Chapter 475
Jing Er said with a bitter face, "The young master instructed me to find out where my aunt is staying, so I came along."
"So, you've been following us all this way?"
Jing Er didn't hide anything and simply nodded.
Ji Xiang gasped.
Jing Er followed them the whole way, and they were completely unaware!
Fortunately, Jing Er meant them no harm, otherwise...
Jixiang shivered and said, "Since you've found out, why are you showing yourself?"
"What? I found him and dragged him out!" Le'an said.
"Keep your voice down, don't let the girl hear you!"
Le'an instinctively covered her mouth.
Jixiang then looked at Jing Er: "And another thing, stop calling her 'aunt' all the time. The young lady has already left the Marquis's mansion!"
Jing Er nodded repeatedly: "I really can't delay any longer, I have to go back and report to the Crown Prince!"
Seeing him turn to leave, Jixiang quickly stepped forward and grabbed him: "What are you going to say to the Crown Prince?"
"Just tell the truth, what else can you say?"
Jixiang turned her head and glanced at the bedroom with the doors and windows tightly closed. She lowered her voice and said, "Listen to me, don't say anything yet! Otherwise, if the young master comes over regardless of everything, it won't be good for the young lady either."
"You should know that the young lady is not in good condition along the way. She has been taking medicine every day. The young lady... needs time to recover. As for the young master... we'll talk about that later."
Jing Er subconsciously looked at Le An.
Le'an nodded in agreement: "I also think that you need to rest for a while. If you can't handle things with the young master, just make up some excuse. Anyway, it's best not to let the young master come over."
Jing Er sighed.
"Okay, I'll think about it."
He'd been working for Shen Rang for years, and this was the first time he'd had to fool Shen Rang. It was truly...
It's kind of exciting.
Jing Er, as if struck by a sudden thought, said, "Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore, I really have to go."
After saying that, Jing Er turned and left.
A rapid sound of horses' hooves echoed outside the courtyard, gradually fading into the distance.
Jixiang and Le'an exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Jing Er hurried and finally caught up with Duan Huaichuan.
"Young Master Duan!"
Duan Huaichuan reined in the horse and turned to look at Jing Er, who was galloping towards him.
He had seen Jing Er twice before, when he was strolling in the front yard of the Marquis's residence: "Young Master Jing Er?"
Upon recognizing him, Duan Huaichuan was on high alert: "What are you doing here?"
Jing Er finally caught up and could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He cupped his hands towards Duan Huaichuan and said, "Young Master Duan, I have a favor to ask!"
Duan Huaichuan sized him up but didn't speak immediately.
Jing Er is someone close to Shen Rang. What could he possibly ask of him?
However, upon seeing the pleading look in Jing Er's eyes, Duan Huaichuan still spoke up: "Young Master Jing Er, what is it that you wish to say?"
With that, Jing Er finally spoke: "Our young master means that I should come and find out where the young lady is staying. Perhaps... he is coming too. However, I have noticed that the young lady is not doing well along the way. Just now, Jixiang and Le'an also told me not to tell the young master for the time being. So... could I borrow Young Master Duan's name?"
After he finished speaking, Duan Huaichuan's expression changed several times, finally becoming somewhat strange: "...How do you intend to use it?"
