Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Chapter 107 Zi Nu's resentment can feed 1000 ghosts

With Yan Chunjun's departure, only Ying Jing, Yan Lingji, Han Fei, Situ Wanli, and... the mysterious woman behind the gauze curtain of the Ji Pavilion remained in the underground hall of the Hidden Dragon Hall.

Han Fei played with the gold in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the ancient-looking box in front of Ying Jing.

"Does Ninth Young Master have something else to say? According to the rules of the Hidden Dragon Hall, even if you are not satisfied with this transaction, I will not accept returns."

Although these treasures weren't of much use to him, he still felt he had gained a lot. Ying Jing was in a good mood and made a joke.

Before Han Fei could speak, Situ Wanli immediately tensed up.

“Young Master Han Fei, transactions are entirely voluntary, and Qianlong Hall has no policy of returning goods.”

Han Fei scratched his head awkwardly, which was somewhat inconsistent with his image as a refined young gentleman.

"Steward Situ is overthinking it. I just want to verify my guess."

As he spoke, Han Fei picked up the wine cup from the table in front of him and put the gold back into the box.

Without hesitation, he poured all the wine from the wine bottle into the box.

"Zizi..."

Instantly, the large piece of gold, visible to the naked eye, vanished into thin air along with the spilled wine.

"this……?"

Situ Wanli was immediately shocked.

Even though he ran the Farmhouse Qianlong Hall and had seen all sorts of treasures over the years, he had never encountered such a strange thing.

Situ Wanli couldn't help but look at Ying Jing, after all, Han Fei's piece of gold was a "treasure" brought by Ying Jing.

Ying Jing simply smiled faintly and remained silent.

However, Yan Lingji, who was nestled in his arms playing with her new jade bracelet, was somewhat dissatisfied. Her heart was now completely devoted to Ying Jing, and she could not tolerate any disrespect from others.

"You're supposed to be the steward of a farm, how can you be so impatient? Do you think my master would deliberately cheat someone out of a broken wine vessel? Just wait and see."

Situ Wanli was rebuked but dared not retaliate, and could only smile and turn to look at Han Fei.

Seeing the gold vanish into thin air, Han Fei was not surprised but rather delighted.

"I was right after all... After the heavy rain, the ghost soldiers roared, the gold vanished into thin air, and the water dissolved the gold... So that's how it is!"

Han Fei couldn't help but mutter to himself that he had volunteered to take on this case in hopes of securing the position of Minister of Justice, but he had ended up with no clue whatsoever.

Now I finally understand!

"Ninth Young Master, the priceless Jade Ocean Elixir Bottle has only been exchanged for a piece of Water-Dissolving Gold, and now all that's left is an empty box. Do you regret it?"

Ying Jing finally spoke.

His beloved wine vessel was exchanged for nothing but air, yet Han Fei's face was filled with joy.

"For some people, this water-dissolving gold is worthless, but for Han Fei, it is a priceless treasure, so he naturally has no regrets."

"Han Fei made a fortune from this deal."

Seeing Han Fei's joyful expression, Ying Jing's smile grew even warmer.

He did another great thing by helping others!

"Han Fei, you've made a fortune, and I haven't lost out either. The Hidden Dragon Hall has also gained fame. We're all happy. However..."

As Ying Jing spoke, she glanced again at the gauze curtain, where her slender reflection lingered.

"You big shots all made a profit, but I, a poor woman, lost everything..."

A soft, alluring voice, tinged with resentment, rang out, and at the same time, the gauze curtain was lifted from the inside by a fair, jade-like hand.

Suddenly, a bewitching purple figure appeared in everyone's sight.

This is a woman as ethereal as mist, with a captivating and alluring presence, adorned entirely in mysterious purple.

Her light purple hair was piled high with several hairpins, and her dark purple tight-fitting long dress outlined her perfect and graceful figure, full and rounded, with a firm and perky bottom.

Her slender waist and the corner of her left eye were decorated with butterfly-wing-shaped purple patterns, which added a touch of allure and charm to her already beautiful face and figure.

Even her eyes had a faint purple hue, like pearls hidden deep in the sea, dark yet dazzling.

Although she simply stood there quietly, without any makeup, she naturally exuded an orchid-like temperament, standing tall and graceful, perfectly combining charm and nobility, mysterious and profound.

"Miss Zi Nu? Zi Lan Xuan is far away in Xinzheng. Why would the proprietress come to participate in the Qianlong Hall's treasure exchange meeting?"

Han Fei was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled.

As the largest brothel in Xinzheng, Zilanxuan was a place Han Fei frequented, so he naturally knew the owner of Zilanxuan.

We're just acquaintances at the moment, not very close.

Han Fei suddenly realized something and looked at the ancient-looking box in front of Ying Jing, where the gold was still inside.

Ying Jing smiled faintly and poured the wine into the box.

Just like before, the gold vanished into thin air, turning into nothingness.

Just as Han Fei had guessed, this was also a piece of gold that could be dissolved by water.

Han Fei could only smile bitterly; no wonder Zi Nu said she had lost everything.

Han Fei felt deeply guilty for making Zi Nu's trip in vain.

Han Fei was also speechless.

You have to remind him that he has to take such a big detour... and both of them do it this way.

"It was just a moment of stupidity on my part, it has nothing to do with you."

Zi Nu said this to Han Fei, but her gaze was fixed on Ying Jing.

Although there was no anger in his purplish eyes, his resentment was very strong.

She specially traveled from Xinzheng to this border region for this plan to test Han Fei, but it was ruined at the last step by the sudden appearance of Lord Changxin!

Zi Nu now even feels that if there really are ghost soldiers, her resentment could feed at least a thousand of them.

Holding Yan Lingji in his arms, Ying Jing was able to completely ignore her resentful gaze.

He said calmly, "Of course I can't let the young lady come for nothing. I'll accept this box, but I should also return something in return."

On the jade shelf, there is only one jade bracelet left.

Ying Jing casually waved his hand, and the jade bracelet flew directly towards Zi Nu.

Zi Nu instinctively raised her hand to take it, only to find that the jade bracelet fit perfectly on her fair, jade-like wrist.

She wanted to take it off, but halfway up her hand, she suddenly felt a little unwilling.

It would be such a waste to have made such a trip for nothing!

"Master, is it really easy to break two jade bracelets?"

Yan Lingji remained seated on Ying Jing's lap, nestled in his arms, but this time she climbed a little higher, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Ying Jing's gaze.

hiss!

The resentment of the two women combined and exploded.

This time, Ying Jing felt he was starting to feel the strain.

Zi Nu glanced at Yan Ling Ji, then at Ying Jing.

For some unknown reason, she suddenly felt her resentment dissipate, and she inexplicably laughed, a smile that was both alluring and seductive.

"I dare not refuse Lord Changxin's kindness, so I will accept this jade bracelet. If Lord Changxin has time, you may visit Zilan Pavilion. I am sure you will be satisfied..."
