Yin Shi.

Lu Huaiyang was startled awake when he heard the noise outside.

He turned his head to glance at Ye Nanyue who was sleeping soundly beside him, reached out and gently covered her with the quilt, covering her exposed shoulders.

The woman put on her strange little camisole made of little fabric again. After returning from Jiang Liuli, he planned to talk to Ye Nanyue about Jiang Liuli.

As soon as he came back and saw Ye Nanyue's little suspenders, he forgot about it.

They tossed and turned until three quarters past midnight before they finally rested. At this moment, Ye Nanyue was probably tired and fell into a deep sleep.

Lu Huaiyang tiptoed out of the wing room and asked in the yard, "What's wrong?"

The two shadow guards were waiting there in their night clothes. When Lu Huaiyang asked, they immediately said, "Master, it's done."

"Oh?" Lu Huaiyang raised his eyebrows, his expression brightening slightly: "Where's Xiaojiu?"

"Xiaojiu faked his death and was thrown into a mass grave. We've taken him back."

Ying Qi said hurriedly: "At the moment, I am familiar with the boss in my own courtyard. I will come to see the master later."

Lu Huaiyang nodded: "No one found out, right?"

"Don't worry, we found another female corpse with a rotten face and changed it into Xiaojiu's clothes. No one will notice anything."

"That's good!" Lu Huaiyang said, "What about Yingyi?"

"All the money in Minister Lin's house was taken away, and the eldest brother threw all the underwear of Minister Lin and his wife onto the street."

"The silver that Minister Lin had was all hidden silver. The boss took out all the account books he kept in the secret room and threw them into the home of the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple!"

Ying Qi laughed and said, "Xiao Jiu insisted that Lin Wannian had ordered her to stab the eldest prince a long time ago, threatening her with her grandfather, and Concubine Lin also forced her to do so."

"After saying that, he banged his head against a pillar to prove his innocence!"

"When she hit the pillar, she bit the drug that caused her to fake death and died quickly. The imperial physician couldn't diagnose anything, so there was absolutely no problem."

Another shadow guard laughed beside her and said, "There's no way Lin Wannian can clear her name now. Even if Concubine Lin and Minister Lin don't die, they won't help her anymore."

Lu Huaiyang smiled, a rare smile on his face. "Well done, you all will get rewards."

Lu Huaiyang glanced behind him and saw that Ye Nanyue didn't move. He thought, if she knew, she would definitely be very happy.

"The First and Second Princes wanted to join forces, but I'm afraid they won't be able to do that anymore!"

Ying Qi was in a very good mood: "Xiao Jiu is really amazing. He even destroyed the eldest prince's life force. From now on, he has completely lost the capital to compete."

Lu Huaiyang also found it funny: "How is the injury?"

"The imperial physician examined him. His life is saved, but his vital organs are gone. He will be useless in the future!" Ying Qi laughed and said, "Xiao Jiu is really amazing! He has done a great service."

Lu Huaiyang nodded: "Yes, she takes credit for the first achievement."

This happened because Lin Wannian gave them such a good opportunity.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have progressed so smoothly!

"Concubine Lin has been stripped of her position and is now a nameless person, locked up in the yard." Ying Qi said proudly, seeming to be particularly relieved.

"Where's Lin Wannian?" Lu Huaiyang asked, "What about my good second brother?"

Ying Qi choked and said, "The Second Prince saved the person, but Lin Wannian put all the blame on Concubine Lin, saying that she was deliberately seeking revenge after losing her child and was filled with resentment."

"There's no evidence for this kind of thing. Concubine Lin sent people to look for Boss, Xiaojiu, and the others, so...it's hard to explain."

"The Second Prince had a strong guarantee. It was probably Lin Wannian who gave him the blueprints, or maybe Lin Wannian thought she could get something else out of Miss Jiang."

Lu Huaiyang nodded, not surprised.

I knew long ago that Lin Wannian and the Second Prince would not be implicated too seriously.

Lin Wannian knows Jiang Liuli's abilities... She must know something else and have a backup plan.

I just don't know what they are going to do next.

Lu Huaiyang waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's okay. Just take it one step at a time."

"Yes." Yingqi glanced inside the room, then smiled at Lu Huaiyang: "Master, please take a rest. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."

Lu Huaiyang glanced at Ying Qi and said, "You're talking too much."

Having said that, he turned and went back to the room.

When they returned to the room, Ye Nanyue was still sleeping soundly and was not awakened by them at all.

Lu Huaiyang quietly lay down beside her.

The next day.

After Ye Nanyue woke up, she was having breakfast in the room and heard Ying Qi vividly describe what happened last night.

However, Ying Qi skipped the part about Jiang Liuli and did not mention the identities of Xiao Jiu and Ying Yi.

Ye Nanyue looked curious and listened with great interest while eating.

When Ying Qi had almost finished speaking, Ye Nanyue looked outside and saw that Lu Huaiyang and Ping An had gotten up early, and the father and son were practicing martial arts in the yard.

Ye Nanyan lowered her voice and asked, "Is the eldest prince crippled?"

Ying Qi knew that his wife was curious, but he didn't expect that she was curious about this.

He immediately swallowed his saliva and nodded: "It's useless."

Ye Nanyan nodded, ate a crystal shrimp dumpling, and couldn't help asking, "Um...was this arranged by your master?"

"How do you know?" Ying Qi blurted out without thinking.

Then he looked like he had spoken out of turn and quickly covered his mouth.

Ye Nanyan nodded in understanding: "As expected of the male lead, he's ruthless when he strikes!"

Her voice was so low that Ying Qi couldn't hear her words clearly: "Princess, what are you talking about?"

Ye Nanyan shook her head: "It's nothing, don't worry, I won't tell your master."

Ying Qi was about to ask again when Lu Huaiyang and Ping An walked in.

There was still some sweat on the tip of Ping'an's nose, so Aunt Guihua immediately arranged for someone to help Ping'an wash and change his clothes.

Lu Huaiyang sat down next to Ye Nanyan, glanced at Ying Qi, and asked Ye Nanyan: "What are you talking about? You look so happy."

Ye Nanyan smiled at Lu Huaiyang and said, "Nothing, aren't you going out to work today?"

Lu Huaiyang said to Ying Qi, "You go out first."

Ying Qi didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately turned around and left.

Lu Huaiyang then reached out and grabbed Ye Nanyue's hand: "I have something to tell you."

"What's wrong?" Seeing how serious and solemn he was, Ye Nanyue was a little curious for a moment.

Why does it look like he wants to take a concubine?

Considering that they have been in Beijing for quite some time, it’s not like Lu Huaiyang has really taken a fancy to anyone, right?

A hint of unhappiness flashed through Ye Nanyue's heart, but it quickly disappeared!

She was just doing her job and couldn't get emotional.

Ye Nanyue secretly warned herself in her heart.

"I... brought back a woman yesterday and placed her in the guest house outside." Lu Huaiyang looked at Ye Nanyue and said seriously.

"Ah? You really want to take a concubine?"

Ye Nanyan couldn't help but blurt out: "Just brought her back like this, is she a concubine?"
