Chapter 996 Sincerity
Thinking of this, he said, "Then go quickly and bring more gifts to show your sincerity!"
Queen Gao not only brought a lot of Gaoyou country specialties, but also brought the dancers who performed the water dance.
She felt that even if she failed to persuade Lin Yiwan to help, these girls with charming figures might catch Zhan Yan's eye and win his favor, so it would be okay to ask her to help persuade him.
She was the first to hand in the visiting card and was soon led into the tea room.
She said respectfully, "Madam, I came here first to apologize to Princess Youyi, and then to ask you for a small favor!"
Lin Yiwan said distantly, "Princess Youyi refused to accept your apology. This matter has been finalized. You don't need to mention it again. As for asking me for help, I don't know if I can help you!"
Queen Gao immediately said, "I can help. As long as the Marquis agrees, you can definitely help!"
After saying that, she handed over the gift.
The box full of top-quality white pearls is truly dazzling.
Queen Gao said flatteringly, "Madam, these top-grade pearls are extremely rare even in our Gaoyou Kingdom. I sent them all to you with the utmost sincerity!"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "The pearl is really good, I accept it!"
Queen Gao's eyes lit up. Since Lin Yiwan accepted the gift, she would definitely help.
She went on to say, "Also, I've brought you the girls who perform the water dance. They are all top beauties from Gaoyou Country. Take a look at them first!"
With her order, six girls were brought to Lin Yiwan.
Lin Yiwan said calmly, "I haven't seen water dancing before. I wonder how beautiful it is?"
Queen Gao asked, "Does your Zhan Yihou Mansion have a pond?"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "Yes, there is a relatively shallow carp pond in the backyard, which is convenient for children to catch fish and play in it!"
Queen Gao asked everyone to move to the backyard, and the six girls went into the carp pond first.
When they danced gracefully, they were truly beautiful.
Especially when their delicate hands sprinkle water droplets, their whole bodies are filled with fatal temptation.
Lin Yiwan thought to herself, who can withstand this?
Queen Gao was not just sending her dancers, she was trying to stuff women into her backyard.
She can't have it!
Otherwise, if Zhan Yan saw it, he would probably spit out blood!
It's not that he has any bad intentions, but it's purely physical temptation and he can't resist it at all.
After the dance, several beautiful girls knelt before Lin Yiwan and begged, "Please, Madam Hou, take us in!"
Lin Yiwan said calmly, "I'm sorry, I don't like hosting banquets. Keeping you in my house would be a waste of your talents. All of you should go back with Queen Gao!"
Queen Gao refused to agree. She frowned and said, "Madam, please don't rush to refuse. Wait until Marquis Zhan Yi has read it before making a decision!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a cold voice from not far away: "What is it that requires me to make a decision?"
Queen Gao's face immediately showed joy. She didn't believe that Marquis Zhan Yi wouldn't be tempted.
After all, even King Gao was attracted by these women when he saw them.
However, she did not let Gao Guojun touch them.
Because this is her most powerful method!
She quickly said, "Marquis Zhan Yi's return is just in time. I came to give gifts to the Marquis' wife. These dancers are doing a beautiful water-treading dance, but she refuses to accept any. Please try to persuade her!"
She thought Zhan Yan would agree to her request immediately.
After all, those girls are so eye-catching!
However, he didn't even look at them. He just said indifferently: "Indeed, we don't keep idle people in our mansion. As for dancers, they are a pure waste of food. Queen Gao should take them all back!"
Queen Gao was stunned. Is this a rejection?
How could he remain indifferent to those beautiful women?
Any man would be unable to move his feet, even if he has to sell everything he has, he has to find a way to support his wife.
Could it be that he has the will but not the ability?
Thinking of this, Queen Gao subconsciously glanced at Zhan Yan's waist.
Lin Yiwan blocked him at the right moment, and said unhappily, "Queen Gao, it's getting late. You'd better make your request as soon as possible, otherwise I'll order you to leave!"
Queen Gao finally remembered her intention and spoke hastily, "I'd like to ask Madam Hou to plead with Prince Li to let my son go. When I return, I will teach him a lesson and never let him cause trouble again!"
Lin Yiwan frowned and said, "Although your request is a bit excessive, since I have accepted your top-grade white pearls, I naturally have to help you open your mouth. You can go back and wait first!"
Queen Gao was suddenly overjoyed. She thought that since Lin Yiwan said so, her son would definitely be released.
She immediately thanked him and quickly left with the dancers.
Gao Guojun had been waiting for her to come back. Seeing her beaming with joy, he thought she might have accomplished something.
As expected, she said smugly, "No matter how noble Lin Yiwan is, she's just a vulgar person. She couldn't take her eyes off my box full of exquisite white pearls!"
Gao Guojun anxiously asked, "Did she agree to plead for you?"
Queen Gao nodded and said, "Yes, she asked me to come back and wait. Our son will definitely be sent back soon, don't worry!"
Gao Guojun couldn't help but frown, as he thought the queen was a little too optimistic.
Sure enough, until it was pitch dark, there was still no sign of Gao Yuzhe.
This result made Queen Gao very angry. She no longer cared about anything and immediately took people back to Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion.
At this time, the door of Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion was already closed, so she personally stepped forward and shouted, "Open the door quickly! Why is Madam Marquis not keeping her word? You accepted my gift for nothing, but you won't do anything for me. Do you think our Gao You country is easy to bully?"
Not long after, the gate of the Marquis' Mansion slowly opened, and Lin Yiwan appeared in front of her with a stern face.
Filled with anger and resentment, she rushed forward, raised her hand and slapped Lin Yiwan hard in the face.
She used a lot of force and had a ring on her finger. If she hit the target, she would definitely hurt Lin Yiwan's pretty cheek.
In fact, this was exactly what Queen Gao had in mind.
She hated Lin Yiwan so much that she wanted to destroy her face and make her ugly.
However, Lin Yiwan quickly grabbed her wrist, making it impossible for her to use all her strength.
She gnashed her teeth and yelled, "Let me go! You liar who doesn't keep his word, you must take this slap from me!"
Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows calmly: "Queen Gao, when did I ever break my promise?"
Queen Gao asked in shock, "What? You still want to deny it? You clearly accepted my box of top-quality white pearls, and you said you would help intercede for Prince Li to release my son. Why haven't I seen him yet?"
