Yan Beichen also didn’t bother to say much to Yan Pei, he turned his back and remained silent.
Yan Pei saw her brother like this and leaned in, saying, "I know quite a bit about Miss Gu, don’t you want to know, Brother?"
Yan Beichen still didn’t bother to respond, having already asked people to inquire about Yun Jiao after returning from Fan Building that day.
The Duke Mansion is not impervious. Quickly, the servants found out that Yun Jiao ca from Xiang City and is a doctor, publicly known as Lady Wu’s niece. Her interactions with the Young Master are exceedingly close.
Seeing her brother not responding, Yan Pei dared not act recklessly.
She was quite afraid of this brother in her heart.
Among the wives and concubines in his courtyard, whoever dared to disobey his will would suffer various cruel punishnts.
Yan Pei couldn’t help but know a bit. Just listening made her feel terrified.
She glanced at Yan Beichen, trying to please him, "Brother, it shouldn’t be long before I can see that Miss Gu in the mansion, right?"
Unexpectedly, Yan Beichen replied to her, "Not so easy, she’s the Young Master’s fiancée."
Yan Pei widened her eyes, "It’s her?!"
Indeed, she had reasons to dislike this girl.
Yan Pei suddenly said, "Actually, her status must not be high. Besides, she’s only a fiancée. If she doesn’t keep her chastity, the Duke Mansion definitely wouldn’t want her, right, Brother?"
As she spoke, she kept glancing at her brother.
Yan Beichen made no comnt, flinging his sleeves and heading toward the Warm Pavilion.
Jiang Youzhi and his party wandered in the plum forest for a while before a maid ca to say it was ti to start the feast.
Then everyone headed back to the Warm Pavilion.
The banquet quickly began in the Warm Pavilion.
Yun Jiao, Chu Danning, and Yang Ying sat together.
Yang Ying ate absentmindedly.
Before coming, her grand-aunt instructed her to try and make a good impression on the Princess, or if the Young Master took a liking to her, that would be her fortune.
If neither worked out, she should at least try to et so n at the flower appreciation banquet.
Any man here was a son of a noble family, more than suitable for her.
Missing this chance, given the status of the Yang Family, there would be no possibility of marrying into a noble family.
But no one took an interest in her, except the man who helped adjust her cloak earlier. When he looked at her, he seed sowhat moved.
Yet that man had a trimd beard, clearly over thirty years old, probably already had a wife, and his children might be as old as her.
Sigh...
As the luncheon ended, many began to take their leave, since the estate was outside the city, and returning to the city would take at least half an hour.
Jiang Youzhi whispered to Lin Shuo beside him, "Brother Lin, let’s go."
Lin Shuo was a bit surprised, "Leaving now?"
After all, Jiang Youzhi was almost like half a host here, and many guests hadn’t left yet.
Jiang Youzhi quietly explained what happened that day with Yan Beichen showing interest in Yun Jiao and told Lin Shuo he wanted to return to the city earlier, making Lin Shuo’s expression turn serious, "Brother Jiang, how many guards have you brought?"
Jiang Youzhi replied, "Eight."
"Why suddenly ask this?"
He squinted, "He wouldn’t dare snatch people, right?"
Lin Shuo lowered his voice, "That might be hard to say. I stumbled upon sothing the year before; he secretly maintains several death warriors and has people from the underworld working for him."
"He doesn’t need to show himself; even if these people are caught, it wouldn’t trace back to him. You don’t have evidence to say he did it. Do you think he has anything to fear?"
