The Eighth Prince's Residence.
The Eighth Prince stormed back from outside.
Butler Ma dared not approach the Eighth Prince when he saw his appearance, and seeing that the maids were all keeping their distance, he had no choice but to go forward himself.
During his years at the Eighth Prince's residence, he only served the Eighth Prince when he returned; otherwise, he was mostly idle.
When the Eighth Prince returned this time, he could clearly sense that the Eighth Prince was different from before.
It turns out that the Eighth Prince always kept a low profile when he returned to the capital, but I don't know why he changed so much this time.
The housekeeper dared not say anything more and immediately began to get busy.
"Your Highness, this is an invitation from the General's Mansion." The steward carefully presented the invitation to the Eighth Prince.
In fact, he had been living in the capital and knew all about these things.
The general's mansion, which was once looked down upon, found a wayward child after the death of his son.
Everyone felt sorry for General Qiao.
In his old age, despite his many military exploits, no one inherited the entire family business. He finally managed to bring back a son, but he turned out to be so disappointing.
Who would have thought that in such a short time, he would rise to the rank of second-grade official through his own abilities?
This time, the General's Mansion sent an invitation, which can be considered a sign of respect for the Eighth Prince.
He had heard that all the important figures in the capital had received invitations, so he figured the event must be quite grand.
The Eighth Prince has been away from the capital for years and has virtually no connections.
This general's mansion is truly something else.
Unlike other prominent families, they did not forget about the Eighth Prince.
"Who delivered it?" The Eighth Prince turned his head and asked with a cold face.
Butler Ma seemed to realize he had made a mistake, though he didn't know what he had done wrong. He immediately spoke up, "He is a servant of the young general."
After saying that, the butler didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
It's clearly a good thing, so why does the Eighth Prince look so strange?
The Eighth Prince snatched the invitation, opened it, and upon seeing the familiar handwriting, he was instantly furious.
Damn it!
Qiao Yuchen, you deserve to die!
Things had been going smoothly in Huzhou for years, but his trip there completely disrupted his plans, and now he has to humbly beg that woman.
Thinking about this, I gritted my teeth in hatred.
He tore the invitation in his hand to shreds in a few swift movements.
"roll!"
When Butler Ma heard the commotion, he was so frightened that he fled in a panic.
The Eighth Prince has really changed; he is no longer the Eighth Prince we used to know.
Butler Ma dared not approach this place again, but he thought about how the Eighth Prince would eat and drink if he didn't come closer.
He quickly ordered his men to get to work, waiting for the Eighth Prince's anger to subside so he could deliver the food.
When Wang Ma saw the pale-faced Butler Ma in the kitchen, she asked, "Butler Ma, what's going on outside?"
When Steward Ma saw Wang Ma, they were considered old servants of the Eighth Prince's residence. They had stayed there for many years, only seeing the Eighth Prince a few days each year. Over the years, they had kept the Eighth Prince's residence in perfect order, without any sign of decline.
I originally thought the Eighth Prince was only coming back to stay for a few days, but I didn't expect him to have such a bad temper.
Now both of his close maids are injured. The Eighth Prince has been emotionally unstable lately, and no maid dares to approach him to serve him.
Thinking of this, Butler Ma sighed inwardly, how could it have turned out like this?
"It's alright, you can just stay in the kitchen." Butler Ma and Aunt Wang had known each other for many years, and he was essentially protecting her.
"Alright, alright, I'll do as Butler Ma says," Wang Ma thought to herself, still a little worried.
Seeing Butler Ma leave cautiously, she wanted to see what kind of changes the Eighth Prince had undergone in the year since she last saw him.
She heard the Eighth Prince mentioned several times by the maids, and the man seemed like a complete stranger to her.
I secretly followed behind, ready to see what was going on.
Seeing Butler Ma heading towards the Eighth Prince's courtyard, she carefully followed behind.
Just as they arrived at the Eighth Prince's courtyard, they suddenly saw a dark figure fly out of the house.
Startled, Wang Ma immediately covered her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound.
The Eighth Prince has really changed; he has become extremely cruel.
Upon seeing that the person lying on the ground was none other than Jianye, the Eighth Prince's attendant, Wang Ma became even more agitated.
Jianye has been by the Eighth Prince's side since childhood, and has followed him in his fiefdom for many years. He has experienced many dangers, and it is Jianye's protection that has allowed the Eighth Prince to survive to this day.
Unexpectedly, the Eighth Prince would target Jianye.
This...this is terrifying.
Just then, Wang Ma heard a terrifying sound.
"housekeeper!"
Hearing the commotion, Butler Ma turned around and glanced behind him before running into the house.
As I ran past Jianye, I glanced at him and immediately felt uneasy.
"He did a poor job; arrest him."
At this moment, Jianye lay on the ground, clutching his chest, clearly indicating that the kick had been too heavy.
He was just holding on; if it were anyone else, they probably would have kicked him to death long ago.
"Your Highness?" Not knowing what had happened, Steward Ma thought he should first check on Jianye. Meeting the Eighth Prince's gaze, he dared not speak. "Yes."
"Keep a close eye on him. Don't let him out without my order."
Upon hearing this, Jianye, who was outside, staggered to his feet, wanting to go inside to plead for mercy, but the Eighth Prince's words made him stop in his tracks.
"You dare to disregard me, the king?"
"This servant dares not." Jianye lowered his head, his eyes filled with bitterness.
Butler Ma rushed out and helped Jianye leave.
The place they went to was a prison.
For reasons I don't understand, it's best not to say anything when your master is angry.
Jianye looked back several times but did not see that familiar figure. He lowered his head and walked into the cell.
