Chapter 156: Extraneous Branches



There were only three words in the letter in Ye Yucheng's hand, and the three words that could be vaguely recognized were "divorce letter".

Ye Yucheng only needed to think about it for a moment before he knew what had happened: his mother and the fifth uncle must have divorced.

Ye Yucheng was not worried about anything else, he was only worried that his mother would be sad, so he was eager to go to his mother and comfort her.

But how is he going to get out?

Ye Yucheng's young face was full of contemplation, and his frown was not like that of a child at all.

Soon, Ye Yucheng looked confident and had obviously come up with an idea.

After burning the letter, Ye Yucheng did not write back. Instead, he said to Niuniu Baga, "Go back first and tell Xiaotuanzi that I already know about it."

The tone didn't sound like talking to a cat at all, but rather like talking to a subordinate.

“Meow—”

The cow let out a loud cry, then rubbed against Ye Yucheng's feet, then jumped onto the windowsill and disappeared into the night.

Only after the cat left did Ye Yucheng walk towards the door.

However, just as he reached the door, Ye Yucheng was stopped by the guards.

"Your Highness, the prince has ordered you to stay in your room."

The guards were quite respectful towards Ye Yucheng. After all, even if the prince and princess did not think much of the prince, he was still the only grandson of the emperor, and they did not dare to offend him.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yucheng only looked up at the guard, his eyes cold and his face expressionless. "The Spring Banquet is about to arrive. I want to discuss the matter with my father."

"This..." The guard hesitated for a moment when he heard that it was about the Spring Banquet.

Everyone in the mansion knew how much Prince Duan valued the Spring Banquet. After all, because of the house arrest, there was a high possibility that he would not be able to attend the Spring Banquet. Prince Duan was angry for a long time in the mansion, and the servants in the mansion suffered greatly from it.

The fact that the crown prince might be decided at the Spring Banquet was an open secret among all families, so it was not surprising that the guards of the palace knew about it.

"I've been thinking about it these past few days. My father is under house arrest because of me, so I have to do something for him." Ye Yucheng looked at the guard and said, "The emperor likes me. If I go to the palace to ask for his help, I'm sure he will show some mercy."

The guard's expression relaxed even more after hearing this.

The prince is right. If the prince asks, the emperor will surely be able to change his mind.

only……

"Why are you stopping me from seeing my father? Do you not want my father to attend the Spring Banquet?" Ye Yucheng's voice suddenly turned cold, with a hint of the majesty of a superior.

Even though he is still young, he is completely impossible to ignore and people can't help but want to surrender to him.

"No—I dare not." The guard knelt down in fear.

He really couldn't afford to be charged with such a crime.

"Since you don't dare, why don't you give way?" Ye Yucheng said coldly, with an innate aura of a king.

Now that things have come to this, how dare the guards continue to stop him?

The guards made way, and Ye Yucheng walked out of his yard. Although his steps were small, they were extremely steady.

After leaving his own courtyard, Ye Yucheng went straight to the main courtyard.

If he wanted to see his mother, he must first have free access to the Prince Duan's Mansion, and then he had to meet his father.

As soon as he stepped into the main courtyard, Ye Yucheng felt something was wrong.

This main courtyard is too quiet and unguarded.

This made Ye Yucheng subconsciously stop his feet, but soon he heard some movement.

The noise came from the study next door, and it seemed to be Su Jingchu's voice.

Subconsciously, Ye Yucheng slowed down his pace and approached slowly.

Inside the house, Su Jingchu looked at Ye Changyou with a look of grievance, "Your Highness only knows how to blame me. Have you ever pitied me as a victim of this incident? Isn't everything I did for Your Highness?"

There is grievance and accusation in these words.

Su Jingchu was also really aggrieved.

He originally thought that he had caught something on Prince Zhan's mansion and wanted to make a contribution, but he never expected that he would be confined to his house as well.

That would have been fine, but Prince Duan blamed herself for not being able to accomplish anything and instead causing more trouble than success, and she hadn't been kind to her in recent days.

How innocent is she?

This was all caused by Shangguan Ruoning and Su Liyue. She is the victim, okay?

However, facing Su Jingchu's weak face, Ye Changyou only felt annoyed. After all, he had seen it so many times that he should be immune to it.

Su Jingchu saw it clearly and couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart.

However, thinking of the purpose of his visit to Ye Changyou today, Su Jingchu took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.

"Your Highness, I have come here to discuss something with you." Su Jingchu looked at Ye Changyou, and the tenderness on her face faded a little.

Ye Changyou was a little impatient when he heard this, "What do you have to discuss with me?"

Obviously, Ye Changyou was not interested in what Su Jingchu was going to say.

Su Jingchu: "It's about this Spring Banquet..."

"Shut up, my king." Ye Changyou became furious before Su Jingchu could finish his words.

He was already annoyed that he was under house arrest and might not be able to go to the Spring Banquet, but this woman was really bringing up things that were out of the ordinary.

Su Jingchu was frightened by Ye Changyou's furious look, but she still said, "Your Majesty, please listen to me..."

Ye Changyou's expression was still not good, but he did not stop Su Jingchu from speaking.

Su Jingchu was a little nervous, but still said, "Your Highness, I know that my mother will definitely not let you miss this Spring Banquet, and I don't want to miss it either, because..."

Outside the door, Ye Yucheng heard everything Su Jingchu said clearly, which made Ye Yucheng's calm face show shock, anger and a bit of panic.

"Prince, why are you here?"

Just then, a guard's voice came from behind.

The sound in the house suddenly stopped at this moment.

The next moment, the door of the study was pulled open forcefully, and Su Jingchu appeared at the door.

At this moment, Su Jingchu looked at Ye Yucheng with an ugly expression, his eyes were even gloomier, and he looked a little ferocious.

"Why are you here? How much did you hear?" Su Jingchu asked coldly.

Behind Su Jingchu, Prince Duan was also staring at Ye Yucheng.

At this moment, Ye Yucheng lowered his eyes slightly, hiding all his emotions. When he raised his eyes again, there was no trace of emotion on his face, and he was no different from usual.

"I just got here." Ye Yucheng said, looking at Su Jingchu, "Is mother saying anything to father that I can't hear?"

His tone was calm, and his voice had the childishness that a child should have, making people feel that he was very innocent.

However, Su Jingchu still looked at Ye Yucheng with suspicion.

She didn't believe it was such a coincidence.

And, the most damning thing was that Ye Yucheng's gaze at her made her feel inexplicably guilty and anxious, as if everything about her was seen through.

And this is one of the reasons why she doesn't like Ye Yucheng.

Thinking of this, Su Jingchu's expression became even uglier, and he said in a deep voice, "Someone come——"

Regardless of whether Ye Yucheng heard it or not, she didn't want to cause trouble.
