Chapter 272 Princess, Spare My Life
Consort Feng and Zhou Dong arranged to meet again at the teahouse where they had met before.

Zhou Dong also brought some snacks from a shop, saying, "Try them, they're supposedly the latest products."

Consort Feng smiled and agreed, "A school for Zhou Nianzu (Zhou Dong's eldest son) has been found. He'll enroll here for two years, and if he excels in his studies, I can get him into the Imperial Academy. It's a bit far from where you live now. I arranged for someone to find a middleman, and they found a small three-courtyard house. It's not big, but it's quite tidy... Take a look..."

Zhou Dong took it and was deeply moved. "You've thought of everything so thoroughly."

“Isn’t that the least I can do? This house is available for purchase or rent. If you want to buy it, I’ll help you pay half the price…”

"That won't do!" Zhou Dong quickly refused; how could he possibly accept that?
"Listen to me, I don't need this money right now! I'll lend it to you for now, and you can pay me back with interest when you do well..."

“Your Majesty, I can come up with this money now. I won’t ask you for it. I haven’t even done anything yet, and you’re already taking care of me.”

Consort Feng smiled sincerely: "We're like siblings. I'll take care of you, and you'll take care of me. Let's think more about the future and not worry about what we have now. Right now, I'm the one who can take care of you. In the future, I'll need your help even more."

Zhou Dong thought for a while, and suddenly he really enjoyed this feeling of kinship: "Okay, I've kept all the accounts, and I'll pay the principal and interest in the future... Now look at these two people."

He held two lists in his hand. "I've personally tested them; their skills are quite good, and they know a wide range of things. Please take a look at the information first, and we'll arrange a time to meet them later." These were the guards he had bought for Consort Feng.

"What about the people in the Prince's hands?" Consort Feng asked, looking closely.

"If you're talking about people like Meng San, I'm afraid they still can't compare."

Consort Feng was somewhat disappointed.

"Your Highness, such people are impossible to find. They are all people of princely status, trained from childhood. Not only can you not buy them, but you can't even hire them. Even if you could, they would be extremely expensive, and you can't easily trust them."

We can't train them ourselves right now. These kinds of people can't be trained without special methods. If things go wrong, it could even backfire… For what you need to do, the two of them are enough.”

That's all.

"Have you heard about what happened in the Princess's family?" Consort Feng asked.

Zhou Dong nodded.

Facing Zhou Dong, Consort Feng felt as if she had found a pillar of support, and poured out her grievances...

"There's something else... Could you help me find a certain medicine?"

……

That very night, Li Jing returned to the backyard.

Mo Yi was unaware beforehand that she had finished showering, her hair was down, and she was wearing a shirt and pants.

Sitting at the round table in his bedroom, his bare feet rested on the stool next to him.

She was making plans for the shop in a very unseemly manner.

Now that Yunniang can finally be put to good use, that's a good thing. But the dilemma is, where will she live?

Given her status, it doesn't make much sense for her to continue living in the Mo family's residence...

"The rented courtyard is too small, how about the South City Courtyard? That's fine, but it's far, so we'd need a dedicated car. Let Song Jiaxing see if we can rent one long-term..."

What are you muttering about?

Mo Yi was startled and turned around to see Li Jing had arrived.

She quickly stood up, her feet barely touching the ground. "Your Highness, what brings you here?"

Li Jing was speechless. "Perhaps, this is my room?"

"I'm sorry, I misspoke! Your Highness, let me help you wash up, it's so hot today."

"Hmph...you haven't answered yet, what are you muttering to yourself here for?"

"I'm sorting out things at the shop. I've figured out all the accounts Zhao Mama handed in!" she said as she helped Li Jing take off her clothes.

I accompanied him into the small house next door.

Li Jing listened to her talk about this, but didn't respond.

"Your Highness...you're back now, so you're not angry with me anymore?" Mo Yi asked him cautiously.

"Angry? When did I get angry?" Li Jing looked at her in surprise.

Mo Yi blushed. "It's just... it was a few days ago, because of Mo Yuan."

"Oh...you think I'm angry."

"It's not that I think it's true, it's that you're really angry."

"Since you know I'm angry, did you do anything to calm me down?" Li Jing asked with a stern face. "Huh? I..." Mo Yi was stumped.

Seeing him angry, I felt helpless and anxious. But what did I do...? "I was afraid of provoking you again, so I didn't dare to do anything."

"Ha! If I hadn't called you from the front, you wouldn't have shown yourself... Let me think, what would an ordinary woman do in this situation..."

Mo Yi bit her lip and remained silent.

"He can speak softly and coax gently, he can make some food to please her, and he can also..." He suddenly pinched Mo Yi's leg.

Mo Yi was so startled that she gasped, only then realizing how revealing her clothes were, with her arms and legs showing.

Her face turned red, and she chuckled softly.

"What else was there..." Li Jing's voice carried a certain emotion, "Fighting at the head of the bed, making up at the foot of the bed... right?"

He pulled her over.

Mo Yi smelled the mixture of sweat and incense on his body.

My heart was pounding, and I couldn't help but move closer to him; my emotions were overwhelming.

“Speak up…” Li Jing hugged her tightly, “I feel like you don’t take me seriously!”

"Hmph..." Mo Yi buried her face in his armpit, wrapped her arms around his lower back, and mumbled, "I want to ask Your Highness, where did you get so much experience from..."

"And she whispered and coaxed him gently..." She bit him with her little teeth.

"Hiss..." Li Jing chuckled as he was bitten, and hugged her even tighter.

“Still making food… What would you like to eat? I’m hungry too…” After saying that, she took another bite of him.

Li Jing was doomed. He didn't even have time to wash himself. He hurriedly sat down and went to pull her up.

Mo Yi dodged the question, saying, "How would I know what happened between the head and foot of the bed?"

“I know, come here, I’ll tell you…” Li Jing said hurriedly, pulling her over.

This went on and on several times.

The two of them lay paralyzed on the bed, and it took them a long time to come to their senses.

Li Jing discovered that having a few minor disagreements was actually quite nice...

They slept soundly, and the next morning, the two of them ate breakfast in the house.

After chatting for a while, Mo Yi suddenly remembered Zhou Jiu's matter.

"Your Highness, there's something I need to say. If you don't like it, just pretend I never said it... Don't blame me."

"What's the matter? Why all this buildup?" Li Jing glanced at her.

"It's like this... Do you think my second brother and Miss Zhou Jiu could get together?"

Li Jing blinked twice before realizing what she meant. "What? You've only been married a short time, and you already want to be a matchmaker?"

He wasn't angry; in fact, he found it funny.

"It's like this, Miss Zhou Jiu has a very good temperament, quiet, meticulous, and gentle. Her character is also very upright. I wonder if my second brother is good enough for her."

"Hmph." Li Jing snorted: "The Zhou family is not a pragmatic family. They only care about their children's talents, but neglect the cultivation of their character and abilities. If it weren't for their abundant ancestral property, I don't know how their lives would be. The daughter-in-law they married is slightly better, but the men in the family are too stubborn. Zhou Jiu's father is especially like that, and he acts without any rules."

“Miss Zhou Jiu is quite nice,” Mo Yi said.

"She's a decent person, but she's too weak-willed. You've probably heard about Xiangxiang's mother; she only cares about romance and love... Never mind, let's not talk about her."

It's not that Zhou Jiu is bad, but her weaknesses are obvious. Mo Fan, from my observation, is a reliable and hardworking person. In a way, the two complement each other. However, if the Mo family wants a housewife, I'm afraid Zhou Jiu isn't up to the task.”

“My sister-in-law is also at home! It seems that this is how the family is getting along. With my sister-in-law around, my second brother’s wife can have some peace of mind.”

"Hmm... Find an opportunity to ask them both. If they're interested, I'll handle it."

"Really!" Mo Yi stood up excitedly and pounced on Li Jing. "Your Highness, you're so kind!"

"This king is in grave danger... This king cannot go on... Your Highness, spare me..."

"what!……"
