Chun Tao subconsciously glanced back upon hearing this, only then did she see Ye Yunzhou. She was startled and quickly bowed to Ye Yunzhou, saying, "This servant greets the prince."

Ye Yunzhou nodded slightly, hummed softly, then looked at Aunt Zhang and instructed: "Take this box in and serve your young lady well."

Aunt Zhang stepped forward and quickly took the box. Upon hearing this, she and Chuntao replied in unison, "Yes."

Then, Ye Yunzhou turned his head and looked at Luo Shuiyao deeply, then turned and left.

After Ye Yunzhou's back completely disappeared, Luo Shuiyao gently called Chuntao and Aunt Zhang back to the yard.

Chun Tao and Aunt Zhang followed Luo Shui Yao and exchanged glances, both with doubt in their eyes. Aunt Zhang shook her head, signaling Chun Tao to be quiet. For a moment, the room was silent, with only the sound of their footsteps remaining.

Next door, Qiuliyuan.

Lu Zhaozhao sat at the table, fiddling with an unfinished headband. Hearing the report from the maid below, she narrowed her eyes, a stern look flashing in them, and asked in a cold voice, "Are you serious?"

A short old woman below knelt on her knees. Upon hearing Lu Zhaozhao's voice, she kowtowed again and said, "Reporting to the young lady: What this old servant said is absolutely true."

"The young lady next door went to the pavilion with the prince and stayed there for a long time. When they came out, they behaved very intimately. This old servant definitely couldn't have been mistaken."

Lu Zhaozhao stood up and casually tossed the headband into the embroidery basket beside her. A flicker of jealousy crossed her eyes. She glanced at the kneeling maid below and said, "You've done well. Go get a silver ingot from Madam Chu. And pay more attention to what's going on in the neighboring courtyard. If you treat me with the same sincerity you did today, you'll certainly get some benefits."

The old woman had been feeling a little uneasy because of her young lady's expression, but when she heard these words, she couldn't help but show joy on her face. She kowtowed repeatedly and thanked him: "Thank you, young lady, thank you, young lady."

Lu Zhaozhao waved her hand, signaling the woman to leave. When she was the only one left in the room, she turned her head to look at the yard next door, a cold look growing in her eyes.

Ever since Ye Yunzhou had stood up for Luo Shuiyao, Lu Zhaozhao had harbored suspicions. This time, upon Luo Shuiyao's return, Ye Yunzhou hurried back, even forcing her to apologize on her behalf. This fueled Lu Zhaozhao's suspicions to grow like wild weeds. When the Marquis's wife sent him back, she secretly sent her personal maid to follow him. The maid's short stature made her easy to conceal, and she was known for her cunning and perceptive nature. Lu Zhaozhao's suspicions had initially been only lingering, but she never imagined they would pan out. The relationship between the two must be significant.

But Luo Shuiyao was just a village girl, so why? In terms of looks, I wasn't much inferior to her; in terms of family background, I was far superior. Why couldn't I gain the favor of others? Even my aunt's heart was gradually leaning towards her, and she punished me for such a small matter.

Then she remembered her mother's dying words: "All men in this world are blind, they only look at appearances and don't care about a woman's inner qualities." Thinking of this, Lu Zhaozhao's hatred grew even stronger. She felt that the village girl, relying on her good looks to steal her favor, was truly despicable and deserved to die.

At this moment, she didn't think about it. When had Luo Shuiyao ever competed with her? In front of the Marquis's wife, Luo Shuiyao received far less than she did. If that was the case, how could she compete for favor? But she was blinded by jealousy and hatred and never thought about it.

Inside the Hidden Dragon Division, Ye Yunzhou walked into the yard with a sullen face.

Ye Yi naturally knew what he was going to do. Seeing this, he stepped forward and winked at Ye Yunzhou, saying, "Supervisor, can you see the person you want to see?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Yunzhou did not let him tease him as usual, but turned around and looked at him coldly.

Seeing this, Ye Yi immediately put away his smile and said hesitantly, "What's wrong? Is it not going well?"

"Let me ask you, when we held the welcoming banquet last time, I gave you a box and asked you to pass it on to Miss Luo. What did you do?"

Ye Yi scratched his head after hearing this and thought for a moment, "When I went to that courtyard, there were many female guests there, so I couldn't go in directly. I happened to meet a girl at the gate, so I asked her to pass the box to Miss Luo Biao."

Then, he looked at Ye Yunzhou in confusion, "But what's wrong?"

"come here."

Ye Yunzhou closed his eyes, then turned and walked towards the backyard, saying, "Come here."

Ye Yi's mind was full of thoughts, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. After hesitating for a while, he chased after him. When the two arrived at the training area in the backyard, there were several people practicing against each other. When they saw Ye Yunzhou coming, they all saluted and made way.

Ye Yunzhou ignored them, turned around and waved his hand to attack Ye Yi. Ye Yi had been on guard against him, and seeing this, he quickly flew backwards, but he didn't expect that he was still a little slow to retreat. Ye Yunzhou's fist brushed past his cheek. Before he could question him, Ye Yunzhou's fists fell like raindrops. Ye Yi dodged again and again, and was hit by several punches because he couldn't retreat in time.

"Oh, Governor, Prince, brother, I was wrong. What happened? Can you please tell me clearly? What did I do wrong?"

The two men fought back and forth, one punching and the other blocking, but Ye Yi was no match for Ye Yunzhou and was quickly defeated. He was kicked to the ground by Ye Yunzhou, and the wooden stake he was practicing on fell down behind him. He lay on the ground, looking at Ye Yunzhou and crying out in pain.

Ye Yunzhou had been holding back his anger all the way, but seeing Ye Yi's miserable appearance, his anger dissipated a little. He ignored him and turned to walk into the house, not forgetting to signal Ye Yi to follow him.

Ye Yi was a little scared, but he didn't dare to refuse. He got up, brushed off the dirt on his body, and followed him into the house with a grin on his face.

When the door closed, the Hidden Dragon Guards, who had been huddled in a corner, not daring to breathe, finally dared to move.

"What's going on? Why is the Inspector so angry today?"

"I don't know. Captain Ye must have made a big mistake, otherwise why would the Inspector General be like this? I've been in the Hidden Dragon Division for so long, and I've never seen the Inspector General so angry."

"Yeah, it's scary to watch."

"Forget it, let's train quickly. Don't miss the Inspector General for the next two days. We are not Captain Ye, who can stand up after being beaten like this."

Ignoring the whispers of the crowd, inside the house, Ye Yi stood at the doorway with his neck hunched, ready to bolt at any moment. Seeing him like this, Ye Yunzhou almost laughed out loud in anger and asked, "Do you know why I fought you?"

Ye Yi shook his head honestly: "I don't know."

Then, he asked in a very small voice, "Is it because of the box given to Miss Luo?"

"You know."

Ye Yunzhou glanced at him coldly, "I asked you to give the box to Miss Luo, why didn't you hand it to Miss Luo yourself? Why did you ask someone else to do it?"
