390 Surrounded by Many Vengeful Spirits
Yan Nuo reminded him, “Go and ask Master who is backing Ding Nuo Academy?”
“No!” Yan Qin immediately rejected it.
He was the leader of the Secret Network. He was supposed to organize all the information about Daqing Kingdom and the surrounding countries and deliver it respectfully to his master.
Yet, Yan Nuo asked him to ask their master about Ding Nuo Academy?
Would he still be the leader of the Secret Network? Qian Jiyun could replace him with someone else!
“What terrible idea is this?”
“Then what do you think we should do?” Yan Nuo asked.
Yan Qin looked up again and gritted his teeth when he saw the words “Ding Nuo Academy” partially covered by the thatch.
He was confident he could find out who was backing Ding Nuo Academy through the Secret Network. He would definitely be able to find out within a day.
“Then take your time investigating.” Yan Nuo sighed and patted Yan Qin’s shoulder before leaving.
He was also a busy person. He could not waste his time watching a good show.
In the Grand Preceptor Residence in the east of the capital…
Wenlan Courtyard was a small courtyard where the eldest daughter of the Grand Preceptor, Yu Yan’er, lived. It had been renovated a few years ago and had many flowers and plants. It also raised some cute little white rabbits.
There was a small bridge with water flowing underneath, and colorful flowers bloomed on a swing. Yu Yan’er’s best friends were always envious of them.
Yu Yan’er liked to wear red clothes. She stood on the bridge with a snow-white rabbit in her arms and spoke coldly to the person behind her.
“Yan’er, stop fooling around. Your father came to tell me personally. You must go.”
Behind her, a beautiful woman spoke gently with a doting expression, feeling a little helpless.
“I have no choice. If we don’t do what your father says, I’m afraid our lives will be difficult. You should listen to me and go.”
Upon listening to Madam Yu’s words, Yu Yan’er gritted her teeth and lowered her head.
I am the one who decides whether or not my life is good. Did I rely on my father’s connections all these years to build my reputation in the capital?
She believed she could still live a good life after leaving the Grand Preceptor Residence.
Life would only be slightly worse than it was now, but did she care? Not at all!
It was her mother, not she, who was concerned about living in poor conditions.
“Mother, Prince Zhan Yun exudes a ferocious aura. Rumor has it that he is surrounded by many vengeful spirits, day and night. Can you really bear allowing your daughter to interact with someone ?”
Her father didn’t just want her to interact with Qian Jiyun. He wanted her sent to his residence, even if it meant becoming his slave!
I’m the most talented woman in the capital. Am I going to be reduced to a pawn in my father’s hands?
“What can I do? This is your father’s idea.” Madam Yu sighed softly, sounding even more helpless.
She had the misfortune of injuring her body after giving birth to one daughter. The Grand Preceptor had countless concubines and several sons of these concubines in the residence.
Madam Yu, the legal wife, no longer had the right to be the mistress of the residence. Instead, it was given to Concubine Yao solely because she had given birth to three sons for the Grand Preceptor!
