Chapter 272 Auntie is still your auntie
The outline of the gray courtyard wall was blurred in the moonlight, and the warmth of the daytime faded away.
The old locust tree had twisted branches and its huge shadow spread out like ink, shrouding most of the courtyard in darkness.
A few rays of cold moonlight filtered through the cracks and scattered on the cold stone steps.
The night wind blows, and a lonely yellow leaf spins and sways slowly, like a fleeting dream shadow.
A few struggling cicadas chirped.
Short, hoarse...
Yinzhe stood blankly at the edge of the darkness, his red lips slightly parted, stunned and speechless.
She, the previous emperor's daughter and Thirteenth Aunt, had seen all kinds of storms, yet she was actually intimidated by her own subordinate.
The chirping of cicadas woke her up, and she watched Dou Zuan's fake face become "charming and tempting" at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, it turned red.
What a fucking "eternal lamp", what a fucking everlasting lamp!
The anger in his chest suddenly flared up, and Yinzhe subconsciously raised his palm, wanting to cool down this subordinate who had just been promoted.
As a result of this perception, he discovered the two pairs of cunning eyes under the pavilion.
call……
Yinzhe was also very angry. With Dou Zuan's courage, how could he dare to say such words?
The key point is that it's so flowery. How can someone without any knowledge come up with this?
She dared to bet her entire fortune and life on this, so it must be Xiaoliu's doing.
He sighed inwardly, how long had he been away, and Xiaoliu had already tricked him into a fool?
Dou Zuan's mental state was obviously problematic when he was promoted. This situation now should be attributed to the instability of his realm, but it is too much.
I never thought he was so stupid before. He really can't stay in the dark prison all year round.
It turns out that people tend to grow hair more easily in spooky places.
Phew… calm down…
It's easy to beat up the stupid subordinate, but that would be Xiaoliu's fault.
The next moment, Yin Zhe blinked his innocent eyes, "Really?"
To be honest, Dou Zuan regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.
His mind suddenly became much clearer, as if the emotions that had been accumulating for a long time were suddenly released.
I realized clearly what I just said, so embarrassing...
How could I have been poisoned and believed the Sixth Prince's instigation?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt like I was doomed. I was at a loss for a moment and was about to explode.
And just at this moment, he heard the adults speak.
"Really?"
These words seemed to be carried through a thick curtain of water, giving him a suffocating sense of absurdity.
"What did you say?"
Looking at the stupid look on the opposite side, Yinzhe wished he could stab him to death with one punch.
He suppressed his nausea and showed an impeccable smile, "I'm asking you, is what you just said true?"
This time, Dou Zuan heard it very clearly.
Gulp!
His Adam's apple rolled rapidly, an indescribable thirst suddenly surged into his throat, and the tip of his tongue suddenly became dry and tight.
Simply put, people are numb...
But Dou Zuan didn't dare to delay even a moment and immediately interrupted, "It's true, it's true!"
Ugh...so disgusting...
Yinzhe took light steps forward, pressed forward, and punched him in the chest with her fist, making a muffled sound.
Her eyes were full of anger as she said, "Damn ghost~~~"
Clang!
The ivory chopsticks fell on the table, and the sudden crisp sound broke the stagnant air.
Sui Mo Tan opened his mouth slightly, so frightened that he forgot to breathe.
Qin Zhaoyue's hand holding the chopsticks froze in mid-air, her eyes widened, and she took a breath of cold air.
No way...
This... wouldn't be an accidental achievement, right?
Dou Zuan took half a step back. His little pink fist looked weak and not very fast, but only the one being hit knew the outcome.
It was so painful that the blood in his body was churning.
He rubbed his chest subconsciously, his head feeling numb.
He had never seen such a shy look on an adult's face in his entire life. This meant... it meant that the method taught by the Sixth Prince was true!
A feeling of guilt came over me, I had wrongly blamed a good person.
But soon, I was enveloped by sudden happiness.
"What are you doing standing at the door, you idiot..."
As he spoke, Yinzhe took the initiative to hold Dou Zuan's hand and slowly led him to the pavilion in the yard.
Dou Zuan felt like he was walking on clouds, unable to walk at all.
Even after sitting down at the stone table, he was still feeling dizzy and had not recovered.
The delicate hand was withdrawn, but he still stretched his arm stiffly, and it took him a long time to relax.
Yinzhe looked at Xiaoliu opposite with her beautiful eyes, as if nothing had happened.
"Sixth Prince, I have passed on the information. How are the affairs of Chengyuan arranged?"
Qin Zhaoyue pursed her lips and suddenly felt full.
Damn it, I was fed dog food in front of my face.
What’s even more uncomfortable is that this dog food was delivered by her personally.
Is this old lady just pretending to be her? Or is she really interested in that silly boy?
"Master Yinzhe, is this a good thing about to happen?"
"It's just a small matter for me, Your Highness, please don't worry about it."
"Hey..." Qin Zhaoyue retreated tactically and dragged out the sound.
"Marriage is a big deal, how can it be called a trivial matter? Don't you think so, Douzhan?"
Dou Zuan raised his head and said, "I will listen to you, sir."
Qin Zhaoyue: ...
Damn it! I feel terrible! I’m in love!
Yinzhe felt great.
You've always been schemed on by Xiaoliu, and now you're feeling bad, right?
Yinzhe could probably guess that she was probably feeling bad because she saw so many treasures but didn't get any advantage at all.
It just so happened that Dou Zuan had a weird brain. One was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten. One set a trap and the other actually fell into it.
Humph, can Yinzhe make Xiaoliu happy?
Seeing her depressed look now, I feel as refreshed as drinking a bowl of iced porridge in the hottest days of summer.
This time, let's just take it as a lesson. Her aunt is still her aunt. I'll accept it even if it hurts the enemy by 800 and I lose 1,000 myself.
As for that idiot Dou Zuan... I'll deal with him later!
Seeing that his master looked unhappy, Sui Mo quickly took over the conversation and explained the five strategies that His Highness had mentioned earlier.
Yinzhe listened quietly and nodded. He was not surprised at Xiaoliu's performance.
The skull of the God of Wealth was also a smart guy, and he got a good clue.
If we can find the person who secretly controls the financial operations of the aristocratic family, and the bank behind him, it will be a great achievement.
I don't know whether this news is true or not. If it is true, the other party will definitely flee as soon as there is any sign of trouble. We need to make long-term plans.
At this moment, a captain of the Xuanji Guard rushed to the courtyard.
The person who came was not a stranger, but Canglan, who was good at swimming during the disaster relief work.
"Your Highness, my Lord, something has gone wrong."
