Mice

“A priceless piece from Ru Kiln.” Jiang Yi’s eyes sparkled, “If it was a complete set, it would be of great value.”
Jiang Ning glanced into the basket.
Isn’t it a complete set?
She thought it was the kind you could buy ten for five cents on the streets…
It seems now, Old Man Li… no, the heroic Emperor, had given her meal money in the form of valuable treasures.
Indeed, it wouldn’t be possible for the Emperor to carry gold and silver around with him, he probably just grabbed something off his desk or around his house.
A basketful of “garbage”.
Jiang Ning decisively asked Chunlai to bring a large mahogany box, put all the items in, and locked it up. She personally kept the key.
Just kidding, this was her little treasury.
As for Miaomiao’s cat bowl…
Never mind, let’s keep using it.
Everyone was speechless.
The carriage from Prince Yu’s mansion for the wedding ceremony was almost here, and the loud music could be heard from afar.
After Miaomiao had eaten his fill, he jumped onto Jiang Ning’s lap.
So there she was, holding a cat, as she got into the carriage to Prince Yu’s mansion.
Prince Yu was notable for his good reputation, and had won the hearts of many maidens in Chang’an.
Now that he had personally chosen a cripple to be his princess consort, he had undoubtedly broken the hearts of many young girls.
With so many crushed hearts, there was naturally some resentment and a desire for retaliation.
As the carriage was moving, someone threw a rat into the procession.
The men carrying wedding items and the musicians were all men, none of whom would be afraid of a few rats.
But the rat scurrying towards the bride’s carriage was rather scary.
A delicate and sheltered young lady would surely be afraid of a rat.
The worst part was, everyone knew the bride in the carriage was a cripple and would have a hard time escaping if she saw a rat.
The men outside saw the rat enter the carriage, but they didn’t dare lift the curtain to check.
If this caused an outcry, it would be a great loss of face not just for the Jiang Family.
Her life in Prince Yu’s mansion would definitely not be easy after this.
But strangely, there was no sound inside the carriage.
What happened?
Where is the rat?
Where’s the scream and crying from the bride that they had expected?
Nothing happened.
It was as quiet as if nothing had happened.
People were puzzled but resigned to it.
The loud music continued, heading towards Prince Yu’s mansion.
Inside the carriage.
Jiang Ning, with her cheek propped up, watched as Miaomiao used his claws to pin down a rat. The rat, terrified, struggled and squeaked, but Miaomiao showed no mercy, firmly pinning it down, occasionally giving it a little slap with his paw.
Miaomiao looked as brave as a general who had captured a prisoner.
Jiang Ning laughed, “Good Miaomiao, your sister hasn’t doted on you for nothing. Remember this grudge, and when we find out who did this, we’ll give them a nest of young rats, how about that?”
“Meow!”
“That’s settled then.”
And now, in Prince Yu’s mansion, Prince Yu was wearing his red wedding robe, sitting composedly in his study, writing. His expression was calm, without a hint of joy for his upcoming marriage.
The door was pushed open, an attendant came in and whispered something.
Without lifting his head, Prince Yu said, “They threw twenty rats, then we should return tenfold. Today is my wedding day, I don’t want it ruined.”
The attendant acknowledged the command and then said, “A rat also got into the Princess’s carriage, she might have been frightened…”
“Did she die?”
“Well, no.”
“Then why are you wasting words?” Prince Yu’s tone was icy.
The attendant lowered his head, “The sedan is almost here, sir. Should we go greet the bride?”
“I know.”
Though his words said that, his eyes were cold, not a trace of happiness in them.
Not until the sedan had stopped at the mansion’s entrance did he put his pen down and stand up to go to the front courtyard gate..
