Chapter 318
318 Qin Huai’s Plans
Duke Yong was not in a hurry to see his daughter anymore after encountering such a disgusting thing. He quickly went to coax his wife.
The Duchess sneered and said, “I think Lord Duke is enjoying yourself very much. I won’t disturb your mood.”
With that, the Duchess turned around and left.
“Aiya, it’s not like you don’t know. That little girl rushed up on her own just now. Your husband is innocent!” Duke Yong really felt that he had accidentally provoked her.
He already had many grandchildren. Why would he be interested in a little girl?
Was a young girl as fun as weapons? Was she as nice to look at as military books?
Moreover, who would have an appetite for such a pitiful little girl!
The Duchess didn’t listen. She took a step to the side and said, “Don’t touch me. It’s bad luck.”
Duke Yong: “…I also feel unlucky.”
What was going on?!
There was nothing to do and people were easily bored in this era. At the meal table, folks like to talk about the new incidents of each family. The matter of Duke Yong being seduced by a little girl on the street quickly spread throughout Wanning City.
That afternoon, some treasures were bestowed from the palace and sent to the Duke Yong Manor.
They were sent to calm Duke Yong down.
Duke Yong’s face turned green when he saw the green jade pendants.
He could even imagine how happy the Emperor was when he heard the news in the palace.
That was a naughty boy!
Duke Yong went to take a shower in a huff and washed himself a few times. Then, he shamelessly went to appease the Duchess a few times.
Only then did the Duchess look a little better.
Of course, she knew what kind of person her husband was, but she had to display some anger when she needed to be angry.
She can’t really let the matter go just because she was magnanimous. Men are blockheads. If you let it go once or twice, he’ll gradually feel that you don’t care about such things.
As time passed, it was not a long-term way for a couple to get along.
Duke Yong didn’t know what the Duchess was thinking, but he looked at his wife who had finally calmed down. Only then did he dare to talk to her about serious matters.
“What did that little girl say on the way here? She knows something we don’t know. Do you think it’s a secret related to the Duke An Manor? He even said that King Xiaoyao is a pervert.” Duke Yong was full of questions. “What is a pervert?”
The Duchess said, “She’s already been sent to prison. What she should know and what she shouldn’t know is none of your business. Anyway, the Imperial Family has their own decision. This matter involves the Duke Yong Manor and the Duke An Manor. The two families can’t interfere. Let the Imperial Family handle it.”
Duke Yong was relieved.
The two families had never been on good terms, but every time, the Emperor was on his side.
Even if the Imperial Concubine was best friends with the Empress Dowager, it could not stop the Emperor from favoring the Duke Yong Manor more.
Qin Huai also found out about this. Originally, he was not interested in the girl who had teased his grandfather.
Until Chi Jia told him, “Young Master, the woman imprisoned is called Xie Changsheng. I’ve already found out that she was the one who sent Miss Ah Yu to the snow mountain.”
Qin Huai suddenly stopped writing and the ink on the paper turned into a black blob.
He put the brush aside and asked softly, “Can she come out?”
Chi Jia knew that the Young Master was asking if he could bring her out.
He was a little hesitant. “That girl is being held as a felon. It won’t be easy to get her out. There will be traces left behind.”
It was not easy to break into the prison. Even if they were well-trained guards, less than ten percent of them would survive.
If they died, so be it, but the corpses of their own people could not be brought out. In the end, they would definitely be tracked down, implicating the Young Master and Duke Yong Manor.
Qin Huai lowered his eyes. “Got it. You don’t have to do anything.”
If she could come out alive.
He would definitely make her regret that she was still alive.
