Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 332 - 234: Monkey Wine

Why didn’t Yao Su mention Su Qianqian?

Did she forget?

Or are there other motives?

Zhao Yi looked in the direction of the main gate, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

His intuition told him.

Yao Su is hiding information regarding Su Qianqian, and it’s definitely not simple.

"Send someone to the Imperial Clan Court, and have them throw Su Qianqian out of the city."

Zhao Yi said while standing up from his chair.

His matters were already taken care of.

It just so happens he has some free time coming up, might as well go see what Yao Su is planning.

With that thought, Zhao Yi said to Linglong, "I’m heading out for a bit, you handle things at the Crown Prince’s Mansion."

Linglong, being extremely intelligent,

immediately understood his plan as soon as she heard Zhao Yi’s words.

Linglong nodded and said, "Rest assured, Your Highness, I guarantee the Crown Prince’s Mansion will be safe."

Zhao Yi nodded and started walking out.

At that moment, Little Poison suddenly blocked her way.

Little Poison excitedly said, "Master, is there some excitement to watch? I want to go with you!"

Zhao Yi pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, you can come with me."

Zhao Yi wasn’t sure what secrets Su Qianqian held, so he brought Little Poison, just in case.

Little Poison is the number one poison master in the world.

Given time, she could even poison those "gods" in the Spirit Realm.

On hearing Zhao Yi was taking her out, Little Poison cried out in joy.

"Master, wait a moment, I’m going to grab something!"

After saying this, Little Poison quickly ran towards the back yard.

Black Stripe had been watching her from the side.

Seeing Little Poison running toward the kitchen, it suddenly barked loudly, and chased after her with flying speed.

Chasing while barking.

Zhao Yi shook his head, at a loss with these lively ones.

Zhao Yi originally kept those spirit beasts from West Mountain as pets.

Unexpectedly, during the previous chaos in the Capital City, these spirit beasts could actually fight for the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

Especially Black Stripe, which played a major role at a crucial time.

Thus, Zhao Yi could no longer treat them just as pets.

After returning, Zhao Yi upgraded the treatments of these spirit beasts to the level of "benefactors," considering them his retainers, even closer than Linglong, the Chief Historian.

As long as they don’t tear down the Crown Prince’s Mansion, no one really dares to meddle with them.

Soon, Little Poison ran back from the backyard, giggling.

As she ran, she urged Zhao Yi to hurry up.

Zhao Yi paused for a moment, then saw a flash of golden light pass behind Little Poison.

Just as he was about to see what it was, a golden-haired monkey appeared in front of him.

The Golden-haired Monkey was wearing specially tailored children’s clothes.

Maybe there was enough money involved.

Though it was a monkey wearing the clothes, the outfit was well-fitted.

The Golden-haired Monkey stood on two feet, scratching its head, pointing towards Little Poison’s escape direction, chattering away.

Zhao Yi couldn’t understand a word of the monkey’s chattering.

Little Poison wasn’t there.

Oh well.

If Little Poison was there, she’d probably be making some crazy translations again. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Better if she’s not here.

Zhao Yi carefully observed the Golden-haired Monkey’s actions, tentatively asking, "Are you trying to say that Little Poison stole something from you, and want me to set things right for you?"

After hearing that, the monkey’s eyes lit up.

Then it clasped its paws in a fist, mimicking the manner of someone reporting a grievance at the government office, bowing repeatedly to Zhao Yi.

Linglong, watching this scene from the side, couldn’t help but marvel, clicking her tongue in surprise.

She asked Zhao Yi in amazement, "Your Highness, you can actually understand what the monkey is saying?"

"I can’t understand it!"

Zhao Yi shook his head, helplessly saying, "I just understand Little Poison. That little thing is almost becoming a problem at the Crown Prince’s Mansion! Now that someone came with a complaint, it must be because she caused trouble again."

Linglong was immediately caught between laughter and tears.

Zhao Yi waved his hand at the scratching Golden-haired Monkey, saying seriously, "I understand what you mean. You go back first. I’ll find Little Poison and have her return what she stole from you!"

After saying this, Zhao Yi said grumpily, "That little thing really needs a lesson, otherwise she’ll become unruly!"

The Golden-haired Monkey, seeing that Zhao Yi accepted its complaint, was thrilled and bowed repeatedly to him, hoping the grand lord would stand up for it.

Zhao Yi found it both amusing and frustrating.

Based on the monkey’s reaction, it’s clear that Little Poison wasn’t a first-time offender.

Who knows what that little thing did to push the monkey to the point of making a royal complaint.

Zhao Yi waved his hand, signaling the Golden-haired Monkey to go back, then casually said goodbye to Linglong and headed out directly.

Since he was going to watch a public scuffle, Zhao Yi neither brought his imperial carriage nor allowed guards to follow him, looking forward to a bit of incognito observation.

Upon leaving, Zhao Yi spotted Little Poison hiding in the corner of a street.

Seeing only Zhao Yi, without the Golden-haired Monkey following, Little Poison let out a sigh of relief and then cheerfully walked over holding a jar.

Looking at the jar, Zhao Yi frowned, "What did you take from the Golden-haired Monkey? It’s almost in tears; hurry and give it back!"

Little Poison sneakily glanced towards the Crown Prince’s Mansion, and seeing that the Golden-haired Monkey didn’t follow her, her face broke into a wide smile.

Like it was a treasure, Little Poison cradled the jar in her arms and said with a mischievous grin, "This is the Golden-haired Monkey’s treasured Monkey Wine, the best-tasting jar it has! It’s the monkey’s last jar, hidden in West Mountain for years that I couldn’t find. I saw it secretly taking it out and, well, borrowed it!"

Some "borrow" that was!

Glancing at the worn jar in Little Poison’s arms, Zhao Yi shook his head, "If the monkey regards this wine as a treasure, you should return it. You’re friends, don’t let this small issue turn into a falling out."

Little Poison didn’t answer immediately, instead remarking offhandedly, "Master, isn’t it more fun to have some food and drink while watching a show?"

Hmm?

Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow, unsure of Little Poison’s meaning.

Little Poison continued, "Those two women both hold grudges against you, Master. If they start to fight, it’ll definitely be more interesting than a theater! And wouldn’t it be perfect with a jar of fine wine?"

True enough!

Surprised, Zhao Yi shot Little Poison a glance, looking at her in a new light.

Learning the right things is tough; picking up bad habits is swift.

This little thing was sly and mischievous, not sure from whom she learned.

Nonetheless.

She did make some valid points.

Zhao Yi cleared his throat, sternly saying, "This is something the Golden-haired Monkey treasures greatly. Don’t take its empty jars next time!"

Empty jar?

Little Poison glanced at the wine jar in her arms. Clearly full, why would Master call it empty?

Hmm?

Suddenly, Little Poison blinked, her eyes lighting up in realization.

Ah, this would work!

"Understood!"

Little Poison nodded vigorously, promising, "Master can rest assured. I’ll return this to the monkey right away and won’t steal its empty jars anymore!"

"A child can be taught!"

Satisfied, Zhao Yi nodded and waved to Little Poison, heading out the city gates.

The people from the Imperial Clan Court had already thrown Su Qianqian’s maid Xiaocui into the woods outside the city.

According to reports from spies, Yao Su had also left the city not long ago.

Yao Su seemed to have some sort of connection with Su Qianqian.

After leaving the city, she made straight for the small woods Su Qianqian was in!

Two women entering a small forest for a brawl?

Now that’s a plot Zhao Yi enjoyed watching!
