C56 Chapter 56

The woman hesitated: This was different from what they had agreed upon.

After thinking about the banknotes in her arms, the woman decided to make a big fuss. Now that no one is around, even if I die, I have to live.

"Aiyo! My God, this is shameless. He actually dared to do such a thing in the tavern." The woman shouted loudly, attracting all the other guests on the same floor.

Jiegeng originally thought that it would be fine if she did not show up, but now that it came out, she really did not know what to do. She frantically grabbed Duan Shuang's clothes and trembled. If this matter were to spread out, her innocent reputation would be ruined.

Duan Shuang stroked Jiegeng's back and whispered in her ear, "I'm here, don't be afraid."

Only then did Jiegeng forcefully suppress her restless heart.

"Your maidservant who knows a little kung fu is downstairs. Now that there is such a big commotion here, she should have come up. Wait a moment. Let her take you away when the time is right." Duan Shuang's lips were pressed against Jiegeng's ear as he gently reminded her.

Jiegeng nodded like a chick pecking at rice, not daring to make any big moves.

Under the lead of that woman, the surrounding guests began to whisper and comment.

"Eh, when I just came, I saw Miss Bai from King Yi's Mansion enter this private room." A sentence suddenly popped up from the crowd.

At this moment, the blame of the public opinion was all pointed at Jiegeng. When the woman who stirred up trouble saw this, she smiled complacently. This time, not only did she get the banknotes, the rest of the gold also went into her pocket!

Adding on the fact that he was circulating his energy to regulate his breathing, Duan Shuang had already completely recovered his clarity.

After covering up Jiegeng, Duan Shuang got up and said in a calm but extremely cold voice, "Who gave you the courage?"

Anyone who knew Duan Shuang would know that he was currently on the verge of exploding with rage.

"It's Zhen'an King!" Someone in the crowd recognized Duan Shuang.

The woman who was so proud of herself just now immediately turned pale. She stared at Duan Shuang in disbelief, wondering whether this was reality or a dream.

"Please spare my life, Your Highness!" The woman fell to her knees.

"I thought it was... How could it be Your Highness? I want to know that His Royal Highness is inside. Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to barge in." The woman still spoke without thinking.

"Someone ordered me to. He said that as long as I pretended to barge in by accident and then spread the word, it would be fine. Please spare my life, Your Highness!" Under Duan Shuang's coercion, the woman was so frightened that she immediately confessed.

At this moment, when the surrounding people found out that they were talking about Zhen'an King, they all backed away so far to watch this farce. At this moment, the center of the conversation was focused on Zhen'an King. No one would remember who the person who had yet to show up was.

If one looked closely at Zhen'an King himself, they would find that his clothes were neat and tidy. And whether or not there was really another person hidden in the faintly visible bed depended entirely on one's mouth.

Looking at the woman's frightened appearance now, it was obvious who was right and who was not.

"Your Highness." Anzhao had just finished dealing with the person, but when he returned, he saw such a farce.

"Who was the one who instructed you?" If it was not for the fact that he was covering for Jiegeng, Duan Shuang did not mind making this matter big.

"A girl from a rich family. She is dressed pretty well. She gave me this set of clothes as well." The woman quickly replied, hoping to be forgiven.

Duan Shuang closed the door to the inner chambers and sat at the dining table. He closed his eyes and did not speak.

"Whose family is it?" Anzhao continued to interrogate on Duan Shuang's behalf.

"I don't know. That girl told me that as long as I find out that the girl inside is shameless... The scene of having a private conversation with someone. This is clearly a fight between powerful and powerful families. How could I, a small civilian, dare to ask? " The woman's tears flowed down her face.

"Your Highness, please go around me, I won't dare to do it again." The woman kept kowtowing to Duan Shuang.

"Anzhao, just hand him over to the government and remind the official in charge of the interrogation to punish him for serious crimes. Such a foul wind cannot be helped. " Duan Shuang raised his eyes, but his gaze was focused on the inner chambers.

"I remember that the most severe punishment for defamation is to pull out your tongue, right?" A person who was watching the fun mocked.

"This offends Zhen'an King. If you don't execute him, you can be considered to be very generous." Another person echoed.

When the sobbing lady heard this, she didn't take a breath and directly fainted.

Anzhao once again sighed deeply. What was this called!?

The farce ended. Just as the onlookers were about to disperse, Duan Shuang suddenly kicked open the door to the inner chambers. He directly pushed open the quilt that was placed on the inner chambers. Everyone looked inside curiously and only then did they realize that the place they originally thought was a person was just an illusion formed by the folding of another bed blanket.

The moment Duan Shuang lifted the blanket, he smiled helplessly.

At this moment, Anzhao remembered to report to Duan Shuang. "Your Royal Highness, the previous person was a cousin of the Liu family of the Court of Judicial Review."

"Then hand this person over to Lord Liu and let him handle his own family matters." Duan Shuang sneered.

Although he did not say it explicitly, most of the people present understood what was going on.

"Qi, you can't tell Aunt about this." After Jiegeng closed the door, she hurriedly walked to the window and found that Qi was already waiting there. So, after roughly arranging it, she followed Qi and left.

"Miss, this matter..." Qi expressed that she was in a very difficult position.

"Qi, I am doing this for your own good. This matter involves Zhen'an King. You don't want him to cause trouble afterwards, right?" Jiegeng did not know if this could scare her.

Although Qi was a person of King Yi's Mansion, she was also afraid of Zhen'an King. Especially after today's direct contact, he seemed to have a kind of innate magic that made it hard for people to get close to him and gave birth to fear in his heart.

"Miss, this is the only time." Qi thought about it again and again, and felt that this matter did not have any conflict of interest towards King Yi's Mansion, so she agreed.

After returning to King Yi's Mansion, Jiegeng and Qi pretended that nothing had happened and did not arouse Rani Yi's suspicions.

And King Yi had sent a mysterious dart letter this afternoon and also took Duan Shihan back to the residence without alerting Rani Yi.

"Father, you know that mask. Am I right!?" After Duan Shihan woke up in her own room, she simply asked Yue about the whole story and rushed straight to King Yi's study.

King Yi frowned. "What are you talking about?"

"Father, with your personality, how could you deal with this matter so quietly? Not only did you not have the intention to destroy the manor, you didn't even have the slightest doubt about me."

King Yi did not pay attention to Duan Shihan's continuous questioning. " You do not need to know about these things. "

"Father!" Duan Shihan did not understand.

"If you continue to be like this, then don't expect to go out again." Initially, she wanted to intimidate Duan Shihan, but when faced with her daughter who was feeling heartache, she was unable to truly be ruthless.

Duan Shihan felt resentment in her heart, turned around and left the study room.

When she walked to the garden, she coincidentally ran into Jiegeng who had a face full of luck.
