In the room, Ye Huaisu was crying while holding his two children. But when he saw Ye Wanshu come in, he stopped crying immediately.
"Wanwan, before it gets dark, send Qingmian and Tingji out of the house, and let Tian Fu take them to see Mr. Li quickly." Ye Huaisu ordered calmly.
"Mother, do my sister and I have to go back to the mountain in such a hurry?" Gu Tingji was a little reluctant.
Ye Huaisu suppressed the pain in his heart and smiled calmly, saying, "Old Master Li was interested in you and your sister because, besides your talents, he also thought you were diligent and studious. You've already spent too much time at his house, and we can't upset him."
Uncle and Gu Tingchen were now so disloyal that they didn't even recognize their relatives. Ye Wanshu was afraid that things would change if she delayed, so she quickly agreed, "Qingmian, Tingji, listen to your mother and focus on your studies."
Seeing the earnest eyes of their mother and cousin, Gu Qingmian and Gu Tingji could only nod their heads: "Okay then, mother, cousin, you must take good care of yourselves."
"Don't worry, just focus on studying with Mr. Li and don't worry about the affairs at home." Ye Wanshu gave him some instructions, and then said to Ye Huaisu, "Aunt, I'll send my cousins out first and come back to see you later."
Ye Huaisu's face was full of kindness. He forced a faint smile and nodded, watching his niece and her two children leave the house as if nothing had happened.
As Ye Wanshu led the siblings out of the gate of the Duke's Mansion, they saw the brothers Gu Tingzhou and Gu Tingchen coming back.
Seeing his cousin so anxious to send the two little ones out of the house, Gu Tingchen immediately felt resentful and stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Wanwan, didn't you say you would send Qingmian and Tingji back in two days? Why are you sending them out today?"
"Isn't this all Second Cousin's good deed?" Ye Wanshu deliberately scolded, "Doesn't Second Cousin know Old Master Li's temper? He's kept Qingmian and Tingji at the mansion. What will we do if Old Master Li refuses to continue teaching them?"
This statement left Gu Tingchen with no way to refute it.
After all, it was I who detained the two children in my house for several months. If this really made Mr. Li resentful, my mother and cousin would probably be jealous of me.
"It was my cousin who was negligent." Although Gu Tingchen was already on guard, he still compromised: "I will have someone escort Qingmian and Tingji up the mountain."
"Don't worry, second cousin. Tian Fu will take them back." Ye Wanshu pulled the brother and sister directly into the carriage and secretly winked at Tian Fu. Tian Fu understood and immediately rode away.
Gu Tingchen saw everything and felt more and more uneasy.
But he really couldn't guess what his cousin and the nerd were planning when they returned to Lin'an this time. He suppressed his uneasiness and escorted his cousin back to the mansion. Seeing that his cousin was about to go to her mother's yard again, Gu Tingchen immediately stopped her.
Ye Wanshu's eyes turned cold. "Gu Tingchen, what are you planning to do? My aunt needs someone to serve her medicine. Qingmian and Tingji just left. Do you want her to be left alone?"
"What are you talking about, Wanwan?" Gu Tingchen said with a cold smile, "I will arrange for someone to take good care of mother."
After saying this, he secretly winked at the guards beside him, and then saw two followers took out a pair of shackles and walked to Ye Wanshu.
"Wanwan, don't blame me for being suspicious. I'm just worried that you'll get hurt again."
Gu Tingchen explained, "My cousin has already successfully resolved the marriage issue, but just in case, you should stay in Cuiweitang these days and not go anywhere. After our wedding on the Mid-Autumn Festival, no one will force you to marry again."
As soon as he finished speaking, two followers opened the handcuffs and prepared to handcuff Ye Wanshu.
Gu Tingzhou was stunned and hurriedly tried to stop him: "Tingchen, you are so presumptuous! Wanwan has done nothing wrong. Why are you treating her like this?"
"Brother, I'm warning you for the last time. This is between Wanwan and me. You don't need to ask any more questions." Gu Tingchen's face darkened and he glared at him fiercely. "If you dare to meddle in other people's business again, don't blame me for not caring about our brotherly relationship."
Gu Tingzhou shook his head speechlessly: "Do you know what you are doing now? Do you think that by imprisoning your aunt, you can reverse the current situation?"
He roared, "Seven hundred thousand cavalrymen from the north are invading. Forcing the emperor to abdicate and holding my aunt hostage at this time will only make the court situation more difficult."
"Shut up." Gu Tingchen didn't bother to pay attention to him. He only warned Ye Wanshu, "Wanwan, don't worry. Your cousin will definitely not let you go to the Northern Territory to marry. It won't be long before your cousin makes you the most noble woman in the world."
Upon learning that this bastard had placed Empress Dowager Gu under house arrest, Ye Wanshu felt secretly delighted.
All this was far crazier than she had expected. No matter who took the first step to usurp the throne between this bastard and Prince Qi, Fu Mingchi could lead the Yuezhou Army to enter Lin'an to support the king with justification.
At this time, she just needs to wait patiently. When Empress Dowager Gu and Gu Tingchen completely fall out, the real show will come as promised.
At this moment, she only hoped that her aunt could be more patient and accompany her through the most difficult days.
As the two guards put shackles on her, Ye Wanshu smiled faintly at Gu Tingchen, "Gu Tingchen, you've never been a heartless person. Don't be so hypocritical in front of me."
Gu Tingchen's eyes turned cold when he heard this. He pressed her closer with dissatisfaction, and said with a sinister look in his eyes, "You call me hypocritical? Do you know how much I have sacrificed for you? Is it completely insignificant in your eyes?"
"Everything you do is just to satisfy your own selfish desires. Why bother to make it sound so righteous?" Ye Wanshu looked at him coldly, saying with a half-smile.
