Cang Yile sighed in frustration, "What on earth does the master want to do today?"
The old man tilted his head and raised it high, "Hmph! Quickly teach me how to win back your Master's Wife!"
Cang Yile replied in an exasperated tone, "I don't have time right now. I need to go back for a bit; if I disappear for too long, those maids in the residence will start to suspect something. Since you're here, it's perfect timing. I'm in need of a capable fighter lately..."
Before he could finish, the old man swiftly drew his sword and appeared right in front of Cang Yile in an instant, "You little Disciple, it seems I have to teach you a lesson! Look at my sword!"
However, the old man seemed to remember something serious. With one hand holding the sword and the other scratching his head, he said, "Disciple, your place is crawling with palace spies. Are we still planning to proceed with the next steps?"
Cang Yile smirked mischievously, "We can skip it. You can handle this plan on your own; I'm going back to take a nap!"
"Get lost!" The old man kicked at Cang Yile's backside.
Cang Yile seemed to anticipate the old man's peculiar habit of kicking people, so he quickly dodged the attack.
"Master, stop fooling around! Canglong Hui is set to marry the Second Lady of the Xia Residence as Consort Wang, but now there's been a scandal involving her and her lover at such a critical moment. If you think about it, this is aimed at the Second Lady of the Xia Residence. But if we look at it from a broader perspective, with me returning to the capital just as this happens, who do you think Canglong Hui will blame?"
The old man sheathed his hidden dagger and placed his hands on his hips, "Of course it's you! Who told you to have such bad luck!"
Cang Yile was speechless, "Are you really my master? Forget it; don't call me Disciple anymore. I don't recognize you as my master!"
"Am I wrong? From the very beginning, that Dog Emperor has looked down on you. Now that you've returned and this happens, it's definitely a trap set by that Dog Emperor to test whether you have ambitions for the throne! Just look at you; coming back has already caused so much trouble. How good can your luck be?"
"Isn't your luck just as bad? You were kicked out of your home by Master's Wife! Hmm, looks like we make quite a pair!"
"Cut! Who do you think you're compatible with?" The old man's facial expression twitched slightly. "Wait, let me think. What message was I supposed to convey to you? Shut up, no talking!"
After a while, the old man fell completely silent. His quiet demeanor as he stroked his beard gave the impression of a wise elder, profound and unfathomable, contrasting sharply with his usual frivolous self.
However, this is the true nature of Fuyazi!
Seeing the old man becoming serious, Cang Yile put away his previous casualness and showed a bit more respect. "Master, do you have something on your mind?"
"Yes, I actually came back mainly to tell you something. I learned by chance on my way that General Xia will be returning soon. It struck me as odd, so I hurried here to inform you about it. Everything is for your sake!"
"By the way, I have another concern..."
Cang Yile asked with concern, "What is it? Is it serious?"
The old man looked up into Cang Yile's eyes, which were half a head taller than his own, and said seriously, "Serious, very serious, extremely serious!"
Cang Yile's heart tightened. "Could it be that this secret mobilization of General Xia is to deal with me? If that's the case, then the one behind this scheme is likely the Emperor."
"It definitely can't be Canglong Hui. From what I know of him, he still needs to rely on Xia Manor's military strength to solidify his position in court. His intention is to hope for a marriage alliance between the Xia Family and the royal family. But the Emperor is different! Although the Emperor treats Canglong Hui well, he has an extremely narrow mind and is deeply inscrutable. Who can truly fathom his thoughts? Perhaps his affection for Canglong Hui is just superficial?"
The old man shook his head vigorously. "No, no, that's not it. It's that Disciple wants to teach me how to win back Master's Wife..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cang Yile nearly choked on his own saliva. "Master, you really are quite unorthodox!"
After finishing this sentence, he unceremoniously left the old man behind and hurried away...
His disciple, Cang Yile, had followers spread across the world. Whenever something significant happened anywhere, he would know about it immediately. Now, even he was unaware of the news that General Xia had secretly returned at this time; it must be something serious! Therefore, he had to get to the bottom of it!
...
At this moment, at Xia Manor.
After a fierce battle, Xia Yuhan took a moment to rest but suddenly felt restless. No matter how hard she tried to force herself to sleep, she just couldn't find peace.
She decided to get up and aimlessly stroll through the bamboo garden in front of her room to enjoy the scenery.
She always felt as if something was weighing down on her heart, making her chest feel heavy. There was an odd feeling that she couldn't quite pinpoint.
They had been resting here for a while, and no one had come to cause trouble; was it because they were too well-behaved?
No, it shouldn't be just that; it was the heaviness and unease in her heart.
At that moment, a few maidservants happened to pass by their residence. From a distance, they heard laughter and saw them occasionally glancing over with mocking expressions as they walked by.
Xia Yuhan had long since stopped caring about such looks. She had no mood to quarrel with a group of maidservants and simply chose to ignore their existence once again, sinking back into her thoughts.
Now that her purity was tarnished and her reputation ruined, with the failed marriage alliance between Xia Manor and the royal family, it seemed that the biggest beneficiaries were Madam of Xia Manor and Xia Wan'er. Therefore, they were very likely the culprits who had set her up.
She couldn't help but marvel at how clever this Madam was, able to set up such a grand scheme!
Even the return of General Xia was included in the plan!
But could it really be possible for just the two of them, mother and daughter, to orchestrate such a large plot?
And wasn't Xue'er saying that General Xia would be back in a few days? Why were the people at Xia Manor so relaxed? Shouldn't they be busy preparing to welcome General Xia?
Although she didn't know exactly when the General would return, logically speaking, the people at Xia Manor should have been ready to receive him and clean up.
Now seeing the servants at Xia Manor so leisurely, did they not know that General Xia was coming back?
Hmm... there seems to be only one explanation for this!
Wait! What about Xue'er? Where was she? Why hadn't she seen Xue'er since earlier?
Xia Yuhan suddenly felt something was off. Without hesitation, she rushed into their three rooms, but after searching everywhere, she still couldn't find Xue'er.
