Chapter 335 Holding Back and Unleashing

"Isn't that the sachet that Miss Yan gave to Young Master Sun and Young Master Luo? I didn't expect that His Highness the Third Prince also has one!"

A mocking voice rang out, and someone immediately chimed in, "I didn't expect Miss Yan to be so open-minded, casting a wide net and not missing a single one!"

The sound of their discussion naturally reached Lu Yuanbin's ears. He turned around and looked at Lu Youming, and sure enough, he saw that Lu Youming was holding a sachet in his hand.

"Third Brother, where did you get this?" Lu Yuanbin narrowed his eyes.

"The Third Prince's gift was also delivered by this servant on behalf of Miss."

Seeing Lu Youming's shifty eyes, the maidservant quickly spoke up.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Lu Youming's cold gaze swept over her, and the maid trembled and quickly lowered her head.

Lu Yuanbin then realized that this whole affair was actually the third brother's scheme. The third brother had used Yan Meier's beauty to first seduce Sun Linrui, and then Luo Hao. He then used the pretext of meeting Luo Hao to make him lose control, while at the same time he sent his maid to find Sun Linrui, which enraged Sun Linrui, who ultimately beat Luo Hao to death on the spot.

Seeing Lu Yuanbin's gaze grow deeper, Lu Youming had obviously realized this as well. Just as he was about to explain, he heard Lu Yuanbin say, "Third brother is really good at scheming. I thought third brother really wanted to invite his younger brother for tea, but I didn't expect it to be a show for his younger brother."

This play, in the name of his loss of support, is truly excellent.

"Fifth brother, let me explain." Lu Youming was also dumbfounded. If it were all his doing, that would be one thing. But today, he knew nothing about any of this, and before he could even react, Lu Yuanbin had already blamed everything on him.

"My brother has other matters to attend to, so he will return to his residence first."

After finishing speaking, Lu Yuanbin didn't even look at Lu Youming. He turned to Gu Shuyan, bowed apologetically, and then left with his men.

Seeing this, the others also had their own guesses, so they all said goodbye to Lu Youming and left, and even Gu Shuyan slowly withdrew.

Everyone left in an instant, leaving only Lu Youming and Sun Linrui with a sachet in each hand.

"Young Master Sun, is what that maid said true?"

Lu Youming was born a prince, and countless women fawned over him. Yet, the one he finally set his sights on turned out to be so dissolute.

If he guessed correctly, Yan Meier had probably already been defiled by Luo Hao. Such a shameless woman dared to dream of entering the Third Prince's residence; she was simply delusional.

"perhaps."

Sun Linrui was also confused at this moment. Yan Meier clearly said in her letter that she was only in love with him, so what was going on with this Third Prince?

Looking at the Third Prince's enviable appearance, it seemed normal for Yan Meier to be attracted to him. Although she was not bad-looking, she was not as popular as a scholarly man like Lu Youming.

Sun Linrui's behavior had already proven the truth in the maid's words. After glancing at Luo Hao, who was already lifeless, Lu Youming turned his hand and left the teahouse as well.

As soon as Gu Shuyan came downstairs, Xu Feng came over with Gu Yuxin and Gu Yuhe, while Pearl also returned with several boxes of rouge.

"Are you hungry? Let's find a restaurant to eat first?"

Gu Shuyan and Pearl exchanged a subtle glance, then pointed to several restaurants not far away and made their suggestions.

"Okay, I'm starving!" Gu Yuhe was the most mischievous, and also the one who got hungry the fastest.

Not long after the three sisters left the teahouse, people from the Duke's Mansion arrived. Naturally, the Duke's Mansion was going to make a big fuss about Luo Hao's death, but none of this concerned Gu Shuyan.

She had achieved her goal, and as for Luo Hao's death, Gu Shuyan felt no sympathy whatsoever.

Over the years, Luo Hao has committed numerous misdeeds and evil deeds. Moreover, the people of the Duke of Anguo's mansion have repeatedly plotted against her, even attempting to ruin her reputation. Gu Shuyan had been patiently enduring this situation precisely to bring the Duke of Anguo's mansion into utter despair.

She's not a good person either, so naturally she wouldn't feel guilty for a bad person.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch.

In the capital, thanks to Gu Shuyan's machinations, not only did Luo Hao die, but Lu Yuanbin and Lu Youming also completely tore away their facade.

Meanwhile, Xu Yunzhi, far away on the frontier, sat in his room, carefully sketching something with his brush.

"Master, our people are all arranged. When can we start transporting the goods?"

A man walked in from outside. He was tall and looked nothing like a person from the Central Plains, but rather had some characteristics of someone from the border regions.

"The goods have been delivered to General Ji!"

Xu Yunzhi focused intently on his painting, never once glancing at the man.

"It's already been sent over, but it seems that the second master of the Ji family is trying to obstruct it."

The man recalled the face of Second Master Ji and was momentarily unsure whether he should listen to General Ji.

However, Xu Yunzhi was not worried at all, "Have the person you prepared deliver it to me."

The man nodded upon hearing this, but he was still somewhat worried. Little did he know that although Second Master Ji was leading troops alongside General Ji, he was actually a greedy and lecherous man.

If he still had reservations when faced with the temptation of huge profits, then if two beauties were added to the mix, Second Master Ji would definitely give in.

It must be said that Xu Yunzhi's calculations were truly accurate. Just as he predicted, as soon as the two men arrived at the Ji family's courtyard, the letter immediately went to the old general's room.

Upon reading the letter written by his grandson, General Ji issued the clearance documents almost without hesitation.

"Young master, are we just going to sneak around here and watch like this?"

Outside the small courtyard where Xu Yunzhi was temporarily staying, the guards couldn't help but worry about their young master's carefree and irresponsible demeanor.

The Grand Secretary entrusted such an important matter to his young master, but since arriving on this frontier, his young master has done nothing of substance except for eating and drinking.

They had finally managed to get him to keep an eye on things for a long time, and they were about to burn their eyebrows in frustration, but their young master still didn't move an inch.

"Don't rush, wait a little longer."

Ji Wenxuan glanced at his attendant, his eyes full of amusement, as if he wasn't the one keeping watch, but rather the one being watched.

"Young Master, Young Master Xu has gone out."

As Ji Wenxuan was speaking, Xu Yunzhi finally came out of the study. After watching him leave with a few people, Ji Wenxuan stood up with a smile.

Let's go!

As Ji Wenxuan was about to go inside, the guard quickly stopped him, saying, "Young Master, over there."

Pointing to the spot where Xu Yunzhi had left, the guard followed him. Ji Wenxuan, looking completely bewildered, asked, "Why are we going over there? I came to this room..."

Seeing Ji Wenxuan's appearance, the guard admitted defeat.
