After Gu Nuo’er left, Yun Linzhou sat in the pavilion, calmly tasting tea and enjoying pastries.
However, Yun Linzhou wasn’t in the mood to savor the sweet snacks that Gu Nuo’er ate.
His trusted aide beside him could tell that his young master’s expression was calm and he didn’t even pretend to be stupid.
His trusted aide couldn’t help but go forward and remind him, “Prince, be careful that others can tell that you’re in a bad mood.”
Yun Linzhou put down his teacup, his fair and handsome face seeming to be covered in a layer of gloom.
“Wenmo, tell me, what should I do to be able to stay by Nuo’er’s side like Ye Siming?”
His trusted aide was puzzled. “This subordinate believes that the reason why Marquis Yongye is so valued is that apart from having grown up by Her Highness’s side, he’s also very skilled in martial arts.
“Now that the Prince is trying to achieve great things, you naturally can’t reveal your talents. Therefore, there will definitely be some differences between the two of you.”
Yun Linzhou’s expression was cold. He looked at the sparkling lake, but his eyes were dark.
He sneered in a low voice. “Sometimes, I hate how I have to pretend to be a fool. I can’t wait to end Yun Chuhuai’s life.’
Wenmo was shocked. “Prince, you can’t say this outside!”
Walls have ears.
If anyone heard this, Yun Linzhou’s years of pretending to be slow-witted would have been in vain.
Yun Linzhou closed his eyes slightly and quickly adjusted his emotions.
He had good tolerance and was great at scheming. He was also smart and bold.
Since he was planning to achieve great things, he mustn’t lose his patience and composure over small matters.
A moment later, Yun Linzhou heaved a sigh of relief. “How’s the matter I asked you to investigate? What’s the background of my good older brother?”
“This subordinate can only investigate until back then, before the princeO and the princess consort was not pregnant and brought Eldest Young Master home.
“This subordinate heard from the servants in the manor at that time that when
Eldest Young Master first came to the manor, he didn’t know how to speak the
Great Qi’s language and was very quiet.”
Yun Linzhou frowned slightly. “He’s not from Great Qi?”
Wenmo said, “This matter has yet to be investigated clearly. This is because it has been many years and the servants might not have remembered things clearly.
“Apart from this, we can’t find any other clues. To outsiders, the prince and the princess consort only said that this child was picked up from the roadside.”
Yun Linzhou recalled faintly. “I’ve asked the nanny before. It wasn’t that my mother couldn’t get pregnant back then.”
In other words, they had deliberately brought Yun Chuhuai into the manor.
His identity was so strange and mysterious, and he was given additional emphasis in being nurtured. What was the reason for this?
Yun Linzhou pondered for a long time and suddenly smiled. “Interesting.”
Wenxun said, “If one day, Prince were to discover that what His Highness and the princess consort are going to do is against the goals you want to achieve, what will Prince do?”
Yun Linzhou didn’t say anything and only picked up a half-eaten pastry that Gu Nuo’er had left behind.
He placed it under his nose and sniffed it. Then, he followed the child’s bite mark and took another bite.
This pastry was even sweeter than what he had tasted just now.
Yun Linzhou picked up a plate of pastry crumbs, walked to the lake, flipped his wrist, and dropped everything in.
The water rippled as the fish pounced on their food, making Yun Linzhou’s calm face look treacherous and deep.
Wenmo heard his young master say with his back facing him—
“If Father and Mother get in my way, I’ll sharpen the blade and give them a quick death.”
When Wenmo heard this, he felt a deep chill. He lowered his head and didn’t dare to ask further.
When Gu Nuo’er returned to the vicinity of the cuju field.
Xie Yinxiang and Jiang Xiaoran had already returned.
Jiang Xiaoran had probably apologized. Xie Yinxiang said reluctantly, “I can be in the same group as Young Master Jiang, but I don’t know you very well. If you don’t win, don’t be angry.”
