Helian Wei Wei pinched his little tiger-like face and she too felt the same, “Your Third Brother is an odd one.”
With an eminent aura surrounding him, Baili Jia Jue glanced at the adult and the child who were behind him, and he said with his mild tone, “Both of you know the consequences for letting me hear another comment of myself.”
The adult and the child were immediately uptight.
“He heard us?”
“He can still hear us even like this?”
“Third Brother is insane.”
“Yes, he is indeed…”
The shadow guard’s lips twitched. The conversation between the young master and the princess consort was too loud.
There would be no reason for not overhearing them when they were that rowdy…
Were they not afraid of offending Master?
The shadow guard lowered his gaze and said, “Your Highness, should I remind the Princess Consort?”
Hearing that, Baili Jia Jue looked at the shadow guard coldly, “Remind about what?”
“No, nothing.” The shadow guard had a hunch that the man was not pleased and dared not continue. He understood the position that the princess consort had in His Highness’ heart. He then respectfully bowed his head.
Baili Jia Jue averted his gaze and walked past the shadow guard. His eyes were twinkling like an ocean of stars as he lowered his head to look at Helian Wei Wei. He subsequently held out his hand. His deep voice was like that of a fine instrument, effortlessly bewitching whoever that heard it, “Let’s go, my lord, to the second game…”
When Helian Wei Wei saw the unapparent arc on the corner of his lips, she knew that someone was going to be unlucky again. Yet, she was more than happy to join hands with His Highness.
She slid her hand into his palm and with a tug, their fingers intertwined.
Little Seventh Prince tagged along behind them. A meat bun was dangling from his mouth as he eyed everyone with vigor.
The people in the yamen did not know the reason why a child was around. The yamen runners found it unusual, so they kept looking behind their back.
The interrogation officially started. It was possibly the biggest case in Fuping County in a hundred years. Imperial officials from various counties had gathered, not to mention that Helian Wei Wei was seated among the four lords from the provincial capitals.
The amount of pressure one had to withstand in order to conduct the trial for the case was intense!
However, Helian Wei Wei was composed, appearing indifferent like how she usually was.
Private Advisor Long who was beside her was cloaked in a prominent aura. It was as if he had spent years in the imperial court. With the air that he had set off, he seemed more like an imperial official than the four lords of the provincial capitals.
Private Advisor Zhang still could not get over the fact that the former had taken over his place. He furiously glared at Baili Jia Jue and spat in his heart. When that Lord Wei was out of the way, he doubted that the man with nothing but looks would be able to flaunt any longer!
Baili Jia Jue was a private advisor brought in by Helian Wei Wei. It was obvious that she would bring him around, especially during the interrogation.

“Bring out the criminal Yan Dazhao,” his voice was light and low. Strangely, everyone could hear him as though his pressurizing voice rang in everybody’s ears.
It was the main reason why Private Advisor Zhang detested him. They were both private advisors, but the man stood in a higher position than the rest of them. Even when facing higher-ups, he had never displayed any other emotions.
What are you so arrogant about!
Private Advisor Zhang sneered. A smile then flashed across his face. As he moved closer to Baili Jia Jue, he acted like a senior trying to correct a junior by pointing it out to Baili Jia Jue. “Xiao Long, there are so many lords here. We as private advisors should talk less and let the lords conduct as they see fit. You’re new here so you wouldn’t understand; there are specific procedures and methods to an interrogation. You mustn’t be rash like Lord Wei.”
Baili Jia Jue glanced at him calmly.
Private Advisor Zhang saw his reaction and pressed on vigorously, “We are all a family. If there were things that you don’t know, you could ask me. Speaking after consulting with me would lead to fewer mistakes…”
Private Advisor Zhang was babbling away when Baili Jia Jue parted his lips unhurriedly. His tone was neither cold nor eager, his attitude was so casual as if he did not take Private Advisor Zhang seriously. “Who are you?”
“You, you…” Private Advisor Zhang did not expect to get this answer. His fingers were shaking as he glared at Baili Jia Jue!
Pfft!
Helian Wei Wei was unable to contain her laughter. She could clearly see Private Advisor Zhang’s stoned face from her seat. He was furious yet unable to express it, and that look on his face was extremely foolish.
Baili Jia Jue was still indifferent. His gaze was fixated in front of him, staring at the yamen hall. There were no ripples in his narrow eyes as if he was not the one that had spoken earlier.
Helian Wei Wei coughed lightly and put on a serious face. Within her sight, she saw Old Master Yan who was brought in by two yamen runners.
He did not kneel because he possessed the title of the imperial scholar, standing there casually with a huge and round belly. When his gaze met Helian Wei Wei’s, without waiting for her to question him, he started shouting, “My lord, I was framed!”
Helian Wei Wei taunted, “You? Framed?”
“My lord, I know you always have the wrong idea about me,” Old Master Yan said smilingly, “This is not my lord’s fault. I had worked hard for this position today and it is not odd to have rumors about me flying around. I had never asked anyone to thank me. However, I never thought that there would be people that would see that as a chance to defile my name. All in all, if you, my lord, have any prejudice against me, I could rectify my name to prove to you over time. Yet, to bring this matter to the court is not fair, right?”
Helian Wei Wei looked at him coldly but did not speak.
Chen Liang and Little Seventh Prince stood together in the crowd for the hearing. The former scolded relentlessly, “I, as a young master who has lived for so many years had never met someone as shameless as this Yan! He was clearly the one who snatched the girls off the streets, but he claimed himself to be some kind of hero! We shouldn’t waste our breath talking to people like him; we should just overpower him with our rank!”
Holding the meat bun in his mouth, Little Seven’s handsome small face was darkened. “Those who harm the people will definitely have their karma. The Third Brother has tons of ways to shut him up. Even without using his rank, Third Brother could easily make him pay the price.”
“Right!” Chen Liang nodded, holding out his hands to massage the little one’s shoulders. He flattered, “Little uncle is brilliant!”
Little Seventh Prince turned around and said in an imposing manner, “You, not bad.”
It was a miracle to be praised by the little uncle. Chen Liang was so touched that he was on the verge of tears! Back then, in the White Academy, he was so afraid of this little uncle that he would choose to take another route!
Even though he was young, he was lethal. All the yamen runners here meant nothing to him!
“Old master, old master!” It was not easy for a servant to find his young master. He only managed to catch a glimpse of his young master after tiptoeing in the crowd. Grabbing Lord Chen’s sleeve, he pointed at the crowd, “I, I found the young master!”
Lord Chen followed his servant’s finger and looked. His eyes which were unable to keep calm found his beloved son, but when he saw that the Little Bald Head was standing beside his son, he writhed in agony. Why is that little ‘ancestor’ here!
