I insist

Chapter 230: Eavesdropping

She followed Yu Huailin all the way to a house. Just as Song Miqiu was about to go in, she caught a glimpse of a carriage coming this way.

Seeing the carriage's decorations, Song Miqiu figured the owner must be wealthy. She quickly hid behind a large tree, peeked out, and saw Zhang Jiesheng getting off the carriage.

Staring at the other person's head, Song Miqiu frowned. As she watched Zhang Jiesheng walk into the place where Yu Huailin had just gone, she felt genuinely panicked.

Song Miqiu was worried for Yu Huailin, after all, she knew that Zhang Jiesheng was not someone to be trifled with. She had almost been choked to death by Zhang Jiesheng before, and it was only because the Crown Prince spoke up for her that she survived.

She looked around and could only step on a small pebble. She grabbed the wall with both hands and stomped her feet on it. Song Miqiu peeked inside, but after a long time, she couldn't see anyone.

She knew everyone was in the inner room. Biting her lower lip, Song Miqiu nimbly supported herself and flipped herself over into the room.

With her feet firmly planted on the ground, Song Miqiu leaned forward to minimize the noise. She opened her eyes wide and looked around carefully before cautiously walking inside.

"You've come uninvited, haven't you?" Yu Huailin sat in the inner room, his eyes lowered, his legs pulled back, and he used the hem of his clothes to cover the mud on his shoes.

Yu Huailin knew that Zhang Jiesheng was also shrewd, so to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided it was best not to show his shoes.

Zhang Jiesheng looked at the other party coldly. Seeing Yu Huailin's lukewarm attitude towards him, he felt very annoyed. He did not expect that he would not only be pleasing to both sides after taking on this task for Yu Huailin, but now Yu Huailin was also giving him a cold shoulder!

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiesheng glared coldly at Yu Huailin, his tone full of dissatisfaction, "Why did you push that kind of thing onto me?! Did you already know that if anyone did this, it would be a thankless task, so you had the Crown Prince entrust it to me, just to see me make a fool of myself?!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Huailin paused, looked up at the other person, raised an eyebrow, and said with amusement, "Zhang Jiesheng, what are you saying? I don't understand."

"I have always obediently followed the Crown Prince's arrangements. When did I ever push things onto you? Do you mean I don't want to do it anymore and am passing my responsibilities to you?"

Zhang Jiesheng was so angry that his mouth twisted into a crooked shape. He couldn't directly tell the other party that he had been following and investigating him, lest the other party find out and report it to the Crown Prince, and he would be scolded by the Crown Prince at this critical moment, which would definitely make him extremely uncomfortable.

"Don't try to argue, it must have been you. And you're going to make sure I have no way to curry favor with the Empress Dowager!"

Although Zhang Jiesheng was a subordinate of the Crown Prince, he was extremely obsessed with networking. He wanted to cultivate good relationships with all the concubines in the palace, especially those with high power, so that he wouldn't have to worry about them in the future.

But unexpectedly, before he could even think of a way to curry favor with the Empress Dowager, Yu Huailin's move directly shattered the Empress Dowager's first impression of him, leaving Zhang Jiesheng speechless with anger.

"Since the Empress Dowager is dissatisfied with you, why don't you look for the reasons why she is dissatisfied with you, instead of dragging me into it?"

Yu Huailin coldly steered the conversation directly to the Empress Dowager. He clearly saw Zhang Jiesheng pause for a moment, then realized that what he said made perfect sense.

Seeing this, Yu Huailin's lips curled into a mocking smile, but when he met Zhang Jiesheng's gaze, the smile disappeared.

Seeing that Zhang Jiesheng was speechless for a long time, Yu Huailin, taking advantage of the fact that the other party was not willing to put everything out in the open, stood up and called out to the inside of the room. Soon, Yu Huailin's guards came in.

Yu Huailin smiled and glanced at the other person, then raised his voice and said, "Send our young master Zhang away from here!"

Just as the guards were about to approach Zhang Jiesheng, the man glanced at them and said coldly, "Don't touch me. I can walk by myself. You don't need to worry about me!"

As he was about to leave, Zhang Jiesheng paused, turned his back to Yu Huailin, and shouted a warning, "You better pray I can't find any evidence, or you'll be in for a world of hurt!"

After saying this, Jason Zhang didn't bother to say anything more and strode away.

Yu Huailin stood there, staring at the other person's departing figure. He pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Song Miqiu kept his head pressed against the bottom of the window, listening carefully to everything that happened inside the room, and heard everything they said.

She hadn't expected that Yu Huailin and Zhang Jiesheng had this relationship, so her worries just now seemed unnecessary.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Song Miqiu knew that there was no need for her to stay any longer. She tried to leave by supporting herself with her hands, but unexpectedly, her legs went numb and she fell down when she got up.

She hissed, suddenly realizing something. Song Miqiu covered her mouth in fright, her eyes wide, and subconsciously glanced behind her.

Song Miqiu then realized that she had been secretly eavesdropping on other people's conversations. She slapped her thigh in frustration and quickly left.

"who!"

A cold, questioning voice came from behind, startling Song Miqiu so much that she quickly got up and left, running all the way.

However, she underestimated Re Huailin's speed in chasing people, and in addition, Song Miqiu was very unfamiliar with this house. When she ran, her arm was scraped by a spot.

Song Miqiu felt something strange on her arm. She glanced at her torn clothes, but when she didn't feel any pain, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as she turned a corner, Song Miqiu crashed heavily into a wall of flesh. She cried out in surprise and took a step back, but her heel missed the ground and she fell to the ground.

But just as Song Miqiu's buttocks were about to touch the ground, a strong hand grabbed Song Miqiu's arm and lifted him up from the ground.

Song Miqiu flailed her arms, her eyes wide and pupils contracted, until she met a pair of eyes that gleamed with coldness.

Looking at Yu Huailin, whose face was extremely pale, Song Miqiu chuckled dryly and waved at him, "What a coincidence...hehe..."

The atmosphere became noticeably awkward. Yu Huailin coldly watched Song Miqiu grin foolishly, without saying a word, but staring straight at her.

"what are you doing here?"

When Song Miqiu was questioned about this matter, her eyes instantly became very guilty. She looked around furtively, but the other party quickly grabbed her chin and held her in place.
