"Your analysis makes sense. Having a troublemaker around is indeed quite annoying. It seems that Jiang Mian's patience has been exhausted by the Chen family."

Mo Lan stroked the pointer in her hand, her eyes flashing. After putting the tile back, she leaped up and headed straight for the direction Jiang Mian had left in.

Chenxin Garden has a rather elegant name, but the people who live here aren't very nice.

It landed lightly on the roof, lifting another tile, and saw Jiang Mian sitting in the side hall brewing tea with a gloomy expression.

“Your Highness, please do not be angry. Your attitude today has served as a warning to the Chen family. Your great-uncle is a man of keen insight and will surely understand Your Highness’s intentions. He will definitely be more restrained in his actions in the future.”

Mu Zi had been by the Prince's side for many years and knew his temperament very well.

"I hope so. It's my fault, I should have stopped it sooner." Jiang Mian tugged at the corner of his lips. He had seen through the Chen family over the years, and the phrase "knowing when to stop" didn't apply to them at all.

"Thanks to that girl's stubborn nature, she taught the Chen family a lesson."

“The lord is right. That girl is indeed very capable. She managed to shake off all the people we sent.”

Mu Zi smiled. Actually, he was also curious about whose daughter she was.

In Ye County, someone actually managed to slip away right under their noses; you can't help but admire them.

"Heh... If you weren't skilled, how could you have taken on Chen Kun and his dozen or so men?"

Thinking of that girl who didn't hold back when whipping him, Jiang Mian's brow relaxed. Such a straightforward girl was a rare sight these days.

"Your Highness, there is something I am unsure whether I should say."

"Speak,"

"That girl seems to be arrogant and unruly. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to let someone like that live in Ye County?" If she causes any more trouble, it might panic among the people.

Hearing his subordinates' doubts, Jiang Mian scoffed, "Ha~, you really think Chen Han is thinking of us? He just wants to use me to take revenge."

The fact that the other party dared to openly provoke the Chen family shows that they are fearless. Given Chen Han's cautious nature, they must be afraid of offending someone they shouldn't have. That's why they wanted to use him to teach the other party a lesson.

"What does the lord mean?" Mu Zi looked up at the lord's ambiguous smile and felt a pang of unease. She had a feeling that the Chen family was about to suffer even more misfortune.

"Heh~, I have no intention of intervening. If the Chen family is not satisfied, let them do it themselves. That girl is not one to suffer losses. If the two sides continue to confront each other, the winner will depend on luck."

Jiang Mian fiddled with the tea set in front of him and chuckled, "Ye County is a place where all sorts of people mingle. There are countless merchants coming and going from the north and south. It's not surprising that you might encounter one or two formidable ones."

"Your Highness is wise." Mu Zi looked enlightened. What the prince said was true. Those who suffered losses and those who benefited each had to rely on their own abilities. It was fair to them.

Mo Lan was already on the rooftop, listening to their conversation silently.

No wonder she could become the ruler of a prefecture; she really has some skills. Everyone wanted to use someone else to do their dirty work, and coincidentally, she was the steel knife that this girl was talking about.

Thinking of this, Mo Lan stared intently at Jiang Mian, and slowly, a faint gray aura emanated from his body.

Surprisingly, this person has no history of killing. How rare!

Or were they offset by some other merits and demerits?

“The eldest brother is right. Since he can sit in the position of a princess, it is impossible not to get tainted with blood. But if he can protect the peace of the people in the area, that is also a merit. The merits and demerits cancel each other out, and that is the gray area.”
