Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress

Chapter 575: Chapter 572: Paving the Way_1 Chapter 575: Chapter 572: Paving the Way_1 The Crown Prince assumed that Madam Dong, Mrs. Dong, and Mrs. Dong’s daughter-in-law had all fallen ill and were certainly unable to arrange his accommodations. However, when Dong Qingyue led him into an elegant and tranquil courtyard, he was quite pleased. The meticulous details demonstrated the effort put into the arrangement.

After Dong Qingyue and his group left, the Crown Prince stood by a large water vat adorned with lotus lanterns and fed the fish from a container. He remarked with a smile, “A water vat with koi fish and lotus lanterns, Lord Dong does not seem like someone with such refined tastes…”

The Crown Prince’s smiling reflection was seen on the rippling water surface. The ancient tree branches rustled in the wind, accompanied by the faint and sorrowful sound of a zither.

The Crown Prince looked up and listened attentively.

Quan Yu, who stood beside him, quickly said, “Your Highness, this servant sent someone to inquire. They said since Madam Dong, Mrs. Dong, and Mrs. Dong’s daughter-in-law were bedridden, the accommodation was arranged by two of Lord Dong’s concubine-born daughters…”

“Shh!” The Crown Prince gestured for silence before Quan Yu could finish, handing him the fish food and following the sound of the zither out of the courtyard.

Quan Yu, holding the fish food, turned and gestured to the guards stationed under the eaves. The group followed the Crown Prince, maintaining a respectful distance behind him.
