After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Yan Yu was still copying scriptures in his room when he suddenly heard a maid say that something had happened.

After copying for the entire morning, Yan Yu only took a short break at noon. He rubbed his sore wrist and took a sip of the tea beside him: "What happened?"

Bichun quickly came up to Yan Yu and said, "Just now I went to the kitchen to get some snacks, and heard the servants over there say..."

Bichun recounted in detail the story of how the fifth prince was caught visiting a brothel.

Yan Yu was a little surprised and couldn't believe it for a moment.

It’s not that she has never seen the world, but she really can’t imagine it.

Since Emperor Taizong of the Wei Dynasty established the capital in Beijing, officials were prohibited from entering and leaving Qinlou and Chuguan.

We all work for the court and must be honest and upright. If the people see us going in and out of such occasions, what kind of rumors will spread among the people?

Even if you don't go, there will be a lot of jokes in the brothels.

Therefore, most of the wealthy and powerful families with a rich background keep some beauties in their own homes. On the one hand, it is for their own pleasure to look at them on a daily basis, and on the other hand, they can be used to entertain distinguished guests when they come.

Those young masters of this dynasty who hang out in brothels and prostitutes either have not had a very good family background or have not had very good family education.

A family of high status would never marry their daughter to such an irresponsible person.

Xiao Jiashan is the fifth prince. If he goes to such a place, wouldn't that be disrespectful to the emperor and the empress dowager?

Yan Yu was somewhat curious, and she really wanted to find out the ins and outs of the matter, but the people in the mansion only knew so much, and she couldn't find out anything no matter how hard she tried.

To be honest, it’s because I just arrived and have no connections.

Yan Yu held his chin and thought for a long time, thinking that he should deploy his own spies inside and outside the palace as soon as possible. In case anything happened inside or outside the palace, if he knew about it in time and took precautions, he could avoid a lot of danger.

Bichun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately... Fortunately... Miss, you didn't marry the Fifth Prince."

It is easiest to get some dirty diseases in brothels. If you marry such a person, you don’t know what problems will arise in the future.

Yan Yu was also somewhat relieved.

Although Xiao Chengji is like an iceberg on weekdays, I have never seen him smile since we met.

But at least Xiao Chengji is not lustful.

He usually focused on the affairs of the court and went to court before dawn. When he was resting at home, his subordinates would come to him to report some important events in the Ministry of Justice.

It is quite reassuring to have a man like this at home.

She put down the teacup in her hand. She felt a little hungry and wanted to eat something.

Bichun quickly brought up a plate of cakes and said, "The lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake that the kitchen just made is still hot. Miss, please try it."

Yan Yu pinched a piece and tasted it. It tasted really good, with a strong sweet osmanthus fragrance, sweet but not greasy.

"And this two-color water chestnut cake, they made it especially for you and sent it to you eagerly." Bichun said, "Last time when Concubine Tian stole your bird's nest, they really knew they were wrong."

Recently, after Yan Yu took over the affairs of the Prince of Qin's Palace, everyone under him knew about it, and they were all extremely scared.

They have not yet seen the princess's methods, and many people have never even seen Yan Yu herself.

Some people in the mansion said that she was a young girl who didn't know much, while others said that without the support of her natal family, she would definitely not be able to manage a business as big as the Qin Palace.

But no matter what, the power of the steward is in Yan Yu's hands.

It is said that a new official will start with three things. They don’t know whether these three things will start, and they are all afraid that they will burn themselves.

Yan Yu just smiled and didn't respond to Bichun's words.

She could more or less guess what the people below were thinking.

However, she just kept her distance and quietly copied scriptures, doing nothing for the time being, waiting and watching for a while before taking any action.

Let those who are anxious take their time.

Everything was peaceful in the Prince of Qin's mansion, but not so peaceful in the Fifth Prince's mansion.

When Wei Ruxuan heard someone say that the Fifth Prince was arrested by the Ministry of Justice for visiting a brothel, she was even more incredulous than Yan Yu. She raised her hand and slapped the maid who passed the message: "It's broad daylight now, what nonsense are you talking about?"

After being slapped, the nanny felt a little aggrieved, but she still managed to say, "This is true. Our Fifth Master went to Mengchunfang, and it happened that the Ministry of Justice was checking whether officials had entered these places... You also know that the emperor forbids officials to visit prostitutes, and the customs in the capital are the strictest. As a result... our Fifth Master was there..."

For a moment, Wei Ruxuan felt dizzy and could not believe this fact.

The fifth prince went to a brothel to find a prostitute?

How could he, a nobleman, actually go after those lowly women?

Those famous dandies in the capital city, at most, keep some actors and actresses at home, and few of them have status and position to hang out there all day long.

Besides, the Fifth Prince had told her personally before that he would only love her and only her for the rest of his life and would not mess around with other women outside!

The current situation was completely different from what Wei Ruxuan had imagined. She gritted her teeth and said, "It must be those lowly creatures who deliberately seduced the Fifth Prince. How could a man like the Fifth Prince resist the temptation of these people?"

The nanny who was slapped by her didn't dare to speak and stood by fearfully.

Wei Ruxuan was really furious, and she looked at herself again.

Today she was still wearing the old-fashioned dark blue dress, and the jewelry on her head was a gift from the Queen - a style that was no longer popular last year.

Such a nice young girl, but she dressed like a woman in her thirties or forties. No wonder the Fifth Prince didn't come to touch her these days.

Wei Ruxuan couldn't help but blame Queen Zheng in her heart.

If it weren't for Queen Zheng's meddling, how could she have lost the favor of the Fifth Prince so easily? Why would she let the Fifth Prince go outside to find someone?

Wei Ruxuan's maid whispered in her ear, "It seems that the Queen Mother wants to marry General Weiyuan's daughter to the Fifth Prince as his principal wife. After this incident, the marriage is likely to fail."

Thinking of this, Wei Ruxuan reacted instantly.

Yes, the position of the principal wife in the Fifth Prince’s Mansion is still vacant.

The old thing Queen Mother Zheng has always been dissatisfied with herself and always wants to marry a better woman to the fifth prince.

General Weiyuan treats his daughter like the apple of his eye. If the Fifth Prince were to go to such a dirty place, would he be willing to send his daughter here?

Don't forget, many people know about the scandal between the Fifth Prince and Wei Ruxuan.

The Cang Kingdom has always been a hidden danger. General Weiyuan's words carry a lot of weight in the court. Many people speculate that he will be granted a title of nobility if he makes more military achievements.

Wei Ruxuan's frown relaxed instantly.

She knew that the Fifth Prince still liked her.

This time he went to the brothel, most likely because he didn't want to marry into General Weiyuan's family, and used this method to refuse.

Wei Ruxuan touched her temples and said, "Forget it, just go. There is no cat that doesn't steal fish. Anyway, he can't bring such a dirty thing into his own home."
