Lan Zheyu had never spoken a single word to Prince Jing before, yet now they were chatting on the street. It felt a bit strange. What on earth was Prince Jing up to? They weren't close, so a few words would be enough.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Jun Weihe say, "Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. Please get in the car."
"Hmm?" Lan Zheyu felt that this prince had a good temper and spoke so politely, almost too approachable. She couldn't help but ask, "Do you really not need us to take you back to the palace?"
"This... isn't a good idea." Jun Weihe certainly wanted to get into the carriage so that he could spend more time with Lan Zhi, even if it was just to look at her, but Jun Weihe was too embarrassed to agree directly.
"There is no tea or snacks in the car. If Your Highness doesn't mind, please come up." Lan Zheyu invited again. Another reason why he was so enthusiastic towards Jun Weihe was that he wanted to find out the news about Prince Rui's son.
There is a formation in the Lan Mansion. There are no maids or servants, only a housekeeper, Uncle Chen. The advantage of this is that outsiders cannot send spies to the Lan Mansion. The disadvantage is that the news in the Lan Mansion is very isolated, and there is not even a servant who likes to gossip.
"Thank you, Second Young Master Lan." Jun Weihe was the guest, so of course the guests got on the car first, followed by Lan Zhi and his two brothers.
When Lan Zhi got into the car, she glanced at Jun Weihe.
Jun Weihe gave her a guilty smile and bowed to admit his mistake.
——Lan Zhi had warned him before, but he never listened to her once. He didn’t know if Lan Zhi was angry with him.
After Lan Zheyu and his brother got in the car, they began to ask Jun Weihe some questions in a roundabout way. Jun Weihe acted simple and gullible. For every one question Lan Zheyu asked him, he could answer ten. For example, Lan Zheyu asked, "I wonder what the relationship is between Prince Jing and the Crown Prince?"
Jun Weihe shook his head and said, "A gentleman does not talk about others' faults behind their backs. No matter what Prince Yuan Zhan did after moving to Prince Jing's mansion, I will not say anything bad about him."
The implication is that Yuan Zhan has done something wrong. It's like someone asking, "What do you think of so-and-so?" If you truly think they're good, you should say something nice. But the response is, "I don't speak ill of people." Doesn't this indirectly suggest that so-and-so is a bad person?
The most crucial thing was that Lan Zheyu was asking about the relationship between Jun Weihe and Yuan Zhan. Although Jun Weihe didn't answer irrelevantly, there were too many profound implications in his words -
"Prince Yuan Zhan moved to Prince Jing's mansion" shows Yuan Zhan's initiative, while "This prince will not speak ill of him" at first glance makes people think that Jun Weihe is tolerant and well-behaved, while at the same time making people curious about what bad things Yuan Zhan has done...
At this moment, Jun Weihe revealed a guilty expression and said, "Prince Yuanzhan is young and intelligent, studious and inquisitive. I feel that Prince Yuanzhan treats me with all his heart. Unfortunately, due to my status, I cannot become his friend. I am afraid that I will disappoint his kindness..."
There are even more subtexts in these words. Who doesn't know what kind of person Prince Yuan Zhan is?
Moreover, Jun Weihe also made his position clear, which is to be hostile to Yuan Zhan.
Think about it carefully, can the people of Prince Rui's Mansion and the royal family get along harmoniously?
"Prince Jing, you... don't let Yuan Zhan fool you." Lan Zheyu was no gentleman. He often spoke ill of Yuan Zhan in front of his sister, and now he felt no pressure to do so. He said, "Prince Jing, Yuan Zhan has suddenly been so nice to you. He must have some ulterior motive. Think about it, you don't even know him, why would he suddenly move in with you? Maybe he wanted to steal something. You must make sure you keep a clear inventory of your belongings in the future, so you don't lose something without realizing it..."
"Ah?" Jun Weihe was stunned.
Lan Jinyu was so upset that he put his hands behind his back and secretly pinched his second brother, trying to make him stop talking.
The three brothers of the Lan family used to distort the facts in front of their sister and did everything they could to discredit Yuan Zhan. They said that Yuan Zhan stole things which was pure slander, because if Yuan Zhan liked something, he would just grab it and there was no need to steal it. Even if he didn't grab it, his subordinates would secretly grab it and present it to Yuan Zhan. Therefore, the three brothers had no psychological burden when speaking ill of Yuan Zhan. But it was okay for them to say these things behind closed doors at home, so how could they tell outsiders!
Lan Jinyu was secretly worried, but Lan Zheyu said to Jun Weihe with a serious face, "Your Highness, just because you are kind doesn't mean others are kind too. Don't be fooled by Yuan Zhan... By the way, where has Yuan Zhan been recently? Is he still with you?"
Jun Weihe shook his head honestly and said, "He's not here. He went to the military tent."
Lan Zheyu casually asked, "How did you and Yuan Zhan know each other?"
Jun Weihe replied, "I met him on the street. He was chasing Miss Lan Zhi, but I stopped him. I want to be his rival in love."
"Love... love rival?" Lan Zheyu's eyes widened. He looked at Jun Weihe, then glanced at his sister, and asked, "Prince Jing, do you know who the Crown Prince likes?"
"I know, he likes Miss Lanzhi."
Lan Zhi looked calm, as if it had nothing to do with her, and as if she and Jun Weihe were just a stranger.
Lan Zheyu: “…”
Lan Jinyu clenched his fists.
Although Jun Weihe gives people a good impression, as an older brother, he has a certain hostility towards the creature called "brother-in-law". These brothers have not yet gotten married!
My sister is even less anxious!
Moreover, cultivators have long lifespans, and my sister is only fifteen years old, so there is really no need for her to get married so early.
Another major reason is that my sister is in the Qing Yuan realm and can live for a long time, while Prince Jing is in the weak Ying Yuan realm. The difference in talent between the two is too great, and their lifespans are not compatible...
Lan Zheyu also clenched his fists.
Jun Weihe: "..."
He thought about it and chose to close his eyes.
Beat him, it’s better to beat him severely. Afterwards, I will go to Lan Zhi to seek sympathy.
Jun Weihe thought so in his heart, secretly opened his eyes and glanced at them, and said: "You can hit me as much as you want, I will never fight back."
Lan Zheyu: “…”
Can they beat the prince?
Even if I hit her, I can't do it in front of my sister.
Lan Zheyu transformed his fist into a palm, patted Jun Weihe's shoulder, and said with a forced smile, "What nonsense are you talking about, Prince Jing? Your status is noble, how could we dare to hit you?"
Haha, when I go back today, I will spend money to collect some negative information about Prince Jing and then tell it to my sister.
After a while, the carriage arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion.
Jun Weihe got off the car and invited them to sit in the palace, but was rejected.
When Lan Zhi and others returned to the mansion, Shangguan Jianxing and Jiang Qingcheng had already gone back for a while.
"Second brother, third brother, I'm going back to my room to practice." Lan Zhi said.
Lan Zheyu had wanted to ask his sister about her opinion of Prince Jing, but after hearing what she said, he decided not to ask any more questions. He nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."
