They had watched Gong Zishang grow up, and they knew Gong Liushang's personality very well. Right now, Gong Zishang appeared to be the master of the Shang Palace, but who could guarantee that the next master wouldn't be? If they really had to choose between the two, they would definitely choose Gong Zishang without hesitation!
Even if it's a son, so what? He was born to a maid who climbed into the palace's bedchamber. If it were a woman selected from outside the palace, they wouldn't think this way. After all, for a maid of the principal wife to have climbed into her master's bed—such a thing happening in the palace is simply too shameful!
Without a second thought, Young Master Hua stuffed the magnet into the package, slung it over his shoulder, and stealthily headed outside. Gong Ziyu and Xue Chongzi, who were practicing outside, suddenly felt something pulling at their swords, sending them flying towards Young Master Hua.
This startled Young Master Hua, who was hiding behind the door observing the opportunity, so much so that he retreated repeatedly. This was no joke! Young Master Hua threw the package on his back to the ground. He remembered that Gong Yuanzheng had used this thing to get the things out of the cold pool that morning.
"Clang!" The two swords were directly attracted to the magnet. Xue Chongzi and Gong Ziyu, who had followed, relaxed slightly at the sight. However, Hua Gongzi kept staring at the swords that were attracted to the magnet, as if he had thought of something.
Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. He clapped one hand on the other and exclaimed with delight, "I've got it! This thing called a magnet is called a magnet. Since it can attract iron boxes, it can attract anything related to iron. I have a bold idea!" With that thought, Young Master Hua didn't care about anything else. He grabbed the magnet from the ground, along with his two swords, and ran away.
This terrified Gong Ziyu. If Gong Yuanzheng found out that the magnet he lent him had been taken by this person, he would be in serious trouble, if not dead!
"Don't run! Give it back!" Gong Ziyu shouted at Hua Gongzi, who was running ahead, as he ran. Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi had no choice but to follow.
This was the first time they had ever seen someone run away halfway through sword practice. Furthermore, with Xue Chongzi and Young Master Xue following them, they were seen by countless people along the way. Soon, the three elders on the front mountain learned of this.
Thinking something serious had happened, the group hurriedly ran towards the back mountain. This scene left the servants somewhat dumbfounded. Of course, the news also reached Jin Fu's ears, and he quickly went to ask Gong Shangjiao for instructions.
Gong Shangjiao and Gong Yuanzheng had already finished discussing matters. Gong Ruanruan had fallen asleep sometime earlier, sleeping soundly on the soft couch. Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the door, followed by Jin Fu's voice, "Young Master, Young Master Zheng, the three elders suddenly rushed towards the back mountain. It seems that the young master of Huagong is carrying a bundle with two swords on it, running ahead, followed closely by Young Master Yu, and then Xue Chongzi and Young Master Xue."
This completely baffled the two people in the room. It was one thing for Young Master Hua and Gong Ziyu to be constantly on the go, given their free-spirited natures, especially Young Master Hua, who knew that Gong Zishang had a crush on him, though they hadn't yet made it public.
He remembered that although Yukishige was a child, he felt that she was a calm and steady person. She would not let the two of them act recklessly in front of him. He was afraid that something terrible had really happened.
Thinking of Ruan Ruan, he said, "Yuan Zheng, you stay here and take care of Ruan Ruan. I'm going to the back mountain."
