Chapter 117: Being arrogant due to favor
Zhao Yefan put on his clothes and ran out of the room, but was stopped by a waiter who told him that the woman who had drunk with him last night saw that he was drunk and clamored for a woman to accompany her, so she helped him call a prostitute to sleep with him for the night.
After hearing what the guy said, he asked him to repeat it again in disbelief. He got the same answer and couldn't help but get angry.
If he hadn't picked up the coral earring on the pillow, he would have been deceived by Su Muxue.
Zhao Yefan thought of thousands of possibilities, but he never thought that Su Muxue would turn against him after sleeping with him, planning to deceive him and run away.
It was obvious that he wanted to completely deny what happened between them, and everything that happened to him in the room just now, worrying about Su Muxue, seemed like a joke.
Zhao Yefan knew that Su Muxue had given the token to Chunyun last night, and she definitely could not return to the palace at this moment, and must be in Su Yi's mansion. He then clenched Su Muxue's earrings in his hand, and ran to Prince Yi's mansion angrily to settle the score with Su Muxue.
Zhao Yefan walked towards Su Muxue step by step. Su Muxue looked at his angry eyes and couldn't help but feel a little scared. She smiled and said, "We can talk about it if we have something to discuss. Don't get so close to me."
Zhao Yefan walked to Su Muxue, grabbed her hand, held the earrings in his hand in front of her, and asked sternly: "Can you explain to me why your earrings appeared on my pillow last night?"
In the main hall of the General's Mansion, Mu Jin was discussing with Eleven and Qing'er about leaving the capital for Nangong Divine Sect in a few days.
Mu Jin knew that ever since she divorced Su Yuntian, Su Yu was afraid that she would leave the capital and would not be able to control Mu Weihou, so he must have sent people to watch her movements near the general's mansion.
Mu Jin said to Qing'er, "This time, Eleven and I will go to Nangong Divine Sect. You stay in the General's Mansion and wait for me to come back."
Tears welled up in Qing'er's eyes: "Miss, just let me go. I can serve you along the way."
Mu Jin smiled and said, "I have lived in the valley for more than a year. I have lived well even without you."
"Miss, just take Qing'er with you."
Mu Jin slightly tightened her lips: "The emperor will not let me leave the capital easily. As my personal maid, you stay in the capital. What you have to do every day is to go out regularly and let those who are watching me mistakenly think that I am still in the capital."
"I understand. What should I do?"
Mu Jin said, "I'll talk to you after we leave the house."
Qing'er nodded. Although she was still sad about not being able to leave Beijing with Mu Jin, she finally stopped crying.
Eleven and Qing'er said, "I will do my best to take care of the young lady's safety, don't worry."
Qing'er nodded. She seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but ask Mu Jin.
"Then King Yi wants to see you, can't I tell the truth?"
Mu Jin thought of that annoying Su Yi and couldn't help but have a headache. She thought for a moment and said, "No."
"But I'm afraid I can't hide it from King Yi. He's not easy to deceive."
Mu Jin also knew that Su Yi was a difficult person to deal with. He could guess about 70% of what she was going to do before she even said it. It was really not easy to deceive him. After thinking about it, she decided to find a way to hide it from Su Yi herself.
In the dining hall of Prince Yi's mansion, Su Muxue looked at the coral earring in Zhao Yefan's hand with astonishment on her face.
This earring and the whole set of jewelry are made of coral and were given to her by Su Yi on her birthday. She has always loved them and often wears them on weekdays.
Today, on the way to Prince Yi's palace, she discovered that one of them was missing, and she was depressed for a long time because of this.
Su Muxue responded and said stubbornly: "Who said this earring belongs to me? There are earrings like this everywhere on the street. It was clearly the one I gave you last night when you were yelling for a woman. It fell off from you~and your thing. Don't wrongly accuse me."
"Su Muxue, you did that yourself, and yet you still dare to accuse me of having an affair with another woman? Do you know that the set of coral jewelry you received on your birthday was chosen by me and King Yi together in Shuyu Tower?"
"That coral is from Ryukyu. Because it is difficult to collect and the journey is long, Shuyulou spent tens of thousands of gold to buy it. There is only one set of this treasure in the whole capital and even in Dongyue. Tell me, which courtesan has such financial resources to buy this coral jewelry worth tens of thousands of gold?"
Zhao Yefan had said this, and it was impossible for Su Muxue to continue to quibble. She forcefully pulled away Zhao Yefan's hand, took a few steps away from Zhao Yefan, and said guiltily.
"Okay, I admit that I paid that guy to cheat you. I was drunk last night and bullied you. What do you want?"
Zhao Yefan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Su Muxue admit it. He snorted coldly, "This prince also wants to know what you want."
Su Muxue glanced at Zhao Yefan, whose eyes were red with anger, and tentatively stretched out a finger and asked, "One thousand taels."
Seeing Su Muxue stretching out a finger to indicate one thousand taels, Zhao Yefan's face became more suspicious. When he reacted, he couldn't help but clench his teeth tightly, his chest heaving rapidly, and the anger in his heart seemed to be about to explode.
Su Muxue was also frightened by Zhao Yefan's appearance, and she said hurriedly.
"Don't worry, just tell me how to compensate you. I will give you everything I have. We are all adults, and we were drunk and did it unconsciously. Just treat it as a dream. When you wake up, just pretend nothing happened."
Zhao Yefan laughed in anger, his eyes were red, staring at Su Muxue, gritting his teeth and saying, "Okay, okay, okay! Su Muxue, you are really amazing! This prince used to think that you were a princess of a country, spoiled since childhood, and a little bit spoiled, but it's nothing. Now it seems that you are more than spoiled, you are simply lawless! And~"
Zhao Yefan "returned" for a long time, but he couldn't say those unpleasant words. His mouth was naturally poisonous. Not to mention other people, his father, who was a Duke, was always furious at the words he said.
But even at this moment, when he was so furious, he still couldn't bear to say those harsh words to Su Muxue and hurt her feelings.
He stared at Su Muxue with red eyes for a long time before he suddenly turned around and ran out of Prince Yi's Mansion, leaving Su Muxue standing in the dining hall in panic.
