When Chu Huanyan brought Xian Yue to Chu Ziyuan's yard, the yard was already in a mess.

Not only were the flowers and potted plants smashed all over the ground, but even the stone tables in the yard were knocked down.

Several servants were surrounding the entrance of the courtyard, and no one dared to go in. Only Ah Si was in the courtyard, but he just stood at a distance, frowning, as if he didn't dare to get close for fear of being accidentally hurt.

"What's going on?" Chu Huanyan's voice suddenly attracted everyone's attention, and the servants surrounding the entrance of the courtyard quickly made way for her.

Chu Ziyuan was furious in the courtyard and kicked over the last flowerpot. When he saw Chu Huanyan coming, he didn't care about the mess in front of him and walked directly towards Chu Huanyan.

"Miss..." Xian Yue quickly blocked Chu Huanyan.

"It doesn't matter." Chu Huanyan signaled Xianyue to step back and walked into the courtyard. Looking at Chu Ziyuan who was full of anger, Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's going on?"

In the past few days, Chu Ziyuan had been drugged with a lot of sweat medicine, and he had been feeling groggy. He didn't bother to take care of him. It wasn't until Youlan committed suicide and returned to the Hou Mansion that he stopped drugging Chu Ziyuan.

Looking at his appearance, does he know about being drugged?

"Sister, how long are you going to keep this secret from me?" Chu Ziyuan gritted his teeth and looked at Chu Huanyan.

The latter raised his eyebrows slightly, "What are you hiding?"

"Of course it's about Zhaoran and Pei Zhaoqing!" Chu Ziyuan said loudly.

Chu Huanyan looked confused for a moment, "What's going on with them?"

She hadn't seen Liu Zhaoran for a while, so she really didn't know what Chu Ziyuan was talking about.

Seeing that Chu Huanyan didn't look like he was lying, Chu Ziyuan gritted his teeth again and turned to look at Ah Si who was hiding aside, "You tell me!"

Ah Si responded and stepped forward cautiously, "Miss, when I left the mansion this morning, I heard someone talking about the engagement between Miss Liu of the Prime Minister's Mansion and Prince Pei of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion."

"engagement?"

So suddenly? Chu Huanyan was surprised.

It hadn't been too long since the last Qushui Drinking Banquet, and I didn't expect that the two families were already engaged.

"What does it matter now? Sister, we must not let Zhaoran marry that Pei Zhaoqing. He is not worthy!" Chu Ziyuan was furious.

After hearing the news from Ah Si, he immediately wanted to leave the house, but he didn't expect that the boy at the entrance of the courtyard was so bold that he dared to stop him. He also said that he was ordered by his eldest sister to stay in this courtyard and recuperate.

His injury has healed, and the top priority now is to find Zhaoran immediately!

Listening to Pei Zhaoqing's question about how worthy he was, Chu Huanyan felt ridiculous.

Although he didn't have much contact with him, Pei Zhaoqing was superior to his younger brother in both appearance and character.

What's more, the other party is the heir apparent of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. Marquis Zhongyong guards the border and holds military power. There are many people in the court who want to have anything to do with him.

Could it be that his younger brother has never looked in the mirror? How does he think he can surpass Pei Zhaoqing?

"Sister, why don't you speak?" Chu Ziyuan looked at Chu Huanyan eagerly.

The latter curled his lips, took a step to the side, and let out the courtyard door.

"Go ahead."

Chu Ziyuan was stunned for a moment.

"Don't you want to stop it? Go ahead. As the eldest sister, I naturally can't hinder your happiness."

"Then elder sister, you..."

"I can't help you with anything, I just want to remind you..." Chu Huanyan sighed slightly, "You have offended many people before, and now you have not been able to successfully attack the prince. If you are not safe, someone will retaliate against you. Be careful when you go out. Also Yes, the Prime Minister's Mansion is not a place where you can trespass, so be polite when you go there, otherwise you may have to go in again just after you get out of the prison."

Chu Huanyan's tone was calm and indifferent, as if the matter had nothing to do with her, which made Chu Ziyuan feel angry again.

Sure enough, he should have known that since he was imprisoned, his eldest sister no longer cared about him as much as before.

"Why don't you go? Do you dare not?" Chu Huanyan asked, meeting his gaze.

Chu Ziyuan wished he could bite all his teeth into pieces, and clenched his lowered hands into fists, "Whoever said they dare not, I'll go now!"

After saying that, he quickly rushed out of the courtyard gate.

Chu Huanyan had already spoken, and the people who were originally guarding the courtyard did not stop him, and soon Chu Ziyuan disappeared.

Xian Yue dismissed the crowd watching the fun, but Chu Huanyan still stood in the yard, her eyes falling on Ah Si.

"You got the news when you left the mansion in the morning, so you told the prince when you came back?"

"I know my mistake. I just accidentally let it slip." Ah Si quickly admitted his mistake.

"Is it really careless?" Chu Huanyan asked quietly.

Ah Si trembled all over, nervousness quickly appeared in his eyes, and then he knelt down, "Miss, I really didn't mean this. Please punish me, Miss."

Chu Huanyan looked at him for a while longer. It was not until Ah Si was trembling slightly at the sight that she finally looked away.

"That's it, let's tidy up this courtyard."

"Yes, I obey your orders." Ah Siru was pardoned and responded quickly.

Walking out of the courtyard, Xian Yue followed Chu Huanyan.

"Miss, do you think Ah Si did it on purpose?"

"Do you think Ah Si hates Chu Ziyuan in his heart?"

Xian Yue nodded. Since the last time he was beaten, although Ah Si has stayed with the prince to serve, she followed the young lady and bumped into Ah Si reporting news to the young lady several times. It can be seen that Ah Si was deeply worried. Resentful of the crown prince.

"Although Chu Ziyuan has been in jail and suffered a lot, he is still the prince when he returns to the Marquis Mansion and continues to enjoy the service of his servants. As for Ah Si..."

Chu Huanyan chuckled lightly.

"Ever since Chu Ziyuan was imprisoned, he can be said to be idle in this yard, but he can still receive his monthly payment on time. The gap between the two of them, coupled with the previous resentment, do you think he is willing to Is Chu Ziyuan coming back?"

Having been with Chu Ziyuan for so long, Ah Si knew very well what news could affect Chu Ziyuan.

If Chu Ziyuan got into any trouble when he was angry, he might be kicked back to jail.

"So Ah Si deliberately told the news to the Crown Prince!" Xian Yue understood, but after thinking about it, she frowned again, "Miss, after all, it concerns the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. If the Crown Prince really causes trouble, Will it affect you?"

"Don't worry, he won't cause trouble." Chu Huanyan shook her head.

"Why?" Xianyue was puzzled.

"He just rushed out because he was angry for a moment. This period of time in prison was enough to make Chu Ziyuan timid. I guess he could only go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for a meeting, and he might not even dare to come forward. As for making a fuss …”

Chu Huanyan shook her head, her eyes clear, "Chu Ziyuan no longer has the courage!"
