Xue Yi nodded immediately, "Absolutely true."
"Your Highness, a lot of things have happened in the Ye family recently, and it's beyond our control."
“Not only Ye Fan and Ye Chang, but even Ye Sheng withdrew from the army some time ago.”
Shangguan Yu frowned even deeper, "Where did Ye Sheng go again?"
"I heard that a few days ago, Ye Sheng joined the No. 1 Manor under Heaven and became a small manager there."
Shangguan Yu fell into deep thought for a long time before speaking angrily.
"Go ahead and investigate. What's the connection between Number One Manor Under Heaven and the Crown Prince?"
"And why did Master Yuli cooperate with the Crown Prince?"
No matter how stupid Shangguan Yu was at this moment, he already understood that he had been fooled by Dugu Xin.
However, he really couldn't understand why the number one manor in the world would cooperate with the prince instead of him.
Seeing this, Xue Yi immediately went to investigate. After Xue Yi left, Shangguan Yu walked towards Ye Xinxin's yard angrily.
But when he arrived at Ye Xinxin's yard, he found that Ye Xinxin was not there at all.
"Where did Aunt Ye go?"
Chunxiang was left behind, and when she saw Shangguan Yu coming, she immediately stepped forward to speak.
"Your Highness, my aunt took Sister Qiuping out today, and I don't know where they went."
Shangguan Yu's face was a little gloomy. "When did they leave?"
"I went out after breakfast this morning and have been gone for a while."
Seeing that he couldn't get anything useful out of it, Shangguan Yu said something with a sullen face.
"When she comes back, tell her that I'm looking for her and ask her to come to my yard to find me."
Chunxiang agreed, Shangguan Yu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left.
Back in the room, Shangguan Yu became more and more angry, and then he thought of Yuan Xuemei, whom he had not seen for a long time.
He has been busy buying medicine recently and has spent a lot of money in the mansion. The Yuan family is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and he feels that he should win over the Yuan family as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Yu asked the housekeeper to select some gifts for him and then took a carriage to the Yuan family.
However, when he walked to the Tianxia Restaurant, he accidentally saw a familiar figure from behind the car curtain.
"Butler, stop the car."
The butler did not suspect anything and found a place to stop the carriage.
Shangguan Yu looked through the car curtain at Ye Xinxin, who was smiling, and the men sitting opposite her.
He knew those men, and the leader among them was Qin Lei, the legitimate son of the Duke of Huguo.
The other people sat next to Qin Lei, and it was obvious that they were invited by Qin Lei.
Shangguan Yu frowned more and more. He originally thought that Ye Xinxin just brought Qiuping out to relax, but he didn't expect that she would come to meet a man from outside.
Although the customs of Daxia were not so feudal, it was still laughable for a woman living in the inner chamber to meet a man from outside the household.
What's more, they are now in the busiest Tianxia Restaurant, how can Shangguan Yu not be angry.
Ye Xinxin didn't know that she had been discovered by Shangguan Yu and was talking to Qin Lei at the moment.
"Brother Qin Lei, didn't Xinxin agree to treat you to a meal? Why did you bring so many young masters here?"
Ye Xinxin looked at Qin Lei with some resentment, while Qin Lei laughed.
"Cousin Xinxin, what a coincidence! We were originally planning to have a drink here."
"I never thought your maid would come looking for me. I can't just abandon my friends."
"By the way, cousin Xinxin, you haven't told me why you came to see me?"
Ye Xinxin glanced at the few strange young men around her, and suddenly had other ideas in her mind.
"Nothing, it's just that I haven't seen my cousin for a long time and I miss him."
"I just didn't expect Xinxin's appointment was so unfortunate that it actually delayed my cousin's conversation with the other gentlemen."
"I just don't know who these young masters belong to. Since they can be friends with my cousin, I think they must be from official families."
When Qin Lei heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still introduced it with a faint smile.
"We make friends regardless of family background. As long as we can play together, we are all friends."
"This is Master Liu, this is Master Xu, this is Master Wang, and the ones over there are Master Li, Master Zhang..."
Qin Lei introduced them one by one, but after listening for a long time, she only heard a bunch of surnames and had no idea about the identities of these people.
After Qin Lei finished the introduction, the young men saw that Ye Xinxin was pretty good-looking, so they started to make a fuss.
"Qin Lei, don't just introduce us. You haven't introduced who this lady is yet."
Upon hearing this, Qin Lei looked at Ye Xinxin awkwardly, and then introduced her.
"This is my cousin Ye Xinxin, now the concubine of His Royal Highness Prince Yu. You guys should be more tactful in your words."
When everyone heard this, the look in their eyes changed immediately.
"So this is the adopted daughter of the Ye family. She is indeed the woman chosen by His Royal Highness Prince Yu. She is really beautiful."
"It's a pity that she's already taken. It's beyond our reach."
After the man finished speaking, he ignored Ye Xinxin's embarrassed expression and smiled at Qin Lei again.
"By the way, Qin Lei, we heard that the Ye family's newly found daughter is also very beautiful, and she hasn't been betrothed yet."
"At the last palace banquet, I was so busy looking at beautiful women that I missed meeting her."
"Why don't you bring her out someday and let us see her."
Qin Lei glared at the man who spoke with annoyance.
"You, how dare you say anything nonsense? My cousin is the daughter of the general's mansion. How can you just see her whenever you want?"
The man was not annoyed by Qin Lei's scolding, but smiled with some regret.
