When they returned, Yu Wenxin had just brought people back. Seeing Yu Yi, he was surprised, “Miss Yi, how could you…”
Meng Qing stated, “Miss Yi has broken up with the second brother. From now on, she’ll be following this prince.”
Yu Yi nodded and bowed to Yu Wenxin.
Yu Wenxin was somewhat doubtful about Yi Yao’s break-up with Luo Ye. He was curious about what had happened when Luo Zhan went to Luo Ye’s residence. He returned Yu Yi’s bow and turned to Meng Qing, “Your Highness, it’s late. Perhaps we should let Miss Yi rest.”
Meng Qing nodded to Yu Yi, “As the master said, Miss Yi must be exhausted after all these events. It’s best to rest early. Miss Yi can temporarily stay in the Shengxue Courtyard.”
Yu Yi agreed.
“
Then Meng Qing instructed the servants, “Miss Yi is this prince’s honored guest. You must serve her well. Whatever Miss Yi asks, you must do.”
Yu Wenxin waited until Yu Yi and the servants left before asking softly, “Your Highness, I’m not sure if Miss Yi can be trusted. Perhaps we shouldn’t arrange her too close to the main courtyard.” Shengxue Courtyard was an independent courtyard adjacent to the main courtyard, which should have been for a concubine, but since Luo Zhan had no concubine, it had remained empty until now.
“Master need not worry about Miss Yi’s loyalty. She broke up with the second brother because she refused his proposal and could no longer stay in his residence.”
Yu Wenxin was startled again, but quickly understood: “Your Highness is about to discuss Yi Ya’s son?”
“Naturally.”
“Your Highness, are you also interested in Yi Ya’s son?”
Meng Qing shook his head and smiled lightly: “Yi Ya’s son is not someone who can be easily summoned. Zhan is not the type to forget kindness. Please be assured, sir, Zhan still relies on you.”
Yu Wenxin hurriedly said: “This subordinate means no such thing. Your Highness, if Yi Ya’s son can assist, then the entire world would be yours…”
“That’s an exaggeration. No matter how clever a person is, they cannot compare to collective wisdom.”
Even if Zhan is fortunate to have Yi Ya’s son’s help, he still needs your continued assistance.”
