Enraged beyond measure, he stopped struggling.
"Ji Yu! Was all of this your doing?!"
Ji Yu lowered his eyelids, not saying a word.
Ke Yu sneered, wanting to struggle forward and tear this hypocritical person apart.
The strong man behind him, however, restrained him, not allowing him to break free.
Ke Yu panted, his eyes filled with hatred.
"You’re nothing but a male prostitute from a brothel, yet you dare to think of monopolizing the Marquis’s heart.
So jealous, so vicious, and so hypocritical. When the Young Master discovers your true self, how many days do you think you have left to live?"
Ji Yu still didn’t glance at Ke Yu.
At a glance, it seemed as if he was humbly listening to him speak.
Ke Yu was made even angrier by this scene.
"You don’t need to act in front of me, dismissing everyone in the Young Master’s rear courtyard, even sending me away, all of this was your idea, wasn’t it?!"
Lanzhi stood by, signaling the two men to drag him away.
Unwilling to give up, Ke Yu’s voice turned shrill.
"Answer me! Was it you?! This was all your scheme, wasn’t it?!"
Finally, Ke Yu, who stood motionless there, raised his eyelids, looking at him.
He curled a faint smile.
"It was me."
His straightforward answer stunned Ke Yu for a moment.
"You’ve admitted it?"
Ji Yu stood there, the wind brushing past, lifting a lock of his hair.
He just listened to him say,
"I originally planned to let you stay for a few more days.
It’s just that yesterday, you wore clothes similar to mine, sitting in the pavilion.
Were you trying to imitate my appearance, diverting the Young Master’s attention?
Is that how you planned to catch the Young Master’s eye?"
Ke Yu didn’t speak.
Ji Yu walked up to him,
his voice light and airy.
"You’re an eyesore; I was going to kill you. Being able to leave the Marquis Mansion with your life is the Marquis’s mercy."
Ke Yu was frozen by those deep black eyes staring at him.
Ji Yu shifted his gaze, bowed his head, and tidied a corner of his garment.
"Since you brought it up, clear up the whole rear courtyard as well."
Ji Yu carelessly, leisurely said,
"If they cause any trouble in the future, it’ll all be your fault."
Ke Yu staggered, having completely lost his earlier fury.
Instead, there was some fear.
He kept stepping back.
His gaze turned to Lanzhi beside him.
"Did you hear everything?! This was all his plot! Quickly, call the Young Master to remove this malicious and hypocritical person!!"
Lanzhi lowered her head, stepping back, standing there.
She didn’t chime in.
Hearing those words made her very nervous too.
However, a month ago, Lanzhi once told the Young Master about her discovery that Ji Yu was not as harmless as he seemed.
The Young Master was very calm, even telling her that no matter what she saw from Ji Yu in the future, there was no need to report.
That is to say, the Young Master knew long ago that this Ji Yu was not as harmless as he appeared.
But it so happened, the Young Master was willing to dote on him.
In the end, Ke Yu was dragged away in despair.
Ji Yu glanced at Lanzhi, his lips curling slightly.
Then he shifted his gaze.
"The Young Master should be back, right?"
"Yes, Master Ji Yu."
"Prepare the meal."
"Yes, Master Ji Yu."
Lanzhi spoke with utmost respect.
Even a month ago, she had been very respectful.
But after witnessing that scene just now, Lanzhi spoke even more respectfully than before.
With a hint of fear in her respect.
Lanzhi could withstand the late Princess’s test, allowing the Princess to place her with confidence beside the Young Master, watching over him.
