Chapter 579: The King Wants His Subject to Die (Part 1)
Although she did not enter the palace during this period, she heard about what happened in the palace.
Xiao Lanxi was locked up, and all the charges were related to Xiao Chengxuan and Jiang Qingmei.
Ye Chutang's words at this moment were as sharp as a knife, piercing straight into Xiao Jiayi's heart.
——Before, she had hoped that with Xiao Lanxi's care in the palace, her mother and brother's situation would not be too bad. But who knew that the mastermind behind all this was the person they had never suspected!
It would be fine if she didn't mention it, but once she did, Xiao Jiayi really hated it!
Xiao Jiayi took a deep breath, trying her best to stay calm, and turned her head away and stopped looking at Ye Chutang.
However, Ye Chutang did not seem to intend to end this unpleasant conversation. Instead, he glanced into the house and spoke casually:
"Princess, you and your husband are tired of each other every day. I guess your life in this mansion must be... not easy, right?"
Xiao Jiayi was so angry that she almost laughed.
She stared at Ye Chutang with sarcasm and resentment, all her emotions finally emerging clearly from her eyes, and she spoke word by word in a low voice:
"No matter what, I am the wife of the Marquis's Mansion. No one else can interfere in the affairs of this small place. So how can it be said to be difficult?"
Ye Chutang blinked his eyelashes slightly and smiled suddenly.
Xiao Jiayi was shocked by her reaction. She couldn't guess what Ye Chutang was thinking at the moment. She frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"
Ye Chutang chuckled and nodded: "Yes, of course you are right."
After Xie Pei died, Xie Anjun inherited the title. As long as Xiao Jiayi did not divorce him, she would remain the wife of the Marquis.
However, Ye Chutang's words did not dispel Xiao Jiayi's discomfort.
She always felt like something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
At this moment, Shen Yanchuan also walked out of the house.
Hearing the footsteps, Xiao Jiayi quickly restrained the expression on her face, looked away again, and her expression returned to indifference.
It was as if nothing that just happened had ever happened.
Chen Yanchuan's eyes swept across Xiao Jiayi without stopping for a moment.
He came to Ye Chutang and said:
"Now that the matter here is settled and I have seen the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery off for the last time, I will return to the palace to report."
Ye Chutang reacted for a moment. Is Chen Yanchuan... reporting his itinerary to her?
But the stakes are serious and this is justified.
After all, people come from the palace.
Ye Chutang nodded gently: "Go slowly, my lord."
Shen Yanchuan glanced back.
"The Marquis' Mansion will probably be busy tonight. It's getting late, so you'd better go back and get some rest early."
Ye Chutang immediately understood what he meant - it would be better for her to stay away from the Xie family's mess.
After thinking for a moment, she nodded.
"That's what I planned to do."
Chen Yanchuan said: "I'll take you there."
Ye Chutang: “……?”
It seems that she was the first one to arrive at the Mansion of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery? Why did Chen Yanchuan seem to be the host after hearing what he said?
She didn't care, but didn't he really look at how stiff Xiao Jiayi's face was next to her?
But Ye Chutang didn't want to watch it either.
So she chose to follow the good advice.
"Then thank you first, Prince."
…
As I walked out of the Xie family’s gate, a cold breeze blew towards me, instantly blowing away the dull and depressing atmosphere.
Ye Chutang exhaled lightly.
Chen Yanchuan suddenly said:
"You shouldn't have come tonight."
Ye Chutang stopped and looked sideways.
Meeting that pair of deep phoenix eyes, the guess in her heart finally came true.
She asked softly -
"So, everything tonight was your Majesty's idea?"
