Chương 40: Chapter 37

When Jia Yi was finally awake, Yu Yingyi and Song Liya were sitting on a chair staring at her as if they were waiting for her to wake up the entire time.

"Where am...I?" Jia Yi asked confusedly as she started looking around, that was when she spotted the two figures in front of her.

"Prince!" she called out excitedly until she saw the other one. "Princess..."

There was a huge difference in tone when Jia Yi called out to them. Jia Yi tried moving her arms and legs but realized she was tied to the chair.

"Why am I tied up?" Jia Yi asked.

"You're tied up because-"

"Let me answer." Song Liya interrupted. "You're tied up for trying to seduce my prince and to make sure you won't do it again, you're tied up. But that's only one of the two reasons."

"I see, haha! The experience was truly amazing, the hard grip and force of the prince against my skin. Ahh, it was truly a sensational feeling." Jia Yi said blissfully.

Song Liya mentally cringed, she felt disgusted. Not once had she met someone like this and was still the same when they were tied up, it was truly disgusting.

"Jia Yi, tell me. What did my mother tell you?" asked Song Liya, though it sounded like she was demanding information.

Suddenly, Jia Yi turned serious. "And why should I tell you, princess? Why don't you ask your mother yourself? You did have a talk with her, didn't you? Perhaps she didn't tell her favorite daughter?"

Song Liya could tell Jia Yi was trying to provoke her, but she was too experienced to fall for something like this.

"Answer me, I don't care about the talk I had with my mother. What I want to know is what my mother told you since there seems to be something going on between you and her," said Song Liya.

"There isn't anything though, just a small deal. I help her and she helps me, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Nothing more, nothing less." said Jia Yi.

Song Liya frowned, she wasn't getting anywhere with Jia Yi. Perhaps she should let Yingyi ask her?

"I can tell what you're thinking princess, you're planning on letting the prince question me aren't you? Don't even try, this information won't be told to anyone, not even the prince." Jia Yi said proudly.

Song Liya smiled, it seemed it worked.

"So you admit it, there is information that you're hiding from us."

"Urg..!" Jia Yi felt angry that the princess was able to outsmart her. "Tsk, even if you know that I have hidden information, there's no way you're going to get me to tell you!"

"True, but do you know the details about the talk I had with my mother?"

Jia Yi's face twitched for a second, bullseye.

"It seems you do know, I guess I can say it. Yingyi, don't worry, whatever I say won't happen," said Song Liya.

"Okay." Yu Yingyi replied as Song Liya turned back to Jia Yi. "Tell me, do you know who the consort my mother was talking about?"

"Why?"

"Because I know who the consort is, after all, I wouldn't agree on meeting him without knowing who he is."

"You're bluffing."

"Why would I be?"

In truth, Song Liya was actually bluffing, her mother didn't tell her anything at all which infuriated her. However, Song Liya knew that Jia Yi knew who it was, she could try to make her leak the information.

"Prove it to me then," said Jia Yi.

"I guess, but don't feel too bad if what I say makes you feel terrible," said Song Liya as she switched to a disgusted expression. "The consort is just terrible."

"Just his looks are enough to make me throw up, perhaps I should bring a professional makeover artist to change him into a woman just to make him look better."

"And his personality, just why does he have to be so annoying? He talks too much, he gets excited at every little thing which makes him seem like a child, who would want to marry a child?"

With each insult, Jia Yi's expression started to turn worse, Song Liya and Yu Yingyi could tell Jia Yi was enranged.

"Moreover, the way he dresses. Wearing raggy clothes with bright colors, what is he? A homeless person who wants to stand out? Just what is he thinking?"

"ENOUGH! DON"T TALK ABOUT MY BROTHER LIKE THAT!" Jia Yi shouted at her.

'Too easy.' thought Song Liya.

"Oh? The consort of mine is your brother? That means you're part of royalty, aren't you?" Song Liya asked.

Jia Yi's eyes went wide when she realized what just happened. She just leaked valuable information only the empress should know.

"How does it feel being outsmarted? Actually, I had no idea who my consort was, I only knew that you and my mother cooperated in this idea since you both wanted to separate me from Yingyi. Now I get why my mother worked with you, it was because you were part of a royal family. The Jia family huh? I'm going to have to do some research regarding it." said Song Liya.

Yu Yingyi was surprised at what just happened but more surprised at who the consort was. In the novel, Yu Yingyi married someone different, but now it was Jia Haoyu, someone who doesn't appear until the side story.

That was when Yu Yingyi recalled who Jia Yi was, she was also in the novel's side story. She owned a herb store as well as a flower store which attracted a lot of customers. Yu Yingyi would've never expected Jia Yi to turn out like this.

"Well, that's all the information I needed to get to the bottom of this. It seems like everything should be fine now," said Song Liya.

"What do you mean everything is going to be fine now?" asked Yu Yingyi.

"Since we know my family and the Jia family are related, I can give this information to my sister who can easily find the object that's holding the relationship together. There's no doubt that a deal was made between our family and their family. Once we find out what the deal is, it's over." said Song Liya.

Yu Yingyi was surprised, so that was why Song Liya stayed behind to talk to her sister. Yu Yingyi could already guess what Song Liya promised Song Feng Mian. After all, she wanted the same thing for Song Feng Mian.

Suddenly, there was a chuckle coming from Jia Yi.

"Hahaha!"
