Yao Zidian looked at Jiang Yu, who no longer had that frivolous demeanor, with a complicated expression. He knew in his heart that not only had those people misjudged him, but he himself had also misjudged him.
Jiang Yu ignored what they were thinking and brought the matter back to the main point.
"I only knew about this by chance."
He said it so casually, but no one believed him.
Yao Zidian is a tough guy, but when facing Jiang Yu, he felt a strange anxiety.
Even if he tried his best to suppress it, it didn't make much difference.
Upon hearing him say that, she instinctively asked, "Your Highness, could you please elaborate?"
Jiang Yu didn't say anything. He looked at him meaningfully and said with a half-smile, "Can I tell you? Do you want to hear it?"
Yu Qian had been silent until he heard this, then he looked up at Jiang Yu.
The way he obtained this information must not be something he could easily tell others.
Just as he had always remained hidden among his brothers, living quietly and unnoticed.
No one would think that he was one of their rivals.
But the truth is, he definitely has his own power and should not be underestimated.
Lord Yao wanted him to speak, and if he really did, then even if the two of them didn't want to, they would be dragged into the mess.
When Jiang Yu asked that question, he was essentially giving them a choice.
Yu Qian wasn't very familiar with Jiang Yu; he was a young but cunning and cold-faced Vice Minister of Justice.
He has handled many cases. Although he looks gentle, no one is unaware of how hard-hearted he is and how sharp-eyed he is.
One of them was a prince who indulged in romantic escapades and didn't even have a proper job.
The most they ever met was in the imperial court.
One is in front, and the other is behind.
He was unwilling to stand on his side without knowing the facts.
So he spoke up to stop Lord Yao: "Lord Yao, I believe what the Seventh Prince says."
Yao Zidian had also come to his senses.
He demands a result in everything.
No matter how difficult the process is, I'm not afraid.
But now we cannot ask for it.
Besides the inability to seek help, there is another very thorny problem.
Since that person dared to let Prefect Liu lure them to Ping'an Temple to make their move, they must have a lot of men.
He and Yu Qian brought some men with them, but they lost most of them outside Lou City.
Are they going to hide? Like stray dogs?
Why not just kill him?
This ambush was the most dangerous of the many assassination attempts he had faced.
Instead of scaring him away, it ignited all his inner anger.
He felt that he needed to execute Prefect Liu and his men on the spot to vent his anger!
The problem is, he doesn't have enough manpower.
It was awkward and frustrating.
He remained silent for a long time, and Jiang Yu's patience was finally worn out.
He stood up from his chair and said, "Lord Yao, that's the situation. I'll trouble you to interrogate Prefect Liu's men properly later. I won't bother you any longer."
After saying that, he smiled and said, "If you're really scared, then you won't go to the appointment."
"As long as you and Lord Yu don't leave this yamen, I doubt that even if they're incredibly bold, they won't dare to rush in and take your lives."
After saying that, he was about to leave.
Yao Zidian stood up anxiously: "Seventh Prince!"
Unfortunately, Jiang Yu did not stop, as if he really just wanted to tell them the news.
——
After having breakfast, Wei Wei dozed off for a while on the chaise lounge.
After a while, she got up and called Xiaoyue'er to prepare the things for going out.
She was going to keep her appointment with Jiang Yu.
Although it wasn't what she truly wanted, she still harbored some hope in her heart.
Since it's someone I like, I dressed a little brighter when I went out.
Just as they had finished tidying up, the yamen officials came knocking on their door.
Wei Wei was somewhat surprised, but not entirely.
The only slight regret was that she couldn't go to Chunfeng Tower, and all the new dress she had made would have been wasted.
Concealing her thoughts, she didn't linger too long.
After sending Xiao Qiao'er to Chunfeng Tower to explain the reason, they left with Xiao Yue'er.
The young guard who arrived was the one who served Lord Yao.
The two met at the door, and the young guard was somewhat surprised to see her appearance.
However, he didn't say much and silently led the people towards the yamen.
The main government office was closed; we entered through a side gate.
"The two gentlemen are waiting in the warehouse. Don't be afraid; they are both very easy to talk to."
The young guard saw that she kept her head down and followed behind him, looking very restrained. He was afraid that she would be scared, and he couldn't help but reassure her after holding back all the way.
Wei Wei was somewhat surprised. Yesterday, he seemed like an unreasonable person, but now she realized that he wasn't entirely like that.
"Thank you, sir." She smiled. "I'm not nervous."
The guard thought she was just trying to comfort herself, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Their situation is now so awkward that they have to think of a way to break out of it.
The woman who has been brought into the public eye is probably the most innocent and pitiful one.
What you fear most is what will happen.
Before the warehouse arrived, Prefect Liu seemed to have received the news and hurriedly came from another direction.
He was wearing the same robes he wore last night, which were still wrinkled, suggesting he had just returned from the mistress's courtyard.
Upon seeing Wei Wei, he was completely agitated.
“Mrs. Wei!” He glared at her fiercely. “You’re everywhere!”
