Zhe Jue looked at his lord and then at his mistress, and couldn’t help but touch his nose.
It seemed that the lord’s decision to deal with those people wasn’t without reason, even the mistress who grew up in Ya Village felt something was amiss.
"I’ve already dealt with it a few days ago," Ya Molian said.
"A few days ago? You’re not saying that the assassination outside the National Teacher’s mansion was done by your people?" Lin Caisang finally figured something out.
Such foolish people were fortunate to have been dealt with, or else they would have become endless trouble in the future. Who knows what other foolish things they might have done. What’s more, they might have endangered Ya Molian.
Ya Molian didn’t speak, but he didn’t deny it either.
"You actually have such people under your command, no wonder you were poisoned in Shaohua City."
Lin Caisang couldn’t help but mutter to herself. It turned out that Ya Molian’s poisoning wasn’t without reason—it was because the people he arranged in Shaohua City were too useless!
"Let’s not talk about this for now, what about your situation, when are you planning to go to White Blind Mountain?" she asked.
"I’m still waiting, waiting for them to become impatient and come asking for help," Ya Molian said.
He naturally wouldn’t volunteer to go to the peak of White Blind Mountain to save people. Given the current situation, it depended on how long those people in the palace could endure, but he guessed it shouldn’t be too long now.
"Then I’ll continue to drag things out over here," Lin Caisang nodded and said.
"Dragging out? Mistress, who are you planning to drag out?" Zhe Jue asked.
"Don’t ask what you shouldn’t."
Lin Caisang glared at him and turned to look at Ya Molian.
"I’ve given Suri a slow-acting antidote. As long as it’s managed properly, it’s not a problem to delay a few months. In these few months, I can still come to Shaohua City," she said.
Ya Molian’s eyes flickered slightly as he asked.
"Yes, anytime," Lin Caisang nodded.
If she could, she really wanted to just move into Prince Mo’s Mansion, but reality did not allow it.
"Oh, and there’s something else, I don’t know if you’ve received the news, about Ban Yilu. She must be an enemy spy you have in Ya Village gathering information on you; I wanted to ask what you plan to do?"
She suddenly remembered Ban Yilu and mentioned it.
"Lord, it must be the Emperor’s person," Zhe Jue whispered to Ya Molian.
Apart from the Emperor, he couldn’t think of a second person who would dare plant a secret informant in Ya Village to spy on his lord.
Ya Molian shook his head, his intuition telling him that Ban Yilu wouldn’t be someone from the Emperor’s side; there were many other possibilities.
"Sang’er, don’t touch her for now; just wait and see, and you... have someone keep a closer watch on her," he instructed Lin Caisang.
"I’ve already given the order," Lin Caisang nodded.
If she couldn’t simply eliminate the spy, as she had thought before, then keeping a close eye on her was the way to go.
"However, she’s very slippery."
Ban Yilu truly deserved to be a spy. Previously, Nangong and Beidou told her that being with Ban Yilu meant one could be seen through at any time. They needed to be constantly vigilant to guard against her.
But this also showed that some people had really spent a great deal of effort to plant this woman in Ya Village.
"Besides her, is there anything else?" Ya Molian inquired.
He knew that a single Ban Yilu was not enough to catch Sang’er’s eye; after all, this girl even dared to attack Suyang directly.
"What else could there be? Ya Village is just a small village; no matter how much it stirs, it won’t cause any major upheaval," Lin Caisang said.
