It wasn’t difficult to deduce that no matter how magnanimous Madam Luo was, she probably wouldn’t be able to tolerate a concubine relying on the doting of her men to climb over her head.

She could not tolerate the daughter of a concubine surpassing her legitimate daughter.

When the matter was exposed, she would pull this concubine’s daughter out to take the blame. Not only would she become an eyesore, but it would also be a blow to Master’s favorite concubine. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.

Xia Tao had also thought of this. “So, the Duke Rongs Residence has long planned this. They’ve even planned the aftermath. They’re just waiting for

Young Miss…”

She was not afraid to speculate about others with the greatest malice.

The malice of the Duke Rong’s Residence was wrapped in “special care” sugar. It was like arsenic wrapped in frosting. If one was not careful, it would pierce through one’s intestines.

Yu Youyao said, “This is just my guess.”

However, Xia Tao also knew that Fifth Miss Yin’s actions were suspicious. The Duke Rong’s Residence clearly had ill intentions towards her. “Young Miss, why did you want to knock Fifth Miss Yin out?”

Yu Youyao said calmly, “Fifth Miss Yin specially lured me here. It’s impossible that she doesn’t have a backup plan. The situation in the crepe myrtle garden is unknown. Knocking her out will avoid complicating matters and causing trouble. Fifth Miss Yin is in the pavilion and didn’t come with me. No matter how this matter develops, Fifth Miss Yin won’t be able to implicate me.” Xia Tao suddenly understood.

The best way to deal with the enemy was to not even give her a chance to perform.

At this moment, Chun Xiao returned. Yu Youyao continued, “We have to figure out why the Duke Rong’s Residence is plotting against me.”

Before Xia Tao could react, Chun Xiao had already walked over. “Young Miss, I followed your instructions and threw Fifth Miss Yin and her maidservant into the pavilion.”

Yu Youyao nodded. “Go quietly to the crepe myrtle garden and find out why

Fifth Miss Yin led me hereo I’ll go to the corridor in front to rest.”

The Princess Consort of Duke Rong’s Residence was plotting something.

Along the way, there were fewer and fewer people. When they reached the vicinity of the crepe myrtle, they did not even see anyone. It was obvious that the Princess Consort of Duke Rongs Residence’s scheme was shameful. There were definitely not many people in the crepe myrtle garden. Chun Xiao was enough to deal with it.

Chun Xiao nodded and quietly entered the crepe myrtle garden.

The situation in the crepe myrtle garden was unknown, so it wasn’t appropriate for Yu Youyao to stay here for long. She brought Chun Xiao back to the corridor and stopped at the corner of the corridor, as if she was looking at the crepe myrtle garden. The crepe myrtle flowers were very bright and colorful.

Chun Xiao had been practicing some moves since she was young, and her foundation was not bad. In the past two years, she had soaked in many medicinal baths to strenzthen her muscles and bones. She was a little older, and the effect of the medicinal bath was not as good as when she was young, but she could endure hardship. The stronger the training, the better the effect of the medicinal bath.

In the past two years, although she had not become an expert, it was not a problem for him to fly over the eaves and walk on the walls.

The crepe myrtle garden was filled with flowers and trees, and the environment was quiet. Chun Xiao used the flowers and trees as a cover as she entered the interior of the crepe myrtle garden.

In the courtyard, water was drawn in and a large lake was built. At the center of the lake, there were layers of mountain rocks, of different heights and shapes. There were all kinds of lotuses and water lilies planted. In the middle of the lake, there was a two-story bamboo building. Beside the lake, there were all kinds of crepe myrtle flowers. The crepe myrtle surrounded the water, and the water surrounded the bamboo building. It was really a rare scene.

Chun Xiao was about to explore the bamboo building when she heard a man’s voice on the way.

Chun Xiao’s expression changed, and her eyes were filled with shock.

It was true that the crepe myrtle garden was the backyard of Duke Rong’s Residence, but there was a man’s voice in the backyard. Fifth Miss Yin was really scheming to lure Young Miss into the crepe myrtle garden?!

If Young Miss really had one foot in the crepe myrtle garden, wouldn’t it be a private meeting with a man?

Her reputation would be ruined!

Chun Xiao heard the sound getting closer and closer. She ran into the crepe myrtle garden and saw two men walking over side by side.

They were both seventeen or eighteen years old.

One of the men was wearing a python robe and a jade belt.

The purple python robe was embroidered with a golden four-clawed nine-legged python. There were two golden four-clawed python dragon patterns on each shoulder. The python’s head was facing the front, and its eyes were wide open. It was facing the front and sitting in a winding manner.

Chun Xiao was shocked.

Five claws meant a dragon, and four claws meant a python. Only those specially bestowed a title by imperial relatives could wear the embroidery of the golden pythons. The court officials only used green and blue colors.

This person’s identity was already obvious.

Chun Xiao’s heart was beating wildly. She forced herself to calm down and looked at the other person. He was dressed in a four-clawed python robe. He should be the Eldest Young Master of Duke Rongs Residence, Yin Huaizhang.

The man in the python robe and jade belt held a fan in his hand and admired the scenery of the crepe myrtles. “Your family’s crepe myrtle is really quiet and elegant.

“As long as Third Prince is satisfied. After all,” Yin Huaizhang smiled meaningfully, “It will only be more interesting to meet a beauty in such a beautiful place!”

The Third Prince smiled faintly and knocked on Yin Huaizhang’s head with his fan. He scolded jokingly, “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m familiar with the books of the sages and have been taught by the sages. I’m also a polite person. Why would I do such a despicable and shameless thing like meeting a beauty? It will only be a coincidence, do you know?”

Yin Huaizhang couldn’t care less about the pain on his forehead and quickly said, “Yes, yes, yes. I said something wrong and offended Your Highness.”

Seeing that he was still sensible, the Third Prince smiled and said, “You have to remember clearly that I’ve been busy with school recently. I only attended today’s Flower Festival because I was repeatedly invited by your Duke Rong’s Residence. It’s difficult for me to refuse your kindness, so I made an unprecedented appearance to participate in the Flower Festival.”

Yin Huaizhang was very sensible and immediately said, “Of course. Third Prince is diligent and hardworking. I heard that there’s a kind of beautiful scenery in the Duke Rong’s Residence, so I wanted to come over and relax. As the crepe myrtle garden is in the backyard, in order not to alarm and worry the female guests in the backyard, our family specially made arrangements to expel all the servants near the crepe myrtle garden. It was Eldest Miss Yu who accidentally barged into the crepe myrtle garden and bumped into Third

Prince…”

The Third Prince smiled in satisfaction when he saw that everything had been arranged well by the Duke Rong’s Residence!

Yin Huaizhang said obsequiously, “I’ve already asked around. Eldest Miss Yu usually keeps a low profile and rarely walks around outside. I’ve never seen many men outside. She’s quiet and elegant. Third Prince and Eldest Miss Yu bumped into each other here. His Highness has a noble status, is elegant, and is a good person. Eldest Miss Yu will definitely fall for him.”

She was a woman who had never seen a man from another residence before, so she was the easiest to coax.

With just a few tricks, he could make her face turn red and her heart palpitate. Not to mention that the Third Prince was a noble prince and his mother was a consort.

Not many women could resist such an identity.

Only then would the Duke Rong’s Residence dare to scheme against the daughter of an official openly. This was almost certain. Once it was done, the Yu Residence might have to thank the Duke Rong’s Residence for helping them find a good marriage.

These words flattered him. The Third Prince smiled. “That’s more like it. A private meeting between a man and woman alone will harm Eldest Miss Yu’s pure image. Later on, when I sincerely propose to marry her, everything will be logical. I won’t be that shameless person who destroys her reputation and forces her to marry me..”
