Even he found that it was beyond expectation. At first, he did not like it when the Crown Prince decided to work on Yellow Crane, because he did not think that the Crown Prince should waste time on such a minor thing.
He had seen through the Gu Family. The Gu Family could not possibly boost the Crown Prince. Gu Zhenkang was a useless father-in-law. When the King assigned him to work at the Ministry of Personnel, he still worked in the same manner as he did at Taipu temple. He could not even get involved with the most simple thing! He spent the whole day drinking tea.
Gu Yunhe, on the other hand, had no ambitions other than to play around all the time.
Well, he could play around if he wanted to, and Junyi did not care, as long as he did not cause trouble in the capital. However, he even got the Crown Prince involved with this fun!
That was what displeased Junyi a great deal.
However, the Crown Prince still promised to help them, so he could not possibly go deeper with this matter, so he allowed the Crown Prince to do whatever he wanted to. He did not even want to think of a strategy for him to use, since he believed that it was an easy thing to do.
However, the Crown Prince could not even settle it himself!
Junyi thought about it carefully.
And he understood what was going on – the reason why Lord Huai gave away his old mansion was not because he had understood the situation he was in and what he should do. That was not the case.
Lord Huai was born by the Queen, and in the past dozens of years, the King favored Lord Huai on the surface, so he could get anything he wanted in the capital. Therefore it was probably a little difficult for him to accept that he was no longer favored and that the position of Crown Prince belonged to someone else.
He agreed to give the mansion, probably not because of the Crown Prince, but because the King asked for it.
Lord Huai would behave well in front of the King, yet it did not necessarily mean that he would behave well in front of the Crown Prince. There was a huge difference between these two things.
“Junyi, just tell me what we should do about this?” Zhou Huailing had almost finished venting his anger when he smashed everything he could lay his hands on. So he had started to think about serious business.
Junyi almost thought through the whole thing carefully a while ago, so he looked relaxed when Zhou Huailing asked that.
“Crown Prince, that is because Lord Huai doesn’t want to bow to you. He is still dreaming! He believes that he has a chance!” Junyi said calmly. “If he is still dreaming, we can make sure that he loses his dream.”
“…”
“Lord Huai is going to be present at Madame Min’s banquet, and at that time, we can make him bow.”
“…”
“He is just a lord, and there are many ways for us to make him to realize his position.”
“…”
“Don’t worry about Yellow Crane, it just needs a couple of more days for you to get it,” Junyi said.
Zhou Huailing felt very motivated after hearing what he said. He became clear-minded again.
He liked Junyi for this. He could see through everything and say everything carefully.
He made him feel less burdened.

There were still a few days left before the one-month contract finished, but Xie Yan had already lost his patience, and decided to have a chat with Gu Chaoyan about his leaving.
