Chapter 81 She Would Be Dead for Shock Sooner or Later.

After hearing what Yang Zijin had said, Qian Teng was greatly relieved. If he were charged with offending the relatives of the emperor, his whole life would be done.

Yang Zijin ignored Qian Teng who was still kowtowing. She turned to Madam Yang and said, "Bring me the title deeds of these shops."

"Yes, Your Highness." Madam Yang responded.

Then she called Xian, "Come on, come here and give the deeds to the infanta."

Yang Zijin took a few steps forward after taking them and said aloud, "Today, I accept this deed in front of the people of Jing City. In the future, if someone comes to the Blossoming Peach to cause trouble again, I will not be as merciful as I am today."

Then she looked at Qian Teng who was still kneeling on the ground.

Now that she was acting, she would make it perfect!

After she finished speaking, she headed for the Blossoming Peach, and Madam Yang followed her closely!

"Scram!" Jiang Wei said to Qian Teng and quickly followed Yang Zijin.

Qian Teng then walked out of the crowd in dejection with his face covered.

What Yang Zijin did not know was that her little move today actually made these people deeply admire her!

They gossiped behind her back about the fact that Yang Zijin was different from the royal people they had seen before. They had not seen her using her identity to suppress others. Yang Zijin's reputation had just been built!

It didn't take long for the news that Infanta Qingcheng had purchased the Blossoming Peach at a high price to be spread.

After Yang Zijin entered the backyard, Madam Yang was relieved at this moment since there were no other people, "Zijin, I was really scared just now."

"Never mind, it's not hard to see that this person is timid and overcautious." Yang Zijin looked at Madam Yang with a smile.

The adults in the amusement park took their children to have fun. They all craned their necks to peer at the backyard when they heard the news.

Yang Zijin happened to see this scene. She immediately changed her style and ordered aloud, "Call everyone in."

Then she tipped Madam Yang a wink. Madam Yang understood and saluted, "Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will call in everyone right now."

A moment later, all the people in the Blossoming Peach gathered in the backyard.

They saluted Yang Zijin orderly.

"Your Highness, everyone is here." Madam Yang stepped forward at once.

Yang Zijin nodded and looked at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei immediately understood. She coughed slightly twice and said to the people in the Blossoming Peach, "From now on, Infanta Qingcheng is your boss. It is your honor that you could work for the infanta. I hope you will try your best to do your job and be treated fairly."

"Then... Your Highness, these people are yours. I am sick recently, so I am going back." Madam Yang approached her and said again.

Yang Zijin waved her hand and agreed. Seeing that those people were still peering here and that they did not mean to disperse, she said, "The people who managed the Blossoming Peach before stay here, and the others go to work!"

Xian stepped forward, " Your Highness, what may I do for you?"

"I want to ask you about something of the Blossoming Peach. Come on in." Yang Zijin walked toward the nearest room.

After they have got into the room, Yang Zijin was relieved and said to Xian, "Sit down!"

At this moment, Xian looked awkward.

"I restored my identity to protect everyone better. Although I am now a girl, I am still your Young Master that I used to be. Don't become aloof for this. "Seeing Xian hesitated, Yang Zijin naturally knew the reason. So, she said seriously.

After listening to Yang Zijin, Xian scratched his head embarrassedly, and then sat down.

"How is Woman Flower's business going during these days?" Seeing Xian sit down, Yang Zijin was very satisfied. She knew that they need some time to accept this.

Then, Xian replied, "The Woman Flower's business seems not to be as good as before. Recently, Sister Liu also worried about this. So, she has to let the tailors stop making dresses.

Yang Zijin knew that this is because of the period of visual fatigue. It seemed that she had to figure out some new tricks to make the business better.

"What about the school and the amusement park?" Yang Zijin continued to ask.

After listening to Xian, Yang Zijin nodded. Apparently, she was satisfied.

Yang Zijin stayed here until it was getting dark. She came out of the Blossoming Peach after having the dinner, and returned to the mansion of the duke.

Yang Zijin went back to the room and stretched herself. She had finally done all these things, she breathed a sigh of relief and told Jiang Wei to let Lan prepare the bath. She was going to have a nice bath and sleep up.

Lan asked several servants to bring in the warm water. When all was ready, she walked forward. "Your Highness, the temperature of the water is just right."

"Okay, you can go." Yang Zijin said lazily.

Lan bowed to her and then left.

Then she got up and got into the bath barrel until the temperature of the water was a little cold. Then she got out, put on the underwear and walked to the bed to sit down.

Suddenly, she was hugged by a pair of big hands. Her mouth was blocked by the mouth of this person before she could scream.

At this moment, a familiar smell of ambergris entered her nose. It was Shuo Ling again. Ah...No...Wait, so it meant that he was already there when she was having the bath just now.

Thinking of this, Yang Zijin pushed Shuo Ling away, and looked at Shuo Ling in panic, "You...When...When did you come?"

"From the moment when you entered the door." Shuo Ling said simply.

"What? You are mean...You...You are shameless." Yang Zijin was shocked and her face was flushed. As expected, it was just what she thought. She pointed at Shuo Ling and condemned him.

Who knows Shuo Ling looked at Yang Zijin with a smirk, "Why do you condemn me in this way? You just didn't notice that when you came in."

"Your...Your words are overbearing!" Seeing that Shuo Ling was like this now, Yang Zijin got angry and threw the pillow beside the bed toward Shuo Ling.

Shuo Ling leaned and missed it. Before the pillow fell to the ground, he caught it nimbly.

Then he walked to Yang Zijin as if nothing had happened, put down the pillow next to her, and looked at her with a bantering look in his eyes, " I was well-intentioned to care about you, but I haven't expected that you would treat me like this."

"Care about me? It will be your best care if you don't bother me." Yang Zijin whispered and gave Shuo Ling a cold stare.

He looked at Yang Zijin's angry face, and the blush on her face had not disappeared yet. He couldn't help feeling that she was the most charming girl at this moment.

He couldn't help but hold Yang Zijin in his arms. The first thing that he wanted to do after he would have completed the great cause is to marry Yang Zijin. Now, by his means, it was not difficult to marry Yang Zijin. What he concerned about is not that their love will delay his cause. Instead, he didn't want Yang Zijin to get involved in these things.

This was why he let Yang Zijin have the "Sounding with Steps" on her in the welcoming banquet. He just wanted to be the presumptuous guest who usurped the host's role and let those who have an evil thought on Yang Zijin stop thinking of it. As for the third prince, he will find ways to make him some troubles, let him give up this idea as well.

Thinking of this, he held Yang Zijin tightly again, "Zijin, wait for me!"

Yang Zijin, who was still angry, felt dreadfully puzzled for Shuo Ling 's move! She thought she had misheard, so she asked again. "Ah? What are you talking about?"

"Go to sleep. It's not too early." Shuo Ling kissed gently on Yang Zijin's head and left this sentence behind. He jumped out of the window, and disappeared in the night.

Somehow, Yang Zijin always felt that Shuo Ling was a little weird just now, but she couldn’t tell what it was. So, she stopped thinking. She hurried to the window to close it, and checked the whole room again. Then she lay down on the bed, being assured.

Sooner or later, she would be dead for the shock from Shuo Ling, which had been done several times. Although the guard of the mansion of the duke was not as secure as the palace, it could be considered as a good one. How could it let a person get in and out of the mansion so easily and nobody knew it?

Thinking of this, Yang Zijin was puzzling. It seemed that she needed to ask Lian Sheng to change her windows and doors into the ones with machinery. Then, even if Shuo Ling would get in, she would notice the traces. The situation of today would no longer occur.

Early in the next morning, Lan walked to the window of Yang Zijin's room, called her in a low voice, "Your Highness. Your Highness."

"What's the matter?" Yang Zijin, who was in a dazed status, asked with narrowed eyes when she heard Lan call her.

Lan replied immediately, "The milord said that he had something to ask you. He was waiting for you in the study."

"Got it. I'll get up." Yang Zijin stretched herself and sat up. Of course, she knew why Duke of Mu called her.

After having washed and changed the clothes for a while, Yang Zijin walked towards the study.

Seeing Duke of Mu bending over a book, Yang Zijin spoke first, "Dad, why do you call me?"

"Qingcheng, you are here. Sit down." Duke of Mu put down his book.

Then he asked, "Has the matter of the Blossoming Peach been done yesterday?"

"Thank Dad for your concern. Everything was in order. There was nothing wrong!" Yang Zijin replied.

Then relief broke across Duke of Mu's face. He nodded with a smile. "Then I am relieved."

"Daddy knows that you hold deep feelings for the people in the Blossoming Peach. However, Qingcheng, your identity now is the infanta. Don't let them exceed the boundary of class in the face of other people!" Then Duke of Mu cautioned.

After listening to Duke of Mu, Yang Zijin couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. The Duke of Mu was always placing the reputation on the top, "Got it. If dad has no other things to ask me, will I leave first?"

Then she stood up.

Seeing Yang Zijin being a little unhappy, Duke of Mu quickly changed the subject to the main business, "Qingcheng, it will be the 80th birthday banquet of the old lady of Mansion of Grand Preceptor in two days, and you will need to attend by then."

"I know, does dad have anything else?" Yang Zijin responded.

She already knew that she would attend various banquets after restoring her identity, so she was not too surprised about what Duke of Mu had said.

"At that time, don't wear the Sounding with Steps that Marquis Shuo sent you." Duke of Mu wished to say and stopped on second thought, but he still said at last.

Yang Zijin was stunned after hearing this! How could Duke of Mu know that the Sounding with Steps was sent by Shuo Ling, and apparently at that night... Was it possible that Lan was the finger man around her arranged by Duke of Mu and she heard outside the door?

It seemed that it's time to investigate. What Yang Zijin hated most is the Janus-faced person.

Responding to Duke of Mu, she bowed slightly and left the study!

Looking at Yang Zijin 's reaction, Duke of Mu could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that his guess was right. Qingcheng had no idea of the meaning of Sounding with Steps at all.

When Yang Zijin returned to the room, she called Lan and asked directly, " Lan, you just have to tell me the truth. I won't blame you. If I find that you lie to me, I will hit you without mercy."

"Yes, Your Highness." What happened to the infanta who was always amiable today? Lan couldn't help but feel a little scared.
