Prince De, who was walking over, also wanted to know what they were up to.
He had planned to leave the city before dawn this morning.
He had not expected his nephew, who was the sa age as him, to arrive at his residence before dawn. He was disgusted.
Was he here to stop him on purpose? He could not help wondering.
However, he could not make wild guesses or chase him away without sufficient evidence. He had no choice but to accompany him out.
But why were they here at this bun stall?
Jian Xun imdiately noticed An Jiuyue sitting in the corner.
Pointing at her, he asked Prince De excitedly, “Uncle, what do you think of that young lady? Is she pretty?”
Prince De chuckled internally, but he still looked up in the direction Jian Xun pointed and nodded reluctantly.
“She’s not bad-looking. She’s passable.”
In reality, he found her very good-looking. She was his type, but he did not dare to like her!
He had obtained a portrait of the lady that Qian Jiyun had brought back last night. She looked… exactly like the lady in front of him.
It seed like his mother knew about it too. Otherwise, she would not have allowed Jian Xun to bring him here.
She wanted to pull the rug from under Qian Jiyun and even sent him to do it! He really wondered if he was his mother’s biological son!
“You like her? Then snatch her back with you,” he said as he glanced at Jian Xun.
He had always known that his mother and Princess Imperial, who was also his sister, had joined forces. But being so obvious about it was no good, right?
Jian Xun was confused.
He intended for Prince De to snatch her. Why would he?
His mother had already explained the situation to him. If Prince De snatched this woman away, Qian Jiyun would not let this matter rest so easily.
Prince De would not be able to stay in the capital anymore. He might even go to the southern border under the persuasion of the people around him.
But now…
“Uncle, you don’t like that young lady?” he whispered.
He hoped his uncle would fall into his trap today and not let this trip be in vain.
“Why should I like her?” Prince De did not fall for it and retorted indifferently.
“There are many good-looking girls. Look at how she’s dressed. She’s clearly married. Do you think I need to snatch a married woman with my status?”
“Uh…” Jian Xun was rendered speechless.
He agreed Prince De did not have to, but he did not understand how Prince De could tell An Jiuyue was married.
He looked her up and down. She was dressed like an ordinary young lady. What was the difference? When did his uncle develop penetrating sight?
He argued faintly, “Uncle, I don’t think she’s… married, right?”
“I think she’s married. Do you have a problem with that?” Prince De glared at him and asked fiercely, his hands on his hips.
People around him usually would not dare say anything as long as he did this because they knew it was a sign of his rage. He would hit everyone when he was angry. Even the servants in his residence would try to hide from him as much as possible.
However, Jian Xun was here on a mission today. Princess Imperial had instructed him to stir up trouble between Prince De and Qian Jiyun.
