After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 201 The Plan for a Marriage Alliance

Died young.

Who could possibly resist that?

Shi Nuanyu's fingers trembled, and the teacup fell into Tao Huiyan's hands.

"Well, please make yourselves at home. I'm going to rest."

If not now, when?

I can't be caught in the middle between the two of them.

Just as she stood up, someone grabbed the belt around her waist. Shi Nuanyu looked down and saw that the other end of the belt was in Yu Changfeng's hand.

He reached out and pulled hard on the strap, but couldn't get it back.

Shi Nuanyu sat back down, both amused and exasperated. "What do you want to do?"

With his hand encircling the ribbon, he closed the distance between the two, and Yu Changfeng sat down beside him with an air of nonchalance.

"I don't want to."

Perhaps because he had drunk some alcohol, he was now feeling dizzy from the effects of the alcohol.

"Is the Crown Prince not afraid of angering his concubines at home?"

Tao Huiyan, who was standing to the side, said something like this in a low voice.

Shi Nuanyu suddenly became alert, forcefully pulled back the belt, and waited for his explanation.

How could the Crown Prince of Beilin not have concubines?

Yu Changfeng spoke calmly and frankly.

"You can certainly investigate."

His restless hand grabbed the other end of the strap again.

Changing the subject abruptly, she retorted, "Boss Tao frequents brothels all day long; his innocence is surely in jeopardy."

Tao Huiyan didn't answer but asked a question in return, her eyes clearly filled with sarcasm.

"Does the Crown Prince not know what the Beauty Pavilion does for a living?"

Seeing that the two were still arguing, Shi Nuanyu, under their surprised gazes, took their hands and put them together.

"Arguing is bad for a healthy friendship; shaking hands and making up makes us good friends."

Yu Changfeng and Tao Huiyan quickly withdrew their hands, disgustedly wiping them with handkerchiefs.

"Ugh, disgusting."

"Yes."

The smell of incense on someone was too strong, so Shi Nuanyu pinched her nose and nudged his shoulder.

"You smell really bad, go take a shower."

Yu Changfeng raised his arm, sniffed it, and stood up with disgust, not forgetting to threaten the ill-intentioned person.

"Settle down."

Even if they share a common goal, they are not so magnanimous in some ways.

Shi Nuanyu was puzzled. "What does he mean by that?"

It's mysterious and enigmatic, making it difficult for people to understand.

A strange look flashed across Tao Huiyan's eyes. "Who knows? Perhaps the Crown Prince has lost his mind."

Post station traveler.

The guest room doors were tightly shut, and several envoys knelt on the ground trembling with fear.

The Second Prince, Zhuang Wenduan, was so angry that he kicked the waiting servant several times.

"Waste, waste, waste."

The servant was kicked in the abdomen and was in excruciating pain. He curled up on the ground and endured the pain, clenching his teeth to prevent blood from spilling from his mouth.

Having vented his anger, Zhuang Wenduan sat down to rest, panting heavily.

"information."

The envoy replied tremblingly, "No news has been sent back."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes tightly, waiting in fear for the blows.

My life is over!
"idiot."

The second prince's eyes were bloodshot as he glared angrily at the kneeling men.

Useless lapdog.

If they weren't useful to us, we would have torn them to pieces long ago.

"Send a message: if he fails, I have plenty of men."

The envoy was alarmed; the second prince had remained cruel to this day, his tyrannical nature unchanged.

With such a ruler, Dongchen is destined to perish.

"As ordered."

The sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and a shadow appeared in the doorway.

The second prince's murderous intent began to rise, and he subtly made a hand gesture.

The hidden guard in the corner drew his concealed weapon.

"Is Your Majesty inside?"

Princess Fule's soft, sweet voice rang out, "Fule bought some pastries from Changji. Would Your Majesty like to try some?"

The murderous intent on the second prince's face vanished, and he waved for everyone to leave. "Brother, you've been craving Changji's pastries for a long time. Little sister, come in quickly."

The door was opened, and Fule looked at the servant being pulled out with a puzzled expression before going into the room and taking out some pastries.

"Brother, what's wrong with him?"

The strong incense in the room masked the smell of blood.

The second prince ate his pastries without answering, but casually asked a question in return.

"Did you have fun today, little sister?"

"happy."

Fule nodded emphatically, his face beaming as he began to recount his story on his fingers.

"The students at the academy are very interesting. There are many girls enrolling, and the teacher teaches things that Fule has never heard before."

Princess is very kind to Fule; she even picked Fule up from school today.

Fu Le chuckled and clung to her elder brother's arm, acting coquettishly, "Brother, would you like to stay in Nan Yue a little longer? Fu Le really likes Nan Yue."

Upon hearing the word 'princess,' a flash of murderous intent crossed the Second Prince's eyes. He tossed the pastries back into the food box, then patted the little girl's head, feigning the demeanor of a good older brother.

Did you encounter the Crown Prince of Beilin at the Tao residence today?

Fu Le's heart tightened, and he subconsciously shook his head.

“Fu Le dislikes the Crown Prince of Bei Lin. He is a bloodthirsty man who kills without batting an eye. Fu Le is afraid of him.”

The second prince's probing gaze fell on her, and he gently comforted her.

"Little sister forgot Mother's words and listened to her brother when she was away. If Dongchen and Beilin were to marry, her brother would have a chance to ascend the throne, and we would never be bullied again."

Knowing that she couldn't change her brother's mind, Fule snorted in annoyance.

"My brother no longer likes Fule."

A hint of impatience flashed in the Second Prince's eyes. "Little sister, someone must make sacrifices for the greater cause."

All she does is cry, cry, cry. She cries all day long.

"Don't be petty."

"Brother, Fule no longer likes you."

Fule's voice was trembling with tears as she mustered her courage and ran out the door.

Watching the departing figure, the Second Prince gritted his teeth and roared in anger.

"Get out here and find out who Fule met today and what he said."

His sister never disobeyed him.

Never!

Night fell, candlelight flickered in the courtyard, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves.

Shi Nuanyu yawned as she watched the two men drink.

I don't know what's wrong with him, but he won't let her go to sleep or drink alcohol.

Bored out of her mind, she stretched out her foot and kicked Tao Huiyan's calf.

"By the way, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Tao Huiyan put down her wine cup. "Your Highness, please speak freely."

Thinking about what she was going to say, Shi Nuanyu felt a little embarrassed, after all, even a princess of a country could have a situation where she was short of money.

Too many things have happened recently, and there are many places where money is needed.

Her private treasury had long been completely depleted.

She had almost used up all the money in the princess's residence, and when they went to the Ministry of Revenue to withdraw silver, they were as stingy as an old lady.

The official explanation was that the Ministry of Revenue's funds could only be used for war and national crises.

The people in the Ministry of Revenue didn't care whether she was a princess or not; they argued with her until they were red in the face, and the little silver they managed to squeeze out was simply not enough.

Shi Nuanyu smiled ingratiatingly, "I need to borrow some money from you."

Fearing he might refuse, she quickly made a promise.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely pay you back once I have the funds."

This was the first time in her two lives that she had to borrow money from someone, and it was incredibly difficult for her.

"It's just silver, I'll give it to you."

Yu Changfeng waved his hand and placed a stack of silver notes on the table.

Shi Nuanyu hesitated before pushing the silver note back, saying, "I can't accept it."

Regardless of the nature of the relationship, it's important to distinguish between them.

That's the most important point that's not enough.

Tao Huiyan, as if she had won a battle, took off the jade pendant from her waist and handed it to her.

"Your Highness has forgotten the Tao family's 20% profit."

Shi Nuanyu asked suspiciously, "Haven't we made any money yet?"

The commercial street has only been in operation for a short time; could it really be that they have money?

Tao Huiyan had no intention of hiding anything and answered sincerely, "The commercial street has not yet collected profits, but I have countless private assets, which belong to Your Highness."

"With this jade pendant, Your Highness may access my private property."

The jade pendant in her hand felt like a hot potato, burning her palms.
