Yanchuan City.
The Zhu family.
Sweating profusely, Madam Ma dismounted, patted the man beside her, and said, "Get up and drink the medicine in that bowl on the table."
The man sat up, glanced at the table, his back to Madam Ma, and looked displeased.
The man looked very young, in his early twenties, with a fair and clean face, but a very strong physique.
'Gulp gulp gulp...' The man finished his medicine and sat motionless at the table, seemingly deliberately prolonging the time, chatting idly with Madam Ma: 'Madam, has the Princess been looking for you these past few days?'
Upon hearing this, Madam Ma became somewhat angry and said, "They didn't come to see me, probably because they don't want me to make money!"
Madam Ma sat up and leaned against the headboard, frowning as she said, "A princess of such high status, yet so stingy!"
The man asked, "So, what does Madam intend to do?"
"Tomorrow I'll have Cheng Xu come up with a plan to remind her. If she still doesn't take it, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Then the whole of Dajing will know that the Princess is selling bras in Yanchuan, and everyone will laugh their heads off!"
Madam Ma laughed triumphantly and said, "No, it's not just Dajing. Tu Wanhu's princess paintings sell very well in Nanzhou, and Yuan Yun is very famous in Nanzhou. In the end, the whole of Nanzhou will laugh at her!"
"Give her another chance. If she refuses to listen to reason, I'll make her suffer the consequences!"
The man said worriedly, "What if she wants to retaliate against you?"
"I haven't broken the law. I'm the wife of the prefect. How could she possibly kill innocent people indiscriminately?" Madam Ma sneered. "Don't worry, she has a noble status. The more noble a person is, the more they have to follow the rules."
The man said admiringly, "Madam is truly intelligent and decisive; she has the Princess figured out perfectly!"
"Alright, are you done drinking? If you are, come and get to work!"
"He's here..." the man said slowly, continuing to stall for time, "Madam, you just mentioned Master Tu. I heard he came to Yanchuan. Have you met him?"
"Why bring him up when we're together?"
"I was just curious because I heard that Master Tu had argued with the prefect before. The prefect is old, perhaps..."
"Shut up!" Madam Ma glanced at the man with displeasure and said, "You are not allowed to speak ill of the prefect behind his back. No matter what he is like to others, he is always good to me."
"yes……"
"Alright, stop dawdling and come here right now!"
Mrs. Ma smiled again and pulled the man onto the bed.
Outside the Zhu family gate.
Yuan Yun stopped with A Tao and Heng Wenhao, while He Zhi led the guards and rushed forward.
The Zhu family guard was startled and exclaimed, "What...what are you doing?!"
"The Princess has arrived!"
"Princess?! Wait...wait a moment, I'll go inform her..."
"Announce to your mother!" He Zhi kicked the man over and roared, "Do I need to announce the arrival of the Princess? Do you dare make Her Highness wait outside?"
"Get out of here!!!"
He Zhi exuded an imposing aura, and with a roar, he frightened the guards outside the door into kneeling down.
Yuan Yun smiled. This was exactly the kind of efficiency He Zhi had in doing things. It saved time and prevented the Zhu family from having a chance to tip off Madam Ma.
After a group of people entered the courtyard, another group of guards came and blocked their way.
He Zhi asked, "Where is Zhu Shan?"
The guards looked at each other in bewilderment.
He Zhi drew his knife and held it to the neck of a guard, angrily saying, "Take me with you if you want to live!"
At this moment, Zhu Guoneng rushed over and knelt down in front of Yuan Yun to pay his respects.
Yuan Yun said, "Zhu Guoneng, I'm not here to cause you trouble. I have something to discuss with your sister, Zhu Shan."
Zhu Guoneng said, "Please come to the main hall and sit for a while, Your Highness. I will send someone to fetch Zhu Shan right away."
"No need. Have your men lead the way. I will go find her."
"this……"
"I will only say what I say once."
He Zhi ignored Zhu Guoneng and instead held a knife to the neck of Zhu Guoneng's attendant, shouting, "Lead the way! If you lead us the wrong way or take a detour, you will be considered to have deceived Her Highness the Princess, and you will be killed on the spot!"
"Yes, yes, yes..." The attendant was so frightened that his teeth chattered, and he quickly led He Zhi deeper into the courtyard.
Zhu Guoneng sighed deeply, knowing there was nothing he could do.
But he couldn't understand why the prefect should be the one to catch adulterers...
What does this have to do with Princess Guan?
He grasped at a straw and whispered to those around him, "Quickly go and fetch Commander Li."
Deep inside the mansion, He Zhi kicked open the door, and several guards rushed in with their swords drawn, while the rest surrounded the house.
Zhu Shan and the young man were still entangled in bed when they heard a noise and quickly shrank to the foot of the bed, wrapping themselves in the blankets.
"What are you doing?!" Zhu Shan exclaimed in alarm.
"Brother! Big brother!!"
Zhu Shan didn't call Zhu Guoneng in, but saw Yuan Yun and was immediately dumbfounded.
Yuan Yun looked around, walked to the table and sat down. She glanced at the empty bowl on the table, then at the man on the bed, and laughed, "Mrs. Ma is quite the player..."
“Sister Ayun…”
"Insolence!" Atao grabbed an empty bowl and smashed it under the bed, shouting, "You're not even kneeling before the Princess?!"
Zhu Shan hesitated. If he knelt down like this, wouldn't he be naked?
The man beside her acted decisively, immediately scrambling off the bed, kneeling down, and bowing, saying, "This humble subject pays respects to Your Highness, the Princess!"
"What a clever little puppy."
Yuan Yun sneered, looked at Zhu Shan, and said, "Madam Ma, how can you do this to the Prefect?"
Seeing the posture of Yuan Yun and the soldiers, Zhu Shan understood that Yuan Yun had come specifically to deal with her. She remained calm and said, "This is my private matter. I haven't broken the law!"
