In the Drunken Immortal Tower, throughout the meal, only Jun Mo Yu chattered incessantly. Jun Mo Han, with a dark expression the entire time, finished a meal with Prince Ning and Prince Qing.
After the meal, Prince Ning, being tactful, took Prince Qing and left first.
Jun Mo Yu, deliberately ignoring Jun Mo Han’s expression, continued to clamor for Leng Ruo Li to accompany him to the night market.
Jun Mo Han gave Yin Chen a look, and immediately, Yin Chen picked him up and carried him away.
“Your Highness Prince Xian, your martial arts are still not up to par. Yin Chen will accompany you back to practice,” Yin Chen said to Prince Xian, barely suppressing a smile.
“I’m not going back to practice, I’m exhausted. Second Royal Sister-in-law, save me…”
Jun Mo Yu tried to break free from Yin Chen’s grip, seeking help from Leng Ruo Li.
Leng Ruo Li, seeing Jun Mo Yu’s resistant demeanor, said to Jun Mo Han, “Since Prince Xian truly doesn’t want to practice, don’t force him. He’s a prince, and he’s always followed by so many guards when he goes out. He never offends anyone, so no one can hurt him.”
“Seeing him gives me a headache, and I don’t want to teach him, but it was his mother who asked me to teach him martial arts,” Jun Mo Han said indifferently, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed.
“Consort Shu?” Leng Ruo Li murmured softly.
“Mhm~” Jun Mo Han replied softly.
Silence fell in the private room again!
Jun Mo Han took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and played with it. He ordered the guards outside, “Go and call Manager Hu up!”
“Yes!” Ye Er outside the door responded immediately and went downstairs to fetch him.
Soon, Manager Hu came up and knocked on their private room door.
“Your Highness, you were looking for this subordinate?” Manager Hu said, cupping his hands.
“From now on, this Drunken Immortal Tower will be managed by the Princess Consort. All income will go to the Princess Consort. You don’t need to report to the Leng Prince’s Estate anymore, just report directly to the Princess Consort,” Jun Mo Han’s voice was captivating and magnetic.
As soon as he finished speaking, the few people in the room were stunned.
“Jun Mo Han, what did you just say? Do you mean you’re giving this Drunken Immortal Tower to me???” Leng Ruo Li asked.
“Yes, last night that effeminate man and I damaged many things in your courtyard. This Drunken Immortal Tower is a gift to you as compensation. It should cover the damages to your courtyard, right?” Jun Mo Han explained carelessly.
“Enough! Enough! But are you really willing to give the Drunken Immortal Tower to me? From what I know, the Drunken Immortal Tower’s business is quite good,” Leng Ruo Li said in disbelief.
“I have more than one property under my name, and I don’t lack this much income. Moreover,” Jun Mo Han paused, his mind calculating, “you will soon marry me and become the Princess Consort. Won’t this Drunken Immortal Tower be a property of the Leng Prince’s Estate in the future?” He stopped himself before he could finish, his internal calculations whirring.
However, Leng Ruo Li did not intend to let him off.
“Moreover what? Why don’t you finish speaking?” Leng Ruo Li looked at Jun Mo Han with a face full of questions.
“It’s nothing?” Jun Mo Han raised his eyebrows, trying to brush it off.
Leng Ruo Li rolled her eyes at him.
Hmph! I don’t believe you. You’re a sly one. But since you’re giving me the Drunken Immortal Tower, I might as well take it. I’ll accept it!
Manager Hu and Ye Er, standing by the side, were also stunned for a long time. Good heavens! Why was their Prince so generous today? They knew that when Prince Xian had asked for this restaurant before, he had been severely beaten by their Prince every time. This was because their Prince attached great importance to the income from his properties, and more than eighty percent of the income was used for military expenses. The Drunken Immortal Tower’s annual income ranked among the top ten of the Leng Prince’s Estate’s properties, enough to support a hundred thousand Yun family iron cavalry for three months. Therefore, they found it incredible that their Prince would give the Drunken Immortal Tower to Leng Ruo Li.
“Your Highness, this, this…” Manager Hu stuttered for a long time, not knowing how to persuade Jun Mo Han. Their Prince always kept his word, and he dared not disobey him.
“Yes! Your Highness, this subordinate obeys!” Manager Hu replied respectfully. He looked up at Leng Ruo Li. She had bright, clear almond-shaped eyes, appearing very intelligent and lively. Her face was partially veiled by a thin gauze, and her three thousand strands of ink-black hair were half-pinned up with a jade hairpin, with the other half naturally cascading down. She looked clean and refreshing, completely different from the common women in the capital. Even as she sat quietly, she exuded an aristocratic aura, so beautiful she seemed not of this world, like a fairy who had descended into the mortal realm.
Leng Ruo Li looked very outstanding. Hopefully, he hadn’t misjudged her. This young lady should be capable.
Jun Mo Han immediately noticed Manager Hu’s gaze towards Leng Ruo Li. His narrow, deep phoenix eyes turned icy as he glanced at Manager Hu. A chilling aura emanated from him, like a freezer suddenly set to a lower temperature placed in this narrow space, making Manager Hu shiver. He instantly averted his gaze.
Good heavens, that was incredibly dangerous just now. If he had dared to look at this future Princess Consort any more brazenly, he would surely lose his life.
“From now on, this Drunken Immortal Tower will follow the Princess Consort’s arrangements. Do not have any other intentions,” Jun Mo Han announced again.
“Yes, Your Highness, this subordinate understands!” Then, Jun Mo Han handed the jade pendant he was playing with to Leng Ruo Li.
“What is this?” Leng Ruo Li took the jade pendant and looked at it closely. It was engraved with the character “Han.” There was nothing special about it.
“This is my personal jade pendant. It’s very useful. Keep it safe,” Jun Mo Han said, tossing the jade pendant, which symbolized his important identity, to Leng Ruo Li.
This again shocked Manager Hu and Ye Er, who were still standing in the private room.
“Let’s go!” Jun Mo Han’s voice was as cold and mellow as ever. He stood up and walked out of the private room. Leng Ruo Li followed closely. Ye Er, snapping out of his daze, also followed, leaving behind a still-stunned Manager Hu, who kept muttering to himself, “Our Prince has truly changed! This is too incredible!”
Inside the carriage, Jun Mo Han suddenly asked about Ming Jiu Xiao.
“Who was that effeminate man last night? How do you two know each other?” Jun Mo Han stared intently into Leng Ruo Li’s eyes. He said these words, deliberately drawing out his tone, his voice laced with teasing and questioning.
Leng Ruo Li glanced indifferently at Jun Mo Han. Considering he had given her a restaurant today, she decided to tell him the truth.
“Actually, I don’t know him either. He just suddenly appeared.”
Jun Mo Han looked suspicious. No one would pester a woman for no reason. He recalled the lecherous eyes that effeminate man had cast at Leng Ruo Li, which instantly made him feel extremely threatened, as if someone were snatching away a treasure from him. Thus, he rushed into the palace that very night and had his father set the wedding date for him and Leng Ruo Li. He was afraid; if he delayed by even one day, Leng Ruo Li might be snatched away by someone else. He also had to find out the identity of that man. After all, there were very few people in this world whose martial arts and inner strength could match his, Jun Mo Han. However, he had sent two groups of people to investigate the matter, and in both cases, someone had deliberately severed the clues, preventing him from finding out. Suddenly, Jun Mo Han smelled danger.
