However, Sun Jingbo had always believed in his own identity as the eldest son of the family, and had never placed Sun Jinzi, his concubine, in his eyes. Now that he saw First Prince and Sixth Prince come for Sun Jinzi, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
”Second Sister should be in her own room. little Chen will send someone to get her right away.” Saying that, Sun Jingbo immediately instructed the Attendant beside him, he did not dare to be careless.
Jin Chupei's expression was still ice-cold, as he gave a bland grunt of acknowledgement.
Before he even entered the inner courtyard of the Sun Mansion, he could already hear the sound of extremely good silk bamboo from afar. The singers of the Wu Le Xuan were all top experts in music from the capital.
”Compared to the ones in the palace, the dancers in this Dancing Music Pavilion are more interesting. Sixth Brother, did you tell me?” Jin Chuao was drunk listening to his, and while drinking, he enjoyed himself greatly.
Jin Chupei's face was still as cold as ever, with just a snort, he did not even bother to look at them.
Sun Jingbo immediately got to the point and glanced at the singers, ”First Prince, do you want to send a few over later to serve?”
”Hehe, just wait and see!” Jin Chuao smiled meaningfully.
Before he could even give instructions, a Attendant hurried over to report, ”Eldest Young Master, Second Miss might not be able to make it here.”
”What do you mean you can't? First Prince and Sixth Prince are both here, could it be that she still dares to make the two of you wait?” Sun Jingbo was slightly angry.
Seeing that Sun Jingbo was angered, he could only whisper back, ”Eldest Young Master, Madam has ordered for Second Miss to copy the records in the Ancestral Hall. At this time, she is probably still kneeling in the Ancestral Hall.”
Jin Chuao heard the mutterings of the two, and frowned: ”Ancestral temple? Zi Er was kneeling in the Ancestral Hall? Lead the way, and take a look alone! ”
Sun Jingbo really wished that he could kick this Attendant to death. Not revealing his ugly status, in front of the two princes, wasn't that the same as letting them laugh at Sun Mansion?
With no time to think, Sun Jingbo followed closely behind Jin Chuao and hurried back to the ancestral hall.
He did not know how long he knelt for.
The pain in his knees and the few green and purple whip marks on his body made Sun Jinzi frown. Yun mama watched from the side as he held the thorny branch, and if he was even slightly relaxed, the whip would whip him.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside and the voices of a few men could be heard. The doors to the ancestral hall were locked as a large group of people walked in.
”Eldest Young Master!” Yun mama immediately went over to pay his respects.
”Let them go.” Sun Jingbo saw that Jin Chuao's expression was a little strange and hurriedly ordered.
Yun mama still did not understand, why did Eldest Young Master disobey his orders for Sun Jinzi's sake? ”Eldest Young Master, Second Miss is kneeling here, it's Madam's order.”
”Pah!” Sun Jingbo slapped Yun mama hard in the face without holding back, since Sun Jinzi was someone that First Prince had set his eyes on, and with such a difficult situation, he was afraid that First Prince would feel embarrassed.
”Dog slave, are you not going to listen to my words anymore?” As for Madam, I will personally answer your call. Scram for me! ”
Yun mama didn't think that Sun Jingbo would actually slap him.
She was the betrothed to the Mrs. Zhong, and in the Sun Mansion, she was even more shameless than some of her so-called masters. However, the moment that slap fell, it was as if her face was split in half.
”Yes, yes!” Yun mama did not dare to retort and immediately retreated with the surrounding mama.
Jin Chuao did not waste time talking to them and quickly went over to support Sun Jinzi, ”Zi Er, are you alright?!”
Sun Jinzi didn't take his hand, instead, she struggled to support himself as she stood up.
His body was drenched in sweat. He was even kneeling down until his knees were red and swollen.
Even though the pain made her body tremble, Sun Jinzi still clenched her teeth, preventing them from seeing her weakness.
”I'm fine!” Sun Jinzi had a face of wolf, but she was still like a proud peacock, noble to the point that she couldn't be violated by anyone.
She had long since experienced who Jin Chuao was in her previous life.
A sweet voice could easily make her promise to him, and also easily destroy the promise he made to her. Sun Jinzi didn't want to be seen as a joke by others, like how she had always kept her distance from Jin Chuao.
”Eh, it's good that you're fine.” Jin Chuao's hand, which was extended into the air, inexplicably missed its mark, and couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
Suddenly, he turned his head.
That familiar figure just happened to be standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall.
Jin Chupei? Was it him?
The moment their four eyes met, it was as if they were in the dark, and were already implicated. Sun Jinzi's eyes moved, but her face still revealed a bitter smile.
Who would have thought that she would be in such a sorry state after meeting her in private.
”Second Miss.” A trace of gentleness suddenly surfaced on Jin Chupei's usually ice-cold face.
The tenacity and stubbornness in his eyes was clearly different from those aristocratic women who only knew how to put on airs. Just from a single glance, Jin Chupei couldn't help but be moved.
