Chapter 33 Do you think my arrangements are inappropriate?
Seeing He Qiumao's hesitation, Xie Chengyan knew that he had discovered something unusual. Although Ye Lanzhou was right in front of him, he did not choose to avoid him. Instead, he pinched Ye Lanzhou's waist with a threatening tone and said to the person behind him, "Just what?"
Ye Lanzhou felt pain in her waist, but she didn't say anything. She used to think He Qiumao and Xie Chengyan were in cahoots, but now it seemed that wasn't necessarily the case. If they were, He Qiumao would have known she was in the palace.
"It's just that the noble lady said that her biological mother is still in the Ye Mansion, but I heard from the people in the Ye Mansion that Qin is already dead."
Ye Lanzhou's mind was confused and he didn't hear what He Qiumao said next.
How could this happen? How could my mother die?
My mother has always been in good health. She was fine when she left the Ye Mansion. How could it happen so suddenly?
The idea of the Ye family's people murdering her suddenly emerged in her mind. These hypocritical officials were the best at coaxing people. When she agreed to marry her elder sister into the palace, the Ye family promised to ensure that her mother would have no worries in the future.
Now his mother is dead?
"Also, when Qin left the mansion, the Grand Concubine said that the Ye Mansion moved north and no one called them. However, the information given by the people in the Ye Mansion was that Qin had an affair with her lover and fell into trouble outside, unable to return to the mansion. Later, the mother and daughter moved north, and the Ye Mansion took the mother and daughter in because the Grand Concubine was of the Ye family's blood."
Back then, the mother and daughter lived in Qifang Pavilion in the backyard. No one came to inform them on the day of the migration to the north, but now it is said that it was because the mother was secretly meeting her lover outside?
It was obvious that the Ye family was slandering her mother. Ye Lanzhou hurried to stand up and speak for her mother. But just as she was about to stand up, Xie Chengyan grabbed her shoulders tightly, making her unable to move.
"The Ye family is such a big family, there's no need to focus on the Qin family's affairs. Now that something like this has happened, they must be covering up something, right?"
He Qiumao was stunned for a moment. He had known Xie Chengyan for so long, but it was always Xie Chengyan who said he would do it, and he had never asked questions like "is it true?"
Although he was confused, he still said "hmm" and agreed with Xie Chengyan's words.
However, little did he know that Xie Chengyan was talking to Ye Lanzhou in front of him. Since the person involved in the Ye Mansion was in front of him, of course he had to ask some questions.
But Ye Lanzhou remained silent, clearly shocked by the news He Qiumao had brought. Xie Chengyan spoke to He Qiumao, "I understand. This matter must be kept secret. Everyone in the palace is busy trying to curry favor with my good nephew, so no one will likely pay attention to Ye Lanzhou's affairs. But you must help me keep an eye on it."
He Qiumao nodded. "Yes, I will keep it in mind. However, the noble lady is still pregnant. If I neglect her, I am afraid that something will happen to her body and the fetus will be affected. For His Majesty, it will not be worth the loss. It is better to let the noble lady stay in my house temporarily. I have no children and am alone. My house will be quiet. It is just right for Noble Lady Ye to stay there temporarily. In this way, His Majesty will be relieved that the noble lady is in the capital, right?"
These words were beyond doubt, but He Qiumao had missed one point. Not only was Ye Lanzhou still in the capital, he was also in Xie Chengyan's residence. He couldn't be more relieved.
Xie Chengyan said in a deep voice, "He Zongguan thinks my arrangement is inappropriate?"
He Qiumao sensed the displeasure in his words and quickly knelt down, saying, "I dare not! But I am worried. Although His Majesty has ascended the throne, there are still those who will try to harm the unborn child in the womb of the Grand Concubine. If it's a princess, it's easy to deal with, but if it's a prince, I'm afraid..."
