Li Zhuo put down the carrying pole and stood beside him, but his gaze was fixed on Wei Tingsi and Qin Ji. The two of them had been swimming by the stream for almost an hour without moving.
"I used to think Princess Jun was no pushover, but today I realized that even the people around her are not to be trifled with." Li Zhuo shuddered as he recalled what happened at Jingxin Garden today. Women really shouldn't be messed with!
Yan Zelu leaned closer, her face full of gossip, "Tell me about it."
"Today someone tried to ruin Princess Jun's reputation, and the general ordered me to kill that person. I didn't expect that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. When I arrived, I saw the sixth young lady of the Sun family personally killing her own maid, just that half-bundle."
"I don't understand, what is all this about?" Yan Zelu listened for a long time but still couldn't figure out what Li Zhuo was saying, and became somewhat anxious.
Li Zhuo gave him a disdainful look. Brother Zhang said that Old Yan's brain wasn't working properly, and it was indeed true. "The one who wants to harm Miss Sun is the mantis, and the one who wants to harm Princess Jun is the oriole. Do you understand?"
Yan Zelu shook his head blankly, "I don't understand."
"Idiot." Li Zhuo finally couldn't hold back anymore.
However, Yan Zelu's focus was clearly different from Li Zhuo's. He cautiously asked, "Why does the General repeatedly help Princess Jun without telling her? Is it really as Brother Zhang said, that the General has been infatuated with the Princess since she was very young?" That's a bad habit, Princess Jun was only ten years old when she met the General...
"How would I know? If you're so capable, go ask the general." Li Zhuo looked at him with disdain. Wasn't this obvious? How could he not understand? He was really stupid.
Lord Wang was the one who saw things clearly; he taught the young master how to please Princess Jun a long time ago.
However, he did not realize that Lord Wang was not a philandering playboy. He himself had to rely on a matchmaker to solve his marriage problems. What good tricks could he possibly teach?
Yan Zelu shook his head; he dared not ask casually.
Wei Tingsi glanced at the two men, who immediately began weeding and catching insects for the beans in the field. The adults were asking for help, but they were suffering.
"Are you sure you want that little princess to know about Empress Yide's matter? I think she's incredibly audacious. If she finds out, she'll definitely cause a huge uproar, and then the mess will be hard to clean up." Qin Ji didn't mind that his disciple had found a subordinate to help him with the dirty work. He reached out and moved the cannons, making it a double-cannon general.
Wei Ting, the strategist, casually remarked, "She'll find out eventually. Why not tell her herself?"
"You just don't want her to waste that money and resources." Qin Ji exposed Wei Tingsi's ulterior motives with a single sentence. However, he was wrong. Wei Tingsi had only casually comforted Zhao Shu before creating a big problem for himself.
"I need to think this over carefully, but the price won't be as simple as just picking up manure. Have you thought it through?" Qin Ji said very seriously.
Wei Tingsi showed no sign of backing down, believing that "a gentleman's word is as good as gold."
