Chapter 245 Mother is Mighty!
Yang Jianwu strongly resisted the invitation; she had no interest in attending other people's banquets...
“Your Highness, you are too kind, it has troubled you to personally deliver this invitation. I should not refuse, but with the end of the year approaching, I am very busy and simply cannot leave my home…”
King Qi did not give Yang Jianwu a chance to refuse, and looked at Yang Boshan and said: "General Yang is a man of great loyalty and righteousness. Tell me, how can I not repay the life-saving grace! There are many things to do at the end of the year, so please take care of things, Madam Yang, so that Miss Yang can have no worries!"
Yang Boshan detested the protection of officials and did not want to get involved with the Prince of Qi. "Going to Ancheng at this time would take at least half a month round trip. If there is a snowstorm, the convoy will have to stop again. What if we can't make it back before the New Year..."
Prince Qi waved his hand dismissively and said, "What's there to be afraid of? I will send people to protect Miss Yang the whole time. If the weather is really bad, then she can stay at Prince Qi's residence for the New Year. I will send her back to you next spring!"
"Your Highness, Prince Qi!"
Yang Boshan's expression darkened slightly; the Prince Qi's words had a hidden meaning! Staying at the Prince Qi's residence for the New Year? What is Wu'er's status in staying at the Prince Qi's residence?
A mocking smile appeared on Yang Jianwu's lips. How dare they come up with such a wicked idea!
It seems that King Qi is living too leisurely a life. She doesn't mind helping him find some fun, especially since she's offering herself up!
"Father, since His Highness Prince Qi has already said so much, it wouldn't be appropriate to refuse any longer. I will return before the New Year after attending the 100-day celebration!"
Looking at the determined look on his daughter's face, Yang Boshan felt a little relieved. His daughter was no pushover!
"Row!"
He accepted the invitation with both hands and handed it to Yang Jianwu.
Yang Jianwu opened the invitation, a rare murderous intent flashing in her eyes, which was well concealed by her long eyelashes and went unnoticed by anyone.
It's only the 12th today, and the 100-day celebration is set for the 26th! It seems the King of Qi really doesn't want me to come back…
He smiled as he accepted the invitation and bowed to the King of Qi.
"Thank you for personally delivering the invitation, Your Highness. I will certainly attend the banquet on time."
When King Qi saw Yang Jianwu accept the invitation, his smile widened.
"Miss Yang, I will be staying in Anshun for two days. I have temporarily booked the entire third floor of Huashuiyuefang. You should pack your things and come with my entourage to Ancheng in two days. It will be good to have someone to look after you on the way!"
Yang Boshan was disgusted by the King of Qi's behavior, and his angry expression could barely be maintained.
"Your Highness, this is inappropriate!"
"General Yang, you can rest assured about letting Miss Yang go out alone, but I am not! It's settled then. I will personally come to the gate of the manor to pick her up at Chenshi (7-9 AM) two days from now."
After King Qi finished speaking, he left in a hurry with his men, without caring what General Yang thought.
Yuan Suxin was furious when she heard about this. "That bastard Prince Qi, what does he mean by repaying a debt of gratitude? He's clearly after Wu'er! I'd better not run into him, or I'll smash his face in!"
Seeing his wife's anger, Yang Boshan dared not utter a sound.
"And you too, why didn't you refuse King Qi to his face!"
"I refused right then and there, you can ask Wu'er if you don't believe me..."
"Refuse my foot! If you had refused, would Prince Qi have said he would come to fetch Wu'er in two days? You didn't scold him enough! If you had scolded Prince Qi so badly that he would have run away with his tail between his legs, let's see how arrogant he would be! It's all your fault!"
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault, please don't be angry..."
Yang Boshan sat obediently in his seat and listened, believing that whatever his wife said was right.
Yang Jianwu secretly rejoiced. Her mother was so powerful! The once famous talented woman in the capital had been worn down by time into a shrew. She didn't care who you were if she didn't like you; she would just start cursing you first!
After Yuan Suxin had vented her anger, Yang Jianwu stepped forward to pat her mother's back and comforted her for a while before returning to Xige.
Mu Jin removed the elaborate ornaments from Yang Jianwu's head and, unable to contain her curiosity, asked the question.
"Miss, does Prince Qi have feelings for you?"
Yang Jianwu looked at Mu Jin through the mirror with a gloating expression.
"Yes! You noticed!"
Mu Jin picked up a comb from the dressing table and began to comb Yang Jianwu's hair, complaining all the while.
"The moment Young Master Puyang left, someone came knocking on the wall. What do you think he'd do back there? There's no one to comb your hair anymore, and you might not even come back."
"Stop! I'll be back! I thought Prince Qi was deeply in love with the Princess, which is why he went through all that trouble to bring her to Yunzhi to give birth. Now it seems it was all premeditated!"
“I don’t like him either. You don’t know, when I first came to the General’s Mansion, Prince Qi stood at the door and directed the servants to carry the gifts into the mansion. He was so arrogant, as if he were the master of the house!”
Huashuiyuefang never rents out entire floors. It took a lot of money for King Qi to be able to book an entire floor. Money is offered to you, only a fool wouldn't take it!
"Mulan, go to Huashuiyuefang now and send a message that His Highness Prince Qi has booked the entire three-story building. It's a fortune! Don't miscalculate! Since he wants to give gifts, let's grant his wish!"
Mu Jin chuckled to herself, thinking that King Qi's intentions were impure and he deserved to be killed!
"Yes, miss!"
