Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhou Linghuai thought for a while. “About three to five years?”

Mr. Xian Yun wanted to vomit blood. “You’re also ambitious. Such a big piece of fat meat is in front of you. Why don’t you eat it? Why do you have to give it to others?”

Zhou Linghuai looked at his leg. “It’s broken. I have enough to deal with.”

Mr. Xian Yun already had a deep understanding of Yin Huaixi’s sinister nature.

If he didn’t want to do it, he would dig a hole and let others do it.

In the future, when the King of Dongning became powerful, he would suppress the King of Dongning who had “done wicked things”. He would join forces with the remaining power of the clan and reap everything that the King of Dongning had worked so hard to manage in Ludong without any effort.

At that time, Ludong’s remaining clan forces would definitely be grateful to him and voluntarily join forces to help him!

How could there be such a sinister person in this world?

He would let others do all the bad things and get all the benefits.

Mr. Xian Yun couldn’t help but say, “Does Little Miss Yu know that you’re so sinister?”

Zhou Linghuai was smug. “This isn’t called sinister. This is called resourceful. If she finds out, she’ll only praise me for being amazing.”

Although he had schemed many times, he had not done a single bad thing. If others fell into his trap, it would be because they were too stupid. He could not be blamed.

He had always been the little girl’s most powerful and favorite cousin.

How could she do such dirty things?

Mr. Xian Yun was speechless.

She couldn’t help but pity the King of Dongning. Yin Huaixi was already thinking about him before he even conquered the east. How tragic!

But!

At the thought of King Ping, who had been forced to send his heir into the capital to be a hostage, he felt that King Dongning did not seem to be that miserable. Then, he thought of himself, who had accidentally become a chess piece. It seemed to be alright?

At the thought of this, Mr. Xian Yun felt much better. Looking at the kid in front of him again, he was no longer as displeased as before.

Indeed, people were all based on comparison.

However, the problem was that a certain sinister person was still shaking his head and sighing. “If I hadn’t taken such a big detour and let Li Qiguang defeat the 100,000-strong army of the Imperial Court, I wouldn’t have taken such a big detour and given Ludong to King Dongning first. You have to know that King Dongning is much harder to deal with than Li Qiguang. Sigh…”

However, if he did not ask for a decree to suppress the rebellion in Shandong, the 100,000-strong army of the Imperial Court would innocent citizens would be implicated.

definitely lose.

At that time, Li Qiguang would be in power, and the rebels would be famous. The entire country would really be in chaos, and many innocent citizens would be implicated.

The little girl had told him that when she was young, Grandmaster Hui Neng had once said, “A righteous person can reach nirvana!”

After Mr. Xian Yun saw the little girl, he also said, “If you can do good deeds, you will definitely be able to have a good ending!”

Actually, this was nothing much.

However, these two people were both people of great virtue in the current world. Ordinary people could not compare. However, Yu Youyao was just a young lady. Be it her family background or experience, she was not outstanding. Her fate actually aligned with his.

This was definitely not a coincidence.

Coincidentally, the fates that the two of them obtained were similar. They both pointed out the word “virtue.”

He did not believe in fate, but he also believed in the karma of the world.

There was a cause and an effect. If the young lady wanted to do good deeds, she would definitely receive good karma. Whether it was true or not, as her cousin, he naturally had to fulfill it.

In that case, he could only work harder and take a trip to Shandong to achieve his goal.

Mr. Xian Yun did not want to say this anymore, because every word this kid said made him feel like his intelligence was in danger. He changed the topic. “Where’s Little Miss Yu? Why haven’t I seen her?”

In the past, every time he returned to the residence, Yu Youyao would inevitably come over when she received the news.

Zhou Linghuai rubbed the incense beads on his wrist. “She went to school.”

Mr. Xian Yun nodded. He had heard that Yu Youyao was smart and learned everything quickly. In order to take care of the other young misses in the residence, Ms. Ye asked her to attend home classes every three days.

As the two of them spoke, they saw Yu Youyao rushing into the Green House.

Zhou Linghuai put down his teacup and was about to tell her to run slower or she would fall when he heard—

Yu Youyao panted and said, “Cousin, it’s all over the news. There’s a large-scale rebellion in Shandong. No one in the court is willing to lead troops to suppress it. The heir, Yin Huaixi, is in the golden hall. He asked to pass a decree to go to Shandong to quell the rebellion…”

After receiving the news from the home school, she rushed to the Green House.

The weather was so hot but she did not even use an umbrella. Her sparkling face was red from the sun, and her forehead and the tip of her nose were covered in sweat.

Zhou Linghuai quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

Yu Youyao was thirsty and hot. She took the teacup and poured it into her mouth. After drinking it, she asked, “Cousin, what exactly is going on? You…” She suddenly stopped talking and glanced at Mr. Xian Yun, who was sitting at the side and slowly drinking tea. She swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and bowed slightly. “Why are you suddenly here?”

The little girl was guarding against him! Mr. Xian Yun found it funny. “Yes, like you, I received news from the Imperial Court, so I specially came to look for your cousin.”

He deliberately emphasized the title of “cousin” and even slowed down his speech.

Yu Youyao was smart, so how could she not understand the meaning behind his words? However, she pretended not to understand. “Didn’t you say that you’re idle and don’t care about the matters of the royal court?”

Although she did not ask her cousin and he did not say anything explicitly, she could most likely guess that Mr. Xian Yun had long guessed his cousin’s identity as the heir of King You, Yin Huaixi. That was why he had sent a greeting card to the residence to see her cousin.

The changes in the royal court were more or less plotted by her cousin.

Mr. Xian Yun must have played a role in it.

Therefore, it was fine even if she exposed her cousin’s identity in front of Mr. Xian Yun.

But!

There were many things that even if she knew, she did not want others to interfere.

Mr. Xian Yun choked and laughed dryly. “Haha, we were just chatting casually.”

“Then are you done chatting?” Yu Youyao asked. Seeing that Mr. Xian Yun’s teacup was empty, she picked up the teapot and twirled it from right to right, filling a cup of tea until it was 70% full.

Mr. Xian Yun was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at her. “I’m done talking. I’m leaving.”

Turning the teacup clockwise is a tactful way of seeing off guests in the tea ceremony etiquette. It indicates that the host has something to do and invites the guests to leave quickly.

This brat. It was as if everyone knew who she was. Even Young Master Yin did not guard against her.

Yet, she was chasing him away. Hmph!

After Mr. Xian Yun left angrily, Yu Youyao immediately asked worriedly, “Cousin, are you really going to Shandong to calm the chaos? I heard that there are many clans in Shandong that are intertwined. The situation is very complicated. The Great Zhou Dynasty has sent troops to suppress it several times in the past and many generals have died in Shandong. How can you invite yourself to calm the chaos in Shandong?”
