Princess and the General

is naturally believed everything that she said, thus he expelled me from the manor.”

Yin Shuo fell silent for a while then nodded.

Naturally, there would be some distorting of the facts by Qi Ting.
He ignored some extraneous reasons and ended up with an understanding of the sequence of events.

“Then having served her for so long, do you have any insights into her identity?”

“Identity? She is a disciple of Immortals Valley.
She’s an immortal practitioner of poison.
She also has a maidservant who has served her since childhood named Yao Lan, who also came from Immortals Valley.
Is young sir Yin asking about this?”

Yao Lan, Yao Hong.

It was no wonder Qi Ting hated Yu Fu so much.

He shook his head, “Aside from her coming from Immortals Valley, what else do you know?”

Could it be that Yu Fu had some other identity?

Qi Ting shook her head, and sure enough, Yin Shuo revealed a look of disappointment.

No, she was finally able to escape from the countryside and return to the capital.
She did not want to go back!

Like a piece of flint causing a spark, she suddenly recalled something and let out a cry.

“I remembered, young sir Yin!”

Qi Ting suddenly said: “On the day that I left Marquis Gu’s Manor, she had Yao Lan bring me my things.
At the time, I was feeling resentful and said some rude things.
Yao Lan saw that there was nobody else around and said that young miss Yu Fu’s status is something that only Princess DanYang could compete with.”

Princess DanYang?

Connecting this to Kun WuShang rushing out, he suddenly came up with a thought.
That thought became clearer and clearer in his mind.

Could it be that Yu Fu was a princess of Western Kun?

The people sent by the prime minister’s manor to investigate in Immortals Valley could not even get through the main gates.
They could only wander around the outside.

They did not find out Yu Fu’s identity, but they did find out that there was much interaction between Immortals Valley and Western Kun, as many of the disciples in Immortals Valley were from Western Kun.

Thus the possibility of Yu Fu being Western Kun’s princess increased…

“Servant, go and see whether or not father is still in the outer study.
I will be making a trip over.”

“Yes, young sir.”

Yin Shuo suddenly stood up with his brow furrowed.
He was completely different from the kind demeanor that he had when they first met, and Qi Ting just stood to the side in confusion.

After a while, she tried her luck and said: “Young sir Yin, Marquis Gu’s Manor’s matters cannot be spread lightly.
I told you all of these things, so you can’t just leave me be!”

Stupid woman.

What sense was there in not discarding something that had been used up?

The prime minister’s manor was not a garbage dump that could tolerate just about any garbage.

A look of abhorrence flashed through Yin Shuo’s eyes.
When he looked up, he had already managed to suppress it.

“Forget it, you can stay in the manor.
You must not go out, and it’s even important that you don’t meet with people from Marquis Gu’s Manor.”

After all, she was Qi An’s granddaughter.
Keeping her might have some benefits.

“Many thanks, young sir Yin! Many thanks, young sir Yin!”

Qi Ting could not give thanks enough.
She looked at Yin Shuo as if he was her last hope.
She was beyond joyous.
