"What? You're leaving after just drinking some tea? The pine nut fish I ordered hasn't arrived yet." Murong Yanhui grabbed Yu Qingli's wrist and said, "Lili, don't you want to try it? The food in this Qionglou is really unique."

Yu Qingli shook off Murong Yanhui and said calmly, "As long as my little uncle likes it, please enjoy it slowly. Goodbye."

Yu Qingli turned and left. Murong Yanhui leaned over the railing and looked down. A figure tumbled down from the roof like a ghost. "Master, do you think Miss Yu knows who that person is?"

Murong Yanhui narrowed her eyes, thinking of Yu Qingli's subtle misstep, and raised the corners of her lips, "I think I've guessed who Lili guessed."

"Who is it? Who is it? Master, you actually guessed it too?" Changkong immediately looked like a curious baby, squatting beside Murong Yanhui and looking up at him.

Murong Yanhui turned around and saw Changkong's disgusting appearance of a tough guy pretending to be cute. She covered his face with a palm and threw him back. "If you want to know, eat well. You will see something tonight."

After nightfall, the wind seemed to be much cooler. Yu Qingli glanced at the sky and turned to look at Xiluo behind her. She had already put on a tight nightgown.

"The masters in the mansion are hidden very deeply. So far, I only know the few I mentioned just now. You must be careful everywhere tonight." Yu Qingli said with a frown.

Xiluo nodded after hearing this, "Don't worry, young lady. If it really doesn't work, I will run away. Anyway, I won't be caught by them."

Xiluo spoke so firmly that Yu Qingli's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She grabbed Xiluo's hand and said, "If you can't get any information, you can ask again. You must protect yourself and don't have the mentality of dying if you don't succeed."

"Xiluo, you have to remember that what I need most is you by my side, not anything else."

Xiluo's nose felt sore when she heard that, and she quickly pulled up her veil, "Don't worry, Miss."

Yu Qingli watched Xiluo climb over the wall and pass through the house, and her figure disappeared lightly into the night. Tonight was a waning moon, and the moonlight was so faint that it was almost invisible, like a cicada's wing. The wind was very strong, and it made a rustling sound in the fields. Such an environment was very suitable for night travel. Yu Qingli felt that Xiluo would definitely return safely.

Xiluo's nimble figure paused slightly and landed on a big tree. Under the tree was a huge courtyard. Several lanterns were swaying in the wind, flickering, but no human figure was visible.

Xiluo glanced at the shadow, estimated the time, and quietly hid in the shadow of the bushes.

It was not until the night watchman rang the gong for the third watch that the heavy door creaked open. On such a night, it was like opening a door to hell.

Xiluo was cheered up and looked down, only to see Yu Zhengsha coming out from the open door.

Xiluo curled the corners of his lips, secretly admiring Yu Qingli's strategic planning. He guessed that this was the place based on just one sentence from King Yan.

Yu Zhengsha respectfully helped the man down from the carriage. The man was wearing a large cloak and a hood that hid his entire body in shadow.

Xiluo looked at it, thought about what Yu Qingli had instructed, and went to the bedroom without any doubt.

Yu Zhengsha was suspicious by nature, and most of the things that happened in public were discussed in the study. But on a night like this, he would definitely not feel safe discussing things in the study where there were trees on all sides, making it a convenient place to hide people. Therefore, Yu Zhengsha would definitely arrange for Murong Feng to go to his bedroom.

The bedroom is open on all sides, and the bluestone floor is so soft that you can hear a pin drop. That is where Yu Zhengsha feels truly safe.

As Xiluo stood up, the shadow of the tree on the other side immediately shook, and two ghostly figures followed Xiluo closely, but without any sound.

They saw Xiluo finding a place to hide from afar, and immediately found a similar place to hide.

As soon as the three shadows hid, Yu Zhengsha and Murong Feng arrived.

"Master, you're right again." Changkong gestured with sign language, his eyes full of admiration.

Murong Yanhui still had a smile on her lips, but her eyes were as cold as ice, without any emotion at all.

Yu Zhengsha, a shrewd and calculating man who had always been cautious and self-protective, why would he collude with Murong Feng this time? From what the man said that afternoon, they had been in contact for a long time, and Yu Zhengsha seemed to have promised Murong Feng something.

Murong Yanhui felt strange and even more surprised. Yu Zhengsha always behaved impartially and showed such solitude between Murong Cheng and Murong Feng. He was only loyal to Murong Shileng, so Murong Shileng could tolerate him. But it turned out that this old fox had already colluded with Murong Feng, and he was hiding it quite deeply!

"Your Highness, why do you come to visit me in the middle of the night? I wonder?" Yu Zhengsha's steady and hoarse voice could be heard clearly through the gauze window.

"I want to ask you if what you said last time is still true." Murong Feng asked calmly, but there was a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"I wonder what Your Highness is talking about? I am old and my memory is not as good as before." Yu Zhengsha said, still standing respectfully in front of Murong Feng with a slight bow. However, such a respectful posture was not worthy of his rebellious words at all.

Murong Feng was furious, but when he thought about what he needed from him, he finally suppressed his anger and said solemnly, "Master Yu is not old. I see that he is a noble man. Noble men tend to forget things."

Yu Zhengsha twitched the corners of his mouth with a forced smile, but said nothing.

Murong Feng's teeth itched with hatred, but he still forced himself to say, "It seems that I need to remind Master Yu. Two years ago, a victim of that piece of land west of the city filed a complaint with the Dali Temple, saying that the powerful people in the capital had forcibly enclosed the land, causing her family to be destroyed."

Yu Zhengsha slowly straightened up after hearing this. "I have also heard about what Your Highness said, but I remember that Your Highness personally heard the case and the Dali Temple had already closed it."

Murong Yanhui suddenly laughed silently upon hearing this. These two foxes were playing off each other quite well. No wonder he'd felt the case was so strangely resolved. Murong Feng had, indeed, been behind it. Now that Yu Zhengsha had brought up the fact that Murong Feng was the presiding judge, it was simply to remind Murong Feng that this matter had nothing to do with him. Naturally, Murong Feng's threat to him was meaningless.

Murong Feng was no fool, so he could naturally hear what was going on. His hands creaked as he gripped the handle of the mahogany chair. After a long pause, he said, "A word is as good as gold. I never thought that Lord Yu would be such an ungrateful person."

"A word is as good as gold. That's when a promise is made. I don't remember what promise I made to Your Highness at that time. Perhaps... Your Highness misunderstood?" Yu Zhengsha spoke very steadily and with full confidence.

Murong Feng finally couldn't help but snorted coldly and took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve.

"I have long suspected that Lord Yu has a bad memory, so I left this thing to remind you."

When Yu Zhengsha saw it, his pupils suddenly shrank. It turned out to be a petition written in blood by that woman, accusing Yu Zhengsha of persecuting her and her son, and that fortunately they were saved by the eldest prince. In short, it was a petition that crushed Yu Zhengsha to pieces.

Seeing Yu Zhengsha's gradually pale face, Murong Feng finally let out a sigh of relief and said with a hint of pride, "Now that mother and son have been placed elsewhere by me, if Lord Yu still can't remember the promise he made to me, I will have to ask them to come out and help Lord Yu think about it again."

Murong Feng paused at this point. "Although I made some mistakes in my trial, they are ultimately no more serious than Lord Yu's crime of forcibly enclosing land and selling it at a high price for profit. Moreover, I am the emperor's son, while Lord Yu is merely his subject. The difference between these two words is far greater than a thousand miles. Lord Yu...you must remember this carefully."

Yu Zhengsha finally couldn't hold it in any longer and bowed to Murong Feng with a forced smile, "Your Highness, when you say that, this old minister suddenly remembered. If Your Highness hadn't intervened that time, this old minister would have been in great trouble."

Murong Feng also smiled coldly, "Master Yu, just remember it, just remember it."

Yu Zhengsha immediately changed the subject, "I wonder what orders Your Highness has for you this time? If I can do it, I will definitely die for Your Highness."

"There's no need to risk your life, but I've heard that Lord Yu is a very good businessman, and I want to learn a thing or two from him."

"This……"

Yu Zhengsha was about to refuse, but he saw Murong Feng folding the blood letter intentionally or unintentionally, and his movements were so big that even a blind person could see it.

Yu Zhengsha, a shrewd and calculating man, was not willing to suffer such a setback. He gritted his teeth and said, "I have a small fortune. I would like to give Your Highness one-tenth of my shares. This way, Your Highness only needs to wait for the dividends."

Murong Feng hummed a satisfied "hmm" upon hearing this. Thinking of Yu Zhengsha's many tricks, and fearing he might deny it again, he said, "These words are not enough to back it up. How about drawing up a contract, Lord Yu, if you don't mind?"

Yu Zhengsha hurriedly said, "Your Highness, once this contract is drafted and the real evidence is confirmed, I'm afraid..."

"It's okay! I will keep it. Besides, you know it, I know it, heaven and earth know it. As long as you and I don't tell it, who else will know it?" After Murong Feng said this, he walked straight to Yu Zhengsha's desk, personally picked up a pen and drafted a contract, then signed and stamped his handprint neatly, and then handed it to Yu Zhengsha.

At this point, his tail was in Murong Feng's hands again. Fortunately, the other party was only asking for money. Nothing in this world that could be solved with money was a big deal.

Yu Zhengsha quickly signed his name and stamped his hand. Murong Feng blew the ink away with satisfaction and folded it carefully.

"Master Yu is indeed a straightforward person. If you need me for business matters, just let me know. Now you and I are family."

Murong Feng paused as he spoke, "No, Master Yu, you and I have been a family for a long time, right? Master father-in-law."

Yu Zhengsha shook his shoulders with a forced smile. Seeing that Murong Feng hadn't left for a long time, he naturally understood. He pulled a stack of banknotes from the drawer and presented them to Murong Feng with both hands. "These are the bonuses for this month."

Murong Feng took it and looked at it, then smiled with satisfaction, "Well, thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. I will take my leave now."

Xiluo watched Yu Zhengsha send Murong Feng away, then swiftly climbed into Yu Zhengsha's bedroom, opened the drawer and saw that it was already empty.

Xiluo pursed his lips and turned back to the yard.
