Butler Wang's body trembled violently at the words, almost losing his balance. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he handed over a letter.
It was over!
He hadn't kept an eye on the young master, and he would be punished!
Who would have guessed the young master would sneak away with a letter!
The young master was usually taciturn, almost a carbon copy of the Prince in temperament, even more quiet than the Prince. He could never have guessed that the young master had been brewing such a grand plan!
He was being set up to take the fall!
Zhan Tianye tore open the letter with a rip and his stern, resolute face grew somber as he read the contents.
The letter read: "I dreamed of my mother and am going to find her."
Just a few words.
"I discovered the young master's note an hour ago. This old servant immediately sent people to search for him, and we will surely find the young master soon!" Butler Wang said, still sweating profusely.
Such incidents had become frequent over the past year.
The household staff had become skilled at finding people!
Alas, the young master was truly pitiful. Four years ago, the Prince was poisoned and injured, and the young master was sent directly to the Prince's manor, not even knowing who his mother was.
Zhan Tianye's expression was impassive. "Once he is found, make him kneel for a day and a night."
"This..." Butler Wang and Qiu Cheng couldn't bear it.
The young master was only four years old!
It was because he lacked maternal love so desperately that he repeatedly went out to find his mother.
A punishment of a day and a night was too harsh!
"Your Highness, should we send someone to look for Miss Yun? All evidence points to her being the young master's birth mother, and the young master needs his mother now, so perhaps this..." Butler Wang dared to suggest.
Over the years, people in the manor had been saying that Miss Yun fled the capital because she disliked the Prince's sudden disability, abandoning the young master to leave.
No one wanted to admit that the young master's birth mother was a shallow person!
"Even if we confirm Miss Yun is the young master's birth mother, it won't help bring her back. We just received news that she has attached herself to the Regent and is already engaged to him," Qiu Cheng said, secretly clenching his fist.
That Miss Yun would surely regret it!
Did she truly believe the Prince was crippled?
Heh heh heh!
Zhan Tianye's cold gaze swept towards Butler Wang. "A woman who could cruelly abandon her own son is not worthy of being a mother. Even if it weren't her, it would be any woman; I do not wish for her to appear in the Prince of Night's manor!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness is correct," Butler Wang replied repeatedly.
"Find the young master as soon as possible. I want to see him before nightfall," Zhan Tianye commanded with a chilling coldness.
...
Outside the capital, not far away.
Yun Shu was leisurely traveling in a carriage.
She listened as Jing Heng recounted the events that had transpired in the capital over the past few years.
Upon hearing that Zhan Tianye had become disabled, her lazy eyebrows arched. The biological father of Yun Xiao Jing had become crippled?
Of course, there was even more explosive news: the enemy she wanted to deal with first, Yun Yue Yin, was not in the capital and had not married Zhan Tianye.
"Tsk tsk, once I find her whereabouts, I will settle accounts with her properly," Yun Shu said, her lips curving into a bright and gentle smile.
However, Jing Heng felt goosebumps prickle his skin.
The gentler his master smiled, the more terrifying it meant she was!
That Yun Yue Yin would definitely regret offending his master in the future!
The carriage suddenly stopped.
A sharp, questioning voice from a woman was heard from outside.
"How dare you! You dare to offend the General's manor's young lady! Get down quickly and apologize to our young lady!"
Yun Shu's beautiful eyes held a smile, and her faint voice drifted out of the carriage, "The General's manor's young lady?"
"You still dare to question?! Our young lady is the darling of the Zhennan Great General! If you don't want to die, quickly get out of the carriage!" the maid yelled arrogantly.
The Zhennan Great General? That was the original owner's father.
Yun Shu coldly lowered her gaze. It turned out to be effortless. Just moments ago, she had asked Jing Heng to search for her, and unexpectedly, Yun Yue Yin had delivered herself right to her doorstep!
