The old Duke looked at his grandson with a bad expression.
"No fly bites an egg without a crack. If you had no problems at all, how could she keep targeting you?"
"Grandfather, I'm really wronged! Grandfather, please let me out. I'll go and explain everything to her right now."
The old Duke glanced at the cane on the table and said with a forced smile.
"If you dare to leave this door today, I will let you taste the taste of meat fried with rattan sticks."
Qin Lei wailed, "Then how long do you plan to keep me locked up?"
The old Duke thought for a moment and said, "After Xiaoxiao gives birth, I will let you go."
Qin Lei was puzzled. What did this have to do with Ye Xiaoxiao?
The old Duke did not explain, but waved his hand and told him to go back and continue to be under house arrest.
Qin Lei sighed and had no choice but to return to his room.
After returning to the room, Qin Lei felt more and more that something was wrong. Why did Ye Xinxin come to see him, but he was the one under house arrest?
"No, I have to find a way to stop Ye Xinxin from harassing me."
"But I can't even get out of the door now, how can I stop Ye Xinxin?"
Qin Lei talked to himself for a long time, but finally had no other choice but to ask his sister for help.
Qin Xue was bored and wanted to do something when she saw the servant from her brother's yard sneaking into her yard.
"Qin Shan, what are you doing sneaking around in my yard?"
Qin Shan smiled awkwardly, "Miss, the young master wants to see you."
Qin Xue raised her eyebrows, "Why, is my eldest brother in trouble again?"
Qin Shan immediately shook his head, "Miss, I really don't blame the young master this time."
Qin Xue became interested and pulled Qin Shan to explain it clearly before she went to find Qin Lei.
Qin Shan had no choice but to briefly recount what had happened recently.
"Ye Xinxin is looking for my brother? Why is she pestering my brother instead of trying to please Prince Yu?"
Qin Shan was also puzzled. "Who said it wasn't true? The eldest young master was confined by the master and the old man. It's simply inexplicable!"
Qin Xue felt that things would not be that simple, so she walked towards Qin Lei's yard.
"Let's go and see what this woman is up to."
When Qin Shan saw that Qin Xue agreed to help, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and walked back with Qin Xue.
Qin Xue came to Qin Lei's yard and asked some more details, and roughly understood what Ye Xinxin meant.
"I was wondering why she was suddenly pestering you. Turns out she's set her sights on our Duke's Mansion."
"Who does she think she is? She dares to think of anything."
"Don't worry, brother. I'll take care of this matter."
Qin Lei burst into tears of gratitude upon hearing this.
"My dear sister, if you encounter any problems in the future, I will go through fire and water for you."
Qin Xue frowned, "You are looking forward to ordering me."
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. Since this matter is also related to cousin Xiaoxiao, I'll go ask cousin Xiaoxiao."
"Cousin Xiaoxiao is very smart. I'm sure she'll have a good idea. Just wait for my good news at home."
Qin Xue went out after she finished speaking. Looking at Qin Xue's elegant back, Qin Lei felt envious and at the same time cursed Ye Xinxin in his heart.
After leaving the Qin family, Qin Xue went straight to the Ye family and soon arrived at Ye Xiaoxiao's yard.
Looking at the crowded yard, Qin Xue thought she had gone to the wrong place. She checked twice before she was sure that she had not gone wrong.
Ye Xiaoxiao responded as soon as she heard the voice, and couldn't help laughing when she saw Qin Xue's surprised look.
"Well, were you also scared?"
Qin Xue nodded. "Cousin Xiaoxiao, what happened to your yard? How did it become like this?"
Ye Xiaoxiao sighed and pulled Qin Xue to sit down at the table and chairs in the yard.
"It's a long story. It's all caused by these two kids in my belly."
Qin Xue didn't know that Ye Xiaoxiao was pregnant with twins. When she heard the news, she was extremely happy.
"There are actually two children? I forgot to ask last time I came. It's all my fault for being so careless. No wonder Auntie is so nervous."
Ye Xiaoxiao sighed and didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she asked Qin Xue why she came.
"By the way, Xiaoxue, how come you have time to come and see me today?"
Qin Xue sighed, "It's all Ye Xinxin's fault. Cousin Xiaoxiao, you have the most ideas. Please help my brother."
Without waiting for Ye Xiaoxiao to ask more questions, Qin Xue told her everything Ye Xinxin had done and how Qin Lei was under house arrest.
Ye Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. "Did Grandfather really say that he would lock up my cousin until I give birth?"
Qin Xue nodded. "Really? My brother said it himself. Although he can be a bit absurd sometimes, he never lies."
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned. Ye Xinxin went to find Qin Lei, and her grandfather put Qin Lei under house arrest. What did this have to do with her having a child?
She couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, but she felt quite sympathetic towards Qin Lei.
"Xiaoxiao, I think grandpa is also concerned about my cousin's reputation."
"Think about it, my cousin is already of marriageable age, but he still refuses to settle down and have a wife and children."
"Now that Ye Xinxin has come to my house, if people spread some things that shouldn't be said, my cousin's reputation will be completely ruined."
Qin Xue was a little angry, "This Ye Xinxin is really vicious. She is shameless herself and she has to drag my brother into this."
"If my brother ruins the reputation of the Duke's Mansion, will we be able to see people in the future?"
"Cousin Xiaoxiao, please help me think of a way to help my brother get rid of this annoying woman."
Ye Xiaoxiao thought about it, and a beautiful curve appeared at the corner of her lips.
"The reason why Ye Xinxin is so anxious is nothing more than because of Yuan Xuemei and Prince Yu's marriage."
"She simply wants to win over the Duke's Mansion on behalf of Prince Yu, thereby increasing her own weight in front of Prince Yu."
"She wants to win over other forces, so let's just find a few to win over."
"Since Prince Yu is willing to let Ye Xinxin sell herself out to gain support, then let him lose both his wife and his army."
Qin Xue's eyes lit up, and an idea suddenly came to her mind, so she nodded with a smile.
"Cousin Xiaoxiao, you are really smart. I know what to do."
Qin Xue had an idea in her mind and felt a lot more relaxed. She said a few simple words to Ye Xiaoxiao and then went back to find Qin Lei.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Xue's leaving back, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.
[Ye Xinxin, in the original book, you caused Xiaoxue to lose her life and become corrupted because of your selfish desires. Now, let Xiaoxue avenge your original self with her own hands.]
Although Ye Xiaoxiao knew that Qin Xue would not do such dirty things, she knew that Ye Xinxin would definitely do something extraordinary in order to achieve her goal.
By then, Ye Xinxin will no longer be able to control how things develop.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxiao called Tianxuan and whispered a few instructions in her ear.
Tianxuan nodded, left the side courtyard, and walked towards the Tianxia Restaurant.
Ye Xinxin was anxiously waiting for news from Qin Lei, but she didn't know that a big net was slowly opening towards her.
