stingy landlady

Chapter 259 Wang Yiyun's Peach Blossoms (1)

Manager Kobayashi chuckled:

"Miss, please don't be alarmed! I think the Fifth Young Master is facing a romantic entanglement!"

Guizhi and Xu Hong both looked at Steward Xiaolin:

"Miss Dong! Recently, one of Young Master Lin's cousins ​​has been frequently visiting Fifth Young Master!"

The Fifth Young Master has been avoiding her!

Guizhi raised her eyebrows and asked gossipily:

"What kind of woman would pursue my fifth uncle and he still couldn't refuse her? Is she beautiful or has a good personality?"

Seeing that Guizhi was indeed curious, Steward Lin continued:

"I've heard that this young lady is the daughter of the Princess Consort's sister and has been living in the Prince's residence for quite some time. It's no secret in the city that the Prince Lin frequently visits the Fifth Young Master and claims to be a close friend of his. It's hoped that those who know the Prince Lin will take good care of the Fifth Young Master!"

Lin Shizi's cousins ​​naturally knew about it, so it wasn't hard to find out! They heard that during a garden visit, this young lady was tricked and her clothes got wet.

Our Fifth Young Master happened to be there; he was wearing a long robe. He kindly lent it to this young lady to cover herself. Who would have thought that things would turn out this way, and the young lady reportedly said she wanted to repay his kindness by marrying him!

The Fifth Young Master naturally refused! He still wanted to continue his studies in the imperial examinations and didn't want to become a tool of any family! So, during the Fifth Young Master's days off, the two of them often played a game of hide-and-seek.

Guizhi asked curiously:

"They say it's hard for a man to pursue a woman, but easy for a woman to pursue a man! Is my fifth uncle so self-disciplined that he wasn't tempted by her?"

Manager Lin said:

"Fifth Young Master is a gentleman, neither of them are married, so he would never be alone with her."

After inspecting the accommodations, Guizhi nodded in approval. Exhausted from the journey, everyone went to bed early.

In the morning, Guizhi went to the academy to see Wang Yiyun, feeling refreshed. She had already found out that Wang Yiyun was off work today.

Guizhi and Xu Hong arrived at the academy gate, wondering how to find Wang Yiyun. Just then, they heard a quarrel coming from the entrance of a restaurant next to the academy. Since the two of them had nothing else to do, they thought it would be good to let Ping An go and see what was going on.

Ping An returned quickly:

"Miss! It's because the Fifth Master is being held up by a woman and can't get away."

Guizhi's curiosity was piqued. Ah! This just so happens to coincide with Wang Yiyun's stroke of good luck in love!

Gui Zhi and Xu Hong slowly walked over, and they could hear Wang Yiyun's voice:

“Miss Jiang! Men and women should not touch each other! This pulling and tugging in public is really indecent. Please let me go back to the academy to continue my studies.”

A clear female voice rang out:

"It's not impossible for Young Master Wang to return to the academy! But you must promise me one thing!"

"What is it? Please explain, Miss Jiang. If it is unreasonable, why should I agree?"

"Hmm! Young Master Wang! There are too many people here. Let's find a quiet private room and have a proper talk! Then you'll know what I want! Let's go!"

"No! Absolutely not! How can a man and a woman be alone in a room? It's improper! Absolutely not!"

"Young Master Wang! No matter what, you must come with me! Do you know how many days I've waited to find you! It wasn't until I finally caught you out looking for food!"

You absolutely have to come with me today!

Upon hearing this, Guizhi also felt that this young lady was indeed unreasonable, but she had also gone to great lengths!

Guizhi chirped crisply:

"Uncle Five!"

Wang Yiyun was overjoyed upon hearing this, and looked at Guizhi as if she were a savior from heaven:

"Guizhi! When did you arrive? Come on, come on! Your fifth uncle will take you somewhere so we can have a good talk!"

After Wang Yiyun finished speaking, she started walking towards Guizhi, but her clothes were grabbed by a pair of delicate hands, and she couldn't break free.

Wang Yiyun turned around and looked back:

"Miss Jiang! Please let go!"

Miss Jiang looked at Wang Yiyun with a smile:

"Young Master Wang! I won't let go until you agree! Where are you going? Can you take me with you?"

Guizhi asked with a smile:

"Fifth Uncle! Who is this young lady in our family? Why does she insist on coming along when we, uncle and nephew, are having a conversation?"

Wang Yiyun couldn't break free from Miss Jiang; her face flushed with embarrassment and tinged with anger.

"Miss Jiang! We are complete strangers! Why are you getting entangled with me? Let go of me at once!"

Miss Jiang stubbornly refused to let go, and the smile on her face vanished.

"Young Master Wang! It was your actions that violated etiquette and law, which made me a laughingstock among the sisters. Now you accuse me of pestering you!"

Can't you be reasonable?

As Ms. Jiang spoke, tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.

Upon seeing Miss Jiang's tears, Wang Yiyun's heart softened again, and he whispered:

“Miss Jiang! Why did you suddenly start crying? I didn’t say anything! I just…”

When Wang Yiyun stammered, Miss Jiang burst into laughter through her tears.

"Young Master Wang! I just want to talk to you alone and clear things up. Besides, I don't mind if your family is here."

Gui Zhi coughed twice:

"Ahem! Fifth Uncle! Miss Jiang! Let's find a place to sit down together! Hmm! I just don't know if Miss Jiang would mind?"

Miss Jiang was very happy. She let go of Wang Yiyun, quickly stood next to Guizhi, took Guizhi's hand, and said while nodding:

“I don’t mind! It’s a pleasure to meet you! My name is Jiang Chuxin. If you call him Fifth Uncle, then you are Young Master Wang’s niece!”

Guizhi nodded and said:

"Hello, Miss Jiang! My name is Wang Guizhi! It's a pleasure to meet you! Shall we find a quiet place to talk properly?"

Wang Yiyun watched as the two girls quickly became friends, smiled, shook her head, and greeted Xu Hong:

"Brother Xu Hong! Did you come with Guizhi?"

Xu Hong bowed to Wang Yiyun:

"Fifth Master!"

"No! Brother Xu Hong! Just call me Fifth Brother or Yi Yun! I'm not some master or young master!"

"Fifth Master! Etiquette cannot be disregarded! You are Miss's fifth uncle, so it is proper for me to address you as Fifth Master!"

"No, no, no! Let's each address each other separately! I'm still so young, I can't let Brother Xu Hong make me sound old! Hahaha!"

"Let's go! Let's go to Piaoxianglou for dinner."

The group boarded a carriage and headed to Piaoxianglou in a grand procession. Although it was still early before lunchtime, they requested a private room, asked the innkeeper to serve tea, and then sat down to chat.

Seeing that Guizhi and Xu Hong were both there, Wang Yiyun then spoke to Jiang Chuxin:

"Miss Jiang! There are no outsiders here, so please speak your mind! I hope that after you've said what you want to say, you won't keep sending people to ambush me. I have my pride too, alright!"

Jiang Chuxin rolled her eyes and said:

"Hmph! You think I wanted this? It's all because of you! That day you kindly draped your clothes over me, ostensibly to help me out of a predicament, but actually you only added to my troubles!"

Wang Yiyun was puzzled:

"My intention was to prevent Miss Jiang from making a fool of herself, how did I end up causing her trouble instead?"
