Yu Qizhe's expression remained unchanged. He only said to Song Nian outside the door, "Show the guest away."

When Wei Min stood up, she glanced at Yu Qizhe and saw that his black eyes were like cold stars, as if he could see through people's hearts. She didn't know whether he believed her words or not. She didn't know where the impulse came from, and said, "The prince forced my father to kill Zhai Huaiying. Although my father sent people to do it, Zhai Huaiying is not dead. I hope that Lord Yu will show mercy in the future. This case has nothing to do with my father."

Wei Min's tone was somewhat urgent, fearing that Yu Qizhe would not believe it. "I heard today that the prince wanted to marry me as a concubine, but I really didn't want to, so I came to tell you." She paused, "I intend to leave the capital and go to Pingliang Prefecture to avoid disaster. Lord Yu, is there anything you want me to say to Miss Liu San?"

Although she said that the marriage was up to her parents, she was still reluctant in her heart. She was unwilling to live with a man casually for the rest of her life, so when she left, she had the idea of ​​running away from home to avoid trouble, so she asked her personal maid to pack up her money and valuables. If she went to live with her relatives now, there was no guarantee that someone would not report her to her parents. After thinking it over, she felt that going to Pingliang Prefecture to live with Liu Yaoyu would be a good place to go.

But Yu Qizhe was as still as a mountain, and it was very difficult to tell what he was thinking, so Wei Min simply told him the truth, hoping that this man really had some means to pull Zhu Yu off the position of crown prince.

After hearing what Miss Liu San said, Wei Min felt that the expression on Yu Qizhe's face became less cold and rejecting.

Yu Qizhe was silent for a moment and shook his head.

Wei Min felt a little disappointed. It seemed that just as Yu Jiao said, Yu Qizhe seemed to have only brotherly and sister feelings towards her.

She said, "Master Yu, I will take my leave now."

Song Nian sent Wei Min out the door. Yu Qizhe sat quietly in the main hall for a while. The skylight faded in the courtyard and the candlelight flickered in the house. Yu Qizhe slowly exhaled, rubbed the mutton-fat jade around his waist, and suppressed his restless heart and rapid desire.

No rush, once Zhu Yu's matter is settled, he can go to Liu's house to propose marriage, and then...

Yu Qizhe just clenched the jade pendant in his hand and was able to marry the person he had always dreamed of.

Song came in: "Qizhe, it's time to eat."

Yu Qizhe came to his senses, went back to his room to change out of his official robes, and when he returned to the main hall, the dining table was already full of people.

The courtyard opposite also started cooking and hired a cook, but Yu Ruhai was unwilling to take the brothers Yu Zhou and Yu Jinshu to eat in that courtyard, fearing that this would be tantamount to splitting up with the second branch of the family. So he drove away the cook from the courtyard opposite and had to eat in Yu Qizhe's courtyard every day.

As soon as Yu Qizhe sat down, Yu Ruhai said with a smile: "I heard from the servants that the Miss Wei today is the legitimate daughter of the Dali Temple Minister. You and I are a perfect match. You are also at the age to get married. Although you still have three older brothers who are not married, you can't delay your good marriage. If you are interested in Miss Wei, ask your mother to invite a matchmaker to the Wei Mansion to mediate."

"Grandfather, don't worry about my marriage." Yu Qizhe said in a slightly cold tone: "I have nothing to do with Miss Wei, so please don't speculate."

Yu Ruhai smiled awkwardly. If it was in the past, he would never tolerate Yu Qizhe's attitude. But now the Yu family all depended on Yu Qizhe. No matter how uncomfortable Yu Ruhai felt, he could only suppress it and said with a smile: "Grandfather misunderstood. You should pay more attention to your marriage."

Yu Qizhe said nothing and ate quietly.

Yu Jinshu glanced at him quietly, cleared his throat, and said, "Guess who my fourth brother and I met today?"

No one spoke at the dinner table. Yu Mengshan and Song just picked up their dishes and ate quietly.

Seeing this, Yu Zhoushi asked, "Who did you see? Is there anyone you know in the capital?"

Yu Jinshu saw someone delivering the message and hurriedly said, "My fourth brother and I met Chen Rou!" He didn't care about eating, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "She was kicked out of the mansion. I heard that she was good friends with the young lady of the Zhou family, the Shaoqing of the Imperial Household Department, but she hooked up with the young master Zhou behind the young lady's back and persuaded the young master to take her into the mansion as a concubine. The young lady of the Zhou family was so angry about these two that she wanted to divorce. Fortunately, the father of the young lady of the Zhou family was also a high-ranking official. He came forward to seek justice for the young lady of the Zhou family and let the Zhou family kick Chen Rou out of the mansion."

He said with interest, "You didn't see how embarrassed Chen Rou was. Everyone in the teahouse called her shameless!"

Yu Jinshu finally came to the capital, so he has been busy these days. He dragged Yu Jinyan around the city. Today, he happened to meet Chen Rou, who was beaten and kicked out of the house, on the street. He asked around in the crowd and finally heard about this interesting story.

Song Chun and Yu Mengshan were surprised and found it quite unexpected.

Yu Ruhai snorted and laughed, "It's true that things change over time. When the Chen family saw that the fifth brother was not in good health, they broke their promise and broke off the engagement, hoping to climb up the social ladder. The Chen family probably never thought that today our fifth brother is the one they can't even climb up to!"

After that, Yu Ruhai quickly reminded Yu Qizhe: "Fifth brother, don't feel sorry for Chen Rou. There is nothing good in their Chen family!"

Yu Qizhe did not comment, just responded indifferently, not paying any attention to this matter at all.

After dinner, a Jinyiwei came to pass on a message for Lu Jin, and Yu Qizhe went to the Gongwei Division in the dark.

-

At Zhou's house, Yang Jiyan smashed a room full of porcelain, but her face didn't look any better. She never expected that her father would not help her divorce from Zhou Yun, and only put pressure on her to ruin Zhou Yun's plan to take Chen Rou as a concubine. This was completely contrary to her imagination.

Her father hated her. Yang Jiyan's fingernails almost broke her palms. She was very sure that her father did not allow her to divorce Zhou Yun because he was punishing her... and he had killed her mother.
