Hongzao watched her retreating figure with a worried expression, thinking to herself, "Miss is usually quite clever, how come she's acting so silly now, and even saying that the young master isn't a male fox spirit?"

"But the Prince of Qi's son has been coming to the manor a lot these days, it's obvious he likes the young lady..."

"What does this have to do with me? Am I supposed to go and ask him what he likes about me so I can change it?"

Hongzao chuckled: "If the Prince of Qi heard Miss say that, he would probably be furious. However, the Prince of Qi's mansion is very powerful, and the master and mistress intend to marry you off to him. If your affair with the son-in-law is exposed, it will probably be difficult to handle."

"I know, I know, when did you become such a nagging old woman?" Pei Mianman slammed the jewelry she had just picked up onto the table. Thinking about these things, she felt that her good mood for the whole morning had been ruined.

Seeing that the young lady was angry, Hongzao stuck out her tongue and dared not say anything more.

Meanwhile, Zu An returned to the residence and happened to run into Pei You and Gao Ying, who were doing their morning exercise there.

He couldn't help but nod in approval. Although the two were from aristocratic families, their current level of cultivation at such a young age was clearly the result of their own hard work and diligent practice.

At this moment, the two also saw him. Pei You leaned in and smelled him, and immediately became jealous: "What an alluring fragrance! Brother Gao, you say we cultivate day and night, but our cultivation is still far inferior to those who seek pleasure every day? Where is justice? Where is morality? Where is justice?"

The last sentence was spoken when he leaned close to Zaun.

"He could have easily become a heartthrob, but he insists on being a goofball." Seeing his cheeky expression, Zu'an couldn't help but laugh.

Pei You snorted: "I only showed my true self to you because I considered you brothers, and you dare to laugh at me? Tell me the address of the brothel you went to, so that we can mend our broken friendship."

"I went there to investigate a case," Zu'an said helplessly.

"I don't believe you for a second." Pei You's eyes widened.

Even Gao Ying, who was standing to the side, looked strange. His grandfather's lie was rather clumsy.

Zuan coughed lightly: "Very well, I just need your help to investigate a courtesan..."

Upon hearing this, Pei You and Gao Ying's eyes lit up.

"Ahem!" Just then, Sang Hong passed by and said earnestly, "You are now imperial envoys, representing the face of the court. Don't do anything outrageous."

Pei You's expression turned serious: "Lord Sang, rest assured, I cannot guarantee anything about the two of them, but I am absolutely irreconcilable with gambling and drugs."

Sang Hong chuckled, "Tsk tsk, not a single word about pornography."

Pei You immediately changed his tune: "Heaven above, I, Pei You, am sworn enemies of gambling and drugs!"

Sang Hong: w(?Д?)w

Zu An: w(?Д?)w

Gao Ying: w(?Д?)w
