Moreover... she was putting on airs as a mother-in-law in front of the county princess's daughter-in-law, not only wanting Qi Fangya to serve her like the second daughter-in-law, but also wanting to be in charge, just like she managed the whole family in Qingya Village, she also wanted to be in charge in this mansion.

Qi Fangya, of course, refused and fed the household vegetarian meals three times a day.

After hearing this, Ye Xianya couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Qi Chengshuo possessed profound inner strength and keen hearing and eyesight, so he also heard it.

"It seems that the Jiang family's scoundrels can fight each other to a standstill without me even lifting a finger." Ye Xianya said with a laugh, "However... after all, the Liu family comes from a remote mountain village and doesn't understand the rules of the capital. Qi Fangya is also a county princess. If no one advises the Liu family, they will definitely suffer repeated defeats and eventually leave the capital."

How could she just stand by and watch this happen? She had to help Grandma Liu.

"What do you plan to do?" Qi Chengshuo asked with a smile.

Before he even returned to Beijing, he offered to help Ye Xianya and the others deal with Jiang Mingtao's family.

With his power and methods, it would be too easy for him to bring down Jiang Mingtao. Even with Princess Rong'an Qi Fangya around, Qi Chengshuo didn't take her seriously.

Qi Jiu raised both hands in agreement.

Unfortunately, Ye Xianya and her daughter did not agree; they wanted to take revenge themselves.

In Ye Xianya's words, it would be very easy for her to bring down Jiang Mingtao and kill those people in the Jiang family, but she cares not only about the result, but also about the process.

She would slowly and deliberately play with them until she had played them to death.

Otherwise, how could we repay the mother and daughter for all the hardships they endured in Qingya Village over the years?

"Who lives next door to Jiang Mingtao's residence? Do you know them?" Ye Xianya asked, turning her head.

"Left or right?" Qi Chengshuo asked.

"Any direction is fine, front, back, left, or right." Ye Xianya wasn't picky at all.

Upon hearing this, Qi Chengshuo thought about it carefully and realized that he was not familiar with any of those companies.

Actually, he had never paid any attention to Jiang Mingtao before, even though Jiang Mingtao had married Qi Fangya, they were not on the same level.

Whenever the palace held a banquet to entertain members of the royal family, only Qi Fangya attended; Jiang Mingtao was not qualified to go.

Moreover, Qi Fangya dined with the women, so Qi Chengshuo and she didn't have much interaction.

It was only after returning to the capital that Qi Chengshuo inquired about Jiang Mingtao's whereabouts, thanks to Ye Xianya.

“The person living on their left is Chen Xuanping, the Vice Minister of Works. I have some connections with this family,” Qi Chengshuo said with a smile.

Chen Xuanping's son, Chen Qichuan, was born with superhuman strength and practiced martial arts from a young age, making him extremely powerful.

Last year, during a hunting trip in the outskirts of Beijing, Chen Qichuan performed exceptionally well. Later, he had a minor conflict with Pei Junqi. Relying on his superior skills, Chen challenged Pei Junqi to a fight, intending to beat him up.

Pei Junqi was certainly not foolish enough to go and get beaten up, so he refused.

As a result, Chen Qichuan wouldn't let it go, and then... Qi Chengshuo got into a fight with Chen Qichuan and beat him up.

From that time on, he, the usually low-key heir of the Prince of Duan, became famous.

The emperor felt that he had brought honor to the imperial family and the royal family, so he rewarded him handsomely.

After all, although there are many members of the royal family, the vast majority of them are used to being pampered and there are very few who can be considered outstanding.

"Then help me get a room in their mansion, I'll borrow it for an hour tonight," Ye Xianya said with a smile.

"Okay." Qi Chengshuo reluctantly agreed.

If beating someone up counts as a sign of friendship, then he might as well give it a try.

If Chen Qichuan doesn't agree, then let's see who has the bigger fist.

His grandfather taught him from a young age that whoever has the bigger fist gets to call the shots, not only in their royal palace, but throughout the entire dynasty.

Thus, thanks to Qi Chengshuo's "efforts," Ye Xianya, disguised as a man, successfully entered the Vice Minister's residence with Qi Chengshuo after nightfall.

Chen Qichuan specially prepared a room for them near the Jiang family's house next door.

Although he didn't know why Qi Chengshuo brought a boy to their residence to borrow a room, he had lost a bet.

A bet's a bet, and you have to accept the consequences!

After the two of them went inside and closed the door, Qi Chengshuo's attendants stood guard outside, and Chen Qichuan couldn't help but widen his eyes.

What they are doing is...

Could it be that you have some kind of unusual fetish?

It shouldn't be that bad.

Even if there was an affair, Qi Chengshuo didn't need to go to such great lengths to bring the person to their residence.

He is the heir apparent of Prince Duan; it's not like he has nowhere to go.

But he really couldn't understand why Qi Chengshuo wanted to borrow a room in their mansion and even told him to keep it a secret. Even when his father and mother asked, he only said that he had invited Qi Chengshuo to his mansion for a chat.

Filled with doubt, Chen Qichuan turned back every few steps, reluctant to leave.

"Xianya, what do you want to do?" Qi Chengshuo asked in a low voice.

"I'll leave my body later and go next door to teach Liu how to deal with Qi Fangya. She'll just think it was a dream and won't remember what I look like." Ye Xianya said, looking at Qi Chengshuo: "You stay here and guard me. Don't let anyone get close to me, so I don't have trouble coming back later."

"Isn't that too risky? Maybe I should bring Jiang Mingtao down. Without that official position, his family will definitely be in chaos." Qi Chengshuo felt it was too dangerous.

Out-of-body experience...

If she doesn't come back, wouldn't Ye Xianya be dead?

This won't do!

"Don't worry, I can come back. It's just that I was disturbed by others, which caused some trouble, but it's nothing. Just take good care of me." After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she quickly used her mystical technique to separate her soul from her body without waiting for Qi Chengshuo's reply.

Her soul power was already strong, so it was easy for her to enter Liu's dream. She was about to "complete the task" and return when she found Jiang Mingtao alone in the front yard.

Although she and Jiang Mingtao were blood relatives, they had severed ties, so her divination of Jiang Mingtao was still quite accurate.

Last time at Penglaiju, Jiang Mingtao mistook the mother and daughter for ghosts. After returning home, he didn't dare tell Qi Fangya about it, lest Qi Fangya get jealous and think that he was still thinking about his ex-wife and daughter and was having hallucinations.

He didn't ask Jiang Fuyi and the others, because Jiang Mingtao didn't want to see them at all and had been hiding from them. Even when they had dinner together every day, he didn't say a word, so... he had no idea that Ye Xianya and her daughter were still alive.

"Jiang Mingtao." Ye Xianya "floated" in front of Jiang Mingtao and spoke softly, "You..."

"Ah..." Jiang Mingtao cried out, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Ye Xianya: "..."

This heartless scumbag is so easily scared! She even spent some time thinking about what to say to frighten him, and now…

"Master." A servant's voice came from not far away.

Ye Xianya pouted and went back to the Vice Minister's residence next door.

Qi Chengshuo, who had been watching her, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Xianya open her eyes.

A man's scream came from next door, which startled him. He was worried about Ye Xianya but dared not leave, and was really anxious.

Thankfully, she returned safely.
