Yu Zhengsha had already weighed the pros and cons in his mind. If he really caught this evidence, he would definitely report it to the Heavenly Palace and make sure that Murong Feng would never be able to turn over. Firstly, he wanted to let this young boy know the consequences of hindering his plans. Secondly, since he was a discarded pawn, he should be suppressed thoroughly!

"Let's go, Jiang Bai! Faster!"

"Yes!"

The lantern in Jiang Bai's hand swayed left and right as the two men walked. The flame in the lantern crackled in the night wind, just like the anger in Yu Zhengsha's heart at the moment.

The lights in the guest room were on, and Yu Zhengsha suddenly pushed open Murong Feng's door.

Murong Feng in the room looked calm, holding a book in his hand, seemingly reading under the lamp. Only the two teacups on the table that had not been put away in time betrayed him.

Yu Zhengsha's expression became even colder, but he didn't say anything. He just stared at the two steaming cups of tea on the table.

Murong Feng followed Yu Zhengsha's gaze and was immediately shocked. Damn it, he actually overlooked this detail. He was the only one in the room. He couldn't say that he and Qiu Hen were drinking tea together just now, right?

Murong Feng felt uneasy, and tightened his grip on the book. "What's the matter with the Prime Minister visiting so late at night?"

There was a hint of anger in his words. Even if he was abandoned, he was still a member of the royal family. Yu Zhengsha's behavior was somewhat disrespectful to the royal family!

Yu Zhengsha bowed respectfully, his brows shifting as he spoke, "My house was recently robbed, and the servants are chasing the thief. I was afraid that the thief might disturb Your Highness, so I came here in person to investigate."

Although he knew that Yu Zhengsha was making excuses, Murong Feng had no choice but to put on his usual warm smile. "I see, thank you for your concern, Prime Minister. I think this palace is quite quiet. It must have been a false alarm."

"Your Highness is right. I'm afraid I really misheard you. It's late at night. Your Highness should go to bed early!"

Yu Zhengsha did not stay any longer. As soon as he left the room, Jiang Bai lowered his voice and said, "Master, the one called Qiu Hen who was with the eldest prince is missing."

"I know that Yu Qingli and the others probably left through the side door. Qiu Hen isn't familiar with the terrain of this mansion, so I believe Yu Qingli hasn't returned to the courtyard yet. Jiang Bai, give the order to impose martial law throughout the mansion. Let's go to Liyuan!"

"Yes!"

Yu Zhengsha is full of righteousness, and he looks like he is willing to kill his own relatives for the sake of justice. The humiliation he suffered before came to his mind, and his expression was tinged with murderous intent. Yu Qingli, this time, he will teach his daughter a good lesson and let her know what propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are!

In fact, just as Yu Zhengsha guessed, Qiu Hen did not stay long after sending Yu Qingli and the others out of the wall of the villa. He was Murong Feng's servant, but also his personal bodyguard. If it were not for special circumstances, he would never leave Murong Feng.

Therefore, the first thing Qiu Hen did at that moment was not to help Yu Qingli and the others with the aftermath, but to turn back and protect Murong Feng's safety.

Yu Qingli did not stop him. In her previous life, she did not have much good feelings towards this loyal guard who could not distinguish right from wrong. And as far as she knew, after Murong Feng ascended the throne, this man was directly promoted from a small guard to the commander of the imperial guards, and became Murong Feng's trusted general!

The night grew darker and darker, and Yu Qingli and Mei Hong hurried back together.

"Miss, I am a fast runner, so why don't I hurry back and help you hold off for a while? If the master and his men can't find you here, they will naturally go to Liyuan."

"Alright! You go first."

Yu Qingli was not worried that Mei Hong would fabricate faults about her in front of Yu Zhengsha. At least at this moment, she would not betray her.

After getting Yu Qingli's approval, Mei Hong quickened her pace and soon disappeared from Yu Qingli's sight.

Yu Qingli, on the contrary, was not anxious at all. The moonlight sprinkled softly on her face, but it inexplicably gave off a sense of coldness. The expressionless face made Yu Qingli look like a vengeful elf walking out of the night.

"Lili, compared to your pretentious expression just now, I really like your current expression!"

A teasing voice sounded from behind Yu Qingli. A cool breeze blew by, and Yu Qingli fell into a warm embrace. Yu Qingli had become immune to this outgoing man, so his appearance did not surprise her too much.

"Your Highness, please let me go. I'm in a hurry to go back!"

"What if I don't let you go?" Murong Yanhui whispered ambiguously into Yu Qingli's ear, his warm and evil breath carrying some indescribable temptation.

However, it is useless to Yu Qingli!

A sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, and the next second, a small jade hairpin appeared in Yu Qingli's hand, and the pointed end of the hairpin was pressed against Murong Yanhui's chest.

"Please don't waste my time, my Lord!"

Murong Yanhui was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Hahahaha..."

Under the moonlight, Yu Qingli's eyes flashed with indifference. The silver-white light sprinkled on Yu Qingli's body, and the jade hairpin in her hand pierced downwards without hesitation.

A large hand tightly wrapped around her bare hand. Murong Yan leaned over to Yu Qingli's ear and whispered, "Your courage is commendable! I like you! But..."

He paused, then continued, "That's a bit of a stupid idea!"

"you!"

Yu Qingli glanced over with a cold look, but Murong Yanhui took it all in. With a little force in her hand, Yu Qingli felt a pain in her hand, and the jade hairpin was in Murong Yanhui's hand.

"Let's go. I'll take you for a ride. As for this..." Murong Yanhui shook the jade hairpin in his hand, "It's considered interest!"

Yu Qingli wondered, why would this scoundrel prince suddenly be so kind? Could he have some other motive? Regardless of his purpose, since he offered to help her, it would save her a lot of trouble.

Murong Yanhui stretched out his long arms, hugged Yu Qingli in his arms, pointed his toes, and flew towards the villa.

All they could hear along the way was the whistling of the wind. The two of them leaped and danced like elves under the moon, directly climbing over one courtyard wall after another and landing on a big tree above Yu Qingli's Liyuan.

After stopping, Yu Qingli discovered that the house had been brightly lit at some point, and the servants were all patrolling around in high spirits, as if they had discovered some notorious bandit.

Murong Yanhui said with a click of his tongue, "It seems that Prime Minister Yu is really generous. Look at this small courtyard, it's surrounded by three layers of security inside and outside. If you don't know, you would think that there are thieves in the Yu Mansion!"

Yu Qingli didn't say anything, but her hands were clenched into fists, and her pointed nails almost dug into the flesh. It seemed that she was wrong. She had thought that even if she contradicted her father, he would not hit her. However, judging from the current situation, she was indeed too naive.

Come to think of it, even his mother, with whom he had slept for so many years, and his most beloved concubine, Zhou, could become stepping stones for Yu Zhengsha. What meaning did his daughter have to him?

A negative emotion completely surrounded Yu Qingli. Although she had suffered so much betrayal and hardship in her previous life, at least she had not discovered her father's true face. Suddenly she realized that sometimes ignorance could also be a kind of happiness.

"Lili..."

The coldness that was like falling into hell made Murong Yanhui, who was standing by, feel a chill. Looking at Yu Qingli's expressionless face, although there was no emotional fluctuation, Murong Yanhui could feel the grief and hatred in Yu Qingli's heart.

Looking from afar on the tree, amidst the dim lights, Yu Zhengsha and Jiang Bai were hurrying towards Liyuan with a few servants!

Yu Qingli sneered. After this, the relationship between her and her father was probably dead in name only. But so what? After all, they were just one person. There was no difference between the past and present lives.

Murong Yanhui took Yu Qingli and jumped down the tree. Seeing her solemn expression, Murong Yanhui did not stay for long.

Today, let her go for now, but he will certainly have to settle this account in the future. He, Murong Yanhui, has never done business at a loss.

Yu Qingli returned to the room, quickly took off her coat, ruffled her hair, washed off her makeup, and even remembered to change her shoes. She knew Yu Zhengsha very well. He was an extremely cautious person and would catch even the slightest details.

After doing all this, Yu Qingli lay back on the bed. Before she closed her eyes, she heard the door being pushed open with a bang, and a figure flashed in.

"What should we do now? The young lady hasn't come back yet..."

The person who came was obviously Mei Hong. She was talking to herself and thinking of a solution. Her body was covered with mud, and even her face was black, but she was obviously not in the mood to care about these things at the moment. Seeing that the Prime Minister was about to come, what should she do?

"Meihong..."

Yu Qingli's low call caused Mei Hong to scream, but the next second Yu Qingli covered her mouth and shouted coldly: "Keep your voice down!"

Mei Hong opened her eyes wide and nodded continuously, looking at Yu Qingli who was already in the room with some disbelief. She was wearing underwear, her hair was messy, and she looked like she had just crawled out of bed. If it weren't for the clarity in her eyes, she would almost think that everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Yu Qingli let go of Mei Hong and looked her up and down. Mei Hong no longer looked pretty and charming. She couldn't help but frown, "Hurry up and change your clothes! Hurry up, my father is coming!"

Mei Hong nodded slightly, and a moment later, a neat and tidy maid reappeared in front of Yu Qingli.

Yu Qingli nodded in satisfaction. She did not continue talking to Mei Hong, but just told her to do as usual. She believed that with Mei Hong's intelligence, she should know how to deal with the next things without her teaching, so she was not worried about this at all.

The footsteps were getting closer, and then there was a "bang!" and the door of the room was pushed open!
