Ye Xiaoxiao was speechless as she watched Shangguan Lingyun jump down from the beam.
"You are a prince at least, but now you have become a thief."
Shangguan Lingyun snorted coldly, "If this man wasn't your father, do you think I would let him get close so easily?"
Ye Xiaoxiao curled her lips, too lazy to argue with him, but she was a little confused about why Ye Pengcheng suddenly came here.
Shangguan Lingyun looked at Ye Xiaoxiao with a puzzled expression and touched his nose awkwardly.
"These meals are from the big kitchen in the front yard of the Ye family."
Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”
Ye Xiaoxiao was too tired to complain, so she turned over and continued to sleep. She was so sleepy after all this tossing and turning.
Shangguan Lingyun lay beside her, holding her in his arms, but in his heart he was wondering whether to take her back to the East Palace.
Like tonight, stealing vegetables and hiding is really damaging to his reputation as the prince.
But when I thought about Ye Xiaoxiao's feelings, I decided to give up.
He himself was not safe in the palace. If he took the person to the palace, it would be safer for him to stay in the Ye family.
Ye Xiaoxiao had no idea what he was thinking. She was already too sleepy to bear it anymore and went to date Zhou Gong.
When she woke up the next day, she found that Shangguan Lingyun was gone, and Ye Xiaoxiao didn't pay much attention to it.
After washing up, he called Tianxuan over and started to inquire about the situation outside.
"Tianxuan, are there any rumors spreading outside?"
Ye Xiaoxiao had already reminded Tianxuan to pay attention to these things yesterday, so Tianxuan nodded immediately after hearing the question.
"Miss, you guessed right. The Han family really sent someone out to spread rumors."
"Now, people on the street are saying that the Second Young Master asked Han Wenbin to help save the beauty, which led to him being taken to the Li family."
"It is said that the Han family threatened that the Li family should hand over Han Wenbin immediately, otherwise they would ask His Majesty to intervene and seek justice."
"The master brought the four young masters to the palace early in the morning, and the lady also took Guizhi to the Duke's Mansion."
Ye Xiaoxiao understood that the Li family must have taken the victims into the palace.
With the help of his father and four brothers, I believe General Li will not suffer any loss.
Besides, there is that bastard. He has been fighting with King Yu for many years and he will not stand idly by.
Although the old emperor favors Prince Yu, Prince Yu will certainly not protect the Han family too much in order to maintain his own image.
Right now, there is no need to worry too much about things in the palace.
As for the rumors from the outside world, we can only listen to what the beautiful mother says.
She had done everything she should have done, so Ye Xiaoxiao no longer asked about the matter.
After thinking for a while, he asked a few more questions about Tianquan Book Club, and Tianxuan answered them one by one.
"Miss, the rumors outside are getting more and more serious. Many people have stopped in front of the Ye family's door."
"Even the small gate at the backyard was blocked by people. I don't know what they were trying to do."
Ye Xiaoxiao curled her lips, fearing that there might be other people with ulterior motives who were taking advantage of people's hearts and wanted to smear the Ye family and herself.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry. Only by building up the emotions first and making the bad guys think they are about to succeed can we counterattack them most thoroughly.
"Go and inform Dugu Xin now and ask him to keep an eye on Prince Yu's Mansion and the Han family."
Tianxuan nodded and turned to do it. Ye Xiaoxiao felt bored, so she exercised in the yard.
On the other side, Mrs. Ye took Guizhi back to her parents' home early in the morning.
Mrs. Qin received the visiting card last night and had been waiting for a long time. When she saw her coming, she immediately asked.
"Sister, what's going on?"
Madam Ye was a little anxious, "Sister-in-law, don't you know Rong'er's temper?"
"It's just that the Han family is relying on being Prince Yu's in-laws to make random connections."
"Not only did they ruin Miss Li's reputation, but they even tried to implicate our Ye family."
"However, fortunately, the two children have developed some affection for each other after all this, and my sister was able to come up with an excellent way to deal with it."
"However, I still need my sister-in-law to help me ask the Li family about this matter."
Madam Ye told Madam Qin about her plan, but in order not to involve Ye Xiaoxiao, she did not mention her.
After Mrs. Qin understood Mrs. Ye's meaning, she immediately agreed.
"I was wondering what it was, so this is what happened. However, if this thing succeeds, it would be a win-win situation."
"Then you can stay at home for a while, and your sister-in-law will help you find out."
Madam Ye nodded gratefully, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, sister-in-law."
Madam Qin smiled faintly, "We are all family, so why be so formal? Just wait for my good news."
After Mrs. Qin finished speaking, she went to the Li family with a few decent gift boxes.
Mrs. Ye had already delivered the visiting card on her behalf last night, so it wouldn't be too abrupt for her to go there today.
But Mrs. Li has always been weak in character and even a little timid.
After hearing the rumors outside, I was so angry that I didn't know what to do.
Seeing Mrs. Qin coming, she had no choice but to cheer herself up and drag her daughter to meet the guest.
"Madam Qin's presence is truly a great honor to our Li family."
Mrs. Li exchanged pleasantries with Mrs. Qin in a somewhat awkward manner, and Mrs. Qin took the opportunity to take a look at Li Jingjing.
"I hope Madam Li will not be offended by my presumptuous presence today."
"What are you talking about, Madam Qin? I just don't know why Madam Qin came here this time?"
Mrs. Qin glanced at Li Jingjing with a smile, then said.
"To be honest, Madam, I'm here today on someone's behalf, for Miss Jingjing."
Although Madam Li had not been in the capital for a long time, she grew up in the capital after all, so she knew about the relationship between the Qin family and the Ye family.
