Yun Xiaojing nodded, "He's definitely jealous. I sensed it just now. It seems my plan worked well, but it depends on how much he likes Mother. Will he go to Mother tonight?"
"Will he?" Zhan Xiaofeng sounded worried.
Zhan Xiaoli was also concerned, "I've never seen Father like anyone before."
"That's because you haven't read enough books! I've listened to so many stories from the scholars. So many people are like him... what's the word? 'Mén sāo'! Mén sāo means cold on the outside but boiling with emotions on the inside!" Yun Xiaojing explained vividly.
"Let's not sleep tonight. When it gets dark, we'll go see if he's here. If he's not, it means he's gone to find Mother! The storyteller said that when a man likes a woman, he definitely can't let her be with anyone else! Although I don't understand it, Uncle Ruan said that most men have this problem when they grow up, and maybe we will too." Seeing that her two older brothers were still confused, Yun Xiaojing quickly explained.
Zhan Xiaoli and Gu Xiaofeng became even more bewildered.
However, they both nodded.
They would know the answer tonight by checking if Father was home!
...
Regent's Mansion.
A man in black, as dusk fell, silently entered the Regent's Mansion.
He approached Zhan Ming.
And reported a few words in a low voice.
"The Night King is secretly searching for Yun Yueyin?" Zhan Ming narrowed his phoenix eyes.
"Yes."
Zhan Ming was silent for a moment, then said, "Since Yun Yueyin died in the fire, her body burned to a charred corpse, why is the Night King still looking for her? Could it be that the charred corpse wasn't Yun Yueyin?"
"The authorities have no news yet, so it's impossible to confirm," the man in black replied.
Zhan Ming let out a cold laugh, "It seems the person who died wasn't Yun Yueyin. Go and search for her immediately! Absolutely do not let her fall into the Night King's hands."
"Yes!"
The man in black acknowledged the order but didn't leave immediately. He seemed to have something else to say, but hesitated for some reason.
"Is there something else?" Zhan Ming asked.
The man in black immediately lowered his head and replied respectfully, "It concerns the Divine Physician. Your subordinate has just caught some wind, but the news isn't confirmed yet, so I don't know if I should report it to Your Highness now." xxs1
"Speak," Zhan Ming felt a strange sensation when he heard the words "Divine Physician."
"Our spies in other regions have sent messages back to the capital claiming to have heard that the Divine Physician is a woman. Of course, this matter hasn't been verified yet, it's just a rumor, and it doesn't mean that Divine Doctor Lu isn't the Divine Physician." The man in black stated everything without reservation.
Zhan Ming's face instantly turned extremely grim.
He slammed the table beside him.
The table split open with a crack.
It broke directly into two halves.
Seeing this, the man in black was startled and took a step back.
Anyone close to the Regent knew how much the Regent trusted Divine Doctor Lu.
"The Divine Physician is a woman?" Zhan Ming gritted his teeth, his expression ferocious and menacing, "Lu Hao, how dare you deceive me! Damn it!"
"Your Highness, the news is not confirmed yet, so..."
Before the man in black could finish, Zhan Ming immediately ordered, "Bring Lu Hao here. I want to see him now!"
A moment later.
A servant reported, "Your Highness, Divine Doctor Lu is not in his room. This servant has already ordered people to search the mansion for him!"
Zhan Ming's face turned incredibly grim upon hearing this, "Search! He absolutely must not escape the Regent's Mansion!"
"Yes!"
At the same time.
In a hidden corner of the Regent's Mansion.
Lu Hao looked at the high wall nearby and suddenly regretted not practicing his Qinggong more diligently.
It was delaying his escape!
He could find this place to escape because Old Yin had told him. His eyelids had been twitching all day; it must be an omen. He had to escape tonight. His life was on the line! Moreover, he had to go to the Night King's mansion.
He climbed with all his might towards the top of the wall.
Using all his strength, he finally reached the top of the wall!
However.
The next moment.
Someone grabbed his leg and yanked him down from the wall!
Seeing the group of fierce-looking mansion guards, Lu Hao inwardly cried out, "This is bad!"
His identity must have been exposed!
It's over!
A moment later.
Two guards dragged Lu Hao in front of Zhan Ming.
Zhan Ming exuded a chilling aura of killing intent.
He looked down at Lu Hao, who was being held down by the two guards.
"You dare to deceive me?! Lu Hao, do you know the consequences of deceiving me?" Zhan Ming smiled, his grin horrifyingly sinister.
Lu Hao felt the pain of being stepped on and trembled with fear, "I don't understand what the Regent means. When did I deceive the Regent?"
"Still playing tough? I've suspected you for a long time. If you won't tell the truth, then I'll let you truly feel the consequences of deceiving me!" Zhan Ming chuckled sinisterly.
At this moment, everyone in the room who saw Zhan Ming's smile turned pale and felt a sense of dread.
They didn't dare to look at Zhan Ming at all.
Lu Hao's eyes widened, his face ashen.
The more he understood Zhan Ming, the more he knew that Zhan Ming was a complete pervert!
What should he do?!
...
Night fell.
After dinner, Yun Shu left the General's Mansion.
After changing her appearance, she entered a deserted road.
She headed towards the darkest part of the night.
Jing Heng followed behind her like a ghost, his head bowed, making it difficult for ordinary people to see his features if they didn't look closely.
There was no one on the road, and Yun Shu felt a bit bored. She asked Jing Heng with a touch of gossip, "A'cha is a girl worth cherishing. You must treat her well."
"Master!" Jing Heng suddenly raised his head.
In the darkness, Jing Heng's chiseled face was indeed quite handsome.
Yun Shu treated Jing Heng like a younger brother. Seeing that Jing Heng had different feelings for A'cha now, she felt a little anticipation and couldn't help but smile, "Why are you shy? I can see that you like A'cha. Otherwise, why would you secretly investigate A'cha's father in your spare time?"
Jing Heng was helpless, his face flushed, not knowing how to explain. He could only stammer, "Master, it's not about romantic feelings."
"Alright, I'll find a good husband for A'cha later." Yun Shu changed the subject.
Watching Jing Heng become a little anxious, she smiled again, "Alright, alright, I understand your feelings. A'cha is indeed a good woman. In a while, the scars on her face will completely disappear. Jing Heng, once you've confirmed your feelings, don't hesitate."
Jing Heng let out a soft "Mm" and lowered his head.
After a while.
Just as Yun Shu was about to turn left, a carriage suddenly blocked her path.
When she saw the person driving the carriage, Yun Shu was a little surprised.
