Chapter 2742: Chapter 2742: Lost the Bet (Part 4)
Qi Jingyun snorted heavily: "I really don’t know when my fifth brother became so concerned about me? Didn’t you see this is my carriage?"
Only then did Qi Jinghao realize that there was indeed a mark on the carriage. But earlier, he was too focused on the scent of those medicinal bugs and didn’t pay attention to anything else, so he just clasped his fists: "I ask for forgiveness, third brother, I was merely curious."
"Hehe." Qi Jingyun sneered repeatedly but didn’t say anything further. Right now, it’s most urgent to leave quickly, considering there’s a half-dead zombie-like girl inside the carriage.
At this moment, Qi Jingrong had run back, followed by Yun Bai and others, though each one hung their head low, afraid to look at the people inside the carriage.
"Third brother, what’s going on? Who’s troubling you? I’ll teach them a lesson..."
"It’s me." Yang Ruxin stepped forward, "How do you plan on teaching me a lesson?"
"I..." Qi Jingrong hastily retreated two steps, then realized that if his third brother wasn’t willing, who could possibly do this to him? So it’s better he keeps his mouth shut.
"I lost a bet with Madam Ruyi," Qi Jingyun said, slamming the carriage door shut.
"I don’t lack silver, just a bit of amusement. And it’s hard to find someone as honorable as you, Prince Yun." Yang Ruxin smiled mysteriously twice.
A heavy snort came from inside the carriage!
Qi Jingyi gave Yang Ruxin a big thumbs up. In his life, he admired no one else but Yang Ruxin.
"Can we leave now?" Gu Qingheng looked towards King Han.
"Please." King Han gave way.
Gu Qingheng clasped his fists and quickly left with his people.
Qi Jingyi and Qi Jingrong naturally followed along.
Only the King Han remained, his face instantly darkened, closing his eyes briefly before reopening them: "Let them come back, no need to look anymore."
Guard Yuan Hua nodded slightly, turned, and left to deliver the message.
Gu Qingheng and his group hurriedly returned to the General Residence.
"My glorious reputation is ruined by you two," Qi Jingyun looked dejected, "Only you dare to treat me like this."
"You said we’re friends," Gu Qingheng looked innocent, "Didn’t ask you to take extreme measures; just dressed you as a woman. We were quite considerate."
"Indeed, we didn’t beg to be your friend, Prince Yun." Yang Ruxin raised an eyebrow slightly, "Want to break ties?"
Qi Jingyi and Qi Jingrong immediately showed excited expressions.
Before, these two were not exactly enemies, but essentially couldn’t stand each other. No surprise, since Prince Yun and the Crown Prince were rivals.
But ever since Gu Qingheng saved Qi Jingyun, Qi Jingrong’s attitude towards the Gu family couple unknowingly changed, coupled with Yang Ruxin opening a tavern with Qi Jingyun, increasing their interactions.
Qi Jingrong followed wherever Qi Jingyun went.
Now that Qi Jingyun was getting closer to the Gu family couple, he naturally no longer viewed Gu Qingheng and Yang Ruxin as adversaries, and his relationship with Qi Jingyi also eased, often bantering upon meeting, but with less animosity.
Qi Jingyun inelegantly rolled his eyes: "You all..." But he couldn’t continue, so he took a few deep breaths to calm himself, "Now to serious matters, Xinxin, how did you know there would be people checking the carriage?"
Yang Ruxin chuckled: "Guessed."
