Unexpectedly, an ordinary woman who accompanied her husband to another village was so troublesome. Ye Jingchuan entangled for half a night before barely getting Lianyi in his hands, and the whole person was unexpectedly made to look disheveled.
No wonder he asked himself to take action, how could an ordinary person snatch a girl from such a heavily guarded place without causing a big commotion? Ye Jingchuan deeply felt that he was probably deceived by Song Chuyi, looking at the constantly furrowed brow of Lian Hui.
It was just one night, but the Bofu's villa seemed to have strengthened its guard, and Ye Jingchuan also sensitively discovered that there were many more soldiers stationed inside and outside the villa.
He drove the carriage into Bie Zhuang, casually grabbed someone and asked him to send the carriage to the backyard, but he himself went to find Ye Jingkuan without stopping. In just one night, Bie Zhuang had so many more people, everyone knew that something was wrong.
Song Chuyi happened to bring Chen Niang over to find Song Ren and bumped into Ye Jingchuan.
Unexpectedly, he returned at this time. Song Chuyi was somewhat surprised, but it wasn't good to brush off Chen Niang and let him ask about Lianyi alone. After exchanging greetings, they entered the flower hall together.
As soon as he entered, Ye Jingchuan understood why the defense outside had suddenly strengthened. He looked at the Ta Sun Palace's white python arrow sleeve, which was exceptionally refreshing, and exaggeratedly raised his eyebrows.
What is the Crown Prince doing here in this chaotic place instead of staying safely in the East Palace?
"Is His Highness Ta Sun relying on his own abilities to specially capture the Tartars?" He looked at Zhou Weizhao, with a somewhat unpleasant expression.
"Shut up!" Ye Jingkuan scolded him somewhat impatiently: "Haven't you caused enough trouble?! The previous matter hasn't been settled with you yet, don't look for more unpleasantness for yourself!"
Zhou Weizhao put down his teacup on the table and turned around leisurely to look at him.
Although he and Ye Jingchuan are about the same age, their temperament is worlds apart. Ye Jingchuan still has a youthful impulsiveness and playfulness, but this young Taizi in front of him seems to be exceptionally calm, with a face as if carved from stone, not revealing even a hint of extra expression.
Is it because of the special nourishing effect of the Taoist temple's rice and water?
"If you're not convinced, I have all the time to fight another round with you." Zhou Weizhao was unfazed by Ye Jingchuan's provocative words and even had a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Martial arts are only for strengthening one's body, protecting one's family and country. Being overly aggressive is not a good thing."
Ye Jingchuan was somewhat disgruntled, he coldly thought of a few sarcastic remarks, but after meeting Ye Jingkuan's warning gaze, he didn't dare say anything and just hummed in anger.
Song Ren and Song Ke were outsiders, and they didn't dare to speak up in front of the Crown Prince, so the atmosphere in the room became somewhat chilly for a while.
Miss Chen frowned several times, seemingly wanting to interject, but ultimately restrained by her status and dared not speak out of turn. She simply gazed forward with a pair of almond-shaped eyes, exuding an elegant demeanor.
Song Chuyi didn't know that Ye Jingchuan had a lawsuit with the Crown Prince, but she was worried about whether Lianyi had been rescued, and her mind was elsewhere.
Just then, a thousand-household military officer came in and reported that Ye Jingchuan had brought in a mysterious woman from the horse-drawn carriage, who did not match anyone on the list of people in this estate.
Ye Jingkuan immediately frowned and looked at Ye Jingchuan, somewhat annoyed, asking: "What kind of trouble have you stirred up again?"
Ye Jingchuan raised an eyebrow, about to say it was Song Chuyi's person, but then thought of what Song Chuyi had said before that she absolutely couldn't let her family know, and was momentarily stunned.
Song Chuyi immediately guessed that the person in the carriage was Lianyi and couldn't help but be shocked.
Since Tai Sun came over last night, the guards in the other courtyard have more than doubled, and there are many more soldiers patrolling inside the mansion. The inspection of suspicious individuals has become much stricter than before.
The worst is that, above her head, there are both Prince Taishun and Ye Jingkuan and Song Ren and Song Ke, she can't make decisions on her own. And now if she speaks up to admit that Lianhui is hers, she will definitely attract the attention of Song Ren and Song Ke, Song Ren is okay, but Song Ke is extremely clever, he will definitely ask for clarification
Yan Jingchuan just opened his mouth without speaking, Yan Jingkuan thought in a worse direction, rubbing his forehead to barely suppress the violent anger in his heart, and turned his head to order: "Severe interrogation! Check her out thoroughly for me!"
Ye Jingchu led the Tartars into the pass himself, it's already a huge mistake. If he is misled again to make other mistakes, even the great god of salvation cannot save him.
Ye Jingkuan was on the one hand angry with his younger brother, but on the other hand he knew that he couldn't let him do whatever he wanted. Last night, Ye Jingkuan didn't find any trace of his brother, and he had already been suspicious, but he had been busy discussing things with Taishun and temporarily forgot to deal with him. Now hearing that he had brought back a mysterious woman out of nowhere, Ye Jingkuan's vigilance was raised to the highest level.
Lianyi was already hoarse, how could she endure severe torture? Song Chuyi finally couldn't keep calm, with an anxious expression, she opened her mouth to speak.
She hadn't even spoken yet, when she heard Tai Sun chuckle lightly and say: "The other day I made a joke with Jing Chuan, saying that if he could find the cook from Gui Yan Lou who was best at making pufferfish, I would compete with him again. I didn't expect him to actually do it. He must have gone to Gui Yan Lou last night."
This is indeed something Ye Jingchuan would do, and unexpectedly, at this critical moment, he still had the mood to remember this matter. Ye Jingkuan glared at him fiercely.
Song Chuyi did not expect him to speak up for her, and while she felt a sense of relief, she also became somewhat nervous.
Song Ren and Song Jue did not suspect anything, after all, from beginning to end, Song Chuyi was not involved, they just thought Ye Jingchuan was making trouble.
Ye Jingchuan reluctantly accepted this feeling, and after a long time, he silently nodded.
Zhou Wei Zhao then smiled and went to see Song Ren and Song Ke: "Since he has kindly brought all the kitchen girls, please help take them in."
Song Ren and Song Jue were both busy, so they naturally thought of handing the person over to Xu Niang for handling.
He actually guessed it was related to himself and made a detour to fulfill himself! Song Chuyi was shocked by this discovery and subconsciously glanced at him.
He wore a laurel wreath and remained calm and composed, without showing any signs of unease.
But he seemed to know everything after all.
He already owed him a favor last time, and this time he owed him another one. Song Chuyi couldn't help but feel a little bewildered, she really couldn't tell what was on the mind of this lord, after thinking left and right, she could only temporarily put down the doubts in her heart.
After all, it's most urgent to deal with Lingyu's matter now. Although she has gained some power and freedom in the Song family, it is far from enough to compete with other members of the Song family. If Lingyu falls into the hands of Song Jue or Song Ren, it's hard to say whether things will go smoothly.
