Chapter 58 Yan Jue also felt that he was a gentle and refined young man.
After hearing the two agree, Shen Pingjin quickly walked towards the room.
On her way back to her room, she saw Yan Jue. In the dim candlelight, she could also see that a woman was sitting opposite Yan Jue.
Shen Pingjin frowned. It was so late. Was he still discussing things with that Miss Wen?
But just now... she clearly saw him pacing back and forth at the door again.
As Shen Pingjin pondered, another guess came to mind.
Perhaps he wanted to come to the door to see if she had returned?
If he knew she hadn't returned, would he do something else with that Miss Wen?
Thinking of Yan Jue's back as he turned away upon seeing her, Shen Pingjin felt even more certain that her guess was correct.
Chen Pingjin was somewhat puzzled.
Yan Jue is a playboy in the capital. They've only been married for a few days. Even if she knew about this, what right did she have to interfere in his affairs?
It's normal for men to be a little fickle, especially a playboy like Yan Jue, who is rumored to have three wives and four concubines.
However, when she thought about the demands she made of Yan Jue when they first got married, Shen Pingjin still felt a little uncomfortable.
Yan Jue had clearly promised her from the beginning that if she were in the Prince's mansion, he would try his best to keep other women out of her sight.
But now, he doesn't keep his promise.
Shen Pingjin was in a state of confusion. She slowly walked to the bathtub in the room, slowly undressed herself, and then slowly immersed herself in the hot water.
The warm water, at a comfortable temperature, gradually enveloped her body. Her body, which had been exhausted all day, slowly relaxed in the water. Shen Pingjin felt that she had been too busy lately, and that it was unnecessary for her to think about these trivial things.
Shen Pingjin decided to stop thinking about it. As long as she didn't care, whatever Yan Jue did was none of her business.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Yan Jue noticed that the gaze of the beautiful figure outside the window had disappeared. He looked up and looked at Wen Xicha sitting opposite him.
Wen Xicha looked puzzled, since she had planned to leave the Regent's Palace not long ago, but Yan Jue had stopped her and asked her to stay with him for a while longer.
Wen Xicha was dumbfounded. Although Yan Jue had already killed the conversation over the official salt issue, she wouldn't refuse him now that he had spoken up.
But after she stayed at the Regent's Palace, she thought Yan Jue would have something to discuss with her, but she didn't expect that he just wanted her to sit in front of him.
This was the first time Wen Xicha had ever seen Yan Jue do something so outrageous, and she had no idea what he was trying to do.
Yan Jue spoke calmly, "Miss Wen, would you like to stay here for dinner before leaving?"
Wenxi Tea: "?"
So, after all that silence, this is what you're going to say?
Seeing the cold expression on the man's face, Wen Xicha tactfully realized that Yan Jue was probably not in a good mood at the moment, and that asking her such a question was likely just a polite gesture.
Thinking of this, Wen Xicha raised her hand in a gesture of respect and said, "No need, it's getting late. I'll be going now, we can talk another day."
Seeing Yan Jue, with his aloof expression, readily agree, Wen Xicha immediately knew that her guess might be correct.
"Night Court?" Yan Jue asked in a deep voice.
Upon receiving the order, Ye Ting, who was guarding outside, immediately slipped inside. "Ye Ting is here!"
Yan Jue said, "You escort Miss Wen out of the manor and protect her safety."
After receiving the order, Ye Ting immediately left the mansion with Wen Xicha.
Wen Xicha felt a little uncomfortable. She was used to being independent, and seeing Ye Ting following behind her, she felt a strange sense of fear.
Wenxi Tea stopped at the door.
Ye Ting, who was following behind her, was taken aback. "Miss Wen, is something the matter?"
As night deepened and stars twinkled in the sky, dim candlelight flickered on both sides of the mansion. While Ye Ting was filled with doubt, he couldn't help but wonder what Wen Xicha was thinking, since he had always regarded Wen Xicha as his mistress.
Wen Xicha said, "You don't need to escort me back to my residence. You can go back yourself. I'll be fine on my own."
Seeing that the surroundings were pitch black, Ye Ting hesitated, "This..."
Wen Xicha smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I told my father that if I'm not back by evening, he should call a carriage to pick me up."
Hearing this, Ye Ting breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, Miss Wen, I'll take my leave now."
Wenxi Tea Shop nodded.
After bidding farewell to Wen Xicha, Ye Ting went straight back to his study.
He was either with Shen Pingjin or investigating other matters today. Now that he finally had some free time, he had to report what he had seen and heard to his master.
Yan Jue frowned slightly when he saw Ye Ting return so quickly. "You sent Miss Wen back so soon?"
Ye Ting shook his head and said, "Reporting to Master, Miss Wen said that Lord Wen will come to pick her up in a while, and asked me to leave first."
Yan Jue nodded thoughtfully, "I see."
"By the way, Master, I have something to tell you about the Mistress today."
Yan Jue had originally intended to tell Ye Ting to leave, but after hearing his words, a sense of curiosity suddenly arose in his heart.
"What is it?"
Ye Ting immediately started talking like a broken box, "My lord, you don't know, today I went to Zui Xiang Lou and had a delicious and novel breakfast called Crystal Steamed Buns. It's all thanks to the Princess Consort having breakfast at Zui Xiang Lou, otherwise I wouldn't have discovered such delicious buns so quickly!"
As Ye Ting spoke, his mouth watered again. He would never forget the delicious taste that bloomed between his lips and teeth, the sweet and soft outer skin, and the salty and savory flavor that exploded on his tongue.
Yan Jue frowned. "Get to the point."
Still immersed in the delicious taste of the crystal soup dumplings, Ye Ting was suddenly interrupted by her own family and immediately came back to her senses.
Ye Ting said with a serious expression, "Master, I saw that the Princess was often seen walking with a handsome young man today!"
Yan Jue: "?"
A handsome young man?
Yan Jue frowned slightly. "Explain yourself clearly."
Ye Ting continued, "The story goes like this: the Princess recently borrowed some money from you, Master. I didn't expect that the Princess wanted to use that money to start a business. Then, she accidentally met a young man at the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion. That young man seemed to be a businessman, and the Princess seemed to be planning to cooperate with him."
"It seems they used your money to buy a restaurant somewhere, but that's not important. What's important is that when they came back to collect the money, the princess and the young master seemed to get along very well. They seemed to talk non-stop."
Yan Jue suddenly remembered something, "That young master, is he the one I saw by chance outside the window today when I was discussing matters with Miss Wen?"
Judging from his figure, Yan Jue also felt that the young master should be a handsome and gentle young man.
