Until then, someone had been watching the scant movements. On this day, he had heard from the scouts that he had almost been killed. He did not know if it was out of curiosity or out of longing, but he had brought a special gift to visit the manor.
In the parlour of the Prime Minister's Residence, since government affairs were rarely handled outside the Palace, it made sense that the Sixth Prince's consort, who was personally appointed by Imperial Concubine Liu, would show up to entertain her.
It wasn't surprising that Rong Gan came to visit. His every move was probably within his control. Naturally, he could not hide the matter of the fire at Free Cloud Garden from his ears.
However, she didn't expect that they would arrive so quickly.
"Your servant's daughter greets the Sixth Prince."
She knelt down and kowtowed, her voice clear and cold, unlike the other girls in the capital. When they saw her, they would look at her with a coquettish and bashful expression.
Rong Qian's eyebrows twitched. The woman's attitude towards him was still as bland as before. There was not a single trace of passion in her. Even when this prince personally visited her, she was not the least bit touched. Could it be that she did not care about him at all?
"Yun'er, this is not the palace, so there is no need for you to pay your respects." He stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a haughty aura. "I heard that someone set fire to Free Cloud Garden. Are you going to be injured?"
A sneer appeared on Yu Yu's lips. She already knew there was someone setting fire to the fire, so she naturally knew the whole story. Since she was the one asking, she couldn't think of any other reason besides testing it out.
She stood up and lowered her eyes to her sleeves, "I thank the Sixth Prince for his concern. This subject is fine. "
"Have you found the mastermind behind the flames?" As soon as he saw that Gu Ruoyun didn't put him in her eyes at all, the corner of his mouth curled into a playful smile.
What Zhao Yuanzhi and her mother had done to her after returning to the residence was naturally related to them. Did this woman not know that the easiest way to deal with her was to rely on him?
"The person who set the fire has been found and the mastermind has been executed." Her eyes darkened slightly. She didn't believe he would be so kind as to care about her life.
Even if she was that kind, she didn't need it.
"These evil slaves are really vicious!" His voice suddenly turned cold, causing the young maidservants in the main hall to tremble in fear.
None of the residences in the various manors were clean, so he was clear on this point.
However, he was still the first to resist like this.
Then, suddenly, he heard footsteps at the door, and he gave her a meaningful look.
As he smiled faintly, his eyes looked towards the outside of the main hall. Someone had arrived.
"Fortunately, this subject's fate was great. On the night of the crime, I went to the rear garden to admire the moon on a whim, and only then was I able to escape death." Ye Zichen raised the corner of his mouth and spoke casually.
"It's good that you're safe and sound. After mufei received the news, she was quite yearning as well, and ordered me to immediately come to the residence to see you. As he spoke, his deep eyes shone with a faint light, giving off a dazzling luster.
"I've made the Imperial Concubine and the Sixth Prince worry. This subject is truly terrified."
Thus, their conversation came to a halt. At this time, Qi walked in leisurely, and after seeing someone in the main hall, she pretended to be surprised and bow to him.
"Please forgive me for not welcoming the Sixth Prince when he arrived."
In fact, as soon as he entered the gate of the Prime Minister's Estate, someone went to report to Qi.
Although Imperial Concubine Liu had promised to ask the Emperor to follow Rong Qian and Yu Yu for marriage, Qi had never given up. As long as she didn't become the Sixth Prince's consort, she still had hope.
When she heard that Rong Gan had entered the Wutong Courtyard, she scolded him silently in her heart. He had said that he would give her the marriage with the Sixth Prince, and he had even intentionally attracted the Sixth Prince's attention.
It was better than the tail of the eye. It was also better than the eyes and eyes of Qi Qi and Mrs Zhao. They obviously came here on purpose to show off in front of Rong Qian.
Her gaze immediately fell on Rong Qian. She saw that he didn't even look at Qi Qian, but only replied with a faint "En".
A look of grievance appeared on Yuqi's face.
Just as he entered the door, he could faintly hear the conversation between the Sixth Prince and this little bitch.
The Sixth Prince's tone was full of concern for the little slut, but it was ice-cold towards himself. How could she not be as shameless as that little slut?
"This subject's daughter is also here to visit elder sister. Matchmaker's Garden was on fire, and elder sister has been startled." Qi Yu pretended to be concerned and smiled at Yu Yu.
Since it was a visit, where was the reason not to visit in the residence but to visit in the place where he received guests? Fewer than these little tricks that were less than Qi naturally appeared in his mind. "Let my sister worry."
"It's good that big sister is fine. I heard that something happened in big sister's room, I wonder how worried little sister is." Qi walked over exaggeratedly and tried to pull her hand.
A wave of disgust rose in Yu Yu's heart, and without leaving a trace, she lifted her hand to brush away the hair on her temples, avoiding Qi Qi's movements. She then lowered her eyes and smiled, saying, "Thank you for your concern, sister. "If there is a lotus flower in the lotus pond, it will definitely be beneficial to your body. However, the maids in my courtyard are all clumsy. Could you trouble little sister …"
As soon as she felt it, she immediately felt displeased. Wasn't he obviously using himself as a servant?
Just as she was about to scowl, her cold, dry voice rang out.
"I've long heard of the deep affection between the sisters in the house, especially the second young miss. Since the eldest young miss has asked, the second young miss definitely won't refuse, right?"
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your praise. My daughter and sister's relationship is indeed very good. My daughter will go to the lotus pond and pick some of the most beautiful lotus flowers to make Sister happy."
As he said that, he lifted his head to take a quick look at Rong Gan before leaving with quick steps.
After Qi left, she glanced at the maidservants in the room and then looked back at Qing Shui.
Yu Yu frowned. Did he have something to say to her? However, there were some things that the two of them needed to talk about alone.
Thus, she dismissed the maidservants.
"The sixth day of October, the tenth day of the tenth month of the eighth month, these are the auspicious days chosen by mufei." With a haughty expression, there was an irrefutable dignity in his eyes.
After a moment of doubt, she realized that the two days he was talking about must be the lucky days for her and him to get married.
So fast?
"Why are you so anxious?" She looked into Rong Qian's eyes, and there was a trace of curiosity mixed in with it.
"There must have been something fishy about the death of the Xie Clan that year. However, it's still very difficult for you to handle it all by yourself. If you marry into the Palace, then nothing will be a problem. "
Yu Yu's heart skipped a beat. How could he know so much?
However, he was so confident that he could help her find out what had happened back then.
"This has always been the business of this subject's daughter, so there's no need to trouble Sixth Prince." Yu Yu lowered his eyes and replied softly, but he still wore a resolute expression on his face.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the door.
