Zhou Guoye instantly noticed the fleeting sharpness in Butler Wang's eyes. Her own eyes trembled, but she finally clasped her hands in a fist salute and said:

"Thank you for your trouble, Steward Wang. I'll head home now to discuss the matter of finding my younger sister with my father and mother. Farewell!"

With that, he turned around and quickly left.

Wang Ziyue's maid, seeing him leave like that, hurriedly stamped her foot, turned around, lifted her skirt, and ran away quickly.

Steward Wang clasped his hands in greeting to the young masters and ladies still standing in front of the Prime Minister's residence and said with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'll take my leave of absence!"

After saying that, he gave the gatekeeper a look, then turned and went back into the mansion.

The doorman understood and immediately followed him inside, quickly closing the door behind him.

"That Madam Wen, does she really have the guts to kidnap the young ladies of the Zhou and Wang families?"

Someone voiced their doubts.

"Shh~ If it doesn't concern you, just mind your own business."

Someone reminds me.

"However, with this suspicion, and having offended both the Zhou and Wang families, this Madam Wen will be in serious trouble, if not dead."

Some people joked about it.

Not far away, Yu Shuyan, who had been quietly listening to the commotion, unconsciously frowned, a look of worry flashing in her eyes:

I never expected that the Prime Minister's residence would be so shameless as to try to pin the blame on her.

That's true, I didn't expect that!

We need to think about how to deal with this.

"Divine Doctor Yuan, Divine Doctor Yuan~"

Jin Wanliang's voice brought Yu Shuyan back to her senses.

Jin Wanliang laughed and said:

"What's wrong with Doctor Yuan? You're so distracted! Tell me, what are you thinking about?"

Yu Shuyan calmed herself down and said calmly:

"What I'm thinking doesn't seem to need to be told to you."

Jin Wanliang was taken aback, but then he started laughing, fanning himself.

“Interesting. Doctor Yuan is indeed no ordinary person. Ordinary women, seeing a handsome and wealthy young man like me, would be happy for half a day, let alone me taking the initiative to talk to her. Even if I just glance at her, it would be enough to make her happy for half a day.”

"Why is it that the divine physician is so resistant to me? Or is it that..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Ziyu with a playful smile in his eyes before continuing:

"Or is it that Physician Yuan is too old and has no interest in us young men anymore?"

"Ten thousand taels of gold, you—"

Bai Ziyu had just spoken, intending to lightly rebuke Jin Wanliang.

Yu Shuyan, however, spoke calmly:

"I've always thought my eyesight was pretty good, but now I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with my eyes."

Jin Wanliang was stunned:

"Eyes? Problem?"

Looking at his puzzled and confused expression, Bai Ziyu couldn't help but smile.

Jin Wanliang noticed his smile and was even more puzzled, but her intuition told her that it was definitely not something nice. She rolled her eyes at Bai Ziyu.

"Stop acting like you're the smartest person in the world. Tell me, what does she mean by that?"

Bai Ziyu smiled slightly and said:

"If I weren't so blind, I would have seen the handsome young man you were talking about!"

In an instant, Jin Wanliang understood that Yu Shuyan was insulting him.

What upset him even more was that Bai Ziyu was already playing tricks on him, but now Yuan Niangzi had also managed to entangle him in a few words.

Enraged, he fanned himself rapidly with his fan and said hastily:

"Are you blind? I'm such a handsome guy right here, and you can't even see me? I think either you have a problem with your eyes, or you have a problem with your brain!"

Yu Shuyan looked at him calmly and said in a calm tone:

"Perhaps the young ladies of Lingjin City are all blind!"

Jin Wanliang was stunned again, his face turning ashen.

"What does this mean all of a sudden?!"

Yu Shuyan raised an eyebrow:

"Otherwise, why would everyone be so fixated on Young Master Bai when there's a handsome and wealthy young man like you right here?

Jin Wanliang blurted out in anger:

"Isn't that because he's Bai Ziyu? If he weren't here, wouldn't those young ladies be...?"

As he was speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong and took a deep breath:

"Why would I tell you all this? I think you should stop trying to be a miracle doctor; you'd be better off making a living with your silver tongue!"

Yu Shuyan, however, glanced at him lazily and chose to ignore him, turning to Bai Ziyu and saying:

"Young Master Bai, may I have a word with you in private?"

Jin Wanliang spoke first:

"No, of course not. What's wrong? You were so calm when those ladies were surrounding Ziyu. Were you just pretending?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's definitely an act. Now they're trying to get close to our Ziyu!"

"Hmph, they have ulterior motives. Our Ziyu will never agree to that."

Bai Ziyu shook his head helplessly:

"go away!"

Jin Wanliang became even more smug and continued:

"That's right, get out of here right now. Don't try to get close to Ziyu just because you saved her life. I'm telling you, I will never allow it, I will protect Ziyu!"

Bai Ziyu's voice rose a few decibels:

"I mean, you—get away from me!"

Jin Wanliang sensed something was amiss and turned around in surprise to look at Bai Ziyu. He saw Bai Ziyu staring at him with a determined expression.

In an instant, the gold turned a deep, bitter color, giving him the air of a wronged woman.

"Bai Ziyu, we've been brothers for so many years, how could you treat me like this for her sake? How could you... how could you... do this to me!"

As she spoke, she even pretended to raise her hand to wipe away non-existent tears, looking extremely mournful.

Bai Ziyu made no attempt to hide his disdain, saying:

"I remember you wanted that jade chessboard?"

Jin Wanliang's eyes lit up:

"That's a genuine antique, are you really willing to part with it?"

Bai Ziyu smiled slightly, as if to say:

what do you say!

Jin Wanliang smiled happily. As the son of the richest man in the Great Yong Dynasty, what kind of good things hadn't he seen? But that jade chessboard represented the spirit of a scholar.

That's exactly what these merchant families lack most.

He's been thinking about this for a long time.

However, no matter what methods he tried, Bai Ziyu refused to budge.

At this point, Bai Ziyu finally agreed, and he no longer had the mind to tease them. He quickly gave Bai Ziyu a meaningful smile:

"Alright, alright, I'm off right now. I'll be waiting for you in the carriage!"

Before turning around, he took one last deep look at Yu Shuyan, who stood calmly to the side.

Bai Ziyu shook his head helplessly, looked at Yu Shuyan, and said apologetically:

"Please don't take offense, that's just Wan Liang's personality."

Yu Shuyan, however, said directly:

"Great wisdom often appears as foolishness; the future of the Jin family business is promising!"

After saying that, without waiting for Bai Ziyu's slightly surprised reaction, he continued:

"Besides thanking you for what happened today, I also want to apologize to you!"
