AMLFS Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Inside Line

Listening to their vague conversation, Song Huaixi curiously looked back and forth between the two of them.

Who wants to meet Prince Zhao Fangye of the Ning district?

He was really curious, turning his head to look at Zhao Fangye: “Who are you meeting?”

Last time, Zhao Fangye returned from seeing the Chancellor with injuries on his face. Song Huaixi couldn’t help but worry about him meeting people alone.

Bad things always happen after meeting the Chancellor.

Zhao Fangye is either scolded or beaten. Why does everyone want to bully Zhao Fangye?

“I want to go too.” Feeling uneasy, Song Huaixi grabbed his arm stubbornly, “I want to go too, Zhao Fangye.”

Seeing him worrying about him, Zhao Fangye felt a warmth in his heart. But it’s best if Song Huaixi doesn’t know about the people in the back courtyard.

He is innocent. That group of people in the back courtyard were sent by the Chancellor.

Who knows what they are thinking? It would be troublesome if they sow discord in front of Song Huaixi and say slanderous things.

What’s more, it would be even more of a loss if it caused Song Huaixi to misunderstand.

Reaching out to hold the hand he placed on his wrist, he gently squeezed it: “Huaixi doesn’t need to worry. This time I’m not meeting the Chancellor, it’s just a small matter.”

After reassuring Song Huaixi, Zhao Fangye and Deputy General Sun walked out together.

Zhao Fangye’s voice was cold: “In the future, don’t mention things like this in front of the Wangfei.”

Deputy General Sun then realized his negligence and quickly clasped his fist to apologize: “This subordinate was negligent.”

Walking to the side room in the back courtyard, Zhao Fangye sat on the chair in front of the main courtyard’s gate. Deputy General Sun stepped forward and released the people imprisoned in the side room.

After so many days, the people inside lived in the cramped side room, with no one to serve them and no change of clothes.

None of them had the glamorous appearance they had when they first entered the Ning Wang Mansion; they all looked a little disheveled.

Standing in the middle of the courtyard, this group of people finally saw the Prince of the Ning district they had been longing to see.

Zhao Fangye, dressed in a black robe, sat under the corridor, exuding a sense of aloofness that kept people away.

His thin lips were tightly pressed together, and his deep eyes flashed with coldness.

The crowd looked up at the handsome and majestic Prince of the Ning district under the corridor. The flames of ambition that had died down in their hearts were now rekindled.

They didn’t expect the powerful and influential Prince of the Ning district to have such a captivating appearance.

No wonder he is known as the Jade-faced Rakshasa.

If they could gain his favor…

Just as the crowd was scheming in their hearts, Zhao Fangye’s cold gaze swept over them.

His tone was indifferent and casual: “I don’t care what you are planning in your hearts. It’s still time to leave the mansion now. If you insist on pestering me, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

As soon as these words came out, the flames that had risen in the hearts of the crowd were immediately extinguished.

It was rumored that Zhao Fangye was cold and aloof, and they had now witnessed it.

How could anyone not enjoy the beauties who were delivered to their door, but instead imprison them in the servants’ side room for several days without any dignity?

They dared not speak out their anger.

Being treated like this, they of course understood Zhao Fangye’s meaning. Being locked up for a few days was already considered polite.

Today, Zhao Fangye came to see them was a direct statement.

If they were still ignorant of the situation, it wouldn’t be as simple as being locked up for a few days.

Therefore, the crowd quickly put away their thoughts and knelt on the ground: “We beg Your Highness to show mercy. We will leave the mansion immediately.”

“Deputy General Sun.”

“Yes, Your Highness, I will handle it immediately.”

After speaking, Deputy General Sun led the group out of the courtyard. Among the crowd, a beautiful man stood still, his expression solemn and not following the crowd out.

Deputy General Sun circled back and walked to his side: “What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and leave!”

The man was extremely beautiful. The people the Chancellor sent over were all of extraordinary beauty. But this man still stood out among the beauties.

Even though he had been imprisoned in the side room for several days, he only had slightly disheveled hair and wrinkled clothes.

His whole temperament was cold, and a slightly messy outfit added a bit of charm to him.

Facing Deputy General Sun’s urging, his delicate eyebrows directly ignored him, his gaze nervously looking at Zhao Fangye under the corridor.

Faced with the complex emotions in his eyes, if it were an ordinary person, he would have been infatuated long ago at the sight of the beauty’s frowning.

But Zhao Fangye’s cold eyes did not have the slightest fluctuation.

Deputy General Sun couldn’t stand his foxy appearance of seducing the master, and reached out to pull his clothes to take him out. But unexpectedly, he didn’t know where he got the strength.

Suddenly breaking free from Deputy General Sun, he ran towards Zhao Fangye.

With a thud, he knelt at Zhao Fangye’s feet, his deliberately delicate voice choked with sobs: “Please, Your Highness, take me in. If I go back like this, I will only be doomed. Your Highness!”

Zhao Fangye looked at the person at his feet, his face showing disgust: “Why should I care about your life or death? Deputy General Sun!”

Deputy General Sun quickly stepped forward to pull him away, the man’s face panicked: “Your Highness! Your Highness, save me! I was forced. If I am driven back, my mother’s life will not be spared! Please, Your Highness, have mercy…”

Sitting in the chair, Zhao Fangye was unmoved. What does his mother’s life have to do with him?

Deputy General Sun grabbed the person’s collar and dragged him out, without the slightest feeling of cherishing the fairer sex.

Seeing that it was not working, the man immediately hugged the stone bench beside him and refused to let go.

He thought he would go all out and take a gamble!

He shouted anxiously at Zhao Fangye: “Your Highness! Your Highness, listen to me! I know that the Chancellor sent people to monitor Your Highness. Even if Your Highness sends us away, there will be more spies coming in. Since that’s the case, why doesn’t Your Highness keep me? Your Highness!”

“Interesting.”

Hearing his words, Zhao Fangye raised an eyebrow and raised his hand to Deputy General Sun: “Release him, bring him over.”

Immediately stopping the dragging action, Deputy General Sun lifted him up and brought him to Zhao Fangye.

The man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body softening.

Kneeling on the ground, he straightened his clothes, his beautiful face looking serious.

There was not a trace of affectation. He was clearly pretending just now.

Zhao Fangye noticed the change in his expression. He was a smart person.

He asked in a low voice, “What’s your name?”

“Replying to Your Highness, my name is Liang Xiuzhu.”

“Liang Xiuzhu? Is your father the Vice Minister Liang Zhiyi?”

Liang Xiuzhu replied: “That is indeed my father.”

Zhao Fangye chuckled and stood up: “What you said just now, what’s that about?”

Liang Xiuzhu smiled bitterly: “Replying to Your Highness, I am the son of a concubine in my family. My mother came from a brothel and has never been liked by my father. Life in the family is difficult. She has also suffered from the persecution of the main wife and suffered from an illness in her early years. She relies on the family to avoid passing away.”

“I heard that the Chancellor was looking for handsome sons from noble families, so my father threatened me with my mother’s life and asked me to gain a foothold in the Wang mansion and act as a matchmaker for the legitimate son of the family.”

After speaking, Liang Xiuzhu immediately said again, noticing that Zhao Fangye’s eyes were unmoved.

“Before coming, the Chancellor told us that we must win Your Highness’s favor, and we must also pay attention to monitoring the movements of the Wang mansion. Even if Your Highness drives us away, there will be others coming. This humble one is willing to be Your Highness’s inside line, please Your Highness keep this humble one.”

Looking at Liang Xiuzhu kneeling on the ground, Zhao Fangye’s eyes showed a playful look: “Raise your head.”

A beautiful face came into view, and Zhao Fangye suddenly curled his lips.

Not bad, a good chess piece.

He said to him: “You can stay. I only need you to do one thing. That is to fabricate stories of you being favored in the Wang mansion, and then pass the information to the Chancellor.”
