Chapter 304: This Third Prince Is Quite Interesting
Qin Wanwan’s eyes darted around, “Oh, Lang Ya, could you go buy some food?”
Lang Ya: Buying food is no problem, but I inexplicably find that lad very unpleasant.
He gave Ji Runze a chilling glance before turning to leave.
Lang Ya never disobeyed any of Qin Wanwan’s orders.
“I’ll bring the flowers over very quickly, you have to help me sell them.”
“Where is your mother?”
Ji Runze: “In a small village in the outskirts.”
After he fell out with the Ji family, both mother and son were driven out, with nowhere to go but to find a place to live in a village in the outskirts.
His mother was already seriously ill when she was in the Ji residence. It was originally just a minor cold, but Madam Ji found various excuses to prevent her from seeing a doctor, and his mother didn’t want to cause trouble.
Later, despite his efforts, although a doctor came, his mother’s condition not only did not improve but worsened, even to the point where she could not get out of bed.
He accidentally overheard the doctor talking to Madam Ji’s head maid and discovered that the doctor was Madam Ji’s man, and they wanted his mother to die.
This was also one of the reasons Ji Runze decided to leave the Ji family completely.
However, he was only a boy of twelve or thirteen, and surviving alone outside was a problem, let alone taking care of a patient who required money for medical treatment and medicine.
Before meeting Qin Wanwan, he wanted to leave the Ji mansion but couldn’t.
Facing the bullying of his legitimate elder brother, he didn’t even dare to resist, and could only endure the humiliation.
This young lady in front of him, however, was a lifeline thrown to him when he was sinking in the mire.
“There are so many rooms here, you can have your mother move in too.”
Ji Runze looked at Qin Wanwan and suddenly knelt down on both knees, performing a grand bow before her.
“Thank you, Miss.”
He was a scholar, and normally he wouldn’t have to kneel to officials, yet at this moment, he was willingly kneeling to a young lady.
Qin Wanwan pulled him up.
“You’re my employee, Keke said that a boss should give employees benefits, that way employees will willingly work for me, hehe, this is your employee benefit.”
Qin Wanwan thought about asking Yu Daddy when she got back if he could help Ji Runze’s mother see a doctor.
Ji Runze didn’t understand what employee benefits were, but he was indeed very grateful for it.
Lang Ya bought some food for Ji Runze and put it directly in the kitchen, then stood behind Qin Wanwan with a sour face.
Of course, when Qin Wanwan turned to look at him, his sour face immediately softened.
Ji Runze: …
This person had a problem with him, and it was written all over his face.
“Lang Ya, let’s go, let’s go home first, and tomorrow we’ll have people move the flowers from the flower garden.”
Lang Ya nodded and followed her away.
Qin Wanwan browsed the street for a while before returning. Yu Daddy was already back and was shamelessly freeloading food at Shang Wuyang’s residence.
Shang Wuyang said irritably, “Eat, eat, eat, all you do is eat. Aren’t you afraid I’ll poison you!”
Did this guy forget that they were fighting to the death not long ago?
Yu Wuyou: “Don’t be so stingy. I’m not even holding grudges about you pricking my butt with needles and even detoxifying you. We are both Wanwan’s dads, be magnanimous and don’t put the cub in a difficult position.”
Shang Wuyang said sarcastically, “Oh, so you can be generous like a prime minister? I’m not as thoughtless as you. If you don’t hold grudges, why did you release poisonous insects when we met earlier?”
Yu Wuyou proudly puffed out his chest: “I don’t hold grudges after I get my revenge.”
Shang Wuyang rolled his eyes at him.
“Besides, who are you looking down on? Can your little poison trouble me?”
His proud demeanor could be said to be extremely annoying.
At this moment, Qin Wanwan ran in.
“Shang Daddy, Yu Daddy~”
Shang Wuyang looked over, and Yu Wuyou enthusiastically opened his arms.
“Cub, I’ve missed you so much.”
After speaking, he directly picked her up.
“I brought you candied hawthorn.”
Qin Wanwan exclaimed, “I bought candied hawthorn too! And sugar-fried chestnuts, and pastries from Yu Fu Zhai.”
Yu Wuyou: “Then let’s share and eat.”
Shang Wuyang frowned: “Isn’t there enough food at home for you to eat? Is the food outside tastier than the food at home?”
Qin Wanwan obediently shook her head: “No, but I just wanted to bring something back from outside.”
Yu Wuyou nodded: “Exactly. All those delicious foods are right in front of you, it would be a waste not to bring some back.”
Shang Wuyang: …
He couldn’t understand their thought process.
“When is Rong Daddy coming back?”
Yu Wuyou: “He’s got a lot to be busy with, hehe… The Emperor can’t find me, so he’s looking for him.”

It was truly a demonstration of “letting my comrade die rather than me”.
“By the way, Yu Daddy, can you help a friend of mine see a doctor for his mother?”
Yu Wuyou nodded with candied hawthorn in his mouth, while Shang Wuyang bombarded her with a series of questions.
“Friend? Male or female? Where are they from?”
“You’re still too young and easily deceived. When making friends, the other person can be a commoner or royalty, but absolutely do not make friends with those who scheme against you or have poor character.”
Qin Wanwan nodded: “Keke checked, he’s not deceiving me.”
Shang Wuyang was then somewhat reassured.
He, as her old father, always worried about his daughter being deceived.
Yu Wuyou patted his chest: “Leave it to me.”
Matters entrusted to him by his good cub must be handled well.
Qin Wanwan smiled and continued talking with her two dads.
Yu Wuyou spoke about being chased: “Rong Zhi said it might be an imperial prince from the palace chasing me. He said the mastermind who used the curse is not the First Prince.”
“Such a complicated problem, I don’t care anymore, just let him investigate.”
Hearing this, Qin Wanwan immediately became nervous.
“Are you okay, Daddy? Are people still chasing you?”
She hadn’t forgotten what Keke had said, that Yu Daddy was killed while being chased.
“I’m fine, I shook them all off.”
Qin Wanwan looked at Keke.
Keke comforted her: “Don’t worry, the Third Prince doesn’t dare to openly pursue Yu Wuyou now. Your father can handle those people.”
Yu Wuyou: “Ah? Those people are the Third Prince’s men?”
“Then is he the one who put the curse on the Emperor? But why did the clues lead to the First Prince?”
Keke: “That’s his cunning. The curse woman was deceived by the Third Prince’s sweet talk into falling in love with him and willingly staying by his side as a concubine and doing things for him.
Poisoning the Emperor was one of those things. When the matter was exposed, that fool actually took all the blame onto the First Prince and even went to the First Prince’s mansion to commit suicide.”
Shang Wuyang crossed his legs: “This Third Prince is quite interesting.”
He hadn’t forgotten that guy tried to assassinate him earlier.
“So when is Rong Zhi going to make a move against that guy? It’s annoying to just watch him jump around like this.”
Keke: “Rong Zhi wants to keep the Third Prince as practice for the Crown Prince, and then there will be a bigger event at the Emperor’s birthday banquet next year.”
