Xiu Yaojun huffed lightly: “As long as you know.”
Wei Qingwan bit her lip, refusing to dispute further with Xiu Yaojun, and turned her head away to quietly carry on with her own affairs.
Just then, a sudden commotion erupted in the courtyard, sparking a look of confusion on the faces of the ladies within the teahouse.
Everyone turned to look through the window facing the courtyard, only to see a man being beaten in the center of it.
The assailant was a man from the opposite teahouse.
From his dressing, it was clear that the attacker was a servant from a prestigious family. As for the beaten man, his attire was quite decent, generating queries about what sparked the conflict.
The courtyard, which was flanked by two teahouses, contained beautifully maintained flowers and plants that were severely damaged amidst the action.
“Miss Xiu, who are the guests in the opposite teahouse?” Someone asked Xiu Yaojun.
Xiu Yaojun wasn’t certain either: “According to the owner of the establishment,
it’s a dignitary. They won’t disturb us.”
No one knew who the master of such unruly servants was, permitting them to assault people so brazenly.
As everyone was left puzzled, Chu Lan emerged from the opposite teahouse.
“Isn’t that Prince Seven?”
Many in the crowd were ladies from prominent families, and some had met
Chu Lan before.
Chu Lan’s celestial-like countenance was something that anyone would find hard to forget after just one encounter.
“So it’s Prince Seven. Then, there must be something wrong with the man who
was beaten.”
“I heard that Prince Seven was injured on the battlefield some time ago. Not sure if he has fully recovered.”
-When Prince Seven was appointed as Military Governor, he had a tough time, actually going onto the battlefield himself to fight enemy soldiers.”
The ladies whispered quietly amongst themselves about Prince Seven.
Wei Qingwan, who was seated near the courtyard due to Xiu Yaojun’s coldness, had a clear view of the scene unfolding in the courtyard.
Like everyone else, she found herself watching Chu Lan intently. Despite their different statuses and the limited times they’ve met, she felt her heart flutter differently with each encounter.
Contrary to everyone else, Wei Ruo looked away from the scene, turning her gaze to a window on the opposite side that overlooked the lake.
Understanding the ladies’ reactions to Chu Lan, Wei Ruo was all too familiar due to the original host’s crush on him. But to her now, Chu Lan was nothing more than a despicable bastard and a harbinger of disaster.
Chu Lan stood at the entrance of the teahouse, looking coldly at the man his men had beaten to a pulp.
This person had been tailing him since he left the Yusheng Tea Garden, even following him all the way to the Yusheng Tea House. Chu Lan didn’t believe this was a coincidence.
He was aware that many were eyeing his life, especially his Sixth Royal Brother, who was particularly eager.
Recently, there were moves to reopen the case of Lord Xiu of the State. Chu Lan had an inkling that the Ninth Prince was still alive and behind the push.
