Rong Zhan did not panic at all and said calmly, “She won’t.”
The old prince saw that Rong Zhan was calm and could not help but be curious. “Are you a roundworm in her stomach? How do you know that Eldest Miss Gu won’t fall for another man? I’ve heard that the ninth prince of Moyun Kingdom has been trying to please Eldest Miss Gu. The ninth prince is a suave and elegant man. If you don’t make a move and your sweetheart is taken away, you won’t even be able to find the right tone to cry.”
“Grandfather, if MO Yunye had the chance, Qingxue wouldn’t have come home with me for the new year,” Rong Zhan said indifferently.
“Of course, I know this. In short, you should seize her. I’m still waiting to see you marry a good wife and have many children before I die!” The old prince cleared his throat and reached out to take the tea offered by the attendant. “In addition, l i ve also heard about Qu Lianyu.”
Rong Zhan looked at the old prince.
“I know you don’t like her. If you don’t like her, then I can’t force you, but I heard that she can’t stay in the other residence, isn’t that a little too much?” When the old prince thought of Qu Lianyu, his heart softened.
Two years ago, the old prince had also thought of matchmaking Qu Lianyu and
Rong Zhan together. However, Rong Zhan had always been indifferent to Qu Lianyu, and the old prince could tell that he had no interest in her, so he did not want to force him.
Rong Zhan remained emotionless after hearing the old princes words. ‘Grandfather, after my men sent Qu Lianyu to the other residence, she left on her own. Moreover, after she left, she didn’t return to her hometown, but returned to Jing City.”
The old prince had never heard of this, and his eyes widened in surprise. “If that’s the case, why didn’t she come back?”
“According to the maidservant who accompanied Qu Lianyu, Qu Lianyu thought that it was Qingxue who incited her from behind the scenes, so I sent her to another residence. Now that she ran out and returned to Jing City, but didn’t return to the residence, what do you think she wants to do, grandfather?” Every word that Rong Zhan said was sharp.
The old prince understood what Rong Zhan meant. “Greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. If she really did something stupid that she shouldn’t have done, then you don’t have to come and report to me.”
The old prince indulged Qu Lianyu’s temper because of his friend’s last words, but this did not mean that he would unconditionally love her all the time. Rong Zhan stood up and saluted the old prince before he turned around and left.
Rong Zhan had just stepped out of the door when he saw Liu Yi waiting for him.
Liu Yi seemed to be in a good mood. He came forward to bow and said to Rong Zhan respectfully, “Reporting to Your Royal Highness, MO Yunye already knows about Eldest Miss Gu’s New Year celebration at the prince regent’s residence this year. I heard that he’s extremely furious and hasn’t eaten anything for the entire day.”
They had placed spies around MO Yunye. Although they could not accurately grasp MO Yunye’s every move, they could roughly know his situation.
“Yes, ignore it.” Rong Zhan did not take this matter to heart at all. After saying that, he was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. He stopped and looked at Liu Yi. “Tell the men that on the first day of the new year, I will be bringing Qingxue to the palace banquet.”
“Yes.” Liu Yi did not dare to show his surprise too obviously. After nodding in agreement, he sent Rong Zhan off respectfully and then hurried off to prepare..
