Just the Way

"The Third Prince came here just to say these things?"

After listening to his calm words, Ouyang Qing sighed and sat down with a hint of regret.

Let's get down to business.

Ouyang Qing squinted and spoke.

"My second elder brother seems to have his eye on this Marquis's mansion."

The Su family was renowned, and Su's father also wielded considerable influence.

It is a very important part.

However, Su's father was an upright man and despised such things as forming cliques.

Therefore, he was never involved in the struggle for the throne.

He also kept his distance from the princes.

Ji Yu's eyelids twitched.

"Su Haihua?"

Ouyang Qing smiled.

"How could you think of that? That's right, my second brother plans to use Su Haihua to seize control of the Su family estate."

Ouyang Qing picked up a pastry from the table and took a bite.

unhurried

“Su Haihua has allied with my second brother. If he wants to obtain the Marquis’s mansion, he only needs to eliminate one person.”

Ji Yu remained expressionless.

Ouyang Qing knew he must have guessed it.

"Your young marquis."

With Su Yan gone, the Marquis's mansion has no successor.

The only suitable heir is to be found among collateral relatives.

Among the collateral relatives, only Su Haihua stood out and was also the most favored by Su's father.

It's only a matter of time before the Marquis's mansion falls into Su Haihua's hands.

Ouyang Qing, munching on her pastry, was no longer in a hurry.

He looked at Ji Yu carefully.

A tsk-tsk sound

"I have never seen you treat me like this before."

The mention of this matter reminded Ouyang Qing of past events.

"Back in the day, I almost died at the hands of bandits, with a knife hanging over my neck. Didn't you finish your tea before coming to save me, Your Highness?"

Look at how serious he is now.

Ouyang Qing started to feel acid reflux.

"What's so great about that young marquis? He's taken in so many beautiful concubines. Sooner or later he'll fall for another girl from another family."

"You're an old man, how will you compete with those young girls for their affections?"

As he was speaking, Ouyang Qing coughed.

"Come with me. As for your indenture, I'll get it back for you."

In fact, for Ouyang Qing, it didn't matter where Ji Yu stayed.

It's not that particular.

But it seems that Ji Yu is becoming more and more attached to that pretty boy.

Thinking back on the eight years I've known him, we've been through thick and thin together.

But I've never seen him so nervous about himself.

I immediately felt resentful.

If he were a girl, she could understand that he was experiencing his first love.

But that pretty boy is a seasoned womanizer who can attract both men and women.

What exactly did Ji Yu see in him?

As she was saying this, a voice came from the doorway.

Su Yan is back.

Then, the Third Prince looked at the face that was expressionless and a gentle smile appeared on it.

Ouyang Qing snorted twice and rolled her eyes.

He was fanning himself vigorously with a fan.

Su Yan's eyes lit up when she saw the people in the pavilion, and she walked over.

Speak

"Have you been sitting here the whole time?"

Ji Yu nodded

"Wait for the Marquis to return."

As she spoke, Ji Yu carried the pastry and pushed it in front of Su Yan.

Su Yan picked up the pastry and took two bites.

One side

"I've heard that there's a Qixi Festival in the city tonight. Shall we go and see it?"

Ji Yu looked up and asked

"Is Your Excellency going?"

Su Yan nodded

"kindness"

As she spoke, Su Yan grasped Ji Yu's hand.

"Ji Yu will go with the Marquis."

Ouyang Qing heard Ji Yu's voice, which contained a hint of laughter.

Then he noticed that all the pastries in front of him had been dragged towards Su Yan's side.

He hummed twice.

I'm too lazy to bother with it anymore.

muttering to himself

"What are two grown men doing participating in the Qixi Festival?"
