And so, Ye Moxun barely spoke a word to the rest of the Ye family before leading Song Tantan and the others to the courtyard that Ye Haohai had arranged for them.

The yard is quite large, and it's clear that it's usually empty. There's a lot of dust inside the house, and some cobwebs in the corners.

However, the Ye family had many servants, and they tidied up the courtyard in less than half an hour. Song Tantan then ordered the maids and servants she had brought to clean it again before she was satisfied.

Then Song Zhuiyan released the twelve dogs and the snow leopard from her spatial dimension. Some of these little cuties lay on the roof beams, some lay in front of the courtyard gate, and a few were on the roof.

With them as guards, things are much easier. Tian Qi and Dang Shen's guards are also under less pressure, since they can guard against thieves but not the Ye family.

Ye Haohai took many concubines, more than ten in total, and they had a lot of children. Those young ladies and gentlemen always wanted to come and cause trouble, which made things quite difficult for Tian Qi and the others.

If they block people from entering the courtyard, but the people insist on coming in and a fight breaks out, they can't afford to take responsibility if they hurt these young ladies and gentlemen in their own home.

With the dogs guarding the place, things are much easier. As soon as the dogs bare their teeth, the young ladies and gentlemen are so frightened that they jump far away and watch from a distance, not daring to come any closer.

After Ye Mo arrived at the Ye residence, he stayed in the courtyard and refused to go out or see anyone. Even when Ye Haohai sent people to invite him, it was to no avail.

"Master, what does this mistress mean by this? She's really putting on airs. She's been back for three days and hasn't spoken to anyone, not even you, Master. It's outrageous! Are you just going to let her get away with this?"

The ninth concubine was the first wife's half-sister. The two sisters were always united and worked together against outsiders. The first wife protected the ninth concubine, and the ninth concubine acted as a mouthpiece for the first wife.

Many things that the first wife couldn't express her opinion on but wanted to object to, the ninth wife would step forward. Over the years, the two have always worked together seamlessly.

Ye Haohai was also annoyed by Ye Moxun's attitude, but he was concerned about his reputation. This illegitimate son had been away for many years and was quite capable. He had other plans in mind, so he naturally couldn't lash out at him as soon as the man returned. He had to be patient.

"Don't get involved in Ah Xun's affairs, and don't go to his courtyard to bother him," Ye Haohai said casually with a sullen face.

Ninth Concubine bit her lip and snuggled into Master Ye's arms, saying coquettishly, "Master, it's one thing for the Third Young Master to be willful, but his newlywed wife has never greeted my sister. My sister is the head of the household and his mother-in-law. She should still follow the proper etiquette."

"So what? There are a few wolf cubs guarding the front yard. Do you have a way to get around the wolf cubs and invite the person out?" Ye Haohai snorted. This Ninth Concubine was beautiful and knew how to make him happy, so he always spoiled her.

But that doesn't mean he didn't know that Ninth Concubine listened to the principal wife in many things. The two sisters had worked together very well over the years, and he could let some things slide by turning a blind eye, but they couldn't overstep his bounds.

Regarding Ye Moxun's situation, he was puzzled as to why his son suddenly agreed to come back, and then hid in the courtyard and refused to appear. That was one thing, but he hadn't seen Ye Moxun with a group of ferocious beasts when he came.

Suddenly, there were ferocious beasts guarding both inside and outside the courtyard. This child is too unconventional and acts strangely. He really doesn't understand him at all.

After a few days, the effects of the medicine on Zhong Qingyi finally wore off. They had sent people to find many skilled poisoners, but none of them could counteract the medicine used by Ye Moxun.

This guy is truly terrifyingly powerful. He can make it impossible for Ye to find anyone to cure him with just one kind of medicine. Moreover, the kid has been hiding in the Ye residence these days and hasn't gone out. Ye can't make any rash moves even if he wants to.

The reason is simple: the Ye residence is located in the area where the most high-ranking officials of the imperial court reside. Which of these officials' residences is not guarded by a large number of guards, with strict security, and the Imperial Guards patrolling from time to time?

Hmph, you think you can't do anything to him like this?

Zhong Qingyi sneered. He just didn't want to alert the enemy. He had already died once, what wouldn't he dare to do? Just wait, the others were no threat. Next, he was going to do something that would shake the world.

That day, Ye Haohai had not returned home by 7:00 AM. He usually returned by 9:00 AM at the latest, but today he did not return home, nor did he send a servant back to inform him.

The entire Ye family was waiting for him to return for dinner, but they waited until late at night. Madam Ye couldn't sit still any longer and quickly sent a servant to inquire at the gate of the imperial city.

"There must be something important in the palace for the master to handle. Nothing will happen," Ninth Concubine comforted him.

Madam Ye told everyone to eat first, but she herself had no appetite. She gave Ninth Concubine a wink, and the two of them went to the courtyard one after the other.

“My heart has been racing since noon, and my eyelids have been twitching. I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen. I’m worried about what might happen to Master.” Madam Ye’s expression was somewhat solemn, and she began to speak incoherently.

"Master will be fine, sister. I'm not trying to criticize you, but you're just too worried. Master is such a cautious man; he always has bodyguards with him when he goes out. Who can do anything to him?" Ninth Concubine was rather easygoing, thinking that having bodyguards made her invincible. She didn't even consider that bodyguards couldn't be brought into the palace.

In a corner of the Ye family's courtyard, Ye Moxun had just finished bathing and was preparing to settle down when he heard a system notification: "Host, your father, Emperor Kangping, and the Crown Prince have all been tied up by Zhong Qingyi and his men. He is preparing to go on a killing spree and is ready to overthrow the dynasty at any time."

Ye Moxun frowned at first, then asked curiously, "Didn't you only warn me when I was in danger? What's going on now?"

System: "Congratulations, host. I leveled up a few days ago. This is the first time I've accumulated enough points since I bound myself to you, and I've successfully leveled up. With this level up, there's even more hope for the future. My role will become more and more important than you can imagine."

Let's hope so.

There was no time to plan ahead, so Ye Moxun quickly dressed and prepared to leave. "...You stay at home and don't move. Xuehua will stay here to protect you. I have to go to the palace immediately. If you have any problems, go hide in the space."

Song Tantan was more than five months pregnant and her pregnancy was already showing, so Ye Moxun naturally wouldn't take her with him into the palace.

“I’m going too. I can’t let that guy of unknown origin ruin my husband’s reputation. I have to stop him myself. Caiyue and Caiqing stay to take care of the children, and Tianqi stays too. The rest of you come with us to the palace.” After learning what had happened, Song Zhuiyan insisted on going to the palace with them.

This guy who took over her husband's body is really something. It hasn't been long, and he's already trying to force the emperor to abdicate. He even dares to dream of becoming emperor himself. He deserves to go to heaven; the human world isn't enough for him to wreak havoc on.

The matter was urgent, so Ye Moxun did not object this time. He told her to put the dogs into her spatial storage so that they could be released to help her when she entered the palace.

Before leaving, he was still very worried and held onto Song Tantan tightly for a long time. Song Tantan patted his back and said with a smile, "Don't worry about me. I will take good care of Heng'er, Shuang'er, and Rui'er. Don't worry, Xuehua is here. Even if things get really bad, there's Shahu and a few pythons and a pack of wolves in the supermarket. No one can hurt us."

The beasts in the supermarket were captured from Chiyin Peak and have been kept there without being dealt with. They can be released to help in case of any emergencies.
