"Third Prince, did you co here just to say these things?"
Ouyang Qing listened to his calm words, sighed, and sat down with so regret.
Let’s talk business.
Ouyang Qing squinted and spoke up,
"My Second Prince seems to be eyeing this Marquis Mansion."
The Su Family is renowned, and Mr. Su has so power in his hands.
A very important link.
Mr. Su is upright and disdains forming cliques.
Thus, he hasn’t been involved in the power struggle for the throne.
He maintained a distance from us princes.
Ji Yu’s eyelid twitched.
"Su Haihua?"
Ouyang Qing smiled.
"You could think of this? Right, my Second Prince plans to use Su Haihua to compete for the Su Residence."
Ouyang Qing picked up a pastry from the table, took a bite.
Unhurriedly.
"Su Haihua allied with my Second Prince; if they want the Marquis Mansion, they only need to eliminate one person."
Ji Yu remained expressionless.
Ouyang Qing knew he had guessed it.
"Your Young Master."
With Su Yan gone, there would be no successor for the Marquis Mansion.
They would have to find a suitable heir within the collateral relations.
In the collateral relations, only Su Haihua stood out and was most favored by Mr. Su.
Sooner or later, the Marquis Mansion would fall into Su Haihua’s hands.
Ouyang Qing chewed on the pastry, becoming unhurried.
He observed Ji Yu attentively.
Clicking his tongue,
"Your Highness has never seen you treat like this."
Speaking of this matter, Ouyang Qing recalled the past,
"Thinking back to the day I almost died by the mountain bandit, with a knife at my throat, didn’t you co to save Your Highness only after finishing your tea?"
Looking at him now, with that serious deanor.
Ouyang Qing started to feel jealous.
"What’s so good about that Young Master? He gathered so many beautiful concubines that sooner or later he’ll switch his affections to so other family’s girl.
By then, how can you, an old man, compete with those young girls for favor?"
Speaking this way, Ouyang Qing coughed.
"Co away with Your Highness, as for your contract, Your Highness will retrieve it for you."
In truth, for Ouyang Qing, Ji Yu could stay anywhere.
Not too particular.
But watching Ji Yu becoming more and more attentive to that pretty face.
Thinking back on knowing him for eight years, through life’s ups and downs.
Yet, never had he seen him so tense for himself.
Feeling imbalanced in his heart.
If it was a girl, he could understand, thinking it’s infatuation.
But that pretty face is a veteran in both gender affairs.
Exactly what did Ji Yu see in him??
Saying this, a sound ca from the door.
Su Yan returned.
Then, the Third Prince watched as the previously expressionless face bore a gentle smile when Su Yan appeared.
Ouyang Qing humd a couple of tis, rolled his eyes.
Gripped the fan and fanned forcefully.
Su Yan saw the person in the pavilion, eyes brightened, walked up.
Spoke,
"Sitting here all along?"
Ji Yu nodded.
"Waiting for the Marquis to return."
Saying this, Ji Yu pushed the pastry towards Su Yan.
Su Yan picked up the pastry and took two bites.
While saying,
"I heard there’s a Qiqiao Festival in the city tonight, want to check it out?"
Ji Yu raised his head to ask,
"Is the Marquis going?"
Su Yan nodded,
"Yes."
While speaking, Su Yan held Ji Yu’s hand.
"Ji Yu will go with the Marquis."
Ouyang Qing heard Ji Yu’s laughter-filled voice.
Seeing all the pastries in front of him pulled over to Su Yan’s side.
Humd twice.
Reluctant to pay attention.
Softly muttered,
"What’s the point in two grown n attending the Qiqiao Festival."
