“That should be the Northern General, Duan Huai.” Xue Yan lowered his voice, using a volume that only Jiang Yue and Sifu could hear. “I’ve seen his portrait before.”
This was naturally a lie. He had clearly met Duan Huai in his previous life.
To prevent Xue Sifu from discovering that something was wrong with him, he covered it up with a lie.
Jiang Yue understood.
Sure enough, Xue Sifu didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with what Xue Yan said. He just ate the fried pancakes in his hands even more slowly as he smiled at Princess Jin and Duan Huai. Only when Princess Jin and Duan Huai turned at the fork in front and went to another street as if they were going to Duan Huai’s manor, did he retract his gaze. With a smile, he asked the two children with a meaningful look, “Do you think I have a chance of winning?”
“He’s already married.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s eyes met.
“Then it’s fine.” Xue Sifu immediately said. His smile instantly widened.
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue just looked at each other.
Now that they were on the street, it was not a good place to talk about Princess Jin. They did not continue until they returned to the inn. In the room, Xue Sifu stroked his chin and pondered. “Do you think the princess knows that Prince Yi is in Duan Huai’s manor? Doesn’t seem like it. If she knew, she wouldn’t be talking and laughing so much with Duan Huai. Duan Huai must be very bold. Not only did he hide Prince Yi in the manor, he even dared to bring the princess around. Isn’t he afraid that the princess would find out? As the Emperor’s trusted aide, Duan Huai should have heard about Prince Yi inciting Prince Ying to betray him, right? I can’t believe he still dared to do this after knowing all of that… Could it be that the person in the courtyard isn’t Prince Yi?”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan shook their heads, indicating that it was definitely Prince Yi.
After all, if it wasn’t Prince Yi, then who else would it be in the courtyard? How could he know everything about Xinyuan so well that he would use such a method to bring Doctor Shen here? There was no one else in the world that would plan it like this — it was definitely Prince Yi.
Xue Sifu understood what the two children meant. He thought for a moment and said, “Then he must have lost his mind. He knew that he shouldn’t have brought her here, but he did. But I’m sure that his people are not allowed to reveal anything to the princess. I’m sure of it.” He sighed exaggeratedly. “I’m also very certain that he likes the princess.” Then, he lowered his voice and said, “Can we tell her that we’re here? If I can, I’ll go and stop her. We’ve already met twice, but we haven’t spoken.”
Although Princess Jin and Sifu weren’t a couple in this lifetime, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had already treated Princess Jin as their sister-in-law.
Moreover, they were sure that Sifu and Princess Jin would be together in their lifetime.
Since they were sure…
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nodded.
“Alright, I’ll go then.” Xue Sifu’s smile immediately widened. He got up and opened the door. He went downstairs and left the inn.
Hidden guards were keeping an eye on the surroundings.
Sifu was smart enough to not get in trouble so they were not worried. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were quite relieved that Sifu would go out just like that.
Xue Yan only silently went to close the door again. When he sat down on the stool again, he met Jiang Yue’s gaze.
It was a good time for Sifu and Princess Jin to cultivate their relationship.
Sifu only had a good impression of Princess Jin now. At most, he was a little infatuated with her. Princess Jin probably had similar feelings for Sifu, but they were not as deep as Sifu’s.
