Bonus release (2/3)
"Your Highness, why is this part of you still so unresponsive?" Beauty Yu looked at Han Ming Hong's unaffected body, and her glassy eyes showed a trace of shock. She gazed at Han Ming Hong in disbelief.
Han Minghong once again kicked Beauty Yu away and yelled loudly, "Someone, come here!"
The servant stormed in. Upon seeing the beauty on the ground beneath Han Minghong whose entire body was emitting a chilly air, the servant didn't dare to look any longer. He bowed and asked, "Your Highness?"
"Get this wretched maid out!" Han Minghong said darkly.
"Understood." The young servant dared not ask any more questions. He dragged away Beauty Yu, who was still clawing at her robes and screaming that she was feeling hot. When he reached the gate, he heard Han Ming Hong's icy voice.
"Since she wants a man that much, I’ll let her be your reward! Remember to clean up once you’ve had your fun."
The initially distressed little servant immediately grinned and walked out with glee.
"Someone, bring me the Beauty Xue..."
After watching pretty much the whole scene, Ying Ge patted Leng Er's shoulder, and the two quietly left Prince Ren’s Mansion.
"Hahahaha..."
Ying Ge was laughing the entire way. Every time she stopped, she would once again remember Han Ming Hong’s appearance and be unable to stop herself from bursting into even more laughter.
"Leng Er, why so serious?"
"What is so funny?" Leng Er asked.
"How is it not funny? Look at how Prince Ren was just now! That expression, the cold aura all around his body... Hahaha, it’s making me laugh so hard!" Ying Ge said as she guffawed.
"That poison was the product of your mistress’ research?"
"Of course. Who allowed him to go and harass my Mistress just because he had nothing to do? He’s so annoying! I had to find him something else to do to prevent him from being so idle. By the way, what are you doing here at Prince Ren's Mansion?"
What was he doing? What else could he be doing?! He had merely been ordered to burn a bunch of the more important courtyards in Prince Ren’s Mansion. Ultimately, it was also for the purpose of finding something for Han Ming Hong to do. However, compared with Du Xiao Li's methods, the methods of Leng Er’s master demonstrated a much purer intention.
Ying Ge listened to Leng Er talk about what he had done here, then she looked back at the quiet Mansion of Prince Ren. She asked, "So you've failed your mission?"
"How could I have failed?!" Slighted by Ying Ge, Liang Er stomped his foot in anger.
"Weren’t you supposed to be burning houses? There is no sign of activity at all, not a flame to be seen. Isn’t this considered a failure?"
"Who says? Look behind you!" Leng Er grabbed Ying Ge and forcibly turned her around.
Ying Ge was forced to look back, and her whole body was stunned. Prince Ren’s Mansion, which had been completely still all this time, was now engulfed in flames!
"You—how did you do it?" Ying Ge asked with her mouth open in disbelief.
"Big Bro here is clever. You want to know? First, let me hear you call me Big Brother. Call me ‘Gege’." Leng Er smirked.
Ying Ge gave Leng Er a blank look and said cooly, "Not interested! But when I head back, I will tell my Mistress that you molested me. Humph!"
After that, she turned and continued walking back. There was no way she was going to call him ‘Gege’!
Leng Er thought of Du Xiao Li’s character—one that would always defend her family or friends despite knowing they were in the wrong—and then the image of his own master becoming a wife-slave before even getting married... He suddenly felt a chill down his spine and lost all the pride he had just then. Chasing after Ying Ge, Leng Er said, "Hey, hey. I was just kidding! Who am I to make you call me ‘Gege’? We’ll both be serving the same master in the future, so don't think much of this!"
"Okay, then let me hear you call me Big Sis. Call me ‘Jiejie’..."
“Could you change your condition?"
"I won’t negotiate."
"..."
Before returning, Leng Er sent Ying Ge back to Sui Yuan Club.
Ying Ge quietly climbed the wall and returned to Du Xiao Li's courtyard.
"Mistress."
Du Xiao Li was still researching medicines under the lamplight as Xia Yuan continued to teach Qiao Zhu how to read and write.
Hearing her come in, Du Xiaoli put down her book and raised her head to ask: "Success?"
"Yeah, it was successful," Ying Ge replied.
"Ying Ge, why did it take you so long to return? Did you run into trouble?" Xia Yuan asked.
"No, I merely took a detour to watch a good show," Ying Ge said a bit awkwardly.
"A good show?" Qiao Zhu looked at Ying Ge and then suddenly laughed before saying, "Ying Ge-jiejie, did you go see the prince’s... that? Did you see them… you know, do that?"
Qiao Zhu's words shifted everyone’s focus onto Ying Ge.
Ying Ge walked over and smacked Qiao Zhu. Then she chided the latter, "Child, what sort of question are you asking?"
"I’m the same age as Mistress, so if you say I am a child, doesn't that mean you’re calling Mistress a child too?" Qiao Zhu said while covering her head.
"Mistress is Mistress, and you are you!" Ying Ge glared at Qiao Zhu.
"Ying Ge, are you sure that Prince Ren has fallen for it?" Du Xiao Li asked.
"Do not worry, Mistress. I saw it with my own eyes. He didn't respond at all even when Beauty Yu tempted him like that. I even spread soul fragrance
into the room, but it was still no use. Haha, Mistress, if only you had seen him. His expression was absolutely hilarious." Ying Ge thought of Han Ming Hong's appearance and couldn't help but laugh again.
Nevertheless, Du Xiao Li didn’t pay attention to this but instead on other words.
"‘Us’? Who else was with you?"
"Um," Ying Ge muttered. She didn't expect to slip up. "Well, that... Bodyguard Leng Er was also there tonight."
"Bodyguard Leng Er went as well? So you both watched the prince flirt with the beauty together? Wow, so did anything spark between you two?" After Qiao Zhu finished speaking, she jumped behind Du Xiaoli, peeking out at Ying Ge from the back.
"There was nothing!" Ying Ge denied. Yet when she thought of the moment when Leng Er begged her not to badmouth him on the way back, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curve up.
"Woah, you’re even blushing!" Xia Yuan looked at the blush on Ying Ge's face and chuckled. "Mistress, look at her. Could this be the stirrings of love?"
"I think it is!" Du Xiao Li also saw that Ying Ge was a little different from usual, and she nodded in agreement.References 1. — Basically a guy who is really submissive to his female partner. 2. — I’m not entirely sure, but this should be from burning some sort of incense, maybe incense ash?
