Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 713 - 712: Do you like me?

In the garden of Ah Jiu’s family, Wufu propped up her cheeks with her hands, gazing at the hints of spring that were not quite visible, her eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

Purple Jade stood by her side, somewhat curious, what had suddenly come over their young lady? She rarely had such a bemused expression!

"Purple Jade, why didn’t you tell me that the prince was involved in the Lu Family matter?" Wufu suddenly asked.

Purple Jade was taken aback and, after thinking it over, said, "Hou Ling is a bit scheming, but there were some loopholes in this matter. I was just about to help him tie up the loose ends when the prince sent Tang Shi to assist me."

"Oh? Such a big fuss over a trivial Lu Family?" Wufu raised her eyebrows.

"The prince meant to prevent Lord Wen from following this clue back to you and causing you trouble, so he decided to clean up the traces, leaving only some insignificant ones that led back to him," explained Purple Jade. "Tang Shi said the prince mentioned there was no need to tell you, so..."

Wufu fell silent, recalling the snatch of conversation she had just overheard outside the Floral Hall, and murmured, "Why?"

Why would he do such a thing?

"Actually..." Purple Jade hesitated for a moment, then added, "Young lady, the child disappearance case during the Lantern Festival was also handled by the prince’s order to Tang Shi. They found the person and let Lord Wen make the arrest. That’s why the children were found so quickly."

Wufu was astonished.

"Really? He never mentioned it."

Purple Jade smiled, "Perhaps the prince thought it not worth mentioning!"

Wufu opened her mouth, "Why?" If someone did a good deed, why not mention it?

"The prince thinks, as long as you are happy, nothing else matters!" Purple Jade said tentatively.

Wufu tilted her head slightly, her face once again showing a puzzled look.

Purple Jade found this all to be a headache, thinking to herself, My young lady, how can you be so dense? When a man goes to such lengths to plan for you and clear obstacles, even a fool knows what that means!

It was obvious that the prince had developed an interest in their young lady!

But she just didn’t understand, is there any young girl who doesn’t harbor thoughts of romance? What in the world is going on in my young lady’s head!

Just as Purple Jade was about to drop a hint to Wufu, she noticed Ah Jiu appearing at the entrance of the garden and said, "Young lady, the prince is here!"

Wufu turned her head to look, and indeed, he was the one approaching.

Ah Jiu entered the pavilion, and Purple Jade tactfully stepped out, standing at an appropriate distance, very considerate.

"I heard you arrived; why are you sitting here in the cold instead of inside the house?" Ah Jiu asked with a smile.

"Hmm, it was a bit stuffy inside, so I came out here to sit," Wufu thought for a moment, then asked, "What did Wen Si come to see you about?" freewēbnoveℓ.com

Ah Jiu was momentarily startled then replied with a smile, "He had some things he didn’t understand and came to ask me. It’s nothing important."

Wufu uttered an "Oh," and after a long pause said, "Why did you get involved in this matter with the Lu Family? To please me?"

Ah Jiu was visibly taken aback. She knew?

"I know all about it, Purple Jade told me you sent Tang Shi to help her, and that the child disappearance case was also something you arranged," Wufu looked at him with confusion. "Ah Jiu, why?"

Why would he quietly do so much without letting her know that he was the one behind it, why?

"What why?" Her eyes were dark and bright with full confusion, Ah Jiu couldn’t bear to look, simply picking up a cup of tea from the table and taking a sip.

"Ah Jiu, do you like me?"

Pfft!

Ah Jiu spit out his tea, staring at her in disbelief.
