Chapter 241 Conditions
"Ninth Prince."
Zhou Qingyu led his men forward and bowed.
The Ninth Prince sneered, put his hands behind his back, but did not return the greeting. He raised his chin slightly and spoke in an arrogant manner.
"Oh, I don't deserve such a great gift."
"The Zhou family is truly so arrogant that they actually allowed their evil servant to charge into my carriage and kill my white horse."
While the Ninth Prince was demanding an explanation, he was gazing at Zhou Qingyu's gentle and delicate face and graceful figure.
Knowing that Zhou Qingyu was Su An's fiancée, the Ninth Prince gave up some of his thoughts.
But it didn't stop him from looking at the other person with a frivolous look.
Su An's fiancée is indeed quite good. She is as beautiful as a flower and has a graceful figure. If she were a little more plump, she would be even more perfect.
The naked lustful look made Zhou Qingyu frown slightly.
However, Danqing killed the horse to save people and disturbed the carriage, so they were in the wrong first. She had to be patient and spoke calmly.
"Human lives are at stake, and we must act swiftly. Therefore, I hope Your Highness will forgive me for any offense. I will compensate Your Highness for all his losses."
The Ninth Prince sneered.
If an ordinary noblewoman had offended him like this, he would have simply kidnapped her under the pretext of questioning her and would not have listened to her explanations.
But Zhou Qingyu is not an ordinary aristocrat after all.
At this moment, Yan Niang suddenly whispered something to the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince listened attentively, his eyes flickering.
Then he looked at Zhou Qingyu.
"Zhou Qingyu, since you are willing to compensate me, I have a few conditions. If you agree to them, I will give Marquis Shenwei a favor and forgive your offense today."
Zhou Qingyu did not rush to agree or refuse after hearing this.
I only heard the Ninth Prince continue to speak.
"The first condition is that the Su family must compensate for all losses incurred by this palace today, and it must be a hundred times... no, a thousand times."
There was greed in the eyes of the Ninth Prince.
Although he was a prince, he was loved by his mother, and his family had various industries and income, so he was considered to be wealthy.
But in terms of financial resources, he is definitely no match for the Zhou and Su families, and he spends money extravagantly on a daily basis. If he hadn't gone to the palace to ask his mother for money every few days, he would have spent all the money in the mansion long ago.
Having encountered this kind of thing this time, how could he not ask for more compensation?
"The second condition is that for today's offense, I want you and Su An to come and apologize tomorrow."
"The third condition is that I will take away the person who bumped into my carriage and hand her over to me for disposal."
After saying this, the Ninth Prince looked at Danqing with lustful eyes, as if he was looking at a private property.
He had already begun to think about how to train this cold woman step by step so that she would eventually submit to him.
The last two conditions were proposed by Yanniang, and they were very much to his liking.
Yanniang knew that the Ninth Prince was only sixteen years old and was the youngest of the Emperor Jin's legitimate sons.
Men of this age, besides being lustful, value their reputation the most.
The second condition was that as long as Zhou Qingyu agreed, she and Su An would go to the Ninth Prince's house to apologize, which would save the Ninth Prince's face.
The third condition is to take Danqing away, which will satisfy the lust in the heart of the Ninth Prince.
But for Zhou Qingyu.
Three conditions, each more excessive than the last.
From the moment the Ninth Prince stated the second condition, Zhou Qingyu had no intention of agreeing.
It was she who ordered Danqing to take action, so it would be more appropriate for her to apologize herself.
But bringing Su An along or going to apologize in person was absolutely impossible.
As for the third condition, I cannot agree to it even more.
Putting aside the fact that Danqing and Su An had a close relationship, Zhou Qingyu would never let the Ninth Prince take her away simply because Danqing had once saved her life.
Before Zhou Qingyu could refuse, the Ninth Prince spoke again.
"I have a fourth condition."
"I want to meet the lady behind you."
The Ninth Prince looked at Zhou Qingyu's team.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look in that direction.
A pretty girl wearing a chest-length skirt and two buns was standing behind Zhou Qingyu.
“Oh, me?”
Seeing everyone looking at her, Wang Shishi was stunned, obviously not expecting this.
Qingyu asked Danqing to save people, and then had a conflict with the Ninth Prince.
She is not very good at dealing with this kind of thing, and she follows the principle of not making things worse if she can't help.
Wang Shishi just hid behind Zhou Qingyu, acting as a little invisible and watching the fun.
Originally, the Ninth Prince did not notice her, but Yan Niang mentioned it unintentionally just now.
Although the Ninth Prince had given up his thoughts on Zhou Qingyu, his heart became lively again when he saw the lovely Wang Shishi behind her.
This pretty and lovely girl has an innocent temperament, she is ignorant and pure like a white lotus.
It makes people want to defile it.
Moreover, judging from his demeanor and clothes, it is obvious that he comes from an extraordinary family. Even if he is not as good as Zhou Qingyu, he is not much worse and can barely match him.
The Ninth Prince didn't set his sights on Zhou Qingyu for Su An's sake, so there shouldn't be any problem for him to take action against this girl, right?
So the Ninth Prince added a condition, under the pretext of wanting to "get to know" her.
Zhou Qingyu took a deep breath.
"Your Highness, my sister is already in love with someone, so I'm afraid I can't do what you wish."
"As for the second and third conditions mentioned by His Highness the Ninth Prince, I cannot agree to them!"
I've heard that the Ninth Prince is always arrogant and domineering. He is even more relentless when he is right.
Not only did he fall in love with Danqing, he even fell in love with Shishi.
Naturally, she couldn't agree to any of the last three conditions.
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince, who was originally admiring Wang Shishi's slim figure, suddenly changed his expression and stared coldly at Zhou Qingyu. His face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
He thought that the four conditions he proposed were not excessive.
The first condition is that the Zhou and Su families are both very wealthy, so even a thousand times the compensation is nothing to them.
The second condition was that he was a prince, but Zhou Qingyu killed his white horse for a lowly person, disturbed his carriage, and caused him to fall unconscious in the carriage. Such a mistake could only be eliminated if she and Su An went to his house to apologize.
The third condition was that the maidservant, as the instigator of disturbing his carriage, was guilty of a heinous crime. It was only right that she be handed over to him for punishment in order to appease his anger.
Even if she had any relationship with Su An, she was at most his concubine, and it was common for high-ranking officials to exchange concubines. He didn't believe Su An would dare to turn against him over a mere maid.
The fourth condition is that he is a nobleman, and no matter how noble the girl's status is, if he appreciates her, or even if he takes the initiative to ask to get to know her, she should not refuse, it is her honor.
"Zhou Qingyu, I wanted to forgive your offense for the sake of Marquis Shenwei, but you are so shameless!"
Almost all the conditions proposed by the Ninth Prince were rejected. He felt humiliated and his blood boiled with anger.
The talks between the two sides broke down, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Yan Niang watched this scene from the side, but she was not anxious at all.
All this was as she expected.
She knew that Zhou Qingyu would definitely not agree to the Ninth Prince's request, and how could the Ninth Prince, who was usually arrogant, let it go after being offended?
A conflict is bound to break out between the two sides.
Yanniang just wanted the Ninth Prince to make a fuss.
If there is no commotion, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mediate and calm the matter down, and then make Zhou Qingyu owe him a favor?
How did she instigate the furious Ninth Prince to attack Wang Shishi?
"Capture her for me and bring her back to the palace."
The Ninth Prince pointed at Danqing and gave the order.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The followers behind the Ninth Prince agreed, and they all approached Danqing, ready to use force to abduct her.
For the Ninth Prince, kidnapping someone in the street was no big deal.
His followers were already accustomed to doing this kind of thing.
Anyway, Your Highness is a prince and has the Empress backing him up.
The most serious incident was when the Ninth Prince kidnapped and killed a noble woman in the street, but he was ultimately safe and sound under the protection of the Queen.
