WTYTIAAN Chapter 47

Yan Yunqing’s face showed a surprised expression: “How could it be? This news was hard-earned inside information, it can’t be wrong!”

Yan Yunqing deliberately sized up the old man with a suspicious gaze, his eyes clearly revealing: Are you trying to trick me?

The old man couldn’t stand being provoked, and immediately became a little anxious: “That’s impossible! How could we not know if there’s any news from the Prince’s mansion? And old lady Taylor would definitely be the first to know, her son is a guard in the Prince’s mansion!”

“You’re right, aren’t you? Old lady!” The old man reached out and nudged the person next to him, “There’s no news about the Prince’s mansion hiring new maids, you shouldn’t have heard of it either, right?”

The old woman, Taylor in the old man’s words, frowned and echoed the old man’s words, “That’s right, my son is a guard in the Fifth Prince’s mansion, I haven’t heard from my son that the Prince’s mansion is hiring new maids.”

“You weren’t tricked, were you?”

Now it was Yan Yunqing’s turn to act anxious, he said repeatedly: “Impossible! How could this be? The person who gave me the news said that just recently, the Prince’s mansion hired a new maid, and they will be hiring a few more new maids soon!”

In order to show his anxious mood, the purple-skinned fruit he was holding in his hand was almost rotten, and the purple juice slid down his fingertips, but he didn’t feel it at all.

The old woman was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly realized: “Just hired a new maid… Ah! You wouldn’t be talking about Lady Nya, would you?”

Yan Yunqing paused, quickly compared in his mind, and confirmed.

This Nya should be Cornelia’s alias, it seems that she really took a fake name and mixed into the Prince’s mansion, luckily he didn’t directly say Cornelia’s name just now, but detoured for a long time and tried to get information from the side.

“Nya?” Yan Yunqing asked blankly, “I don’t know any Nya, is she the new maid?”

The old woman also learned from Yan Yunqing just now, looked around, beckoned to Yan Yunqing, and lowered her voice when he came over, “Oh, young man, you don’t understand, that’s not a newly hired maid, Lady Nya is the Fifth Prince’s this–”

As she spoke, the old woman held up two little fingers, the little fingers that looked like they were wrapped in a layer of old bark quickly touched each other, hooking together, “You know, that’s not a newly hired maid, she only entered the Prince’s mansion because she looks good!”

Yan Yunqing looked surprised: “Is that so? But why would that person tell me that she is a new maid hired by the Prince?”

The old man finally had his correctness verified, with a smug look on his face, he waved his hand, “Hey, isn’t that just to fool you ignorant people, those noble old men always like to play new tricks, beautiful girls are seen by them, that’s really a scourge.”

The old woman also nodded, very much agreeing with the old man’s statement, “Now every family in the capital city with a beautiful child, as long as they still want the child to have a good life in the future, hides them tightly, how could they send them to… that place!”

“You should often work outside, and don’t know much about that person’s affairs.”

“I advise you, if your sister looks okay, you should hide her well, don’t think about sending her there.” She shook her head and sighed, “I’ll give you this one piece of advice, that’s not a good place, people will die there!”

“Just like that Lady Nya, I see her going to the pharmacy every two days, buying a bunch of healing potions, I heard that there’s not a single good piece of meat on her body!”

Yan Yunqing lowered his eyes, and his dislike for the extremely lecherous Fifth Prince Fei Wu deepened.

He also showed a look of fear, “So that’s how it is, it’s a good thing I asked you, grandma, if I didn’t know anything, and just stuffed money to the steward to let my sister enter the Prince’s mansion, not to mention whether the money can be kept, I’m afraid my sister would have to be thrown in as well.”

Yan Yunqing let out a long breath, patted his chest, and looked at the old woman with admiration, “Grandma, you really have good sources of information, you must be the most knowledgeable person on this street!”

The old woman couldn’t close her mouth with laughter when she heard this, and waved her hands repeatedly, “No, no, I just know a little more than you young people, I’m older, my experience must be stronger than you young people! Otherwise, wouldn’t I have wasted these years?”

Yan Yunqing echoed repeatedly, the old man next to him snorted, seemingly looking down on the old woman’s boasting so much.

Yan Yunqing also praised the old man a few words along the way, directly smoothing the old man’s fur, making the whole person refreshed, the two of them, in order to compete for who was the most amazing and knowledgeable grandpa and grandma in Yan Yunqing’s heart, directly began to reveal some unknown inside information on the spot.

Yan Yunqing’s mouth was almost unable to be suppressed as he listened.

There is such a good thing?

Hey, that’s how good popularity is, sometimes it’s not that he necessarily wants to get it, it’s that the news has to be passed to him!

Yan Yunqing chatted with the old woman for a while, subtly extracting her son’s usual routine and some living habits, directly deducing the approximate patrol shift time of the Prince’s mansion based on this, and the old woman probably hadn’t reacted yet, she had unconsciously revealed the guard arrangement of the Prince’s mansion completely.

There was no way, the civilians in this world are still very simple, they probably can’t figure out how someone can deduce the Prince’s mansion’s daily patrol schedule through a guard’s usual routine and living habits.

Yan Yunqing, who was still full of enthusiasm, got five purple-skinned fruits that the old woman had packed for him, as well as a large handful of long-eared mushrooms, the two old people were still reluctant to let him go before leaving, wishing they could recognize him as a godson on the spot and have more contact in the future.

There was no way, anyone who met a young man who spoke so nicely, could be praised for whatever topic he talked about, could answer anything, and had such a good personality, would not be able to help but like him.

Yan Yunqing successfully retreated, pretending to be heading home normally, and once again circled around two times along an irregular route, confirming that no one was following behind, Yan Yunqing reunited with Lillian who had come back to play, and changed his outfit along the way.

The alibi is layered on top of each other, Yan Yunqing is now similar to an onion, peel off one layer of alibi and there is another layer of alibi waiting.

“I’ve almost figured out the Prince’s mansion’s guard patrol schedule, I’ll confirm it again tonight, if there are no accidents, we’ll sneak in tomorrow to find Cornelia first.”

Not sure if there are high-level guards in the Prince’s mansion, Yan Yunqing plans to be a little cautious, go find Cornelia first to ask about the specific situation, according to what the old woman said, Cornelia’s current situation can’t be considered good.

She has to come out to buy healing potions almost every few days, and there’s not a single good piece of skin exposed outside her clothes, it’s obvious that she has suffered some unspeakable abuse.

Yan Yunqing looks down on stupid men who beat women and children the most, but he also suspects that Cornelia is doing it on purpose, after all…

Yan Yunqing glanced at his game panel, the Cornelia column in the npc friends.

[Lv.60 Cornelia]

A level 60 Sea Clan mermaid, under the double debuff of magic restriction and dumbness, can also use her talent skills to repel an entire patrol squad of the auction house, what simple character could she be?

Yan Yunqing is very suspicious—no, he can basically confirm now that Cornelia is definitely planning something, that’s why she is pretending to be such a pitiful and helpless weak woman who can only rely on men.

However, what kind of thing requires her to pay such a high price to plan?

Yan Yunqing doesn’t quite understand, if it were him, no matter what kind of purpose he wanted to achieve, he would never let himself suffer so much.

Is it her sister?

No… Yan Yunqing, while chatting with the old woman, inquired countless times in a hidden way whether the Fifth Prince had ever brought back a mermaid, or something else special, but the old woman knew nothing about this.

This is obviously impossible, according to Fei Wu’s character, if he really brought a mermaid back, he would never hide the news so well, at least his guards should have heard something.

So Cornelia’s sister shouldn’t have been taken away by Fei Wu…

Yan Yunqing’s mind turned, if she wasn’t taken away by Fei Wu, but Cornelia still wants to approach him, does it mean that the person who took her sister is related to Fei Wu, and it’s easier to approach the other party by staying with Fei Wu?

Yan Yunqing leaned against the wall of the alley, feeling the darkness and dampness in this alley, his thoughts turned back and forth in his heart, but before the main person has made any answer, these are just his guesses.

Hey, as expected, he still has to find a chance to be honest with Cornelia, isn’t it good to exchange sincerity for sincerity? Why is he guessing so hard here!

Yan Yunqing pressed his throbbing temple, feeling that he seemed to have used his brain too much these days.

In the past eighteen years, he has never done reasoning with such high intensity every day, he has simply stimulated all his potential!

“Speaking of which, how did you get so much information?” Lillian asked curiously, “You even know the Prince’s mansion’s guard patrol schedule, this thing should be confidential, right?”

Yan Yunqing spread his hands, “Deducted it, some very practical little tricks.”

“This is what my parents once taught me.” Yan Yunqing thought of those past events, and the expression in his eyes couldn’t help but become gentle, with a few traces of nostalgia, “We used to play some small games often… well, deduce what this person has experienced recently from a person’s behavior, habits, and some characteristics temporarily displayed.”

This little game was initially that he watched anime when he was a child and felt that the skill of reasoning was very magical, and after his parents knew about it, they took the time to play this game with him, and slowly it became a habit.

This was the first time Lillian had heard Yan Yunqing mention his parents, and seeing the gentleness in Yan Yunqing’s eyes, she couldn’t help but say: “It sounds like a very interesting little game, um… then where are your parents now?”

Yan Yunqing lowered his eyes and smiled, “A few years ago, they died in the line of duty.”

Lillian repeated: “Died in the line of duty?”

There is no such saying in this world, Lillian can’t understand it very well.

Yan Yunqing changed his explanation, “Well, to describe it in your elven way, they chose to return to the Elven Mother Tree for their great ideals.”

Lillian asked: “Then have their ideals been realized?”

“Of course.” Yan Yunqing said softly, “Completely realized.”

Lillian smiled, “Then they must be very happy.”

Yes, very happy.

For elves, they are never afraid of death, if they can die to realize their ideals, then the soul that returns to the Elven Mother Tree is also happy and warm.

Time seemed to be quiet for a few seconds, and Yan Yunqing also hooked the corners of his mouth, recognizing Lillian’s statement, “I think so too.”

“Let’s go, let’s go see how Uncle Ryan is doing first, I don’t know if Uncle Ryan has woken up, I hope he’s still staying in the room honestly now, instead of running out to add trouble to us.”

Yan Yunqing put his hands in his pockets and took the lead to walk out, “Lillian, your sleeping magic effect shouldn’t be too bad, right?”

“Hey, are you questioning the magic of the great Lillian!” Lillian was very dissatisfied, “Let alone sleeping for a whole day, he can sleep for three days and three nights without any problems!”

“Uh, forget it then, he’ll starve to death alive like that…”
