"Reporting to you, sir... this identity token fell out of the robes that Young Master Mo Feiyan had changed out of..."

The servant replied cautiously.

Lord Sun's face was ashen as he stared at the two characters "Yan Fei" on the token, and a mournful sound filled the air:

"That Mo Feiyan is a load of rubbish! That kid is a complete liar. With such a powerful background, why didn't he reveal it sooner?!"

Yan Fei, isn't he Yan Yukou's old-fashioned son? The Imperial Censor's son, how did he end up in my hands? If I send him back…

No way, he knew how ruthless Butler Li was. Anyone who went through his hands would either die or be severely tortured, and would be in a terrible state.

But if we don't send it, what should we do with it?

Even if we kill him, it won't work. There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. What if this guy has friends nearby who know his identity? He can't die on his own turf!

This is a complete hot potato!

It's over, completely over. I've offended them terribly this time. What am I going to do?!

no!

We need to keep these people under control and keep the news a tight secret!

As long as Imperial Censor Yan doesn't discover that his son is in his hands, then everything is fine!

With a firm hand and a heavy heart, it was decided!

Lord Sun flicked his hand, and bang!

The servant saw that Lord Sun suddenly flew into a rage and smashed the teacup in his hand on the ground.

Tea was spilled all over the floor, and the servant kneeling on the ground vaguely guessed why Lord Sun was troubled, and quickly advised him:

"My lord, please calm your anger and don't ruin your health! But regarding Young Master Mo, should we... still have Steward Li continue...?"

Lord Sun snorted coldly:

"Continue?! No need. Go back and tell Steward Li to bring him here tomorrow. Make sure I don't see a single wound on him; if he does, cover it up!"

After saying that, he thought for a moment and then instructed his guards:

"Quickly, give this token to Chi Yue for inspection! Tell him to come back and handle it as soon as he has time."

"Yes, sir."

The servants and guards obeyed and left.

The next day, Yu Ling was brought to the main courtyard, looking radiant. She was wearing brand new clothes that were not only gorgeous but also of good quality, with exquisite patterns and embroidery on both her upper and lower garments.

As expected of such a magnificent mansion, even a casual new outfit looks so good on him, making him look exceptionally handsome. Yu Ling had no idea that this was because Lord Sun had seen the token and immediately sent someone to tailor-make the clothes for him like a rich second-generation.

Unlike the restrained attire of a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world) mansion, this azure blue robe had wide sleeves and a long hem, inevitably revealing the fair skin of his wrists. His left hand still had several bruises that had not faded, red and swollen, marks left from the beating he received yesterday, forming a stark contrast with his arms.

Butler Li stood to the side, a wicked smile on his face.

"Sir, I've already trained the person for you. What do you think?"

After saying that, he sighed with feigned regret:

"It's just a pity this hand won't go away anytime soon; it's an eyesore for me!"

"......"

Lord Sun then realized that the servant hadn't told Steward Li about the token, had he? Is that what I meant?

Forget it, if things really come to light, Steward Li can't be allowed to live.

Yu Ling looked at Butler Li with hatred in her eyes like a blade, cutting into his flesh inch by inch.

But every time Butler Li glanced over, he only received a well-behaved expression.

Lord Sun, seated at the head of the table, saw all of Yu Ling's little actions clearly.

That damn unlucky kid.

It's true, it's true... it really is...

Naughty!

This is the son of an imperial censor; how can you scold him?

cannot.

Not only can't they, they have to be pampered.

Let him forget the unpleasantness he suffered while in his hands, and don't tell his father. Although he is the deputy head of the Shadow Pavilion, he is still an official in the court on the surface. He can't lose his position!

"Young Master Mo, I don't need to teach you what to do when you see an official. What are you standing there for? Please."

Upon hearing Steward Li's words, Lord Sun was immediately enraged, but he still managed to suppress a few laughs and said:

"Steward Li, please stop talking. You've got the title wrong. It's not Young Master Mo, it's Young Master Yan!"

"Who is it?!"

Yu Ling had wanted to put on a show with Lord Sun, pretending to be gradually worn down by his power, but now she was completely bewildered.

"Young Master Yan, stop hiding it from me. Reveal your identity, and I will apologize to you."

Butler Li was also stunned. Why was Lord Sun suddenly so polite? Could it be? Could this idiot really have some extraordinary identity?!

Yu Ling shook her head, crossed her arms, and made an "X" gesture, indicating that she did not understand.

Lord Sun made a sudden realization and said:

"You mean you want me to keep quiet? No problem! I understand. Yan Yukou is just too strict with his kids. What's wrong with letting them go out to play for a while? Look at the mess this has made."

No, that's not what I meant!

I am Mo Feiyan, not Yan Fei!

Why can't you understand human speech?

Yu Ling nudged Butler Li, signaling him to translate.

Butler Li suddenly knelt down, stammering and so frightened he couldn't speak coherently:

"Young Master Yan... I was unaware of your identity... I have offended you... I have been so incredibly offensive... My sins are so incredibly small, I deserve to die! Please, please spare my life!"

No, he didn't. You've really misunderstood.

How did he become Yan Fei? Who is Yan Fei?

The original owner had spent a long time in the martial arts world and knew very little about the imperial court. These political intrigues were the main characters' roles, so Yu Ling, who inherited everything from the original owner, naturally knew nothing about them either.
