The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 928

Chapter 928: 424 taels after the second watch

"How dull." The Consort of Prince Rui pouted, thinking she had grasped a handle on Wo Linlang’s adultery, only to find out it was just a sibling squabble.

As for the impact on Wo Linlang, indeed there was some, but pitifully small, given that everyone in Capital City knew her family was unreliable.

Prince Ning observed the Consort of Prince Rui’s expression thoroughly, picked up the teacup from the table, and took a casual sip.

Since it was a major incident that alarmed both Prince Ning and Prince Rui, the Crown Prince had someone fetch Chun Yin from the East Palace to verify Wo Yang’s statement wasn’t one-sided.

Chun Yin’s testimony was consistent with that of Wo Yang.

In fact, Wo Yang’s testimony had already been convincing enough, considering Prince Ning and the East Palace were hostile camps, and it was impossible for Prince Ning to bribe Wo Yang. Chun Yin’s testimony solidified Wo Yang’s guilt.

Prince Ning couldn’t bribe Wo Yang, and even less Chun Yin—at least, that’s what both the Crown Prince and the Consort of Prince Rui believed.

However, after returning to the East Palace, the Crown Prince still spoke to the Crown Princess regarding Wo Yang’s matter: "He came to you, why didn’t you tell me?" _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

The Crown Princess was still in bed nursing her injuries. Upon hearing this, she cast down her eyes, her black hair slipping down over her shoulders, making her face appear even more pale and fragile.

"Your Highness," the Crown Princess said softly, "how could I bring up such a matter? Having such a brother is already a disgrace, should I speak out and embarrass Your Highness further?"

The Crown Prince felt awkward: "I... I didn’t mean that..."

In a restaurant in Capital City.

Wo Yang poured Prince Ning a cup of wine, smiling as he said, "Your Highness, didn’t I perform well today?"

Standing behind Prince Ning were his own two trusted guards, next to them stood the tense Chun Yin.

Prince Ning looked at Wo Yang with a smile, gestured to the two guards, who brought over a small chest from another room and placed it on the table. Upon opening it, it was brimming with gold.

Wo Yang’s eyes went wide: "Is, is, is this really for me?"

Prince Ning smiled, "Young Master Wo, aren’t you a bit short on funds? Consider this a token of my gratitude."

"No, no need to be so polite..." Wo Yang chuckled while hugging the chest to himself, picking up a gold ingot and biting it.

Real!

Pure gold!

Wo Yang’s smile grew even more radiant: "Your Highness, you’re really kind! Much better than my stingy Crown Princess brother-in-law! If my sister had married you back then..."

He stopped halfway, remembering that Wo Linlang couldn’t have married him anyway, since his sister had been engaged to the young lord from a young age, and Prince Ning had already married into the Chu family before the young lord’s death.

With her beauty, being a concubine was utterly beneath her.

And the Crown Princess wasn’t a bad match either.
