Wen Lan was overjoyed when he heard Xiao Yan's words. On the way back, he couldn't help but say to Jin Qiu beside him:
"I don't know which bandits are so sensible. Why didn't they kill that old guy Wu Xin? If they kill him, the peace talks will be over."
"Wu Xin is really getting more timid as he gets older. Where's the courage he had to seize the eight cities in the northern border? Now he's actually urging the emperor to negotiate peace. Even the bandits can't stand it..."
Jinqiu has been serving Wenlan since she was a child. When Wenlan entered the palace, she followed her in and became a maid. After hearing the young lady's outrageous words, Wenlan wished she could cover her mouth.
"Miss, please keep your voice down. Don't let anyone hear you. This is not something we should discuss. Have you forgotten what your wife told you before you left? Now that you're married, you should take good care of your husband and children. Don't be as wild as before."
"I know, I know. Talking to you is so boring!" Wen Lan curled his lips in disapproval. "Those taverns and teahouses are full of people discussing state affairs. Can the emperor really arrest and kill them all? The people's will cannot be violated!"
Jin Qiu said with a sad face, "I don't understand these things. These matters have nothing to do with you, young lady. You should think about how to please His Highness. You have offended His Highness today."
Wen Lan snorted coldly, "Offended, so be it. I don't care! Look at how hard Lin Wan'er works, yet Your Highness doesn't treat her with a kind face."
Speaking of Lin Wan'er, Wen Lan thought of Yun Fengyi.
Yun Fengyi's background as a criminal slave was no longer a secret, and it was easy to find out that she was a descendant of the Duke of Ji's Mansion. Wen Lan suddenly became excited.
"Let's not go back. Let's go find Yun Fengyi. She will definitely be able to talk to me."
Jin Qiu responded with a smile, "Miss, you finally figured it out. The prince's wife has formed a faction with Lin Liangyuan. We should make friends with Yun Fengyi. Yun Fengyi's status is a bit lower, but His Highness dotes on her..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking and go!"
The master and servant walked for a long time before they arrived at Yun Fengyi's yard.
Wen Lan frowned in disdain. "Didn't you say that His Highness dotes on her? And you let her live in a place like this? It's not even as good as the house you live in."
Jin Qiu wanted to pry open his young lady's brain and teach her the ways to survive in the inner house. It turned out that the young lady had not listened to a word that the lady had taught her over the years.
"Young lady, why can't you see the light? The prince's consort has just entered the palace. If Your Highness favors Yun Fengyi, won't he be envied? As long as Your Highness has Yun Fengyi in his heart, she will surely make a comeback in the future."
Wen Lan said perfunctorily: "Yeah, yeah, I know, go and knock on the door."
Yuling stood at the door, looking at Wen Liangyuan who had suddenly come to visit, and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Hello, Wen Liangyuan. Yun Fengyi...she's caught a cold. I'm afraid she'll pass on the illness to Liangyuan. So, please go back."
Wenlan kept looking inside, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see anyone clearly. She became a little anxious.
"Why did she get sick? Did you call the imperial physician? She's just a Fengyi, so I'm afraid she's not qualified to call the imperial physician. Jinqiu, go to the Imperial Hospital and find an imperial physician to come and see Yun Fengyi."
Yuling struggled to stop Wenlan and said anxiously, "Thank you Liangyuan for your concern. Our Fengyi is fine. He will be fine after a good sleep. When Fengyi recovers, I will definitely thank Liangyuan in person."
"Meow~" A kitten rushed out of the house, tripped over the threshold, and rolled to Wenlan's feet.
"Ah ...
Xiaoxiao struggled in Wenlan's arms, but could not escape from Wenlan's clutches.
Yuling took out a few chicken sticks from her body and handed them to Wenlan. Wenlan was immersed in the joy of feeding the kitten and did not mention going in.
"Did Yun Fengyi go out? Your Highness must have taken her out, right? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Lend me the kitten for two days, and I promise not to leak the secret."
Yuling had no choice but to watch Xiaoxiao being taken away.
Wenlan took the kitten back to her yard in a good mood. She liked cats very much, but her mother was in poor health and would cough incessantly if she came into contact with cat hair, so she never had a kitten of her own.
Petting other people's kittens can also satisfy your cravings.
Jin Qiu was extremely excited. "Miss, you finally got it. With this handle, you won't have to worry about Yun Fengyi not helping you in the future. When Yun Fengyi comes to pick up Xiaomao, you can have a good talk with her."
"Miss, you've seen it too. The eldest prince is a man who values friendship and loyalty. He's also very devoted to Yun Fengyi. Miss, you and the eldest prince still have some old acquaintances. Sun Jiayi is nothing. Once Miss wins his favor, you won't have to be overshadowed by her!"
Jinqiu spoke passionately, but Wenlan showed little interest.
"What do you mean by loyalty and righteousness? If I were Yun Fengyi, and my beloved had abandoned me in a shabby yard, and was bullied by that bastard Sun Jiayi all day long, I would have made a scene long ago! She can endure these grievances, but I can't."
"The one I like must treat me wholeheartedly. Xiao Yan has so many women around him, I don't care about them. Anyway, I have my father and brother around, they will never let me suffer. Let's just live one day at a time."
Two days later, Ji Yunhuan went to Wenlan's yard to pick up Xiaoxiao.
Wenlan's personality was very much to her liking, he was unrestrained and free-spirited. He took her to play pot-to-pot and archery in the yard. The two of them had a great time chatting and playing until sunset before she went back.
Wenlan did not mention the day she left the palace. Ji Yun accepted Wenlan's kindness and asked Xiao Yan to find a kitten to give to Wenlan.
The snow-white kitten instantly captured Wenlan's heart, and Wenlan wanted to become sworn brothers with Ji Yunhuan on the spot!
