Chapter 74 Ye Wanyi is missing
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, a series of urgent knocks came from the door.
Ye Wanning frowned slightly, looking somewhat uncomfortable, and muttered softly, "Cui'er...who is that..."
She hummed softly twice, and when no one answered, she groggily got up with her sleepy eyes open. But as soon as she got off the bed, she tripped over something and fell straight to the ground.
"Ah!" A strong feeling of weightlessness suddenly came over her, and Ye Wanning was immediately awakened, instinctively closing her eyes.
One second... two seconds... the pain she imagined still didn't come. Ye Wanning curiously opened her eyes, only to find herself lying in a pile of quilts. Ye Wanning wasn't prepared and screamed in fright, "Ah! What the hell is this?!" As she spoke, she pounded the quilts a few times.
"My wife..."
A muffled thud came from under the covers. Ye Wanning was startled and stared at the "lump" of something, asking cautiously, "Is it... Wenzhen?"
Suddenly, the blanket was pulled back, and Su Wenzhen, with dark circles under his eyes, looked at Ye Wanning with a mournful expression, "If it wasn't me, then who was it..."
"Pfft..." Seeing Su Wenzhen's disheveled appearance, Ye Wanning couldn't help but burst into laughter. She pointed at Su Wenzhen's dark circles and messy hair and laughed, "What are you doing? How did you end up looking like this?"
"It's all your fault..." Su Wenzhen sighed helplessly. After making that joke last night, Ye Wanning wouldn't let him sleep in the bed. He didn't want to go anywhere else, so he had to sleep on the floor in this room. But it was the floor after all, and he was used to being pampered. How could he sleep on that hard floor? He tossed and turned all night and didn't fall asleep until dawn.
Ye Wanning was taken aback. "I..." She looked at Su Wenzhen in confusion, about to defend herself, when suddenly the scene from last night flashed into her mind. So... it really was her? She turned her head and saw Su Wenzhen's haggard appearance. She felt a little guilty, and his frivolous image flooded her mind again. Ye Wanning felt a little embarrassed and rolled her eyes at him. "Serves you right!"
Seeing that there was still no sign of the door opening from inside, the person outside seemed to be getting anxious, and the knocking started again.
Ye Wanning was startled and quickly got off Su Wenzhen. She nudged him and said, "Go to bed." With that, she threw the quilt on the bed, put on a coat, and ran to open the door.
Still wondering who it could be, the door opened, and Ye Qingyuan stood anxiously in the doorway. Ye Wanning was startled, rubbed her eyes, and looked at him in surprise, "Father, what happened?"
Ye Qingyuan clenched his fist, hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Wan Ning, something bad has happened, Wan Yi... she... she's gone!"
"What!" Ye Wanning exclaimed in surprise, looking at Ye Qingyuan in disbelief. "You mean, Second Sister, she's gone?"
“Yes!” Ye Qingyuan sighed and shook his head. “Just now, the maid in her room came and said that the Second Miss, who was resting quietly in bed last night, has disappeared. This…this…I don’t know what happened!”
Hearing this, Ye Wanning bit her lip. After a long while, she looked up at Ye Qingyuan and said, "Father, don't worry. I'll send someone to look for her right away. I'm afraid my second sister drank too much and may have gone to the wrong room when she got up in the middle of the night. The Prince's mansion is heavily guarded, so there won't be any bandits. Don't worry about that. My second sister is definitely in the mansion!"
“Okay.” Ye Qingyuan nodded. “Then I’ll go look around her house first.”
"Okay." Ye Wanning replied, "I'll change my clothes and go with Wenzhen."
With that, Ye Qingyuan left. After seeing Ye Qingyuan off, Ye Wanning walked into the house. She frowned. Where would Ye Wanyi go?
"What's wrong?" Su Wenzhen looked outside and, through the crack in the door, caught a glimpse of the person who had come in. "What business does Prime Minister Ye have with you?"
"Ye Wanyi is missing." Ye Wanning yawned, looking somewhat listless. "I wonder what she's up to this time."
"Isn't that easy?" Su Wenzhen chuckled.
"Huh?" Seeing Su Wenzhen's knowing look, Ye Wanning was taken aback and looked at him suspiciously. "Did you make her disappear?"
"..." Su Wenzhen looked at Ye Wanning, somewhat speechless. She had spoken so logically last night, but today she seemed to understand nothing. "Isn't this an obvious fact?"
What does this mean?
Su Wenzhen glanced at Ye Wanning, then lay down, resting his head on his hands, looking at Ye Wanning with a half-smile, "If you want to find your second sister, go look around the Crown Prince's room!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanning's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered something interesting, and she reached out to pull Su Wenzhen out of bed.
"What are you doing?" Su Wenzhen lazily straightened up.
"Let's go see a play," Ye Wanning said, blinking her eyes at him and drawing out the last syllable in a coquettish tone.
Su Wenzhen felt a chill run down his spine, and the surroundings became eerie. Why did he have this feeling that... whenever his wife laughed like that, something bad would happen?
After Ye Wanning finished washing up, she led everyone on a grand "journey" to find the missing person. She pretended to lead everyone around and eventually arrived at the place where Su Wenyi was resting.
Upon seeing someone approaching, the guards standing outside the door immediately went on alert. Upon closer inspection, they recognized the newcomers as Prince Jin and Princess Jin, and they all bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Highness and Princess."
Ye Wanning smiled at the person in front of her, said nothing, but instead pinched Su Wenzhen's arm hard.
A sharp pain shot through him, and Su Wenzhen's face contorted as he immediately demanded, "Where are your Crown Prince's men?"
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has not yet risen."
Ye Wanning coughed lightly twice, glanced around, and said somewhat casually, "The second young lady of the Ye family is missing. Have any of you seen her?"
Upon hearing this, the guard's expression changed, and he immediately said, "How could the second young lady of the Ye family come here? Your Highness, please don't joke."
"I'm joking?" Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow, turning to look at Su Wenzhen, her tone full of danger. "Am I joking?"
Su Wenzhen forced a smile and said stiffly, "No."
Ye Wanning nodded in satisfaction, then asked the people behind her, "Am I joking?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison. Seeing this, Ye Wanning smiled and turned to the guard, "See, no one said I was joking. Open the door."
The guard bit his lip. Inside the room was his master, and outside the room was also his master, but... he hardened his heart and refused, saying, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, without the Crown Prince's order, I cannot open the door."
"He's a loyal person," Ye Wanning nodded. Then, she glanced at Su Wenzhen, raised an eyebrow, and wondered, "What should we do?"
Su Wenzhen found it amusing, and also thought Ye Wanning looked exceptionally cute, so he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her nose.
Ye Wanning was startled. Seeing the servants behind her snickering, she felt both ashamed and angry. She angrily slapped Su Wenzhen's hand away and glared at him fiercely.
Su Wenzhen didn't make a fuss. He smiled and joked with Ye Wanning for a while before speaking calmly to the guard, "Since that's the case, then open the window over there so we can take a look." As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Qingyuan behind him as if he were not paying attention. "Prime Minister Ye must be very anxious about losing his daughter. Let him see, so that Prime Minister Ye can rest assured."
“But…” The guard frowned, looking at Su Wenzhen with some hesitation.
"Why aren't you going yet?" Su Wenzhen frowned, looking at the guard with some impatience. "Do I really have to do it myself?"
The guard stiffened for a moment, then nodded somewhat helplessly, "Yes." With that, he walked to the side and gently pushed open the window.
The window had barely been opened when a shout came from inside: "Close it!"
The guard was startled. Even though he was quick, Ye Wanning and the others still saw the scene inside the room. There were clearly two people sleeping on the bed! Besides Su Wenyi, who else could it be but Ye Wanyi, who was also naked!
Ye Wanning couldn't help but gasp, "Hiss! Isn't that my second sister!"
She heard a loud shout from behind her. Ye Wanning turned her head and saw Ye Qingyuan with red eyes. "What a shameless thing!" she said, and then rushed into the house without paying any attention to the guards' obstruction.
Ye Wanning was startled and quickly reached out to grab Ye Qingyuan, "Father! No!"
