This time around, it won’t be so easy for that guy from the Wu family to get out of the Ministry of Justice’s jail.
As luck would have it, she is currently living in the royal hunting grounds, even if the Empress Dowager wants to plead with the Emperor for her grandnephew, he can easily shift the blame onto her.
Let her, that old woman, come find her in the royal hunting ground.
"Hey, Miss Lin, why are you only thanking Auntie? I also contributed to this matter." Lying on the bed, the Second Prince, upon hearing their conversation, voiced his dissatisfaction with a ’wah wah’ cry.
"If I hadn’t received the news and informed Auntie, would that Wu scoundrel have been locked up in jail? This is all thanks to me. I even sent someone to inform your Zeng Yulang. Otherwise, how would he know about the Wu family’s manoeuvre? There must be a ghost!"
Lin Caisang rolled her eyes at him.
"You did? Are you indicating that you have placed people in my Fates Farm?"
The Second Prince was choked by her words and didn’t know what to say right away.
"I’m just...I just don’t want anyone to cause trouble. You can rest assured, if no trouble happens on your side, my people will surely not spread any news. As for your secrets, I’m not interested in knowing them at all."
It was only after a long while that he finally spoke awkwardly, explaining his actions.
Lin Caisang really felt the urge to curse.
Listening to Old Man Zeng’s account of the matter, she had been wondering how the Elder Princess’s men could have arrived so promptly, only to realize that this guy had stationed men in her Fates Farm.
And not just one, but several of them!
"Miss Lin, Xiao’er was just worried you would be bullied." The Elder Princess spoke up, defending the Second Prince.
"Though Jianan City is at the feet of the emperor, it is full of the powerful and privileged. They are used to bullying others. Seeing you, a newcomer to Jianan, they will inevitably want to suppress you, moreover, you are often outside Jianan City, leaving only the Zeng father and son behind. They think you are more easily bullied.
Of course, Xiao’er placing people in your Fates Farm was indeed inappropriate. Once he recovers from his injury, I will have him bring them back."
Wait for him to recover from his injury, that’s a very clever thing to say.
This is the distinguished Second Prince, after all. To bring back a few people from anywhere is just a matter of a single command. Why should he personally take them? Is there a need to make things so complicated?
However, this incident did alert her somewhat.
If the Second Prince can send people over, who’s to say others won’t also hide people in her Fates Farm?
Last time Ya Molian suggested bringing everyone from the Fates Farm to the Nine Lotus Hall for training. It’s a good thing that didn’t happen. Otherwise, wouldn’t the Nine Lotus Hall have been exposed?
Besides, there are people from the Nine Lotus Hall at the Fates Farm. If those hidden individuals heard conversations they shouldn’t, wouldn’t that spell trouble? Thinking of this, her face turned a little pale.
No, she must find a way to remove all these people. Otherwise, she will not feel at ease.
"Miss Lin, Miss Lin?"
The Elder Princess called for her a few times before managing to pull her back from her deep thoughts.
"Does the Elder Princess need something?"
The Elder Princess shook her head.
"Miss Lin, did you just think of something?"
Hearing her words, Lin Caisang lowered her head, a sly gleam flickering in her eyes. The next moment, she raised her head to look at the Elder Princess.
