Chapter 256 Why Don’t You Protect Me



Ye Xingchen saw all of this and realized that her divination was correct. The reason why she deliberately captured Lan Yue was to let Ye Laosi see her true intentions.

"Xingchen, although Lan Yue was indeed a bit too harsh on the fourth brother before, wouldn't it make us look petty if we arrest her?" Ye's mother asked in a low voice.

"Just send her away. Our Ye family is a respectable family. Don't let people think that we are bullying others." Ye's father agreed.

"Sister, do you think there is something wrong with Lan Yue, so you deliberately target her?" Ye Xiaosha asked with a gossipy look on his face.

Others also looked over. After all, in their eyes, although Ye Xingchen was strong and overbearing, he was kind-hearted and would never take the initiative to make things difficult for others.

If she teaches someone a lesson, it must be because that person provoked her first and deserves a beating.

Ye Xingchen smiled calmly: "Don't worry, Dad and Mom, maybe Fourth Brother still doesn't want Lan Yue to leave?"

"What do you mean?" the two elders of the Ye family asked in surprise.

"Didn't you notice that the direction Fourth Brother left just now was exactly the direction where Zhan Bai took Lan Yue away? I guess Fourth Brother has already secretly delivered food to Lan Yue." Ye Xingchen explained.

Mother Ye froze and subconsciously looked towards the fourth child's seat. Sure enough, there was one bowl missing from the table.

"This brat actually pretended to obey and even made an excuse that he was going to relieve himself, but he was actually going to deliver food." Ye's mother exposed his shortcomings.

Father Ye frowned, "If that's the case, then it doesn't seem like what the fourth brother said, that Lan Yue has been bullying him. If she really treats him badly, why would he, a sly guy, go and deliver food to others."

Ye Xiaosa suddenly realized: "So Xingchen told Fourth Brother that he would have good luck in love, and it seems to be true."

Mother Ye looked over quickly and said, "Xingchen, you've seen it too. Lan Yue is a bit rude and doesn't think before she speaks. If she really gets together with the fourth child, I'm afraid our family won't have peace.

Of course, I am not such a pedantic person. As long as the fourth brother really likes her and they truly love each other, I can accept it. The worst that can happen is that they can break up."

"Don't worry, Mom and Dad. Although Lan Yue has a rough temper, it's because she grew up in a mountain village with a group of masters. She is an orphan and no one taught her these things.

But her horoscope is indeed very compatible with that of the fourth brother, and she is extremely lucky for her husband. So the parents don't need to worry about it, just let them let nature take its course.

The reason why I had Lan Yue locked up was to see how Fourth Brother would react, to see how deep their relationship was, and whether they were willing to risk everything for each other."

Everyone suddenly realized, and Boss Ye had a look of admiration on his face: "Xingchen has many ideas. Since Xingchen has said so, parents should just stop caring about them."

"Yes, what Xingchen said is right."

Everyone believed in Ye Xingchen's words without a doubt.

"In that case, I don't care anymore. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let's just eat well." Ye's mother agreed.

"good."

Everyone ate and drank happily, and the meal was very warm.

As for Ye Laosi, he sneaked away and only knew the general direction, but had no idea where to go.

So he asked a servant, "I am the fourth brother of your princess. Your princess asked me to bring food to the girl who was just locked up. Where is she?"

The servant looked at him, and thinking of what Commander Zhan Bai had just told him, he immediately said, "Go to the end of the turn ahead, and then turn left and you'll be there."

"Okay." Ye Laosi left immediately.

Zhan Bai, who was in the dark, saw this scene but did not stop it. He turned around and went back to report.

In fact, even Zhan Bai could see that the princess had captured Lan Yue on purpose, presumably to test the sincerity of these two people.

Over here, the woodshed.

Lan Yue was locked in the woodshed. Although Zhan Bai had untied her acupoints, she did not leave or scream. She was still wondering why she had not reacted in time before being acupunctured.

Then Lan Yue heard a cat's meow. The sound was very familiar, exactly the same as the one she heard in the mountain village.

Lan Yue's face immediately darkened: "What are you doing here?"

Ye Laosi, who had walked to the window, stopped immediately when he heard Lan Yue's voice. He reached out to open the window and was delighted to find that it was not closed.

"Of course I'm here to bring you food. You're always a good eater, and if you're hungry you'll definitely get angry again. I know you like meat, so I specially picked up some meat dishes for you. I secretly hid them, so eat them while they're hot." Ye Laosi said as he took out the bowl from his sleeve.

Lan Yue took a look at the bowl in his hand. It was indeed filled with her favorite meat. This guy still had some conscience, but Lan Yue was still angry.

"Then why didn't you protect me when your sister and the others caught me just now?" Lan Yue asked angrily.

Ye Laosi looked depressed: "I can't beat him, but he is the regent's subordinate. Even the emperor's imperial guards are no match for him. How can I fight him when I can't lift anything with my hands or shoulders? I will only die.

So I saved my strength so that I could bring you food. I will think about how to get you out at night. There are too many servants and secret guards in the Regent's Mansion, so we can't get out now."

Lan Yue thought about it seriously and said, "That does make sense. I'll forgive you first. If you do it again, I'll beat you to death."

"I definitely wouldn't dare to do that. Eat quickly. I can't be out for too long. I'll go back first. You stay here well. They shouldn't make things difficult for you." Ye Laosi reminded.

"good."

By the time Ye Laosi returned to the table, everyone had almost finished eating.

Ye's mother and father carefully explained to Ye Xingchen the things to pay attention to after she became pregnant. Everyone else was also very concerned and pretended not to see Ye Lao Si.

After chatting for an incense stick of time, the second elder of the Ye family and others went back. However, the fourth elder of the Ye family said that he didn't stay long enough and insisted on spending the night in the Regent's Palace.

Ye Xingchen naturally knew what he was thinking, but pretended not to know: "Since Fourth Brother wants to stay, then stay. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I just happen to have something to talk to you about."

“That’s great.”

Ye Laosi stayed, still wondering what Xingchen would say to him, but Ye Xingchen went straight to the house to sleep and rest. Ye Laosi felt a little depressed, but he was not too angry. He only thought about how to rescue Lan Yue.

In the middle of the night, Ye Laosi secretly came out of the guest room, carefully looked around, and seeing that no one was around, he ran straight to the woodshed in the backyard.

The secret guards on the wall rolled their eyes when they saw this scene: "Sure enough, the princess guessed right. Should we go up and scare them?"

"Don't be anxious, let's go up after they meet." Su Ruoan suggested.

"You are still the mean one." Zhan Bai curled his lips, but also agreed.

"I'm doing this all for the two of them, otherwise who would want to be a matchmaker?" Su Ruoan retorted.

When Ye Laosi arrived at the woodshed, he immediately opened the window: "Lan Yue, come out quickly. I will take you away from here."

Lan Yue was very pleased to see that he really kept his word. She immediately jumped out of the window and followed Ye Laosi to leave.

"Where are you two going?" A cold voice came, and it was Zhan Bai who spoke.
