Even if he was willing to put the cuckold on himself, as long as he didn't kill the woman on the spot, she would definitely not admit it when the prince asked about it later.

Moreover, Mrs. Jiao came to the capital with the prince, and in the past seven years she had only kept in touch with the steward Chai through correspondence.

If you want to accuse her of infidelity, the prince will definitely not believe it.

Who knows, they might start with the adulterer and involve Butler Chai himself.

They are all princes!

Now that things have come to this, there is nothing that can be done.

It was the emperor's order to invite the prince to the capital, and Butler Chai had no intention of losing his head, so he dared not complain to the emperor.

He clenched his fists and came to the vicinity of Guiyan Pavilion.

Ever since the prince came to the capital, every time he came to Guiyange, he was always in a hurry.

I have never looked at this yard so carefully as I do now.

The main gate had been repainted in maroon, which made Butler Chai feel dazed for a moment, as if he had returned to the time when Princess Yuan was still alive.

At that time, Tong had a very high reputation among the people in the capital. She was beautiful, yet heroic, and she loved to wear a red suit and armor the most.

People all said that such a woman who was both talented in literature and martial arts was a perfect match for the late crown prince.

But unexpectedly, the late emperor issued an imperial edict to grant her a marriage to the Huainan Palace.

At that time, the prince was still the crown prince, and was very dissatisfied with this arranged marriage.

I feel that Tong, a girl, is showing up in public and fighting on the battlefield.

What's more, he has an unclear relationship with the prince.

But even the Tong family, with their glorious military achievements, did not dare to disobey the order, let alone the Prince.

He also has several illegitimate brothers who are eager for the prince to refuse the marriage and anger the late emperor, so that he can be deposed from the position of crown prince and replaced by someone else.

Later, the prince compromised and married the eldest daughter of the Tong family reluctantly.

In the same year, the former crown prince was deposed and imprisoned until his death.

From then on, no one in the capital mentioned these two brilliant people.

When the prince saw Tong's beauty, he was initially interested in her for a few days, but Tong was always cold and indifferent, so he gradually lost his patience.

One of them lives in the front yard, and the other lives in Guiyan Pavilion, so they don't interfere with each other.

It was not until Yan Yuanhao was born that the Prince stepped into Guiyan Pavilion again.

But the two had a big fight that time, and since then, he never set foot in Guiyan Pavilion again.

And Tong was also happy with the quietness and lived her own life behind closed doors.

This Guiyan Pavilion seemed to have always been quiet, just as dead silent as it is now.

Butler Chai stood outside the courtyard for a long time, and the few servants who had been sent over earlier also came over to reply.

"Butler, we've been waiting outside for a long time, but there's not even a sound of anyone getting up to go to the bathroom. This is not right!"

"Have you ever been inside?"

One of the servants said with a joking smile: "No, we wouldn't dare to do that unless you gave the order."

Butler Chai was in no mood to joke with the servant. He whispered, "You, climb over the wall and take a look."

Gah! The boy wanted to slap himself a few times at this moment, why are you talking so much!

He climbed up the courtyard wall under the gloating gaze of the other servants.

But just as he sat on the wall, he was knocked unconscious by Lu Jiao.

The whole person fell limply to the ground with a thud.

Even Butler Chai wanted to curse.

Making such a loud noise, aren’t you afraid of being discovered?

He suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice: "Hey, who is it? What's going on in there? Speak up!"

The other servants didn't dare to speak and waited quietly for the answer from inside.

But the only response they got was the sporadic chirping of insects.

Butler Chai looked at the remaining people and pointed at one at random: "You, go in and take a look."

The person who was chosen looked around and saw that everyone else was far away from him, so he had no choice but to accept defeat.

He gritted his teeth and climbed up to the top of the wall. If you look closely, you can see that his hands and feet are a little weak.

Lu Jiao used the same trick again and continued to knock him out.

There was another sound of something heavy falling to the ground, and then there was no sound.

This time, Butler Chai was anxious and directly asked the remaining three to attack together.

Even if there are guards over there, it’s impossible to subdue three people at once!

As long as he finds out what happened inside, these five servants are nothing. The prince will not really kill them.

But Butler Chai would never have thought that Yan Yuanhao was not a soft-hearted child.

At this moment, inside his body is the soul of a powerful official who has experienced bloody storms.

Lu Jiao was just thinking that knocking them out one by one was too time-consuming, and Butler Chai's decision was simply like sending a pillow to someone when he was sleepy.

It took no effort to knock out all three of them!

Butler Chai heard a louder sound of footfall, and then there was still dead silence.

This time, even the chirping of insects could not be heard.

The cool wind blew on Butler Chai's sweat-soaked clothes, and he shivered suddenly.

There are ghosts!

Could it be that Tong has returned? Or has she always been in this yard and never left?

"It was all Madam's idea! Don't come to me!"

Butler Chai muttered to himself and fled in panic.

Perhaps he himself did not realize that he had said this and Lu Jiao had heard it.

interesting!

Lu Jiao's mental power followed the housekeeper Chai, and saw that he did not return to the courtyard where he lived, but sneaked out of the house, so she couldn't help but feel curious.

Where can you go if you don’t sleep in the middle of the night?

Lu Jiao ignored the five servants and threw them against the wall. With her control over her mental power, this was enough to make them unconscious until noon the next day.

When Yan Yuanhao comes back, the guards will naturally discover these five people.

She's not a murderer, how could she really get rid of him directly?

Lu Jiao returned to the roof of Guiyan Pavilion. The waning moon was like a curved fishhook hanging in the air.

From time to time, dark clouds would float in and completely cover the moon, and the whole world seemed to be plunged into darkness.

The air is also very humid.

Lu Jiao took a deep breath, fearing that it would rain again soon.

A heavy rain can cover up many things.

For example, the butler Chai who hurried through the night.

He walked in the alleys with ease. There were a lot of debris piled up in many places, making it very difficult to walk.

The ground was extremely slippery due to moisture, and he nearly slipped several times.

He walked through the entire market town and entered an alley through the back door of a house.

It didn't stop until it reached the gate of a small courtyard.

He stood in front of the courtyard gate for a long time, and only after he had caught his breath did he gently knock on the door.

After a moment, a middle-aged woman's voice was heard asking questions from inside.

"Who's out there?"

"it's me."

When the woman heard the familiar voice, she quickly opened the door to a gap just enough for one person to pass through.

After letting Butler Chai in, she stuck her head out again to make sure there was no one outside before she retracted her body and locked the door.

"Master, why are you here so late? Madam and the young master have already gone to bed."

"Mrs. Fu, go to sleep. You are not needed here anymore."

Butler Chai walked straight to the main house in the backyard.

Lu Jiao looked carefully at the small two-story house.

Although this place is close to the gate of the East City, a courtyard like this would probably cost one or two thousand taels of silver.
