued, "The guards I have brought are the secret guards of his majesty. Please

find a place for them, General Qi."

Qi Lang responded in succession. Yun Shang glanced at him indifferently and walked out of the hall.

The butler followed the princess in a hurry. He bowed to her and said, "Please follow me, your

highness."

The Chrysanthemum Yard was really full of chrysanthemum flowers, which was of various varieties and

a few pots of treasure. Yun Shang walked into the room with a smile. Many things in the room were all

new, but there was nothing careless. She glanced at all the furnishings in the room. They were indeed

very delicate.

"I didn't prepared it in time, so I have to make do with you. If you don't like it, just let me know." The

butler said respectfully with a slight bow.

Yun Shang nodded, "okay." Then she entered the bedroom.

"Your Highness, you've been on the way for a couple of days. After the long trip, you must take a rest.

Please get out." Qian Yin said lightly from outside.

Then the butler answered respectfully, "yes, of course. I will leave now. I've arranged some servants to

wait for you at the gate of the yard. If you need anything, just tell them. "

Yun Shang heard the footsteps fade away. It was a long time before Qian Yin raised the bead curtain.

Qian Yin walked in and looked around. Then she said, "General Qi is very interesting. If other people

hear that your highness is here, they will collect the valuable things in this house as soon as possible,

in case you see them and get them. But General Qi didn't seem to be afraid. These desks and

ornaments are priceless. "

Yun Shang grinned, "How can you know that he didn't put away the things he thought it was valuable?

However, Qi Lang had been locked here for a long time, so he didn't know what should be put into the

storage bin. He was afraid that he might collected some expensive stuff. For him, the stuff displayed

here was just ordinary. Besides, he has always been conceited, and will not be afraid to offend me.

Thus, it seems that General Qi Lang is very comfortable. "

Qian Yin clicked her tongue and said in a cold voice, "It's arrogant of Qi Lang to call a concubine over

to serve tea as he is so rude to you."

The corners of Yun Shang's mouth twitched, but she didn't say a word. After a long time, she said, "I'm

really tired after the nearly ten days' journey. I'll have a rest first and wake me up an hour later."

Qian Yin nodded and helped Yun Shang lie down.

When Yun Shang woke up, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. She felt dizzy. She walked out

of the Chrysanthemum Yard with Qian Yin, and saw a small lake in the distance. There was a pavilion

by the lake, and Yun Shang saw no one in the pavilion, so she took Qian Yin to the pavilion and sat

down.

It was already autumn, and it was cool at dusk. A breeze blew from the lakeside, which cheered Yun

Shang up a lot. There were lots of beautiful koi fish in the lake. Yun Shang sat on a bench in the

pavilion and leaned against the rail, staring blankly at the fish.

"Eh? Whose girl are you? Why are you here? Looking at your back, I think you should be a beauty... "

A frivolous voice sounded. Yun Shang curled her lips, but there was no trace of smile in her eyes. She

didn't look back. Judging from the voice, she knew that the man must be the third son of Qi Lang

mansion, who was not a member of the government.

"How dare you!" Qian Yin scolded. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Yun Shang smiled. Qian Yin was a little naughty normally, but when she became serious, she really

acted like that.

Hearing Qian Yin's words, Qi Yuzhi became angry, "Well, I'm bold? Why don't you take a look at this

place? Whose mansion is it? "

Yun Shang turned her head and looked at Qi Yuzhi, without any sign of emotion in her eyes. She had

only seen some general faces in the tavern before. Now, with a close look, he looked handsome, but

with frivolous in his eyes and somewhat arrogant, like a dandy.

Qi Yuzhi opened her mouth and was about to say something, but when he saw Yun Shang's face, he

was stunned and stared at her.

Yun Shang looked back from head to foot and then turned around without saying anything.

It took Qi Yuzhi a long time to react. His voice trembled with excitement. "This beauty... What's your

name? "

Yun Shang hadn't said anything before she heard Qi Yuzhi, who said in a hurry, "my name is Qi Yuzhi.

I'm the third son of General Qi. Are you looking at the fish? There are a lot of things available in our

mansion. If you don't mind, you can ask me to accompany you there. "

His voice was mild, and he was nothing like the person who was arrogant and domineering just now.

Yun Shang thought that this man was good at acting.

However, Yun Shang heard another question. "I've never heard of your visit today. If I had known that

such a beauty would come here, I would have been waiting for you."

Yun Shang had just got up. She was so not happy that she could not stand his chatter any more. Then

she heard footsteps coming towards her.

"Master is looking at the fish. No one is allowed to disturb her." Qian Yin spoke again, stopping Qi Yuzhi

from getting close.

Yun Shang turned to look, and saw Qi Yuzhi holding Qian Yin's hand unhappily. She frowned and

opened her mouth, "Mister Qi..."

Qi Yuzhi went blank for a moment, and then looked at Yun Shang with a smile, "sure enough, calling

from a beauty makes my body limp."

"Mister Qi, could you please call the butler over?" Yun Shang continued calmly.

Qi Yuzhi frowned, "Why do you want to call the butler? The butler is in his 40s or 50s. He is not as

handsome as I am. " Although he said so, he called the servant to call the butler.

He smiled to Yun Shang, "beauty, may I have the honor to share the fish with you?"

Yun Shang smiled and shook her head. "If you like to enjoy fishes, go to the lake nearby. You can see

more clearly."

Qi Yuzhi had a bad tempered. As Yun Shang had refused him again and again, he looked at the little

girl who was stopping him and said in a low voice: "It's a honor for me to reward you with enjoying the

fish with me. Don't be so aloof to me even though you are beautiful. Since you have entered my

mansion, you should just take it if I want to do something to you. It's your fortune that I think highly of

you. Do you want me to do it the hard way? "

Watching the figure approaching, Yun Shang smiled coldly and her eyes got colder. "Then Mister Qi,

tell me about this. What will happen if I refuse you?"

With anger in his heart, Qi Yuzhi didn't notice the woman's threat in her words. Instead, he snorted

coldly, "if you obey me, I may pity you and love you more. If you are ungrateful, don't blame me for

being rude to you."

Yun Shang's smile grew wider, "Haha, being rude to me? I wonder how you are going to punish me."

As she spoke, her eyes fell on the person behind him.

Hearing that, Qi Yuzhi became even angrier. He was about to rush to the pavilion, "Beauty, I'll let you

know the meaning of my punishment today!"

"Bastard! Get on your knees and apologize to the wife of Prince Jing!" A roar of anger came through.

As soon as Qi Yuzhi turned around, he saw her father, who was staring at him with a gloomy face.

Before Qi Yuzhi could react, her father walked up to the stunning woman and knelt down. "Your

Highness, I'm terribly sorry for having failed to teach my son. Please forgive me."

"Your... Your highness? " Qi Yuzhi's face froze. His countenance changed for several times. He turned

around and looked at the woman with a cold expression. He could not help but swallow hard.

"Kneel down!" Qi Lang roared, staring fiercely at Qi Yuzhi.

Upon hearing that, Qi Yuzhi became weak and knelt down.

Yun Shang glanced at them for a while and said, "General Qi, I guess you are too busy to teach your

son."

Qi Lang straightened his back, "My son offended your highness. I won't forgive him."

Yun Shang was about to say something when the butler of General Qi's Mansion came in a hurry.

Seeing Qi Lang and Qi Yuzhi kneeling down in front of Yun Shang, he paused and slightly bent over to

wait by the side.

Yun Shang smiled and looked at the butler. "You are in such a panic. Is there something wrong in the

mansion?"

"Yes, your highness," said the butler. "It's not a big deal. A guest has come."

"Really?" Yun Shang answered indifferently. Then she turned her eyes to the two persons in front of

her, and said with a faint smile, "Today when I just woke up, a secret guard told me an interesting thing

happened at the tavern today..."

Yun Shang said peacefully. Then she noticed that the butler shivered a little.

Yun Shang continued, "General Qi, I want to know how one should be punished if he gets into a private

fight and hurts someone in the KY City."
