She was startled sooner or later, and her tiptoeing movements stagnated for a moment. Before she could turn around, she heard her son snort coldly: "Stupid woman, he's not talking about you."
Sure enough, Ye Yu's words were addressed to Aunt Luo Yi, the old madam who had the audacity to run away.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt doubtful.
Logically speaking, a little old bustard shouldn't have the guts to act arrogantly in front of the prince. Anyone with a brain knows that if you want to escape in front of everyone, you are basically asking for trouble.
Unless there is someone on top of this madam, most brothels and brothels have a backstage.
Well, that makes sense. Sooner or later, I secretly gave myself a thumbs up.
"Your Majesty, our family is in a hurry, can you..." Aunt Roy waved her silk handkerchief, but her next words were frightened away by Ye Yu's dark and gloomy face.
"Is everyone here?" He asked Zuo Yan, but his eyes were looking at Aunt Roy.
"As for me, we have searched the entire Hongxingyuan." Zuo Yan said, looking a little evasive.
"Oh?" Ye Yu raised his eyebrows, glanced upstairs intentionally or unintentionally, then fell on Aunt Roy's face and said, "These are the only people in the entire Hongxingyuan, right?"
Hearing this, Zuo Yan also looked at Aunt Roy, clenching his hands into fists by his side, feeling a little nervous.
"Your Majesty..."
"Sir, my subordinate is guilty and is willing to be punished." Zuo Yan knelt down on one knee and said first, "My subordinate also met Zi Zhu Caiying and two others in the courtyard. Because they are guilty, it is not appropriate to meet in person.
Master, he made the decision without authorization and did not bring them here."
Ye Yu stood with his hands behind his hands, but only glanced at him lightly, and then asked Aunt Roy: "Is there anyone new in this Hongxing Courtyard?"
Aunt Luo Yi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, there are a few. Apart from Miss Zizhu and Miss Caiying, there are also Xiangye Hongxiu and others. Well, they are right over there."
She pointed at the timid women kneeling at the end, with some hesitation between her brows, as if she had not finished speaking, and her palms were sweating.
"Do you know what the crime is for deceiving this king?" Ye Yu said coldly, "It rains for no reason in Hongxingyuan. If we can't hand over the person who brought the rain, and we can't give a reasonable explanation, everyone here will die."
Aunt Luo Yi trembled with fright, hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed with her hands on the ground, and said hesitantly: "I don't dare to deceive the prince. There is indeed a girl in Hongxingyuan. She is here right now."
Shangshan Pavilion..."
Seeing this greedy and fearful madam telling her everything, holding a baby in one hand sooner or later, she was anxious but didn't dare to move. Ye Yu's eyes drifted over from time to time. If she made any move, she would be exposed.
Damn it, it seems I can’t stay in this Hongxingyuan anymore.
"Shangshan Pavilion..." Ye Yu chewed on these three words and asked Zuo Yan, "Is there anyone there?"
"Sir, my subordinate is incompetent and has not seen anyone."
"Oh, it's not that you are incompetent." His words made Aunt Roy start to tremble. "If you really bring someone here who can swallow clouds and smoke, I won't believe it."
So saying that, Ye Yu actually walked up the steps with a sneer, holding on to the railing and climbing up the steps. It was clear that he was expecting them to come sooner or later.
"It's rare for a girl from Hongxingyuan to be so bold. I didn't even greet you when I came here. Is it true that the folklore says that those with high skills are bold?"
He smiled evilly as he walked. His handsome face was rarely soft, and it was actually a bit dazzling.
Did he believe that this "girl from Hongxingyuan" was the mysterious person who caused this rain?
