Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1994: Chapter 1994: Loyal Guard Dog (Part 2)

In this era, chastity and reputation are more important than anything else. Even if the original owner said it was the assassin that day, the fact remains that she was alone with a man. Who knows what that assassin did to her.

Changsun Hang naturally believed his little lover. Who knows what she might add to the story, and the original owner dared not let the little lover reveal this matter.

Because of this leverage, the original owner was basically beaten and suppressed by the little lover later on.

Now this scene...

The wind was so strong that Chuzheng could barely open her eyes. Seeing the assassin getting closer and deliberately heading towards her, her first reaction was to retreat back into the room.

The assassin had already reached the door and held it with his hand.

Without even looking at the opponent, Chuzheng kicked over, and while the assassin was dodging, she quickly slammed the door shut.

The howling wind was blocked by the door, swirling in the room before gradually dissipating.

Leaning against the door, Chuzheng brushed her hair away from her face, belatedly realizing something was off.

That assassin just now...

No... it can’t be.

I just got here, how could I meet the Good Person Card so soon?

Impossible, impossible!

Just an illusion.

The wind was too strong, surely it’s an illusion.

Yes!

[Main Task: Obtain a Good Person Card from Shi Yi, save Shi Yi from turning dark.]

The smile gradually froze.jpg

[Miss, aren’t you going to save your card?]

Chuzheng leaned against the door, holding her chest, her face tense, ”No! I’m not going!”

It was so dark just now, the Good Person Card surely didn’t see me clearly. I can still hide it then.

If I go out now, wouldn’t that be walking into a trap?

[...] The King’s Account sent a string of gibberish: [Miss, are you sure? Aren’t you afraid something will happen to him?]

”The Good Person Card won’t die so easily, at most he’ll just suffer a bit.” Chuzheng clenched her fist, ”A mature Good Person Card should learn to save themselves!”

[...]

These words sound so familiar.

So familiar that the King’s Account almost thought it returned to the beginning of the book.

Chuzheng stubbornly refused to go outside, listening intently to the chaotic footsteps fading away, disappearing into the howling wind. Once she confirmed the commotion was gone, she pushed the door open and stepped outside.

The wind was still strong outside. Chuzheng clutched her clothes tightly and, according to the original owner’s memory, walked towards her residence.

She thought she could sneak back quietly, but halfway there, she encountered Changsun Hang leading a large group of people.

”Princess Consort?” One of the people by Changsun Hang’s side exclaimed, ”Why are you here?”

Chuzheng gathered her cloak to shield against the relentless wind and audaciously scrutinized Changsun Hang.

Changsun Hang wore luxurious clothes, his features handsome, truly attractive, possessing the charm to captivate at first sight. The royal genes were inherited quite well.

When Changsun Hang saw Chuzheng, he frowned, his tone cold with a hint of disdain, ”You’re supposed to be reflecting on your mistakes, what are you doing out here!”

Chuzheng retracted her gaze, maintaining her composure, and lightly replied, ”Returning to my room.”

”Return...” Changsun Hang looked as if he had seen a ghost, then became furiously angry, ”I told you to reflect on your mistakes for three days, who allowed you to return to your room?!”

”My brother.” Chuzheng shamelessly brought up Yann Qin, whom she had yet to meet.

Changsun Hang: ”...”

Changsun Hang forcibly repressed his anger midway, leaving his handsome face looking somewhat contorted.

To the current Changsun Hang, Yann Qin was still a formidable figure he dared not provoke.

This woman had never invoked Yann Qin before. What’s different today?

He dared to punish her because he knew she would not speak.

But if Yann Qin found out...

Changsun Hang dared not imagine what that person might do.

”If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back now.” Chuzheng didn’t want to stand in the wind and chat with Changsun Hang.

Changsun Hang gritted his teeth, ultimately saying nothing, angrily ordering, ”Catch the assassin first!” He then took his people and left.

-

The original owner’s residence was named Jinxiu Pavilion. At this time, only one room in Jinxiu Pavilion had its light on, and when Chuzheng returned, no one came out to greet her.

”Cough, cough, cough...”

As Chuzheng passed by the room with the light on, she happened to hear movement inside.

”I don’t know how the young lady is doing, in such cold weather, can the young lady endure it?” This voice was somewhat weak and occasionally coughed, likely a patient.

”You should take care of yourself.” The responding voice was not very pleasant.

”Please go check on the young lady and bring some clothes.”

”His Highness said we’re not allowed...”

”No matter how ruthless His Highness is, he can’t let the young lady get sick! If this gets to the Minister of the Appointments, His Highness won’t be able to explain...”

”Alright, I’ll go.”

The conversation inside ceased, and shortly after, a maid emerged, carrying clothes.

”Ah...”

Suddenly seeing a figure standing in the courtyard, the maid was startled.

Looking more closely, the maid’s expression subtly changed again.

”Princess Consort?” The maid asked with a lingering fear, ”Why are you standing here? Weren’t you supposed to be reflecting on your mistakes? Ah... I was just planning to bring you some warm clothes.”

”How is Ying Xiang?” Chuzheng asked in a calm tone.

Ying Xiang was brought by the original owner from the Yann family and had been serving her for many years.

The original owner was punished to reflect on her mistakes, and Ying Xiang was beaten. When the original owner returned, Ying Xiang was already gravely ill for some unknown reason.

Even after the original owner invited a doctor, it was useless. In the end, Ying Xiang didn’t make it and passed away.

The original owner came with only Ying Xiang, as Changsun Hang said he didn’t like it, so she foolishly rejected the servants Yann Qin had prepared for her.

Later, the original owner had no one trustworthy by her side.

The maid in front was named Yun Xiang, sent by the Prince’s Mansion, and now probably aligned with Changsun Hang’s little lover.

Yun Xiang felt the Princess Consort before her was somewhat off, making her feel pressured, so she could only respectfully reply, ”Ying Xiang sister is fine.”

”Has a doctor been sent for?”

”...No...not yet. We servants aren’t in a position to call a doctor.”

”Go get one.”

”...”

Yun Xiang didn’t move, suspicious of what was going on with Chuzheng. Suddenly coming back at night and behaving so strangely.

”Is there a problem?”

Yun Xiang snapped back, suppressing her doubts, ”No... I’ll go right away.”

Yun Xiang hurriedly left, and Chuzheng, after some thought, lifted the curtain and went inside.

”Yun Xiang, why are you back?” Ying Xiang lay on the bed, thinking it was Yun Xiang who entered. ”Hurry and go, if the young lady catches a cold and gets sick, it’ll be too late, cough, cough, cough...”

Chuzheng had already reached inside. Ying Xiang, upon seeing who entered, blanked for a moment, then immediately struggled to get up.

”Mis... Miss, why are you...”

Chuzheng pressed her back down, ”Stay lying down.”

Ying Xiang, having little strength, was easily pressed back by Chuzheng.

”Miss, why have you returned? Did His Highness allow you back?” Ying Xiang asked urgently.

”No, I came back myself.”

Ying Xiang’s pupils contracted slightly, ”Miss...”

Chuzheng interrupted her, ”What are you afraid of? As long as my brother is not toppled, he wouldn’t dare do anything to me.” Besides, that scoundrel can’t beat me.
