Concubine Agent: My lord, stop pretending

Chapter 168 Competition, Ultimatum
"Master Yu is free." Ye Huan nodded, glanced at Ye Jing and Ye Lingxue who were already tired, and said, "Please ask Master Yu to arrange someone to take fourth brother and the princess to rest first."

Yu Xiaocheng nodded again and again, hurriedly greeted a middle-aged man, and introduced: "This is the master of the lower official, named Zhao Gong." After finishing speaking, he looked at Master Zhao and ordered, "Take King Jing and the princess there quickly. Rest in the backyard, don't neglect."

"Yes." Master Zhao nodded respectfully, and asked Ye Jing and Ye Lingxue, "My lord, princess, please follow the villain."

Ye Jing and Ye Lingxue followed.

Only Ye Huan, Chu Qingzhou and Yu Xiaocheng were left in the hall.As a landlord, Yu Xiaocheng naturally had to treat these distinguished guests well, after all, they were all important figures.

After Yu Xiaocheng arranged for people to serve tea, Ye Huan looked at Chu Qingzhou and asked, "Master Chu arrived in Yuzhou first, but he didn't know about the sinking of the official ship. Has there been any progress?"

Chu Qingzhou put down the teacup, looked at Ye Huan, and said lightly: "This case is just like Mr. Zheng said at the beginning. There are many doubts. In charge of the tribute of the silk and satin this time, it is the number one merchant family in the area, the Shen family. The family has been an imperial merchant since the previous dynasty, with a century-old reputation and noble family style. Today, the eldest son Shen Zhibi is in charge of the Shen family business. He is also a talented man. Unfortunately, his health has not been very good. Mo, take charge of the family business."

"I've heard about this too. Shen Zhimo was also on the official ship that day, and he was not spared." Ye Huan continued.

Chu Qingzhou nodded, and said: "From the current superficial evidence, it is true that the official ship had an accident and the whole ship sank." You can get useful information from him."

Ye Huan's mind was bright, so he naturally understood the hidden meaning of Chu Qingzhou's words, glanced at Yu Xiaocheng, and didn't say much.

"This matter is not urgent. The fifth prince is also exhausted. Why don't you go to rest and discuss it later." Chu Qingzhou stood up and said with a smile.

"Alright." Ye Huan stood up, cupped his fists towards Chu Qingzhou, and walked out of the living room.

Ye Jing and Ye Lingxue came to the backyard, Master Zhao led them to Dongyuan, pointed to a courtyard in the east, and said: "His Royal Highness King Jing and the Fifth Prince live in Tingyuxuan." Ye Lingxue pointed to a nearby courtyard, "Princess Lingxue's courtyard is in Guanmei Pavilion."

Ye Lingxue nodded, rubbed her shoulders and waist, and said exhaustedly: "Fourth brother, I'm so tired, my whole body is going to fall apart! I'm going to rest first, and you too!"

"Okay." Ye Jing nodded, "Go."

Ye Lingxue waved her hand and led the maid towards Guanmei Pavilion.

Master Zhao hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to lead Princess Lingxue or stay here to serve King Jing, he was at a loss for a while.

Ye Jing glanced at Master Zhao, turned around and walked towards Ting Yuxuan, Master Zhao hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly followed.

Ever since Princess Jing was not by Ye Jing's side, Yun Sang has been following around.Outside the house, Yun Sang stopped Master Zhao and said: "Master Zhao stay here, the prince doesn't like strangers entering his house."

Master Zhao paused his steps, his face froze for a moment, recalling the rumored evaluation of King Jing, he immediately understood: "Yes, that villain will go down first."

Yun Sang nodded, and after Master Zhao retreated, she walked into the room and saw that Ye Jing was already lying down, she stepped forward and asked, "My lord, what do you want to eat?"

"No." Ye Jing closed her eyes and waved her hands.

"Yes, the servant girl is right outside the door. If there is an order, the lord can just call the servant girl." After Yun Sang finished speaking, before Ye Jing could reply, she retreated softly.For some reason, since the concubine left, she felt that the prince seemed to have changed, but she couldn't remember what changed.

Ye Huan came to Ting Yuxuan, asked Yun Sang, and learned that Ye Jing had rested, so he went to his room.

The yard was quiet, and suddenly there was a sound of wind, and Ye Jing opened his eyes suddenly.

A figure appeared from the shadows, came to Ye Jing, knelt down and said, "Ah Er has seen the prince."

"Yeah." Ye Jing responded lightly, and looked at Ah Er, "Have you been by Wangfei's side all this time?"

"Yes, the subordinates have been secretly protecting the safety of the princess." Ah Er said, "The princess is now living in Zuimenglou. She is smart and wise, and has been safe and sound. But the subordinates got the news that the old bustard of Zuimenglou forced the princess to perform tonight."

Ye Jing's eyes changed, and she nodded lightly: "Understood. Is Ce Fengyun here?"

A'erdao: "The master of Pavilion Fengyun hurried to Yuzhou after releasing Hua Shizi's Feng Lisan. At this time, he should be fifty miles away, and he can reach the city in less than half an hour."

"Tell Ce Fengyun that I'm going to Zuimenglou tonight and let him arrange it." Ye Jing said.

Ah Er respectfully replied: "Yes!" After saying that, he disappeared without a trace.

The night is vast, and the moonlight is like snow, mottled down.

Sister Lu issued an ultimatum, and Su Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and pray secretly that he would not come up with some too difficult poems.

Originally, she thought that the verses in her mind would be useful, but she didn't expect that it was an on-the-spot poem. Those ancient poems would be useless, right?
Tonight, Su Yan ranked first.She was wearing a light blue dress with jingle bells, and she was slim and graceful. After some dressing up, she was so beautiful. She didn't need too many accessories, but it brought out the beauty. She has a somewhat elegant and aloof appearance.

It was still the same hall as before, with ten screens, and Su Yan stood behind the screen painted with Phalaenopsis.

Sister Lu glanced at the girls, then smiled and said to the people outside: "Young masters, the girls tonight are all newcomers to Zuimenglou. They have never shown their faces before, so don't miss them!"

After the words fell, a man said: "Sister Lu, you say that every time, we don't believe it!"

"Yes, tonight we asked to see the girl's appearance!" Another man echoed.

Sister Lu took a look at the two of them, and smiled coquettishly: "The rules of Zuimenglou cannot be broken. How about this, if you are not satisfied with their appearance at that time, how about sending them back to Sister Lu?"

"Where's the money?" the man asked again.

Sister Lu smiled generously and said, "Naturally, the original price will be refunded."

"Sister Lu is really straightforward, let's do what Sister Lu said, do you agree?" the man asked the others.

"Agree!" Everyone said.

Sister Lu took a step forward and glanced at the two separate compartments in the living room. There were people she couldn't afford to mess with sitting inside. Seeing that the two of them had no objections, she said, "In that case, let's start Bar!"

Su Yan stood beside the screen, in order to see the situation outside, she quietly cut a hole in the screen.There were about a dozen men sitting outside, and beside these men, there were two screens, and there seemed to be people sitting behind the screens.
