Zhan Tianye said to Qiu Lu, who was still stunned behind him, "Let's go."
Just as Qiu Lu was about to push Zhan Tianye, Old Master Qin pointed at Zhan Tianye angrily, "You little brat, are you deliberately trying to anger me? Don't you believe what I say? Have you known her longer than I have?"
"Um, um, this humble servant wishes to say something. Does Old Master have a misunderstanding about Miss Yun the Second? Miss Yun the Second's medical skills are so formidable, and she is the daughter of General Yun the Great. She is more than worthy of a prince!" Qiu Lu quickly defended Yun Shu.
People have eyes and can see right from wrong. The Prince knows very well what kind of person Miss Yun the Second is, and so do I!
If it weren't for the Prince chasing after Miss Yun the Second, she might not even fancy the Prince until now!
How could the Old Master, who previously thought the Prince was not good enough for Miss Yun the Second, have changed so drastically after being missing for a whole day yesterday? And have such a deep misunderstanding of Miss Yun the Second?
Hearing Qiu Lu's words, Old Master Qin rolled his eyes, "What do you know! You know nothing."
Qiu Lu dared not argue with Old Master Qin anymore. His tongue was clumsy, and he couldn't win an argument against Old Master Qin.
"Grandfather, there's no need to exert yourself," Zhan Tianye said indifferently.
Old Master Qin was so angry he almost jumped.
He could only watch as Qiu Lu pushed Zhan Tianye away.
A nearby servant, not quite understanding, whispered curiously, "Old Master, Miss Yun the Second is such a good person, how could she do anything bad? And this servant remembers that Old Master had extremely high praise for Miss Yun the Second, saying that no junior in the capital could compare to her. What exactly happened yesterday? Did Miss Yun the Second do something heinous?"
"More heinous than that! Some people should not be deceived by the false facade they create," Old Master Qin said with a dark expression, gritting his teeth.
It was evident that the Old Master was very angry.
And he no longer had any good impression of Yun Shu.
The few servants around exchanged glances, completely unable to comprehend. Their minds were filled with questions. What was going on? The Old Master's attitude towards Miss Yun the Second had changed so much!
Old Master Qin gritted his teeth, "No, the brat is too deeply infatuated now and cannot be easily extricated. I must stop him! Otherwise, he will definitely regret it in the future!"
The servants dared not speak.
If they really managed to separate Prince Ye and Miss Yun the Second, the one who would regret it in the future might be the Old Master himself!
Seeing that the servants were not speaking, Old Master Qin snorted angrily, "I told you, you've all been deceived by her! Forget it, I was deceived too. I, who am so shrewd and have seen countless people, was still fooled by a little girl."
This matter must be carefully planned; haste makes waste.
No matter what, he could not let Yun Shu deceive his grandson.
Seeing that Old Master Qin was not joking but genuinely disliked and hated Yun Shu, the servants became even more bewildered.
What on earth had happened?!
Could the Old Master at least reveal a little?
Meanwhile, Qiu Lu pushed Zhan Tianye as they walked, and quietly asked, "What's wrong with the Old Master? He said Miss Yun the Second has a secret and that he misjudged her. Was it the people who kidnapped the Old Master yesterday who sowed discord? Although old ginger is spicier, and the Old Master has never been deceived, perhaps he's getting old and has been in the capital for too long, could he have been tricked?"
"It doesn't seem like he was deceived," Zhan Tianye said in a deep voice.
"This humble servant also feels it's unlikely. We should be able to catch the people who kidnapped the Old Master tonight. After questioning them, we should know the reason. This humble servant felt just now that the Old Master wasn't joking; he genuinely doesn't want the Prince to be with Miss Yun the Second," Qiu Lu frowned tightly.
"Go to the General's Mansion," Zhan Tianye said in a deep voice.
Half an hour later.
Zhan Tianye arrived at the General's Mansion.
He then recounted everything that had happened at the Qin mansion and what Old Master Qin had said to Yun Shu.
Yun Shu's face showed confusion upon hearing this, "My unspeakable secret?"
How was she unaware of having any unspeakable secret?
Could it be that the person Old Master Qin met yesterday said some nonsensical things, and Old Master Qin believed them?
Old Master Qin didn't seem like someone who would easily be deceived by words.
There must be a reason behind this.
Seeing Yun Shu's puzzled expression, Zhan Tianye knew that his grandfather had been deceived. He said, "We'll find the people tonight. Once we've met them and clarified things, we'll understand who dared to be so audacious. I'm very curious about what kind of rumors could have deceived my grandfather!"
"After finding the people, send someone to notify me. I will meet them personally," Yun Shu said in a deep voice.
She pondered repeatedly but couldn't fathom how Old Master Qin could have been deceived.
...
Prince Ye's Mansion.
The gatekeeper watched Jiang Luoxi leave with a hint of confusion.
Going out at this hour, would she not be returning tonight?
Or perhaps...
"Is Miss Jiang leaving the mansion? Will she never come back?" the gatekeeper asked with a hopeful glint in his eyes.
He made no attempt to hide his aversion and unwelcomeness towards Jiang Luoxi.
Jiang Luoxi stopped upon hearing this and turned to look at the gatekeeper who had questioned her.
Her eyes were deep, with a hint of darkness.
"I will return tomorrow."
Soon, those who now disliked Jiang Luoxi so much in Prince Ye's Mansion would respectfully address her as the Princess Consort.
Their Prince would also be the same.
Today should show some results.
She never made a move easily; once she did, it would never be in vain.
After Jiang Luoxi had walked far away, the gatekeeper finally reacted.
He frowned and muttered to himself, "It feels too strange. Why does Jiang Luoxi seem so mysterious everywhere she goes? Could she have done something secretly to harm the Prince or Miss Yun the Second?"
No, no, no.
Impossible. Jiang Luoxi's every move was under their watchful eyes!
She couldn't possibly have had the opportunity to scheme anything!
Steward Wang happened to be coming out and saw the gatekeeper daydreaming. He immediately walked over and asked, "What are you spacing out about?"
"Ah! Steward, Miss Jiang just left. She looked very secretive, saying she would return tomorrow. I have a bad premonition; I always feel like Jiang Luoxi is up to something bad behind our backs!" the gatekeeper voiced his doubts.
Steward Wang's expression darkened upon hearing this, and he hummed, "You don't need to use your brain to know that Miss Jiang is not someone to be trifled with. Relying on the Emperor's decree to stay in our mansion, she must be trying to do something bad! You all keep your eyes wide open and watch her every move, understand?"
"Yes, Steward!"
...
As dusk approached.
Old Master Qin felt increasingly restless the more he thought about it.
He skipped dinner and went directly to the General's Mansion.
He wanted to see Yun Changfeng!
He had to make certain things clear to Yun Changfeng!
