Chapter 194 How could you be so impolite?
Chapter 194 How could you be so impolite?
Nian Nian slowly stood up, her beautiful eyes filled with glistening tears, yet her gaze revealed an unwavering determination.
She nodded vigorously and said softly:
"Sixth Prince, I firmly believe that you are an upright and kind person, which is why I dare to ask you for a favor."
"Could you possibly grant me a job? I truly do not wish to starve to death in this bustling capital city..."
Hearing Nian Nian's words, Pei Yun Jing frowned slightly, then asked:
Where are your family members now?
Nian Nian took a deep breath and slowly replied, "Your Highness, our family was originally destitute and lived a difficult life."
Ever since that first freezing rain, my father and mother have been saving all their food for me.
In the end, I was the only one who survived by sheer luck...
At this point, Niannian's voice choked with emotion, and her pretty face revealed a deep sadness and pain.
Looking at the pitiful yet incredibly sincere woman before him, Pei Yunjing couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.
After a moment's thought, he turned to Jiu Sheng beside him and instructed:
"Take her to the laundry department and see if you can find her a job..."
After saying this, his deep, ocean-like eyes swept over Nian Nian's face once more, and then he resolutely turned to leave.
Consider it a good deed.
Just then, Nian Nian suddenly called out, "Sixth Prince, please wait! I have another question. I wonder if there will be another opportunity to see you in the future?"
Pei Yunjing stopped and looked back at Niannian, asking in a calm tone:
"What brings you to see me, Your Highness?"
Niannian hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, I just want to know about the aftermath of those people outside."
After all, this matter started because of me, and if I can't find out the outcome, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat or sleep properly..."
Upon hearing Niannian's words, Pei Yunjing paused slightly.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke and replied, "Very well! Once the matter is settled, I, the prince, will send someone to inform you!"
After speaking, he didn't linger any longer and strode away from the place.
A fleeting look of relief flashed across Nian Nian's pretty face, but it vanished in an instant.
However, even such a subtle and fleeting change in expression could not escape the sharp, hawk-like gaze of Hisaharu.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, taking in everything, but didn't expose them on the spot. He simply said coldly, without any expression, "Come with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around without hesitation and strode straight toward the laundry department.
Every year, she followed closely behind in a somewhat panicked manner, her steps appearing slightly unsteady.
Just then, with a soft "thud," a black chess piece suddenly fell from her body.
The chess piece seemed to possess some mysterious attraction, and soon caught the attention of a crow in a nearby tree.
The crow tilted its head, its bright black eyes fixed intently on the chess pieces on the ground;
Then it spread its wings and swooped down, accurately picking up the chess piece with its beak, before flapping its wings and soaring into the sky, disappearing into the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, inside Pei Yunjing's bedchamber in Shanghe Palace...
The bedroom was exquisitely and luxuriously furnished, showcasing the owner's noble and extraordinary status.
He hurried to the Phoenix Bronze Mirror and saw that Niannian was lying on the modern side of the mirror without any regard for her image, her small body twitching from time to time.
Seeing this, Pei Yunjing couldn't help but feel a little confused. Could it be that Nian Nian had been bullied by someone?
Thinking of this, he quickly walked to the phoenix bronze mirror, bent down, and asked softly:
"Niannian, what's wrong? You look like you've been through a lot. Tell me about it..."
As he spoke, his tone was exceptionally gentle, as if he were afraid that if he were even slightly harsh, he would make Nian Nian in front of him even more heartbroken.
Just then, there was a "whoosh" sound.
Niannian looked up abruptly as if startled, followed by a burst of unrestrained laughter.
However, her wide smile made it impossible to ignore the obvious bruise on her forehead, which stood out particularly.
"Hahaha... It's okay, it's okay, Brother Yun Jing, I was just laughing, I wasn't crying!" Niannian laughed loudly while covering her stomach with her hand, seemingly unable to stop.
Seeing this, Pei Yunjing frowned, pointed towards Nian Nian's forehead, and asked with concern:
"What happy thing happened? Niannian, and what happened to that scar on your forehead?"
He reached out and touched the table, grasped a small jade medicine jar, and placed it into the bronze mirror. Soon, the medicine jar appeared in front of Nian Nian.
She paused for a moment, then gently rubbed her forehead before replying nonchalantly:
"Oh, this! It was accidentally left behind during a fight!"
Pei Yunjing asked anxiously, "You got into a fight? What happened? Did someone bully you?"
"No...who can bully me! Brother Yun Jing, you don't know how powerful I am now! I can take on four by myself!"
Niannian recounted in detail what happened after school today.
It turned out that she had been anxiously searching for her Chinese textbook after school today, but couldn't find it no matter what she did.
So, Niannian decided to search the classroom carefully.
However, to her utter surprise, just as she was concentrating on her search, Qian Fangfang swaggered in with three arrogant lackeys.
What's even more outrageous is that they rudely closed the front and back doors of the classroom tightly, as if they wanted to trap Nian Nian inside.
Just then, Niannian suddenly discovered that the Chinese textbook she had been searching for was in Qian Fangfang's hands.
Qian Fangfang looked smug, her head held high, and said contemptuously to Jian Niannian:
"Jian Niannian, I'm giving you one last chance. If you don't behave, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
Hearing this, Jian Niannian wasn't frightened. Instead, she tilted her head and asked curiously:
"You're welcome? How exactly can you be impolite?"
They make it sound like they're being incredibly polite...
