Chapter 699 The ountant (Part One)


    The next morning, Yun Shang and Xiao Yuanshan had breakfast together. After telling Xiao Yuanshan


    their n, Yun Shang left Qin Yi in the mansion to attend to him. Then she called back Qian Zhuo to


    apany them to the mansion.


    The Yun mansion was to the east of Jin City, which was a short distance of four hours'' drive. In


    addition, Qin Yi has covered the seat of the carriage with thick cotton and soft fox fur. It was


    Luo Qingyan helped Yun Shang get off the carriage, but he frowned and nced back from time to


    time. Yun Shang was puzzled. She turned to look at Luo Qingyan. "What happened? Is there anyone


    following us?"


    Luo Qingyan nodded and sneered, "They''ve been followed us all the way. I''ve been thinking whether I


    should send some secret guards to get rid of them."


    Yun Shang smiled as she listened to Luo Qingyan''s words. The displeasure was obvious in his tone.


    She said, "It doesn''t matter if they want to follow you. Yesterday you had a quarrel with Su Qi and was


    forbidden by the emperor to the morning court. You went straight out of the city to this manor today.


    There must be someone who might think that His Majesty must have assigned you some secret


    mission..."


    Luo Qingyanpressed his lips. Hearing Yun Shang''s words, he looked at her and said, "Do you


    think we should ignore them?"


    Yun Shang smiled, "Leave them alone. If our secret guards kill them, the people behind them will


    convince themselves that their spection is right. We''d better ignore them. We just rx and do what


    we want to do as we nned. In this way, they will be confused. Isn''t it better? "


    Hearing Yun Shang''s words full of teasing, Luo Qingyan couldn''t helpugh. He caressed Yun Shang''s


    long hair and said, "I agree."


    The servants in the mansion had been waiting for them at the gate for a long time. Seeing that the


    carriage stopped, they knelt down in a hurry and said, "Good day, Your Highnesses."


    Luo Qingyan walked to them with Yun Shang and said in a cold voice, "Get up."


    The servants who had knelt on the ground rose to his feet, and the one who was at the forefront was


    the steward of the Yuan mansion. The steward had introduced himself to Yun Shang before they came.


    His surname was Liu, and he seemed to be a trustworthy person.


    Although Steward Liu asionally went to Prince Rui''s mansion to report the affairs of the mansion, he

    only saw the butler. It was the first time he had seen Prince Rui and Lady Rui, so he was a little


    nervous and bowed respectfully. "Your Highnesses, I have cleaned up the yard ording to the butler''s


    orders. The lunch is also ready. Would Your Highnesses like to have the meal first or see around the


    courtyard?"


    Luo Qingyan did not open his mouth. Yun Shang asked softly: "You must be Steward Liu, right?"


    "Yes, Your Highness. What can I do for you?" answered Steward Liu in a hurry.


    Yun Shang smiled faintly, "Noting. After a long trip, I''m feeling hungry now. Show us the yard, and ask


    someone to send the lunch to the yard."


    Steward Liu said yes in a hurry and turned around. The dozens of people behind him scattered in two


    sides. He bowed to Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang, "Your Highnesses, please."


    Yun Shang''s eyes swept across the servants. They were not so courteous as those in Prince Rui''s


    mansion. There is no master in the mansion, so they don''t need to be so scared. They were more


    curious about Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang instead of being scared. They were observing Luo Qingyan


    and Yun Shang secretly with amazement in their eyes. Seeing that Yun Shang turn to look at them,


    they lowered their heads in a hurry.


    Although it was winter, green still could be seen in the the State of Xia. Yun Shang walked through a


    bamboo forest behind Steward Liu, and was suddenly enlightened. There was a yard behind the


    bamboo forest.


    There were four or five rooms in a row and the courtyard wasn''t surrounded by walls. Behind the


    rooms, ntain were nted, and there were several trees in the courtyard. A very elegant view was


    standing in front of the houses.


    They could clearly see the farnd far away, in which the tenant were hard working. There was


    mountain beside a stream and on the mountain seemed to be a tea garden.


    Yun Shang took a deep breath, smiled and said, "I feel the air is much fresher here."


    Luo Qingyan smiled, "I don''t think so. Maybe it''s because you could put aside all the annoying things


    for now."


    Yun Shang nodded with a smile. They walked into the hall, where dishes had been served. Steward Liu


    said, "We don''t have many costly or exotic food here, but all the ingredients are nted by our own,


    and they are very fresh. I hope Your Highnesses will like them."


    Luo Qingyan frowned. As long as he didn''t talk to Yun Shang, his face was always cold. "There''s no


    need to wait here. You can leave. If we need anything, we''ll call youter."


    Steward Liu''s face was a little pale, and he was trembling when he thought whether he had offended


    the master.


    Yun Shang smiled, "I''ll have a nap after breakfast and wake up around 4 pm. I want to go to walk


    around the mansion after I got up. Please make some arrangements for me."


    Yun Shang said in a gentle tone. Steward Liu immediately responded and left. After they went out of


    the hall, Yun Shang breathed a sigh of relief. She thought, ''His Highness deserves his reputation as a


    cold prince. He is really frightening.''


    The meal was not as rich as that in the mansion. But the vegetables really looked fresh and delicate.


    Qian Zhuo carefully tested them with a silver needle, and then helped pick up food for Yun Shang. Yun


    Shang felt that the food tasted much better than the food they bought and made her a good appetite.


    Looking at Yun Shang, Luo Qingyan joked, "I would have thought that I mistreated you in our mansion


    if I didn''t know you always have a good appetite."


    Yun Shang nced at Luo Qingyan and said nothing.


    After dinner, Luo Qingyan came to the bedroom to rest, with Yun Shang in his arms. When Yun Shang


    woke up, Luo Qingyan had already got up and the bed curtain was put down. Outside came Luo


    Qingyan''s voice, as if he was ordering a secret guard, "I knew that. As soon as I left, He can''t stand it


    anymore. Keep an close eye on him, and report everything to me if there is something happening."


    After the secret guard''s reply, Luo Qingyan said, "You may leave now."


    After a while, Luo Qingyan''s voice came from outside the bed curtain, "Shang''er, you are awake?"
