C607 A newly entered maidservant from King Lu's Mansion

Every household began to work normally and every store opened up for business. At the beginning of the new year, there was a festive atmosphere.

Within the Prince Lu's Mansion, a new batch of rough servants had entered. This was the custom for every single clan and palace to enter this year, so the Prince Lu's Mansion was naturally no exception.

The matter of the Duke Palaces recruiting had always been the responsibility of the butler and the manager's mother.

When he returned from the imperial court, he just happened to meet that group of servants entering the manor. He was in no mood to care about these things, so he directly walked towards the Jade Glow Courtyard. This had already become a habit of his.

It was as if there was a girl waiting for him every day.

He had only taken a few steps when a figure flashed past his line of sight. His steps abruptly halted as he looked towards the group of new servants.

That familiar figure in the crowd caused his expression to tremble, and he abruptly shouted at them, "Halt!"

The manager who was in charge of arranging the servants as well as the new servants were all shocked by Yan Jue's shout.

Seeing that it was Yan Jue, the steward immediately called for the servants to bow to Yan Jue, "Quick, quick, kneel down to the Prince."

With that, he took the initiative to kneel in front of Yan Jue, "This servant greets Your Highness."

Hearing the steward call him Master, everyone was at a loss of what to do. They kneeled down in front of Yan Jue and greeted him, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Yan Jue did not bother with them, and walked straight in front of the woman in coarse clothes and a veil on her face. Without saying a word, he extended his hand to pull that woman's veil.

The lady was shocked by Yan Jue's actions. Her knees that were kneeling moved backwards, turning her head to the side, and kowtowed to Yan Jue again and again in fear.

Her eyes that were not covered by the veil revealed misery and fear. She looked at Yan Jue and did not say a word.

That one look made Yan Jue's heart ache, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at her deeply, "Why don't you take off your veil?"

She did not say a word, but continued to kowtow towards Yan Jue while shaking his head non-stop.

Seeing that, the mother thought Yan Jue was angry at the girl for being unreasonable, so why did she move her knees and kneel in front of Yan Jue to kowtow and beg for forgiveness?

"Prince, please calm your anger. Prince, please calm your anger, this girl can't speak and has scars on her face, this old servant saw that she was very pitiful, so I wanted to invite her to the prince's mansion to do some chores and give her some food. I didn't expect that I would run into her here, so please forgive me."

The manager's mother was a kind person. He thought that ifhe recruited a crude girl, she wouldn't run into the prince, but he didn't expect that he would be run into by the prince.

The girl didn't say a word, she only kowtowed to Yan Jue. Every time she kowtowed, Yan Jue's heart would hurt a lot.

He looked at her slender figure, thought about the girl that he had longed for day and night, and missed her after midnight. He subconsciously called out in a low voice, "Xiao Tian Xin."

The woman's body froze for half a second without any reaction.

Hearing Yan Jue's low mutter, mother was stunned for a moment, then looked at the little girl beside his. His figure was similar to that of Princess Tian Xin.

The Duke was afraid that Princess Tian Xin might really be confused. How could this little girl, who could not speak and had an ugly face, be Princess Tian Xin?

"mute sister, quickly beg for forgiveness."

The name "mute sister" made Yan Jue feel as if there was a thorn in his heart, making him in extreme pain.

The woman known as mute sister kowtowed towards Yan Jue again, and on her forehead, a blinding blood-red color appeared, but she didn't dare stop.

"Enough!"

Yan Jue growled, his eyes turning red as he turned to the side, "There's no need to knock anymore."

The mother in charge even kneeled in front of Yan Jue and begged for forgiveness, "Your Highness, it is all this old servant's fault, this old servant will let her go now."

"No need! Leave her. "

Yan Jue's gaze swept across mute sister's face and said to everyone present, "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, your highness. Thank you, your highness."

The manager's mother pulled mute sister and kowtowed to Yan Jue a few times.

Yan Jue stared at mute sister's face for a long time, after that, he quietly retracted his gaze, waved his hand, and rubbed his temples that were swelling up, "Go down."

He turned around and left. His thin and clear back was filled with loneliness that others couldn't feel as they were. The slowly rising sun elongated his thin and long back, causing one's heart to ache for him.

mute sister followed the group of servants and left with the mother manager. After walking a few steps, her gaze turned to look at Yan Jue's back as two lines of tears quietly rolled down her face.

King Wei Palace —

"Your Highness, that day, you let your subordinate probe Mo Rong Tian. From the looks of it, Mo Rong Tian truly values Tutor Yun's daughter a lot, why do you think that it is so?"

Mo Rong Tian hated Yun Yuanbo so much, so how could he have shown mercy to his daughter, and even risked his life to protect her?

Seeing Wei Shao squinting his eyes and not uttering a word, he hesitated for a moment, before saying his own thoughts, "My prince, do you think that Mo Rong Tian has taken a fancy to Yun Jiao Rong?"

Wei Shao did not answer, but suddenly shook his head, "No! This King thought of another possibility. "

"Your Highness is saying …"

"Yun Jiao Rong might very well be the daughter of the Kaiser from the previous dynasty. This king remembers that the day of the siege, Yun Yuanbo brought out a baby from the palace, and at that time, the person in charge of attacking the city was Meng Chang Xiong. This king does not know how Yun Yuanbo came to an understanding with Meng Chang Xiong and allowed him to take the baby away, but I suspect that the baby was Yun Jiao Rong."

"If it's really like that, then it makes sense, Yun Jiao Rong was the daughter of the previous dynasty's Kaiser, and was brought out of the palace by Yun Yuanbo. After Yun Yuanbo died, Mo Rong Tian wanted to bring Yun Jiao Rong back to Shen Ji Hall."

Wei Shao suddenly thought of something, and laughed out loud, his face carrying a look of ridicule, "Kaiser is very fond of Yun Jiao Rong, they planned to use Yun Jiao Rong to kill Kaiser, right?"

Saying that, Wei Shao's face revealed a sinister smile, "That was a good idea. If Yun Jiao Rong is willing to make a move against Yan Shuo, the probability of success is not small at all."

"Then Your Highness, we … Should we add fuel to the fire for Yun Jiao Rong to know of her own identity? If she kills the Kaiser, it would be considered as her helping us out a lot. "

Wei Shao looked at his subordinate in admiration and nodded, "That is a good idea. However, for the time being, I will not rush it.

In order to be safe, Yan Yuan suggested that Yan Jue to take the examination as the host of this spring event.

However, Yan Jue had never come into contact with this kind of work, so it was hard to avoid the feeling that it might be a little difficult for him.

In the past, the people who were in charge of this kind of work were basically the few Scholars in the Han Lin Academy. But the current situation was special, and it was inconvenient for Yan Jue to ask them.

Although Shen Qian should not be involved in the Spring Test's cheating, Yan Jue did not trouble him too much in order to let him avoid the suspicion.
