The guard bowed his head, waiting for Yan Laixing's orders, but Yan Laixing was stunned in place, the smile on his face completely gone.
"What's the matter Lord Yan? Has something happened at home?" Prince Jade, who was about to leave, showed interest in Yan Laixing's expression.
He didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave anymore, clearly adopting the posture of a spectator.
Yan Laixing's face darkened, not just because of the message the guard relayed, but also due to his growing resentment towards Prince Jade.
They had quarrelled before, but Prince Jade was a member of the royal family, so he, a Prefecture Magistrate, had no choice but to endure.
Prince Jade's current attitude was clearly that of schadenfreude, whether intentional or not.
Ignoring Prince Jade, he turned to his guard and said, "Surround the compound! Don't even let an ant out!"
"It's already surrounded," replied the guard immediately.
