After all, one would reap what one had sown. Prince Lei Ting was no different, right?

“Even so, I still think that things are not that simple. Although Prince Lei Ting is extremely ambitious, he doesn’t have the brains to do something like this.”

“Let’s punish him first,” An Jiuyue said.

Since they had yet to discover who else was behind this, they should deal with this person who wanted to subdue the 18 Stockaded Villages first.

In any case, they would kill whoever they found!

“Okay.” Qian Jiyun nodded. It was indeed time to punish Prince Lei Ting.

“I’ll make the arrangements for this. It’s better not to involve the 18 Stockaded Villages.”

“Sounds good.” An Jiuyue thought about it and nodded.

If the 18 Stockaded Villages got involved in their plan to make Prince Lei Ting contract the disease, it would give him a reason to cause trouble!

“You’ll make the arrangements then.”

They chatted for a while more before Elder Huang rushed in.

“Greetings, Prince Zhan Yun.”

Elder Huang bowed to Qian Jiyun before looking at An Jiuyue and speaking respectfully, “Young Master, what instructions do you have for me?”

“Elder Huang, have you been in contact with the 18 Stockaded Villages all these years?” An Jiuyue asked.

“The 18 Stockaded Villages?” Elder Huang frowned and glanced at Qian Jiyun.

When he noticed Prince Zhan Yun’s expression remained the same, he knew that Qian Jiyun had an extraordinary relationship with the Young Master.

“Before Master left, he instructed me not to have anything to do with the 18 Stockaded Villages. However, that was before you came. Since you’ve returned, I can contact the 18 Stockaded Villages,” he answered honestly.

The 18 Stockaded Villages were a large army known to all, while the Jade Kite Garden Villa was a force hidden in the shadows.

“Great.” An Jiuyue nodded in satisfaction.

“Prepare a brush and some ink. I’ll write a letter. Send someone to deliver it to Qi Gu, the chief of the 11th Village. There are some things he needs to do.”

“Yes, Young Master,” Elder Huang replied and immediately instructed someone to bring a brush and some ink.

After An Jiuyue wrote the letter, he personally sent his trusted aides to the 11th Village.

“Young Master, Prince Zhan Yun’s room is ready. Shall I order someone to bring him to wash up and rest?”

“Okay, I understand.”

An Jiuyue glanced at Qian Jiyun, who nodded at her and left with the servants.

After he left, Elder Huang looked at her seriously.

“Young Master, you and Prince Zhan Yun…”

They did not seem to have an ordinary relationship. If he was not mistaken, the Young Master lived in the countryside with his Master. How would she know someone like Prince Zhan Yun?

“Ahem.”

An Jiuyue coughed uncomfortably when she heard Elder Huang’s question.

Although she was unwilling to admit it, she had to admit that her relationship with Qian Jiyun was indelible.

“I was already married to Qian Jiyun before I met my father. However, something happened back then, and we were separated for a few years.”

“What?!” Elder Huang’s eyes almost popped out.

Is Young Master actually the Princess Consort of Zhan Yun? Did my Master casually find a princess consort to be his heir?

Although Qian Jiyun had not been conferred the title of Prince of the Second Rank at that time, Elder Huang had to admit that this young man had boundless prospects!

“Young Master, you… You and Prince Zhan Yun are…”
