Chapter 2012: Chapter 2012: Loyal Hound Guard (20)
Unconcerned, Chuzheng returned to Yann Residence the next day.Yann Qin had grown accustomed to her returning every so often and had prepared her favorite food.
Chuzheng routinely tried to persuade Yann Qin to rebel.
Yann Qin: "..."
Suddenly regretting letting this sister inside.
Fortunately, Yann Qin had a good temper with his younger sister, showing no signs of anger, listening silently.
After Chuzheng finished her persuasion, she switched topics: "Brother, how much do you know about Shi Yi?"
Yann Qin finally looked up: "Why are you asking about him?"
"Just asking." Chuzheng appeared open, showing no signs of anything unusual: "Tell me about it."
Yann Qin thought for a moment, then said: "I don’t know much about him."
"Yet you dare to assign him to me?" Are you really my brother?
"About two years ago, I saved him once," Yann Qin explained, "Though he doesn’t speak much, he is trustworthy."
Had he not been certain Shi Yi wouldn’t act recklessly, Yann Qin wouldn’t have dared to assign him to protect her.
Chuzheng contemplated, finding this consistent with Shi Yi’s account.
Because Yann Qin saved him...
"Does he have any major vendettas?"
Yann Qin furrowed his brow, possibly thinking Chuzheng’s questions were odd.
"Did you discover something?"
"No, I’m just asking casually." Chuzheng had a serious expression that made Yann Qin not doubt her.
Unable to resist his sister’s earnestness, Yann Qin said, "He does have some grudges, but I’m not clear on the specifics; it seems related to the Kou Family."
Kou?
Chuzheng filtered through her memories, finding no one with that surname.
"Which Kou Family?"
"..." Yann Qin sighed, "The family of the Third Prince’s maternal grandfather."
Chuzheng: "..."
Chuzheng recalled that they were indeed surnamed Kou.
But the Kou Family barely had any presence; just look at the Third Prince’s status.
What vendetta could Shi Yi have with them?
Shi Yi was assigned to protect Chuzheng because he was already heading to the Third Prince’s Mansion, and the relationship between Yann Qin and Shi Yi was not one of master and servant.
Shi Yi’s choice to call Chuzheng was entirely his own decision.
Perhaps Shi Yi felt he owed Yann Qin his life, and accepting Chuzheng as a temporary master wasn’t inappropriate.
"Brother, consider the rebellion seriously."
Leaving this remark behind, Chuzheng departed with Ying Xiang.
