Chapter 936: Chapter 935: An Illicit Affair
Ah Jiu watched the small girl running swiftly ahead, noticing how she seemed as familiar with this unfamiliar mansion as if it were her own home, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes.
Every time, she would always bring him new insights, broadening his horizons. For instance, right now, he was certain she had never been to the Tenth Prince’s Mansion, but the degree of familiarity she displayed made it seem as though she’d been in this mansion for many years.
What he didn’t know was that Wufu had already memorized the blueprint of the Residence of the Tenth Prince, and based on habit, had automatically formed a 3D map in her mind. Now, upon seeing each of these garden buildings, she naturally knew the next steps to take.
Of course, if it weren’t for Ah Jiu’s people detailing the layout of the mansion beforehand, she wouldn’t have been able to create this 3D map in her mind.
After passing a garden and just about to turn onto the path leading to the Moon Viewing Pavilion, Ah Jiu hurriedly grabbed the running Wufu.
Wufu also sensed something was wrong, and the two hid behind a rockery, holding their breath.
The garden was exceedingly quiet, and they hadn’t expected anyone to come; the two quietly waited.
Soon enough, people appeared in front of them, one after the other.
“…Are you okay?” The first to speak was a man’s voice.
“What difference does it make?” A female voice sounded indifferent, a bit familiar.
Wufu and Ah Jiu exchanged a glance, could this be a secret rendezvous in the garden?
“Ningning, do you blame me?” The man’s voice spoke.
The woman let out a sad smile, “What should I blame you for?”
“Ningning, give me some time. I will persuade the emperor to grant us marriage.” The man spoke anxiously.
“Would you dare? Sixth Prince, don’t you know I am already destined to be the Tenth Prince’s Wife? In the future, I am supposed to address you as Sixth Brother.”
Hearing this, Ah Jiu’s eyes narrowed slightly, Sixth Prince, Zhao Mingkun.
Wufu blinked in surprise, juicy gossip indeed, isn’t this Tenth Prince’s Wife supposed to be the Fan Family’s Lady of Good Sounds? And she’s having a thing with the Sixth Prince?
“No, I won’t allow you to marry her.” The Sixth Prince seemed somewhat agitated.
Some sounds of struggle and quiet humming could be heard from over there, Wufu was very curious, stealthily poking her head out half an inch to look, and saw a woman in a Qiu Xiang-colored dress being forcibly kissed in the arms of a person in luxurious clothing.
Such explosive news!
“Zhao Mingkun, you’re being presumptuous, how dare you…” Fan Wuniang sobbed softly.
“My dear Ningning, don’t cry, hearing you cry breaks my heart, I’m just jealous, I don’t want you to marry him.”
“What’s the point? Would you dare tell the Emperor, tell my aunt? What would be the point?”
“I, Ningning, even if you marry him, I will not give you up, I absolutely won’t, you are mine.”
Wow, if this is true, are you planning to sabotage your brother’s marriage?
Wufu thought to herself what a pair of star-crossed lovers, looked at Ah Jiu and saw an indescribable expression in his eyes, raising an eyebrow and mouthing: “What now? Time is running out.”
Ah Jiu took out a bead from his hand and flicked it with his fingers towards the corner gate of the garden, making a slight sound.
“Who’s there?” Zhao Mingkun asked warily.
What an idiot, calling out like that, are you afraid no one knows you’re here? It’s not like it’s your territory anyway.
“Miss, someone is coming.” A panicked voice sounded just at the corner gate.
Fan Wuniang hurriedly said: “Let’s talk later.” With that, there was a rustling and she left in a hurry.
As she left, Zhao Mingkun also followed suit.
Wufu and Ah Jiu didn’t leave immediately but waited for a while to make sure no one was there before running out swiftly.
