Chapter 180 The纨绔世子 19 (1/2)

"If Your Highness still wishes to go, I am naturally willing to go with you."

Pei Ziqing immediately noticed a hint of relaxation in the princess's eyes.

"Your Highness will soon see for yourself what a despicable person that employer is. I have nothing to fear, and I will risk everything today... I only ask that the princess restore my innocence!"

He stood tall with his back straight, his face bearing an air of righteous indignation.

This move, a strategic retreat to advance, a desperate attempt to survive, was executed exceptionally well.

Pei Ziqing thought that if she said that, given Helian Yue's temperament, she wouldn't want to go to Bazhenlou again.

However, Helian Yue frowned and put down the jade teacup in her hand, looking at his impassioned and heroic appearance, as if he was about to be executed at any moment, and felt speechless.

Instead of feeling the expected pity, the sense of absurdity that had lingered for days intensified in her heart.

Who remembers that they said they were just going to have a meal at Bazhenlou Restaurant?!

However, I still need to visit the Eight Treasures Restaurant.

"...Since you are so open and honest, then I will accompany you to the Eight Treasures Pavilion. I want to see what kind of woman you are..."

"...Yes, Your Highness, thank you for believing in me."

Things didn't go as he expected, and Pei Ziqing was somewhat displeased, but on his face, he still kowtowed repeatedly with a mixture of grief and gratitude.

He stood up, straightened his robes, and looked at Princess Jing Le's retreating figure with a vengeful smile on his face.

Alright, now that the princess is just one step away from making the declaration of love to him, let him find a way to add fuel to the fire today and solidify his status as the prince consort!

That bitch Liu Zixi probably never imagined such a day would come!

Thinking of this, a twisted smile, a mixture of cruelty and pleasure, slowly appeared on Pei Ziqing's face.

He could almost see Liu Zixi crying and begging for mercy at his feet, and the Eight Treasures Pavilion reduced to ruins.

Didn't she make him lose face?

Today, in front of the princess, in her most important Eight Treasures Pavilion, he will utterly trample her into the mud!

May she never be able to rise again!

Let's see how arrogant she can be now!

Soon, an inconspicuous carriage stopped at the side gate of the princess's residence.

Helian Yue changed into a pale yellow brocade dress commonly seen on wealthy young ladies, and put on a veiled hat to cover most of her face.

The carriage traveled through the bustling streets, heading towards the Bazhenlou Restaurant.

Pei Ziqing's heart was pounding, half with the excitement of his impending revenge and half with the tension of having borrowed a huge debt and his future hanging in the balance.

He glanced back at the carriage with its curtains drawn, a glint of determined ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

He'll show her right now what happens when you offend Pei Ziqing!

Inside the Tingxue private room of Bazhenlou Restaurant, Helian Jue held a cup, drank the juice inside, and let out a burp.

During this period, he devoted almost all his attention to the Eight Treasures Pavilion, and neglected to pay attention to Helian Yue's side.

That gilded exterior but rotten interior has somehow managed to attach itself to Helian Yue.

Still borrowing money at exorbitant interest rates?

Ha, as expected, a leopard can't change its despicable ways.

For the sake of that laughable vanity and his self-righteous dream of becoming a prince consort, he dared to touch the high-interest loan that could skin a person alive.

Helian Yue was probably bewitched by his hypocritical facade and sweet talk.

His long, slender fingers curled slightly, his knuckles turning white.

A clear and ruthless thought surfaced in his mind: Should we... just get rid of Pei Ziqing, this menace?
