"What's even funnier is Yu Shujin. He was still asleep at the time, and in his drowsy state, he thought it was another maid from the manor trying to climb into his bed, so he reached out and hugged her tightly, and then kissed her passionately."
"However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a hard slap on his buttocks, which instantly woke him up."
"When he opened his eyes and saw the scene before him, he was instantly terrified. The other person was wearing a long black robe, exuding a sinister aura, and his face was so white that his features were completely obscured."
"Finally, Yu Shujin was so frightened that he fainted."
He Yang burst into laughter: "Hahaha! That's hilarious, boss, you're the best! Only you could come up with such a dirty trick. After this scare, the three of them probably won't dare to go out for a while, and they might not even dare to go to the academy."
"I'm really curious what kind of outfits they were dressed in that made them so embarrassed."
Yun Zhizhi recalled the two faceless male mascot costumes she had tailored for them, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. She deliberately kept them in suspense, saying with a grin, "Be careful, curiosity killed the cat!"
He Yang raised an eyebrow and replied nonchalantly, "I'm not afraid. With you here, I'm not afraid of anything!"
Seeing He Yang's determination, Yun Zhizhi stopped teasing him and said softly, "Alright! Since you're so curious, come to my place tomorrow at the beginning of the day and I'll show you."
Upon hearing this, He Yang immediately became excited and responded loudly, "Okay!"
On the other side.
Zhang Lei was pacing angrily in his room, clutching his head, feeling like he was about to explode with rage.
The two servants kneeling on the ground kept begging Zhang Lei for mercy: "Young master, I swear to heaven, it really wasn't me who told anyone about you wetting your pants!"
Another servant quickly chimed in, "Yes! Even if you gave me eight hundred lives, I wouldn't dare say it!"
Zhang Lei rubbed his temples, looking somewhat troubled, and said, "If it wasn't just the two of you who told anyone, could there be a third person who knows? Forget it, go out and receive your punishment!"
Indeed, there was a third person who knew about this.
Last night, a servant in the manor who had been punished by Zhang Lei in the past overheard their conversation as he passed by the outhouse.
This servant harbored resentment towards Zhang Lei, believing that his punishment was too harsh and that he had been wronged.
Therefore, when he heard this secret, a strong desire for revenge welled up in his heart.
So, in order to get revenge on Zhang Lei, he spread the shameful story early in the morning.
The Taoist priest who had just come to exorcise the ghost had already left the Zhang residence. Before leaving, the priest patted his chest and assured Zhang Lei that there were no more ghosts in the house, which put Zhang Lei's mind at ease.
However, he still didn't dare to go out, afraid that others would laugh at him.
Zhu Yuanting and Yu Shujin were the same; they were so ashamed that they didn't even dare to leave the house.
After chatting with Yun Zhizhi for a while about the recruitment situation of the vermicelli workshop, He Yang got up and returned to the He residence next door.
He came out from the back gate of the Yun residence and was about to step into his own mansion when he suddenly heard a series of gong sounds coming from not far away.
My gossipy nature was instantly piqued.
So, He Yang excitedly ran to the front gate of the He residence to watch the excitement.
The sound of the gong grew closer and louder.
He Yang couldn't help but ask a plump old woman who was watching the commotion, "Auntie, do you know what happened? Why is it so lively?"
The plump woman patted He Yang on the shoulder, smiled, and leaned close to his ear, saying, "Young man, you've come to the right person."
"There's a royal family member getting engaged today. I just saw it. I estimate there are about sixty betrothal gifts. It's quite a spectacle. You'll see it in a bit."
He Yang frowned and asked in confusion, "Which royal prince is engaged? The Fourth Prince or the Seventh Prince?"
The plump old woman said mysteriously, "Neither of them, it's the Sixth Prince."
He Yang exclaimed in astonishment, "Impossible!"
The plump woman retorted somewhat displeasedly, "Why is it impossible? The Sixth Prince is already of marriageable age, and besides, his appearance has recovered. Isn't it normal for him to get married?"
He Yang shook his head firmly and said loudly, "No, that's absolutely impossible!"
The plump woman looked at him, puzzled, and questioned, "Why is it impossible? Do you know the Sixth Prince?"
He Yang smiled smugly: "Of course I know him. The Sixth Prince is my friend. I couldn't possibly not know he's getting engaged. You must have misheard."
The plump woman scoffed, "Fatty, don't brag like that. I've heard that the Sixth Prince's friends are all outstanding in appearance, handsome and elegant. Look at yourself, how do you compare to them?"
She looked He Yang up and down, her eyes full of mockery.
He Yang felt a little unconvinced after hearing this, but still retorted, "Auntie, how can you say that? Don't underestimate me. If I could lose weight, I would definitely be very handsome."
As he spoke, he imagined what he would look like after losing weight, and a confident smile appeared on his face.
Just then, the plump old woman suddenly exclaimed, "Fatty, look!"
He Yang was startled and quickly looked in the direction the fat old woman was pointing.
Not far ahead, a cold and aloof young man on horseback was slowly approaching. His figure was as cold as an iceberg, making people afraid to look directly at him.
He Yang looked closely and was startled.
He rubbed his eyes hard.
Oh my god!
The one riding the horse was indeed the Sixth Prince, Zhao Yunjin.
The long procession of betrothal gifts behind him further proved the purpose of his trip—to get engaged.
