Chapter 34 Insider
When Ji Yunzhang returned home exhausted, the stubble on his face was so thick that the doorman almost failed to recognize that this bearded man was their handsome and elegant prince.

Yuhui Garden was quiet. The people who usually sat on the lounge chairs under the osmanthus tree were not there. Only Mo Lan was sitting in the corridor, sewing clothes.

Mo Lan suddenly saw a big man walking towards the main house with big strides, and she was so scared that the embroidery needle in her hand almost pricked her finger.

If the big man hadn't spoken, she would have screamed.

"What about the young lady?"

Mo Lan had never seen the prince like this before, and stood up with lingering fear, "Today is the day of the Xie family's eldest daughter's wedding. The young lady went back to the Xie family yesterday to be the lucky bride of the eldest daughter."

Ji Yunzhang snorted when he heard this, "She is quite free."

Mo Lan thought that the prince was dissatisfied with the young lady, so he pretended to be considerate and said, "Although the young lady's parents are not around, she is still married into the Xie family. It is understandable that she is the lucky wife of Miss Xie, but..."

She kept it a secret on purpose.

Ji Yunzhang stopped and looked at her sideways with a frown, "Just what."

Mo Lan grabbed the handkerchief and twisted it a few times as if in embarrassment, "I know that the blessed person should add gifts, so I want to bring good luck to the newlyweds."

"But the young lady brought back a whole box of gifts. It's too expensive..."

"Spend your money?"

"Ah?" Mo Lan didn't respond.

Ji Yunzhang had already turned his head away, and said in a cold voice, "You are quite nosy. Does the young lady allow it?"

Mo Lan's hand holding the handkerchief suddenly stopped, and the shy expression on her face froze instantly.

She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

Ji Yunzhang's last sentence before entering the room made the blood drain from Mo Lan's face and he collapsed on the spot.

"Yuhui Garden doesn't need unfaithful people. Go on your own."

Mo Lan reacted and quickly knelt to the door, "I have overstepped the bounds. Since this is my first offense, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Ji Yunzhang was a little disgusted and shouted, "Jixing, take her away. If you can't handle it well, you have to go with her."

Infidelity once, not a hundred times.

"Hey hey hey! Here it comes!"

Jixing, who was originally hiding away as a cat, immediately ran out from some direction.

When Rong Peilan came back with Rong Lingkuan, Ji Xing was pulling Mo Lan away.

Mo Lan pushed Ji Xing away as if she had seen a savior, and knelt down in front of her, "Madam, please save me, I will never do it again!"

Ji Xing knew his master's temper well, so he dared not give in and asked Mo Lan to plead for mercy.

"The prince has spoken. It is useless for you to ask the young lady for help. Don't even mention that you are suing the young lady."

Rong Peilan laughed out of anger, reported her, and even wanted to beg for her mercy.

Do you really think she is a face person? !

"You've completely forgotten what I said that day after just a few days? The first rule for a maid in Yuhui Garden is to keep her mouth shut."

After that, he said to Ji Xing, "Take it to Manager Wu and let him make the arrangements."

"Yes."

Ji Xing dragged the crying Mo Lan away gradually, attracting the attention of the maids along the way. When they saw that it was from Yuhui Garden, they lowered their heads silently, thinking that the maid in the master's yard had done something wrong and they should not interfere.

Rong Peilan walked to the front of the house and saw a needlework basket dropped on the ground, with a half-embroidered men's coat in it.

The fine stitches and the red-crowned crane feathers are lifelike. She touched the embroidery thread and couldn't help but sigh, "What a waste of such good craftsmanship."

Rong Lingkuan leaned over from the side and asked, "Sister, are you envious?"

Rong Peilan: "..."

Haitang, who was following behind the two of them, lowered her head and remained silent. Since the first day they entered Yuhui Garden, the young lady had only made one request, which was to keep her mouth shut.

But it is also a potential requirement, loyalty.

Only a loyal person will not spread rumors everywhere and become a person with clear eyes and good ears.

When Ji Yunzhang came out of the bathroom, he saw the brother and sister reading something at the desk.

"Are you back?" "Wow!"

"Ouch!!"

The sudden sound startled the brother and sister, and when they turned around they saw a bearded man which frightened them again.

Ji Yunzhang, "..."

He just traveled a lot and didn't have time to take care of himself, why would he react like this!
He pointed at Haitang who was standing at the door in annoyance, "You, you, what's your name, come and clean yourself up!"

Haitang immediately rolled up her sleeves and came in to wash the bearded man's face.

Rong Lingkuan came closer curiously. He was surrounded by pale-faced scholars, and this was the first time he had seen a big man with a curly beard like this.

“Brother-in-law, if you are in trouble, even a wanted order won’t work. I don’t know you at all!”

Ji Yunzhang, "..."

If he wasn't afraid that the razor in the maid's hand would disfigure him, he would have crushed the brat's fat face!

"Your Majesty."

Wei Chi, dressed in black, appeared silently at the door.

Haitang was so frightened that her hand trembled, leaving a small cut on Ji Yunzhang's chin.

Haitang didn't dare to breathe as she watched the tiny drops of blood oozing out of the small wound.

Ji Yunzhang didn't care about much and went out with Wei Chi with his beard half shaved.

Wei Chi looked at his master's appearance, standing there in a daze, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"What are you standing there for? Are you going to let the noble wait for you?"

Wei Chi shut his mouth obediently, and hurriedly followed the prince amid the stunned expressions of the siblings.

Haitang and the young lady looked at each other and could see the laughter in each other's eyes.

Ji Yunzhang was preoccupied with something and didn't notice the strange looks he received along the way.

When they arrived at the place, the nobleman seemed to be hesitant to speak when he saw him.

Ji Yunzhang bowed without knowing why, "Ji Yunzhang pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

There was a hidden smile in Meng Xuanyi's voice, "Is Yunzhang starting to act like a clown?"

Ji Yunzhang subconsciously touched his face, and his face instantly turned dark.

No one told him anything, so he just came out with such a horrible look on his face.

He looked sharply at Wei Chi behind him. Wei Chi, who was supposed to be behind him, had already hidden outside the door.

Meng Xuanyi half stroked the corner of his lips, and seeing Ji Yunzhang's expression, he really couldn't say anything.

"Eunuch Gao, clean Prince Ji's face first."

A pale-faced eunuch appeared outside the door and said in a shrill voice, "Prince Ji is here with my family."

When Ji Yunzhang returned after washing up, the prince was standing in front of the window with one hand behind his back and standing on the turntable with a jade bracelet in the other hand.

"His Royal Highness."

Meng Xuanyi turned around and walked behind the table, pointing at it and said, "Yunzhang, what do you think?"

There were two small notes on the table, from two spies.

One of them says "Prince Qing".

One of them says that Prince Qing is different.

Ji Yunzhang pointed at Wuyi's note and said, "No letter, no worries."

Carrier pigeons are easy to be shot, so they are usually used to send messages when there is something urgent. No one would risk being discovered to send a message when there is nothing to do.

The setting sun shone in through the window, and the words on the two notes were reflected in the light, shining golden.

Meng Xuanyi looked at Ji Yunzhang, and his narrow eyes slowly narrowed.

Ji Yunzhang also held his breath instantly, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the thief has sneaked in."
