Chapter 32: Xue Pan Causes Trouble

  The room fell silent as Daiyu's face changed, and Lin Fang looked up at her, "Miss, Mr. Xue from the Xue family is flirting with Miss Ye in the wine tower, it's getting out of hand."

  "What's with Ye You?" Daiyu's mouth curled up in a sarcastic smile. This Xue Pan was notorious for his love of beautiful women, but Miss Ye really had nothing better to do, did she? Would she have coincidentally gone to Lin's wine tower? Daiyu glanced at Lin Fang, and Lin Fang nodded slightly, as if he understood. Indeed, it was like that - Ye You had intentionally sought him out, but unexpectedly ended up being teased instead.

  "Has Ye Xie also gone?" Daiyu also had an interest in going to watch the play.

  "There isn't, but Miss Ye has already sent someone to invite him. Xue Tan heard about Miss Ye's identity and kept making sarcastic remarks, saying she was a three-nothing beauty, no musical talent, no chess skills, and no literary talent. If he had known it was her, he wouldn't even have bothered to flirt with her, it would have been a waste of his eyes." Lin Fang said with suppressed laughter, these two people were not good stuff, one was extremely lustful, a spoiled son, the other was arrogant, framing and bullying others.

  Is Xue Pan still a bit capable? Daiyu not only secretly thought in her heart, but also had quite a big temper, she was curious about how Baochai would deal with it. Flirting with this year's candidate for the imperial harem, Xue Pan's troubles are not small indeed.

  "Miss wants to go and take a look?" Lin Fang understood Daiyu's meaning and suggested going.

  "How can this be? How can Miss go out in public like that?" Xue Yan angrily said, staring fiercely at Lin Fang, while Zi Juan's eyes were filled with murderous intent as she looked at Lin Fang, actually allowing Miss to go to such a chaotic place, what kind of heart did he have, she absolutely couldn't let him off.

  "Is the princess going out?" A familiar, gentle and elegant voice sounded, Daiyu's face turned cold. Originally, it was a discussion with someone who should be on her own side, but at this time, an outsider suddenly intervened. Daiyu looked towards the door with a cold face, really, like a ghost that won't scatter, they all came to report again. Seeing the person who came, Daiyu thought of that Pixiu again, which was still in Zi Juan's hands.

  As expected, after entering, he first swept his eyes over Daiyu's desk and didn't see the Pixiu he had sent her, feeling a little disappointed. However, with another glance, he saw that Zijuan was holding it in her hand. His expression sank for an instant, and dissatisfaction arose in his heart, but this change only lasted for a moment before he quickly recovered. He wouldn't ruin his image in front of Daiyu.

  "Your humble servant greets the Eighth Prince." "This humble one greets the Eighth Prince." Zixia, Lin Fang and Xueyan all knelt down to pay their respects, saying. "Get up, all of you," Yongzheng said with a smile.

  "What brought Baoyu here?" Daiyu came out from behind the desk, walked over and sat down. Xueyan handed her a cup of tea and went to prepare Yichun's tea.

  "Just passing by, came to see the princess. By the way, is the princess going out? I'll accompany you, how about that?" Yinxiang volunteered, is it the imperial merchant Xue family? Since it's an imperial merchant, some news should be available from Ninth Brother. The current Yintang has already made a small attempt in the business world, although without much influence, relying on his identity as a prince and his own clever mind, he has achieved some success, dug out his first pot of gold, of course, Kangxi is extremely dissatisfied with this, but hasn't restricted Yintang from doing so, which can be considered a tacit approval, maybe Kangxi also thinks that Yintang's enthusiasm will pass and he won't do such things again, but Kangxi is definitely wrong this time, his ninth son has already been tied to the business world, and destined to be trampled by Daiyu, of course, this is a later story."

  Daiyu gazed coldly at Yongqi, making him feel a chill run down his back and become somewhat restless. He could only pick up his teacup and use drinking tea as an excuse to alleviate his own awkwardness. As Yongqi continuously drank tea, Daiyu simply observed coldly, creating an extremely eerie atmosphere. After all, from an outsider's perspective, it seemed like Daiyu was making Yongqi feel embarrassed by staring at him without moving.

  When Yīn Xī was getting restless, Dài Yu smiled and said "Let's go." Dài Yu stood up and walked out, but Yīn Xī was stunned and didn't move for a long time. It wasn't until Lín Fāng coughed to remind him that he finally came back to himself and chased after Dài Yu.

  Yongqi ran a few steps ahead, leading the way. "Is the princess also interested in doing business?" Yongqi regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth. How did he suddenly become so foolish? As a renowned scholarly family, Daiyu would naturally look down on merchants. What was he thinking?

  For half a day, Daiyu didn't say a word, and Yinxiang thought she was angry, feeling somewhat annoyed with his own behavior, so he didn't dare to say anything. In fact, Daiyu just didn't want to talk to Yinxiang, and the two of them walked silently. Naturally, many people saw this, and Yinxiao rushed into Yinqian's room like a gust of wind.

  "Fourth Brother is no more!" Yunxiang cried out loudly.

  Yongzheng, who was reading a book, furrowed his brow and looked up at his younger brother, waiting for an explanation.

  "Fourth brother, Eighth brother has gone out with the princess." Yixin observed the change in Yongzheng's expression and indeed saw his face change slightly. It seemed that he had guessed correctly, but Eighth brother was too detestable, and this also had to be competed for with Fourth brother.

  Yin Zhen didn't say a word, and directly put down the book to walk out. "Fourth brother, where are you going?" Yin Xiang suddenly realized and rushed out, following behind Yin Zhen's back, only to find that he was heading towards Daiyu's study.

  "Huh? Fourth brother, why aren't you chasing after them, what are you doing going to the study?" Yunxiang called out in puzzlement. But Yinzhen didn't pay him any mind and just walked towards the study.

  The purple quail left behind was helping Daiyu pack things up, thinking that she would casually throw the Pixiu of Yunzhong into the box and cover it. However, he was seen by the sharp-eyed Yunzhan, who walked into the study and smelled a familiar scent, with a smile on his face. If not for the master's intention, even the bravest person wouldn't dare to randomly place things sent by people in the imperial palace. This only proves one thing: Daiyu has no interest in her eighth brother, and today she just happened to go out with him.

  "Please give my regards to the Fourth Prince." Zhen Cai came forward, "The Eighth Prince has gone out with the Princess." Zhen Cai emphasized that if Miss had provoked a fight between the princes of the royal family, it would be even better. Zhen Cai was secretly plotting in her heart, but she didn't know that her plan was too obvious and was detected by Yongzheng at a glance.

  Baoyu glanced at Xiangyun without leaving any trace, turned around and left Daiyu's study. Leaving only Xiangyun alone mysteriously wondering what the Fourth Master came for?

  "Fourth brother..." Xiangxiang ran over, and in his haste, he bumped into Yongzheng. Seeing that he had changed direction again, Xiangxiang was even more perplexed. Daiyu had already left, and it was strange enough that Fourth Brother had come to her study; now where was he going? Xiangxiang's mind was filled with doubts, but he could only follow along.

  On the other hand, Daiyu and Yinxiang had secretly arrived at the wine tower, which was a well-known property of the Lin family, and Daiyu did not keep it from Yinxiang.

  "What's going on?" Daiyu looked at the shopkeeper, and they first arrived at a private room and sat down.

  "Yè Dàren's men wanted to take people away, but the Xue family's people wouldn't let them. The two groups of people got into a fight and now they've all been taken away by Yáng Píng, the new prefect of Yangzhou." said the shopkeeper in a measured tone.

  Daiyu sneered, she was somewhat looking forward to it.
