Chapter 183
183, The Despicable (3 more)
The woman hurried forward to comfort her, “Don’t be afraid, Miss. Prince Han may not return to the capital for a while, and who knows when he will. Perhaps by the time he does, he will have forgotten about today’s events!”
“Nanny!” Han Jiaqi stamped her foot.
Is that what she was worried about?
What she was worried about was that beautiful woman, named Zhinuan.
She was attractive, a bit fierce, and most importantly, Prince Han was protecting her. He even let her ride in the carriage with him, which is something countless girls in the capital dream of, yet it was obtained by a country bumpkin.
“Miss, don’t panic, don’t panic. Looking at the direction they’re heading, they’re either going to Zhao’an County or Fengping County. We’ll just follow them, and when the time comes, you can get to know that girl and chat her up a bit to become familiar in the eyes of His Highness!” Nanny Mou said, pausing slightly before whispering, “Miss, Prince Han has not yet taken a principal wife!”
Not to mention a principal wife, he doesn’t even have a concubine or a lady.
Han Jiaqi pondered for a moment, and once she understood the implications of those words, her face flushed red, and she nodded slightly to show she understood.
With her family background, if she tried hard enough, she was definitely worthy of becoming Princess Consort Han.
As for that Zhinuan… if she’s obedient, giving her the position of a lady would already be an honor for her.
Han Jiaqi no longer felt like resting and quickly boarded the carriage to chase after Li Hengyi and Xie Zhinuan.
On the carriage.
Xie Zhinuan looked at Li Hengyi and chuckled.
“What are you laughing at?” Li Hengyi asked, puzzled.
Even Yuanbao looked at Xie Zhinuan, bewildered.

She had been bullied, and yet she could still laugh about it, truly magnanimous.“It’s nothing!” Xie Zhinuan shook her head slightly.
She didn’t ask about the Crown Prince of the Marquis Xuanping Residence because she had decided not to meddle in the Yuan Family’s affairs and wouldn’t go to Zhao’an County anymore.
She also thought back to Li Hengyi calling her by her name earlier. Since he didn’t explain and it was presumably to teach that miss from the Duke Residence a lesson, she didn’t take it to heart.
She also wondered, if she were alone, how would she handle such an arrogant and overbearing girl?
Confrontation? She obviously couldn’t win in a fight.
The answer was disheartening, so she didn’t want to dwell on it.
She thought only of earning a fortune early and having capable people by her side.
Xie Zhinuan turned to Yuanbao, bringing up the topic of learning martial arts again, “Yuanbao, do you have any kind of martial arts that allows someone to advance quickly? Something suitable for someone without any foundation, so if someone overpowers me, I could use one move to escape or even kill them!”
Yuanbao was astonished.
Even with evil martial arts, there’s no shortcut to quick mastery.
Shaking his head, “I’m afraid there isn’t!”
“There should be, like the so-called three despicable moves in legends. Unfortunately, I don’t know much about them; what exactly these three moves are. You two are well-informed…”
“Cough, cough, cough!” Li Hengyi coughed out loud.
Yuanbao’s face turned red.
In astonishment, shock, and surprise, they looked at Xie Zhinuan.
How did Miss Xie come up with these three moves?
“Miss Xie, are you sure you want to learn these three moves?” Yuanbao asked in a low voice.
He glanced furtively at his master.
Li Hengyi frowned slightly, warning Yuanbao not to tell Xie Zhinuan.
“Hmm!” Xie Zhinuan nodded.
Despicable tricks might sound underhanded, but when someone has you at their mercy, is it dignity or survival that matters?
She’d certainly choose the latter.
What’s the use of dignity if you’re dead?
“Miss Xie, generally speaking, very few people learn these three despicable moves, especially martial artists, who greatly despise those who do. Would you consider something else, maybe? Or I could help you ask around for other types of martial arts that can be mastered quickly!” Yuanbao advised softly.
