Home/ There’s A Beauty / Chapter 50 (Part 1)

You Shu used pastry scraps to lure the little turtle lying in the lotus pond to the shore, and then lifted up the hem of his clothes, trying to fish it out. “Hey, fifth brother, what are you doing?” Zhao Yulin hastily stepped forward to stop him.

“I want to take the little turtle back to raise. Why, can’t I? If not, I’ll buy it.” He took out a fifty-two silver bill from his purse as he spoke, with a very bold gesture. Regardless of his previous life or this life, he has no concept of money, and often does things like extravagantly throwing money away without blinking an eye, making people look at him foolishly.

Zhao Yulin stared at his bulging purse, feeling envious in his heart, thinking that no wonder Zhao Yusong wanted to punish this kid, because he might not like the way he spends money lavishly. The current Zhao family is really not as good as before. Although it can’t be seen on the surface, their situation is very poor. He doesn’t even need to mention how the fourth and fifth house are struggling, but it’s been three months since the two houses were able to pay the servant’s wages.

Looking at the big house again, Zhao Zhizhou was doing business outside, spending too much money, Mrs. Wang called the shopkeeper of Jinyi Pavilion to her house everyday to buy clothes, and looking at You Shu, everything he wore was exquisite and expensive, standing under the sun shining with gold, he looked really dazzling.

What’s even more hateful is that the big house doesn’t have to bear the family budget, even if they have money, it can’t be returned to the public, so they are living a comfortable life!

The more Zhao Yulin thought about it, the angrier he became, and the guilt he felt just now disappeared. He was afraid that You Shu would really jump in the lotus pond and get himself covered in mud, so he coaxed him and said that the shopkeeper would help him fish it out after dinner, and it wouldn’t cost money.

As soon as You Shu heard that there was no need for money, he took back the bank notes, and the eyes of the old madam who happened to arrive were so greedy. This young Master Zhao really has a rich family background, he can even spend fifty taels of silver on a turtle, so what if it is my girl… She was secretly happy, and hurriedly led the boy into the pavilion for a meal. He gave the girls a wink, telling them not to miss the opportunity.

A group of women with heavy make-up came in with trays, saying provocative words while arranging the dishes, and bumped You Shu with their elbows or buttocks from time to time. But You Shu is a perplexed person, his eyes are only fixed on the food, and the tip of his nose twitched because of the fragrance, he never looked at other people, nor spoke to them.

Zhao Yulin rubbed his forehead, his cousin has not grown up yet, if he wants to turn him into a waste and a full-fledged playboy, he doesn’t know how much thought it will take! After thinking about it, he thought again: It is easy to learn bad and difficult to learn good. He just needs to lead him into the circle, maybe he won’t be able to hold himself back.

Thinking of this, his mood eased, and he remembered the stunning beauty mentioned by the old madam before, and hurriedly asked, “Didn’t you say that you have received a new girl, bring her here for the young master to see, if you really didn’t exaggerate, I will immediately accept her!”

The old madam looked distressed, “Second young master, I just went to see her and found out that my girl has rubella(red rashes) today, so it’s not possible to come out to meet guests. Why don’t you come back another day? You also know that if you get rubella, you can’t even get sunburned. If she is not careful, she may accidentally pass on her illness to others. If something happens to you and young master Zhao, this slave won’t be able to afford it!”

Hearing this, Zhao Yulin stopped thinking about it and just ordered the girls around him to take good care of You Shu.

The old madam secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that the second son of the Zhao family is easy to fool, if it were someone else, he might really go to his girl’s boudoir(dressing room) to take a look. She doesn’t know if her luck is good or bad, but such a peerless beauty has taken the initiative to throw herself into her door. If she brings her to a benefactor, it will surely bring a lot of money for her. But there is also a dissonance, that is, she has a particularly stubborn temper, and only entertains the guests she likes, and refuses to show her face to others.

Moreover, her criteria for selecting guests is very strict, they must be of high status and authority, have an extraordinary background, and also have a handsome appearance. Even if you look at Xia Qi in whole, you can’t find ten such nobles. The old madam was also very worried, and wanted to force her, but was afraid of ruining her beautiful face, so she had to slowly coax her.

Today, although this young master Zhao is not considered high-ranking and powerful, he is also of extraordinary background with a handsome appearance, so he should be worthy of her, right? However, she glanced over and laughed at him for being a half-grown boy with no hair, so she just shrugged it off.

The old madam was very angry, and she thought that she must teach this damn girl a lesson tonight!

When You Shu was eating in the backyard, the Ninth Prince had already arrived at Yanliu Lane, and was looking for someone one by one. When he knocked-down the house, he saw a group of ferocious officials, they were startled at first, and then saw them pulling out their steel knives, intending to kill them. They immediately knelt down and kowtowed for mercy, with tears and snot all over their faces.

The Ninth Prince’s eyes turned red, and he searched the whole yard and then went to the previous yard again, but it turned out that even the gods and Buddha wanted to block him. When they found some of these houses, they met a few high officials of the imperial court by chance, which made them lose their souls and their livers and gallbladders were broken. They knelt down naked in the courtyard and begged His Highness the Ninth Prince for mercy.

Xue Wangjing wanted to persuade him but dared not, so he had to follow behind him to clean up the mess.

A group of people searched five or six brothels in a row, and when they were about to leave, they bumped into Zhao Yusong who was rushing there. They don’t know what Zhao Yusong was thinking, even after being abandoned by the Ninth Prince, he didn’t go away, and even took the initiative to move closer to him. At this moment, both new and old hatred surged up, and the Ninth Prince strode over, grabbed him by the throat and asked coldly, “Where is You Shu? Since you know he is in Yanliu Lane, you must have schemed for him to come here? Do you really think I am easy to fool? You Shu came to the capital for the first time, how could he know such a place full of filth and dirt, residing deep in the streets and back alleys? Someone must have arranged it on purpose.

He continued to apply pressure, as if he would strangle someone to death if he didn’t say anything. Zhao Yusong’s face turned purple, his eyeballs protruded, his tongue was exposed, and he was about to die. He never expected that the Ninth Prince could actually kill him. Could it be that their relationship with each other for more than ten years is not as good as that of Zhao Youshu who he has only known for less than a day?

However, no matter how unwilling he was, he still wanted to save his life. Holding his last breath, he hissed, “Your Highness, please forgive me. The fifth brother is here. He is in the that green building , just turn a corner in front!”

The Ninth Prince was still choking him and dragging him forward. If he couldn’t find You Shu today, he will directly take Zhao Yusong back to the Eastern Palace to be skinned! Xue Wangjing looked at his old friend who was dragged to the ground, with disheveled hair, torn clothes, and a circle of purple marks on his neck, and sighed in his heart: We are all of the same clan, why would you make such a fuss, hurting both others and yourselves. If Young Master Zhao has really been dirtied by someone today, I am afraid that His Highness the Ninth Highness will wash Yanliu Lane with blood.

Thinking of this, he helplessly supported his forehead and sighed silently, while a group of guards had already guarded the passages in Yanliu Lane, strictly prohibiting entry and exit.

The Ninth Prince walked like a tiger, and soon arrived at that green building. He was about to kick the door open, but hesitated. He threw away Zhao Yusong, carefully smoothed out the creases on his clothes, and fixed the crown, before restraining his anger and knocking on the door.

Knock knock, the rhythm is slow and light, and the previous anger completely disappeared. Even if he was so angry that he wanted to kill, as long as he thought that his most beloved boy was inside, who is still so innocent, he dared not show any dissatisfaction and anger, just for fear of frightening him.

“Is this king looking okay?” While waiting for someone to answer the door, he took the time to ask, seeing Zhao Yusong retreating furtively, he ordered the guards to catch him and gag him.

Xue Wangjing nodded twitchingly as he looked at His Highness Ninth Prince who was still violent one moment, but calm the next moment. His Highness’s expression is a little abnormal, even more violent than in the past. How can there be half a sage of the reincarnation of the Emperor Zongsheng? If he sits on the throne, wouldn’t he be a tyrant?

Thinking about it this way, there is an eighty to ninety percent possibility, which made Xue Wangjing even more frightened.

While thinking wildly, the door opened, and a dwarf less than three feet tall came to greet him, “Guests, please come inside.” With just one glance, he could see that these people were either rich or noble, so he didn’t ask them why they came here.

“Is young master Zhao here?” Because his heart was full of anxiety, the Ninth Prince’s voice was particularly deep and rough. Seeing that the guards were escorting Zhao Yusong to follow him, he waved his hand to let them stay. Both Xue Wangjing and the commander of the guards are highly skilled in martial arts, and it is enough for them to follow.

“There are indeed two young masters from the Zhao family. They are having a meal in the backyard. This way.” The dwarf thought that these people were old acquaintances of them, so he led them over spontaneously.

The closer he got to the backyard, the faster the Ninth Prince’s footsteps became, and the eyes were also blazing. Xue Wangjing shrunk his shoulders and clutched his chest, really afraid to see the next scene. What if Young Master Zhao is already upside down in the room like those officials before?

What would His Highness do? Would he kill Young master Zhao to vent his anger? Will he regret it? Can I and Master Ao (the commander of the guards) hold on? Xue Wangjing’s brain was throbbing, and he didn’t dare to think about it anymore.

At the same time, the Ninth Prince also guessed in his mind what You Shu was doing, and his eyes gradually became bloodshot.

The girls’ sweet voices came from the front, and the dwarf didn’t dare to go in, fearing that he would spoil the good mood of the nobleman, so he pointed to the path surrounded by flowers and said, “Masters, just bypassing the rockery is the lotus pond. The two young masters of the Zhao family are in the lotus pond. They are having dinner in the octagonal pavilion next to it, you can go on your own, this little one will leave.”

The Ninth Prince snorted softly as a response, and instead of speeding up his pace, he stopped, rubbed his stern face vigorously, so that he would not look so scary, and then continued on.

When Xue Wangjing saw that even on the verge of rage, His Highness couldn’t bear to use his cruelest side to meet Young Master Zhao, he couldn’t help but admire him. It seems that as long as Mr. Zhao is here today, Yanliu Lane will not be bloody. When he thought this way, he was not entirely optimistic. Maybe Young Master Zhao would not die, but other people might not be able to survive the day.
