Yun Jinnian and Han Tianci looked at each other in dismay. Han Tianci didn’t understand, but Yun Jinnian realized why these beautiful maids appeared, and each one was dressed very beautifully, with an exquisite fragrance on them.
At this, Yun Jinnian just gave a faint smile, thinking to himself that these gentlemen really had extraordinary luck with ladies.
Han Tianci took a few more glances and tugged at Yun Jinnian.
Yun Jinnian shook his head slightly at him, making Han Tianci break into a mischievous smile.
The young Han Tianci had never even considered the possibility that Chu Yu would take a liking to his sister, so faced with these beauties, he couldn’t help but smile mischievously.
The maids, however, were still very respectful towards Yun Jinnian and Han Tianci.
When Prince Yanjun, Chu Yu, and Yuwen Ya entered, the color rose in the maids’ cheeks, and they immediately went to greet them, "This servant..."
Before the words could leave their lips, Chu Yu coldly commanded, scaring the beauties pale, even Yun Jinnian startled, looking at Chu Yu, puzzled.
Chu Yu saw that Yun Jinnian showed no sign of jealousy, which made him feel bitterly uncomfortable inside.
He kept telling himself that Yun Jinnian was only twelve this year, did not understand love and should be understood, but still felt very upset deep down.
Yuwen Ya felt that Chu Yu was making a mountain out of a molehill, but considering Chu Yu’s feelings, Yuwen Ya could only say gently, "You can leave, we don’t need your service here!"
"Yes!" The maids hurriedly responded and quickly left.
Chu Yu then coldly said, "Let’s eat!"
Yun Jinnian quickly pulled Han Tianci to sit down, and during the meal, she picked out several dishes for Han Tianci but didn’t say a word to Chu Yu, making him feel extremely aggrieved.
After the meal, Yun Jinnian took Prince Yanjun’s pulse, and after seeing that Prince Yanjun was unharmed, she pulled Han Tianci away in a rush.
Chu Yu stood there with his mouth agape, stunned.
Prince Yanjun smiled gently, his lips curving, while Yuwen Ya let out a laugh.
Chu Yu glared at Yuwen Ya, "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, it’s just that I have things to do, so I’ll be leaving now!" Yuwen Ya said quickly and dashed off.
Chu Yu turned to Prince Yanjun, who touched his nose and also left the dining hall.
Chu Yu sat down on a stool, "Go, summon the City Lord and the Magistrate to see me!"
Luo’er immediately heeded the command, wanting to laugh but not daring to, after all, it was rare to see his master lose face.
The Magistrate and the City Lord hurried over.
From the moment they saw the maids’ pale faces, they knew things had gone wrong, that they had failed to please His Highness and had instead angered him. What to do now?
City Lord Fan and Magistrate Wang secretly cursed themselves, yet still quickly made their way to Chu Yu, "This official (this humble one) pays respects to His Highness!"
"Heh!" Chu Yu sneered coldly, his gaze fixing on them.
Without saying a word, just staring coldly, he had already terrified the two middle-aged men. Even though they were authoritative figures, in Chu Yu’s presence, they didn’t dare to breathe too loudly, let alone make a sound.
"Now you know fear? When you were thinking of bribing me with women, why didn’t you think it through? One of you is the City Lord and the other the Magistrate, both of you prominent figures. How come you don’t act accordingly?"
City Lord Fan and Magistrate Wang immediately knelt down, "This official deserves death, we beg for the Prince’s mercy!"
Chu Yu glanced at them. It was already hot, and in just a short moment, their clothes were soaked through with sweat. Waving his hand, he said, "Let this matter rest, and let’s never mention it again. With all this cunning you display, you’d better spend it thinking how to get Tortoiseshell City through this drought!"
