Chapter 608: Greed and Vanity

It was a marriage not a feud. Be it the Yu Residence or the Xie Residence, they were both of great help to him. He had to get Eldest Miss Yu to be on his side so that she could be used by him without reservation.

Yin Huaizhang nodded repeatedly.

The Third Prince changed the topic and asked, “Did you find out clearly that

Eldest Miss Yu is really the number one beauty in the capital?”

It was always more convenient for him to gather information in the palace than outside.

Since Eldest Miss Yu had a good reputation, her appearance was definitely not bad. Now that he was about to see her, he felt an unbearable itch in her heart.

Yin Huaizhang had never seen Yu Youyao before, but his grandmother wanted him to marry Eldest Miss Yu.

He asked his mother about Yu Youyao.

However, she couldn’t tell the Third Prince about her.

Hence, he smiled and said, “I asked Mother. That Eldest Miss Yu is delicate and beautiful. Her figure is slender, and her skin is like fragrant cream and jade fat. She’s beautiful and elegant. Lu Mingyao is also inferior to her.”

The Third Prince’s eyes lit up. “Are you serious? I remember that Eldest Miss

Yu is only twelve or thirteen years old. She hasn’t even grown up…”

Yin Huaizhang was an old hand at romance. There was nothing he couldn’t do in the brothel.

He was also especially good at pretending. His family had no idea that he was fooling around outside. “Inner beauty is what matters. A real inexperienced beauty is already like a flower bud at the age of twelve or thirteen…”

As he spoke, he leaned closer to the Third Prince’s ear and lowered his voice.

The Third Prince chuckled when he heard this.

With that, Yin Huaizhang broke off a branch of crepe myrtle flowers. This branch was about to bloom. “Third Prince, do you think the crepe myrtle flowers are beautiful?”

Although the crepe myrtle flowers had not bloomed fully, they were still beautiful. The Third Prince smiled. “Of course they’re beautiful.”

Yin Huaizhang smiled. “That Eldest Miss Yu is at the same age as these flower buds. When she enters the Third Prince’s palace, the Third Prince will take good care of her and water her well. She will be able to bloom into a beautiful woman.”

They were both men and had long understood the matters between men and women. How could they not understand the deeper meaning behind these words?

The Third Prince couldn’t wait to see this legendary Eldest Miss Yu.

At the thought of this, the Third Prince changed the topic and asked, “What time is it? When will Eldest Miss Yu come?

Yin Huaizhang smiled. “Third Prince, don’t be anxious. My fifth sister’s maidservant has already sent a letter previously. Fifth Sister has already taken Eldest Miss Yu to the crepe myrtle garden. In order to avoid Eldest Miss Yu’s suspicion, we definitely have to look at the scenery and chat about the daily life on the way. We’ll have to delay for a while.”

The Third Prince frowned. “This Fifth Sister of yours…”

Yin Huaizhang immediately said, “Third Prince, don’t worry. My fifth sister has a deep relationship with you since she accidentally met you. I told her that as she can lure Eldest Miss Yu to crepe myrtle garden, I’ll help her create a chance to meet you. She naturally won’t miss this opportunity. This matter will definitely be done well.”

Yin Jinwei was brainless and a vain fool. She thought he had taken a fancy to Eldest Miss Yu and that was why he asked her to lure her to crepe myrtle garden.

Now that the Duke Rong’s Residence had regained its power, Yin Jinwei, the daughter of a concubine, was flattered by those idle relatives who did not have a title. Her mind was blank. She was not afraid of a little concubine’s daughter scheming against the legitimate daughter of an official.

She was just the daughter of a concubine. She wasn’t even qualified to be the Third Prince’s concubine, but she actually dared to covet the Third Prince. She was really trying to punch above her weight.

In the palace, the Third Prince had seen many women like Fifth Miss Yin, so he was a little disdainful of her. He snorted coldly. “Go and investigate. If Eldest Miss Yu is here, hurry over and report it.”

Seeing that the Third Prince and Yin Huaizhang had walked far away, Chun

Xiao quietly left the crepe myrtle garden.

Yu Youyao was expressionless as she listened to Chun Xiao report the information she had obtained.

The Duke Rong’s Residence had done everything they could to scheme for her to meet a man in private.

This man was none other than the Third Prince of the current dynasty.

Once his scheme succeeded, her reputation would be damaged, and the Yu Residence would be in the Third Prince’s hands. She could only marry into the Third Prince’s palace as a secondary consort.

Yin Jinwei took the risk and became a guide because she wanted to cozy up to the Third Prince.

Madam Luo might have known about this, but she had deliberately indulged the daughter of a concubine and even created an opportunity to get rid of the favored concubine and her daughter who were threatening her. What about the Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence?

What was her goal?

The entire Duke Rong’s Residence was filled with dirty schemes. Even Imperial Concubine Xu and the Third Prince were involved. It was really disgusting.

Xia Tao was already stunned. She covered her mouth, afraid that she would scream.

However, Yu Youyao’s expression was calm, as if she wasn’t the one being schemed against by the Duke Rongs Residence.

After Chun Xiao finished reporting, Yu Youyao asked calmly, “In that case, there’s only the Third Prince and Yin Huaizhang left now?

Young Miss was calm and indifferent. She looked very much like Young Master Zhou. She was like the calm before the storm that made people panic for no reason.

Chun Xiao glanced at her young miss carefully. “The Third Prince has brought his guards, but they’re all guarding the various doors of the crepe myrtle garden.”

There were four gates. Other than this one, the other three were guarded by guards. This was also to facilitate the Third Prince’s secret meeting.

Yu Youyao lowered her eyes and pondered.

Chun Xiao wanted to say something but hesitated. She opened her mouth but stopped.

Yu Youyao glanced at her. “If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t hesitate.”

Chun Xiao asked softly, “The Duke Rong’s Residence and the Third Prince schemed against Young Miss’s reputation together. Young Miss, aren’t you angry?

“How can I not be angry? Don’t you see that I am burning with anger? I’m so anxious that I’m racking my brains to think of how to return the favor. I’ll return the favor to the Duke Rong’s Residence.” At this point, Yu Youyao gritted her teeth and sneered. “It’s never too early to take revenge! If I don’t take revenge on the spot, do I have to stay for the night?”

It seemed that Young Miss was really angry.

Chun Xiao shrank her neck. On such a hot day, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Xia Tao hurriedly lowered her head and stared at the tips of her toes, looking down.

Eldest Miss had a good personality and a good temper. She was rarely angry. Everyone in the residence said that Eldest Miss was benevolent, but no one dared to be disrespectful to her.

Just like Young Master Zhou, Eldest Miss rarely got angry.

However, just because she didn’t look angry didn’t mean that she wouldn’t be angry on the inside.

Yu Youyao was so angry that even her voice was hoarse.. “Who does he think he is? Does he really think he’s someone? Does he think he can scheme against anyone he wants?”
