I think my luck is turning around.

What do you think of the rumors circulating nowadays?

Inside the Ji residence, in the pavilion by the water, a variety of dishes were laid out on the stone table, and the broth in the pot was still bubbling. Such a hot pot was truly delightful. An Ge looked at it happily, and the dipping sauce in her hand was specially made.

How can we tell?

Even in a news-heavy place like Lesifang, the news is spreading. It seems this person is really eager to let everyone know that Li Yu and Ming Kang are a couple, a couple in love.

Once this idea takes root in the public's mind, things he does afterward won't be so difficult.

Ji Xia's smile had vanished, replaced by a serious expression. He felt this was outrageous—this was an independent person! How could they do this! Destroying someone, denying them even the right to speak!

"That Mingtuo is going too far!"

"Did you find out?"

"Do you know who it is?"

An Ge remained silent on the matter. In fact, the moment she heard the rumors start spreading, An Ge had already asked Mu An about it. Mu An directly stated that there was nothing to hide and that such things were truly despicable.

"The child you raised is so unscrupulous?"

"That's not entirely unacceptable; using any means necessary to achieve one's goals is also a way to get what one wants. But Mingtuo's current methods are a bit too reckless, disregarding costs."

An Ge shook her head, looking at Ji Xia with a puzzled expression. Why did she think of the Crown Prince? Even if the Crown Prince had the idea of ​​sending Li Yu to Ming Kang's bed, how could he be so confused when it came to matters of state?

“You’re teaching other people besides Mingtuo.”

"emperor?"

The two words that Ji Xia slowly uttered made An Ge spit out the meat she had just put in her mouth.

"Your thinking is too far-fetched! It was Mingkang's mother who did it."

"That Yi Yunhan? I didn't teach her!"

"You taught me."

"How could I not remember teaching her? I have never taught her. In this country of Rui, all the students I have taught are recorded in terms of their place of origin and whereabouts. There has never been a person named Yi Yunhan!"

An Ge continued eating the piece of meat, her expression one of contentment and comfort. Then she picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it in her bowl, eating it slowly.

"Don't you have any students who were your students before, but then disappeared for various reasons?"

"Oh, is that so? Apart from members of the royal family, one or two of the others appear every few years."

You mean, this Yi Yunhan was my student before, but later, due to family issues, she changed her name and even altered her appearance?

"That's very possible."

An Ge ate her vegetables, inwardly cursing, "Mu An didn't tell me anything about what happened inside, I have to investigate myself. Fine, I'll just ask Ji Xia to investigate." Making good use of the resources around me is a waste.

Ji Xia remained silent from then on, searching his mind for a student who matched Yi Yunhan's identity. Yi Yunhan was the legitimate daughter of the Yi family who married into the royal family. She had always lived in the Yi family and had never appeared before her marriage. It was not easy to judge such a legitimate daughter of the Yi family.

"There's been no news from the Yi family, and there are no rumors of any drastic change in their personalities."

Ji Xia hadn't investigated the Yi family thoroughly. The Yi family was the most mysterious family among the aristocratic families of Dujing. Although there were instances of intermarriage with other aristocratic families, only the Yi family of Dujing had such a history. The main members of the family lived in seclusion.

"Haven't you investigated the Yi family?"

Ji Xia was confused. What was there to investigate about the Yi family? Ji Xia looked suspiciously at An Ge, who was still eating. However, the Yi family was indeed a bit mysterious, and it was indeed worth investigating quietly.
