Chapter 1767 Successor
Manbao cleared his throat and said solemnly, "We are here to see you on behalf of Senior Brother Yang."
Bai Shan stopped Manbao, looked around, and asked, "We're already at your door. Why don't you invite us in for a seat?"
The Fifth Prince turned and let them in, saying, "Mingda and Changyu are here too. They and the Sixth Prince are wandering around. I'll take you to find them."
Lord Yang, who had already walked away, also slowed down his pace. He turned back slightly and saw them following the Fifth Prince into the house. He frowned slightly, "Why are they here? Was it the Fifth Prince who invited them?"
How would the servant know?
However, he still replied, "Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu are on good terms with them, so they might have been invited by the two princesses."
Lord Yang nodded, and ran forward for a while before realizing something was wrong. He reined in his horse and asked, "Aren't they guests at our house?"
The servant was also stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Maybe the master has finished entertaining, so..."
The servant couldn't continue. It was noon, time for lunch. How could the master be so rude as to let people leave?
Lord Yang held the reins in his hand and sat on the horse with an uncertain expression for a while, but finally turned the horse around and went back.
At this time, Bai Shan and the others had just entered his palace with the Fifth Prince and were looking around. "Where in your garden is the most confidential?"
Fifth Prince: ...
He clasped his hands together and asked directly, "If you have anything to say, just talk about it here. Is there anything you can't tell others?"
The three of them stood opposite the Fifth Prince, watching him open his mouth, and suddenly they didn't know how to open it again.
The Fifth Prince looked at him in surprise, "Is there anything else you are reluctant to talk about?"
Manbao muttered, "You talk as if we are very thick-skinned."
"I don't know if you're shameless or not, but you're certainly quite courageous." The Fifth Prince waited for a moment, and seeing that they were still arguing, he simply asked, "Does this count as coming uninvited?"
So if you have something to say, speak up immediately.
Bai Shan and the others were not used to procrastination yet, so they simply said, "Xiaoxue Yang asked us to come. He wanted us to remind you not to believe what Lord Yang said."
The Fifth Prince looked puzzled. "My cousin told me not to believe what his father said?"
No normal person would believe this.
The Fifth Prince looked at them with suspicion. Bai Erlang was annoyed by his gaze and said unhappily, "Would we lie to you?"
Just as Bai Shan was about to explain in detail, he saw the Fifth Prince across from him fall silent. He looked back and forth at them, and after a moment, he said, "Although you are extremely bold, you wouldn't go so far as to deceive me."
Bai Shan and Man Bao turned their heads to look at Bai Erlang, both of them were extremely surprised.
Just as the two were about to discuss the details, they saw the Fifth Prince's eunuch running back from the side door and whispering, "Your Highness, Lord Yang has returned and he wants to see you."
Bai Shan said, "We just came out from Yang Xuexiong's place. Lord Yang must have remembered that we were guests at the Yang Mansion today. It's lunchtime now, and he must be suspicious if we don't stay at the Yang Mansion for lunch."
The fifth prince: “…What are you guys doing?” Why did it sound like his cousin and uncle were fighting?
Manbao simply urged him, "Since we're here, why don't you take Mingda, Changyu and the others to the Yang Mansion? Just say you're hungry and want to eat at your uncle's house."
The Fifth Prince became wary and took a step back, saying, "Is it not a good idea for me to come here now?"
After all, his father was angry with the Yang family. If he went, what if his father thought he was supporting the Yang family?
Manbao and Baishan, understanding his intention to retreat, looked at him sympathetically and said, "You'd better go. Lord Yang wants you for more than just a backer. Besides, who's more important, you, a prince without a palace, or the Yang family?"
If it were in the past, Manbao and the other two might have thought that the prince was more important, but now...
The Fifth Prince understood what they meant, and his expression changed constantly. Finally, he looked deeply at Man Bao and said, "You swear on your friendship with Mingda Changyu that you have not lied to me, nor have you harmed me."
Manbao immediately raised his hand and swore, "If we lied to you and want to harm you, then Mingda Changyu and I can no longer be friends." But is this oath really useful?
Just as he was thinking this, Mingda and Changyu jumped out from the side and shouted, "Okay, you swear on us."
Manbao immediately beckoned them upon seeing them, "Come quickly and help persuade the Fifth Prince to go to the Yang Mansion to meet Senior Brother Yang. Senior Brother Yang has prepared a whole deer and is roasting the venison."
Mingda and Changyu were distracted and asked, "Do you want to bake it yourself?"
Manbao nodded: "That's right."
Mingda thought for a moment and then said to the Fifth Prince, "Fifth brother, let's go and take a look. Father said Yang Changbo is the most outstanding disciple among all the noble families. Even the Crown Prince has high praise for him. What bad things could such a person do to us?"
Chang Yu had already agreed in her heart when Man Bao said that. She even looked at her clothes and felt that she was dressed appropriately. She reached out and touched her hair and asked Man Bao, "Is my hair messy?"
Manbao said, "Mrs. Yang is here too, holding her child."
Chang Yu was dignified and reserved, but he couldn't help but glance at her and said, "I'm just going to eat, not do anything else."
The fifth prince was also very curious about the conflict between Yang Heshu and his father. The main reason was that he had not yet participated in politics and did not know many things. The information his mother received was also limited. She only knew that when the emperor's sister-in-law gave birth last month, someone replaced Zhou Man's needle bag to harm the emperor's sister-in-law and grandson. It was finally discovered that the person was planted in the palace by his own uncle.
The Fifth Prince looked back at his own residence, cleared his throat and said, "Alright, let's go take a look."
The group turned around and went out, just in time to see Lord Yang returning at the side door.
As soon as the two sides met, Manbao took the initiative to bring his two junior brothers to greet Lord Yang first, smiling and saying, "Lord Yang, we are just about to go to your house."
Lord Yang was stunned. "Go to my house?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. The Fifth Prince asked curiously, "Why is Uncle back again? What did you forget?"
Lord Yang came back to his senses and smiled, "Oh, nothing important. I just suddenly remembered to tell His Highness to return to the palace early to avoid worrying His Majesty and His Majesty. After all, His Highness brought two princesses and the Sixth Prince with him. As the elder brother, you should be more considerate."
The Fifth Prince then remembered and turned to ask Mingda and Changyu, "By the way, where is the Sixth Prince?"
Mingda and Changyu just remembered, "Oh no! We didn't see you for a long time, so we came to look for you and asked him to wait for us in the garden."
See you at 9pm
