One touch and one silence

Chapter 515 Substitute Marriage

"How can you be so cowardly, young master! This won't do!"

The young man looked at the man who was speaking and his expression became much uglier.

Ever since he agreed to cooperate with them, they became indifferent and ignored his wishes every time, which made him regret agreeing to these people.

The man, who was originally in a good mood, immediately changed his expression when he saw that the young man was angry.

"Young Master, what we are about to do is a capital crime, so of course we have to be careful!"

"The secret guards around your prince have already been sent out. According to our investigation, besides the deputy commander of the secret guards, there is another person in the dark beside your prince. The others are out doing things for your prince!"

"So don't worry. It seems impossible for such a huge palace to discover our whereabouts!"

I have to say that this man is very arrogant.

The young man sneered, "Really? Then why has Lord Liu Yue already discovered you?"

When the man heard this, his expression became serious, "Impossible!"

The young man snorted coldly and looked at the arrogant man with sarcasm.

Only then did the man realize that it seemed to be true.

"So you're coming out now?"

The young man looked at the frowning man in front of him sarcastically and sneered.

"I'm not a proud and arrogant person like you. You also said that the secret guards in the mansion are not here, and the prince has not restricted us from going out to play!"

Having said that, he actually still likes this prince very much in his heart.

Ever since they came to Jiangnan with the prince, no one ever said anything when they wanted to go out and play or do their own things.

As long as they finish their own tasks, they can arrange the rest by themselves. It is not like before, when there was endless work to do, not enough food to eat, and endless beatings every day.

He didn't want to betray the prince at first, but who wants to be a slave at the beck and call of others?

Why can't he become a high and mighty prince?

He also has royal blood, why can't he? Why should he be a slave?

"When did you come? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" The young man couldn't help but frown. He knew a little about Jiangnan.

Now is not a good time.

"We came here for something important to do, but we chose the wrong time. The person we were looking for has already left Jiangnan, so we came to see how the young master is doing!"

The young man sneered. He knew that these people were using him. Even though they were his people and served him as their master, in reality, they were just using him.

"I don't care what you do. Leave Jiangnan immediately and don't come back this year!"

He had a premonition that the prince was going to do something big, but as to what it was, he didn't know at the moment!

Now that the prince is not around to serve him closely, he doesn’t know what important things the prince has done?

Just by looking at the fact that the secret guards were often absent, and that Lord Yuan, whom the prince brought back, went out early and came back late every day, one could tell that this matter would not be simple.

"why?"

The man opposite the boy looked at him puzzledly.

The young man said unhappily, "You know my situation, so who should I ask if you ask me?"

The man was choked with anger by the boy's words, and seeing that the boy didn't want to say more, he didn't bother to bother with any more.

As expected, the son of Prince Zhennan is as stupid as him.

"Since the young master has said so, our subordinates will leave Jiangnan tomorrow!"

The boy didn't say anything and didn't touch the food on the table.

"Aren't you hungry, sir? Eat something. These are all your favorite dishes!"

The young man glanced at the pastries here with disdain. He was used to eating the snacks in the palace, so who would want to eat these things?

The man saw disgust in his expression, which made him a little confused.

He didn't like these? But he asked his subordinates to pack up the best snacks in Jiangnan that he ordered.

"Not hungry!"

"You guys should leave quickly!"

After the boy finished speaking, he stood up and left without paying any attention to the person behind him.

Since they don’t want to tell me the purpose of coming to Jiangnan, it’s okay, right?

Do you really think he can't guess it?

If his guess was correct, the only important figure who had left Jiangnan recently was the third master of the Zhuo family. They should want to discuss cooperation with the third master of the Zhuo family, right?

After all, who in Jiangnan is more powerful than the Zhuo family? Even the current Prince Anle stays in the mansion obediently, doesn't he?

Do you really think he knows nothing? Haha! They are just using each other.

The man behind him was still sitting on the chair, his eyes drifting through the doors and windows to somewhere unknown.

At this time, a man came out from the dark, "Sir! What should we do now?"

The man casually picked up a piece of dessert and threw it into his mouth, with a somewhat confusing expression on his face.

"You heard it just now. The master asked us to leave. I believe the master is also worried about our safety. But I am also worried about the master's safety. I left some good people to hide in the dark. If there is any news, please report it immediately."

After the man finished speaking, he stood up and left the inn, disappearing into the crowd.

The young man bought some candied haws and snacks and returned to the palace. In a good mood, he also gave some to the gatekeeper.

As soon as he returned to his room, the boy threw his things aside in disgust.

I lay on the bed, thinking back to the man's eyes. The more I thought about him, the angrier I got.

He has no power now, and sooner or later he will make those who look down on him pay the price.

Around lunchtime the next day, Shang Huaian came to the palace again.

Nanzhi asked someone to invite him in.

Looking at the food that had been prepared, Shang Huaian's face was full of surprise. It seemed that the prince wanted him to have lunch with him.

Does that mean that their relationship has taken a step further?

It turned out that his old friend was right!

"Let's eat together!"

Nanzhi invited Shang Huaian to have lunch together. Wasn’t this kind of thing always like this in previous lives?

However, some people misunderstood!

Shang Huaian was delighted, "So! I will respectfully obey your command!"

Nanzhi picked up a piece of her favorite braised crucian carp and didn't stop eating.

"Since Lord Shang is here, I guess there must be news about that nameless corpse?"

"That's right!" Shang Huaian swallowed the meat in his mouth. It tasted especially good. If he wasn't answering the prince, he would have chewed it a few more times.

"Then I guess you know the reason why he came to Jiangnan? Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Nanzhi picked up a piece of vegetable, paused and asked.

Shang Huaian listened to Nanzhi's words, thought about what he had found out, and frowned in displeasure.

"Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with the Liang family. After their young mistress died, the Zhuo family had already taken a fancy to the Liang family's legitimate daughter. I guess it was a marriage alliance."

"It's just that after the young master died, the Liang family didn't want to marry their legitimate daughter to the family anymore, but they couldn't bear to give up their overwhelming wealth, so they let their engaged concubine's daughter marry the family instead of the legitimate daughter!"
