Chapter 56 Is Grandma fun? Does she have a lot of tricks up her sleeve?
Governor's Office.
Zhai Rongyu sat by Jun Ce's bedside and handed him a pill.
"Here, eat this. It will alleviate the damage from the magic circle."
[I never imagined that the serious injuries Huai Xu suffered in Yangcheng in the original book were caused by me.]
Oh, what a terrible thing.
"It doesn't matter."
Jun Ce looked at her slightly anxious face, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes.
"How can that be done!"
Zhai Rongyu frowned and directly pressed the pill into his mouth through his hand.
Jun Ce swallowed it with a sense of helplessness.
She raised her hand, and her sleeve slipped down slightly, revealing a striking red mark around her wrist.
Jun Ce reached out and grasped her hand. "How did it get so serious?"
His eyes revealed undisguised concern.
Zhai Rong chuckled and withdrew her hand.
"It's nothing, just a minor injury."
Jun Ce frowned, disagreeing, "How can this be called a minor injury?"
"Flower Shadow!"
"What are your commands, my lord?"
"Go and fetch the skin-whitening cream."
Hua Ying quickly brought over a box of plasters.
Jun Ce unscrewed the cap, dabbed some with his fingertip, pulled Zhai Rongyu's hand, and gently applied the ointment to her wrist.
Warm fingertips, coated with cool ointment, gently stroked her skin, sending a jolt of electricity coursing through her body from the wound on her wrist.
Zhai Rongyu's mind went blank for a moment.
Jun Ce said, "This Snow Skin Cream is most effective at reducing swelling and inflammation. Be careful not to get it wet, otherwise it will leave a scar."
Zhai Rongyu blinked at him.
[Why is Brother Huaixu acting like a mother hen?]
Jun Ce's tall frame paused, the remaining words of concern stuck in his throat.
"My lord!" A figure rushed in, as if he had something important to report.
Zhai Rongyu took the opportunity to slip away.
"Well, you get some rest, I'm leaving now."
Jun Ce stared at the lone figure with some displeasure. "What did you find out?"
Zhiying stared at Zhai Rongyu's retreating figure and touched his nose.
"Return to the Lord!"
"My subordinates have discovered that all the rice shops in Yangcheng were secretly bought up when the disaster first started."
“No wonder,” Jun Ce sneered, “After the disaster became severe, the price of rice in Yangcheng skyrocketed overnight.”
"It seems that someone is deliberately hoarding grain and maliciously raising prices to make huge profits."
The lone figure was somewhat indignant.
"These people are profiting from the national crisis, aren't they afraid of retribution?"
He continued, "No wonder people couldn't get enough to eat so soon after the disaster started."
"It turns out that the high price of rice and grain emptied their savings."
"Who on earth could be so utterly depraved?" Hua Ying couldn't bear to listen any longer.
*
Zhai Rongyu returned to her room, pushed open the door, and a strange fragrance wafted out.
She was caught off guard and fainted.
Upon waking, I found myself with my hands tied behind my back, in a carriage.
A familiar figure stood before me.
"It's you?!"
Zhai Rongyu exclaimed in surprise.
Ji Chang turned around, a hint of pain flashing across his resolute face.
"Miss Zhai, please forgive me."
"Ji was forced to do this."
"Heh," Zhai Rongyu twisted her hand, only to find that the rope was tied even tighter, and a hint of displeasure appeared on her delicate eyebrows.
"What on earth do you want to do!"
"Stop struggling. This is a binding method specifically used for prisoners. The more you struggle, the tighter it will be tied."
Ji Chang sighed and said quietly, "Besides, I've already given you a muscle-relaxing drug. Even if you're untied, you can't escape."
"You'd better save your energy."
Zhai Rong lowered her eyes slightly, concealing the glint in them.
Now that the Han Guang Sword and the Hun Yuan Bell are in her hands, there is nothing in this world that can hold her back.
Judging from Ji Chang's words, it seems that there is someone else behind this.
The waters of Yangcheng are deep, and Brother Huaixu was injured again because of her.
Why not turn the tables and find out who's behind this?
That's doing him a favor.
Thinking of this, Zhai Rongyu closed her eyes and simply fell asleep.
The carriage arrived at the gate of a mansion.
Ji Chang blindfolded Zhai Rongyu with a black cloth strip and led her out of the car.
She opened her third eye and looked.
Ye Mansion.
Ah, it really is that old dog.
Zhai Rongyu was taken to a secret room and tied to a chair in the center of the room.
……
As Jun Ce listened to Zhiying's report, his hard face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
"Who else could be behind this?"
He gently stroked the jade pendant in his hand.
"When the people of Yangcheng were penniless, the Ye family's soup kitchen suddenly appeared."
"This Ye Kun is really good at scheming."
Hua Ying looked at him with disdain, "This Ye Kun used moldy rice to do good deeds, which not only earned him a good reputation but also allowed him to dispose of expired surplus grain."
"Indeed, no merchant is without guile!"
The figure on the ground also showed resentment.
"My lord, this man is cunning. What should we do with him?"
Jun Ce lowered his eyes, his large, well-defined hands caressing the dark green jade pendant.
With the Empress Dowager's backing, Ye Kun might not be able to strike successfully without evidence.
The only solution now is to find the lost relief grain.
But where will this disaster relief grain be stored?
At that moment, Ji Rufeng rushed in in a panic.
"Oh no! Miss Zhai has disappeared!"
"What did you say?!"
Jun Ce gripped the jade pendant tightly in his hand, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
His sharp gaze turned to the lone figure.
The shadowy figure understood, "Your subordinate will go investigate immediately!"
.......
The cloth strip covering Zhai Rong's face was removed.
She looked up and saw Ye Kun's lewd and greedy face, then politely vomited all over him: "yue..."
Ye Kun instantly lost all interest, staggered back a few steps, and his face turned ashen.
"Don't refuse a polite toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
Zhai Rongyu snorted disdainfully.
In the candlelight of the secluded room, her slightly pouting red lips appeared even more plump and dewy. Her fair face seemed to be edged with gold, making her breathtakingly beautiful.
A few stray hairs fell around her ears, disturbing her peace of mind.
Ye Kun's wicked intentions remained undiminished, and the evil fire in his chest burned ever brighter.
“My beauty, you do have quite a temper.”
"But I like it very much."
"It's more fun to play with someone like you who can resist!"
Having said that, he reached out his hands towards Zhai Rongyu.
The girl smiled mischievously.
"Really?"
"Then this grandma will play with you for a while~"
With fingers flying behind his back, a talisman silently flew onto Ye Kun's back.
Ye Kun suddenly felt his hands slip out of his control and reach straight towards his crotch.
He opened his eyes wide in horror to see his hands roll up his trouser legs, form delicate fingers, and forcefully pluck out each and every hair on his legs!
"what!!!!"
He screamed in agony as he pulled.
"Witch! What kind of sorcery have you cast on me?!"
"Untie me now!!!"
He roared wildly, while frantically plucking his leg hair with his pinky finger.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Zhai Rong and Xiao's chair trembled violently.
"How was it? Did you have fun, Grandma?"
Are there many varieties?
"Is Chairman Ye satisfied?"
She crossed her legs, leaned back in her chair, wiggled her toes, and hummed twice, "If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know how treacherous the world is."
Ye Kun's eyes widened in fury as he shouted, "Help! Help!!"
The servants arrived in a hurry.
They were somewhat stunned by the scene before them.
Chairman Ye's left leg is already completely bare, and he is now pulling up his trouser leg to pluck the hair from his right leg.
"Quickly, hold my hand down!" Ye Kun screamed.
The servants immediately stepped forward and grabbed Ye Kun's hands tightly with both hands.
But he was so strong that everyone had to use all their strength to hang on his arms and pull his hands to the sides.
Ye Kun screamed repeatedly.
Zhai Rong burst out laughing.
"President Ye, are you training your arm strength?"
"Look at that, he can hang three servants on one arm!"
"How about I call you Ye Long-Armed Ape President Kun from now on?"
Ye Kun nearly popped his eyes out.
His eyes were bloodshot as he angrily retorted, "Don't be so smug!"
"You just stay in this secret room! No rice, no water, let's see how many days you can last!"
A sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
He'll starve this vixen for a few days, then let's see how she resists!
After saying this, he angrily carried the six servants out of the secret room.
