Ye Rong chuckled and then spoke mysteriously.
"Not only me, but also my eldest brother, my second brother, hiccup~, uh, our whole family can hear it."
Shangguan Lingyun was startled, then asked cleverly.
"If you put it that way, doesn't that mean everyone can hear her inner voice?"
"So what did you hear? How did you know I had a relationship with her?"
Ye Rong chuckled and burped a few times.
"But not everyone can hear it. We've already tested it, and no one except us, our blood relatives, can hear it."
"As for what she said, that's a long story."
"She said this was some kind of book world, and she said we were all cannon fodder."
As Ye Rong spoke, he looked at Shangguan Lingyun and smiled.
"She said you were a dog man. Haha, I was dying of laughter. How did she come up with that? Dog man."
Shangguan Lingyun's face turned dark, but he was also sure that what Ye Rong said was true.
After all, he had heard Ye Xiaoxiao call him a bitch more than once.
But, if it was really as Ye Rong said, why could he hear her thoughts even though he had no relationship with her?
Ye Rong didn't know that his words had caused Shangguan Lingyun to speculate a lot, and he kept talking.
"Since you and Xiaoxiao are already husband and wife, when do you plan to marry her?"
Shangguan Lingyun was stunned. He wanted to marry her, but the little woman refused.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ye Rong thought that he didn't want to take responsibility, and looked at him with a somewhat unfriendly expression.
"Why, you're not going to take responsibility?"
"Then why do you always go to Xiaoxiao's yard quietly?"
"Did you know that Xiaoxiao plans to leave the capital after giving birth?"
"Do you know that Xiaoxiao is pregnant with twins? How hard it will be for her to raise two children alone?"
"Don't you intend to give them a legitimate status?"
The series of questions made Shangguan Lingyun a little annoyed, but what surprised him even more was that Ye Xiaoxiao was pregnant with twins.
Seeing that he remained silent, Ye Rong suddenly became angry.
"My father was planning to support you in your fight against Prince Yu, but now it seems that you are no better than Prince Yu."
"Humph, this wine is undrinkable."
Ye Rong was about to push the wine bowl away as he spoke, then he stood up shakily and wanted to leave.
Shangguan Lingyun reacted and grabbed him.
"Sit down. When did I ever say I didn't want to take responsibility?"
"Since you have said this much, I will tell you the truth."
"I was also framed by Prince Yu in the beginning, which is why I wronged Xiaoxiao."
"Originally, I sent people to look for her, but unfortunately, they were a step too late. She had already been taken to the capital by your Ye family."
"I thought I would never see her again in this life, but unexpectedly, she became the young lady of the Ye family."
"Originally, because she was ugly, I wanted to take responsibility for her."
"But later, she recovered her appearance and became the daughter of the Ye family. I knew she would live a good life, so I hesitated."
Ye Rong was dissatisfied, "Why are you hesitating? Could it be that the daughter of my Ye family is not worthy of you?"
Shangguan Lingyun frowned, but seeing that Ye Rong was indeed drunk, he didn't care too much.
"It's not a question of who's unworthy of whom. The truth is, she hates me so much that she doesn't want to bother with me at all."
"After much effort, I coaxed her into slowly accepting my presence, but as you all know, she never intended to stay."
"I've already hurt her once. Do I have to hurt her again and again?"
Ye Rong sighed, "So what are you going to do? Just let her take the child and leave?"
Shangguan Lingyun raised an eyebrow, "Of course that's not possible, but I'm far away at the border right now and can't take care of these things for the time being."
"However, since we have spoken out today, I would like to ask Second Brother for help. I wonder if Second Brother would agree?"
Ye Rong chuckled, "Although the title of Second Brother sounds good, Xiaoxiao hasn't recognized you yet, so it's a bit early to call you that."
"But for Xiaoxiao's happiness, if you are sincere to her, we can do our best to help you."
"However, as you said, Xiaoxiao has a strong personality and not everyone can control her."
"Moreover, she is different from other young ladies from aristocratic families. She has ideals and ambitions, principles and abilities."
"If you really want to keep her, you have to work harder and think of more ways."
Shangguan Lingyun nodded in agreement, but he did gain a lot today.
Just when he was about to continue asking Ye Rong questions, Ye Rong suddenly fell asleep on the table.
Shangguan Lingyun was a little helpless, but at this time Wang Xiao walked in again with Ye Pengcheng, who was somewhat sober.
"Your Highness, what happened to Ye Rong?"
"It's nothing, he just drank too much and fell asleep. I'll ask Wang Xiao to send him back."
"General Ye, are you more awake now?"
Although Ye Pengcheng felt dizzy, he was indeed much more awake.
"It's okay. I'm getting old, and my alcohol tolerance isn't as good as before. I'm sorry to have embarrassed His Royal Highness."
Shangguan Lingyun curled his lips, "It's okay, the Second Young Master just told me something, and I was listening with great interest when he fell asleep."
"Since General Ye is not drunk, why don't you continue to talk with me?"
Ye Pengcheng was a little surprised, but he did have something to say, so he sat down again.
"I wonder what Rong'er said to His Highness?"
Shangguan Lingyun raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly, "Nothing, the second young master said that the Ye family already knows about the matter between me and Xiaoxiao."
Ye Pengcheng didn't expect Shangguan Lingyun to be so straightforward, and smiled awkwardly.
"To be honest, Your Highness, we do know about your relationship with Xiaoxiao."
"However, Xiaoxiao didn't bring this up on her own initiative. I hope Your Highness won't blame Xiaoxiao."
Shangguan Lingyun chuckled and then nodded.
"The Second Young Master just told me that it's said that your entire Ye family can hear Xiaoxiao's inner thoughts. I wonder if this is true?"
Ye Pengcheng hesitated for a while, then explained.
"Your Highness, this is indeed true, but Your Highness, we have confirmed that Xiaoxiao is just an ordinary person."
"She just knows a little more than others, but she is truly a human being, not some monster."
"Although this matter is a bit strange and I, an old minister, cannot explain it clearly at the moment, Xiaoxiao truly has no ill intentions. I hope Your Highness can keep it a secret."
Shangguan Lingyun saw Ye Pengcheng's nervous face and hurried to comfort him, but what he said made Ye Pengcheng even more uneasy.
"General Ye, don't worry. I know Xiaoxiao's character."
"Not only that, not only can everyone in the Ye family hear Xiaoxiao's inner voice, but even I can hear it sometimes."
Ye Pengcheng was so shocked that he even sobered up a lot.
"What did you say? You could hear it too?"
