My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 374 - 248 Yiren’s Farewell

The son of Marquis Jingyang, at the banquet, had his head cracked open with a wine pot by the Princely Heir of King Han.

But it was his own fault.

With the Happy Building temporarily closed, these people had no place to play, so the Princely Heir specially invited them to the Drunken Moon Building for some excitement.

Yet the son of Marquis Jingyang had the audacity, at the banquet hosted by the Princely Heir of King Han, to say that King Han was afraid of Li Xuanjing.

It was clear to all that the death of the Happy Building's shopkeeper was surely orchestrated by King Han.

But these words should only be known in one's heart, how could they be spoken aloud, and in front of the Princely Heir of King Han no less?

Everyone knows the Princely Heir likes to save face; isn't this publicly slapping him in the face?

Those who caused the Princely Heir to lose face usually didn't end well.

The young man threw away the broken wine pot, took the handkerchief passed to him from the side, and wiped the stains of wine and blood on his hands. He didn't even glance at the son of Marquis Jingyang and said indifferently, "Get lost."

The son of Marquis Jingyang, holding his head, apologized repeatedly before leaving.

A servant hurried in, knelt on the ground, picked up the fragments, and cleaned up all the traces.

The Princely Heir of King Han smiled, as if nothing had happened, and said to everyone, "Why are you all so quiet? Eat, eat. These dishes are delivered from Sinong Si; you can't usually taste them..."

As his voice fell, the atmosphere in the room became lively again.

The goods from Sinong Si were specially provided for the royal family, which they indeed could not usually taste.

While dining and drinking, everyone chatted and laughed, tacitly avoiding the earlier incident.

After the feast, the Princely Heir of King Han said with a smile, "Happy Building is closing for ten days due to some reasons. After ten days, I'll invite you all to play again. Be sure to come..."

Upon hearing this, everyone responded.

"Certainly, certainly."

"The food today was really delicious. If not for the Princely Heir, we would never have had the chance to taste such delicacies."

"That's right; the stuff from Sinong Si isn't something just anyone can get their hands on."

"Not just the food, but the wine at the Drunken Moon Building is also unique to Chang'an..."

...

These great figures, usually chased after for flattery, are now praising others to the utmost.

The Princely Heir of King Han loved face, well-known in the circles of Chang'an's nobility.

As long as enough face was given to the Princely Heir, everything was negotiable. If they encountered any difficulties in the past, the Princely Heir would eagerly lend a hand.

But if you didn't give face to the Princely Heir, the son of Marquis Jingyang was a prime example.

Everyone knew that the closure of Happy Building was due to a report, and the identity of the reporter was something even the King Han Mansion could not suppress.

But such words should remain in one's heart.

Despite some hiccups at the start, the banquet still ended in a harmonious atmosphere.

After everyone had dispersed, the Princely Heir of King Han sat in the pavilion, his smile gradually fading, his expression turning calm, absentmindedly twirling an empty wine glass in his hand.

After a moment, he seemed to talk to himself, "Lin Ting, do you think my father's Eldest Prince is too incompetent? A mere sixth-rank official managed to get on top of the King Han Mansion?"

By his side, a young man shook his head, "You can't say that, Princely Heir. You shouldn't just look at his official rank. Although he's only sixth-rank, behind him, there is a formidable father..."

The Princely Heir of King Han slammed the wine glass onto the table and said, "It's precisely because of Li Xuanjing. I bore the previous incident, but does he really think King Han Mansion is so easy to bully, repeatedly causing trouble for Happy Building?"

Happy Building was more than just a moneymaker for King Han Mansion.

Happy Building ensnared countless officials and nobles; the impact of this affair was profound.

It was King Han Mansion's property; unable to protect its guests, it had to face punishment from the court.

After this incident, there likely wouldn't be many officials who would dare to enter Happy Building in broad daylight.

That young man poured himself a cup of wine and said, "In my opinion, he's not specifically causing trouble for King Han Mansion, but for the court officials. He is a Law Practitioner, and for Legalism, punishing officials yields greater benefits..."

The Princely Heir of King Han curled his lips, "The son of a grand traitor practices Legalism, ironically enough. If he truly wishes to practice Legalism, the first he should capture is his father, Li Xuanjing. The crimes of those officials combined probably don't amount to even one-tenth or one-twentieth of Li Xuanjing's..."

He looked at the young man beside him and asked, "You're full of cunning ideas, help me think, how can I get even?"

The young man was taken aback and said uncertainly, "Does the Princely Heir really want to stir up trouble with him?"

Prince Han's Princely Heir frowned and asked, "What, can't I provoke him?"

Knowing his personality, the young man did not directly answer the question, but instead said, "The Princely Heir can certainly provoke him, only, even if you wanted to do something, it's best to keep it covert. Otherwise, things could get very troublesome."

Prince Han's Princely Heir's eyebrows quirked up and he asked, "Do you have a method?"

After thinking for a moment, the young man said, "That Li Nuo is a Legalism practitioner. There are plenty of ways to deal with Legalism. If Your Highness really wants to take revenge, I indeed have a method..."

Li Mansion.

With a promotion and vacation to boot, good things really come in pairs.

Having not been at work for several days, Li Nuo's life had returned to its most comfortable state.

Every day, he woke up with either Jiaren or Anning, taught Jiaren swordsmanship in the morning, then cultivated with her, accompanied Anning shopping in the afternoon, and if he felt like it, he'd buy some groceries from the market and cook personally—their life was plain and comfortable, yet full of charm.

It was just that he could no longer manage the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.

According to Phoenix, business at the Jade Sound Pavilion had improved a lot these past few days.

The large brothels in Chang'an had been ordered by the court to close for rectification, leaving their patrons with nowhere to go, so naturally, a pure music venue like the Jade Sound Pavilion saw an increase in business.

In an environment of such intense internal competition, it was truly commendable that the Jade Sound Pavilion had managed to stick to being a pure music workshop.

In the courtyard, Li Nuo was teaching Jiaren a new set of swordsmanship when a figure walked in from outside.

Li Nuo showed a look of surprise; it had been a long time since Yiren had visited the Li Family.

Li Nuo didn't know where he had offended her.

Looking at her now, had her anger subsided?

From his past experience, Yiren was the easiest to appease, even easier than Anning. The fact that she had been angry for so long this time was indeed unexpected for him.

Under Li Nuo's gaze, Song Yiren approached him and Song Jiaren, saying, "I have already returned that pair of jade Ruyi to Grandmother."

Li Nuo was somewhat astounded; this was the first time she had admitted to these matters.

Then, she looked at Song Jiaren and said, "Those paintings of yours were stolen by me as well. I've put them in your room at home. Remember to get them the next time you go back to the Song Family."

She took a deep breath and said, "For stealing so much from you, I'm sorry."

Li Nuo looked at Yiren; she seemed a bit strange today.

Yiren gazed at Li Nuo, hesitated for a moment, and then took out a delicate wooden box from her sleeve. There was a hint of reluctance in her eyes, but in the end, she placed it on the table, saying, "I'm returning your belongings to you."

After a final glance at Li Nuo and Song Jiaren, she tightened the small bundle on her back and said, "I am going back to the Sanqing Sect. I'm very sorry for the trouble I've caused these days... I wish you happiness."

She tried to leave behind a smile, but her tears could not be stopped.

She turned around swiftly; as she did, tears still fell.

With determined steps, she left, and Li Nuo's outstretched hand paused in mid-air.

Hearing that Yiren was returning to the Sanqing Sect, his first feeling was reluctance.

He instinctively wanted to retain her but could not find a reason.

He subconsciously looked at Phoenix.

Just before he turned to Phoenix, she had already chased after Yiren.

But even after chasing to the doorway, and then along the street for a distance, she did not catch a glimpse of Yiren.

With no other choice, she turned back.

At the corner of the street ahead, a figure slowly emerged.

Song Yiren looked in one direction, her heart barely whispering.

Goodbye.

Never to meet again.
