Chapter 127 I Don't Want It
"Miss, please eat." Chun Tao said a little embarrassedly when she saw Yan Li and the others just looking at her while she was eating.
"You eat, we are not hungry yet." Yan Li looked at her with some heartache.
Upon hearing this, Chuntao couldn't help but shed tears.
"Chun Tao, what's wrong? Is there anything else?" Yan Li looked at her with concern.
"No, I am touched, Miss. No one has ever treated me as well as you do." Chuntao said, wiping away her tears.
"Eat quickly, don't be sad. After you're full, let's go and take revenge." Yan Li patted Chuntao's shoulder.
The seven maids felt the same way when they heard this. Although they had never served anyone except Prince Xiao and Yan Li, they also knew that their young mistress was excellent.
No other lady is better than your own!
"Miss, what makes me happiest is that I was able to keep the set of jewelry from the Treasure Pavilion that you gave me, and it wasn't stolen." Chuntao said with a smile.
"Silly Chuntao, is there anything more important than life?" Yan Li looked at her disapprovingly.
"Miss, I am not trying so hard to protect the jewelry because it is valuable, but because it is a gift from you to Chuntao, and Chuntao must protect it." Chuntao said with a smile.
"Chun Tao, as a young lady of the Tao family, how come you end up being a maid in Prince Zhan's mansion?" Zi looked at her curiously.
"My mother is the original wife. The man abandoned us. When we were living on the streets, we happened to meet the Zhan Palace recruiting maids, and I was chosen.
Later, the man found my mother and took her back to the Tao family. For my mother, I had to go back." Chun Tao said.
"Since he abandoned you at the beginning, why did your mother go back later?" Zi looked at her puzzled.
"Originally, my mother thought that returning to the Tao family was a family after all, and I could resume my identity as a young lady of the Tao family and not have to be a maid for others. But after I returned, I realized that this was a trap." When Chuntao said this, her eyes were full of anger.
"Trap?" Yan Li looked at her curiously.
"Yes, it was a trap, because my fiancé came looking for us, and he turned out to be the young master who was abandoned outside Prince Ji's Mansion. In order to let Tao Rou, the eldest daughter of the Tao family, marry my fiancé Guo Yin, that man had to let us go home first." Chun Tao explained.
"Guo Yin and I were childhood sweethearts, but when he found out that I was working as a maid for someone else, he immediately abandoned me and decided to marry Tao Rou." Chun Tao continued.
"Since he wants to marry Tao Rou, he can just marry her directly. Why torture you like this?" Cheng's eyes were full of anger.
"Originally they just told me to take my mother away, but Tao Rou found out from somewhere that she also owned a set of jewelry from Zhenbao Pavilion. In order to have face by wearing the jewelry from Zhenbao Pavilion when she got married, that's when things happened." Chuntao's eyes were filled with anger when she talked about this.
"As the son of Prince Ji's Mansion, can't Guo Yin even afford a set of jewelry from the Treasure Pavilion?" Zi's eyes were full of disdain.
"The Tao family can't afford it." Chuntao smiled when she heard that.
"Chun Tao, you have suffered a lot during this period. If we had noticed something was wrong and came to see you earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much." Hong looked at Chun Tao with an apologetic look in her eyes.
"The sisters have been very nice to Chuntao, just like her own sisters. Chuntao is returning home, who would have thought it was such a dangerous place. Sister Hong, please don't blame yourself." Chuntao raised her head and looked at Hong with a smile.
"Just stay with us from now on. At least we can protect you. Just stay in Prince Zhan's Mansion when we are not around." Zi looked at Chuntao with a smile.
"Okay." Chuntao nodded.
Just when Chuntao was eating, the head of the Tao family came hurriedly with a group of people.
He was accompanied by a man and a woman. The man was Chuntao's former fiancé Guo Yin, and the woman was Tao Rou, the eldest daughter of the Tao family.
Their eyes fell on Yan Li.
When he saw Yan Li, Guo Yin secretly said something was wrong.
Although he had just returned to Prince Ji's Mansion, he still recognized Yan Li, this influential figure.
That's the person that the War King holds dear to his heart, who told him to provoke her?
"Miss Yan, my name is Guo Yin from Prince Ji's Mansion. I had the honor of meeting Miss Yan at a banquet before." Guo Yin stepped forward and greeted Yan Li.
Yan Li didn't even bother to raise his head and didn't want to pay any attention to her.
Seeing Guo Yin's attitude towards Nangong Xi, Tao Rou became anxious.
Seeing that she would be marrying into Prince Ji’s mansion soon, she couldn’t allow any more trouble.
"Brother Yin, let's take the jewelry and go quickly." Tao Rou said coquettishly to Guo Yin.
Guo Yin: …
How could Tao Rou be so stupid? Now that Yan Li is here, she is still coveting that set of jewelry from the Treasure Pavilion?
If it weren't for the Tao family's cultivation secrets, I wouldn't have married her.
"Rou'er, this is Miss Yan Liyan, the junior sister of the King of War." Guo Yin introduced.
In fact, he wanted to tell Tao Rou to forget about the set of jewelry from the Treasure Pavilion.
"Yan Li? You've learned how to seduce men at such a young age. What will happen when you grow up?" Who knew that Tao Rou looked at Yan Li with disdain.
Snapped……
As soon as Tao Rou finished speaking, Zi stepped forward and slapped her more than ten times.
When Zi threw her away in disgust, Tao Rou's originally pretty face was swollen.
"What are you doing?" Seeing Tao Rou being beaten, the head of the Tao family stepped forward angrily.
"Master Tao, if you want to live, retreat." Seeing Master Tao's actions, Guo Yin immediately reminded him.
If the head of the Tao family died or a new head of the Tao family took over, then his secret book would be lost.
But he knew very well that if the head of the Tao family dared to take another step forward, he would be beheaded immediately.
Upon hearing this, the head of the Tao family immediately took a step back.
"Do you want Chuntao's set of jewelry from the Treasure Pavilion?" Yan Li looked at the Tao family coldly.
"That's right. Her sister is about to get married. Shouldn't she give her a set of jewelry?" The head of the Tao family said as if it was a matter of course.
"What should I do? I asked King Zhan to accompany me to personally select that piece of jewelry for Chuntao. If you accept it, I will be very unhappy." Yan Li muttered.
"Since you gave it away, it belongs to Chuntao, and she has the right to dispose of that set of jewelry." Tao Rou stood up and said.
"When I'm unhappy, I like to ask my senior brother to go and talk to someone. I think Patriarch Tao would be happy to do that." Yan Li said and looked at Patriarch Tao.
When he heard that King Zhan was going to come and talk to him, Patriarch Tao shuddered all over. What good could come from asking King Zhan to come in person?
Maybe by then his Tao family would be razed to the ground.
"At worst, we just don't want that set of jewelry." The head of the Tao family said reluctantly.
It seemed as if he had suffered a great loss by saying this, but in fact he seemed to have forgotten that this set of jewelry did not originally belong to his Tao family.
"Don't you want to just let this matter go? You hurt my people and you want to let it go like this?" Yan Li's tone turned cold.
"What else do you want?" The head of the Tao family was full of anger.
