Yue Rujing nodded and said, "Even if it’s not for finding Xuyao, for the sake of our Commandery Princess Luoyin, we must thoroughly investigate this Tianhai Mountain Villa. Senior brother, don’t be hasty in agreeing to this marriage! I rushed over to tell you about this matter, be cautious in the marriage arrangent!"
Jin Zijin rolled his eyes at him; is he such an indiscreet person? Besides, his daughter never worried about getting married.
After Yue Rujing and Xiao Jinyan left, Jin Zijin returned to his desk and habitually picked up a book to read.
But after reading for a while, he glanced to the side and stopped.
The paper he used was always from the sa source, slightly whiter than ordinary paper.
However, this piece was special, tucked within a stack of Xuan paper, only a corner exposed, and noticeably more yellow than the others.
He recognized at once that this paper did not belong to his study.
Jin Zijin took out the paper, on which several large black characters were written boldly.
’Do not marry into Tianhai Mountain Villa!’
Do not marry into Tianhai Mountain Villa? Who could this be?
Jin Zijin suddenly stood up and shouted to the servants outside, "Did you see any strangers enter this study?"
The sky was already darkening, and the servants were lighting the hanging lanterns.
Seeing their Prince suddenly utter such words left them quite stunned.
Strangers? What stranger could possibly enter the Ningwang Residence?
The crowd quickly shook their heads.
Jin Zijin continued, "Apart from myself and the Princess, who else entered this study today?"
He was certain that the paper appeared only today.
A servant replied, "Your Highness, the only people who ca to the study today were the Princely Heir Yue, General Xiao, and Shui Li, who is responsible for cleaning this study!"
These three, however, were equally unlikely to have written such words.
Yue Rujing clearly expressed his wish against marrying into Tianhai Mountain Villa.
Who else would oppose the alliance between the Ningwang Residence and Tianhai Mountain Villa?
The Prince Residence is heavily guarded, outsiders cannot enter, and those who can co into this room are only those from within the Prince Residence.
The servants are all carefully chosen, and they have no need to write such a ssage either.
So it could be one of the young people.
Jin Xiang wouldn’t, Yue Rujing wouldn’t, and naturally, Yue Qiulin wouldn’t either.
Then maybe it was that young man nad Jian Shiqing, and Jie Yi?
If Jie Yi has feelings for Luoyin, it might be possible.
But both he and Gu Youyou trust Miss Du’s integrity, her well-taught son, even if he had such intentions, would compete openly and would not leave such a mysterious note.
Then who could it be? Jian Shiqing?
What motive would he have?
The alliance between Tianhai Mountain Villa and Ningwang Residence would be a great benefit for the villa.
After returning, Jin Zijin showed the note to Gu Youyou and shared his suspicions.
Gu Youyou said, "They went to the back mountain early today and just returned; he had no ti to place this note."
Jin Zijin disagreed, "What if he possesses Zhu Yiping’s skills? Youyou, Luoyin told , Jian Shiqing has good skills, but he always hides them from Zhu Haisheng and his son. This person is quite peculiar, which is also why Luoyin is unwilling to get close to Jian Shiqing."
Of course, when Jin Luoyin told Jin Zijin, she omitted the incident of being taken advantage of by him, her aversion carrying a bit of personal bias.
Gu Youyou was silent for a mont, then slowly said, "So it seems, this Tianhai Mountain Villa is truly filled with mystery everywhere."
